Su Xianyin grabbed the rope and followed the mute up. She walked lightly to his side and lay on the roof. She pointed at the dimly lit courtyard below. The mute nodded, got up, and jumped down.
Li Yu turned to look at Ji Xiang and raised two fingers to gesture at him. Ji Xiang nodded and picked up the crossbow. In the blink of an eye, he saw a man covered in darkness, only revealing a pair of black and shiny eyes. He was standing in the courtyard.
The mute held a slender spike and nimbly flashed behind a pillar on the veranda. He looked at the dim lampstand standing in the corner of the veranda and stuck his head out to check around. Seeing no movement, he took out the bewitching incense and walked to the window of the main room. He blew on the lighter and lit the bewitching incense. He burned the window veil and placed it in the window. After the main room was placed, he went to the other rooms before he hid under the eaves of the porch.
Su Xianyin lay quietly on the roof. Seeing that the courtyard was still as quiet as before after the mute went down, she smiled happily when she thought about the banknotes she was about to obtain.
After about half an hour, Li Yu heard the person lying on the roof move. Immediately after, a woman with an excellent figure jumped down from the roof.
Without a word, Li Yu picked up the crossbow and shot at the woman in the courtyard.
Ji Xiang shot arrows at the man rushing towards the door of the main room. The man waved the spike in his hand and dodged like a ghost. He stepped on the wall and jumped up to raise the spike in his hand to stab Ji Xiang. Ji Xiang jumped down from the beam and dodged a blow, fighting the mute who had followed.
Su Xianyin was shocked when she heard the sharp sound of the arrow piercing through the air. She moved half a step to the left and waved the spike in her hand to knock away the arrow.
Li Yu quickly pulled the trigger. One arrow after another flew toward Su Xianyin. Su Xianyin waved the spike in her hand and her soft body leaned back like a willow branch. A crossbow arrow brushed past her lower jaw and left a blood mark on the bone spike. Then, with a puff, she was shot in the thigh by the crossbow arrow that followed closely. She retreated two steps back from the impact of the crossbow arrow. The pain of the arrow entering her leg bone made her grunt. Su Xianyin thought that something was wrong and let out a sharp cry to turn around and escape.
When the mute heard Su Xianyin’s scream, he sped up his attack on Ji Xiang, wanting to escape from his fight. The dagger in Ji Xiang’s hand followed him like a shadow. The mute could not escape, and Ji Xiang could not take advantage of him.
After Li Yu shot the last arrow. she threw away the crossbow and slid it into her
hand. She followed the arrow and attacked Su Xianyin like lightning. Su Xianyin glared at Li Yu, who was flying over from above and raised her spike to meet her.
When the spike came at her face, Li Yu twisted her body forcefully and the thin blade in her hand pierced into Su Xianyin’s left shoulder. Blood sprayed out. Su Xianyin’s spike also slashed across Li Yu’s left arm, causing a blood mist. Li Yu’s arm immediately bled.
Li Yu’s toes landed on the ground. Without looking back, she stabbed Su Xianyin in the back. The tip of her toes turned and kicked Su Xianyin. This kick was as heavy as a thousand catties. Su Xianyin was sent flying and hit the pillar before falling to the ground without a sound.
When the mute saw Su Xianyin fall to the ground, he raised his spike and stabbed at Ji Xiang’s face. Ji Xiang leaned back and dodged the mute’s attack. The mute kicked Ji Xiang in the stomach and sent him flying to the ground.
The mute turned around and ran towards Su Xianyin. He was stabbed in the chest by Li Yu, who was coming at him. The mute spat out blood and clutched his chest as he pounced at Su Xianyin. He fell beside Su Xianyin and reached out to touch her neck. He felt his pulse beating weakly. The mute revealed a gentle smile and closed his eyes.
Li Yu walked over to check and realized that the mute was no longer breathing but Su Xianyin was still alive. She pulled off their masks and saw the ordinary-looking mute and the beautiful Su Xianyin. She clicked her tongue and sighed. “I didn’t expect her to be a vicious beauty.”
She turned around and covered her injured arm as she walked toward Ji Xiang. Before she could reach Ji Xiang, she saw him slowly get up. Li Yu heaved a sigh of relief and smiled. “We won.”
“Yes, Madam. We won.” Ji Xiang nodded and held his stomach as he coughed twice. Suddenly, he looked up and shouted, “Master, Ruyi, we won.”
Zhou Jia and Mr. Wen sat cross-legged in the dark room and listened to Yangyang sleep. Suddenly, they heard Ji Xiang’s shout and heaved a sigh of relief.
Mr. Wen held Zhou Jia’s hand and said briskly, “Xiao Xi, go out and take a look.”
“Yes.” Zhou Jia quickly walked towards the outer room. The guard guarding the outer room also heard Ji Xiang’s shout. Seeing Zhou Jia open the door and come out, he hurriedly went up to him and said, “Sir, we won.”
Zhou Jia nodded and said, “Stay here and guard it.”
“Yes, sir.” A guard went forward and opened the door to see Zhou Jia run towards the main courtyard.
The lights in the courtyard came on and Xiaoyu pushed open the door. Gu Yu and Xing Hua helped Xiaoyu out and stood in the courtyard looking at the main door.
Xiaoyu said to Gu Yu, “Madam is going to take a shower later. Gu Yu, go and see if there’s still hot water in the pot.”
“Yes!” Gu Yu replied happily. When she reached the corner, she realized that Old Madam Yun and Old Madam Xu were already walking toward the kitchen.
When Ruyi heard Ji Xiang’s shout, he guessed that the thief might have come from the roof at the back of the house. Thinking that he had already rushed back to the main courtyard, he saw the two people lying on the ground and ran to them. He asked worriedly, “Madam, how are you and Ji Xiang? Are you injured?”
Li Yu smiled and said, “We’re all injured but fine. Go and see if that woman is dead. ”
Ruyi pulled out his saber and walked up to the two of them. He slowly squatted down and felt that the mute’s pulse was no longer beating. He touched Su Xianyin and said to Li Yu, “Madam, one of them is dead. This woman is still breathing. Can we save her?”
When Li Yu heard that Su Xianyin was not dead yet, she thought for a moment and said, “Forget it! I’ll let her live first so that it’ll be easier to ask where she came from.” As she spoke, she stood up and walked towards the courtyard door.
Zhou Jia brought the guards into the main courtyard and saw Li Yu standing behind the door. He rushed over to support Li Yu and checked anxiously. “How is it? Are you injured?”
Li Yu leaned against Zhou Jia’s anxious expression and said with a smile, “Ji
Xiang was kicked in the stomach. My arm was cut, but it’s fine.”
“Hurry up and go back to the house. I’ll clean your wound and bandage it.” Zhou Jia supported Li Yu and walked into the room..
