15 Meeting the pas (2/2)

However, Jiao Yu did not know that during these three years, the one that drastically changed was her, herself. She's got all the means, method and ability within her hand. And with the help of Liu Sheng Xiao, she was able to become a new person and instead of treating it as a second chance, it became her rebirth.

Jiao Yu was actually impressed, because they could not tell the truth to anyone outside the village, they hired three scoundrels whom they can dispose of anytime to solve their problems for them.

”That is right, it is all me.”Jiao Yu's voice was very soft and her eyes were smiling. So soft that only the man in front could hear it. She said, ”The person who was supposed to fall in that pit of ground, but why at the end it turned into the whole land of Xiangli village burned to the ground? Naturally it was not a coincidence. It was all me.”

Before he could register what she just said, Jiao Yu had already got closer to him and opened her mouth to speak softly by his ear, ”I want to repay them with such a big gift like this. Do you three think that it is alright?”

The man only stared at her but then, his eyesight were cut in to two and he saw red. One did not know when Jiao Yu got her hands on her small knives hidden in her sleeves and slashed it unto the man's face as a horizontal line drawn in red was already on his face, blood splashed everywhere and the man gurgled as he tried to speak and hold his face together.

The two men behind him did not seem to notice such big movements and only did they became aware of what had just transpired when splashes of liquid sprayed on them when the man in front turned around to them.

Both was startled and was about to pull the knives and daggers on their belt but it was too late as a shadow swiftly leaped towards them, like a tiger hunting its prey in the darkness.

Two bodies fell limply on the ground and once again, a long silence was heard inside the wood shed as a single person emerged outside.

Jiao Yu thought that the night show had finished, however, when she just got out of the wood shed, an arrow was shot passed her and plunge itself on the door. Jiao Yu immediately dodged it and was only scratched by it slightly, her eyes darting towards where the arrow camefrom and a man in a scruffy clothes was already running from a distance.

She sprinted and followed the man, with her blood boiling hot with the thirst of blood.

.....

Jiao Yu ran without stopping and darted one knife at a time to secure a hit on the already running man, however, because there were too many trees around them, the man made good use of them as shields.

But it did not matter to Jiao Yu, who has more experience in terms of these type of location. This was her arena and her bode. Instead of following the trail of the man, Jiao Yu took a detour and climb up a tree when she had reach a desire position to hunt.

The man was full of fear and was momentarily happy when he looked behind him, that no one was following him anymore, but who would've thought that when he just got to pass a tree, something fell on him, tackling him on the ground.

Jiao Yu who had successfully got her hands on the man, swiftly jabbed her hand on the man's throat with no rest and took one arrow from the quiver and thrusts it on the man's face.

However, before the tip of the arrowhead reached the man's face, Jiao Yu's hand was flung away by a force with the arrow thrown to the ground with a 'thud'.

When the man under Jiao Yu, saw that he finally had a chance, he pushed Jiao Yu aside and ran away. Jiao Yu stared viciously at the instigator who let the man escape and was about to turn away to follow the man, a silver flash passed her eye and halted her steps.

Near her right foot was a silver knife with a jade handle. Jiao Yu could not pinpoint the location of the instigator and looked around her but to no avail.

”Show yourself!” Jiao Yu said impatiently.

A low chuckle was heard and a voice said lightheartedly, ”So hot headed and impatient.”

”I did not know that a fragile and weak young lady as you are, have such an adorable personality.”

The voice spoke somewhere but Jiao Yu still could not point where was the person located.

As the wind blew, the leaves from the tree flew around. Under a tree, a man stood there with his hands clasped at his back, leisurely taking one step each forward and the moon slowly casts its light towards him, from his feet, robe and until to his face.

It was the same man she saw at the qinwang's fu.
