Chapter 294 That Chu Yun, I want ten cuts too.

Xiao Wang's eyes narrowed slightly. Even though he was a cold-hearted person, a strange feeling arose in his heart at this moment.

However, this strange phenomenon did not last long before it was disrupted by the whooshing sound of arrows outside the dilapidated temple.

"Something's wrong! Someone's attacking! Protect the Prince!"

The guards shouted, and then the sounds of a frenzied fight erupted outside the dilapidated temple.

Inside the dilapidated temple, an arrow pierced the old man's right palm. He cried out in pain, his dagger fell to the ground, and blood gushed from his hand, splattering onto Chu Yan's face.

"Who is it! How dare Chu Yan disobey!"

King Xiao quickly dodged to the side, cursing angrily.

He clearly said not to tell anyone, but it seems Chu Yan still didn't keep his promise. He shouldn't have let Madam Chu go so early.

Otherwise, they could still threaten Chu Yan and the others right now.

Outside, Xiao Ye brought a team of elite guards, who quickly routed Xiao Wang's men.

Xiao Ye led Su Liluo into the dilapidated temple, where they found Xiao Wang trying to escape with Chu Yan and the others.

"Stop them! Don't let a single one escape!"

Xiao Ye gave another cold command.

"Yan'er!"

Su Liluo was horrified when she saw Chu Yan in Xiao Wang's arms, her face covered in blood.

Then, her gaze toward Prince Xiao was as cold and sharp as a knife.

"Prince Xiao, release Yan'er immediately, or if something happens to her, you will all die!"

"Do you think I'm stupid? If you release her, you'll immediately shoot arrows at me and wound me! You can only release her after we've safely left!"

King Xiao snorted coldly and hugged Chu Yan in his arms even tighter.

He knew that Chu Yan was his best lifeline at this moment, so he ignored Chu Yun and picked up Chu Yan instead.

Chu Yun was carried by one of his guards.

"You can't escape now, there are our people all around you!"

Su Liluo tried to persuade King Xiao.

But King Xiao ignored him and instead pressed his sword against Chu Yan's neck.

"If you don't let me leave, then I will perish together with Yan'er!"

"you......"

Su Liluo gritted her teeth and looked at Xiao Wang, then glanced helplessly at Xiao Ye.

Xiao Ye understood Su Liluo's concerns, so he said to Xiao Wang, "Alright, I'll give you a chance to leave this dilapidated temple, but you must release the person after you leave, otherwise—"

"Very well! I agree. As long as you let us walk a hundred meters, I will release her!"

Seeing that Xiao Ye had agreed, King Xiao immediately agreed before he could finish speaking.

One hundred meters is enough for him to escape.

Although his men couldn't defeat Xiao Ye, they could still escape if given the chance.

This matter shouldn't be blown out of proportion, and he didn't want to leave any evidence for them.

So Xiao Ye's men stepped aside, making way for Xiao Wang's men.

Xiao Wang carried Chu Yan out of the dilapidated temple. After walking for a while, just as he was about to put Chu Yan down and run away on his own, he suddenly felt a pain in the back of his neck.

Then, he rolled his eyes.

I'm dizzy.

"Your Highness!"

Xiao Wang's men shouted and tried to help him escape, but in an instant, many people surged out from all sides and blocked them.

"Yan'er!"

Che Yi walked around behind Xiao Wang to the front, snatched Chu Yan and hugged her in his arms.

When he saw the bloodstains on Chu Yan's face, a look of pain flashed in his eyes, and he immediately carried her to Su Liluo.

"Your Highness, please save her!"

Su Lilu examined the wounds on Chu Yan's face and then took her pulse.

They found that she was physically unharmed, just temporarily unconscious. After wiping the blood off her face and bandaging the cut, they discovered that she was fine.

Only then did she feel relieved.

At the same time, King Xiao and Chu Yun fainted on the ground.

After treating Chu Yan's injuries, they coldly looked at the unconscious Prince Xiao and his companions.

"I killed that beast!"

Enraged, Che Yi was about to draw his sword and kill King Xiao.

Upon learning that he wanted to change Chu Yan's face, Che Yi considered this Prince Xiao to be a dead man.

Just as his sword was about to strike, Xiao Ye suddenly spoke up and stopped him.

"Stop! Killing him like this will bring trouble to Chu Yan, the Chu family, and me and the Crown Princess!"

"But he's treated Chu Yan like this, keeping him around is just asking for trouble!"

Che Yi turned back to look at Xiao Ye with dissatisfaction.

"Do you want Chu Yan to be buried with him? No matter what, he is a prince. It's not your turn to die. If you kill him, the Chu family will be in big trouble."

Besides, don't you think it's too easy for someone like him to die like this?

Before Xiao Ye could speak, Su Liluo spoke first.

She understood Xiao Ye's concerns and felt that what he said was right.

Prince Xiao was, after all, a prince of royal blood. If he were killed by Che Yi like this, there would likely be big trouble later on.

Sometimes, killing someone without their knowledge doesn't cause them pain; it only shatters their hope and makes them lose everything. This is the greatest torment and punishment for a person.

Wasn't Prince Xiao trying to use Yan'er?

Didn't you want to ascend the throne?

Let him watch himself fail little by little, lose everything little by little; that's the true way to destroy his spirit.

"Then, what should we do? He hurt Chu Yan like this today, we can't just let him get away with it, can we?"

Che Yi was still unwilling to accept it.

"Of course we won't let him off so easily. We'll repay him and Chu Yun tenfold for every knife he slashed at Yan'er."
