I was reborn after cheating on the aloof and powerful man.

Chapter 190 Those who can fight never talk nonsense

As night fell and all was quiet, Fei Xi waited until she fell asleep, but Qiu Shuying never returned.

After entering the room, she stayed inside, only asking Qiu Shuying's attendant to fetch some brush and ink so she could paint, and refused to come out.

Even when the old king sent someone to invite her to a banquet that evening, she declined, citing that she was unwell due to the change in environment.

The courtyard was quiet and still; apart from the breathing of the servants at the gate, there wasn't even a breath of wind.

Behind the stone pillars leading to the courtyard's arcade, a small figure, about the height of a vase, appeared out of nowhere.

Just as the guards at the door were changing shifts, the figure leaped over the windowpane and into the room at a speed too fast for the naked eye to detect.

One of the attendants seemed to notice something and glanced back towards the window. He tugged at his companion's clothes and pointed towards the window.

His companion shook his head at him. The two did not speak, but their eyes met, and years of tacit understanding conveyed their mutual thoughts.

'The window frame didn't move, it's nothing, maybe it's just a little mouse.'

The "little mouse" that entered the room hid in a dark corner for a while.

Only after confirming that no one was outside checking did he cautiously peek out and look towards the bed.

The layout of the rooms in the castle is different from that in the Central Plains; the bed is placed in the very center of the room.

Under the moonlight, the "little mouse" spotted the person he was looking for at a glance. The person had their eyes closed and was sleeping soundly with a peaceful face.

He carefully and quietly walked towards the bed, then laboriously climbed up the bedpost onto the bed.

He had just steadied himself on the edge of the bed and reached out his little hand to wake the person in bed.

The person who should have been asleep suddenly opened his eyes and met his gaze.

Just then, the sounds of weapons clashing suddenly came from outside the door.

Before long, the people outside the door fell one after another, and several men in black rushed into the room, raising their knives and slashing wildly at the bed.

The moment the blade struck the blanket, the men in black noticed something was wrong on the bed. The leader of the group lifted the blanket to take a look.

There was no one in the bed; only two pillows were broken and tattered, with soft silk floss scattered all over the bed.

The men in black realized something was wrong and were about to search the room when three sword energies arrived in succession, heading straight for them.

The sword energy arrived in an instant, and most of the men in black were unable to dodge in time. Several screams were heard as they collapsed to the ground.

"Why are there so many smelly men? Little girl, where are you? Come out quickly, come into your brother's arms, your brother came here especially to keep you company."

The frivolous and wanton voices echoed in the room. Fei Xi covered the "little mouse's" mouth, hid in the closet, and held her breath.

While still in bed, Fei Xi heard the commotion outside the door and quickly pulled the visitor into a corner cabinet.

Outside the cabinet, the sounds of clashing weapons filled the air, and the lewd man's voice grew ever closer, making Fei Xi's heart pound.

Tonight is truly turbulent; there are men in black who want to get rid of her.

Now another scoundrel has appeared, and no matter which side wins, her fate doesn't seem too good.

Recalling the sounds she had just heard, and after careful consideration, Fei Xi realized with a start that she had heard more than one sound of sword energy.

Just as she was filled with doubt, a clear voice suddenly rang out from outside the cabinet, and her eyes lit up instantly.

"Breaking into a woman's boudoir in the dead of night, Lord Tao, you have no shame!"

"You little brat, how dare you lecture me? Are you all healed? If you're so incompetent, go home and drink your milk, don't come here and embarrass yourself!"

"hateful!"

"Junior brother, be careful!"

Inside the room, swords clashed and shadows flashed. Although the men in black didn't understand why these people were hindering their mission, they started fighting amongst themselves.

But he knew he was no match for the sleazy man in front of him. His target was gone, so if he didn't run now, when would he?

With a feint, the man in black jumped out of the fighting circle, preparing to leave the room and make his escape.

He had just leaped outside the door when he was met with a devastating palm strike.

In his final moments as his consciousness dissipated between heaven and earth, the man in black stared unhappily at a one-eyed old man walking toward him.

Hidden in the closet, Fei Xi was unaware of the outside situation and could only judge the battle situation by sound.

After several thuds of people falling to the ground, the outside suddenly became quiet, and Fei Xi couldn't tell who had won or lost.

"Princess, come out. The thieves have all been executed, and it is safe outside."

"Thank you so much, grandpa!"

Upon hearing the deep, weathered voice, Fei Xi pushed open half of the cabinet door, and a person emerged from inside.

Sure enough, it was Grandpa Luo outside the counter. His cold expression instantly transformed into one of spring blossoms. Fei Xi smiled sweetly and bowed to the old man.

Fei Xi's overly enthusiastic attitude clearly aroused Luo Dalun's suspicion. He was neither like Miao Shouyi, who would occasionally leave Tianshan to rescue people, nor like Li Renfeng, who had a illustrious reputation in the martial arts world.

He rarely travels the martial arts world, so no one in the martial arts world should know him.

The little girl in front of him had been staring at him the whole time, and now her smile was full of trust in him, as if the two had known each other for many years. It was really strange.

However, this feeling of being looked at with admiration and dependence by younger generations doesn't seem so bad.

The aloof Luo Dalun felt as if a spring breeze had swept through his heart, but he showed no emotion on his face. His expression remained unchanged as he nodded firmly and coldly, as if he were unmoved by Fei Xi's overtures.

When Fei Xi saw that Grandpa Luo had responded to her, she didn't mind his cold attitude at all; instead, her smile grew even brighter.

Turning her head, she bowed again to the two young men who were with Grandpa Luo:

"Young masters, thank you for your repeated assistance. I don't know how to address you, my benefactors. If there is anything I can do to help you, please feel free to ask."

Fei Xi naturally recognized the two as Chunyu You and Su Xuan, disciples of Elder Chunyu of the Tianshan Taixu Sect.

However, the old king had been so overjoyed by his son's safe return that he hadn't introduced her to anyone. She had left early and hadn't left the room all day, so naturally she had to pretend she didn't know them.

The sleazy man standing to the side, seeing Fei Xi thank everyone but ignore him, couldn't help but get so angry that his mustache stood on end.

"Young lady, these two spineless cowards aren't even as good as your attendants. What are you thanking me for? Your true benefactor is standing right in front of you..."

The lewd man walked up to Fei Xi, puffed out his chest, and with a crooked smile and squinted eyes, his expression became even more lewd.

"I don't need you to repay me. If you offer yourself to me, I will reluctantly marry you."

"I am Wei Jingtian of the Gaoshan tribe, and this is my junior brother Qian Zhendi."

As soon as the lewd man finished speaking, a slightly taller young man pulled his junior brother forward and blocked the lewd man for Fei Xi.

"Princess, you are of noble birth and the initiator of the grand gathering of the three religions. Even though we are in this remote island, we have heard of your esteemed reputation. In the book 'A Comprehensive Record of the Origins of the Three Religions,' the theories you put forward have truly broadened my horizons, and even my master has praised them highly. It is our good fortune to be able to help you defend against the sneak attack of the villains today, and there is no need for thanks. However, there are some parts of the book that I find somewhat perplexing. I wonder if there will be an opportunity to discuss them with you in the future?"

"Indeed, Princess, there's no need to pay attention to shameless scoundrels taking advantage of the situation..."

A flash of cold light, a thunderous sword strike, with overwhelming momentum, like surging clouds and overturned rivers, rushed straight towards Luo Dalun and his two companions.

Su Xuan, lacking practical experience, was instantly stunned by the monstrous sword strike, his heart pounding with fear. Chunyu You, who had only spoken half a sentence and hadn't yet reacted, was even more terrified and dared not move.

Luo Dalun not only had to catch the attack with all his might, but also had to take care of the two younger generation members who were standing still and had even forgotten to dodge.

The palm strike was as firm as a mountain, remaining unmoved despite the pounding waves.

As the two unparalleled techniques clashed, the atmosphere inside the house instantly changed, and the house collapsed with a roar amidst the intense collision of internal energies.

When the storm subsided, Fei Xi and the lewd man were nowhere to be seen in the courtyard.

At this moment, the old king and the middle-aged fat man seemed to have only just heard the commotion and hurriedly rushed into the courtyard.

Seeing the houses in the courtyard reduced to ruins, the fat man with a bright red handprint on his face exclaimed in surprise:

"Oh dear, what's going on?"

Behind him, unnoticed by anyone, a maid with a stiff face quietly appeared, her eyes cold and unfriendly as she scanned everyone present.
