The baby crawled extremely fast as he went all the way to the Western Courtyard.
Seeing this, Bian Zhonghua said softly: “How could he be in the Western Courtyard? It’ll be troublesome to disturb the fake Prince’s rest.”

Qi Ci asked: “What are you planning to do? Aren’t there many Secret Servants in the Western Courtyard? Wouldn’t they be able to see the baby?”

Before Bian Zhonghua could answer, the baby suddenly stopped and babbled.

After a pause, Bian Zhonghua scolded in a deep voice: “Come out.”

At that moment, a Secret Servant swept out of the night sky and knelt in front of Bian Zhonghua with his fists clasped together: “Lord Bian! Why are you here? Nothing is out of the ordinary here!”

The baby suddenly began to cry out loud, with a sharp voice that expressed his sadness, making Qi Ci’s ears buzz.

However, as if the Secret Servant couldn’t see nor hear the baby, he kept kneeling for a while, as he asked suspiciously: “Lord Bian, there seems to be a ghostly qi around you.”

Bian Zhonghua said: “I know, don’t worry about it.”

As soon as he said those words, the baby’s body gradually became transparent, until finally, it turned into a silver light that slowly dissipated in the air.

“Stand back.” Bian Zhonghua said.

At that, the Secret Servant moved, and Bian Zhonghua’s voice suddenly raised: “Not you.”

The Secret Servant was stunned, as he had to kneel again.

Bian Zhonghua then inclined his head towards Qi Ci and said: “Stand aside.”

Qi Ci’s heart thumped as he suddenly thought of something.
As he looked at the Secret Servant, he asked in a low voice: “Could he be the one who raped that girl? What are you going to do?”

Bian Zhonghua’s words were terrifying: “I’ll beat him up.”

Qi Ci blinked, clenched his fists, and said through his gritted teeth: “Give him more than one punch!”

Bian Zhonghua laughed out loud as he nodded his head.

Qi Ci and Bian Zhonghua exchanged a glance.
Then Qi Ci stepped back, no longer staying in the way.

When Bian Zhonghua looked at the Secret Servant again, there was no longer a smile on his face.
As the fierce anger in his eyes took the shape of a sharp arrow, hidden deep inside the ice in his eyes, he said: “Stand up and unsheathe your sword.”

The Secret Servant didn’t understand what was going on, but he felt uneasy.
As he clasped his fists and bowed his head, he said: “Lord Bian, I….”

“I’ll give you three seconds.
Three….”

“My lord! What has this subordinate done wrong? You have to….”

“Two.”

“You have to tell this subordinate first.
Why do you want to attack this subordinate all of a sudden?”

“One.”

The moment he said that word, a silver cold blade flew out of Bian Zhonghua’s sleeve.
Then, Bian Zhonghua stretched out his hand to hold the dagger in front of the Secret Servant.

The Secret Servant was taken aback, hurriedly unsheathed his sword in a panic, and tried his best to block the blow.
Then he shouted loudly, seemingly trying to persuade Bian Zhonghua, but in reality, he was trying to attract the attention of other people in the Western Courtyard: “Lord Bian! State Master Li will severely punish you if you fight with another member of the Secret Servant Sect!!!”

As he spoke, Bian Zhonghua’s left shoulder glowed red.
This extremely bright light was revealed through his clothes, showing a lifelike dragon pattern with a big open mouth. 

Qi Ci was so shocked that he took a step forward, vaguely remembering that the last time in the brothel, when Bian Zhonghua fought with that rat spirit, his left shoulder also shone like this.
Because of this, Lord Qian could recognize Bian Zhonghua as a Demon Slayer.

The Secret Servant was already flustered, but when he saw the dragon on Bian Zhonghua’s left shoulder, the joy he felt couldn’t be disguised on his face: “Stop! State Master Li already knows! Quick, stop this!!”

Bian Zhonghua instantly laughed out loud.

That smile wasn’t warm nor gentle, it was mocking him.
With the most sincere intention of provocation and disgust, the sharp arrow hidden in the depths of his eyes finally broke through the ice the moment Bian Zhonghua laughed.

The Secret Servant’s face turned pale the moment he heard that laugh.

Right the next second, Bian Zhonghua swung his silver dagger for the second time.
The speed was extremely fast, so much that onlookers couldn’t see the dagger at all! This time, the Secret Servant was no longer able to dodge.
When the light and shadow crisscrossed, his lower abdomen was cut open.

At that, the Secret Servant fell to the ground, covering the wound on his abdomen, and moving back like crazy.
Alongside the blood spilling out the wound, some organs overflowed as well.
As the Secret Servant shouted in fear, even the tone of his voice changed.

“Does it hurt?” Bian Zhonghua played with his dagger as he stepped on the bloodstains left on the ground when the Secret Servant moved back.
As he followed the Secret Servant, step by step, he said with a sinister smile: “I guess that girl felt this exact same pain when she swallowed incense ash to abort her child.”

The Secret Servant suddenly understood.
As his voice became sharp and harsh because of the panic he felt, he said: “Bian Zhonghua! You’re not qualified to kill me! You can’t kill me! I don’t deserve to die! I don’t deserve to die!!!”

After making so much noise, attracting the attention of many people, several maids and servants saw this scene from afar.
They were so scared that they screamed out loud, making the Secret Servants patrolling nearby rush there.
When they saw the scene in front of them, they were so shocked that they couldn’t say anything for a while.

Bian Zhonghua ignored the surrounding noise as he looked leisurely at the Secret Servant on the ground.
The silver dagger flipped over at his fingertips.

“Lord Bian!” Another Secret Servant reacted and shouted: “You can’t! You’ll be severely punished!”

The Secret Servant, who was still on the ground, was trying to wash out his sins: “She’s just a lowly servant! I didn’t kill her! I am a Secret Servant! Bian Zhonghua! I’ve killed demons and got rid of evil spirits!”

Bian Zhonghua didn’t listen to him.
At that moment, the silver dagger flew out from his fingertips, piercing through the Secret Servant’s chest.
The Secret Servant didn’t even have a chance to shout, when his eyes stared blankly, and he became a corpse.

For a moment, it seemed like the world had become silent.

Qi Ci was frozen in place, and his head was blank.
He didn’t expect that Bian Zhonghua would actually kill him.

At that moment, Qi Ci suddenly remembered that Qin Yicang had described Bian Zhonghua as: ‘He, ah, has a clear distinction between what he likes and what he hates.
Even though he can be quite amusing when he’s kind, he can also be quite ruthless when he’s angry.’

At that time, Qi Ci didn’t understand.
What did he mean by being ‘ruthless when he’s angry’? What did he mean by having a ‘clear distinction between what he likes and hates’?

Bian Zhonghua had always been considerate and modest to him.
Smiling to him, as warm as the Spring in March.

Now, without a need to argue, and without hesitation, Bian Zhonghua pierced the Secret Servant on his chest with the silver dagger, making Qi Ci feel strange.

After the shock, Qi Ci suddenly felt an uncontrollable burst of joy.
It was so inappropriate that even Qi Ci felt puzzled for a moment.
But he soon figured out what he was so happy about.

He was happy because he discovered another side of Bian Zhonghua.
Not from the mouth of others, but because he saw it with his own eyes.
Everything about Bian Zhonghua no longer seemed as distant as before, turning the vague and unknowable things about him to become a bit more clear.

After it was done, the dragon on Bian Zhonghua’s left shoulder not only didn’t stop glowing, but the light became even more scarlet.
As he bent down to pull out the small dagger from the chest of the Secret Servant, Bian Zhonghua finally turned around.

Qi Ci watched as Bian Zhonghua walked towards him.

There wasn’t any dust flying by the sky, and the bright moon looked lonely.
As Bian Zhonghua walked, with his hands stained with blood, his eyes were downcast, and his black clothes were flying in the air.
He passed through the crowd and stepped under the spring cold night and wet grass.
Step by step, he walked towards Qi Ci.

Then, he stopped one meter away from Qi Ci.

Bian Zhonghua hid his blood-stained hands behind his back and smiled: “Go back now, otherwise, you’ll get in trouble.
After so much noise, the Prince will certainly come here.
In case he sees you, I worry-….”

Bian Zhonghua suddenly stopped talking.

Qi Ci took a few steps forwards, grabbed Bian Zhonghua’s wrist and pulled his hand out.
Then he carefully wiped the blood from Bian Zhonghua’s hand with his own sleeve.
However, wiping Bian Zhonghua’s hands wasn’t enough, so Qi Ci also took the silver dagger from his hand and wiped all the blood from its blade.
Then he carefully put it back into Bian Zhonghua’s palm.

“You….” Bian Zhonghua’s eyes flickered, filled with immense surprise.
He whispered the word ‘you’, but then he didn’t know what else to say, so he paused in a panic, looking immediately away.

Bian Zhonghua weighed his words, but a sudden pain surged from his left shoulder, interrupting his thoughts.

Bian Zhonghua’s left shoulder generated a burning scarlet light.
As he groaned in pain, he frowned tightly and knelt on the ground.
Then the red light overflowed from his left shoulder, turning into a rope and binding Bian Zhonghua, making him unable to move.
