This time, it seemed that they had come prepared and had been waiting for Mo Shangqiu and Mo Qingwu for a long time. Mo Shangqiu pursed her lips without saying a word. In a flash, she flew away from the horse. He landed in the encirclement of the men in black and started the battle at lightning speed.
The men in black weren't weak either. Just as Mo Shangqiu left the horse, they split into two groups and attacked separately.
Mu Chuxue didn't dismount. Her long whip wasn't suitable for close combat. She could only sit on the horse's back and brandish her whip. Fortunately, most of the men in black were attacking Mo Shangqiu, which made Mu Chuxue feel a little more relaxed.
The target of the black-robed man was Mo Shangqiu, and every move he made was aimed at Mo Shangqiu's vital points. Mo Shangqiu wasn't afraid of the sword in his hand as he neutralized the moves of the black-robed man...
Mo Shangqiu snorted. The flexible sword in her hand was like a snake with a soul, coiling around the sword of the black-robed man. With a slight movement of her finger, the flexible sword accurately sliced open the black-robed man's throat.
One of the men in black fell to the ground and Mo Shangqiu attacked the rest of the men in black. A sword was stabbed at Mo Shangqiu's back, just a few dozen centimeters away from him. Mo Shangqiu seemed to have grown a pair of eyes on his back as his flexible sword wrapped around the black-robed man's sword.
The tip of the sword sank into his body. The black-robed man lowered his head and looked at the sword in his body. He did not have time to think about how Mo Shangqiu pulled out the flexible sword. He was dealing with the man in black again.
As the men in black fell one by one, there were not many men in black left on Mo Shangqiu's side, while only a few men in black beside Mu Chuxue died. Upon seeing this, Mo Shangqiu's sword became faster and faster. The sword in her hand danced in the air.
He made a false move to lead people astray, and then mercilessly targeted the black-robed man. Mu Chuxue alone was not a match for these assassins. These assassins were professional killers, cold and ruthless.
Mu Chuxue was dealing with one of the men in black, while the other men in black attacked her vitals together. Mu Chuxue didn't have time to dodge and a few silver needles flew towards her. However, it was stabbed into the throat of the black-clothed man. The black-clothed man wanted to struggle.
The silver needle was coated with poison, and it spread as soon as it entered the body. It was useless for the man in black to struggle. He closed his eyes and fell beside Mu Chuxue.
Mo Shangqiu retracted her gaze, her entire body emitting an icy cold aura. Mo Shangqiu threw the flexible sword in her hand into the air and flew away from the encirclement of the men in black.
She opened her red teeth and chanted something. The soft sword flew towards the man in black as if it had a life of its own. The black-robed man dodged the attack of the flexible sword in shock. Mo Shangqiu smiled evilly when she saw this.
The flexible sword spun at high speed in the air, and the black-robed man's gaze did not have time to capture the sword shadow. He felt his throat tighten. He looked down and saw blood spurting out of his throat. His eyes were wide open as he fell into a pool of blood.
Mo Shangqiu grabbed the flexible sword and jumped away to help Mu Chuxue. Even though Mu Chuxue was entangled by the men in black, she did not miss the scene of Mo Shangqiu killing someone.
She was extremely shocked. She had never expected Mo Shangqiu to be so powerful. She did not seem to understand Mo Shangqiu at all. While she was distracted, Mo Shangqiu had already helped her deal with several men in black.
The two of them worked together to finish off the remaining men in black in the time it took to brew a cup of tea. They looked at the bloodstains on the ground and the men in black who had fallen to the ground. Slightly adjusting her breathing, Mo Shangqiu kept her flexible sword.
Mo Shangqiu's hands were placed in front of her chest, constantly changing their positions. A purple light bloomed, shining on the ground and invading the black-robed man's body.
As the light grew stronger and stronger, Mu Chuxue could not open her eyes. She used her hands to block the light. Mu Chuxue only opened her eyes after the blinding light faded.
They looked at the scene on the ground in shock. The men in black on the ground were rotting at a speed that the naked eye could not capture.
Mo Shangqiu was surrounded by a layer of faint purple radiance. She had a smile on her face, but that smile made people shiver uncontrollably. At this moment, Mo Shangqiu was a demon from hell. No one should touch her wings. If they were careless, they would fall into the abyss and die without a burial place.
By the time the light on Mo Shangqiu's body faded, the corpse on the ground had also decayed, leaving only a pool of blood.
Mu Chuxue had yet to recover from her shock when Mo Shangqiu walked over and gave her a light pat. Mu Chuxue reflexively moved a few steps away from Mo Shangqiu. Mo Shangqiu did not explain and got on his horse to wait for her.
Mu Chuxue obediently followed Mo Shangqiu's footsteps and got on the horse's back. She did not speak again on the way.
Mu Chuxue mocked herself," The first time she met Mo Shangqiu, she even thought that she was the one who saved Mo Shangqiu. In fact, she didn't even care about her kindness. She recalled that Mo Shangqiu did not thank her for helping her back then. That forced thank you had deeply provoked Mu Chuxue. At this moment, Mu Chuxue felt that she was extremely stupid.”
Mo Shangqiu didn't care what Mu Chuxue thought of her. If she could accept it, then so be it. She, Mo Shangqiu, had never needed others to understand her, and she did not need so-called friends.
The two of them were clearly fine, but because of this incident, there was a gap in their hearts. Mu Chuxue felt inferior, while Mo Shangqiu started to distance herself from Mu Chuxue due to Fan Xiaoxi's influence.
On the same day that Mo Shangqiu was assassinated, someone had also sneakily attacked the Fifth Prince, Xuan Linyu, who had returned to the capital.
For more than half a month, Xuan Linyu worked tirelessly to settle the disaster victims. Seeing that the situation had improved, he decided to return to the capital to report.
After a day of traveling, they had no place to stay at night and had to sleep in the wilderness. However, he did not expect to hear someone shouting about catching an assassin just as he turned off the lights and went to sleep. Helplessly, Xuan Linyu could only put on his clothes and get up to walk out of the tent.
There were quite a number of assassins who had already killed several guards and barged into Xuan Linyu's camp. Xuan Linyu made a gesture and a group of hidden guards surged out from the darkness.
The assassin was shocked. He did not expect Xuan Linyu to bring a hidden guard with him. The situation did not allow the assassin to think too much. The situation immediately reversed once the hidden guards appeared. Xuan Linyu was unwilling to let the assassin retreat.
"Leave no survivors!" A cold voice sounded, and the hidden guards 'blood boiled.
This was the first time they were executing an order, so they naturally couldn't allow themselves to fail. After hiding in the dark for so many years, he finally had the chance to show off his skills. The secret guards were all on steroids, and in less than fifteen minutes, they had finished off all the assassins.
Xuan Linyu smiled in satisfaction. With a wave of his hand, he turned around and left. The moment he turned around, the hidden guard disappeared from where he was.
The night was finally peaceful. He had returned to the capital and encountered an assassin. It was obvious that it was the Crown Prince's doing. Only the Crown Prince did not want him to return to the capital to fight for the throne with him.
Mo Shangqiu and Mu Chuxue finally arrived at Xuanlin Country on the day before the Martial Arts Circle Convention. Mo Shangqiu originally wanted to find an inn to rest. She had no intention of returning to the Duke's Public House. It would be easy for her to go back and come out again. Who knew how many pairs of eyes were watching her?
However, what made them speechless was that the few inns they found were all full. Mo Shangqiu was furious. Indeed, there were too many people attending the Martial Arts Circle Convention. It was not easy to find a place to rest.
Mo Shangqiu and Mu Chuxue had no choice but to seek refuge with Ye Wushang. After all, he was the only person Mo Shangqiu trusted in Xuanlin Country. Mo Shangqiu was thick-skinned and called the servant to inform him.
When Ye Wushang found out that there were two ladies looking for him, he did not even think twice before he determined that it was Mo Shangqiu and Mu Chuxue. When he received the news, he quickly went to the door of the mansion. From afar, he saw the beautiful figure that kept appearing in his heart. The corners of his mouth curled up into a perfect arc.
"Shang Qiu." Ye Wushang's brisk voice pierced through the sweltering summer heat as he walked towards Mo Shangqiu with light steps and a vigorous posture.
His four eyes were smiling and everything was rippling in silence. Ye Wushang was very happy that Mo Shangqiu would take the initiative to look for him. When he found out why Mo Shangqiu was looking for him, the smile on his face widened, almost blinding the butler.
Ye Wushang invited Mo Shangqiu and Mu Chuxue into the residence and instructed the butler to tidy up the room in the west wing so that Mo Shangqiu and Mu Chuxue could rest for the night. After tidying up, the butler eagerly asked Mo Shangqiu if she still lacked anything and immediately filled it up.
Mo Shangqiu was puzzled by the butler's solicitous appearance, so she could only kindly say that there was no need and went to her room to rest. Mo Shangqiu's body was exhausted after traveling for several days, and she had obviously lost a lot of weight.
Ye Wushang instructed the kitchen to brew a few nourishing soups. During dinner time, everyone at the table sized up Mo Shangqiu from head to toe. Ye Wushang's parents were very curious about the two ladies who had suddenly appeared in their residence.
No one told them that Ye Wushang had brought back two girls, and Liu Yunqi was still locked up and couldn't go out. Otherwise, they would have known what Ye Wushang had done. Ever since Ye Wushang returned to the residence, the entire Ye residence had been reorganized by him from the inside out. All the spies planted by his side had been removed and replaced with his own people.
The two elders of the Ye family were losing their status. If it wasn't for Ye Wushang's elder brother backing them up, the two elders might have been chased out of the Ye residence. As Ye Wushang's elder brother was always out doing business, he rarely returned home and naturally didn't know about the recent situation in the Ye residence. Ever since Ye Wushang had cleaned up the clan, the scouts had been unable to pass on the situation of the Ye clan to Ye Ye Wushang's clan.
When Ye Wushang saw his parents sizing up Mo Shangqiu, his face turned cold as he looked at the old man. "This is my friend. He will be staying for a day before leaving.”
The two men from the Ye family looked at each other. Their deep eyes could not tell their emotions. "Young Lady's dishes are light, I hope you don't mind.”
Mo Shangqiu nodded in response to the two elders. She didn't dare to cause trouble with Ye Wushang. She could see that Ye Wushang and the Ye family seemed to be estranged again. It was better to be careful with what he said at this time.
The people at the table no longer spoke and lowered their heads to eat. Occasionally, their gazes would also shift away silently. Finally, they finished their dinner under the low pressure and left their seats. Ye Wushang brought Mo Shangqiu to stroll in the back garden. Mu Chuxue felt tired and did not follow.
Actually, Mo Shangqiu knew that Mu Chuxue was distancing herself from her. Perhaps she had not accepted her yet. Mo Shangqiu did not put herself in a difficult position and let Mu Chuxue do whatever she wanted.
The two of them strolled in the garden under the starry sky, smelling the faint fragrance of flowers as they surrounded the two of them. In the quiet night, there was an indescribable atmosphere. The two of them sat in the pavilion for a while. After eating some fruits, Ye Wushang considerately asked Mo Shangqiu to return to her room to rest.
The next day, Mo Shangqiu and Mu Chuxue woke up early. Ye Wushang had already instructed the kitchen to prepare breakfast. After breakfast, the three of them calmly went out of the city gate to the Zixia Villa on the five-mile slope outside the city.
Today, the entire Purple Glow Manor was surrounded by people. As it was a public competition, they did not have any identity or authority. Anyone could observe the Martial Arts Circle Convention. The previous Martial Arts Circle Alliance Master sat at the main seat. He swept his gaze across the crowded courtyard and revealed a subtle smile.
