C38 (2/2)

”I don't care!” The man sneered before extending two fingers, ”Second …”

As soon as the word ”second” came out of his mouth, it was as if the feeling of ”two” was still in his throat.

Chu Yuehua was startled, and her sloppy character was the same.

Then he saw Ma Junjie fall limply out of his embrace into the cold snow and then hazily open his eyes.

”Junjie!” The man beside him hurriedly shouted.

”Which expert?” It was still Hu Hu who reacted first. He shouted out towards the night sky, ”Thank you for saving me!”

But no one answered him. The son next to him bravely walked over and quickly picked his son up. Before he left, he kicked the man, but the man was already on the ground, as if he no longer had any signs of life.

At this time, Hu Pao also walked over and stretched out his hand towards the man. After that, he looked at his son with a solemn expression, ”He's dead!”

”What a strong inner strength, what a strong poison.”

”This person's martial arts are strong, but he was still unable to escape from that person's poisonous needles. There aren't many people with such strength in the martial arts world!” Ma Hu looked into the night sky and pondered, ”Could it be that there are experts we don't know about in our small farmlands?”

The son shook his head and stayed silent for a while before saying, ”No matter what, it's good as long as Junjie is fine. If we can find that savior, then we'll think of a way to repay his kindness.”

”That's all we can do for now!” Nodding his head carelessly, he looked at his grandson who was still in a daze, smiling as he rubbed his head, ”This child will definitely have a blessing in disguise if he doesn't die from calamity! ”Let's go back and see if the child is injured. He is a reckless person, and his attacks are not serious. He might be secretly injured.”

”Then he …”

Ma Junjie's father pointed at the black clothed man who was now a corpse on the ground.

”Have people bury him as soon as possible. His whereabouts are unknown, so we can only blame him for being too careless and not alerting the others. Miss is still at the manor, be careful. Tomorrow night we will have more people on our patrol.”

”Yes sir!”

Only after they had all left did Chu Yuehua appear from the darkness. Because she had been maintaining this posture for a long time, her four limbs were somewhat numb.

The place where the corpse was originally lying on was just a messy patch of snow. By tomorrow, nothing could be seen.

Never would she have thought that she would encounter such a situation once. Chu Yuehua tightened her cloak and quickened her steps to return.

However, she kept feeling that there was an indescribable fragrance in the air.

The next day, Auntie Liu said Ma Junjie had caught a slight chill and was unable to come for the next two days.

Chu Yuehua knew that it was because of last night's incident, but with such a secretive matter, it was unlikely that even Aunty Liu would know of it. Thus, there was no need for her to ask any further.

It was just that outside of Ma Junjie's chills, there was nothing out of the ordinary about the entire manor. Everyone was still immersed in the joy of the coming new year.
