"Tell me, did you see anyone passing by with a one-month-old baby?”
The cold wind whistled past, bringing with it a stinging sensation when it blew on people's faces. The warm blood melted the snow, and the cold killing intent enveloped the entire village. The sword chime reflected the cold light of the world.
The three assassins wore red ghost masks and stood in the cold wind. The bamboo hats in front of them fluttered in the wind. In front of them, more than ten villagers were gathered together. Their faces were deathly still, and they were trembling with fear.
There were a few people lying on the side. Blood flowed from their necks and their eyes were dull. They were clearly dead.
"Sir, we really haven't seen any babies. You must have found the wrong person. Please let us go…"
The man who was questioned almost begged. However, before he could finish his sentence, he fell to the ground with a flash of sword light. His eyes were wide open in fear. It was obvious that he did not die in peace.
Behind him, a woman screamed and went crazy, her eyes glistening with tears.
They were just ordinary farmers in a small village. Seeing the heavy snow today, they did not go out to farm. Unexpectedly, three killers suddenly barged in and asked if anyone had passed by with a baby.
However, how would they know about the baby?
"What about you? Have you seen anyone pass by with a baby?”After killing one, the Red Ghost Assassin went on to ask the next one. To him, killing an insignificant life was as easy as stepping on an ant.
The man who was asked was instantly shocked. His teeth were chattering as he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy." Sir, I have never seen any babies, but…"
The Red Ghost Masked Killer, who was about to attack, immediately stopped. His dark eyes lit up."But what?"
There seemed to be some hope.
Last night, the three of them had been ordered by Lu Buwei to look for the baby's body, but they had not found it when they reached the bottom of the cliff. It seemed that someone had rescued it, so they had been searching all the way until they finally found the only village ten miles away.
If they couldn't find the baby's body, they would have to bear the consequences.
Helplessly, he could only place his hopes here.
After all, the previous night had been extremely brutal, and they couldn't travel with the baby. The person who had taken the baby couldn't have gone too far, and they might even be passing by.
"That…that Old Woman Kui took in two young girls who were hurrying on their way last night and even asked me for a portion of goat's milk. I reckon that they brought a baby with them.”The man gulped and pointed at the silent old woman.
The latter had asked him for goat's milk in the middle of the night last night, saying that it was for the young girl who had come to stay for the night. He was not suspicious at first, but now he could only guess. He told her everything and used this to find a chance to live.
"Is what he said true? Where did those two girls go?" The Red Ghost Masked Killer immediately looked at the old woman.
"I did take in two little girls, but they didn't bring any babies with them. You can kill them if you want.”The old granny shook her head. She looked like an old well without any ripples. She was not afraid at all.
Although they had only spent one night together, she was very fond of the two women and did not want the latter to suffer because of this.
The two women and the baby should have a better future. She was just a dying person who was half buried in the ground. Moreover, these three people did not look like good people.
Hearing this, the Red Ghost masked killer snorted coldly and pointed his sword at the men, women, and children beside him."Old man, you are not afraid of death, but have you ever thought about them? Tell me, where did those two girls go? If they don't tell me, I'll kill them one by one.”
The old woman's expression changed.
……
……
"I'll be returning to the Yin-Yang School soon. I don't know how to deal with this little fellow.”
As they walked through the snow, Fei Yan held Zijin in her arms. Her beautiful eyes were smiling as she continued to tease the latter. She felt that his round and tender face was soft and adorable.
"What else can I do? Of course I'll take him in. Look at how cute he is.”Ji Yue couldn't help but squeeze Zijin's little hand. It seemed that she had fallen in love with him after just one night and didn't plan to give him away.
"Alright, I'll listen to you." Fei Yan raised her eyebrows and nodded slightly in agreement. Then she said worriedly,"It's just that I don't know if Lord Donghuang will agree.”
No matter what, everything in the Yin-Yang School was decided by East Emperor Taiyi.
" Don't worry. As long as we beg for mercy, Master Donghuang will definitely…" Compared to Fei Yan, Ji Yue was more confident. After all, Donghuang Taiyi admired them very much. Therefore, he would definitely agree to this request.
"Wait."
Before Ji Yue could finish her sentence, Fei Yan's pretty face changed. She suddenly stopped and narrowed her beautiful eyes.
As for Ji Yue, she seemed to have noticed something. She stopped smiling and stared ahead.
He didn't know when, but three assassins in black had suddenly appeared. They were holding swords and emitting a murderous aura.
The two women stared at the three killers with suspicion. After all, they had lived in the Yin-Yang School for a long time and had never made enemies. Few people knew why the killers suddenly appeared and seemed to be coming for them.
A thought flashed through their minds as they looked at Zijin in their arms.
Could it be…
Just as they were thinking this, the leader of the assassins suddenly spoke, which confirmed their thoughts.
"Put the child down and I can give you a quick death.”
Fei Yan and Ji Yue looked at each other as if they had heard something funny. Then they asked curiously,"Hehe, give us a more painful way to die? What a big tone. So, you're saying that you killed this child's family?”
However, the three killers did not respond. They just suddenly charged over with their swords. They were so fast that they were caught off guard. The sword qi enveloped the entire world.
"You have too many questions. Also, don't blame us for being heartless. You can only blame yourselves for saving someone you shouldn't have saved.”
The eyes of the three killers were cold. They didn't want to waste their breath. They planned to take action directly to avoid unnecessary complications. As long as they killed this baby, the mission would be over. As for who would be implicated, they didn't care.
However, when they were less than three feet away from the two women, they realized that the two women were not afraid. Instead, the corners of their mouths curled up slightly.
In the next moment, the blue light and golden light shone brightly. Their chests felt tight, and they instantly flew back.
"You guys!"
The three of them were a little stunned. How could these two women, who looked ordinary, be so powerful? They had never expected this.
