C16 (2/2)

”If you don't like it, then return it to me?” Su Mu looked at the stick in his hand and then looked at the candied fruit that was missing from Lin Yi's hand.

Lin Yi didn't think this was appropriate. While he was still hesitating, Su Mu had already bitten off one of the fruits from his hand. Lin Yi's hand trembled, and the rest of the poison fell to the ground.

”Sigh!” Su Mu didn't have the time to pick up the phone and had a look of regret on his face.

”How about we go back and buy it?” For some unknown reason, Lin Yi felt that he had let down Su Mu.

”Forget it, let's go back.” Su Mu turned into an alley. She had already figured out the paths here. After a few more steps, she would reach the Wu residence. It was much faster than the main road.

But... Su Mu looked at the black-clothed man who appeared in front of him with regret. He didn't know whether this group of people were targeting him or the extraordinary Lin Yi.

Su Mu subconsciously stood in front of Lin Yi. No matter what, Su Mu could die, but the current Crown Prince Lin Yi could not die here.

There were many people who had willingly stood in front of him and fought to their deaths for him because they knew that their deaths could bring them a better life, but Su Mu was different. If they didn't guess wrongly, Su Mu carried the hope of the Su Clan, and under the shadow of the Yan Clan, he couldn't do anything for her.

”Who are you?” Su Mu asked. Her body was weak and her words were light.

The man in black ignored them. He brandished his sword in the same posture and charged towards Su Mu and Su Li.

Lin Yi pushed Su Mu away and used his fan as a weapon to meet Su Mu head on.

Su Mu knew that she was just a burden here. She gritted her teeth and decided to help the reinforcements. She believed that Lin Yi would be able to hold on. However, the black clothed person did not plan on letting Su Mu go. Out of the seven black clothed men, one of them went straight at Su Mu. With a swing of his long sword, a bloody wound was left on Su Mu's hand. Su Mu had trained under a martial arts master for one to two years and had never had a chance to practice true body strengthening. When he fought against the man in black, Su Mu did not even have the chance to fight back.

Lin Yi's martial arts skills were not bad, but it was not as good as the seven, not to mention that these black-clothed men were very similar to the outlaws, only attacking while not defending. On the other hand, Lin Yi did not have this kind of spirit, he was very worried.

The white light on the edge of the sword reflected into Su Mu's eyes. Su Mu gritted his teeth. She really couldn't accept it. The Su Clan still hadn't returned to normal yet, so how could she just die like that?

The man standing behind the black clothed man took a step to the side, revealing a slightly ordinary face. If it wasn't for the scar extending from the corner of his brows to behind his ears, Su Mu would have forgotten about this person's face in the next second.

The man did not say anything more. With a flip back, his long sword was like a swimming snake as sword light flashed and killed one of the people behind Lin Yi.

With the help of such a skilled martial artist, Lin Yi instantly felt much more relaxed.

”Leave one behind!” Lin Yi was a step too late. His long sword pierced through the throat of the man in black, and blood splashed all over his face.

After all, he was his savior. Lin Yi didn't know what to say, so he clasped his fists towards the man and thanked him.

The man nodded. He turned around and extended his hand to Su Mu, who was still sitting on the ground in shock.

Su Mu did not hesitate and used the momentum to stand up, ”I am Su Mu. May I ask who you are?”

”Zhou Ye from Wu City, fortunately with young master's help, my twin brother was saved from starvation on the streets. He is here to thank young master for saving his life.” Zhou Ye knelt down and kowtowed towards Su Mu, ”My father's mother passed away early. There was no silver in the family, so I thought I would leave my brother with no worries. Unexpectedly, my aunt mercilessly chased him out the year before.”

”Your brother is?” Su Mu avoided that head and helped Zhou Ye up.

”At that time, he had already been chased out and begged by the roadside. Young Master once bought him a bun and left him some silver. It was because of that silver that I was able to reach Huai Liu County from Wu City.” Zhou Ye stood up and bowed to Su Mu.

Su Mu thought of the little beggar who was the same age as his younger brother. He didn't expect that their carelessly obtained good karma would bear fruit today. ”No matter what, I still have to thank Brother Zhou for today's matter.”

Lin Yi stood at the side, touching his fan bone. He remained silent, not knowing what to think. Su Mu was worried about his safety. He told Zhou Ye where he would stay and then bid him farewell.

But whether it was the yamen or the Wu Clan, they both said that they had never seen the two of them. One was a felon from the imperial court, the other was the crown prince, regardless of which one it was, there was still someone behind them who wanted their lives!

He could only stay at the yamen and wait for news. Bao Fu could not sit still as he walked and stopped to get up, but in the end, he lost his patience and rushed out, just in time to see the two of them covered in blood.

Lin Yi was wearing white clothes and most of his clothes were dyed red. Although Su Mu had less blood on him, his face was pale and sickly.

Wang Dong supported Su Mu back to his room and fried some medicine in front of Su Mu. Su Mu looked at Wang Yu, who had a darkened face, and felt a little bit guilty. She stuffed the black medicinal liquid into her mouth. This time, she was the one who was inconsiderate.

Wang Dong didn't want to scold her and didn't dare to vent his anger on Lin Yi. He could only suppress his anger and let Su Mu rest.
