The other party seemed not to have expected that Xu Yuehuai was still awake. After realizing this, he immediately prepared to make a run for it. But how could Xu Yuehuai miss this opportunity? She took out her long sword and fought back and forth with the man in black in the house. When she met his eyes, which were as deep as the bottom of a pool, for a moment, Xu Yuehuai felt that the man in front of her wanted to die together with her.
The commotion inside was so loud that it quickly attracted the attention of Fu Ziyi next door. Fu Ziyi knocked on the door, and when no one answered, he pushed it open and entered. He saw Xu Yuehuai and the man in black leaping out of the window. His expression darkened, and without missing the fight, he followed them out. On the rooftop, swords clashed, producing a series of crackling sounds. Neither of them showed any intention of backing down, and the man in black had no intention of leaving.
The other five men in black, who were lying in ambush hoping to take advantage of the situation, couldn't help but rush forward to join the fight. They all had only one target: Xu Yuehuai. However, before they could even make contact with Xu Yuehuai, Fu Ziyi stopped them, saying, "What are you trying to do? A bunch of you bullying a little girl, aren't you ashamed?"
Fu Ziyi's tone was disdainful, but his eyes were more serious than ever before. There were many passersby below who thought it best to mind their own business when they saw people fighting above, and they did not want to get involved. Little did they know that the protagonist was Xu Yuehuai, whom they had been saying they wanted to protect.
When Baili Xiuwen came looking for Fu Ziyi, he found that Fu Ziyi was not there. Realizing that something was wrong, he searched for Fu Ziyi's whereabouts outside. When he saw Fu Ziyi, he was almost slashed by someone. Baili Xiuwen quickly used spatial magic to bring him out of that place, and said with disdain, "Are you trying to kill yourself? If you do that, who can beat you?"
The disdainful tone and manner of the voice made Fu Ziyi's expression turn sour, but considering that this person had ultimately come to save her, she didn't say anything too offensive.
The strength of these five people was not even on the same level as the other man in black. If they joined forces to cause trouble, Xu Yuehuai would not be able to defeat them at all. Fortunately, Fu Ziyi appeared and bought some time. Xu Yuehuai did not show any mercy and was decisive and serious when he attacked, without any hesitation.
The commotion was so loud that many people heard it and rushed over to see what was going on. When they saw Xu Yuehuai, many people couldn't stand still and stepped forward to help. For a moment, the scene was incredibly lively. Seeing that the situation was not good, the people on the other side picked up their weapons and turned to leave.
The remaining five men in black were not so lucky. Xu Yuehuai did not chase after him when he ran away. Instead, he looked at the other men in black. During the fight, the five men in black were injured and had no time to escape. In the end, they all died by the sword, which was a sad sight.
Everyone was happy to have defeated the enemy and protected Xu Yuehuai, which was the most joyful thing. Only Xu Yuehuai was not happy. Her eyes were filled with unprecedented solemnity. She called Baili Xiuwen and Fu Ziyi into the room. She did not notify the others. The others were all guarding the old valley master and could not be left alone.
The following places are dangerous, and the old valley master must always keep people by his side, otherwise if they discover anything dangerous, they will really have no way to explain themselves.
"What do you think?" Baili Xiuwen looked at the two of them, his face still grim. The three quiet people gathered together, and the air was heavy with tension.
Fu Ziyi didn't speak, but turned to look at Xu Yuehuai, waiting for her answer. "These six people weren't together. The one I fought was probably from another force. His strength far surpasses that of the ten people who tried to assassinate us before. Judging from the current situation, we'll likely face many assassination attempts on our way back."
Xu Yuehuai was very worried. Moreover, she had a premonition that Xiang and Xi'er were both after her. If she wanted to send the old valley master back safely, she had to split up with the others.
After she expressed her opinion, Fu Ziyi was the first to disagree, saying, "You said those people are after you. If something happens to you, who will be responsible? If we were by your side, we could at least help them a little."
"What are you planning to do by saying all this? Play the hero all by yourself? Let me tell you, don't even think about it. I won't let you succeed." Fu Ziyi spoke words of concern, but what came out of his mouth was a threat.
But everyone understood this in their hearts.
After Fu Ziyi finished speaking, another voice came from outside the door, "Young friend Fu Ziyi is right, girl. I am just an old man with a leg injury and I am getting old. I am not really useless, so you all have to take care of me. Besides, if those people are really after you, you should be with us."
Xu Yuehuai didn't understand, but she didn't intend to ask. The old valley master seemed to be playing dumb and didn't give a reason. Xuan Chi and the others looked at Xu Yuehuai with resentment. Linghu Zhou spoke first, "How about Miss Xu and I take another route and go separately? With me here, it will be much safer."
The old valley master never expected this taciturn man to say such a thing.
In reality, Linghu Zhou wanted to protect the old Valley Master from any harm, and at the same time, he didn't want Xu Yuehuai to be harmed either. This was the only way he felt was slightly more appropriate.
Nangong Yu was the first to disagree, "This is our senior sister. Even if someone is to protect her, it's not your turn. Besides, if our senior sister doesn't come with us and something happens on the way, who will treat Master Gu's leg? Are you going to do it?"
Nangong Yu's words silenced everyone. His words were quite powerful, and everyone immediately thought of the problem. After a bit of arguing, Xu Yuehuai decided to separate.
She and Linghuzhou took a different route, while the others took another. The others traveled a day ahead, while she and Linghuzhou set off on the second day. They agreed to signal each other immediately if there was any danger.
Linghu Zhou and Xu Yuehuai sat facing each other in the room. Xu Yuehuai drank her tea without looking at the man in front of her. The man said with a slightly embarrassed tone, "Will you blame me for saying and doing this?"
Xu Yuehuai looked up at him, puzzled. "What's it to you about?"
"It's my fault for disregarding your safety and insisting that you stay." Linghu Zhou pursed his lips, feeling somewhat guilty. Xu Yuehuai was, to some extent, his savior, but now he was putting his savior's life at risk for the sake of another benefactor.
