Xiao Yan stood there without moving. He deliberately avoided thinking about A Lian. He planned to arrange someone to look after A Lian first and then interrogate her tomorrow. He was very tired today and didn't want to deal with A Lian.
Yun Chuxue heard the noise and looked over.
The first time A-Lian saw Yun Chuxue, she was stunned. Then she said vaguely, "It's you..."
Xiao Yan was furious when he heard this. He stared at Yun Chuxue suspiciously and asked, "How does she know you?"
Xiao Yan immediately imagined the scene where Yun Chuxue went to find A Lian with the airs of a young lady, and then arrogantly threatened her to leave him.
Yun Chuxue ignored A Lian and just glanced at Xiao Yan calmly: "You think too much."
Xiao Yan was sad and angry: How do you know what I am thinking?
Yun Chuxue didn't need to put on airs or act condescendingly in front of A-Lian. She just stood there casually. There was an insurmountable gap between her and A-Lian.
Yun Chuxue said calmly and gently, "You said you had a lover, so I went to see you a few times because I was worried. But I didn't bother you."
Xiao Yan was just about to retort, "You don't trust my sweetheart, do you?" But thinking about the result today, Xiao Yan couldn't say it.
Yun Chuxue said: "I originally thought that if it was really suitable, I would help my cousin fulfill his wish, but I didn't expect to see that there was something wrong with this girl." That's why today's arrangement was made.
"And then you hid in the dark and laughed at me for being an idiot, right?" Xiao Yan roared.
Yun Chuxue shook her head and sighed, "Why do you think so, cousin? I always want the best for you."
A-Lian stood three steps away, watching Yun Chuxue for a moment, then glanced at Xiao Yan before suddenly walking towards them. Yun Chuxue caught a glimpse of A-Lian's hand reaching for her sleeve, and her expression changed. Without a second thought, she grabbed Xiao Yan's arm, trying to block him.
Xiao Yan's reaction was quicker than Yun Chuxue's. He quickly retreated, hugging Yun Chuxue. Then, with a flick of his wrist, a silver light flashed, and a scimitar slashed towards A Lian's throat. It pierced her throat.
A-Lian fell to the ground, clutching her neck. The corners of her mouth curved in bitterness. Then she died without a word.
Xiao Yan only glanced at A Lian and turned his head away, but he stood there for a long time without moving, still holding Yun Chuxue in his arms.
Yun Chuxue didn't move either. After a long while, she asked curiously, "Cousin, are you crying?"
The sadness that Xiao Yan had just been brewing was instantly replaced by anger. He pushed Yun Chuxue away and said, "Look carefully, I'm a grown man, why am I crying for a woman?"
Yun Chuxue looked into his eyes carefully, then smiled and nodded: "Yeah, I didn't cry."
Xiao Yan was depressed.
Yun Chuxue glanced at A Lian who was lying on the ground and said, "Don't you want to see what's in her sleeve?"
Xiao Yan paused, then said, "Everyone is dead, what's there to see?"
In fact, with Xiao Yan's eyesight, he had already seen clearly what was in A Lian's sleeve when he used the scimitar for self-defense. It was not a murder weapon or a hidden weapon, but the jade pendant he had given to A Lian before.
However, Xiao Yan did not tell Yun Chuxue.
Xiao Yan thought that it was not bad for A-Lian to die at his hands. He was very accurate, and A-Lian should not feel pain when she died. Otherwise, no matter whether he could get information about her collusion with the assassin from A-Lian or not, A-Lian would never feel any easier than she did today.
