After all, he was a child at heart. He had walked so much during the day, jumping around so much that he had no time to rest. At night, he was supposed to stay in Qiqing's room, saying that he was keeping Qiqing's little treasure company. But before he could say a word, he fell asleep on the table.
There was a slight friction sound outside the window, and then a hollow bamboo tube was seen poking through the paper window and reaching in, followed by wisps of white smoke.
Qi Qing suddenly opened her eyes and turned to look at Xiao Bao, who had already fallen unconscious on the couch. Frowning slightly, Qi Qing walked over to the couch, reached out and gently touched Xiao Bao's nose, checking his breath, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Qi Qing's face turned cold, and with a sideways palm, he knocked the two people who had just climbed in through the window out. His body moved lightly. The dozens of people in the courtyard who were startled by the two companions who were instantly thrown out of the window had not yet recovered from their shock when they saw a figure in purple clothes, gracefully approaching, with a layer of frost on her cold and beautiful face.
The man in black looked at the girl in front of him, who was only fourteen or fifteen years old but had a stunning appearance. A trace of greed flashed in his eyes, and the lust on his face was undisguised.
He even thought that although the master meant to kill without mercy, he could still do something to him before killing him. Thinking of this, he gestured to the people behind him, and the men in black rushed forward.
As the murderous flute sounded into the inn's backyard, the face of the young woman standing there in the courtyard became deathly silent. Her slightly trembling eyes stained a crimson red as she stepped on the broken branches and debris that littered the yard and flew into the darkness.
"Riying, let me lean on you for a while... Hey! Are you dead? Can't you hear me calling you?" Looking at the man who was as thin as a wooden stake, the charming woman spat, twisted her body to get close to Riying, and lay on him softly as if she had no bones.
Riying's movement of slightly turning sideways stopped when he felt the trembling of the woman, Yueying from Pluto Pavilion.
Yueying smiled charmingly, coughed twice, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth: "Why, brother Riying is worried about me? Don't worry, I won't die."
He then focused his gaze on the two men facing each other in front of him, one in white and one in red. The man in white held a flute, his sound like a sharp weapon, and his figure was graceful. The man in red, who looked like a celestial being, wielded the Wandering Dragon Sword with masterful skill, exuding a murderous aura.
In the end, Riying and Yueying underestimated the enemy. They never thought that such a person who looked peaceful and without a trace of murderous aura, and as quiet and elegant as an immortal who practiced Taoism, could have such great destructive power.
Even the two of them couldn't defeat him together. Yueying was even seriously injured, and he was also slightly injured. He believed that if the Pavilion Master hadn't arrived in time, today's mission would definitely have failed. Thinking of this, Riying felt a little annoyed.
The white-clothed man, Yu Wuchen, though skilled, was no match for the assassin-turned-master of the Pluto Pavilion, Pluto. Such a monstrous being, and having previously fought against Sun Shadow and Moon Shadow, two of the most formidable members of the Pluto Pavilion, he soon became exhausted and found it difficult to cope.
The Hades sneered and thrust his sword at Yu Wuchen. Yu Wuchen's expression shifted slightly, and he raised his flute to his chest, attempting to block the Hades's sword. The Hades' eyes shone with sarcasm, and he switched from stabbing to slashing, snapping the jade flute in two.
Pluto sheathed his sword with his right hand and struck Yu Wuchen with his left, his expression determined to win. He then shifted his palm to the left, and his body followed suit, spinning twice in mid-air to avoid the woman who suddenly appeared behind Yu Wuchen.
After standing up, Hades saw the girl's face clearly, and his eyes flashed. He saw Yu Wuchen unnoticeably sideways, standing in front of the girl, and the murderous aura of the girl faded a lot the moment Yu Wuchen approached.
Hades's eyes swept back and forth between the two of them twice, with some profound meaning. Sun Shadow and Moon Shadow heard the sound and walked over to stand beside Hades. When they saw the girl's appearance, they were both surprised. "It's her!" Moon Shadow blurted out.
Then he exchanged a glance with Hikage, each of them seeing a hint of surprise in the other's eyes. Qiqing, however, seemed to have never seen such cold eyes before. After passing through Pluto, Hikage, and Moon Shadow, his gaze settled on Pluto.
The strange, indifferent look that seemed like something he had never seen before made Pluto squint his eyes unhappily.
With the experience from the previous encounter in the dense forest, Hades was extra cautious when facing Qi Qing, but also unusually excited. Sun Shadow and Moon Shadow also lunged straight at the severely injured Yu Wuchen, and for a moment, the situation was at a stalemate.
Just as Qi Qing and Hades had exchanged hundreds of blows, both of them becoming increasingly excited, several black arrows flew through the air and shot straight at Yu Wuchen. Yu Wuchen was already seriously injured, and now he had to face two masters, Sun Hidden Moon Shadow, alone.
Now, an arrow suddenly flew at him, imbued with his inner energy, and he was unable to dodge it, and was struck in the right shoulder. Seeing Yu Wuchen injured, Qi Qing's mind was unstable, and he attacked in a panic. He was entangled by Hades and the shadows of Sun and Moon, and was unable to escape.
A group of black-clad men emerged from the darkness and surrounded Yu Wuchen. The leader, clenching his fists, said to Hades, "Thank you for your help, Hades. We've taken the man away, and the remaining monies will be delivered to Hades' Pavilion later."
As he said this, he quickly left with Yu Wuchen, who was unconscious due to excessive blood loss. Before leaving, he took a deep look at the purple-clothed girl who was entangled by the three Hades and could not escape.
With a loud "bang", Riying and Yueying were blown away by a powerful internal force and fell heavily to the ground. After only a few hundred strikes, Hades and Qiqing were both shocked by the powerful internal force of both sides.
He looked around, and when he didn't see Yu Wuchen, a trace of confusion appeared on his desolate and indifferent face, and his figure disappeared into the night in a flash.
"Pavilion Master..."
Pluto stretched out his hand to interrupt Yueying and said, "Let her go."
Yueying said anxiously, "If she catches up..." It was obvious that those people, despite their excellent skills and even strict discipline, had no chance of winning against this mysterious girl who had fought their leader twice and was not inferior to him, in fact, even better.
"So what? If they catch up, then they catch up. Our mission has been completed and the people have been taken away by them. If they are taken back again, they will be useless to them. What does this have to do with us, the Pluto Pavilion?" Pluto snorted coldly.
Upon hearing this, Yueying revealed a devilish smile: "The Pavilion Master is right, but this little girl came from nowhere, she is so powerful," Yueying couldn't help but say.
Hikage added, "We have mobilized all the forces of Pluto's Pavilion, but have yet to find anything."
Interesting... A layer of strong interest appeared on Pluto's face.
