The two exchanged glances before walking up to those black-clothed people, who were hissing and howling continuously, with apathetic gazes.
With a wave of her fingers, Qiao Mu pulled out a blue talisman, flicking it at a person on the ground.
After a bright blue light flashed, that person jolted abruptly before suddenly turning silent.
“Who ordered this assassination?” Qiao Mu interrogated in a chilly voice.
The assassin rolled about on the ground once before opening his mouth and saying, “Second…”
Suddenly, Qiao Mu felt her body lighten, while Mo Lian reacted swiftly and flung out a ball of fire that encapsulated the assassin’s whole body. At the same time, he swiftly retreated backwards while carrying his Qiaoqiao.
“Boom!” The assassin just self-detonated without warning within the ring of fire that Mo Lian had laid down!
What was going on? Qiao Mu’s eyes widened abruptly, and she turned to look at the solemn-looking Mo Lian, whose body was still tense.
As Mo Lian carried the little lady, he subconsciously patted her back gently and murmured, “Everything’s alright.”
Qiao Mu was befuddled. “Why would my dictum talisman make him self-detonate?”
Just like the diamond talisman and invisibility talisman, this dictum talisman was introduced in the Golden Talisman Jade Tome’s fourth jade slip. Its effect was a bit peculiar though.
After activating the dictum talisman, it could make everyone with a lower cultivation than hers honestly speak the truth.
That was why she had thrown out that dictum talisman just earlier: to inquire about the assassin’s identity. However, she didn’t anticipate that the person would self-detonate all of a sudden!
“It has nothing to do with your talisman.” Mo Lian hugged the little lady tightly and stroked her back to placate her. “Someone had probably extracted a thread of his soul, as well as given him a psychological suggestion. As long as he attempts to expose the mastermind, that person can immediately sense it and force him to self-detonate.”
“So what did he mean by ‘second’ just now?”
Qiao Mu was confident in her hearing, so she knew that she didn’t mistake the word that the black-clothed person had uttered just now.

Curling his lips, Mo Lian leaned in and whispered into her ear.
At this time, He Tian and his group, who had been alarmed by the sound of the huge explosion, had hurriedly retraced their steps.
When He Tian saw that their two masters were unscathed, he let out a sigh of relief. Yet on the inside, he was cursing these assassin’s last 18 generations of ancestors.
They just had to come and stir up trouble! Couldn’t they stop for a while?
The king, queen, and the royal concubines in the harem quickly found out that the crown prince had been ambushed at Huabei Gate, and they all sent people over to express their commiserations.
The king and the queen even summoned the crown prince that very night to ask him about the incident.
Naturally, our dear Qiao Mu didn’t join in on this fun. After Mo Lian first sent her back to the Eastern Palace, she washed up before climbing onto the bed.
And at this time, after the king and the queen summoned the crown prince to the main hall, they observed him meticulously before finally asking, “Who assassinated you? Do you know?”
“This servant was incompetent in his protection. Will the king please mete out punishment.” He Tian stepped forward and kneeled to beg for pardon.
“He Tian did not fail in his duty. It was also this son’s fault for being careless.” The crown prince stated faintly.
The queen glared at her son resentfully before turning to question He Tian. “Have you investigated the assassins’ origin?”
He Tian hesitated to speak.
The king demanded, “What are you doing by hesitating to speak? Spit it out!”
“Please pardon this servant, Your Majesties the King and the Queen. This servant found this from the assassins’ bodies, but this servant doesn’t dare to speak recklessly…” He Tian presented a jade pendant in the shape of a half-moon with both hands.
The king snatched over the jade pendant that he presented before suddenly flying into a rage. “Someone! Go and request for Noble Consort Lin and the third prince’s attendance!”
Meanwhile, Mo Lian had on a leisurely expression.
When Queen Zhao saw this, her anger flared up again, and she pulled her son over while saying, “Royal Mother has already heard! Today’s incident happened because you accompanied that lass from the Qiao Family back to her home.”
