C24 (1/2)

Lin Qianqian looked at the hungry wolf pouncing at the man in black with fear in her eyes.

She had been slow in dodging just now. An arrow had pierced into her calf and nailed it to the ground. The slightest movement had caused a tearing pain. Since she was young, she had never experienced this sort of pain.

In the end, the rest of them were busy fleeing for their lives, and no one bothered with her. Seeing the black clothed man getting closer and closer, Lin Qianqian recognized one of the people nearby and shouted, ”Young master Pei, save me! My legs won't be able to leave!”

Pei Yu, who was helping the guards of the mansion against the black-clothed man, was distracted by Lin Qianqian. First, he ignored the fact that the black-clothed man's sneak attack had succeeded and that he had injured his arm. Pei Yu did not say much and instead retreated to Lin Qianqian's side, ”Miss Lin Qianqian, I will help you block them. Leave quickly.”

Seeing that Pei Yu cared for her, Lin Qianqian was overjoyed. She said, ”Young Master Pei Yu, I can't move my foot. If you protect me to a safe place, we, the Supreme Fu Mansion, will reward you handsomely!”

Pei Yu furrowed his brows. His martial arts were not bad, but the black clothed man was a professional assassin, he was too busy taking care of himself.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that he and the soldiers were at a disadvantage. It was already good enough that someone was creating a chance for her to escape, but she was still hoping for someone to protect her.

She didn't really want to bother with Lin Qianqian, but she was too much of a hindrance here. So, she flew to her side and, taking advantage of her unawares, pulled the arrow that was stuck in her calf out of the ground.

After all, the scene was chaotic and she couldn't accurately judge Lin Qianqian's wound. She couldn't hastily pull out the arrow. What if it affected her wound healing or something else in the future? It would only restore Lin Qianqian's recovery.

Caught off guard, Lin Qianqian screamed, ”Ah, it hurts! Lu JinNian, what are you going to do to me!”

Lu JinNian didn't even give her an expression to show his respect. This young miss really didn't understand the situation. No matter how much Lin Qianqian shouted, Lu JinNian grabbed her collar and threw her towards a safe place.

”Muqi, catch!”

”Yes sir!”

Muqi rushed over and took Lin Qianqian's hand. Like a sandbag, she deflected Lin Qianqian's force and threw her into a safe corner. Then, she stood guard beside Xiao Su as if nothing had happened.

Lin Qianqian hugged her calves as she grimaced in pain, shouting and shouting. At the same time, she was filled with dissatisfaction towards Lu JinNian. The other noble young ladies all looked at her as if they were looking at a fool, not wanting to admit that such a person was taught by a great clan like theirs.

They could clearly see that Pei Yu was guarding beside Lin Qianqian, giving her time to escape. If it weren't for Lu Jinniang, he might have missed out on a black-clothed man and killed Lin Qianqian. Not only was he not grateful for saving her, he was even unhappy about his benefactor reprimanding him.

Xiao Yun stood in the crowd and glanced at Lin Qianqian in disgust, ”Shut up for this prince!”

No matter how young he was, he was still a prince, and the grandeur he learned in the Imperial Palace was not for show.

Lin Qianqian was intimidated by his words. She froze for a moment before sobbing, ”Your Highness Seventh Prince, it really hurts!”

Xiao Yun sneered coldly, ”You're not the only one injured here, injuries are more serious than you. Any one of them is as noisy as you. If This Prince hears another word from you, he'll tear your mouth apart.”

Lin Qianqian frantically covered her mouth and shrank into a corner.

Xiao Su looked at Lu Jinniang's nimble figure that was shuttling between the guards and the man in black. Lu JinNian seemed to be fighting randomly, but in reality, she was silently looking for the enemy's weakness and killing them. Furthermore, she had been circling around the man in black's goal from start to finish, not letting them succeed.
