C78 (1/2)
Ye Shisui was frightened. He didn't care about how deep his heart went when he was alive. He just wanted to hide behind the people around him. In the chaos, he called out the Xie Clan's name.
The old lady was old and scattered. He stood in the yard and looked around, hoping to catch a glimpse of Si Xiang.
When someone lit a candle, someone put it out. When the candles were lit, one was extinguished while the other one was extinguished. Once again, no one dared to touch the candles, fearing that there would be something dirty on them.
In the chaos, Ye Jinsu carried Little Red to a corner to hide. People who were scared to death ran around, but no one could recognize them. Ye JinRu and Xie Jiuchen were pushed around in the middle of the crowd a few times.
No one heard the cry for help, and no one could tell who was calling.
It was a mess.
Amidst the chaos, Ye Jinsu grabbed Little Red and whispered into her ear, ”Someone is watching us.”
In the darkness, Little Red suddenly quivered and looked at Ye Jinsu with blinking eyes.
”I'm afraid they're heading for our Twilight Garden.” She knew that it wouldn't be a good thing if Lady Xie told her to come here.
Ye JinRu and the other girls beside her were all staring at her.
Xiao Hong was obviously nervous. She looked around to make sure that everything was in chaos, then when no one looked at the corner again, she nervously asked, ”Miss, how did this happen?”
Ye Jinxiu lowered her eyes.
Based on the current situation, it was obvious that the Xie Clan was worried about him. They wanted to confirm whether he was really poisoned and was sick to the bed.
Secondly, there must be someone else.
If Ye Jinsu wanted to continue deceiving Lady Xie, she could only continue acting calm and collected.
However, if they kept it hidden like this, the news wouldn't be able to get out.
Presumably, the Xie Clan's troops were already headed for the Twilight Garden.
Ye Jinsu was silent for two seconds before she spoke, ”You go find a way to confuse the Xie Clan and her people. I'll go find Shuofeng.”
Now only the wind can do it.
It was because of this chaos created by Shuo Feng that Ye Jinsu was able to escape from the Xie family's line of sight and speak to Xiao Hong.
Xiao Hong nodded seriously, calmed down a lot, and walked towards the direction of the Xie Clan.
Ye Jinsu was now standing next to a beam pillar. There were a few people flustered beside her, white figures flickering in and out of the darkness. Ye Jinsu looked at the place where Shuofeng had appeared and took advantage of the darkness to feel his way over.
There was no moon tonight.
The previously dark sky was now frighteningly dark. There was no light at all, and the faint sound of thunder could be heard in the distance. But this thunder, hidden in the confusion of the crowd, no one heard it clearly.
Ye Jinsu did not either.
If it was daytime, everyone would probably see a storm brewing.
Boom — —
There was a clap of thunder.
Lightning struck from the south, splitting the sky in half.
This loud sound covered up all the sounds. Ye Jinxiu and the others were so frightened that they trembled. Lightning illuminated the entire yard. In that moment, Ye Jinsu saw that someone had unlatched the gate.
Those who were close swarmed out.
Those who were far away also felt the order and crowded towards them.
The people who had gathered outside rushed in with candles. They did not understand the situation, so they were not afraid.
In the blink of an eye, the courtyard was lit up once again.
