What are you trying to do! Jin Lan opened his mouth, but no sound of anger could be heard. His tender lips were covered by a thick palm the moment he opened them.

"Pfft!" With a light sound, Yan Ye groaned. He could not help but stiffen his body, and his arm that was supporting his body suddenly bent, almost pressing his entire body down on the person below.

Let me go! Feeling the two people's bodies tightly touching each other, Jin Lan was both embarrassed and fearful. He completely lost the calm and composed attitude he had in the past.

Her eyes were filled with a layer of mist as she struggled with all her might, trying to break free from his grasp.

Suddenly, a faint smell of blood entered her nose along with her breath. A trace of astonishment appeared on her angry face before it quickly turned into shock. She raised her head to look at the face that was not even half a foot away from her, almost touching it with her nose.

Is he hurt?

That person's scorching breath sprayed all over her face, and her eyes that were as black as ink were suffused with an unfathomable haze. She didn't relax even a little bit when she held down her body and mouth.

What was going on? Jin Lan's mind was in chaos. He had no time to react at all.

Suddenly, she felt the hand that was covering her mouth loosen as her waist tightened. The entire carriage seemed to have flipped over, and the jade plate that was embedded in the sky suddenly appeared before her eyes. She could clearly see the thick smoke that soared into the sky and the people that were still running away.

She … she was actually being carried by him!

Just as she was about to struggle for help, her gaze landed on the back of a shoulder on the other side. Surprisingly, there was a dagger that had almost sunk into her flesh. Her ash-green robe had already been dyed black.

That is … Blood! Her face, which had originally been suffused with a captivating red color due to shame and anger, instantly lost all color!

The soft and bright moonlight scattered down from the sky. Although it wasn't as bright as the day, it was still sufficient for one to clearly see their surroundings. The moment Yan Ye's figure flashed out of the carriage, it immediately attracted the attention of people.

"Over there!"

"Chase!"

With a few low roars, several black clothed men suddenly disappeared in the direction of Yan Ye with quick steps. Jin Lan, who was being carried on his shoulder and was about to puke, could even vaguely see the cold light flickering in their hands.

Yan Ye didn't head towards the direction where there were many people, but rather, he traveled through the dark alley just like when he came here. Perhaps it was because he was carrying the burden of Jin Lan, and because he was injured, his speed was obviously inferior to the black clothed man who was in hot pursuit.

Jin Lan saw the man in black slowly drawing closer, fear filling his clear eyes.

The dagger that was stabbed into his body and the nauseating smell of blood filled his nose, constantly reminding her that the other party was a group of people who would kill without blinking an eye.

Once he was caught, even he would not be able to escape unscathed, much less a weak woman like himself who was powerless.

Feeling the body on his shoulder violently trembling, Yan Ye's deep eyes flashed. Even though she was afraid, she did not scream out loud in panic, which surprised him.

After turning a corner, both sides had already reached a dead end. Facing the tall stone wall in front of him, Yan Ye's eyes did not show any signs of panic, but instead revealed a hint of ruthlessness. He endured the pain of his bones scraping and raised his hand to place his pinky into his lips.

The footsteps of the man in black, who was right behind him, suddenly slowed down. Jin Lan realized that there were more than a dozen ordinary dressed men fighting with the man in black in the alley.

Both sides held sharp blades in hand, so when their attacks clashed, there was no sound. Only when the blades sliced through the flesh would there be a groan. Although the figure that appeared afterwards had the advantage in numbers, he was clearly at a disadvantage. The black clothed man had almost easily cut down one person in a few moves.

Under the gentle white moonlight, the splattered blood was extremely shocking.

That inaudible scream had fallen into Yan Ye's heart, causing his usually cold eyes to turn completely red. These were all his trusted aides and brothers that he had brought out with him, who had gone through the cost of their lives!

Taking advantage of the time he earned with his life, Yan Ye casually picked a house that wasn't lit, a house that was completely dark, he kicked open the door, and threw the person on his shoulder inside.

With a "pa" sound, Jin Lan fell face down on the ground, completely exhausted. Fortunately, he had both hands on his back to support him, so he didn't fall into the mud. He only had enough time to hear his low voice, "Don't come out."

When she looked up, the door was closed before her eyes, and the sounds of fighting in the alley died away.

She rubbed her elbow against the ground, the intense pain jolting her out of her stupor. She finally let go of her breath. Jin Lan couldn't help but gasp for breath. His trembling hands pressed against his chest, as if trying to suppress his heart that was about to burst out.

However, his eyes touched the sticky blood on the sleeve and he couldn't help bending over to vomit.

"Ugh!" He vomited clean the dinner and also vomited out two mouthfuls of sour water. Finally, he managed to stop the nausea from his chest. His pretty face was battered and battered as tears streamed down his face.

Blood was dripping. The scene of flesh and blood flying everywhere had already exceeded the limits of what she could bear, not to mention the fact that those people who were still alive had just turned into a lifeless corpse in front of her eyes.

Jin Lan's nose twitched, and he covered his face with his hands. Yet, he couldn't stop his tears from rolling down, and a scorching heat seeped out from between his fingers. The tears fell one by one, wetting his dress.

She had only gone out with her mother to admire the lights. Not only did she run into some troubles, she also lost track of her mother. She was originally lucky enough to be saved, but now she was caught in a bloody hunt under the night sky.

Now, curled up in this pitch black room, she was at a loss except for listening and waiting outside.

The sounds of weapons clashing in the alley gradually lessened, but the smell of blood became stronger and stronger. It had already permeated into the house, making Jin Lan feel as if it was difficult to even breathe.

Her heartstrings had been taut the entire time. Upon hearing this commotion, she knew that the battle outside would not be going on for long. It was just that she did not know who would be the victor.

After some thought, Jin Lan used his other clean sleeve to wipe away the tears on his face. He forced himself to stand up, and with the faint light that seeped into the window, he was barely able to distinguish the direction.

Although she wasn't sure if the black-clothed men had seen Yan Ye leaving her in the house, she knew clearly in her heart that she didn't want to die!

Before he could get up to the corner, he heard a "Bang!" With a loud bang, the door was kicked open. A black figure covered in blood rushed in with his back facing the moonlight. The cold blade in his hand reflected a dazzling white light, sweeping across her terrified eyes.

Jin Lan's legs softened as he staggered two steps back. He held his breath as his heart pounded. Before he could even think, he had already turned around to flee.

However, the room was so big. She couldn't even run a few steps before she was blocked by the black clothed person who caught up to her after she adapted to the darkness.

Looking at the hand that was still dripping down, covered in blood, in front of his eyes, Jin Lan could no longer suppress the despair in his heart. He closed his eyes and let out a shrill scream, "No!"

The moment the last word left his mouth, the black-clothed man who was originally bullying him suddenly soared into the air. He was ruthlessly kicked to the side by the person behind him. Immediately, he let out an "Ah!", and let out a blood-curdling screech.

The expected pain did not come, and Jin Lan opened his trembling eyes, only after blinking a few times did he clearly see the situation in the room. The black clothed man who had grabbed him had already fallen to the side, completely lifeless.

A tall and straight figure stood in front of the door. Her back was to the moonlight, and her face and expression couldn't be seen. However, she could still see a few pieces of stone green on her almost dyed black robe.

"Yan, Yan Ye." With tears in her eyes and trembling lips, she called out his name for the first time with suppressed joy, just like seeing the light of dawn slowly rise in the darkness.

A complicated look flashed across his eyes that were hidden in the shadows. Perhaps, he shouldn't have … Suddenly, with a shake of his right bowl, the dagger in his hand whizzed through the air and went straight for the black clothed man who was originally lying on the ground.

"Ding!" A sound was heard, as if some sharp weapons had collided with each other. However, Jin Lan suddenly realized that a cold light was heading straight for her face!

In that instant, it was as if a root had sprouted beneath his feet. Jin Lan's pupils suddenly contracted, his shiny black eyes reflecting the approaching cold light. There was only one thought left in his mind: She will die!
