C40 (2/2)

After hearing him take two steps, Yun Qianliang lazily leaned against the wall and smiled. ”It's really you!”

Previously, she only felt that their bodies were similar, so she spoke to probe him. After he took two steps forward, the unique sound of his footsteps allowed her to immediately confirm that the person who wanted to kill her was Ji Qichi.

Footsteps?

Ji Qichi paused, her eyes drooping as she stared at the tip of her shoes in a daze.

Could it be that all the previous speculations were completely wrong? The Second Miss that the Yun Family doted on as a treasure was not the descendant of that person, and that that person's true descendant was none other than the haystack direct daughter Yun Qianliang?

It was the first time that Ji Qichi doubted his own plans, she only guessed his identity after hearing him speak.

Yun Qianliang leaned against the wall, her eyes sizing up the structure of the broken house, trying to think of a way to escape.

”The Jin Wang sent you to kill me. It seems that the poison in my body was indeed administered by the Qin family. That's why they impatiently wanted to kill me after I probed them so that they could silence me.” Yun Qianliang lowered his head, the tip of his foot lightly touching the ground, drawing circles on the ground.

Ji Qichi quietly listened to what she had to say, and thought about his next plan, should he make a move on the person in front of his?

But in the moment of hesitation, Ji Qichi thrusted the sword in her hand towards her.

With the sound of the door breaking, a figure quickly appeared in front of Yun Qianliang, protecting her under his body.

The long sword pierced his shoulder blade, Gu Yicheng could only groan in pain.

Yun Qianliang suddenly raised his head to look at Gu Yicheng. His red lips were slightly opened and his eyes were filled with shock.

The sword that had pierced his shoulder blade remained in his body, and blood dripped onto the back of her outstretched hand. The warm blood made her feel hot.

A figure floated in, he had already stabilized himself, the muslin hat on his head was still swaying, and the sword in his hand was already at Ji Qichi's neck.

”Let them go.” The man ordered coldly.

Ji Qichi gradually loosened her grip on the sword, her eyes were as alert as a beast, but just as he was about to release the sword, she suddenly tightened her grip on the sword, turned her body, and used her elbow to attack the person behind him, and changed the situation.

The person reacted very quickly. He struck out with the Falling Sky Sword, and the two swords clashed.

Gu Yicheng leaned his hand on the wall, lowered his eyes and looked at the shocked people, retracted his arm, and laughed: ”This debt is big enough.”

”Why?” Yun Qianliang asked in disbelief, unable to understand his actions.

”This Dowager loves heroes to save beauties.” Gu Yicheng turned his shoulders, and looked at the two who were fooling around in the house, ”You know them?”

Yun Qianliang followed his line of sight, frowned and shook her head, ”The one who killed me was Ji Qichi.”

The other one, she thought it was Gu Yicheng's man.

Gu Yicheng nodded and did not join the battle. After observing for a while, he took Yun Qianliang away.

The assassins died on the ground outside the house, the Gu family's guards had already come to receive them, ignoring Ji Qichi and the mysterious savior inside, they organized the scene and left the outskirts.

Just as Gu Yicheng and the rest left, the savior that came along did not have any intentions of fighting anymore, he threw a Smoke Bomb on the ground and left.

Ji Qichi did not keep up with him as she walked out of the smoke region calmly and took off the mask on her head.

Ji Qichi deeply gazed in the direction that the mysterious person disappeared in, the expression in her eyes dark and heavy.

The reason why Yun Qianliang appeared to help out when she was at a disadvantage was obviously because of Yun Qianliang's safety. Seems like he should change her direction and investigate Yun Qianliang's situation.

Ji Qichi rubbed her forehead, then placed her finger on her lips and whistled, and a horse slowly came out from the forest.
