Taking advantage of the chaos, Su Yan arrived in front of the two men in black.
As soon as the man in black saw Su Yan running over, he immediately stopped her warily, saying, "No entry here..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Su Yan waved her hand and threw poison powder at the two men in black.
Seeing that Su Yan was up to no good, the man in black immediately retaliated. However, as soon as he launched his attack, he felt a tingling sensation in his body. With a thud, the two of them fell to the ground.
The two men in black who had inhaled the drug powder quickly lost consciousness.
To avoid arousing suspicion, Su Yan quickly stripped off the clothes of the man in black, whose build was similar to hers, and put them on herself.
Holding the token she found on the man in black, Su Yan's path inside was incredibly smooth.
As she went further in, Su Yan noticed that her group of men in black were all running in one direction.
Logically, the chaos should have occurred outside, but the men in black didn't seem to be fleeing; they appeared to be in an emergency.
Su Yan was unfamiliar with the area, and with a "blind cat stumbling upon a dead mouse" attitude, she followed behind the man in black.
But the world is always full of miracles and wonders.
Su Yan followed behind a group of men in black and saw Shen Yao carrying Ye Qingzhu away.
At this moment, Shen Yao's naked upper body was covered in blood. Although there were no marks of whipping, there were two bloody holes on his shoulder blades, indicating that he had been tortured.
Because Su Yan was wearing a mask, Shen Yao did not recognize her.
They dragged Ye Qingzhu along little by little toward the door, until they arrived at an empty courtyard.
The men in black swarmed forward, surrounding Shen Yao and Ye Qingzhu in a circle.
At this moment, Ye Qingzhu suddenly spoke up, "Chen Yao, stop struggling, you can't escape, just surrender obediently!"
This statement was full of provocation, but it also meant that Shen Yao was in a desperate situation and had no chance of escaping.
Shen Yao was also aware of this problem. There was no fear on his face. He just sneered at Ye Qingzhu, "Even if I die, I will die by my own hand."
After saying that, Shen Yao pushed Ye Qingzhu away, made up his mind, and plunged the hairpin into his heart.
Seeing Shen Yao's determination to die, Ye Qingzhu's face was filled with panic. She never expected that he would be so ruthless as to commit suicide.
Meanwhile, Su Yan, who was always in the shadows, kept a close eye on Shen Yao's every move.
So, just seconds before the hairpin was about to pierce her heart, Su Yan swiftly fired a hidden weapon.
It was a hidden weapon that could be used to easily jump over walls. Su Yan shot it towards the eaves of a three- or four-story building, and as the rope tightened, it pulled her up.
Using the momentum, Su Yan scooped up Shen Yao, and in the blink of an eye, the two landed steadily on the roof.
Because Su Yan was wearing the Dark Moon Pavilion's 'ghost mask,' everyone stared in astonishment as Shen Yao was led to the rooftop, momentarily forgetting how to react.
Of course, Shen Yao was also looking at the person who carried him up with a look of astonishment.
Ye Qingzhu was the first to react, looking up at the man in black on the roof, "Who are you, daring to cause trouble on Dark Moon Pavilion's territory?"
Su Yan looked at the woman in front of her. She was indeed quite good-looking and should be Ye Qingzhu, the deputy head of the Dark Moon Pavilion.
Su Yan had been curious about what kind of woman Shen Yao had gone to such lengths for, but after seeing her in person...
It looked nice, but it didn't quite match what Su Yan had imagined, which made her a little disappointed.
Despite her disappointment, Su Yan didn't forget her business.
She removed her ghost mask, met Ye Qingzhu's gaze, and said with a smile, "Vice Pavilion Master, you don't need to worry about my people."
Ye Qingzhu was somewhat surprised that the visitor was Su Yan. She instinctively clenched her fists, unable to conceal her hatred for her, and pointed at the person on the roof, saying to the people beside her, "What are you looking at? Grab her..."
Upon seeing Ye Qingzhu order her to be arrested, Su Yan immediately jumped off the wall with Shen Yao and quickly fled the scene.
There were still people waiting outside the wall. When Su Yan jumped off the wall, she was caught by the Imperial Guards outside the wall.
With backup, their escape speed increased significantly. Just as they were about to reach the riverbank, Ye Qingzhu and her men caught up with them.
Seeing that the other side had a large number of people, Su Yan kept urging them to row away, since fighting head-on would not do her any good.
"Hurry! They're catching up!"
At this time, the sky was still pitch black.
Just as Ye Qingzhu and her men in black were about to catch up, they suddenly saw an old woman blocking their way. Upon seeing that it was the River Goddess, they stopped their pursuit.
The River Goddess bowed respectfully to her and said in a deep voice, "Vice Pavilion Master, the Pavilion Master has ordered them to leave..."
Ye Qingzhu looked at the River Goddess with disbelief, somewhat doubting the information she had heard, and couldn't help but ask, "The Pavilion Master told me to let them leave?"
He Po nodded in response to Ye Qingzhu's question.
After receiving an affirmative answer, Ye Qingzhu looked puzzled, unable to understand why the Pavilion Master would suddenly issue such an order.
"Why?" Ye Qingzhu voiced her doubts.
However, the River Goddess had a serious expression, as if she were blaming him, "The Pavilion Master's orders need no further questioning."
Hearing this, Ye Qingzhu was somewhat angry, but she held back, after all, He Po was her savior.
"I see……"
After saying that, Ye Qingzhu looked indignantly at Su Yan and the others' small wooden boat, which slowly sailed out of the ghost market and disappeared into the darkness.
………………
By the time I returned to the Overwatch Council, it was already dawn.
On the way back, Su Yan examined Shen Yao's pulse and found it to be very strange. However, his injuries were not serious and he would recover after a period of rest.
However, out of caution, Su Yan still asked her senior sister to examine Shen Yao's body, and the examination unexpectedly revealed a major problem.
The current situation is that Shen Yao has fainted due to exhaustion, and after Wang Ruofu finished the diagnosis, he called her into the house with a heavy expression.
As soon as Su Yan entered the room, she sensed the oppressive atmosphere, and a sense of unease rose in her heart when she saw Wang Ruofu's worried expression.
"Senior sister, how is Chen Yao?"
Wang Ruofu looked up, and their eyes met. She sighed deeply and said, "Xiao Yan'er, you need to be mentally prepared..."
Upon hearing this, Su Yan's mind went blank, her eyes filled with panic, and she stammered, "Senior sister, you...you...we'll talk about it later, you're scaring me..."
"If my diagnosis is correct, Shen Yao has been poisoned by Gu."
"What!"
Upon hearing this, Su Yan's eyes widened, and she looked at Wang Ruofu with disbelief. "Senior Sister, what kind of Gu poison?"
Wang Ruofu patiently explained to Su Yan, "Do you remember the puppet soldier Xie Yu mentioned? I think Shen Yao has been poisoned by the same kind of Gu poison. In three months, Shen Yao will become a puppet to be used by others."
