The attendants around who brought us here were already screaming in shock.

"ah!"

I stood at the door, looking at the figures that appeared in front of me like ghosts, almost blending with the night, as if an insurmountable high wall was blocking my eyes, and my heart suddenly felt like I was sinking into an ice cellar, completely frozen.

Especially, when I saw the button slowly coming up from the shadows.

He bowed to me and said, "Madam."

“…”

"The young master knew that the wife was in a low mood tonight and would definitely want to go out for a leisure time, so I asked me to wait here."

“…”

"Madam, the young master will go to the inner courtyard to accompany his wife in a while."

“…”

"Please go back."

I clenched my fists tightly. The little bit of burning pain in my palm and the chill rising from the bottom of my heart intertwined, making my five-in-one suffering. It’s not that I didn’t know that Pei Yuanxiu’s imprisonment on me. He killed several groups of people who sneaked into the inner courtyard a few days ago. Tonight, he also sent those guards to let Caiwei follow me. But when he saw these people blocking my way like ghosts, the pain and helplessness turned into a black hand and strangled my throat.

At this time, Han Zitong also came up. Obviously, she didn't expect to encounter resistance here. She said in surprise: "Butu, you-you--"

"Miss Zitong," Butu said calmly without looking at her, "Young master already knows it, I hope Miss Zitong will not participate in this matter again."

"Can--"

"Miss Zitong, do you really want to be enemies with the young master?"

When she heard the word "being an enemy", Han Zitong was scared. In fact, based on her idea, she originally hoped that she would send me away without knowing it, so that she would not offend Pei Yuanxiu. After all, she never stopped thinking about Pei Yuanxiu, but after Caiwei's accident, the inside story of her involvement in this matter could not be concealed, but no matter what, it was impossible to say "being an enemy"!

Butu said the word "being an enemy" and made her retreat.

I stroked the door frame with one hand and supported my body with force. Seeing that there was a timidity on her face, I almost subconsciously took a few steps back. The guards behind her who had originally escorted us out now saw that their masters were like this, and they didn't dare to stand up, and they all retreated in fear.

I was the only one left, standing at the door.

One step forward is to walk; one step back is to go back.

If I take a step back, I will naturally return to the inner courtyard safely and continue to live the life I have lived before.

If I go further—

At this time, Butu took another step forward, almost walked in front of me, and said respectfully: "Madam, please come back." He was still kind, but under the dark sky, such kindness showed a bit of unspeakable hideousness in the bright and destructive lights around him, as if a beast, as long as I go further, I will swallow me.

If I go further - can I go?

I pinched the door frame hard, and slowly took a step forward under everyone's gaze.

Butu's brow also twitched slightly.

But no matter whether I took this step or retreated, I only made a choice at this time, but I couldn't help but choose. When I took this step and stood at the door, Butu sighed lightly and said, "Come on, please go home."

After saying that, he took a step back.

At this time, my heartbeat also became violent.

However, he took that step back and gave an order, but the guard who was standing closest behind him was motionless. His tall figure seemed to have been cast as if he had been imposed on a detent spell, and did not come immediately and "invited" me back to the mansion.

Butu immediately frowned and looked back.

In the night, the tall figure shook slightly, and I could see at a glance that a little cold light flashed on the man's chest.

Butu said, "What's going on? Why don't you hurry up--"

Before he finished speaking, he also saw the cold light and shaking unnaturally with the man, and immediately swallowed the unsent words.

Immediately afterwards, I saw the cold light on my chest suddenly disappear. The man's whole body trembled suddenly, and a red mist sprayed out from his chest. The tall figure fell down straight like a mountain sank!

"ah--!"

Everyone around was shocked and subconsciously stepped back.

A figure appeared behind that person.

However, before there was any time to see what was going on with that figure, it disappeared suddenly. Then, a guard on the other side let out a scream, but the scream suddenly disappeared, as if someone had just covered his mouth. Everyone hurriedly turned to look, but only saw a cold light flashing in his throat.

Suddenly, blood gushed, and the man fell silently to the ground, and he didn't even have time to struggle, so he ran across the body on the spot!

"Ghost! There are ghosts!"

"careful!"

For a moment, the whole scene was chaotic. The black shadow was like a real ghost, running back and forth in the dark night, coming and going without a trace. After a while, blood full of fishy smell flowed all over the ground, and even spread to my feet. The guards who blocked me fell to the ground with a few screams, turning into zombies!

But at this moment, I heard the screams behind me again.

Looking back, even the guards brought by Han Zitong fell down in an instant. One of them had his head cut off half, and the hot brain sprayed out, spraying Han Zitong all over. She screamed and fell to the ground and almost fainted.

These people were not here to stop me, but they were also killed!

The person who came was—

A figure flashed through my mind, and I was anxious. Seeing the ghostly cold light wandering again, this time the target pointed directly at the layout in front of me, I hurriedly took a big step and blocked him: "No!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a sword that shone with cold light and exuded a strong bloody smell stopped at my eyebrows.

The cold light almost stinged in my eyes, and I subconsciously closed my eyes.

When I opened my eyes again, the cold light still stopped at the center of my eyebrows, almost a slight distance, and was about to pierce my forehead. I even felt the blood flowing down the tip of the sword, falling directly onto my face, bringing a hot touch.

On the other end of the sword was a pale, rock-stable hand, holding the hilt tightly.

However, I couldn't see the master of this hand clearly because he was wearing a pitch-black robe from head to toe, completely integrated into the dark night around him. Only the surging murderous aura continued to emanate with the sword's edge.

My teeth were knocking, and after a while, I said, "Silent Young Master, please show mercy."

“…”

"These people are not tools you use to raise a sword."

“…”

As soon as he finished speaking, the sword paused for a moment, and then slowly picked up.

This is the sword-collection style of students from Xishan Academy.

Then, the dark figure slowly retreated and merged into the dark night around him.

At this moment, I heard Butu, who had stopped breathing behind me, breathed a long sigh of relief. He gasped and said, "Madam... Thank you, Madam."

I slowly turned around and looked at him.

His face was pale, no different from the frozen corpses on the ground. At that moment, he also realized that he was dead in a moment. If I had not blocked him, he would have been in a different position.

But, I didn't say anything, just took a step back.

At this time, another sound of footsteps came in the dark night.

The footsteps were more realistic than Xiao Wusheng's completely disappeared without a trace just now, and there was no sound. However, compared to the footsteps of ordinary people, they seemed lighter, and showed a hint of calmness in the lightness.

Then, I saw a young man with a jade face slowly appearing in the night.

"Miss."

"Young Master Yusheng."

The young man in front of him who looked more elegant in a jade robe was Xiao Wusheng's brother, the second-ranked figure in Xishan Academy, Xiao Yusheng.

As soon as I saw him appear, I almost subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, I have no way to control Xiao Wusheng. Killing or not killing is actually his interest, but Xiao Yusheng appears, at least this person is rational, and I have also found a person who can rely on.

I hurriedly stepped forward: "You are here."

"Well, Wuyin and I come to pick up the eldest lady."

As he said, he looked down at the corpses on the ground, and blood sprayed all over the ground. He couldn't help but frowned his eyebrows and said subconsciously: "It's coming again..."

However, before I could say anything, he had already raised his head and said respectfully: "It scared the young lady."

"No, it's okay."

"Let's go first."

He said, looking up inside, although his expression was still calm, his eyes flashed, and he said, "Stop being discovered by the people inside, it will be difficult to deal with."

I nodded quickly.

Although Xiao Wusheng's move just now was like Yan Luo, and even cruelly suppressed all these people, this place was Jinling after all, and it was the territory of Pei Yuanxiu and Han Ruoshi. Once the people inside were alarmed and surrounded by a large army, it would not be possible for Xiao Yusheng or Xiao Wusheng to solve it.

So I hurriedly turned around and wanted to leave with him.

But just as I turned around, Han Zitong's voice sounded behind me again—

"Yan Qingying!"

I stopped and looked back at her.

Her body was slowly covered with blood and brains that had just splattered, and her pale face and a panic expression looked very scary. At this moment, she saw me leaving, almost climbing the door frame to make herself stand up and said to me, "Are you really leaving?"

My breath sank and I looked at her silently.
