"Fu Ying is still not back?"

Returning to her own courtyard, Mu Qianyu felt that something was amiss.

"Reporting to Master, there is still no news from Fu Ying."

An Xiang immediately appeared.

"Something's not right. It's been an hour."

Ye Zichen frowned. According to the time, something wasn't right.

"An Xiang, go take a look. If you have nothing to do, come back immediately. If you don't return within fifteen minutes, I will be there."

Mu Qianyu admitted that she was a suspicious person.

But sometimes it's also to avoid danger.

An Xiang followed along.

A quarter of an hour passed in the blink of an eye, yet he did not return.

"Something has happened."

Mu Qianyu's eyes became cold and she walked into the house. She quickly changed into a set of night clothes and headed towards Zheng Ji's study.

Even though the study wasn't very close to her courtyard, using Lightness Exercise, it wouldn't take more than fifteen minutes to go back and forth.

Fu Ying did not return for an hour, and she was worried that the two of them would be ambushed if she left and did not return.

As expected, when she arrived at the study room, she discovered that Fu Ying was already dressed in black, and his entire body was bloodied on the ground. His body was covered with wounds, and it was obvious that her injuries were not light.

An Xiang was entangled with others, but she could not hold on for long.

There were a total of ten people surrounding An Xiang, all of them with masks and extremely high level of martial arts.

As for the person leading them, his movements were extremely fast and his attacks were vicious.

Mu Qianyu squinted her eyes, and used three Snow Moon Silver Needles on the man's back.

However, she did not hold any hope.

This was because she was very clear on that person's strength.

Gu Zhao, the strongest general under Xiao Chengzhen, how could he be tricked so easily?

This move of hers, was just to distract Gu Zhao's attention.

Sure enough, when he felt the killing intent that suddenly attacked him from behind, Gu Zhao suddenly turned around, avoiding her crescent moon silver needles, the Longsword in his hands immediately thrusted over, he didn't even have the time to stop for a moment.

Mu Qianyu swung the whip in her hand, and another three Snow Moon Silver Needles shot out towards the people surrounding An Xiang. At the same time, she shot An Xiang a glance, telling her to bring Fu Ying away.

An Xiang did not stop there, her expression hesitating.

Mu Qianyu glared at her fiercely, her eyes filled with warning.

An Xiang could see through her intentions. If she didn't take Fu Ying with her, Mu Qianyu would definitely stop taking her in in the future.

Which master would want a disobedient Dark Guard?

But her duty was to protect her master, so this was a dilemma.

"Let's go!"

When Mu Qianyu and Gu Zhao met again, three more Snow Moon Silver Needles suddenly flew out, and shot towards An Xiang.

An Xiang immediately turned her head to dodge, she did not dare hesitate, grabbed Fu Ying, and swept away all the people that surrounded her, then left in a flash.

She wanted to settle Fu Ying before coming back to save her master.

"Mu Qianyu, it's really you?"

Covering his face, Gu Zhao's eyes shone with a cold light, and even his voice was filled with a sense of danger.

"So what?"

Mu Qianyu sneered faintly, the whip in her hand used every ounce of strength possible to slap Gu Zhao on the face.

She just wanted to kill that face.

"Those who hurt me will have to pay the price!"

His body rose into the air, whipping after whipping forward at an extremely fast speed.

However, whether it was in terms of strength or numbers, Mu Qianyu was at a disadvantage.

After over a hundred moves, he was already showing signs of being unable to endure.

Gu Zhao struck out with his palm, accurately striking Mu Qianyu's chest.

If she had not forcefully rushed into her inner force to block the attack, this palm strike would have crippled her martial arts.

Mu Qianyu held onto the whip tightly, he groaned, and her body fell down uncontrollably.

There was nothing in his head. His mind was empty.

However, just as she landed on the ground, a black shadow flashed by and firmly caught her.

That slightly cold aura caused her to wake up a little.

The man who held her was dressed in a dark, broad-sleeved robe. His face was covered with a black cloth, making it impossible to see his true face. However, his eyes were filled with a murderous intent that was as deep as a cold pool.

"Who are you?"

Mu Qianyu fiercely pinched her arm, she forced herself to wake up, she lowered her voice and asked with a face full of vigilance.

The person holding her did not answer, but the killing intent on her body became stronger, and when Gu Zhao flew up, she saw that he was holding Mu Qianyu with one hand, and then releasing a palm with an extremely strong killing intent.

That figure, that technique was exactly the same as the person from back then.

Gu Zhao was also injured by one of his moves. He knelt on one knee in a sorry state, supported himself with one hand, raised her head and coldly looked at him: "Who are you, to actually dare interfere with our business."

"Humph!"

The black clothed man snorted, full of disdain as he carried Mu Qianyu and activated Lightness Exercise to leave.

His speed was extremely fast and he disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"You are the person who stole my Soul Devouring Whip that day."

Just as he landed, Mu Qianyu pushed him away and questioned him coldly.

The black clothed man lightly frowned, and did not reply. He walked to Mu Qianyu's side, and the moment she opened her mouth, he had already reached out his hand to tap her sleeping points.

"Sigh."

Looking at the woman who had passed out in his arms, he could not help but shake his head: "When did my Xiao Yu become so unlovable, so fierce, and so stubborn? If I was a step later, would your little life still be there?"

Other than Yun Ting, who else could that incomparably handsome person be?

Yun Ting took out a purple colored medicinal pill from his bosom and fed it to Mu Qianyu.

He extended his hand and caressed her beautiful little face, and said with some heartache: "Xiao Yu, I will send you the Soul Devouring Whip very soon. Don't blame Brother Ting, alright?"

As he said that, he let out a heavy sigh, looked behind him, and snorted, "The crown prince actually dared to touch the person I, Yun Ting, want to protect. This debt, we will definitely settle it well!"

After An Xiang had settled down Fu Ying, when she returned, other than a huge mess and bloodstains, there was nothing else.

Seeing that, An Xiang who had an extremely good mentality almost fell down from the tree. Could it be that Master had been captured by them?

An Xiang decided to save Mu Qianyu.

After giving it some thought, he went back to notify Yue Zhu and told her to look for Prince Li while he went back to save the person.

However, when she returned, she discovered that Mu Qianyu had returned safely, and just that she was unconscious.

Yue Zhu and Yue Ying were in a hurry, they did not know if they should call a doctor.

"No need, master is fine."

As a Dark Guard, An Xiang was almighty, she understood a bit about everything.

She discovered that although Mu Qianyu had been hit by her palm, she had already taken the medicine, so she should be fine in a few days.

As for the coma, someone had pointed it at his sleeping point and he would wake up tomorrow.

She wanted Mu Qianyu to have a good rest and did not help him to clear her acupoints.

It was only on the second day, late in the morning, that Mu Qianyu finally woke up.

His head was dizzy and his chest was in pain. He could almost pull the wound apart if he moved.

"How did I get back?"

Mu Qianyu struggled to sit up, and looked towards Yue Zhu who was serving at the side.

Yue Zhu gave her some warm water and shook her head: "This servant doesn't know either. This servant only heard movements in the house, and came in to see that young miss had already returned."
