Hidden Master: starting by canceling ten marriage proposals

Inside the bar.

Princess Linglong hugged her knees, huddled in the deepest part of the booth.

Her face was pale, her large eyes brimming with tears, a picture of pitifulness.

And at the only entrance to the booth stood a man.

This man was the Shadow Palace Assassin sent by Yin Tian to protect Princess Linglong.

Originally, upon seeing the bar owner attempting to move against Princess Linglong, the Shadow Palace Assassin sent a message to Yin Tian, asking him to hurry over.

But very soon, he realized something was amiss.

Because if he didn't take action, that man was going to succeed!

He was about to take Princess Linglong away.

With no choice left, the man had to step forward and managed to protect Princess Linglong.

At the moment, the man was covered in blood, his flesh lacerated and torn so much so that he could barely stand.

The bar owner stood there with many people behind him, all of them his subordinates.

"What do you say? Brother, you don't have to do this," the bar owner said with a sneer at the man. "Is a woman really worth such a desperate fight?"

"If you want to touch her, you'll have to do it over my dead body!"

The man's body swayed, but his eyes were exceptionally determined.

"Heh..."

The bar owner let out a snort of derision, "Ridiculous, does this woman even know you? Are you really willing to risk your life to protect her?"

"By the order of my Family Head, I, Qi Er, must at all costs protect her—it's my duty!"

"Sigh..."

The bar owner shook his head, "No more words then. Since you're so keen on dying, I'll oblige you."

"Go, just kill him. I'm tired of talking."

Behind the bar owner, someone stepped forward, ready to make a move on Qi Er.

A glint of cold light flashed in Qi Er's eyes.

With many experts accompanying the bar owner, even in a one-on-one fight, he was no match for them.

There was only one way he could win.

As those people approach him, Qi Er did not hesitate to make his move!

This was the power he had been conserving!

Whoosh!

He quickly bypassed those individuals and charged toward the bar owner.

If he could take control of the bar owner, these people, fearing to harm their leader, would absolutely not dare to act against him and Princess Linglong.

But at that moment,

He heard a laugh at his ear.

Followed by the sharp sound of something tearing through the air.

Swoosh!

A throwing knife, flying with deadly accuracy, pierced his leg.

Blood flowed freely!

Qi Er felt that leg go weak, his body involuntarily falling forward.

With a thud, he collapsed to the ground.

The bar owner, on the other hand, stepped forward and stamped his foot on the back of Qi Er's hand.

Grinding it down, he looked at Qi Er with a smirk, "Trying to grab me?"

Qi Er's face contorted with pain, and while enduring the severe agony in his hand, he lifted his other hand in an attempt to grab the leg of the bar owner.

Swoosh!

Another sharp sound rang out.

The hand he had just raised was pierced by another throwing knife, nailing it to the ground!

"Kill him," the bar owner commanded indifferently. "As for that woman, take her to my room."

Just as the bar owner finished speaking, a calm voice came, "If you're not afraid of dying, go ahead and try."

The bar owner was taken aback, turned around, and saw a man with a tall figure and extremely handsome appearance approaching.

"Damn, another troublemaker," the bar owner muttered under his breath before looking at the newcomer. "Where did you pop out from? Are you just like this guy, not afraid of death?"

Meanwhile, Qi Er struggled to raise his head and saw who had come.

His body shuddered, and then, incredibly, two lines of bloody tears streamed down from his eyes, "Master... your subordinate is incompetent... I failed to protect the young miss..."

Yin Tian did not even glance at the bar owner and his bodyguards, but looked down at Qi Er with a softened expression. "You've done very well."

Hearing Yin Tian's words, a relieved smile finally appeared on Qi Er's face.

Then, his eyes closed, and he passed out.

Princess Linglong, hidden deep in the booth, had finally noticed Yin Tian.

With no regard for anything else, she rushed over and, surprisingly, was not stopped by anyone.

She hid behind Yin Tian, gripping his hands tightly, "Save... save me..."

"Because of you," Yin Tian's voice came. "My subordinate got hurt like this. Can't you be a little less capricious?"

Princess Linglong trembled.

She had not expected the first words from Yin Tian to be not of comfort, but a scolding!

"You..."

She looked at Yin Tian in disbelief.

Being a princess, even the King rarely scolded her.

Yet, this man in front of so many people, rebuked her!

Her grip on Yin Tian's hand loosened slightly, her expression becoming numb.

At this moment, the only man she could rely on had also let her down.

Yin Tian, however, couldn't care less about Princess Linglong's reaction and turned towards the bar owner instead.

"Now, it's time to settle accounts between us two."
