Deng Fan shook his head, and said: "Being in the martial arts world, one is helpless. As long as you don't kill any innocent people, I will support you. "
"You know me. You know I wouldn't kill innocent people." Du Xue said.
Deng Fan nodded, he slowly walked towards Du Xue and pulled her into her embrace, "If I don't believe you, then you won't agree to stay here and help you. You have just ascended the throne, you will definitely encounter a lot of resistance, but don't worry, I will face it together with you, and settle it together."
"Thank you …" Du Xue expressed her gratitude as she leaned her head against Deng Fan's chest and slowly closed her eyes.
After many days, Deng Fan was still unable to find the key memories. He would often stare at the unique Lucky Coin in his hands, trying hard to remember something, but to no avail.
He had sent someone to investigate the origin of the coin, but no one knew where it came from, nor had anyone seen it. It was because this coin was so unique that Deng Fan believed that this was the key to unlocking the mystery of his life. As long as he understood the origin of this coin, he would know what profession he had been in and did before.
He was no longer afraid of getting his memories back, but was eager to get them back. He did not want to be a person without a past. Although many memories might not be good, it was better than nothing. Any normal person would have memories of the past. It was painful to have no memories, no matter how terrible the past was, no matter how scarred he was in the past, he still wanted to know.
Just who injured me? Who is the woman who pleaded for me? Why did I come to this place?
Many doubts filled Deng Fan's heart, but he firmly believed that one day, he would resolve them one by one.
One night, before Du Xue went to sleep, she suddenly said to Deng Fan: "Tomorrow is the day of death for Uncle Xian, I'm going to the countryside to pay my respects to him."
Deng Fan was surprised, and immediately asked: "Do you need me to accompany you?"
"No need, I will go with Brother Yi." Du Xue said.
"Alright, you guys have to be careful." Deng Fan said.
"Yes, we will."
At noon on the second day, Zhou Xin drove Du Xue to the outskirts of Uncle Xian's hometown.
The car was moving at a steady pace along a forest path when it saw a log blocking its way.
Zhou Xin had no choice but to stop the car, and then said to Du Xue: "Wait for me here, I'll go and move the wood away."
Du Xue nodded and did not say anything else.
After Zhou Xin got off the car, he spent a lot of effort to move the heavy wooden log away. Just as he was about to return to the car, he suddenly heard ear-piercing female laughter coming from an unknown direction.
In this wilderness, it was hard to tell where the sound was coming from.
For a moment, it was as if the entire forest was filled with laughter!
Zhou Xin felt a tingle on his back and could not help but shiver.
He immediately took out his handgun, looked around and said, "Who is it, don't be sneaky, quickly come out!"
At this time, Du Xue was worried about Zhou Xin's safety, so she quickly got off the car.
"Sister Xue, hurry and get back to the car. This place is dangerous!" Zhou Xin anxiously waved and called out to Du Xue.
Just as she finished speaking, a black figure suddenly descended from the sky, and landed right on top of Zhou Xin's head.
With a "clap" sound, the masked man knocked Zhou Xin down to the ground.
Seeing that, Du Xue was shocked, seeing that Zhou Xin was lying on the ground, and did not know if he was dead or alive, he did not know whether to go up to save him or to escape.
The man in black's target was obviously him. If he went up to save her, he would definitely be caught on the spot. Turning around and returning to the car seemed to be the most sensible decision.
In times of crisis, the choice is often made not by rational thinking, but by instinct.
Those who were afraid of death would instinctively choose to protect themselves, but Du Xue was obviously not such a person.
Although she hesitated for a moment, she did not return to the carriage, because she would not abandon Zhou Xin and escape on her own.
"What do you want?" Du Xue stared at the black clothed man and mustered up his courage to ask.
Even if this masked man did not say anything, he could immediately recognize that she was a female. Her curvy body wrapped in a set of tight black clothes appeared extremely sexy. After hearing his words, she fiercely said, "You killed my foster father, I will make you pay with your blood!"
"Who's your foster father?" Du Xue seemed to have already guessed a little.
"Duan Wuxie!" The man in black said.
"He deserved to die!" Du Xue said firmly, without a single trace of fear.
"I'll send you down to repent to my foster father right now!" After the black-clothed man finished speaking, she slowly approached Du Xue.
Du Xue knew that she was powerless to fight against this black-clothed man, so she could only run, or else she would just sit there and wait for death.
She was about to turn and open the door when the man in black stopped her.
The black clothed man held onto the door tightly as Du Xue pulled forcefully, the door did not budge an inch.
Du Xue wanted to turn around and run, but the black clothed man slapped her hard, knocking her to the ground.
"I'll give you a minute. Just run as far away as you can." The black-clothed man looked down at Du Xue condescendingly, and said faintly: "I really enjoy the pleasure of hunting this kind of prey."
Du Xue had no choice but to retreat quickly.
She didn't dare look back, because if she did, she would definitely slow down, and she would have to race against time to get as far as she could. She would only be saved if she ran as far as possible to where there was smoke.
However, the forest was very big, and it would take at least half an hour to run out on foot. A minute was not enough for Du Xue.
Where in the world would there be people like this?
If not for paying respects to her good uncle, Du Xue would never have come to this place.
If she could not escape this calamity today, then this forest might be her burial ground.
Du Xue kept on running, kept on running, and did not know how long she ran. She kept on running, and only when her vital energy was insufficient did she stop to hold onto a tree trunk, gasping for breath.
At that moment, the harsh laughter rang out again.
Du Xue did not expect the black clothed man to catch up so quickly. Just as he was about to continue running, a shadow flashed and a black clothed man appeared in front of him.
The black clothed man had clearly already been waiting on the tree for a long time, but Du Xue didn't notice in the slightest.
"With your speed, it would be a waste of time even if I were to give you another hour." The black clothed man stared at Du Xue and said, "That's why I've decided to kill you now."
When Du Xue saw the black-clothed man, she immediately took a few steps back instinctively. She then lightly lifted her skirt and pulled out a sharp knife from the right side of her thigh.
She had brought this blade with her for self-defense. It was a treasured blade that could slice through metal like mud.
"Hur Hur Hur!" The man in black suddenly laughed, "Are you planning on using that blade to deal with me? Or was it meant to be used to commit suicide? "
Without saying a word, Du Xue clenched her blade tightly, the blade tip aimed at the black clothed man, and thrusted forward.
"Stupid woman!" The black clothed man stared angrily, then skillfully used his bare hands to grab the white blade, and easily snatched it away from Du Xue.
Du Xue still didn't know what had happened, but in the next moment, her neck was grabbed by the black clothed man. The sharp blade was right in front of her face, if she moved even a little bit, her appearance would immediately break.
Women tend to value their looks more than their lives, especially beautiful women.
Du Xue was not only a woman, she was also undoubtedly an extremely beautiful woman.
Therefore, she didn't dare to move. Even if she died, she hoped that death would make her feel better.
"You did remind me." The black clothed man used his blade to lightly draw a few lines on Du Xue's face, "Before I kill you, I will use my blade to carve a few words on your face, isn't that more interesting?"
"I have nothing to say since I've fallen into your hands today. If you want to kill me, kill me. There's no need to say anything more." Du Xue said angrily.
"Are you really not afraid of death?" The black-clothed man originally wanted to scare Du Xue first, but he didn't expect that he didn't succeed. He couldn't help but feel a little angry.
"I just don't want to beg for mercy from Duan Wuxie's lackey." Du Xue said.
"I forbid you to insult my foster father!" The black clothed man looked excited as he shook the blade in his hand.
"You're a father to a thief, so you aren't anything good!" Du Xue said.
"Treat him as a thief as a father?" "When I was abandoned on the streets like a dog, it was my foster father who took me in, trained me as an adult, and found people to teach me martial arts. The reason why I was able to live up to now was all thanks to my foster father, and even if he was a thief, he was still a hundred times better than those passersby who did not save me from death!"
"He's just using you." Du Xue said.
"Shut up!" The black clothed man was furious. He suddenly turned around and pressed Du Xue to the tree trunk, then used one hand to pinch her neck.
"Why haven't you killed me yet?" Du Xue stared at the black clothed man and asked.
"Because killing you in one slash is too easy. I will torture you to death to vent my hatred!" The man in black gritted his teeth as he spoke.
Just as he was speaking, a gust of wind blew past him, sweeping away a few leaves on the ground.
The wind was blowing and the leaves were moving. These were not things that the man in black cared about. What she truly cared about was that the wind had brought a person with it.
Du Xue also saw the person facing him.
It was a woman.
She wore a short black and white shirt, a dark red short black plaid skirt that only covered her thighs below her buttocks. Her figure was graceful, with a slender waist. As for her appearance, it was hard to describe, because this woman wore a white mask.
Du Xue immediately recognized that she was the woman who had pleaded for Deng Fan previously. Whether it was the figure or the mask on her face, both were identical, and it had left a deep impression on her.
The masked woman held a short knife in her hand as she stood a few meters behind the woman in black.
At this moment, the girl in black suddenly turned around and stood opposite the masked woman.
"Who are you?" The woman in black was the first to ask, "You're even wearing a mask and are pretending to be mysterious. Who are you trying to scare?"
"Everyone is wearing a mask. I just made one myself." The masked woman's voice was deep and extremely magnetic, as if it had been altered by a voice changer.
The black clothed man coldly snorted and said, "Are you here to save or to kill?"
"Save him!" The masked woman said.
"With just you?" The man in black said disdainfully, as if he did not place the masked woman in his eyes.
"Yes!" Before the masked woman finished her sentence, her body shot forward like lightning. She brandished her blade and struck out at the woman in black a few meters away.
The woman in black, seeing the ferocious approach of the masked woman, did not dare to be negligent. Taking advantage of the opportunity, she threw out a lightning-fast kick.
The kick landed directly on the masked woman's weak point.
However, the flaw on the masked woman's body instantly disappeared, and even her body had disappeared.
The black-clothed woman was shocked. When she finally reacted, she had already taken a kick.
The masked woman kicked the woman in black in the chest, blowing her away.
Without waiting for the girl in black to get up, the masked woman chased after her with her saber.
