Surprisingly, the burly man seemed to completely ignore Teng Zijing's attack, as if he hadn't seen him at all, and continued walking straight toward Fan Xian.

Upon seeing this, Teng Zijing was secretly delighted.

Keep in mind that he possesses the strength of a sixth-rank expert. If this punch were to hit its target, even an eighth-rank expert would be severely injured.

With a muffled thud, Teng Zijing's fist landed solidly on the burly man's chest.

Strangely, the burly man was not affected in the slightest, and did not even stop walking forward.

On the contrary, Teng Zijing felt a sharp pain in his fist.

Teng Zijing was horrified and couldn't help but exclaim:

"A master of external martial arts!"

At the same time, the burly man frowned slightly when he saw Teng Zijing blocking his way. He raised his hand and swung it sharply at Teng Zijing.

A sharp palm strike whistled past and landed heavily on Teng Zijing.

Teng Zijing was sent flying backwards like a kite with a broken string, spitting out blood and leaving streaks of blood in the air.

Finally, he slammed heavily against the wall, which brought him to a stop.

With just such a simple palm strike, Teng Zijing was seriously injured.

At this moment, Fan Xian finally came to his senses, his eyes became extremely sharp, and his domineering true energy in his body began to circulate wildly. Then, without hesitation, he attacked the burly man.

However, the burly man was not afraid of the sudden attack. He raised the corners of his mouth slightly and revealed a disdainful smile. Then he raised his palm and swung it out.

A powerful palm strike whistled out and collided fiercely with Fan Xian's domineering true energy.

With a loud bang, Fan Xian was unable to withstand the strong man's attack. He was sent flying like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground. He spat out a mouthful of blood and was seriously injured.

Seeing Fan Xian injured, Teng Zijing was extremely anxious. Despite his own injuries, he shouted loudly:

"Fan Xian, run! Don't worry about me!"

After saying that, Teng Zijing used all his strength to rush towards the burly man.

At the same time, Li Tian had arrived on a rooftop not far from the battlefield. He stood quietly, coldly watching everything below.

Watching Teng Zijing charge towards the burly man with a death-defying spirit, Li Tian couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, "What a pity."

As Li Tian expected, Teng Zijing had just rushed in front of the burly man and hadn't even had a chance to launch an attack when the burly man kicked him in the chest.

With a muffled thud, Teng Zijing was sent flying like a cannonball, crashing heavily into the distant city wall.

With a chilling sound of bones cracking, Teng Zijing's ribs and sternum broke, and sharp bone fragments pierced deep into his heart.

Less than two breaths later, Teng Zijing stopped breathing and died completely.

Upon seeing this, Fan Xian's eyes widened instantly, tears streaming down his face as he cried out in anguish, "Ah! Teng Zijing!"

At this moment, Li Tian knew his time to act had come, so he flashed and instantly appeared beside Fan Xian, feigning concern as he asked:

"Young Master Fan, what happened?"

Upon seeing the newcomer dressed in eunuch's robes, Fan Xian felt immediately reassured; this was clearly one of their own. He quickly said:

"Sir, I have been assassinated..."

Before he could finish speaking, Fan Xian could no longer hold on, his vision went black, and he collapsed to the ground.

Li Tian frowned slightly as he looked at the unconscious Fan Xian. He knew that time was of the essence and there could be no delay.

He flashed forward, using his half-step ninth-rank strength to quickly appear above the burly man's head, and unhesitatingly swung his palm out.

With a crisp "smack," the burly man's head exploded instantly, like a smashed watermelon, splattering blood and brain matter everywhere.

After Li Tian slapped the burly man's head, his body flashed back to Fan Xian's side like a ghost, thus avoiding being splashed by the burly man's exploding brain matter.

Just then, Zhu Ge from the Control Yuan led a group of Control Yuan personnel to the scene.

They immediately spotted Fan Xian lying on the ground and then saw Li Tian standing next to him.

As for Li Tianzhu, who was dressed as a eunuch, Zhu Ge knew that he was a bodyguard of the Second Prince and also the steward of the Prince of Qin's mansion.

Then, ignoring Li Tian's figure, he noticed the burly man who had been smashed into a pulp, and couldn't help but feel disgusted.

Zhu Ge, suppressing his discomfort, quickly walked to Li Tian's side and asked:

"Steward Li, what exactly happened here?"

Seeing that Zhu Ge recognized him, Li Tian explained the situation directly:

“I don’t know the specifics either. I’m on His Highness’s orders to go back to the manor to get some silver to redeem Miss Silili from her servitude.”

On the way back, I suddenly heard the sounds of fighting coming from here, so I rushed over to see what was going on.

When I arrived here, I saw that Young Master Fan was already seriously injured.

Then, Young Master Fan told me that he had been assassinated.

After saying these words, he seemed to faint due to the severity of his injuries.

Finally, I took action and killed the assassin.

"Since you're here, I'll take my leave now. His Highness is still waiting for me at Zuixianju!"

After hearing Li Tian's explanation, Zhu Ge couldn't help but feel a little doubt and speculation, but he didn't show it on the surface, and simply responded:

"Take care, Steward Li."

After Li Tian left, Zhu Ge then ordered his subordinates from the Supervisory Bureau to begin cleaning up the scene.

As for Fan Xian, Zhu Ge considered it for a while and finally decided to send someone to escort him back to the Fan residence.

Time passed, and Li Tian returned to Zuixianju once again.

At this moment, Li Chengtian was watching Si Lili dance. Si Lili's dance was light and graceful, like a butterfly fluttering in the air, which was intoxicating.

Chapter 28 Li Chengtian Begins to Lay Plans for Lin Xiang

Knock knock knock!

There was a knock on Si Lili's door.

Li Chengtian knew it must be Li Tian who had returned, so he said:

"Come in."

After receiving Li Chengtian's approval, Li Tian pushed open the door, came to Li Chengtian, and said:

"Master, Young Master Fan is seriously injured, and the guard is dead. As for the assassin, I killed him on the spot."

After hearing Li Tian's report, Li Chengtian smiled and said:

"Well done, you can go now!" After Li Tian left, Li Chengtian stood by the window with his hands behind his back, admiring the beautiful scenery outside.

He thought to himself:

"Now, just like in the original story, Teng Zijing has sacrificed himself to save Fan Xian."

Given Fan Xian's personality, he will definitely avenge Teng Zijing.

When Fan Xian finds the clues I specially arranged, he will inevitably discover that the enemy who killed Teng Zijing is Lin Gong.

At that time, Fan Xian will definitely look for an opportunity to kill Lin Gong.

Even if Fan Xian doesn't have a chance to make a move, Wu Zhu will definitely not let this opportunity pass.

"Once Lin Gong is dead, it will be the perfect opportunity for us to win over Prime Minister Lin!"

Thinking of this, Li Chengtian's lips curled up slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile.

He turned around and gently waved to Si Lili.

Upon seeing this, Si Lili immediately stopped her graceful dance and walked slowly to Li Chengtian with light steps.

A hint of doubt appeared in her eyes.

Li Chengtian reached out and touched Si Lili's cheek, saying:

"You've helped me out this time. Is there anything you want? Just let me know."

Upon hearing Li Chengtian's words, Si Lili hesitated for a moment before saying:

"Can you rescue my younger brother in Northern Qi?"

Li Chengtian nodded after hearing Si Lili's words and said:

“I can save him, but not now. Once I’m done with this busy period, I’ll send someone to rescue your brother who is being held captive by the Northern Qi Imperial Guard.”

Si Lili never expected that Li Chengtian knew that her younger brother was imprisoned by the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and once again witnessed how terrifying Li Chengtian was.

Just as Si Lili was feeling terrified.

Li Chengtian slowly turned around to look at Si Lili, and said in an unquestionable tone:

"Pack your things right now, and then come with me to see my third brother. After you've seen him, come back to the palace with me."

After listening, Si Lili did not hesitate for long, but simply nodded slightly to indicate her agreement.

She turned and walked to the wardrobe, selected some accessories, quickly tidied her clothes, and then returned to Li Chengtian's side, saying softly:
