As the car curtain was gently lifted, a figure quietly entered the car.

Long time no see, Yu Prajna is even faster. Still dressed like a man, still with that cool and beautiful face, but thinner now.

"Jiang Xue."

Her hoarse voice startled Jiang Xue: "How did your voice... become like this?"

Jiang Xue pulled her to sit down and carefully examined her throat.

"The vocal cords are damaged. Who did this?"

Anger slowly built up inside her.

Yu Prajna remained silent, lowered her head, and two lines of tears fell. Yu Prajna seldom cried. In fact, since Jiang Xue met her, she had never seen her cry.

When she was found at the foot of Changle Mountain, she was covered in wounds, and her wounds were smeared with poison that would cause her skin and flesh to fester. Even when her wounds were being cleaned and sutured, she did not make a single sound.

This strong woman was now shedding tears. Jiang Xue felt something was amiss.

"Miss Yu, what happened to your hand?"

Xiao Zhan noticed that her hands were placed stiffly on her knees, and her fingers had not moved since she entered the room. Years of martial arts experience told him that something was wrong with Yu Prajna.

After hearing this, Jiang Xue immediately checked her hand. The moment she touched it, she was shocked.

"Prajna, your tendons..."

The tendons in her hands were all destroyed, not a single one left.

"What happened? Where is Nangong Yue? Why would he let you suffer like this?"

Jiang Xue had trouble controlling her emotions when talking about her friends. Seeing this, Xiao Zhan patted her shoulder to calm her down.

"He doesn't remember me anymore..."

When Yu Prajna mentioned Nangong Yue, her heart felt like it was cut by a knife. Her lips trembled, and she wanted to say something, but she couldn't say a word.

How could she tell Jiang Xue that her scars, hoarse voice, and injured hands were all caused by Nangong Yue?

He drank the medicine given by Xiao Hunruo and completely forgot about her. He even treated Xiao Hunruo as his lover and obeyed her every word.

"Yu Prajna, do you think I can't do anything to you just because you are good at martial arts? Look, your man has become my plaything in the end."

Yu Prajna was tied to the torture device and watched Nangong Yue voluntarily drink the medicine in order to save her. The light in her eyes gradually disappeared, but she was powerless to do anything.

In her memories, his funny, coquettish, serious and affectionate appearance kept replaying in her mind and eventually turned into countless fragments.

"Prajna, your voice is too loud."

"Prajna doesn't like your hands."

These cold words were engraved on her heart like a brand. Although he looked at her, she could no longer find her own shadow in his eyes. The Prajna he called out was no longer her.

"Come back with me first, I will help you solve these problems."

Seeing Yu Prajna's pain, Jiang Xue did not force her to say more. She asked someone to bring her some water to drink and gently coaxed her to lie down and rest. Perhaps because she was too tired during this period, she fell into a deep sleep as soon as she lay down.

"Someone come here." After confirming that Yu Prajna was asleep, Jiang Xue said seriously.

"Princess." The spy outside the window replied.

"Go check Nangong Yue's whereabouts and what happened in Prajna Square recently."

"it is good!"

In the Feng family compound in the capital city of Beilingyu, Xiao Hunruo seemed to have returned to her own territory. She sat confidently in the main seat, swinging her legs casually on the armrests of the chair.

Beside her, Nangong Yue stood with empty eyes like a puppet.

"Chief Feng, the person I just sent here disappeared in the blink of an eye. How should I settle this account?"

If Xiaohun had a smile on her face, if it weren't for the three corpses lying on the ground, others would have thought she was visiting.

Feng Ji sat down below, turning the teacup in his hand gently, but he said nothing. Looking at the bodies lying in all directions in the hall, he felt a chill in his heart.

As a noble of Beiling, he was usually full of intrigues in the court, but when he really encountered grudges in the martial arts world, it was the first time he felt the chill in his bones.

Recently he learned a piece of news that Xiao Zhan had long left the palace and the one sitting on the throne now was Prince An Xiao Yun.

This was a godsend for him! Xiao Zhan's people-friendly policies had been a headache for the old nobles for a long time, and now that he had secretly run out of the palace, it gave them the opportunity to take action.

As long as they get rid of Xiao Zhan, deal with Xiao Yun on the charge of treason, and then support Prince Shen Xiao Shen to ascend the throne, wouldn't everything be logical?

Xiao Shen is the son of Concubine Shu and has a blood relationship with the Zhao family. His stance should be consistent with that of the old nobles.

However, Xiao Zhan is both civil and military, so it is not easy to deal with him. Moreover, the power of the nobles or the court cannot be used to avoid leaving traces.

Therefore, Feng Ji thought of the Jianghu forces and chose Prajna Square, which had a feud with the Beiling royal family.

Xiaohunruo also happened to want to avenge her sisters in the neighborhood, and the two of them hit it off immediately.

After breaking Yu Prajna's tendons, Xiao Hunruo planned to hand her over to the nobles of Beiling for torture as a punishment for her betraying Prajna Square and helping Jiang Xue.

However, these nobles couldn't even keep an eye on a person with a broken hand, and let her escape!

The more Laughing Soul thought about it, the angrier he became, and the smile on his face became brighter. Against the backdrop of the blood, that smile looked extremely terrifying.

"Master Xiaofang, you have already dealt with many people who failed in their duties. It would be a waste of time to continue. If someone runs away, we can always find him."

Feng Ji thought for a long time before speaking carefully. Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Xiaohunruo.

"Find her? Easier said than done." Xiao Hunruo said contemptuously, then turned around and stepped on the already cold corpse, stomping hard a few times.

She raised her left leg and placed it on her right leg, holding her chin with her hand, with a hint of sarcasm in her eyes:

"Do you know? Yu Prajna is the most powerful person in Prajna Square. I went through so much trouble to capture her. Now she has escaped, but you just say that finding her is the end of it?"

Chief Feng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and asked cautiously, "Then how do you think we can solve this problem?"

Xiao Hunruo's eyes became more fierce, and she put forward her own conditions: "Give me a legal identity, a luxurious mansion, 10,000 taels of silver and 100 rolls of high-quality silk."

Hearing this, Patriarch Feng’s face turned pale instantly.

The land prices in Yujing City were frighteningly high; a mansion would easily cost tens of thousands of taels of gold; and ten thousand taels of silver plus a hundred pieces of silk, such treatment was almost equivalent to that of a prince who had made great military achievements.

If it was really given, the Feng family's wealth would probably shrink by half. Not to mention the issue of changing one's identity, which was almost impossible in Yujing City. Once discovered, the consequences would be disastrous.

"This is absolutely not okay!"

Patriarch Feng refused firmly, but before he could finish his words, he suddenly saw a bright red in front of him, which frightened him so much that his whole body froze - the body of a servant fell at his feet, his eyes wide open, and his death was extremely horrible.

The blade in Nangong Yue's hand gently pressed against Chief Feng's carotid artery, and her cold eyes seemed to tell him: You are next.
