[I am willing]

“Master, be careful!” Chang’an’s face showed horror as he unsheathed his sword and rushed forward.

At the same time, four masters dashed out from the dark.

Su Liang saw that Mai Fei had evaded the fatal blow and silently pulled Ning Jing back to a safer distance.

Mai Fei, who had been struck in the left shoulder by a sword, was quickly rescued and moved to a safe area.

Su Liang initially thought he was in mortal danger and that Ning Jing needed to save him.

Only now did she realize that Mai Fei’s glabella was dark, meaning he was about to kill someone, and Ning Jing had to stop him.

Gazing at the colorful-clothed assassin, Su Liang asked softly, “Could it be that heaven wants us to save her?”

Ning Jing nodded, confirming Su Liang’s judgment.

The woman in colorful clothes had her face covered, so her face couldn’t be seen, just a pair of eyes filled with hatred.

She didn’t look like a professional assassin.

Unlike Yan Shiba, who took people’s money to kill for them, this woman seemed to have emotional fluctuations when she killed.

The colorful-clothed woman was skilled in Martial Arts, but the secret guards around Mai Fei were no ordinary people, and they also had a numerical advantage.

Her defeat was imminent, and she wanted to escape but was injured.

“Master, let’s go back to the room and have Miss Su treat your injuries!” Chang’an supported Mai Fei.

Mai Fei coldly glanced at the colorful-clothed woman who was stabbed again,

“No hurry, I won’t die.”

Su Liang wasn’t in a hurry either. In this moment, she was more concerned about the assassin.

After a quarter of an hour, the colorful-clothed woman was captured by the secret guard and knelt before Mai Fei.

Her face cover was removed, revealing a scar from a burn on half of her cheek. She was very young, and her eyes showed no fear, only deep hatred.

Su Liang looked at Ning Jing, who shook his head to indicate he did not recognize her.

“Who are you? Who sent you?” Mai Fei asked coldly.

The woman spat and sneered with mockery but kept silent.

Chang’an kicked her in the chest, sending her flying and coughing up blood, but she continued to laugh.

It was a fearless attitude that put life and death aside.

“Master, she seems to be a Death Soldier,” Chang’an frowned.

Assassins work for money and can be bought, but Death Soldiers work for faith and are not afraid of death.

Searching through her belongings, they found nothing related to her identity. Mai Fei’s face remained expressionless, “Kill her.”

Ning Jing pushed Su Liang, who suddenly stood between Mai Fei and the woman.

Mai Fei narrowed his eyes, ‘Miss Su, what are you doing?

“Mai Fei, isn’t it inappropriate to kill at a peaceful place like Ling Mountain Temple?” Su Liang really wanted to punch Ning Jing.

Mai Fei snorted, “She started it. In that case, let Chang’an take her out of Ling

Mountain Temple and kill her afterward. Miss Su wouldn’t object, would she?” Su Liang sighed softly, “Can you please spare her life, Mai Fei?” Not only Mai Fei, but also the woman on the ground looked at Su Liang.

“Miss Su, your behavior makes me suspect that you and her are in cahoots,” Mai Fei stared at Su Liang’s eyebrows and eyes, feeling that he had seen her somewhere long ago, perhaps passing by her on the streets of the capital city?

“I lost my memory after my previous injury, and I forgot everything that happened before. Maybe we do have some connection, but I don’t know why, I just want to save her.” Su Liang’s words sounded quite bold, but knowing Mai Fei’s background and the purpose of finding her, she deliberately said this to remind Mai Fei that if he wanted to use her, he had to offer some benefits first.

As expected, Mai Fei fell silent, weighing whether it was worth it or not.

After a while, he snorted coldly, “I’ll give Miss Su this face! But if she dares to assassinate again next time, I won’t be so polite.”

Su Liang smiled slightly, “Having seen the power of Mai Fei’s skilled people, she won’t foolishly risk her life again, right?”

“Master, treating your injuries is the priority!” Chang’an reminded Mai Fei.

“Then please trouble Miss Su,” said Mai Fei, and Chang’an helped him back to the room.

Su Liang pulled up the colorful-clothed woman and whispered, “I don’t know you, and saving you was just an impulse. There is no need to repay me. Just go, and don’t do anything reckless again.”

The colorful-clothed woman was stunned, but Su Liang had already let her go and was walking towards Mai Fei’s room.

From beginning to end, Ning Jing had no presence.

As Su Liang entered the room and looked back, both the assassin and Mai Fei’s secret guards had disappeared, leaving only traces of blood in the courtyard, evidence of the recent fight.

“I have little experience in medicine, are you sure you want me to treat you?” Su Liang asked again.

Mai Fei nodded, “Thank you.” Having lost a considerable amount of blood, his face grew even paler.

“You all, please leave.” Mai Fei gazed at Chang’an and Ning Jing.

Chang’an frowned, “I have to ensure my master’s safety.” Su Liang had just saved one person who tried to kill Mai Fei, so his eyes were filled with vigilance as he looked at her.

Su Liang spoke, “Ning Jing must stay to ensure my safety.”

Mu Fei originally wanted to talk to Su Liang about something private, but the secret guard had just exposed his true identity as more than just a County Magistrate. It just so happened that he also planned on winning Ning Jing over.

Su Liang treated Mu Fei’s wounds and stopped the bleeding, then Mu Fei asked Ning Jing directly about the whereabouts of the sedatives.

Ning Jing did not answer. Su Liang remained calm, “I’m aware of this situation. Master Mu, care to explain?”

“You two truly are siblings who trust each other!” Mu Fei’s words were filled with meaning.

“Compared to the mysterious Master Mu, we naturally trust each other more.” Su Liang said.

Mu Fei nodded slightly, “That’s true. Actually, my real name is Duanmu Chen.” Su Liang appeared surprised, “A member of the Royal Family?”

Mu Fei looked at Ning Jing, who was flipping through the Buddhist Scripture on the table, his expression unreadable.

“My master is the fourth prince.” Chang’an said. But he didn’t understand why Mu Fei was revealing his true identity in front of these two.

“Why would the fourth prince come to this small place as a County Magistrate?” Su Liang looked puzzled, “By the way, I heard some rumors that an imperial envoy came to Bei’an County to investigate the iron mine smuggling case. Could it be…”

“It’s me.” Mu Fei said.

Su Liang continued to treat Mu Fei’s wounds without stopping, “Your

Highness, why not investigate secretly instead? This is much too dangerous.”

Mu Fei didn’t answer this question. But Su Liang guessed that he might have intentionally exposed himself to lure enemies, confusing them and arranging more crucial things in secret.

However, the abilities and performances of the assassin just now didn’t suggest he was sent by any powerful figure. It seemed more like someone with a personal grudge against Mu Fei. Su Liang believed that Mu Fei had let the man go as a favor to her because the assassin wasn’t threatening enough.

Events from the past couple of days had proven this fourth prince to be quite calculating and cautious.

Next, Mu Fei brought up Su Yuanzhou’s affairs.

Su Liang frowned as she listened. What Mu Fei said was almost the same as what Ning Jing knew.

After listening, Su Liang asked, “So, do you mean that my family was framed?”

“You’d better call me Master Mu.” Mu Fei said, “I do suspect that, but I have no evidence. When I learned that you were in Bei’an County, I hoped you could return to the capital and assist in the investigation of the truth. I didn’t expect you to lose your memory. But even with amnesia, you’re a key witness who might recall something in the future. The sedative I gave to Ning Jing was just to test his character, never intended to harm you. If he had easily betrayed you, perhaps you would’ve been more willing to return to the Capital City with me.” Su Liang sighed softly, “So that’s it.”

“What does Miss Su think of this?” Mu Fei looked at Su Liang and asked.

Su Liang turned her head to look at Ning Jing.

Mu Fei’s eyes flickered, ‘Miss Su isn’t willing to leave Young Master Ning?”

Ning Jing seemed absorbed in the Buddhist Scriptures, as if he didn’t care about what was happening.

Su Liang looked back at Mu Fei and forced a bitter smile, “Master Mu guessed it right.”

Mu Fei was taken aback for a moment, “Aren’t you sworn siblings?”

Su Liang bandaged Mu Fei’s wound, “I assume Master Mu is aware of the time we pretended to get married. That time, he saved me out of kindness and I developed feelings for him, but he only sees me as his sister. That’s why we became siblings.”

Ning Jing’s hand, flipping through the scriptures, paused for a moment.

Mu Fei frowned, “You mean you like Ning Jing, but he doesn’t like you, and yet you still want to follow him?”

“As the saying goes, ‘Familiarity breeds affection.’ Perhaps I can wait until he changes his mind?” Su Liang sighed.

“Miss Su, you might be feeling gratitude towards him and are temporarily lost in it. Such humbleness is not worth it.” Mu Fei said.

Su Liang shook her head, “I’m willing.”

Mu Fei: …

Chang’an couldn’t help but speak up, “Is Miss Su unwilling to return to the capital with my master? Is chasing after Young Master Ning more important than avenging your family members?”

“I can’t remember the past, but regarding revenge…” Su Liang frowned, “If they are indeed wronged, I naturally want to find out the truth and clear their names. ”

“In a few days, you will follow me back to the capital, and I’ll help you.” Mu Fei’s expression brightened.

Su Liang changed the subject, “I will go to the capital, but not now. If I follow the fourth prince back, people will surely suspect that we plotted together.” “When are you planning to return to the capital?” Mu Fei asked.

“When Ning Jing passes the imperial examination, and after the New Year, I’ll go with him to the capital for the exams.” Su Liang said.

Mu Fei snorted, “In the end, you still can’t let go of him.”

“It’s only a few more months. And you, Master Mu, must have important matters to deal with. I guess you can’t help me clear my name right now.” Su Liang said.

After a moment of silence, Mu Fei asked again, “Will you really go to the capital?”

Su Liang nodded, “As long as Ning Jing passes the examination, I’ll definitely go.”

Mu Fei blurted out, “What do you like about him, anyway?”

Su Liang sighed deeply, “I just like being ignored by him. Maybe one day he will notice me and start taking care of me, and then I might find him boring and stop liking him. ”

Ning Jing’s hand, flipping the scripture, paused for a moment again.

Chang’an’s mouth twitched uncontrollably, and he looked at Su Liang like she was a girl who was clearly out of her mind.

Mu Fei was speechless, deeply suspecting that Su Liang was just rambling and trying to fool him….
