Wen Nongnong didn't dare to stop, giving the assassin no chance to catch his breath. She quickly ran over and knocked the assassin unconscious with the hilt of her knife.
Atuo Qingye was fighting three assassins at the same time, and was so busy fighting that he couldn't spare any attention for them. He could only watch helplessly as Atuo Jianghua was in danger.
At this moment, Atuo Jianghua was entangled by two assassins. At first, she was able to hold on, but as time went on, she was clearly losing ground. The whip in her hand was even cleaved in two by the assassin's sword. Just as the assassin's sword was about to pierce her vitals, at the critical moment, a steel knife suddenly pierced through the assassin's chest from behind.
The assassin stared wide-eyed in disbelief, slowly turning his head. Behind him stood a woman in a light green dress, her beautiful face now stained with a few drops of blood, exuding a chillingly alluring charm. He probably never dreamed that he would die at the hands of such a delicate-looking woman.
Wen Nongnong pulled the steel knife back.
The assassin's eyes bulged out, and he fell straight down.
His companions probably didn't expect him to suddenly collapse, and were stunned for a moment.
By the time he came to his senses, the half-whip in Atuo Jianghua's hand was already tightly wrapped around his neck like a snake.
Immediately afterwards, he was thrown into the air, his head slamming heavily against a rock, instantly bleeding profusely from his head and falling silent.
When Gu Linchao and the others arrived after hearing the sounds of fighting, they saw Wen Nongnong lose her balance and suddenly fall backward.
Gu Linchao was startled and immediately used his lightness skill to rush over at top speed, catching her as she fell.
Wen Nongnong's face was frighteningly pale, and her peach blossom eyes were empty and lifeless.
Gu Linchao's heart tightened, and he reached out to pat her face. "Nongnong, Wen Nongnong, how are you?"
Wen Nongnong suddenly started chattering, and after a long while, she stammered, "I...I killed someone..." Then everything went black, and she completely lost consciousness.
"Nongnong, Nongnong..." Atuo Jianghua ran over, worried sick, but just as she was about to touch Wen Nongnong's hand, Gu Linchao dodged it.
He wiped the bloodstains from Wen Nongnong's face with his sleeve, then picked her up in his arms. His icy gaze swept over the remaining three assassins, and his voice was menacing, "Kill them."
Si Yi and Wang Houde, who were already engaged in the fight, heard this and spared no effort, killing the remaining assassins in just a few moves.
Xiao Yan followed behind Gu Linchao, peeked at Wen Nongnong, whose face was as pale as paper, and said worriedly, "Could this girl have fainted from fright?"
Gu Linchao glanced at him.
He immediately shut up.
Gu Linchao didn't stop walking; he carried Wen Nongnong through the bamboo forest and into the carriage.
...
Wen Nongnong fell into a deep sleep and didn't wake up until the next day.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw several people gathered around her bed.
She blinked before she realized what was happening and exclaimed in surprise, "Father, Mother, Eldest Brother, Second Brother, Sister-in-law, what are you doing?"
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that she had woken up.
"You silly girl, you only killed one person, is it really necessary to be so scared that you fainted? You're really spineless." Wen Tingyun sneered.
But before he could finish speaking, he was struck on the head.
Wen Shiqing cursed, "Are you even human? Your sister was unconscious all night, and the first thing you say to her after she woke up is how you treat her?"
“That’s right, I think you’re the stupid one,” Madam Xu chimed in.
“You’re clearly worried about Nong Nong, yet you insist on saying things like that.” Wen Tingyun shook his head helplessly.
