Lin Xiuyan took a few steps back, and the assassins slashed at her from behind, leaving her with no way to avoid them.
She gritted her teeth and decided to fight the assassins head-on with her knife, but the assassins blocking her way stopped in their tracks.
She was slightly taken aback when she saw a red mark suddenly appear on their necks. The next moment, the assassin's head fell off his neck.
Lin Xiuyan: "!!!!!"
She looked up and saw Ye Junfei standing behind the assassin, holding an extremely thin blade in his hand.
The wind ruffled his dark hair, his gentle eyes were like the spring waters of March, and the red mole was alluring and captivating. Combined with his extraordinary handsome figure, he seemed like a banished immortal.
Lin Xiuyan didn't expect him to save her; it seemed she owed him another favor.
Her first thought was: How am I going to repay this favor?
At that moment, she didn't know what to say, so she simply clapped for him: "Master Ye is amazing!"
Ye Junfei asked her with a smile, "Is he even more capable than your little lover?"
"Huh?" Lin Xiuyan asked, puzzled. "What little lover?"
More assassins attacked them, but Ye Junfei's blade flashed like a ghost, slid its throat directly.
He gently turned his hand again, and blood gushed out, splattering all over Lin Xiuyan's face.
A cold, murderous blade grazed Lin Xiuyan's nose, its chilling aura sending a shiver down her spine. (M.cascoo.net)
In the blink of an eye, all the assassins who approached them had their necks severed by the blades and fell to the ground dead.
He was so ferocious that the remaining assassins were terrified and dared not come closer for a moment.
Ye Junfei's snow-white robes were stained with specks of blood, adding a touch of sinister aura to his appearance.
He leaned closer to her and said gently, "Still pretending in front of me?"
Lin Xiuyan paused for a moment before saying, "What are you pretending for? You're not talking about Xu Qianting, are you? He's my brother, not some lover!"
Ye Junfei's gaze deepened as he looked at her: "It doesn't matter whether he's your lover or your brother, he's going to die today anyway."
Lin Xiuyan knew how dangerous he was, and immediately grabbed his arm, saying, "You can't kill him!"
Ye Junfei's slender fingers stroked her face, wiping away the blood. In an instant, blood covered her face.
He said gently, "What? You can't bear to part with it?"
Lin Xiuyan didn't know what Xu Qianting had done to offend him, but she knew that no one he wanted to kill could survive.
She reached out and took his arm, saying, "If he has offended you, I apologize on his behalf."
"He and I grew up together, and our bond is extraordinary!"
"I see!" Ye Junfei said with a hint of regret, letting out a soft sigh. "Then he has even less value in living."
"I'm a domineering person, and I will never allow anyone to have a higher place in your heart than me."
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
That's a pervert!
Those who didn't know the truth might have thought he liked her, but she knew that he killed Xu Qianting more likely to see her sad and heartbroken.
She knew there was no reasoning with him.
It's possible that the more she tries to reason with him, the more he'll want to kill Xu Qianting.
She took a deep breath and said, "If you dare to kill him, I will die with him. I mean what I say!"
“I know you don’t care about anyone’s life or death, but if I die, there will be no one in this world who can suppress your bloodline from going astray.”
Ye Junfei looked at her; her eyes were filled with anger and ruthlessness, and there seemed to be a hidden disgust for him in them.
The smile on his face gradually faded, and a thin layer of frost settled between his brows and eyes.
He knew she didn't like him very much, and might even be a little afraid of him.
He hadn't thought there was anything wrong with these things before, but today, in order to protect Xu Qianting, she was willing to die with him.
Comparing the two, even if Ye Junfei is completely clueless about emotions, he can still sense the difference between them.
He gripped the blade tightly, his peach blossom eyes blazing with even more killing intent: "Is that so? Then he's even more certain to die today."
"After all, I've never seen anyone willing to die for another person before. I'm quite curious, and I'd love to see."
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
She almost forgot that his style of doing things was always unpredictable.
The more someone cares about something, the more he wants to destroy it.
Lin Xiuyan smiled and said, "Alright then, I wish Young Master Ye a speedy discovery of the Blood Jade Grass, that he will never suffer from qi deviation again, and that he will live a long and healthy life!"
She knew that as long as he lived, Zhou Chenyang would not have a good time, and this time, without her help, Zhou Chenyang would be utterly defeated by Ye Junfei.
Ye Junfei saw the determination in her eyes.
After spending time with her, he knew her personality; she would do what she said she would do.
She's actually willing to live and die with Xu Qianting? What about him? Does he even hold a place in her heart?
This realization made him feel extremely uncomfortable, and his previously calm blood began to boil again.
He sneered, "As you wish."
Just then, Xu Qianting poked his head out from the second floor and shouted, "Xiuyan, Zhou Chenyang has come with his men! You'd better leave quickly!"
Ye Junfei slowly drew a short knife from his waist, his slender fingers gently turning it, the knife spinning faster and faster.
Seeing that the short knife was about to fly towards Xu Qianting, Lin Xiuyan didn't say anything, but simply put the knife to her own neck.
She looked at Xu Qianting and smiled slightly at him.
Xu Qianting was stunned for a moment when he saw this scene, and then he felt an overwhelming killing intent, which made cold sweat break out on his back.
The sound of something cutting through the air rang in his ears. He tried to dodge, but found his whole body stiff and unable to move.
The next moment, he heard screams coming from behind him.
He turned around abruptly and saw the dagger that had been flying towards him embedded between the eyebrows of an assassin.
The crisis was over, and his heart started pounding. Oh my god, I was so scared!
Lin Xiuyan had already prepared herself for certain death; there was even a bloody mark on her neck.
The unexpected turn of events surprised her.
Is Ye Junfei not going to kill Xu Qianting?
She turned to look at Ye Junfei, but he didn't look at her. He put one hand behind his back and walked away without looking back.
Lin Xiuyan breathed a sigh of relief and said in a light tone, "Thank you, Master Ye!"
Ye Junfei snorted coldly upon hearing her voice, the smile that usually graced his face vanished completely.
He really meant to kill Xu Qianting just now, and once that thought took hold, no one could change the outcome.
Lin Xiuyan was the first.
Ye Junfei had witnessed countless acts of deceit and treachery, and countless life-and-death struggles, but this was the first time he had ever seen someone truly willing to die for another person.
At that moment, he was incredibly envious of Xu Qianting, who could have Lin Xiuyan protect him with her life.
Never before in this world has anyone protected him like this.
As soon as Ye Junfei left, the assassins who were still alive on the edge surrounded Lin Xiuyan again.
Before they could even get close, their throats were slit with flying swords, and they all fell to the ground.
Lin Xiuyan, who was just preparing to fight: "..."
