Chapter 37 (2/2)

Yu Zi asked, ”Probably is what?”

The servant answered, ”Probably is…is Master's beloved one”

Yu Zi's expression slightly changed

The servant hurriedly explained, ”Those people outside are just talking rubbish I also think that it's nothing but nonsense It's just that I can't really scold them for it Who doesn't know that Master's real true love is you!”

For soh she had all the favors and luxuries right now, she knew very well that everything she had depended on Yuwen Qing's affection for her Once this affection started to wear thin as her beauty withered, she irl

Therefore, she was extre's fondness of her and becaht have a new favorite If what the servant girl said was true, and there really was a beauty hidden inside that carriage whoine howto replace Yu Zi soon

Having stayed at Yuwen Qing's side for a long time, Yu Zi knew her place very well She never asked about things she should not be asking about or anything Yuwen Qing didn't want her to know This was one of the reasons why she was his favorite Today, however, she had a hard ti it back, and for an entire afternoon, she had been feeling ill at ease When Yuwen Qing caently and carefully for a while before shein that carriage behind yours It e the whole time Why not let ht to divert her fro was surprised for a hed, ”Well If it's sooing to do you any good You don't need to worry about this All you have to do is stay quietly inside your carriage”

There was only a carriage plank separating the crowd outside Nowished for a more intimate advance, he couldn't just do it here Therefore, he could only relieve his desire by rubbing his hand all over Yu Zi before reluctantly returning to his own carriage

After Yuwen Qing left, the young servant popped her head in and smiled, ”Is Madairl a glare

The young servant asked, ”I'm sure that Master must have coe?”

Yu Zi shook her head ”He didn't say, but I don't think it's a beauty If Master really has a new lover, why does he need to hide it fro”

In the end, there was a hint of jealousy in her voice that she didn't even realize herself

The servant said, ”But I saw a servant girl co out of it!”

Yu Zi was shocked, ”What?”

The servant thought she didn't believe it and went on to explain, ”It's true Just outside a irl caet water She's so pretty All the ether with us had their eyes fixed unblinkingly on her!”

Baffling and anxious, Yu Zi asked, ”Is there really a woested, ”Why don't you granttomorrow, Madam? I can use it as an excuse to strike up a conversation and see what's going on”

Yu Zi was uncertain about it, ”I don't think it's a good idea Master will not be happy if he finds out”

”I'll do it secretly so Master won't know about it Madam, you have to at least know the other person's identity so you can think of a way to deal with her Otherwise, you ht not even knoho your enemy is by the time she seizes Master's favor from you!”

Yu Zi hesitated for a moment, then she took a jade hairpin out of her hair and handed it to the servant, ”Be careful Don't let Master see you Just forget about it if you can't find a chance”

”You may rest assured, Mada was a coht, Yuwen Qing didn't coirl rested inside the sah they couldn't find an inn to stay at along the road, with thethe to stay inside a suffocating carriage, there was really nothing to coht, Yu Zi suddenly felt a slight chill on her face She opened her eyes in a daze, but before she could realize as happening, someone had already covered her h next to her ear, ”You're pretty keen You're lucky that I'ht, so I won't kill anyone A man like him would even save a horse If he knew that I killed you, it would surely deepen his disgust towards ht, because she was knocked unconscious i servant even tucked her inside the blanket before getting up and hopping off the carriage Carrying her dress in her hand, she ran towards Yuwen Qing's carriage, looking all flustered

The guards stopped her outside the carriage, so she could only call with a low voice, ”Master! Master!”

Yuwen Qing probably hadn't slept yet After a while, the carriage curtain was lifted, and a face full of i servant looked at the experts guarding the carriage Somewhat embarrassed, she whispered, ”It's almost Mada well at night She just had a nighto take a look at her?”

There was a beauty acco him on the trip, but he had to sleep alone with only his blanket to hug The feeling beca could feel his heart waro check”

Seeing that the guards sent by Yuwen Yong were about to coo take a look at ether with me”

These experts all had sharp eyes and ears If he wanted to do soe, they didn't even need to prick their ears to easily hear everything It would definitely be an aard thing for the person being eavesdropped

The guards were not so happy about it After all, they weren't the type of bodyguards for Yuwen Qing to bark orders at Even though they held the title of Ied to the Cleansing Moon Sect Apart fro, no one else could order them around They normally followed the emperor around, and it was already an act of condescension for them to escort an envoy this time They also had their pride, so they stopped at his words After they saw that Yuwen Qing got in one of the carriages in the back which was only a few steps away fro followed the young servant onto the carriage As soon as the door was closed, he sensed soht a la back, it was already too late

A chilling sensation quietly crept onto his back It was a jade hairpin held by a slim, fair hand But the speed was simply too fast He didn't have time to even blink when half an inch of the sharp end of that hairpin had already pierced through his clothes and sunk into his flesh!+

Yuwen Qing'sexpression on his face At this moment, how could he not know that he had been lead into a trap? He could only blame his own stupidity that he even told those experts accoh they were only a few steps away froh for the other person to pierce the hairpin all the way through his heart

He could al at him

But the hairpin didn't advance in the next moment In fact, it even retreated and pulled out of his body Yuwen Qing fell right on top of Yu Zi as still unconscious

There was a beauty in his arms, but he was not in thefor help

The servant girl who sneak attacked hi instant, she had already drifted several meters away However, soht up with her They seeroaned in pain as her whole body flew out

”Preceptor! Junior Preceptor, saveeven had the iht at that h the air in all directions Countless phantoms suddenly appeared froreat joy turned into great fright When his guards started fighting with those e, not even caring that his back was still bleeding

Yuwen Yong had warned him before he left that the Northern Qi would try every possiblean alliance with Chen Yan Wushi+ would personally acco the way At that ti fuss over it However, since not everyone in this world had the honor to be protected by the De's vanity He also followed their orders and concealed Yan Wushi+'s identity, so everyone thought the person inside the carriage was just another beauty like Yu Zi Who would have thought that he would almost be killed on the spot?!

If he hadn't concealed Yan Wushi+'s presence in the beginning, the other party would not have exposed theht've used ainst Yuwen Qing understood very well that if he could take the opportunity and take down ht, his journey would undoubtedly be a lot safer all the way to Chen

Listening to the swords clashi+ng outside together with the s felt hi Even Yan Wushi+'s presence could not fully put his , he aler under Yu Zi's nose After a while, he slowly exhaled a breath of relief as his entire body sluht continued outside

Yuwen Qing wasn't the only one as scared Thoseinside their carriages in fear A few of theht themselves to be skilled in martial arts wanted to coht on the spot, unable to take even a single blow The attackers were vicious and merciless; they didn't even bother to hide their faces As for some of the people who didn't escape in time, their souls were immediately claied by four elders of the Harmony Sect The numbers weren't in his favor, yet it was the other four people that seemed to be in dire straits Only a moment later, their formation was already a hideoussurrounded by four people, Yan Wushi+ had so the situation with such prowess that his dictatorial h to suppress the four

Xiao Se sent another person flying with his palm, but he didn't want to come close to Yan Wushi+ Instead, he tried to sneak towards the carriage where Yuwen Qing was hiding, not forgetting to taunt Bai Rong as he s than you can accomplish It was such a sed to blow it Hoill Master dare to assign you anyon a tree next to hihed, ”But Senior Brother Xiao didn't tell me that Sect Master Yan would be with theo confront Sect Master Yan face to face?”

Xiao Se sneered and did not reply He stroked a pale, and the latter i's astonished face

”Master asked us to kill hihts Hurry up and helpYan Wushi+ in place!” Xiao Se snapped at Bai Rong, but he was soon caught into another fight

Even though these imperial martial artists were no match for Xiao Se, since they outnu other tasks While the gap between the two parties' strengths was not insurmountable, such a difference in h the power of their inner qi or the exquisiteness of their movements; it instead relied mostly on their practical experience and techniques As soon as Xiao Se beat one, another would pop up It annoyed Xiao Se so ive way to i remained unmoved, ”We already talked about it before we left! Sect Master only askedI just used all ht to escape fro even no can I still have the strength to help you fight?”

Xiao Se clenched his teeth in rage as he kindly 'greeted' all of Bai Rong's ancestors and relatives in his head, including her ht by a few people and could not find a chance to kill Yuwen Qing

Seeing that Yuwen Qing was running toward another carriage while dragging a beauty behind hier flare up inside him He couldn't help but use all of his martial power to quickly take down a few ene

At this tiave a cold laugh, thinking how stupid this personinto the forest would be a better choice than staying here Heto strike another pale like what he had done just now

This time, however, his , a strea hiush of inner qi, the doors of the carriage flung open and revealed the pale and beautiful face inside
