CH 12.1

The place where the carriage stopped was the Wu family’s house in the new prosperous lane.

On a winter night, there was no one on the street, only the cold wind lingered.

Lanterns are hung in front of every door of the houses nearby. The lights are dim and slightly illuminate everything around them.

The door of the Wu family’s house in front of them was closed and there were no lanterns at all, which plunged them into complete darkness.

A gust of cold wind swept past again, blowing Ji Yunxi’s long hair.

She wrapped her clothes tightly and her hands clutched the hand-warmer stove. When she spoke, the white mist steamed up in the dim light.

Ji Yunxi casually made a lie: “The Eldest Young Master fell into the water two days ago, and I can’t be rest assured at all. We happened to pass by, so I want to have a look at him first, and it’s not too late either to go to work after seeing him.”

Ji Mingshuang glanced at Ji Yunxi’s face.

Her beautiful face was expressionless, very calm, and her tone was the same as usual.

He basically can’t see at all that she’s worried.

But she said she is very worried.

There is a strange contradiction.

Ji Mingshuang: “Sometimes, I really don’t understand it. Do you really like that Wu Wei’an? Like that Yang Weitian?”

Ji Yunxi nodded: “Recently, I really like Eldest Young Master Wu.”

As for that Yang Weitian, from the moment he withdrew the engagement, whoever he was, had nothing to do with her anymore.

The door was locked, and the two who were outside could not get in.

After knocking on the door for a while, no one came to open it.

Ji Mingshuang leaned to the side with his arms around his chest, in a very calm manner and said: “What are you looking at me for?”

“Seventh Brother.” Ji Yunxi said helplessly, “Help me.”

“No.” Ji Mingshuang was holding a leaf from which she didn’t know where it came from. “You come to see your lover, and you expect your brother to help you pry the door?”

Ji Yunxi didn’t speak any more, and just looked at Ji Mingshuang with those eyes without blinking.

Ji Mingshuang ignored it.

But after a while, he surrendered: “Alright, alright. I will pry it. Is that enough?”

Ji Yunxi smiled and raised her eyebrows: “Thank you, Seventh Brother.”

Ji Mingshuang walked over, raised his hand and pushed forward lightly, and the heavy door was opened with a creak.

Some small movements that were originally isolated by the door and the night came in an instant.

It is the sound of swords colliding.

Ji Mingshuang’s face, which was usually nonchalant, solidified. He looked at each other with Ji Yunxi.

Without any hesitation, the two walked towards the direction of the sound together.

As soon as they arrived at the back courtyard, they found seven or eight men in black with swords in their hands surrounding the front of Wu Wei’an’s room.

At the door, Wan Xiang is standing there and guarding. Her face is as cold as ice, and she didn’t retreat even the slightest at all.

Behind, Wu Wei’an shrank there with a pale face, and his whole person was trembling.

Seeing the two people who suddenly appeared in the courtyard, the men in black looked at each other and accelerated their offensive move.

Wan Xiang countered the moves, but it’s already a little strenuous for her.

Ji Mingshuang subconsciously blocked his sister behind him and asked: “Why is Wan Xiang here?”

Ji Yunxi didn’t seem to have expected to see this scene and her face paled slightly: “I was afraid that the children of the noble family would come to embarrass him, so I asked Wan Xiang to protect him. Unexpectedly, Seventh Brother, what do these people want to do?”

Ji Mingshuang didn’t immediately come forward, but carefully observed the moves of those people: “They are assassins. Third Ji, find a place to hide and be careful.”

“I know. Don’t worry, Seventh Brother.” Ji Yunxi took a few steps back and found a bush to cover herself.

Seeing this, Ji Mingshuang pulled out the soft sword around his waist. As the frost-like silver flashed in the night, he appeared behind the men in black and collaborated well with Wan Xiang.

Ji Mingshuang has traveled all over the world since he was a child, fighting alone, and encountered many opportunities along the way, and he has also cultivated a good martial arts.

And Wan Xiang herself is not bad either. On ordinary days, Ji Mingshuang will demonstrate martial arts moves to Wan Xiang and even give some tips to Wan Xiang.

For a while, the two gained the upper hand and forced the men in black to retreat.

The moves of the men in black become even more ruthless. Each and every one of their moves could kill people.

When Ji Mingshuang saw this, he no longer cared too much, and his sword carried a murderous aura.
