The door creaked open and Su Ruhan looked towards the door. Third Prince's figure looked elegant and refined in the moonlight. His hands were on the doorknob, but he made no move to enter.

As if nothing had happened, Su Ruhan struggled to get off the bed, and his knees gave out. He kowtowed towards Third Prince respectfully: "Greetings, Third Prince!"

Third Prince stepped into Su Ruhan's room after hearing this. Since Su Ruhan was demoted, he had been transferred from an upper-class room to such a low, earthy room. The once high-spirited youth had also become haggard, but his eyes were still as determined as ever.

Third Prince walked to Su Ruhan's bed and gently helped him into it. Su Ruhan was obviously surprised by Third Prince's abnormal action. Third Prince's facial expression had never been so gentle. Su Ruhan could not even tell whether Third Prince was happy or sad.

"Why are you letting Ning Yue go?" Third Prince asked lightly.

Su Ruhan smiled. He should have known that Third Prince didn't come here to take care of him. Sure enough, he was only here to denounce them.

Su Ruhan also calmly replied: "Ning Yue Ben is innocent, he should be released."

"So which one of the men you killed is guilty?" Third Prince asked.

Indeed, the number of people killed by Su Ruhan's sword could not be counted. All they had was a short moment of distraction before they were killed in one strike. Ning Yue had offended Third Prince and charged into the Qin Yi Courtyard without permission.

However, Su Ruhan didn't expect Third Prince to argue with him in such a funny way. He thought that after he said a reason to stall Third Prince, Third Prince would directly stretch out his Demon Claw and throw him into the abyss of pain, then torture him to death.

Seeing Third Prince's serious expression, Su Ruhan could only tell him the truth, "Ning Yue was the servant of the Mu Estate. One more member of the Mu Estate died, and Grand Preceptor Mu's death will mean one less clue."

"Why are you so sure that Grand Preceptor Mu wasn't killed by Mu Xueshi?"

Su Ruhan laughed involuntarily and said boldly, "I heard it from Third Prince."

Third Prince looked at Su Ruhan with a smile that was not a smile. He even placed his hand on Su Ruhan's hair, making an intimate gesture.

"Is she beautiful?" Third Prince asked.

Su Ruhan knew who Third Prince was talking about, so he replied honestly, "No one in this world can compare to him."

"Oh?" Third Prince seemed to be in the mood to talk about Mu Xueshi, so he continued asking, "So you risked your life just to get him out of the situation?"

Su Ruhan nodded and looked at Third Prince indifferently.

The expression on Third Prince's face became colder and colder, causing the temperature of the surrounding air to plummet. The muscles on his face tightened from relaxing to slowly tightening. No matter who it was, they would all feel a chill run down their spines.

Su Ruhan waited for the following storm, but Third Prince turned around with an expressionless face and threw a small bottle to Su Ruhan. Inside the bottle was a good medicine to cure the bone injury. Although Third Prince knew Su Ruhan didn't completely lose his martial arts, he still didn't completely cripple him.

Looking at the medicine bottle in his hand, Su Ruhan had no idea what he was feeling. After a long period of training, he was used to thinking about Third Prince's real intentions, but he never used the most intuitive way of thinking to understand these behaviors.
