The four guards who came with him were about to be overwhelmed, so they worked together to send Mu Jingrui out of the sword formation.
Mu Jingrui gritted his teeth and his figure quickly disappeared into the darkness.
Jiang Yi didn't want to miss this good opportunity, so he asked all his men to disperse and chase after them.
He looked at the direction where Mu Jingrui disappeared, and the murderous intent in his eyes became stronger. He turned and headed in another direction, performing Qinggong.
Not far away, Mu Jingrui came out from behind the bushes and followed quietly.
Jiang Yi returned to the headquarters and walked straight towards a room.
He knocked on the door and pushed it open without waiting for the person inside to respond.
A breeze blew in the room, the gauze curtains fluttered, and a faint fragrance filled the air.
Behind the bed curtain, a graceful figure is looming.
"Why did you come back so late?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yi smiled flatteringly and walked forward to lift the bed curtain.
A pair of soft, boneless hands instantly wrapped around his neck.
Jiang Yi took the person into his arms, and they both fell to the ground.
Mu Jingrui was lurking on the roof, lifting up a tile and looking down.
He found that the woman lying in Jiang Yi's arms had the figure of a young girl, but her face was full of wrinkles, and even her hair was gray.
He couldn't help but be secretly surprised.
Mu Jingrui looked down again and saw that Jiang Yi and the woman had already started having an affair.
He quietly got down and searched the main hall, but found no trace of Chu Xiaolian.
He found that the house was eerily quiet, as if he was the only one there except Jiang Yi and that woman.
The more this happened, the more Mu Jingrui dared not to act rashly.
Before he came here, he had heard from people in the martial arts world that the Soul-Catching Hall was good at traps and ambushes, but he was not proficient in these.
Mu Jingrui hid in the dark, thinking secretly. When he was hesitating whether to go in and subdue Jiang Yi first, the door opened again and Jiang Yi came out dressed.
He followed immediately.
Jiang Yi came to the study, turned a vase on the bookshelf, opened the secret door, took a candle and walked in.
He walked to the end of the dark passage, which was a secret room.
"What do you think? Still not willing to agree?"
Jiang Yi walked up to Chu Xiaolian who was lying in the corner, and looked down at her with cold eyes.
Chu Xiaolian was covered in scars. She moved her mouth slightly but didn't even have the strength to speak.
Jiang Yi squatted down, pinched Chu Xiaolian's chin with his fingers, and said viciously: "Look at your character, even if Mu Jingrui stood in front of you now, he would not want you, why do you still want to be sentimental?"
"As long as you are willing to approach him and kill him, you will be free immediately. How can you not understand it? His death is better than your death, right?"
Chu Xiaolian opened her eyes and looked at Jiang Yi with hatred.
Such a look made Jiang Yi feel uncomfortable and manic. He raised his hand and slapped Chu Xiaolian in the face.
"Don't think that I can't do it without you. I can send someone else to kill him just the same."
Chu Xiaolian chuckled, full of sarcasm. "Humph, you don't have that ability."
These words completely hurt Jiang Yi's heart.
He kicked Chu Xiaolian in the chest and stepped on her. "Your personal maid escaped. Are you expecting Mu Jingrui to come and save you? Ah? Let me tell you, he is getting married. I am going to marry the daughter of the prime minister. What about you?"
"Who do you think you are in his heart? Even if you have given everything for him, does he know? I will give you one last chance, do you want to kill him?"
Chu Xiaolian endured the severe pain and closed her eyes in despair.
Mu Jingrui's appearance appeared in her mind, and tears slowly fell from the corners of her eyes.
She had long known that she and he were from two different worlds.
Only a girl as pure and innocent as Shangguan Wanning, with a distinguished family background, could be worthy of such a hero.
"Okay, since you are unwilling to assassinate Mu Jingrui, then keeping you alive is a waste of food. Tonight is the day you die."
Jiang Yi originally didn't plan to kill Chu Xiaolian so soon, but the appearance of Mu Jingrui made him a little panicked.
He gathered his fighting spirit in his palm and struck Chu Xiaolian between the eyebrows.
A strong sword energy rushed over, Jiang Yi lost his balance and was blown away, with his back hitting the wall heavily.
He just felt severe pain all over his body, as if his bones were falling apart.
Before he had time to think, a feeling of oppression enveloped his whole body.
Jiang Yi looked up and saw Mu Jingrui's sharp and cold eyes.
He was so frightened that he trembled all over. "How...how did you get in?"
Mu Jingrui didn't say anything. He bent down, grabbed Jiang Yi's neck, and lifted him up with one hand.
Jiang Yi struggled desperately. The feeling of suffocation made his vision blurred. He even felt his incontinence.
Just when he thought he was about to die, Mu Jingrui's hand loosened and he collapsed to the ground like a puddle of mud.
Mu Jingrui walked to Chu Xiaolian's side, helped her up and leaned her against him, and said softly: "I'll take you out."
Chu Xiaolian felt the warmth coming from Mu Jingrui's chest and tears fell like rain.
"I thought...I would never see you again..."
She really didn't expect that Mu Jingrui would really come.
Mu Jingrui didn't say anything, hesitated slightly, and then carried Chu Xiaolian on his back.
He walked up to Jiang Yi and said coldly: "Lead the way. If you dare to play tricks, this day next year will be your death anniversary."
Jiang Yi just felt cold all over, he didn't doubt Mu Jingrui's threat at all.
He got up tremblingly and stumbled ahead.
Chu Xiaolian lay on Mu Jingrui's shoulder, she tried hard to open her eyes and look at his profile.
At this moment, she silently prayed that it would last forever.
Jiang Yi took Mu Jingrui and Chu Xiaolian out of the secret room.
Chu Xiaolian whispered in Mu Jingrui's ear: "Leave as soon as possible, be careful of me..."
Before he finished his words, a white silk came towards Mu Jingrui like a giant snake.
Mu Jingrui leaped up and dodged with Chu Xiaolian on his back. "Hold me tight."
After saying that, he drew his sword and a few sword flowers tore the white silk into pieces.
A figure flashed by, and Mu Jingrui felt the danger approaching, so he confronted the other party with a palm in desperation.
In an instant, his entire arm was numb from the shock, and he took several steps back before he could barely steady himself.
Mu Jingrui looked carefully and saw that the woman who had been in the room with Jiang Yi just now was standing in front of him in a thin gauze dress.
The woman's evil eyes moved across Mu Jingrui's body, making him feel nauseous.
"Are you Mu Jingrui?" The woman's voice was soft, like a young girl's. "You are handsome and have great martial arts skills. I think... you must be very strong. No wonder my disciple is so obsessed with you."
Mu Jingrui heard the woman's hidden meaning and felt even more disgusted.
