Chapter 47: A preview of the next chapter: There will be a big breakthrough in the next chapter, trust me! ...

Frost rolled on the ground and shouted, "Seventh Master, don't worry. Just don't let Rongrong get close to that monk. Everything will be fine if she leaves!"

Chen Yu felt reassured upon hearing this. He decisively jumped from the eagle's back back to the top of the cage, then leaped off several lower platforms one by one, landing steadily on the ground. He grabbed Shuangjiang's wrist and pulled her up, whispering in her ear:

"If this continues, we'll all die here. Quick, take Xiaojiu away first."

Shuangjiang looked troubled. Before she could object, Qi Xin said solemnly, "No, I can't leave! Take her with you first, Sister Shuang. Thank you for your hard work!"

"Xinxin, you—" Xihe shook her head and said nothing in the end. She knew very well that she couldn't even walk now, and staying would only be a burden.

"What? Have you had enough of this long farewell?" Mei Niang smirked, her eyes filled with cruelty. "If you're so reluctant to leave, why not let no one go?"

"Let's go!" Chen Yu didn't hesitate any longer and pushed Shuangjiang onto the eagle's back.

The bald eagle flapped its huge wings, blowing away several low-level parasol leaders who wanted to step forward to stop it.

Frost didn't say anything else, and then took advantage of the opportunity of a dive to pull Xihe onto the eagle's back, then circled up and flew away.

"A bunch of trash!" Mei Niang's eyes were bloodshot as she roared and rushed towards Qi Xin and Shen Yu.

The two of them turned to the sides to avoid each other. When they passed each other, Chen Yu cut a narrow cut on Mei Niang's shoulder, took a booklet from her waist, and took the opportunity of turning his back to her to stuff it into his own lapel.

The three of them stopped. Mei Niang tilted her head to look at the wound on her shoulder, as if she didn't feel any pain. She smiled and wiped the blood flowing from her shoulder on the dagger, then rushed straight towards Chen Yu.

"Master, don't touch her blood!" Qi Xin almost yelled when he saw this.

Although Qi Xin had previously guessed that Mei Niang was most likely a resonant blood person of high purity, he had never seen her injured.

Until just now, she noticed that Mei Niang's blood dripped from her fingers onto the back of Hong Xiu's hand, who had just died. Although it was only one drop, the skin there seemed to be turned up as if it was burned.

Qi Xin was horrified, but before he could figure out why, he saw Mei Niang attacking his master again. Strangely, it seemed like Mei Niang's murderous intent towards her master was even stronger than towards herself.

A head-on confrontation is definitely not going to work, we have to retreat quickly.

Qi Xin took advantage of the chaos and climbed up to the top of a cage through some inconspicuous rocks. He killed the low-level prostitutes who followed him one by one with his arrows.

After the devilish training by Chen Yu, Qi Xin's archery skills were already very accurate. In addition, the arrows he used this time were probably made in a hurry, similar to the arrows used to break beacons, so they would naturally kill with one strike.

Soon, after a round of people coming forward one after another, no low-level fan leader dared to come up rashly.

After all, their monastery leader ordered them to be captured alive, but Qi Xin showed no mercy to them and killed them all.

Although their master's moves were deadly and left no chance for him to breathe when they fought with the legendary Duke Jingguo, they knew that the master had the ability to control himself and not harm his life, but they could not.

Qi Xin took advantage of their dilemma and aimed the arrow at Mei Niang's throat.

Although Qi Xin had experience in shooting at moving targets when fighting Zheng Ba before, Mei Niang was determined to get close to Shen Yu and fought fiercely with him.

Besides, she felt that her vision was already filled with blood, and the bloodthirsty murderous intent in her heart was surging, about to swallow up her last bit of sanity.

Therefore, faced with such a difficult situation, she had no choice but to give it a try.

But when the arrow in his hand really left the bowstring, Qi Xin was still frightened.

When the tip of the arrow grazed the tip of Chen Yu's ear, Qi Xin endured the severe pain that almost made his head explode and shouted, "Master, hurry up!"

Mei Niang did not expect that when she and Shen Yu were fighting in such close combat, Qi Xin still had the courage to shoot the arrow even though his mind was already unstable.

Mei Niang had no choice but to duck and avoid it.

But at this moment, Chen Yu had already leaped in front of Qi Xin, then grabbed her waist and took her to the ground through the gap that the bald eagle had just made.

When Mei Niang stood up again, the two men had already disappeared. She swung the dagger into the chest of a low-ranking prostitute not far away, gnashing her teeth and saying:

"What are you all standing there for? Go chase them!"

After reaching the ground, Chen Yu grabbed Qi Xin and ran wildly.

After Qi Xin shot the arrow, the last bit of clarity she had maintained with her willpower vanished completely. Her white clitoris was already covered with red lines, and her tone became cold and stern: "Why are you running?"

Chen Yu didn't notice her abnormality, thinking that she was just too frightened, so he led the way towards Xi Mansion without looking back.

"Ugh, you're really looking for death!" Qi Xin tried hard to shake off his hand, but he held it too tightly and couldn't pull it out no matter how hard he tried.

Shen Yu shuddered at her sudden, unfamiliar, cold words. He realized something was wrong and immediately turned around to meet her round, red-lined eyes: "Xiao Jiu, you——"

Seeing that they were only a few steps away from Xi Mansion, Chen Yu didn't bother to say anything. He just chopped her on the back of the neck with a knife and jumped down from the back wall of Xi Mansion with her on his back.

Chen Yu himself had not yet recovered from a cold, and after the desperate fight just now, he was already somewhat exhausted. He climbed over the back wall of Xi Mansion and fell headfirst into a patch of weeds.

Before landing, he adjusted his posture in the air, protecting Qi Xin's head and letting her fall heavily on him.

A servant who was patrolling the corridor not far away noticed the movement near the wall and was about to go over to check.

At this moment, Xi He leaned against the redwood pillar and spoke slowly: "It's so late, what are you all doing here?"

When these servants saw Xihe, they felt relieved, as if they had finally found a reliable backbone after a long drought. They immediately started to sigh in agreement.

"M-Miss?"

"You're back?"

"The master has been extremely worried about you for the past few days since you disappeared. I will go and inform you right away!"

…

"Stop!" Xihe shouted at the volunteer servant in a low voice, "Father must have been sleepless for these days. Now that he finally gets some sleep, let him rest for a while."

"Yes, Miss." The servant bowed and responded respectfully, "But there was some movement behind the wall just now. We wanted to check it out, but we didn't expect to alarm Miss..."

"This is the Xi Mansion. Who dares to act so brazenly here?" Xi He acted like a rich lady and ordered in a stern voice, "You are all too suspicious. Go away."

Although the servants were still worried, they had no choice but to disperse since their mistress had spoken.

The old butler in charge kept looking back and admonishing, "Young lady, if you find anything unusual again, don't try to be stubborn. Remember to call for help."

"I know, I know! Why are you still so nagging..." Xihe laughed and scolded on the surface, but he actually understood very well in his heart that the old butler was worried that he would take risks again.

Although she had been blessed by her father since childhood, she was quite precocious and understood the world earlier than other children of the same age. Therefore, she was the one who took Qi Xin out to play when they were young.

It is not wrong to say that she is sincere. Over the years, it is because of her guidance that Qi Xin has avoided detours in some cognitive concepts.

But she knew in her heart that at first, she had consciously approached Her Royal Highness Princess Jialing—

Although his father was a veteran of two dynasties and had a deep foundation, at the same time, because his father never formed cliques with any forces and often made direct criticisms in the court, over time, the relationship between his father and the current emperor and various forces in the court was very delicate.

In this way, even the slightest disturbance could easily put my father in a dilemma.

She knew that her father's greatest wish since he entered the court was to achieve a peaceful and prosperous society, even if it meant sacrificing his life for it. Therefore, he was always willing and courageous to speak out.

In this chaotic court, it was the Grand Court Minister Lan Xiwu who always protected her father at crucial moments. However, she didn't know what Lord Lan's motives were, and therefore, she didn't know how long he could keep protecting her.

There are no brothers in the family, so if someone were to make trouble for her father one day, she would have to make sure everything is prepared.

To overwhelm power, it must be a higher power...

The concubines in the harem were all of high rank, but Empress Yuan's ability to hold onto the throne couldn't have been due to some simple bond of friendship. Otherwise, even if Qi Xin was the eldest princess, she wouldn't have been so "valued" by her self-righteous father.

If someone is useful to the current emperor, then he must be quite capable. If I have such a close friend, if his Rixi Mansion really encounters any disaster, then His Highness Jialing should be able to say a few words.

Ever since the Night-Eating Son Gu in Frost's body lost its mother Gu, the power of the blood pill in her body has weakened, causing her ability to be lower than that of people with blood of the same purity.

Although she herself was aware of it, she was not sure whether the power of the blood pill would disappear completely one day.

But for now, at least her five senses are still sharper than those of ordinary people. In addition, she is already very familiar with Shen Yu, so she is one step ahead of Xihe and can see the person by the wall clearly in the deep darkness.

Frost was extremely anxious, but he couldn't act rashly in this unfamiliar place, so he could only use his lips to convey information to Xihe in the blind spot of his vision.

In fact, she didn't know whether Xihe, the daughter of a wealthy family, could understand her meaning accurately, but this did not make her worry for too long. Facts proved that the people around Qi Xin were really quite similar to her.

Each of them doesn't look like the pampered ladies in this prosperous Shengdu. Instead, they all seem to have been well-trained since childhood. It's really intriguing.

After everyone left, Shuangjiang immediately rushed out and quickly helped the man up: "Seventh Master, are you okay?"

Chen Yu had just fought fiercely while sick, and had suffered such a fall, so his lips had visibly turned pale.

Xi He looked at his sickly beauty and said sympathetically, "My Lord, you just escaped death, so you must be in need of recuperation. Why don't you rest at home first and leave His Highness to my care?"

Chen Yu didn't have the time to delve into why Xi He recognized him. It was just that the effect of Qi Xin's blood pill this time was unusual. Even if he knocked her unconscious, he didn't know when she would regain consciousness.

Perhaps the blood pill had shown signs of taking effect when they were in the ruined temple, and it was all his fault that he realized it so late.

Chen Yu held Qi Xin's shoulders tightly and pulled him into his arms, neither saying a word nor showing any intention of letting go.
