The female anchor turned into the dean of an ancient academy

Chapter 175 Sister Cen Xiao holds the princess

"Jue Ling, try this. This is a candied cake with some black sesame seeds sprinkled on top. And there's also this honey cream cake. The most difficult part of making this is the cream. It's all made by hand, and I basically have to beat it for half an hour, otherwise there won't be enough cream. Oh, and there's this one too. It's called tiger skin cake, but it's not real tiger skin. It just looks like tiger skin. I put peach jam in it. Jue Ling, try it quickly and see if it suits your taste."

Princess Jue Ling picked up a piece of cake and put it in her mouth. At that moment, all her worries seemed to melt away in the sweetness, and her mood became extremely relaxed and happy, just like the surprise and satisfaction she felt when she first tasted ice cream in her childhood.

"Jie Xiao, did you really make this? How can there be such delicious snacks? This is the first time I've eaten such unique snacks since I was a child!"

"As long as you like it. Jue Ling, if you don't mind, you are my unique cake taster. I just want to share the initial sweetness with you. Because, it takes great courage to abandon those slanderous words and believe what you see with your own eyes, and you... did it. Jue Ling, I hope your future will be sweet." Cen Jiexiao said with a slightly aggressive smile.

Faced with Cen Jiexiao's actions, the usually strong Princess Jue Ling became as gentle as a kitten. She slowly retreated to show her retreat.

"Um, yes... By the way, Sister Xiao, I heard you were injured while patrolling Linkang Prefecture a while ago. How are you now? Are you healed?" Princess Jue Ling's cheeks flushed, like a ripe apple, her beauty dripping with sensuality. She didn't understand what was happening to her. Her heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably, as if bewitched by Sister Xiao Cen's sincere gaze. Her usual composure and dignity vanished in this moment.

"It's okay. I've recovered well now. I have enough strength now, so I can easily carry the princess for a walk in the garden." Cen Jiexiao also said with a smile, with a hint of teasing and temptation in her tone.

"Sister Xiao, stop kidding. Why are you hugging me?" Princess Jue Ling said coquettishly, a hint of panic in her tone. "Hey... hey... put me down."

Cen Jiexiao ignored Princess Jue Ling's protests and took advantage of her inattention to quickly pick her up by the waist in a standard princess hug.

"Jue Ling, how am I recovering? I didn't lie to you, did I?" Cen Jiexiao held the beautiful Princess Jue Ling in his arms, feeling the warmth and softness of her body, and a strange sense of satisfaction welled up in his heart. He had originally just wanted to tease her, but he didn't expect Princess Jue Ling to resist at all. Instead, she instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck and gently rested her head on his shoulder.

As their eyes met, time seemed to stand still. Cen Jiexiao stared at Jue Ling intently, her deep gaze filled with tenderness and affection. Jue Ling, on the other hand, looked at Cen Jiexiao with a complex expression: surprise, shyness, and a hint of sweetness that she herself was unaware of. The two of them said nothing, yet their words were worth more than a thousand, as if they were connected, needing no words.

At that moment, a pair of birds flew over their heads, their clear chirping shattering the tranquil atmosphere and bringing the two back to their senses. Sister Cen Xiao gently put the bewildered Princess Jue Ling down, a doting smile on her lips.

Just when Princess Jue Ling wanted to say something, Cen Jiexiao suddenly felt a fierce murderous aura coming at him. Alarm bells rang in his heart, and without thinking, he threw Princess Jue Ling to the ground.

Almost at the same time, a sharp arrow flew over their heads with a sound of breaking through the air, and with a "whoosh", it nailed into the pillar of the pavilion, and the tail of the arrow was still trembling slightly.

"Ah!" Princess Jue Ling was so frightened that her face turned pale and she screamed, her face as pale as paper.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Sister Cen Xiao protected Princess Jue Ling tightly, raised her head and looked in the direction where the sharp arrow came from, her eyes as sharp as a knife.

They saw a man in black, holding a bow and arrow, standing behind a rockery not far away, looking at them coldly, as if the god of death had come.

"Who are you? Why are you attacking us?" Cen Jiexiao asked sternly, her tone full of anger and vigilance.

The man in black didn't say anything, but just sneered, drew his bow and arrow again, and aimed at Cen Jiexiao with murderous intent.

"Looking for death!" A cold light flashed in Cen Jiexiao's eyes. She pulled out a dagger from her waist and rushed towards the man in black!

Cen Jiexiao's eyes flashed, and she grabbed the dagger with her backhand, stabbing the man in black without hesitation. However, the man in black seemed to have anticipated this, dodging to the side and avoiding Cen Jiexiao's attack. The two of them fought back and forth in the pavilion. Cen Jiexiao's dagger was as ruthless as a venomous snake, while the man in black was agile and always managed to escape danger.

"Jue Ling, are you okay?" Sister Cen Xiao couldn't help but ask with concern while dealing with the man in black.

Princess Jue Ling had recovered from her shock by now. She hid in the corner of the pavilion, watching the thrilling fight in front of her, her heart in her throat. When she heard Sister Cen Xiao's question, she quickly responded, "I'm fine, be careful!"

Sister Cen Xiao nodded slightly, her eyes becoming more fierce. She knew that today's assassination was no accident. The other party came prepared and their target was her, and Princess Jue Ling was just implicated by her.

"Who sent you?" Sister Cen Xiao tried to find out the origins of the man in black while attacking.

The man in black said nothing, but just sneered and attacked more fiercely.

Seeing that she couldn't get any more information out of him, Sister Cen Xiao stopped talking and focused on dealing with the attack from the men in black. She knew that if she wanted to survive, she had to fight quickly, otherwise, by the time reinforcements arrived, she would be trapped.

Thinking of this, Sister Cen Xiao no longer held back her strength and used all her skills, her moves becoming more fierce and brutal. However, after all, she had not been trained in dagger assassination for a long time, and she gradually fell into a disadvantage in the battle with the man in black, and was on the verge of defeat.

At this moment, Sister Cen Xiao suddenly made a feint, turned around and ran out of the pavilion. Seeing this, the man in black thought she wanted to escape, so he chased after her.

The two men ran out of the inn's back garden, one in front and one behind, and came to the backyard of the inn. It was relatively secluded here and the patrolling guards had been attracted elsewhere.

Sister Cen Xiao deliberately slowed down her pace. Seeing that the man in black was about to catch up, Sister Cen Xiao suddenly stopped, turned around to face the man in black, and a sly smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Have you chased enough?" Sister Cen Xiao asked lightly, with a hint of teasing in her tone.

The man in black was stunned at first, then he reacted. He looked around vigilantly, but found that there was no ambush around.

"Teacher, is it safe here? We won't be discovered, right?" the man in black asked in a deep voice, his tone full of vigilance.

"It's very safe here, don't worry. The guards have been lured away by your big movements." Sister Cen Xiao said with a smile, her tone relaxed and casual.

The man in black laughed and said, "Teacher, it seems that our performance in this scene should be quite good."

"Really? That may not be the case." Sister Cen Xiao smiled teasingly, but her eyes were full of confidence.

The two looked at each other, but Sister Cen Xiao asked the man in black with concern, "How is it? Did you not get discovered?"

The man in black was stunned at first, but then he reacted, lowered his voice, and replied with a smile, "Teacher, don't worry. When it comes to His Majesty's Black Armor Guards, we may be a little afraid, but as for the guards around the princess, I am confident that I can handle them."

As the man in black spoke, he reached out and took off the mask on his face, revealing a young and handsome face. It was none other than Cen Jiexiao's beloved disciple - Lu Qingyun!
