"In the end, we caught that white-masked woman. Third brother, do you want to know who she is?"

Yuchi Chen's voice was laced with amusement. Yun Ruo was standing at the door, stunned by what she heard. She felt that the truth was about to be revealed!

"It doesn't matter who it is! The most important thing is, the Jin family deserves to die! "

Yuchi Xuan's sudden words caused Yun Ruo's back to be covered in cold sweat. That cold and emotionless tone seemed to hold a great grudge against the Jin family.

"Third Brother was absolutely right, so I did not plan to save the Jin family. "I don't want to get involved in this either. This little brother will deliver that woman in white to third brother tonight!"

After speaking, Yuchi Chen strode out. Yun Ruo Lu lowered her head and did not notice. The words Yuchi Chen had said before she left made Yun Ruo Lu realize that this matter definitely had something to do with Yuchi Xuan.

However, she did not understand. Although the Jin family was the wealthiest in the distant capital, they were just commoners. Why would Yuchi Xuan place them in his eyes?

She was unwilling to believe that Yuchi Xuanluo had done so. Thus, after Yuchi Chen left, Yun Ruo Lu did not hesitate to turn around and enter the room. She looked directly at Yuchi Xuanluo and asked, "Your subordinate heard the conversation between the Fifth Prince and the King.

Seeing Yun Ruo walk in, Yuchi Xuan's expressionless face revealed a hint of displeasure. In a slightly impatient tone, he said, "What is it?"

"This subordinate has also heard about the Jin Clan being exterminated. Did the prince really send someone to do this?"

Yun Ruo Lu stared at Yuchi Xuan, hoping that he would give her an accurate answer.

"Impudent!" Do I need you to point fingers at my work? "Go back!"

Extremely angry, Yuchi Xuan smashed the teacup in his hand in front of her feet.

Yun Ruo Man lowered her head and did not speak for a long time. Her thoughts were in a complete mess. This was the first time that Yuchi Xuan had been so angry with her. It was also the first time that she felt that Yuchi Xuan wasn't as perfect as she had imagined him to be. Everything was just because she was too conceited.

After a moment of silence, Yun Ruo You bowed and said: "This subordinate shall take his leave! Prince, take care! "

Right! She decided to leave because she had already experienced too many things in the Fifth Prince's estate, so she didn't want to get involved in any other disputes. That wasn't the life she wanted!

Although Yuchi Xuan was infuriated, he understood the meaning of Yun Ruo's melody. Just as Yun Ruo walked to the door, he shouted loudly, "Stand still!"

Yun Ruo Lu stopped walking. If it was her from the past, she definitely wouldn't have stopped walking. But this time, for some reason, she actually wanted to hear Yuchi Xuan's explanation.

If he was willing to explain, she could choose not to leave!

Yuchi Xuan walked in front of Yun Ruo Lu and closed the door. He took a deep breath and said helplessly, "You don't trust me that much?" Even you, this king believes that you can be my trusted aide, but you want to rely on the words of others to leave this king alone? "

"Your subordinate doesn't understand. Your highness, please enlighten me!"

Yun Ruo looked at Yuchi Xuan, puzzled. She had heard him clearly at the door, so how could she have misunderstood him?

Yuchi Xuan rubbed his forehead, feeling a headache coming on. He sighed and asked, "What did you hear just now?"

Yun Ruo Lu was slightly startled, but she still told the truth, "I heard that the Fifth Prince captured a member of the Jin family, and he will send that woman to see you tonight. Isn't that woman sent by the Fifth Prince?"

Yuchi Xuan shook his head in amusement and continued, "This is just a mere Jin family. This king doesn't care about them at all. Why would I send someone to kill them?" Do you know who the woman that fifth brother captured is? "

Yun Ruo Lu shook her head, indicating that she did not know. She too wanted to know who this person was. If it wasn't for Yuchi Xuan's men, how could he have sent the woman to Yuchi Xuan?

Yuchi Xuan shook his head with a smile and said, "Actually, even I don't know. Because this matter has nothing to do with me, I would like to know who exactly Fifth Brother has captured."

Although Yuchi Xuan said this, he still couldn't help but feel nervous. In fact, he even suspected that person.

Because she was the only woman he and Yuchi Chen were familiar with. He was even more certain when he saw the look of hatred on Yuchi Chen's face.

Yun Ruo looked at Yuchi Xuan, puzzled. Seeing that Yuchi Xuan was also confused, she believed what he said.

In her heart, she was hoping that Yuchi Chen would send someone over later. She might even know him.

Currently, of all the girls she knew, the only ones who were still alive were the missing Yun Ruo Yao, the dead Xi Xue, and the dead Xue Er whose corpse was missing. But if you think about it carefully, the possibility of all three of them being alive was not very high.

"My prince, why don't we wait here with you?"

Since Yuchi Chen had said that he would send someone over, she wouldn't be able to wait for long. Furthermore, looking at the way Yuchi Chen had left her, she thought that he himself wouldn't be coming back. Hence, she wanted to stay and see who it was that had angered Yuchi Chen to this extent.

Yuchi Xuan didn't object. Instead, he nodded, indicating for her to stand to the side.

After a short while, a guard rushed over and reported, "Reporting to your highness, the woman sent by the Fifth Prince just now ran away at the time of our handover!"

Hearing this, Yuchi Xuan's face darkened. Yun Ruo Lu let out a breath of relief. She thought to herself, "To be able to run away at such a time, he really is a difficult person to deal with!"

"What are you running for? Send people to chase him! "

It seemed as though he cared deeply about this matter as well.

"Just now, there were already people chasing after him. That woman was injured, so she shouldn't be far away! "

Being injured, when Yun Ruo Lu heard these words, she felt that there was still hope, so she stood up and said, "Your Highness, please let this subordinate take a look as well!"

If he missed this opportunity, who knew what would happen in the future? Thus, Yun Ruo Lu really wanted to capture that woman and bring her back to clarify the matter.

Yuchi Xuan gestured for her to go, and Yun Ruo Lu left with the guard who came in to report.

"You guys have so many, how could you let an injured woman run away?"

While walking, Yun Ruo Lu asked what had happened at that time. She felt that it was a bit inconceivable.

"That girl had an accomplice among our guards. After our people and the Fifth Prince's people exchanged blows, the guards escorted her away, and the two of them ran out of the manor into the bamboo forest."

So that was how it was. After hearing that, Yun Ruo Lu suddenly realized that they had really been too careless previously.

After exiting the Manor's gate, Yun Ruo Lu led her people and hurried towards the bamboo forest. Previously, a group of people had already caught up, so they only needed to follow the footprints and it would be fine.

After chasing for a short while, they saw the corpses of several guards lying in the bamboo forest. There were also bloodstains on the dried up yellow leaves along the way.

"They should be nearby. Search carefully!"

After Yun Ruo Lu gave the order, everyone began to scatter in search, and she followed the trail of blood all the way down.

There was blood all along the way. Yun Ruo guessed in her heart that the woman was injured, and that the blood had extended for so long. It must have been left behind by that woman.

Thus, in order to not let the girl escape, Yun Ruo Lu increased her speed. She only wanted to catch that person, and didn't even know that the guards behind her had been left far behind.

When Yun Ruo Lu finally caught up to the end of the trail of blood, she found herself alone in the quiet bamboo forest, surrounded by an unfamiliar environment.

A breeze blew past, carrying with it a tinge of the scent of blood.

The corner of Yun Ruo's mouth curved into a smile. She knew that the woman was still here. This was because she had already smelled the woman's scent, a faint fragrance of osmanthus flowers.

"There's no need to hide, come out!"

Yun Ruo Lu turned her body slightly, and shouted towards the direction that she had decided on.

In an instant, a white figure floated out from the bamboo forest. That snow-white figure wore a mysterious veil, and his eyes were as cold as a merciless god of death.

The moment Yun Ruo Lu saw the white figure, she immediately felt that it was a bit familiar. However, she was not sure in her heart, so she could only ask, "Who are you? Why did you want to kill the Jin family? "

The woman didn't say anything. She looked at Yun Ruo Lu meaningfully. On the other hand, her right arm continued to bleed profusely.

"I don't want to take advantage of someone when they are in danger. If you don't want to die, then obediently follow me back to see the Prince!"

When Yun Ruo Lu saw that the girl was severely injured, she knew that she was no match for her, so she wanted to convince her.

The girl raised her hand and slowly lifted the veil covering her face. A familiar face appeared in front of Yun Ruo's eyes.

Yun Ruo Lu looked at the person in front of her with wide eyes that could not believe it, and said with a trembling voice, "Xue … Xue Er, you … Didn't you already … "

"Haven't I already died?" Xue'er took over Yun Ruo's words, her voice filled with ice-cold ridicule.

Although the person in front of her was Xue'er, Yun Ruo Lu felt that something wasn't right. Because the Xue Er she knew before was a kind, understanding, and kind girl.

But now, the Xue'er in front of her had a trace of cold ruthlessness on her face. Her face was covered in frost, and she looked as if she would make others distance themselves from her.

"What's going on? Snow, why aren't you dead? Since you aren't dead, why didn't you come look for us? "

Yun Ruo Lu was puzzled. It was already a mystery that Xue`er didn't die, but she also killed the irrelevant Jin family. It was even more strange.

In the end, there were still some entanglements on how to cut and straighten things out.

Although Xue'er's expression was ice-cold, she did not have any intentions of killing Yun Ruo and she turned around and started narrating what happened that day.

"That day, I should have died in the ancient tomb, but someone actually secretly followed us from another passage. It was that black-clothed person, my current master, who saved me. Not only did he heal my wounds, he also helped me recover my martial arts. The first task he gave me was to kill the Jin family in Yao City and bring back what he wanted. "

"Who is your master? What did you take from the Jin family? Xue Er, come back with me to see the prince, you don't need to follow that master of yours. "

Yun Ruo Lu had a rough understanding of the situation. She felt that it was inconceivable that there was actually someone who could find another entrance so powerful.

Perhaps, when they entered the tomb later, they found another entrance. It was caused by the black-clothed person that Xue'er mentioned.

"No!" It was too late! Master poisoned me, so if I betray him, I will die too! "

Xue Er's tone was a little agitated. Only now did Yun Ruo Lu realize that Xue Er's coldness was just an act. It seemed that she still had her own difficulties.

She did not believe that someone who had already died once would be afraid of death!
