Chapitre 68

Uncle Yin felt a chill in his left ear, followed by excruciating pain—the girl's dagger had sliced off half of his left ear.

He was filled with rage and raised his hand to tear her to shreds, but Yan Yufei's orders were still ringing in his ears, so he had to force himself to endure it, his fists almost clenched until they bled.

Yi Chun called out "Senior Brother," scooped up Mo Yunqing, and ran away.

They ran wildly, but strangely no one was chasing them. Uncle Yin and the men in black seemed to have vanished suddenly.

Suddenly, Yichun stopped in her tracks.

Before them was a small courtyard filled with osmanthus trees, beneath which flowed a pond that led directly outside the mansion, its surface bathed in the soft glow of the moonlight.

Yan Yufei was standing by the water, staring intently at her.

Mo Yunqing silently stepped aside; there was nothing he could do to help in this situation.

No one spoke.

There is no need to speak.

The dagger and the hidden weapon flashed almost simultaneously, and the tiny silver needles pierced Yi Chun's body. But she did not stop, she could not stop.

She lowered her body, as if she might collapse at any moment, and felt a chill on her neck as his short sword slashed across, this time leaving a genuine bloody gash that practically splattered with blood.

The tip of the dagger was lowered, then suddenly raised just before it touched the ground.

The nineteenth move of the Returning Swallow Sword Technique: Swallow Returns.

Yan Yufei's right hand was severed at the wrist, the short sword flying through the air before crashing to the ground. He bled just as much as she did.

Yi Chun chuckled, feeling immense pleasure. She pressed her hand hard against the wound on her neck, grabbed Mo Yunqing, flipped her over, and fell into the pond, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Yan Yufei gripped his severed wrist, his face pale, and remained motionless.

Following instructions, Uncle Yin arrived hastily a moment later. Upon seeing the severed wrist on the grass, he turned pale with shock and rushed over, exclaiming, "Young Master!"

Yan Yufei's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she said in a low voice, "What are you standing there for? What about the things I told you to do?"

Uncle Yin gritted his teeth and said "yes," then turned and left.

The bug has been fixed. Thank you all for your sharp eyes; I was totally confused while writing this.

Chapter Seven

The morning was misty. Little Pumpkin, carrying a bundle in her arms, trotted behind Shu Jun, calling out reluctantly, "Master! Miss Ge said we should wait in Suzhou! You don't know where she's being held, and Yan Yufei is so ruthless. We should hurry to Suzhou! What if she escapes and doesn't see us in Suzhou? She'll think we lied to her, and that would be terrible!"

Shu Jun's light purple robe was faintly visible in the mist. He casually replied, "Okay, let's look around some more. We'll head to Suzhou right away."

"Let's look again, let's look again," the master used these three words to fob him off for several days in a row. Little Pumpkin had no choice but to continue running around with him.

Suddenly, a splashing sound came from the misty moat, as if something huge was struggling to climb ashore.

Startled, Little Pumpkin scrambled behind Shu Jun and whispered, "Master! There's a water demon!"

Shu Jun frowned and glanced at him, then looked up at the moat and saw a shadowy figure on the bank, struggling to move forward in a very unsightly manner.

The more he looked, the deeper his brows furrowed. Suddenly, he strode over, startling Little Pumpkin who kept calling out "Master, Master!"

Yi Chun struggled to carry the unconscious Mo Yunqing, who wasn't good at swimming, towards the shore. He was really heavy, heavier than an old sow, and the pressure made her wounds feel like they were about to burst open.

Suddenly, footsteps sounded ahead, and a person emerged from the mist, wearing a flamboyant light purple robe, with exquisite features, frowning and looking at him strangely.

Yi Chun breathed a sigh of relief, raised her hand and greeted him with a wry smile: "Shu Jun, thank goodness I'm still alive, we meet again."

The wound on her neck was still bleeding, and countless wounds of all sizes on her body were bleeding. Combined with her soaked clothes, she looked as if she was completely drenched in blood, which was extremely terrifying.

Little Pumpkin ran over and exclaimed in surprise, "Sister! What happened to you?!"

She gave another wry smile: "It's a long story. Can any of you help me support him? My back is about to break."

Little Pumpkin reached out to help, saying, "This person is..."

Before she could finish speaking, her master moved faster than lightning, scooping Yichun up by the back of her collar like a piglet, and asking her directly, face to face, "Who is this man?"

Yichun honestly told him, "He's my senior brother."

"Hmph, senior brother..." Shu Jun raised his hand and touched her forehead: "You've been poisoned."

"Really? I..." Yi Chun had only managed to say three words when he picked her up and turned to leave. It seemed she couldn't say anything more because he was walking very fast.

Poor little pumpkin was left behind all alone, struggling to drag the unconscious Mo Yunqing, repeating to itself: "Forget righteousness for beauty, forget righteousness for beauty."

Yan Yufei's silver needles were extremely ruthless; each needle contained a different type of poison. Yi Chun was hit on the right side of her sternum and on the left side of her ribs, and the purplish-red spots quickly spread to her neck.

Gradually, she began to have difficulty breathing and tossed and turned in the cabin, suffering greatly.

“Slaying Spring…Slaying Spring Sword…” she murmured, “Sheep kidney…the sword…at his grave…”

Shu Jun didn't answer. He pulled down the cabin curtain and quickly tore open her clothes. He didn't hear her speak again. Looking down, he saw that she had fainted.

He had never seen such a reckless girl before. With so many bloody wounds on her body, she still dared to jump into the pond. Even after being poisoned, she could still carry someone to swim. She clearly didn't care about her own life.

When he received the letter from that person, inviting him to meet at Lingyan Inn in Chenzhou, the accounts would be settled. How could Shu Jun miss such a good opportunity?

I went to Chenzhou City, only to be told that the Yan Clan had come to cause trouble, and that I should make way for them and not stop them.

Shu Jun knew things were going badly right away.
