C524 Letter from the ninth master (2/2)

Immediately after, a long sword was held at her neck as she calmly looked at the person in front of her, ”Chief Guard?”

”Auntie Xiao was killed by you before she was thrown into the lotus pond?” Lian Tian said.

Leng Mei did not refute him and instead said, ”Is Chief Protector trying to take revenge for Auntie Xiao?”

”If I want to avenge her, will you still properly stand in front of me?” Lian Tian looked straight at her face that was no different from ice and snow.

Leng Mei looked at the sword that was resting on her neck, then slowly turned her gaze to the sky.

”Who the hell are you?” Lian Tian stared intently at the green-clothed lady in front of him as he said.

Leng Mei raised her eyes and looked at him indifferently, ”I am the person sent by the Ninth Prince to protect the eldest young miss.”

”So it's the ninth prince's man.” Lian Tian's sword had no intention of withdrawing it. ”No matter who you are, you're under my control since you're in the Prime Minister's house. I won't allow you to do anything that goes against the rules under the Prime Minister's nose.”

”You're in charge?” The cold brows slightly creased, ”Then let's see if you have the ability to do so.” She put the ninth prince's letter into her bosom, pulled out the short sword at her waist, and said.

The two of them exchanged moves in this quiet and secluded place. In the end, it was a draw. Their cold eyebrows landed on Lian Tian's shoulder, while Lian Tian held Leng Mei's hand.

”Let go!” When Leng Mei saw that he had been holding her wrist, her expression immediately darkened as she coldly spoke.

Lian Tian was stunned and immediately let go of his hand. He took a step back and clenched it into a fist before letting go and said with a flushed face, ”Sorry, I didn't do it on purpose. I forgot the difference between a man and a woman when fighting. I deserve to die.”

”I have fought and killed for many years. It's not like I haven't seen the world. This time, it's all thanks to the Chief Protector for not pursuing the death of Auntie Xiao in detail, saving Eldest Miss some trouble. ” The cold brows and expression seemed to have returned to calmness. Then, as if nothing had happened, he turned around and left the area.

After a long moment, he lowered his head and looked at his hand.

”Chief Protector!” At this moment, several guards came over and said, ”We just heard a fight here, but what happened?”

”Helpless, it was me who spoke a few words to the guard beside the young miss.” Lian Tian sheathed his sword and said.

”Eh, Chief Protector, what's wrong? Are you not feeling well?” one of the guards asked.

”Me?” Doubt appeared in Lian Tian's eyes.

”Your face is a little flushed.”

”...” ”No problem, the Prime Minister is going out, let's go quickly.” Lian Tian turned around and quickly walked out.

”Eldest Miss, this is the Ninth Prince's letter.” Lian Ruyue was writing a letter in front of the writing desk, so she handed over the letter Feng Yunzheng had sent her with both hands.

Lian Ru Yue's hand slightly trembled as she put down the brush. She stretched out her hand to take the letter in front of her. The red string on her wrist made her snow-white wrist appear all the more beautiful.

He finally sent a letter?
