Xie Jingchen frowned, thinking he had been exposed.
Sounds of fighting came from the other side—
Xie Jingchen then realized that not only he had come in, but someone else had too, and was discovered.
Originally, he didn't want to intervene to avoid exposing himself, but he happened to recognize Dong Chenglang.
Even though his face was covered, his figure and the brocade robe he wore were identical to those during the day.
He could turn a blind eye to others, but he couldn't ignore Dong Chenglang.
Even if just for Zhao Xu's sake, he had to save him.
Dong Chenglang was fighting while escaping from the other courtyard. Once he was a bit farther away, Xie Jingchen stepped in to help him.
The Hidden Guards were skilled in martial arts, but Xie Jingchen was even more skilled.
However, there were many Hidden Guards, and they had to move quickly; otherwise, more people would come upon hearing the commotion, making it difficult to escape.
