The fame of the Princess Consort spread rapidly, and young cultivators admired Baili Hongzhuang to the extreme.
In contrast, the General Dai's Mansion was in a state of gloom at the moment.
They had thought that they would win the martial arts competition without any surprises, but Dai Zhiman not only lost but also lost completely.
The protagonist in everyone's eyes remained unusually calm. Defeating Dai Zhiman was not something she took pride in.
Returning to her room, Baili Hongzhuang entrusted the white lion to Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai's care, and she began her cultivation as usual.
She was about to go to the Canglan Academy, and just from its reputation, she knew that there would be no shortage of powerful individuals there. She had to improve her strength as soon as possible.
Nightfall slowly descended, and the imperial city was covered in a thin veil of darkness, serene and peaceful.
Baili Hongzhuang, who was cultivating, suddenly opened her eyes and focused her gaze on the rooftop. Someone was there!
"Master, someone has come," Xiao Hei's solemn voice sounded at the same time. "The visitor is hostile!"
Baili Hongzhuang nodded slightly. In the dead of night, she climbed onto the rooftop. Who else could it be if not an assassin?
Could it be that Dai Tianxiong's speed was so fast that he had already found an assassin to deal with her in such a short time?
"Let's go out and have a look," Baili Hongzhuang's face turned cold, her voice filled with an icy chill.
If it was really someone sent by Dai Tianxiong, then she could only say that Dai Tianxiong was truly fearless!
Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai scurried onto Baili Hongzhuang's shoulders, following her as she walked outside.
"Since you're here, reveal yourself directly. No need to hide and seek, to save trouble!"
Her cold voice carried indifference and recklessness, without the slightest hint of nervousness or unease due to the appearance of an assassin.
Qiao Ming on the rooftop showed a surprised expression after hearing Baili Hongzhuang's words. This woman's behavior was indeed extraordinary.
After learning that the target she was supposed to assassinate was the princess consort, he hesitated a little. However, the price offered by the other party was too generous, and he couldn't refuse.
As long as he killed Baili Hongzhuang, he could leave the imperial city!
In the next moment, Qiao Ming leaped down from the rooftop and stood in front of Baili Hongzhuang.
Baili Hongzhuang observed the man before her, dressed in nighttime clothes, and quickly judged his cultivation level—late stage of the Profound Origin Realm!
"Who sent you?" Baili Hongzhuang's pretty face was covered in frost, and her voice was as cold as ice.
Qiao Ming sneered, "I'm only responsible for killing you. As for who sent me, I'm afraid you will never know in this lifetime!"
As soon as his words fell, Qiao Ming's attack had already struck!
This was the royal residence, heavily guarded. He had to finish the battle quickly; otherwise, it wouldn't be easy for him to leave once others arrived.
Ding!
Baili Hongzhuang quickly drew her Blue Ice Sword and engaged in a fight with Qiao Ming!
The sound of metal clashes continued endlessly, and Qiao Ming's eyes were filled with astonishment.
This woman was only at the early stage of the Profound Origin Realm, yet she could contend with him?
He clearly felt that this woman was inferior to him in terms of strength and power, yet she relied on her exquisite swordsmanship to persist in the fight against him!
How could a fifteen-year-old girl possess such rich combat experience?
Qiao Ming found it inconceivable, but this scene happened right before his eyes, leaving him no choice but to believe it!
The guards of the Wang Mansion rushed over after hearing the clash of metal, immediately surrounding Baili Hongzhuang and Qiao Ming.
"Princess Consort!"
The steward was anxious. He never expected that someone would dare to come to the Wang Mansion to assassinate the princess consort!
If anything were to happen to the princess consort, they would all have to give up their lives in service!
