After thinking clearly about her own situation, Gu Shiyi actually calmed down.

Gu Shiyi stood at the entrance and looked at the opened doors of the hall opposite of hers. Suddenly, she felt a cold wind brush past her face, which instantly caused her to feel a bone-piercing chill from head to toe.

The surroundings were eerily quiet, but Gu Shiyi knew, the more it was like this, the closer the danger was.

Right now, she was merely a weak girl with only a few poisonous bugs on her body. If Murong Yan was slightly smarter and didn't send a useless eunuch like Hua Hai Garden and instead sent a strong expert to deal with her, then she was really finished.

However, Gu Shiyi still felt that things were not that simple. Murong Yan could have clearly sent people to kill her on her way back, as that would have left no trace.

"Meow, meow …"

Suddenly, Gu Shiyi heard a few cat meows around her, her heart also tensed up at that moment.

Cat, it was actually a cat. In her entire life, she was not afraid of anything, but she was afraid of this cat.

At this moment, she felt goosebumps all over her body. Due to her fear, the nails of her hands that were hugging her arms were almost digging into her flesh without her even realizing.

"Meow, meow …"

The sound of the cat was getting louder and louder. Gu Shiyi was so scared that her back was pressed tightly against the door. She stared fixedly in the direction of the cat's cry, praying repeatedly in her heart not to come, not coming.

But, it was useless. A cat slowly appeared in Gu Shiyi's field of vision, right after, a second, third, and fourth …

An enormous wave of fear almost made Gu Shiyi go insane. She hugged her head, continuously shouting, "Go, go …"

However, that group of cats did not leave. Instead, they walked closer and closer towards Gu Shiyi, until they were surrounding him in a tight circle.

"Ah …" "No, don't come over, don't come over …"

Gu Shiyi originally shouted, but after being surrounded by a group of cats, her voice also started to tremble, as if she was begging.

"Meow …"

With a cat's cry, this group of cats seemed to have heard Gu Shiyi's orders, and rushed towards him together.

Gu Shiyi didn't even have a chance to resist, she only used both of her arms to tightly protect her head, allowing the cats to attack.

Until her body was turned into a bloody mess by the cat, a mournful cat's cry suddenly sounded in her ears, followed by the cries of a bunch of cats. Afterwards, Gu Shiyi's surroundings once again became silent.

After a very long time, Gu Shiyi finally let go of her arms. Only then did she realise that all of the cats had run away, but there was still a dead cat lying at her feet, and the cat's forehead had been pierced by an exquisite dagger.

Gu Shiyi's heart tightened once again, and she couldn't help but take a step back. Who, who, Situ Yu, was it him?

She was afraid of the cat. Only Situ Yu knew about it, and only Situ Yu had used a dagger to kill the cat when it frightened her once.

However, Gu Shiyi immediately rejected this idea. She had personally witnessed Situ Yu being blown into smithereens, and she believed that the heavens would not be so blind to give the devil the chance to live another life.

"Third Miss, are you alright?"

A man wearing a black robe and a black scarf suddenly appeared in front of Gu Eleven. He knelt on the ground with a respectful expression, forcing Gu Eleven to take a few steps back.

"Seeing that Miss has yet to leave the palace, His Highness Prince Su sent her to investigate."

When the black clothed man saw Gu Shiyi's miserable appearance, he started to blame himself.

"Did you kill this cat?"

Gu Shiyi did not immediately return to him. She pointed at the cat on the ground with a face full of suspicion.

"Yes sir!"

After the man in black looked at the dagger between the cat's eyebrows, he hesitated for a moment before answering, "Yes, weird, he was clearly aiming at the cat's body, how did he get shot at the forehead?"

At this point, Gu Shiyi heaved a sigh of relief, luckily it was not Situ Yu.

The moment Gu Shiyi relaxed, shshefelt dizzy and fell to the ground immediately. When the black clothed man saw this, she immediately carried Gu Shiyi on her shoulder, and with a tap of her feet, he flew out of the palace.

What he did not realize was that behind Gu Shiyi, there was a dagger that looked exactly like the dagger in the middle of a cat's forehead. On the handle of the dagger, there was an obvious scratch.

The black-clothed man carried Gu Shiyi straight in front of Situ Jing. Situ Jing was originally sitting in the carriage, reading a book and waiting for Gu Shiyi.

Right now, Gu Shiyi's clothes were all ripped apart, and the cuts were filled with streaks of blood. Other than her head, there were such wounds everywhere else, and her hair was even more disheveled.

Just what had happened to her in the time it took her to leave the palace that caused her to become like this?

Situ Jing also did not hesitate, and immediately ordered his to return to the Duke Palaces as soon as possible. Right now was not the time to investigate everything, the most important thing was her injuries.

Just that, why was Gu Shiyi unconscious and frowning so much?

"Eleven, don't be afraid. The cat is actually a very spiritual animal!"

In her coma, Gu Shiyi dreamt that when she was ten years old, she was so scared that she started to shiver. It was Situ Yu who carried her and comforted her.

Gu Shiyi looked at this man who had a body as straight as jade and was as gentle as jade. Instinctively, Gu Shiyi's voice was like a clear spring, washing away all the fear in her heart.

His smile that was as warm as the sun melted the chill in her heart.

The scene changed. When she was eighteen, she was on a mission and was scared by a wild cat that suddenly jumped out, causing her to be exposed. Not only was the mission a failure, it even almost caused her to lose her life.

It was Situ Yu, who suddenly appeared just as she was about to be shot. After easily taking care of the group of fugitives in front of him, he had even stabbed a dagger into the middle of the wild cat's brows.

"Eleven, to deal with this kind of cat, you only need to do this!"

At that time, Situ Yu was her salvation.

When Gu Shiyi sorrowfully returned to her and Situ Yu's villa, what she saw were two naked, intertwined bodies.

"Eleven, do you know why I didn't touch you all these years?"

Gu Shiyi didn't even begin to ask why, but after throwing down those words, Situ Yu ferociously pressed that enchanting woman down before her.
