Wen Yue was stabbed in the back and covered in blood. He only managed to run two or three steps before someone kicked him and sent him rolling far away.
His mouth tasted metallic and sweet, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Wen Yue collapsed to the ground, staring blankly at the sky shrouded in mist, regretting that his life had ended so hastily.
However, even as a ghost, he will not let Wen Shi and Zheng Xiulan go!
"Boy, someone offered five hundred taels to kill you, you're unlucky to have met your grandpa! Those little beggars are quite loyal, they even risked their lives to protect you. Too bad, you're doomed to die today!"
"Give me your life!"
The assassins from Chunfeng Tower have never been defeated. I thought it would be a tough job, but it turned out to be a weakling. Five hundred taels of silver for nothing.
The curved blade aimed straight for the head, seeking to strike with deadly precision.
Wen Yue closed his eyes and accepted his inevitable death, but some people are just destined to live.
The silver dart flew through the air and collided directly with the scimitar. The scimitar was deflected and grazed Wen Yue's cheek before embedding itself in the tree behind him.
Wen Yue felt a burning pain on his left cheek, and something slid off his face. He reached up and touched the wound. He wasn't dead yet?
He opened his eyes and looked at the three men in black, close-fitting clothes blocking his way with wary expressions.
Who are they? And why are they saving him?
Wen Yue couldn't care less about anything else right now; he had to escape!
He had just gotten up when one of them darted to his side, stepped on his back, and pushed him back down, showing no mercy and giving Wen Yue no chance to resist.
The assassins from Chunfeng Tower were also observing the suddenly appearing shadowy guards. His martial arts skills were renowned throughout Chunfeng Tower and even the entire martial arts world, yet these men possessed such exceptional lightness skills that they revealed not a trace of their presence!
These people are no ordinary individuals!
"Who goes there? This is an event at Chunfeng Tower. All those who are not involved, please disperse immediately!"
The leader of the shadow guards sneered and drew his sword with lightning speed, placing it against the neck of the Spring Breeze Pavilion assassin in an instant.
"The Thirteen Swords of Astounding Beauty! You are Thirteen!"
His master only told him to find someone, without saying whether the assassin could kill or not. Thirteen didn't answer him, but instead fed him a red pill.
The pills melted instantly in the mouth, giving the other party no chance to spit them out. Thirteen, being a fellow professional, had plenty of ways to deal with him.
They dislocated his arms and limbs and dragged him back like a dead dog. Wen Yue saw that these people had no intention of killing him and knew that he was powerless to resist, so he obediently let them carry him back.
The mountain god temple had been cleaned up, and Wen Yue was thrown at Su Wenqi's feet by the shadow guards.
Chiu Chiu peeked out from her aunt's arms, glanced at the Shadow Guard, and then buried her little head back down.
Su Wenqi: "Step back, you've frightened the young lady."
Chirp immediately poked its head out again, peeking around like a little turtle: "Why did you leave?"
What's wrong with a young girl being a little shy?
Su Wenqi was speechless. The shadow guard was wrapped up so tightly that only her two big eyeballs were still sticking out. What was she so shy about?
Actually, what I really admire about him is his aura; tall, long-legged, and aloof assassins like him are quite popular in novels. Let me briefly put myself in his shoes…
[I want to inherit my third uncle's Shadow Guard right now!]
Chiu Chiu looked at Su Wenqi with starry eyes: "I have a bold idea..."
Su Wenqi felt that Qiuqiu's idea was definitely very bold, but he didn't want to hear it now.
"Shadow Guards, step back!"
Before Chirp could even protest, the Shadow Guard vanished in a flash.
This is a master!
Su Wenqi thought to himself, "That goes without saying. These are all assassins I bought at a high price to retire from. I can tell whether they're good or not just by looking at them."
Feeling playful, Su Wenqi gave Qiuqiu a smug look, paying no attention to Wen Yue whatsoever.
When Wen Yue saw the Black Shadow Guard leave and saw that the other party was the third young master of the mansion, he knew that the people in Wen Yanghou Mansion must have known about what happened that year, otherwise they would not have caught up here.
Although they were still holding a child.
"Third Master, don't you want to know about your mother?"
Unfortunately, Wen Yue guessed wrong. The reason Su Wenqi appeared here was because his wife and Jiujiu were going out. As for his mother...
He knew that his eldest and second brothers were investigating something, and as long as they didn't tell Su Wenqi, he would pretend not to know anything, so Wen Yue had no bargaining chips in front of them.
"I don't want to know." His voice was flat and without any ups and downs, making it hard to tell whether he was happy or angry. If he had this free time, it would be more interesting to tease Jiujiu.
I wonder if my older brother would be willing to give Qiuqiu to him as an adopted child.
He didn't really care about Jiujiu, he just wanted Jiujiu to have a legitimate reason to inherit the Black Shadow Guard!
Wen Yue was greatly surprised. He had been lurking in the Wen Yang Marquis's residence for quite some time and had little contact with Su Wenqi. This man was a recluse and was said to be easy to get along with, but he did not have that feeling.
After his family's tragic death, he wandered to many places and witnessed the coldness and indifference of the world. Su Wenqi's gaze towards him was cold and empty, not because he was too kind-hearted to care about other things, but because he was indifferent and ruthless, and nothing could catch his eye.
"Third Master, don't you think there's something fishy about your mother's sudden change of mood?"
Su Wenqi nodded: "Now I understand."
Wenyue: "..."
A feeling of powerlessness, like a fist hitting cotton.
Su Wenqi kindly reminded him: "It's useless for you to tell me this. I'm not the one looking for you."
He is not a fool. His elder brother and father's attitude towards his mother changed drastically overnight. His mother must have done something unforgivable.
If you think about it more deeply, his illness and his second brother's childlessness may be related to his mother!
Wen Yue was puzzled: "The prince asked you to come and save me?"
Su Wenqi gestured with his chin towards Qiuqiu. He hadn't expected Qiuqiu to be so capable; she had actually led them to the person. He wondered how accurate her treasure-hunting skills were. He'd heard there were jade mines in the southwest; he'd take Qiuqiu there sometime!
Wen Yue misunderstood and was even more surprised, "It's actually the Third Madam!"
Liu Yueyao: "..."
She lifted Jiujiu up and faced Wen Yue: "Jiujiu is looking for you."
Wen Yue's heart sank. It seemed that they still didn't know what happened back then!
Chirp wiggled its little feet twice, its limbs flailing about. [Why aren't we interrogating him? Arrest him!]
Su Wenqi didn't expect that this little girl Jiujiu was quite capable. He waved his hand at the air and said, "Catch him and bring him back to No. 2 for interrogation."
In the blink of an eye, the shadow guard appeared behind Wen Yue and immediately dislocated his arm, rendering him unable to move.
Chirp: 【！！！】
[You were told to arrest him, so why are you still abusing him?]
She stared at Wen Yue's limp arms, then at the way he was practically rolling his eyes in pain, and couldn't help but shrink back. "It's...it's quite dangerous. Never mind, Uncle, you keep it yourself."
Even though she was a little koi, it would still hurt if the Black Shadow Guard punched her!
Su Wenqi: "Why did you break his arm when you were supposed to arrest him! Once you're in the Marquis's mansion, you're just ordinary bodyguards. Put away your old tricks!"
They said they wanted someone impressive, but they didn't say they wanted someone this impressive!
Upon hearing this, Thirteen raised his hand and snapped Wen Yue's arm back on.
Wen Yue's eyes rolled back, and he fainted from the pain...
Thirteen stared intently at Su Wenqi, nudged Wen Yue with his toe, and then guiltily looked away when no one moved. Turning his head, he met Qiuqiu's bright, piercing eyes. For some reason, he felt his career as a bodyguard was coming to an end!
Chuchu pointed with her chubby little hand: "Third Uncle, I want him!"
