Two steps away in the shadows, Xiao Ziwu's teeth itched as he listened, feeling utterly absurd! Could it be that he was too attached to her, making him think any similar voice belonged to his beloved?
How could my precious baby possibly be here?
I'm so obsessed with missing her...
Just as Tianyun had predicted, the young master surnamed Wei did not refuse her request to be alone. On the contrary, he seemed to be happy to see it happen, and he grinned mischievously, saying, "I like people as insightful as you, Miss. It can also save us from unnecessary fighting and killing, right? I am a Buddhist and the last thing I want to see is bloodshed."
"Young master is kind." Tianyun praised him in a light tone, then gently bowed and said, "Please come in with me."
Shi Que was blocked outside the door, and his body slumped against the wall, his thoughts entirely focused on the girl on the other side of the wall.
Seeing that the chaos had subsided, and that both sides had reached a consensus—one willing to fight and the other willing to be attacked—Xiao Ziwu calmly prepared to return to camp.
The candlelight flickered inside the room. As soon as the young master stepped inside, he pounced on the room with a ferocious and impatient manner. Tianyun cried out in surprise and barely dodged the oncoming embrace.
The movement was too vigorous, causing another churning in my abdomen.
Her two bright red lips were also tightly pursed, turning pale, and she shouted, "If you, young master, do not follow the rules, I would rather die on the spot than submit to you and suffer such humiliation!"
Wei Jian dusted off the dust on his clothes. Undeterred by his failure to embrace her, he merely scoffed, "If you're truly sincere, you should let me see your beauty beneath the veil, instead of trying to pull any tricks. Let me tell you something: if you dare to scheme against me, your good husband waiting outside will be chopped into pieces on the spot!"
Although he looks young, he is very cold-hearted. Otherwise, his father would not have let him go out to do business alone and deal with a group of unscrupulous merchants with wicked intentions!
Tianyun's back stiffened, fear immediately creeping up her spine from her tailbone, but she dared not show any fear on her face. She smiled calmly and said in a steady voice, "Young master, what are you saying? How could a weak woman like me dare to play tricks under your nose?"
To lower his guard, Tianyun cautiously strolled over, sat down on the embroidered stool furthest from him, reached out and untied the yellow ribbon at his chin, and slowly took off his veil.
This small space instantly fell into complete silence.
The young master's face showed infatuation. He had only been attracted to her graceful and slender figure, but now that he saw her stunning beauty, countless dirty and filthy schemes came to mind, which he wanted to use on her.
I want to see her pitiful, helpless expression!
The young master's voice softened slightly, but a hint of unease flickered in his eyes. "Miss... how do you plan to apologize to me?"
Is the masked man truly impotent? With such a heavenly beauty beside him, how could he possibly resist taking advantage of her?
The tea on the table had long since gone cold. Tianyun's heart pounded. She slowly poured a cup of cold tea with clenched fingers and offered it to him. "What happened tonight was my husband's recklessness. He offended you, sir. I offer you this tea as an apology. I hope you will be magnanimous and forgive him this time."
The fairy of Yaochi spoke gently and sweetly, even softening the heart of the Jade Emperor. Wei Jian, slightly dazed by the fragrant aroma, said, "Let me kiss him, and I'll spare him!"
He carelessly knocked over the tea laced with sleeping pills between his hands. Tianyun, trembling with pain, stood up and cried out in alarm. With swift movements, she sprinkled the powder from her sash at him.
Wei Jian suddenly took a big gulp, his face turning ashen, and shouted, "Well! You really were just messing with me!"
After saying that, he pounced on her, trying to subdue her!
The group that had surrounded the room tightly, upon hearing the commotion inside, began to stir like undercurrents beneath a calm lake. They drew their knives again, preparing to storm the door.
Shi Que was more anxious than any of them. She cleaved open the door with her sword, shouting, "Don't be afraid, young lady, I'm here!"
※※※※
Xiao Ziwu flew away, but in just a few breaths, his right eyelid began to twitch violently, and an unusual tremor in his heart made him frown slightly in discomfort.
What happened?
There was a sense of foreboding.
He froze, the familiar voice from beneath the curtain echoing in his ears, and could no longer take another step.
Xiao Ziwu closed his eyes and touched his right eye, a sense of horror rising within him!
His slightly damp, dark hair twirled in the air as he hurried back.
※※※※
Although Shi Que was highly skilled in martial arts, he was no match for four people. He was already struggling to deal with three people, let alone six strong men.
It can be said that they are attacked from both sides.
Wei Jian had been drugged and was lying in the room, but Tian Yun was too weak to help him up, so she used him as a hostage to threaten them.
Exhausted, she collapsed to the ground, her vision blurring from the pain, barely managing to stay conscious. At the doorway, Shi Que was already overwhelmed, a bloody scratch on her arm, yet she still held firm, preventing the men from rushing through the door and harming the girl.
If things continue like this, when Shi Que becomes exhausted, the two of them will also face certain death.
Shi Que was exhausted from dealing with them. She tried to drag the unconscious Wei Jian over to control them, but the six men never gave her a chance. Their moves were as fast as lightning, and each corner was occupied by someone, surrounding her so tightly that she couldn't move an inch.
Tianyun, supporting her weak body, walked to the bundle, wanting to take out some more medicinal powder to share some of the burden with Shi Que.
As she turned to the side, she caught a glimpse of Shi Que behind her, where a burly man was holding a short dagger and trying to ambush her.
They no longer wanted to waste any more time in the stone cave; they just wanted a quick victory.
