"You're courting death!"
It turned out that Zheng Zha had arrived in front of Liu Mingyue and was just about to make a move when Liu Mingyue suddenly opened her eyes and grabbed his neck with lightning speed.
Just now, she pretended to faint, but this lecher swept her whole body with an evil gaze. Liu Mingyue almost couldn't help but jump up. That gaze made her feel very uncomfortable.
Since he dared to covet her and was a lecherous person, Liu Mingyue would not waste any more time talking to him. With a twist of her right hand, Zheng Zha died on the spot.
Seeing this, the guards who were hiding in the dark rushed out, wanting to save their master. However, Liu Mingyue's movements were too fast for the guards to catch up.
"If I had known that someone was hiding nearby, if it wasn't for the fact that I was afraid that there would be traps or hidden experts here, that lecher would have taken the opportunity to escape through some secret passage. I wouldn't have pretended to be unconscious and let him get close.”
Thinking of this, Liu Mingyue frowned. With a wave of her right hand, she threw Zheng Zha's corpse at the guards in front of her. Then, she turned around and spat out the tea she had just drunk. The tea turned into four water swords and flew out.
When the four guards saw the young master's body, they immediately wanted to catch it. However, the force of the flying body was too great. Their martial arts were weak, so they could not catch it. The four of them were sent flying.
The four people behind Liu Mingyue saw the water sword coming at them and wanted to dodge, but their bodies were already off the ground and there was nothing nearby to use as leverage. With three " pu "," pu "," pu " sounds, three people were pierced through the heart by the water sword.
Only the butler who was the leader reacted slightly faster and met the attack with his palm. The water sword contained Liu Mingyue's high-tier internal energy, so how could the butler block it? It immediately pierced through the butler's palm. However, the power of the water sword was greatly reduced, and it only pierced through the butler's chest.
It turned out that when Liu Mingyue first met Zheng Zha's caravan, she had already noticed that something was wrong. Liu Mingyue had just repelled one person, and the men in black had decisively retreated. This was too strange. What was even more strange was that the caravan was unharmed.
The black-clothed men were not very skilled in martial arts, but the guards of the caravan were weak in their footsteps and their martial arts were even weaker. This strange behavior naturally attracted Liu Mingyue's attention.
When Liu Mingyue was traveling with the caravan, she noticed that the guards did not panic at all. Perhaps they were well-trained, but the guards did not seem to be alert to their surroundings, which was even stranger.
Moreover, when they arrived at the manor, some of the servants 'shoes were stained with mud. The courtyard was paved with marble, so where did the mud come from?
The whole thing was strange. When he thought about what had happened in Cangzhou recently, the result was obvious.
As for being knocked out by the knockout powder, it was all faked by Liu Mingyue so that when the enemy thought they were complacent, she could deliver a fatal blow. It was also to prevent any accidents from happening and allow Zheng Zha to escape.
When these butlers and guards rushed out, Liu Mingyue did not hold back either. It was not necessarily clear how clean their hands were when they were working under a lecherous person like Zheng Zha.
Seven of the eight guards had died. Three guards had been shot to death by the water sword, and four guards had suffered internal injuries from the force of the corpses. They were lying on the ground and wailing. Only the butler covered his pierced right hand and looked at Liu Mingyue in fear.
Hearing the commotion in the hall, all the servants in the manor rushed in with weapons in their hands.
The butler shouted," This woman killed Young Master. Kill her."”
The servants didn't know that Liu Mingyue's martial arts were strong and she often listened to the butler's orders. Now that she listened to the butler's orders, she immediately rushed forward. The butler himself was secretly retreating, planning to escape during the chaos.
Liu Mingyue saw it clearly. She jumped towards the housekeeper and hit the housekeeper's back with her right palm. The housekeeper was scared out of his wits and burst out with a shocking desire to live. He barely dodged Liu Mingyue's fatal palm.
Although he had avoided death, his right shoulder had been shattered by Liu Mingyue's palm that contained internal energy. The butler took a step forward and gritted his teeth in pain. He wanted to escape, but how could Liu Mingyue let him go? Another palm followed. The butler was no longer lucky. His heart was shattered on the spot and he fell to the ground dead.
"Miss, are you alright?"
Liu Mingyue had just finished dealing with the housekeeper when she heard the sound. She turned around and saw the two " tails " that had been following her all this while.
Liu Mingyue sighed slightly." These are the subordinates of that lecherous person. They might not be good people. Kill them all."”
He had just killed someone, and now he was casually deciding their life and death. Liu Mingyue wasn't a ruthless person who could kill decisively. However, these people were definitely not good people. Although there might be people who were oppressed, they had definitely done bad things and couldn't be left alive.
Perhaps there would be some innocent people who did not deserve to die, but if they were all arrested and interrogated, it would be very difficult to investigate. When their lives were threatened, they would definitely lie about their innocence. Therefore, Liu Mingyue sighed for these innocent people. It was not that she wanted to pity the state of the universe, but she just wanted to have a conscience.
Liu Mingyue and the two young warriors who were more powerful than the servants did not take long to finish them off.
Lu Ming came forward and asked with concern," Miss, are you alright? Senior Martial Brother and I were waiting outside and found that something was wrong in the manor. We were worried about you, so we rushed in.”
Lu Ming's face turned slightly red as he spoke. He was indeed an innocent young man. Normally, Liu Mingyue would tease him, but now that he had just killed someone, he was not in the mood. Liu Mingyue said softly," It's alright. This manor lord is the culprit behind the recent disappearance of the heroine. You'd better search the manor and see if anyone is imprisoned. If you encounter any who have escaped, all of them..."
"Kill them all." Liu Mingyue couldn't bring herself to say it. There were definitely some maids and servants in the manor, and they were basically all innocent.
Lu Ming could tell that Liu Mingyue didn't want to kill too many people. However, in the martial world, she couldn't hold back when she met an enemy." If you don't remove the roots, the grass will grow again when the spring breeze blows." However, if he did something that she didn't like in front of his sweetheart, it would be even more difficult for him to win her heart. He didn't know how to speak for a moment.
How could Liu Mingyue not know these principles? However, she was not born and raised here. Because of her previous life, how could she accept killing people so easily? Although she had killed many people just now, it was still difficult for her to accept it.
Seeing the two of them hesitate, Hu Chong said," If you don't make a decision, you'll only be disturbed.”
Liu Mingyue nodded gently. Then, the three of them split up and checked the manor.
Most of the people in the manor had died in the living room, so Liu Mingyue did not meet anyone along the way. However, she did not see any of the missing heroines after checking the rooms one by one.
Even though she was called a heroine, most people were just women who had just graduated and left the mountain. A heroine was just a title that Jianghu people gave to Jianghu women. It did not mean that a woman who had done chivalrous things was called a heroine.
"Junior brother, do it."
"Senior Brother, this is just a little girl.”
"Cut the weeds and remove the roots!"
" Senior Brother, I can't do it…I…"
"In that case, let me do it."
"Senior Brother…"
Hearing the sound, Liu Mingyue hurried over. When she reached the depths of the backyard, she happened to see Hu Chong swinging his sword to kill a little girl. Liu Mingyue subconsciously waved her sleeve and knocked Hu Chong's sword away. The little girl fell to the ground in fear.
Seeing the person who had come, Hu Chong ignored the sword on the ground and said in a deep voice," Miss, I didn't want to do this, but…"
In fact, Hu Chong had always wanted to let the girl go. However, there were some things that he had no other choice in Jianghu. If he didn't handle it well and the news was leaked, Zheng Zha's relatives, friends, or elders might find out about it. It was possible that trouble would befall him. This was the so-called " one can't help one's own actions in Jianghu."
Although what Zheng Zha did was bad, some people wouldn't reason with him.
The little girl saw her savior and quickly hugged Liu Mingyue's calf. She sobbed and said," Don't kill me. I'm not from the village."”
The little girl was about seven or eight years old. She was very cute and pretty. Liu Mingyue said gently," Don't be afraid. Tell me how you got here."”
The little girl said sadly," That bad guy passed by our village and saw that I was pretty, so he wanted to buy me from my parents. My parents didn't agree, so he…" At this point, the little girl started crying again.
Liu Mingyue picked her up and used her sleeve to wipe away the tears on the girl's face. The little girl then sobbed," He killed both my parents and brought me here. He said that he wanted to raise me and then take me as his concubine. When I didn't obey, he hit me. Sob…"
Liu Mingyue said to Hu Chong and Lu Ming," Alright, you guys go and look for her. Forget about this little girl."”
Hu Chong and Lu Ming turned around silently while Liu Mingyue continued to comfort the little girl.
"Still too kind?"
"Master once said,'Remember to keep your heart.' I finally understand.”
Liu Mingyue thought silently.
