Without saying a word, Youyi started fighting with the black-clad assassins.
Unfortunately, the assassins in black weren't targeting him at all. Seeing Xiao Bao and Leng Xiyue hiding behind a large rock, the assassins rushed towards the two of them.
You Yi tried to go and protect the two children, but was surrounded by assassins in black again. There were too many assassins, and You Yi couldn't break free for a moment. He was extremely anxious: "Xiao Bao, girl, be careful!"
Xiao Bao shielded Leng Xiyue behind him. When the assassins tried to kill him, Xiao Bao drew his soft sword from his waist and killed them one by one.
The assassins never expected that a five or six-year-old child would possess martial arts skills, and even be quite skilled.
The black-clad assassins' real target was Leng Xiyue. They didn't want to get entangled with You Yi and Xiao Bao, so they circled around to Xiao Bao and Leng Xiyue's rear.
"Watch out!" You Yi had been keeping an eye on Xiao Bao and Leng Xiyue. When he saw the black-clad assassin circle around behind them and raise his sword to stab Leng Xiyue, he broke out in a cold sweat.
Xiao Bao was also quite frightened, and it was too late for him to turn around and protect others.
Just as the assassin's longsword was about to pierce Leng Xiyue's body, Leng Xiyue suddenly rolled over and dodged the assassin's sword, rolling in front of the black-clad assassin at the same time.
The assassin in black was completely bewildered by her, having no idea how she got in front of him.
When he came to his senses and tried to put his sword away, Leng Xiyue kicked him hard in the crotch.
"Ah!" As the assassin screamed in pain, Leng Xiyue leaned forward, grabbed his hand, and slit his throat.
The assassin's eyes widened instantly, as if he would never understand how he had died at the hands of this little girl.
Not only was the black-clad assassin stunned, but You Yi, Xiao Bao, and the other assassins present were all utterly astonished by Leng Xiyue's move!
While everyone was stunned, Leng Xiyue turned around, grabbed Xiao Bao, and ran towards You Yi.
Youyi finally came to his senses, kicked away the black-clad assassin beside him, teleported to the two children, grabbed one in each hand, ignored the black-clad assassin behind him, used his lightness skill to increase his speed to the maximum, and ran away as fast as he could.
Xiao Bao and Leng Xiyue perched on You Yi's shoulders, staring at the men in black.
The man in black had been relentlessly following them, even occasionally shooting darts at them.
Fortunately, Youyi's lightness skill was extremely good. When those hidden weapons flew at him, it was as if he had eyes in the back of his head and was able to dodge them all.
Before long, Youyi led Xiaobao and Leng Xiyue to shake off the black-clad assassins. However, Youyi did not dare to take Xiaobao and Leng Xiyue home, for fear of leading the assassins back to the courtyard. He and Xiaobao had martial arts skills, but the white girl and the nanny did not, and he could not harm them.
Youyi took Xiaobao and Leng Xiyue into the mountains to hide. Only after confirming that they had shaken off the assassins did Youyi put the two children down.
You Yi, panting, looked at Leng Xiyue: "That prefect must have colluded with these assassins."
Otherwise, why would those assassins have come after them as soon as they ran out of the government office?
Leng Xiyue narrowed her eyes and said, "The deaths of my mother and father may be related to the government."
She had previously thought that her mother had offended someone and was murdered by hired killer.
But now it seems that things are far from that simple.
Xiao Bao frowned, surprised that the officialdom of Xiliang was so corrupt.
After all, the Empress of Western Liang was his maternal grandmother, so he really couldn't comment on her.
You Yi thought for a moment and said, "It's probably not going to work if we go to the government to file a complaint. Now that officials and thieves are colluding, we have to think of other ways."
Youyi's words silenced both children.
Although Youyi is a talkative person, he really didn't know what to say in this atmosphere.
The three of them stayed in the mountains until dark before secretly returning to the courtyard.
In the courtyard, Bai Fuya and Granny Shang were already waiting.
Seeing the three of them return looking travel-worn, Bai Fuya asked worriedly, "Did something happen?"
You Yi sighed, "Don't even mention it. When we went to the city today, we found that the case at the governor's mansion had been closed."
"The case is closed?" Bai Fuya was somewhat shocked: "The murderer was found so quickly?"
The county government office is moving quite quickly!
Youyi sighed again: "Oh no, the prefect colluded with assassins, saying that the incident at the governor's mansion was the work of bandits, and that the murderer had been caught. We went to the government office to beat the drum and appeal for justice, but the prefect did not admit that this girl was the governor's daughter. He even said that Xiaobao and I were the murderers of the governor's mansion and that he wanted to behead us and display our heads to the public. I had just run out of the city with the two children when we were chased by assassins."
Xiao Bao explained, "Master was afraid of attracting the assassins back, so he led us to hide in the mountains for a day. We didn't return until dark."
After listening to what the two said, Bai Fuya realized the seriousness of the matter: "It seems that the matter of the Prefect's Mansion may not be unrelated to this Prefect!"
Upon hearing this, You Yi excitedly slapped his thigh: "That's what I think too! The way that prefect treated us today, shouting for violence the moment we met, and then notifying assassins to hunt us down after we ran away, the matter at the prefect's mansion must be related to her!"
Bai Fuya looked at Leng Xiyue with a serious expression: "Now that things have come to this, what are your plans?"
Seeing Bai Fuya's tone of voice, Youyi and Xiaobao exchanged strange glances.
She spoke to the little girl in a gentle voice yesterday, what happened today?
Leng Xiyue glanced at Bai Fuya but didn't speak. After a moment of silence, she seemed to have made up her mind and knelt down before You Yi.
Youyi was startled by her and almost stood up from his chair.
"What are you doing? Just say what you want to say."
You Yi reached out to help Leng Xiyue up, but Leng Xiyue refused to get up: "I want to learn martial arts from you, please accept me as your disciple!"
As Leng Xiyue spoke, she prostrated herself on the ground.
Although she had only just met this person, his repeated acts of saving her had already shown her his martial arts skills.
He was the most skilled martial artist she knew, and he also taught Xiaobao very well.
It's already quite remarkable that Xiao Bao has such martial arts skills at such a young age.
If she wants to avenge her parents, she must learn ancient martial arts.
Leng Xiyue's words surprised everyone in the room.
Even You Yi was surprised that she wanted to become his disciple and learn martial arts from him.
Youyi looked closely at the little girl kneeling in front of him, her back ramrod straight, recalling the calm and decisive way she had killed the black-clad assassin earlier that day.
It must be said that this little girl has a cold and aloof personality, is agile, and has a decent physique; she is a good prospect for martial arts training.
However, he never really thought about taking on another apprentice. He originally just wanted to train Xiaobao well and pass on all his knowledge to him.
While You Yi was still hesitating and lost in thought, Bai Fuya gave him a push: "What? Such a good disciple is offered to you, and you're not going to accept her!"
