Jing Zhi was stunned, and even the gluttony that had been aroused seemed to fall back into her stomach. Her eyes were full of evasion. Although she had heard a lot of rumors in recent days, she still didn't think about it that way.
If she stays here, she will always be a burden to Shen Mo.
Having already decided to leave on a dark and windy day in January, Jing Zhi's eyes were full of sadness, and the meal tasted bland.
After Shen Mo fell asleep, Jing Zhi took out a note that had been written long ago from her sleeve, quietly pressed it with the cup, then squatted down, gently kissed Shen Mo's lips, and then left reluctantly.
The boundless night was like thick ink painted on the sky. She carried a bag on her back, not knowing where to go or where she could go. Every step she took seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and she couldn't bear to leave.
But in order not to drag down Shen Mo and the people in the village, she had no choice but to leave. However, when she walked out of the village, she caught a glimpse of a dark shadow following her quietly. If it were not for the moonlight that lengthened the man's figure, she would not be able to see it at all.
The dagger slipped quietly from his sleeve, and then he heard the shadowy figure say respectfully, "Third Miss! It's me, Ye Li."
Jing Zhi turned around, her trembling shoulders showing that she was not calm at the moment. She opened her thin lips slightly and said angrily, "Ye Li... Who is Ye Li? I don't know him."
Ye Li's excited eyes flashed with ruthlessness, and he said, "Third Miss, are you really not going to avenge the master and the young master?"
This was the last straw that broke the camel's back. Jing Zhi collapsed to the ground, unable to hold on any longer. She said miserably, "I want revenge, but how can I do it?"
A century-old foundation was destroyed in an instant. Isn't she in pain? However, she has to live for the Jing family. As long as she lives, there is hope.
Talking about revenge now is nothing but a moth flying into a flame.
Ye Li extended his hand, a hint of hostility flashing across his eyes, but he still looked extremely respectful. He said, "Third Miss, I have already contacted my old subordinates in Lingnan. As long as Third Miss gives the order, we subordinates are willing to sacrifice our lives for the Jing family! Even to the death!"
Ye Li's words were exciting, but Jing Zhi clenched the dagger in his hand and smiled coldly, "Who are you?"
The old subordinates in Lingnan...had long been moved to Kyoto, which was why Jing Zhi became confused.
Ye Li said viciously, "Since Miss Jing San is so ignorant, then there is no need for me to be gentle with her."
All he saw was Ye Li tearing off the human skin mask under the faint moonlight. The face inside was as ugly as ever, even with some hideous scars. Jing Zhi knew this man. He was the Jinyiwei who killed his elder brother and father.
She knew that she was no match for the Jinyiwei, so she hurriedly threw the bag at their faces and ran deep into the woods.
However, she had never practiced martial arts, so how could she outrun these well-trained Jinyiwei?
Soon, she stopped due to exhaustion, dug her nails into the bark, breathed in the air in big gulps, and quickly thought of how to deal with the situation.
It must be someone in the village who leaked the news.
The Jinyiwei were getting closer and closer. Jing Zhi raised a bleak smile on her lips, and the dagger in her hand was still pointed at the Jinyiwei. Like an angry little lion, she said, "Sir, I know I can't beat you, but before I die, can I know who is the mastermind behind this?"
