Chapter 127: Sudden Change (2) (2/2)

All of this happened right before their eyes. The assassin who had broken the door was only two to three meters away from Chu Lian.

Her heart thumped even faster. The participants in the fight that had spilled out of the room and into the corridor all glanced in Chu Lian’s direction. Cold sweat broke out on the girls’ backs as time seemed to freeze.

In the next second, two masked men in grey and two richly dressed men dashed out from the room in pursuit. One of them was wearing a jade crown, protected in the center of the three other men.

That man’s gaze couldn’t help but turn towards Chu Lian; Chu Lian’s gaze also coincidentally met with his.

Azure eyes! A sharp look!

Chu Lian’s entire body shivered.

Tons of details rushed into her mind like a flood. So it was him!

Chu Lian stomped her foot fiercely. How could she be this unlucky! She managed to bump into such an important figure while out for a simple cup of tea. No wonder they had suddenly been dumped into the middle of this once-in-a-blue-moon assassination attempt.

As much as Chu Lian hated the situation, the more anxious she got, the clearer her mind became. She ordered the two maidservants to leave right now.

She turned and left; in her peripheral vision, she noticed that the azure-eyed man simply glanced at her before continuing his fight with the men in black. Another seven or eight more assassins rushed out from the room, each of them highly skilled in martial arts.

Chu Lian was absolutely frightened. She hadn’t expected to bump into an assassination, let alone one with so many assassins.

And there were only three guards around that azure-eyed man!

Chu Lian shut her eyes tightly. Although she wanted to help him, she knew her own limits. If she were to try to help him, she would only be a burden. There was no way she would be able to assist him.

Chu Lian ran even faster. Luckily, the assassins were fixed on their target. Although they noticed her running away, they didn’t send anyone to chase after her. Thus, she was able to heave a great sigh of relief.

Just as Chu Lian thought that the three of them were finally clear of danger, she heard heavy footsteps coming from the stairway to the second floor of Defeng Teahouse. When Chu Lian looked up, she met with Royal Princess Duanjia’s eyes.
