As Duan Lanruo’s most trusted and closest secret guard, Ah Yue was an existence who could even share her relationship with Liu Yuan.
Her status was actually almost the same as Duan Lanruo’s own daughter, Duan Lian.
As a secret guard who had been adopted and personally raised by Duan Lanruo since she was young, her strength naturally could not be underestimated. The resources poured into her by the City of Ten Thousand Swords and her own natural aptitude allowed her to reach the Void Refinement stage at a young age.
It was enough to be on par with the outstanding disciples of some big sects.
However, as a qualified secret guard, she could not appear in front of others. The cultivation techniques and spells she cultivated were mostly related to concealment and assassination.
When the incident happened in the study, Ah Yue had quietly hidden in the darkness.
Ye Cike did not notice her since her presence was greatly weakened and she had never appeared in front of anyone. Li Jiutong, on the other hand, was constantly disturbed by Liu Yuan and was focused on his battle with Duan Lanruo.
Therefore, when Ah Yue performed the backstab, everyone was stunned.
Liu Yuan was not stunned, because Zhiying had sent him a message in the dark.
She said that she had almost been stepped on by the eighth concubine.
She sounded pitiful.
However, from the looks of it, Zhiying’s hiding ability was probably even stronger than Ah Yue’s.
If it was not for the limitation of her cultivation base, the combat power that Zhiying’s could unleash would definitely be much stronger than it was now.
However, these were all things to be discussed later and not mentioned for the time being.
Ye Cike was still watching the battle between the two Synthesis stage cultivators. Before she could see the situation clearly, she suddenly felt a chill on his neck. Then, he heard what Ah Yue said.
“Young Mistress!” Li Jiutong, who had finally escaped from the negative state, opened his eyes and saw that his Young Mistress was being held hostage.
He was both shocked and angry. He clutched his chest and secretly saved a breath of true Qi to heal his injuries. “Let go of the Young Mistress! If anything happens to her, the conflict between the Sword Pavilion and the Xuanyin family will be irreparable!”
If they were only facing a Void Refinement cultivator, saving Ye Cike would be a piece of cake. However, a Synthesis cultivator was watching them like a tiger watching its prey, and Liu Yuan’s sword, which was some kind of evil weapon, was simply too frightening.
The Young Mistress’s safety could not be compromised. He had to wait for the opportunity to combine the fourth move, ‘Tower’, and the fifth move, ‘Will Body’. He would trap the kid first and then kill the secret guard.
The Sword Maniac Li Jiutong tightened his grip on his sword.
Duan Lanruo put away the flowing flames in her palm and said with a smile, “She’s the Young Mistress of the Xuanyin family, so she can do whatever she wants without any fear? You should know that I’m also the City Lord of the City of Ten Thousand Swords. By attacking me today, isn’t that a provocation to the Sword Pavilion?”
“You were the one who deceived me first and then schemed against me!”
Being held hostage by a Yue, Ye Cike was forced to raise his slender and pale neck. Under the faint light of the blade, she looked like a fragile swan on the verge of death. However, she still pursed her lips and said stubbornly, “You said that you didn’t lie to me when you made the deal with me. What about the Green Lotus Swordsman? She was deceived by you by saying that he’s your adopted husband! This bastard is not your child adopted husband!”
Although he was a bastard, not everyone could take it!
Duan Lanruo tidied her clothes and said indifferently, “She and I have never made any agreement. From the beginning, we were love rivals. Snatching a man, do I still need to follow the rules?”
Ye Cike was at a loss for words. She pursed his lips and looked around. It was silent. She then looked at Liu Yuan, who was standing beside Duan Lanruo.
The young girl’s heart suddenly ached.
A sense of loneliness arose spontaneously, as if she had been abandoned by the world.
She had resisted her mother and elders, confessed the fact that she had lost her Xuanyang Pearl, and insisted on coming out to find him.
In the end, she was faced with his blade.
The most important thing in the so-called aristocratic families was their bloodline. After generations of attempts, even the bloodlines of the previous generations were condensed through arrays and cleansed while her mother was pregnant, she was born.
The Xuanyin family had long since become sick… and the fact that no one could not increase their lifespan was a curse of the family. Thus, if she wanted to increase her cultivation, she could only increase the power of his bloodline as much as possible.
If she was unable to produce better offspring, she would lose her greatest value to the family.
She might even be a sinner.
It was all because of him!
she was supposed to be the most dazzling girl of the Xuanyin family, with the purest bloodline and a talent that was hard to come by even in a thousand years.
In the end, because of this incident, those peers who were originally as obedient as quails suddenly began to spread rumors about her without restraint. Their coveting eyes were fixed on the position of Young Mistress that originally belonged to her.
He had promised her that he would not leave her and would not let her face all these things.
In the end, he did not do a single thing.
“Young Mistress, don’t!” Xiu’er and Li Jiutong, who had been watching Ye Cike nervously, suddenly exclaimed.
The young girl suddenly closed her eyes and pushed forward. Caught off guard, the blade suddenly sank into her tender white skin. Even though Ah Yue quickly retracted her strength, it still left a line of blood and a few drops of blood oozed out.
On the girl’s pale and slender neck, the bright red color was very sad and beautiful.
No one had expected Ye Cike to be so fierce and decisive.
Even Duan Lanruo could not help but be stunned.
However, Li Jiu was anxious at the same time, and his action of rushing forward was full of flaws, which was seen by her.
Duan Lanruo made a prompt decision to attack directly. With a wave of his sleeve, she used ‘Everything is Copper’. This move used the technique of forging swords and forging iron. It directly hit a person’s body with a force of a thousand pounds. On the spot, Li Jiutong, who had lost his sense of propriety, was sent flying by the waist and fell with a bang.
“Waaah!” The old servant was trapped by the array that the secret guards had prepared for a long time. He struggled with all his might, but it was to no avail. In the end, his internal injuries flared up and he fainted on the spot.
Ah Yue’s reaction was extremely fast and experienced. She immediately put away her dagger and blocked Ye Cike’s hands.
At that moment, Liu Yuan felt as if his heart was being squeezed tightly. He only had time to shout, “Ye Cike!”
After making sure that Ye Cike was safe, Liu Yuan heaved a sigh of relief, followed by nervousness and fear.
He felt that his back was covered in cold sweat, and a sentence flashed through his mind — there’s no greater sorrow than a dead heart.
Liu Yuan immediately looked at Ye Cike’s progress bar. it was still full.
It’s alright…
Liu Yuan let out a long sigh.
As long as the favorability was still there, it meant that it was impossible for one’s heart to give up. As long as one did not have the will to give up, everything could be saved.
Ye Cike’s actions were partly due to her own impulsiveness, and partly because Liu Yuan did not consider her feelings this time. She acted on her own will.
This led to a sharp contrast, and for a moment, she had a mental breakdown.
However, there was a scale in a person’s heart. Duan Lanruo’s kindness to him had been unreserved from the beginning to the end. No matter what, he had to stand on her side in this kind of situation.
The young girl suddenly opened her eyes, and tears finally flowed out of her eyes, flowing down her cheeks like broken pearls.
She sobbed with tears in her eyes and mumbled, “I just want to say it! She’s a widow! Old woman! If you have the ability, then kill me. Otherwise, you can only be my Xuanyang Pearl for the rest of your life, and no one can take it away! Sob, sob, sob! Bastard, let go of me! What do you want to do?”
The Young Mistress of the Xuanyin family suddenly started to struggle, her eyes widening in shock… She was speaking to the secret guard who was restraining her.
“To prevent you from committing suicide again,” Ah Yue said.
As she spoke, she put her slender fingers into Ye Cike’s mouth and separated her jaw, indeed to prevent her from biting her tongue to commit suicide.
However, as the Young Mistress of the Xuanyin family was speaking, her eyes were filled with tears, and her saliva flowed down from the corners of his mouth, glistening like crystals.
“Wuah, don’t, don’t look!”
Liu Yuan’s gaze was involuntarily drawn over and met the young girl’s ashamed and indignant gaze.
