Fu Junheng held the woman tightly in his arms, his deep eyes unusually dark, and it was impossible to know what he was thinking at this moment.
He rested his chin lightly on the woman's head. "No matter what, I will never let go of you."
Mu Chenshuang replied calmly, "Being too possessive is not a good thing."
"I don't think it's a bad thing."
As darkness fell, Mu Chenshuang saw Fu Junheng off from the Marquis's residence and returned to her courtyard. Seeing Qi Ye, she asked, "How is Wei Xu?"
Qi Ye replied, "It's just a minor injury; I won't die."
"It's alright."
Mu Chenshuang was about to go back to her room when she suddenly remembered something, stopped, and asked, "Today you fought with the Dark Night Assassins. Was there anything unusual about that female assassin?"
Qi Ye was about to discuss this issue with Mu Chen Shuang when she said, "I think that woman seemed to know me, but then she said I wasn't that weak. I'm wondering if she really knows about my past."
Mu Chenshuang's expression darkened slightly. The female assassin must know Qi Ye. Qi Ye's current appearance is probably very different from what he should look like. In addition, he has lost his memory, so his martial arts must have weakened a lot.
But thinking about it carefully, the assassins from the Dark Night were already in the capital, and she might run into them again in the future, so there were some things she needed to clarify with them.
"Come with me!"
Qi Ye followed Mu Chenshuang to the study.
"What does Miss want to tell me?"
Mu Chenshuang looked at Qi Ye and replied, "Although you don't remember anything now, I know your identity. The black blade in your hand is the best proof of your identity. You are one of the four chief assassins of Dark Night, which means that you and the Blade who carried out the assassination today are of the same ilk."
Upon hearing Mu Chenshuang's words, Qi Ye's expression instantly turned serious.
"But I threw that sword into the dry well. The reason the female assassin didn't recognize you is probably because she thought you were indeed much weaker than before. But they might still have more doubts. However, I still don't know if you and the Dark Night Assassins are still on the same side."
Qi Ye's eyes showed a hint of seriousness as she asked, "If we're still on the same path, what would you do, Miss?"
"I don't care what kind of person you were before. Since you haven't regained your memories yet, I can pretend I don't know anything. The purpose of telling you this is just so that you can be mentally prepared when you encounter them next time. As for what you plan to do in the future, you can make your choice after you regain your memories. If you become enemies, then I will no longer have any master-servant feelings for you. If you choose me, I will do everything I can to protect your safety. So the final decision is in your own hands."
Qi Ye looked at Mu Chen Shuang with a firm gaze and said, "I will never betray you, Miss."
Mu Chenshuang smiled with relief, "It's too early to say that."
However, Qi Ye's eyes were unusually firm. "It won't be too soon. This is my decision."
Mu Chenshuang didn't say anything more, but smiled slightly, "Alright then, I'll believe you."
At this moment, in a secluded house in the northwest of the imperial city.
Ji Ying circulated her internal energy to regulate her breathing until her injuries stabilized. She slowly opened her eyes, her alluring pupils revealing a cold glint. She had truly underestimated Mu Chenshuang. She would definitely settle the score with her next time.
At this moment.
The door creaked open, and a red figure with waist-length black hair, a dragon-patterned jade pendant at her waist, and golden boots strode in, exuding a sinister and chilling aura.
Lou Ye walked up to Ji Ying, casually tossed a bottle of pills into her hand, and said in a cold tone, "Eat it."
Ji Ying gazed at the handsome face before her, glanced at the bottle in her hand, smiled, stood up, and swayed her hips as she leaned towards the man. Lou Ye reached out and pushed her away, his expression indifferent.
Ji Ying gave a nonchalant, flirtatious laugh. "You're still so boring. You really don't understand romance. I just wanted to thank you for saving my life."
If he hadn't appeared in time, she probably would have died at Fu Junheng's hands.
Lou Ye stood with his back to her, expressionless, gazing out the window. He asked, "Have you found Qi Qingye's whereabouts?"
Ji Ying poured out the pills from the bottle, put them to her lips and swallowed them, then replied, "Today I thought I had stumbled upon someone by accident, but now I think it wasn't. They probably just look a bit similar."
