In the darkness, light flickered, and Yunmo's short figure was as unpredictable as a ghost. With each flash of light, blood splattered in his wake.
At the same time, disapproving voices were heard.
"Old Lu, you're so noisy. I could hear your dog barking all over the room."
"Heh, I think I've been interrupting your business."
Yunmo exploded, "Shut up, you stinking idiot!"
The others also leaped out of the windows one after another, appearing on the rooftop or eaves to intercept the assassins who, seeing the situation was not good, wanted to withdraw.
In the room at the far end of the second floor, Chu Liyue had already sat up against the headboard. Xiao Wujie, whose ears were covered by her, was still sleepy and had his brows furrowed.
