"Your Highness Fourth Prince, First prince is in the side hall, he said he is looking for you about some matters. Ask that you follow this servant to make this trip." A eunuch walked to Xiao Ran's side and said in a voice that everyone around them could hear.

Xiao Ran was a little depressed, how come in the blink of an eye Eldest Royal brother and Qing-Yan disappeared? Originally he had wanted to go search for them, now that someone came to tell him this, it simply was like people delivering pillows when one was sleepy. As a result, he asked to be excused by Western Xuan Emperor and Empress, then followed the eunuch and left.

Xiao Ran thought that in a short while he'd see Chu Qing-Yan again and became incomparably happy. His hand tightened on the toy he wanted to give Chu Qing-Yan. He was somewhat excited, this was something he wasn't able to give her just now. If Chu Qing-Yan was by Elder Royal Brother's side, than he'd give it to her.

As a result, his mind was all on the thought of being about to meet them so Xiao Ran was somewhat absent minded. After passing through the long corridor then the lotus flower pond, they had arrived at a remote courtyard before Xiao Ran sensed something was wrong.

If Elder Royal Brother was looking for him to discuss some matters, he wouldn't select such a remote place. Why would this eunuch bring him to this place?

At this moment, that eunuch with his hat lowered had his back to Xiao Ran, don't know what he was thinking.

Xiao Ran took a glance at this uninhibited place and suspicion arose from his heart. "Why would my Elder Royal brother select such a place, did you take the wrong way?"

One could only hear a sinister laugh coming from the person with lowered hat, that eunuch slowly turned around with his hand on his hat as he slowly took it off.

"Fourth Prince it's this place, there is no mistake. Only it's not Xiao Xu that is looking for you, rather Yama, the King of hell has come to take your life!"

Once the words were spoken, that hat left his hand and flew very quickly towards Xiao Ran.

When the opponent was turning around Xiao Ran was already paying close attention. Seeing him make a move, he immediately dodged the hat. Clearly his move wasn't fast enough so eunuch took advantage when he dodged to the side and took out the soft sword at his waist. He flew toward Xiao Ran stabbing with the sword.

All of a sudden, Xiao Ran had to deal with two moves and somewhat couldn't cope. As a result, that soft sword passed through the clothes at his waist but avoided injuring any critical point on his body.

That eunuch didn't get angry, instead he turned and used his other hand to strike, heavily hitting Xiao Ran on the shoulder. Xiao Ran spit out a mouthful of blood, his entire person bounced back and hit the stone wall behind him.

"Who are you? Actually dare to assassinate this prince?" Xiao Ran used both hands to push against the ground and with great difficulty stood up. Although blood was coming out from the corner of his mouth, his whole body gave off the demeanor of a prince. At this moment, he still hadn't lost the lofty and unyielding character of a prince.

Xiao Ran knew this person was a first-rate killer because he was very clear about his own body. His body wouldn't collapse like that with just one blow, moreover, this person ignored his identity and dared to move against him. Then there were only two possibilities. First one was that this person was hired with money to kill people for other people. The other possibility was this person was a death soldier, cultivated by a high official in a secret place. He was sent out at the right time to commit violent crimes and get rid of the thorn in his master's side.

"Fourth prince, you don't need to know who I am, because very soon you will go to the underworld." That eunuch grasping the sword slowly approached.
