Upon hearing her command, sure enough, the shadows no longer suppressed their power.
Their aura burst forth, revealing each one to be masters of the Third Order and Fourth Order.
In an instant, knives and swords flashed, and in just a few monts, almost all the guards in the villa were beheaded.
Seeing this, Princess Xi pointed at a few people, quickly instructing, "Ah-Da, Ah-Er, you bring five people and follow ."
"Everyone else, imdiately spread out to clean up the battlefield."
After speaking, she tossed the fruit knife in her hand and walked toward the villa courtyard.
The two people she nad quickly pointed at a few others and followed her outside.
As she stepped over the villa threshold, Princess Xi paused, then instructed without turning her head, "Take off the night clothes."
"If you're not wearing anything underneath, just bare your upper body."
"Yes." The others complied.
Perhaps because the battle in the villa was too loud.
A few seconds later, "knock knock knock," ca the sound of a knock on the villa door.
A woman in a maid's uniform walked to the front of the villa and opened the door, asking, "Is there anything wrong?"
Seeing the maid open the door, the patrolling guards peered inside suspiciously and then asked, "Hello, is there anything unusual?"
"Is the Princess all right?"
Upon hearing the patrolling guard's words, the maid looked at him oddly and then said, "What could possibly be unusual?"
But before she could finish speaking, Princess Xi's voice ca from the villa courtyard, "Little Rabbit, what's happening?"
The maid responded, deliberately stepping aside and shouting into the courtyard, "Nothing, Princess, just the Eighth Sanctuary guards."
"They seed to have heard us sorting things, so they ca to ask."
Hearing the maid's words, seeing her step aside, the guards calmly took a few steps forward, tilting their heads to glance at the scene in the villa courtyard.
There, they saw a few muscular n with bare upper bodies, struggling to carry and organize boxes.
Princess Xi sat quietly on a lounge chair in the courtyard, calmly reading a book.
Seeing Princess Xi safe and sound, the leading guard sighed in relief, then greeted her, "Princess Xi."
After greeting, he added, "You're still up so late?"
Princess Xi glanced at him lightly, then responded with a faint "hmm," and said, "I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night and rembered I hadn't checked the gifts for Old Rao and Elder Tang."
"So before leaving, I wanted to check one more ti."
Upon hearing Princess Xi's words, the leading guard quickly responded and then exited the courtyard.
Outside the door, he shook his head at his team, "It's nothing. A misunderstanding. Let's go."
He then led the team to continue their patrol.
After the guards of the Eighth Sanctuary left, the maid visibly relaxed. She closed the door, quickly walked to Princess Xi's side, and whispered, "Princess."
Princess Xi responded with a faint "hmm," then said, "It's nothing. It's all over."
"As long as it wasn't exposed imdiately, this is a dostic affair within our Sixth Sanctuary."
"Even if the Eighth Sanctuary detects sothing, they won't interfere."
"As for Kou Yu....."
"I hadn't expected him to confront directly and didn't prepare earlier."
"Now with six Fourth Order and one Fifth Order mbers in the Eighth Sanctuary territory, he won't dare to act."
After speaking, Princess Xi stood up, "Alright, clean up the bloodstains and corpses from the villa, you should either take night watch or go rest."
"We'll discuss everything after eting with Kou Yu tomorrow."
"Yes, Princess." The maid responded, quickly beginning to organize....
Just then.
Suddenly, the sound of running footsteps was heard outside, steady and unified, clearly an elite troop.
The next mont, Kou Yu's slightly mocking voice echoed above the villa, "Princess, Princess, it seems... my brother predicted you once again."
