Chapter 521: Heart-breaking

The sudden movement interrupted the couple's intimacy.

Mu Qing hurriedly picked up the sword beside the bed and opened the door, while Hu Xiner put on her clothes and followed him.

The moon in the yard was as cool as water, and the shadows of the trees were reflected on the ground in the courtyard, swaying deeply and shallowly.

Lu Yunjue was fighting with someone by the wall.

When the couple arrived in the yard, the fight was over. He picked up the person in his hand and threw him directly to the ground.

"Ouch!" the man complained dissatisfiedly, "Isn't it just a visit to your house? Why are you so angry?"

Lu Yunjue looked at her coldly without saying a word.

Hu Xiner felt that the voice looked familiar, so she walked forward and saw that the person on the ground was wearing a high-quality black nightgown with his hood loose, revealing his hair bun.

The intertwined long braids and loose hair hung down to the side of her face, and her lively eyes hinted at a hint of coquettishness and resentment. Who else could it be but Miss Du?

"I wonder why Miss Du came to visit me so late at night?" Hu Xiner asked in confusion.

Miss Du made no secret of her purpose: "I haven't seen your two handsome men for a while, so I came over to see them."

"You!" Lu Yunjue's eyes were filled with anger. This woman had just teased him with words, and now she was captured in the middle of the yard and was still talking nonsense.

His chest was rising and falling rapidly, and he was obviously very angry. "Sister-in-law, don't listen to her nonsense. This person is clearly the thief who came to our house to steal!"

Miss Du looked a bit embarrassed. "Mr. Lu, I know you might not be happy to see me, but with your wealth... I'm afraid I'm not qualified to be a thief, am I?"

She said, looking around.

She had obviously been acupunctured, so she felt weak all over and could only sit on the ground with difficulty. However, even though Lu Yunjue was looking at her with a knife-like gaze, she was not afraid at all. She felt as relaxed as if she had returned home.

Because of the mask-unveiling incident, the Lu family members didn't have a good impression of her.

Hu Xin'er, who had some business dealings with her, frowned slightly. "Please don't be ridiculous, Miss Du. It's so late at night, and you're showing up in your night clothes. It's hard not to think too much."

Miss Du just looked at Lu Yunjue and said, "You have such a bad temper and don't know how to be gentle with women. It will be difficult for you to get married in the future."

Lu Yunjue only felt that the woman's eyes were glued to him. Although she had clearly not touched him, it was a thousand times more hateful than directly teasing him. It was simply extremely reckless.

He had already determined in his heart that Miss Du was the one harassing Mother Lu, so he directly questioned her, "Tell me your purpose quickly, or I will be rude!"

After saying that, he drew out the long sword from his waist, and after making a clanging sound, he pointed it directly at Miss Du's neck.

Miss Du asked with a smile: "What if I don't tell you?"

Lu Yunjue's eyes turned fierce, and he stabbed forward directly.

Miss Du's pupils suddenly constricted. She didn't expect that Lu Yunjue, who seemed calm and composed, would be so impulsive.

Fortunately, Hu Xin'er spoke in time: "Cloud Jue is not allowed!"

If Miss Du's blood spilled here today, no, even if she was just injured, the Lu family would probably have another enemy.

However, they are now at their weakest. Not to mention the Taoist priest and others who have gone out to look for medicine, the people left in this yard are also injured and weak.

Lu Yunjue restrained his sword, and the tip of the sword was just hanging in front of Miss Du's neck, just a little bit away from cutting her neck.

Miss Du looked pale and frightened: "You really hate me so much?"

Hu Xin'er said helplessly: "Ms. Du, right now, what you should be concerned about is not the handsome man, but your own safety, right?"

She felt that this Miss Du was just as the rumors said, she valued sex more than her life!

However, after the life-and-death crisis just now, Miss Du has completely lost the desire to tease the handsome man.

She looked at the sword tip so close to her, so nervous that she didn't even dare to swallow her saliva: "Manager Zhao, ask him to move the sword away first!"

Lu Yunjue's expression was cold. Hu Xin'er tentatively called out, "Yunjue, I don't think Miss Du intended to kill you. Her skills are obviously not as good as yours. Maybe she didn't do what happened before."

"If she didn't do it, why is she sneaking around?" Lu Yunjue's eyes were determined, "Sister-in-law, I will handle this matter. I must force her to tell me her purpose for targeting our family!"

Although Miss Du is an expert in martial arts, she has no chance to venture out into the world on her own because she is the only child in the family.

She was usually surrounded by the disciples of the martial arts school. In order to continue the life of the Du family, she went around looking for girls. Most of the girls she took a fancy to dared not speak out.

Therefore, she rarely faced life-or-death situations, let alone the fact that the man she loved was pressing against her neck, which made her feel humiliated.

If there were no outsiders around at the time, she would have erected her neck to take the sword rather than endure such a great humiliation.

Seeing Lu Yunjue's eyes full of doubt, as if he was determined that she was a bad person, she felt her heart pierced by his cold gaze and couldn't help but grit her teeth and said, "Why are you so stubborn? You are a grown man, not a little girl. What's wrong with being stared at a few times? It won't hurt a piece of your flesh!"

"Still trying to quibble!" Lu Yunjue didn't believe that she was interested in him at all, because there was a biggest flaw in Miss Du's words.

If Miss Du had some thoughts about him before he took off his mask, that would have been fine.

But Miss Du was the one who took off his mask. Who would be moved after seeing that look? It's good enough if she didn't insult or curse at him!

Although he feels inferior about his appearance, he is not lacking in love because he has his family.

Miss Du's fantastic rhetoric can only be used on those innocent men who are extremely lacking in love and have low self-esteem. It won't work on him!

He said bluntly, "I've heard a lot of rumors lately. They all say that Miss Du used to be fond of pretty boys and didn't have any special fetishes."

Miss Du watched as the sword tip was getting closer and closer, but all the major acupoints in her body were sealed. Even though she usually prided herself on being wise and steady, she couldn't help but panic.

She hurriedly said, "Why are you so incapable of taking a joke? Never mind, at worst I'll just stop having any improper thoughts about you from now on—ah!"

Lu Yunjue thrust his sword forward suddenly, shocking Hu Xin'er so much that her eyes widened: "Yun Jue, you can't do that!"

Miss Du now deeply regretted having provoked this evil star. After screaming, she closed her eyes tightly, but the expected pain did not come.

The sword deflected a few inches as it thrust forward, and now the tip of the sword was against her neck, chilling her to the core.
