"You?" Shufeng had long felt that the aura of the woman in front of him was very familiar.
When she stopped and looked at him, he felt an inexplicable tremor in his heart.
This woman really looks like Master.
But hasn’t Master already…
Just when the north wind stopped, Gu Yufei struggled to escape.
"Chase her, don't let her run away!" Shufeng came to his senses and gave the order quickly.
The guards led by Shuofeng were in hot pursuit, their footsteps echoing in the night sky like a pack of hunting wolves.
Gu Yufei's heart beat faster, she knew she was almost at her wit's end.
At this moment, a masked man suddenly jumped down from a high wall nearby. His movements were as quick and precise as an eagle swooping down on its prey.
The long sword in his hand was like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue, retreating at the first touch. The guards were forced back by his sharp swordsmanship.
Shu Feng stepped forward to fight, but was repelled by the opponent's exquisite moves. In the chaos, several guards were assassinated and the situation was out of control.
The masked man reached out and grabbed Gu Yufei, and the two quickly fled the chaotic area. They passed through the intricate alleys and eventually escaped the pursuit.
In a safe and secluded corner, the masked man took the initiative to remove the veil, revealing Xuerong's handsome face. There was a hint of playfulness in his eyes, as if he didn't care about the life-and-death escape he had just had.
"Why save me?" Gu Yufei asked, her voice full of confusion and vigilance.
Xuerong smiled slightly, with a hint of unruliness in her smile, "Because I don't want you to die." His tone was relaxed, as if he was talking about the weather.
Gu Yufei felt confused. Xuerong's attitude made it difficult for her to understand his true intentions. "You like me? What do you mean?"
The smile in Xuerong's eyes grew even wider. He approached Gu Yufei step by step, and said frivolously, "Just as the words say, am I not more attractive than those stupid guards?"
Gu Yufei felt a little uneasy. Although Xuerong's words and actions were frivolous, they undoubtedly saved her life.
She couldn't help but begin to doubt Xuerong's motives and couldn't easily trust this savior who suddenly appeared.
Xuerong looked at Gu Yufei's eyes filled with doubt and finally suppressed his smile. He said sternly, "Miss Gu, don't you know how dangerous it is to break into the Imperial Master's residence at night? If you had been caught just now, would you have been planning to use your evil power? That thing can cause great harm to people. I advise you to cherish your life..."
"I am very grateful that you saved me. I will definitely repay you double for helping me. But if you are here to preach to me or to gain my affection, I'm sorry, it's impossible." Gu Yufei turned her head away.
This Fourth Young Master had obviously seen through her identity.
How did he know that she knew evil skills?
"My second brother just went out to check for the assassin. When you return, go back through the main gate."
"Oh, I see." Gu Yufei's attitude was a little cold.
She didn't want to get too involved with Rong Xue.
“……………………”
Night fell over the palace, and silence reigned all around.
Gu Yufei's face was shrouded in shadow, and her expression could not be seen clearly, but from her slightly lowered eyes and tightly pursed lips, it could be seen that she was in a heavy mood. Her steps were slow and cautious, as if she was afraid of disturbing something.
The palace's gate was tightly shut. Gu Yufei gently pushed it open, and the hinges creaked softly. She walked into the courtyard, where the flowers, plants, and trees cast mottled shadows in the moonlight, like an ink painting. Gu Yufei crossed the courtyard and arrived at the door of her room.
She gently pushed open the door, and a faint fragrance filled the room. She walked to the window, opened it, and let the cool night breeze blow in. She looked out the window at the starry sky, her mind full of thoughts.
