“Yes!” the guards answered in a lower voice, and mercilessly stabbed at Murong Xue with their long swords.
“Want to catch me? How ignorant you all are!”
Murong Xue sneered as she tapped the ground with her toes, drawing a graceful curve in the air. She dexterously flew out the encirclement of those guards, and landed outside the main house lightly.
The escape of Murong Xue got on the guards’ nerves. They were about to go after her when Qin Yuyan, who slowly came out in her bamboo chair under the careful support of two portly maids.
Murong Xue curved her lips upwards when she saw Qin Yuyan. “You really did me a favour by saveing me the effort of looking for you.!”
Taking one step forward, Murong Xue pushed that two portly maids away, and pulled Qin Yuyan up from the bamboo chair.
Qin Yuyan couldn’t help but let out a cry as a result of the harsh pain from her wound while being roughly pulled by Murong Xue. She was suddenly stunned by the faint scent of fire lotus, “You are ……Murong Xue?”
“Of course. Who else will set the trap for you? ” Murong Xue spit these words out as she pulled Qin Yuyan off the bamboo chair as a shield in front of herself, and relentlessly put her soft sword on Qin Yuyan’s neck. She cast ferocious eyes on Qin Haoyan, Ye Yichen and the guards, shouting, “All of you, another step forward and she dies!”
With the sharp blade pressed against her neck, Qin Yuyan had no doubt that her throat would be relentlessly cut by Murong Xue if Ye Yichen and Qin Haoyan dared to act rashly.
Qin Yuyan’s delicate face became slightly bloodless as a result of her fear. She looked in the direction of Ye Yichen and Qin Haoyan and stuttered, “Yichen, brother, please help me!”
Ye Yichen just stood there motionlessly, and gave Murong Xue a meaningful stare filled with sorrow and sadness.
Qin Haoyan raised his guard up. He slowly retracted his steps, and coldly stared at Murong Xue,, “Murong Xue, what are you going to do? ”
“Prince Qin, what do you think I will do after knowing about your plot?” Murong Xue raised her eyebrows as she looked at him, and asked ironically.
“Let go of my sister!” shouted Qin Haoyan as he gave Murong Xue a piercing stare, with maliciousness flashing in his eyes.
“Don’t worry. I’m rational, and won’t indiscriminately kill the innocent. But I will never show mercy to those vicious hypocrites and villains.” said Murong Xue, stressing each syllable.
“What are you up to?” snorted Qin Haoyan as he raised his eyebrows, with ruthlessness flowing in his vicious and presumptuous pupils.
“It’s simple. I just want to let you know that I’m the owner of my eyes, and none of you can take them away without my permission!” Murong Xue answered, and stressed the last few syllables, with hatred gleaming in her pupils.
Hearing her words, Qin Haoyan raised his eyebrows, and generously waved his hand, saying, “Okay, you may leave if you let my sister go.”
While, Murong Xue sneered disdainfully, “Prince Qin, I’m not a fool. With at least a hundred of your invisible guards in this courtyard, I’ll be immediately dismembered if I let her go. ”
Qin Haoyan raised his eyebrows, and glanced at Murong Xue casually, asking, “What do you want to do?”
Murong Xue narrowed her eyes and answered, “That’s easy ……”
Unexpectedly, a vicious attack was thrown to Murong Xue from her back. Murong Xue turned around, only to find that an invisible guard in brown had appeared behind her secretly, and was going to stab her violently with a dagger!
Meanwhile, Qin Yuyan, who stood in front of Murong Xue, suddenly drew out her soft sword, and mercilessly tried to stab Murong with a hairpin!
“Never did they intend to let me go. Their negotiation was merely a trap to gouge out my eyes this time. How vile and barefaced they are!”
“As for Qin Yuyan, the noble princess of Mo Bei, how is it possible for her to lose her eyes willingly? Now that they backed out first, I will show no mercy.”
Murong Xue grasped the wrist of that invisible guard, and violently stabbed at Qin Yuyan’s eyes. With a crisp sound, the white cloth covering Qin Yuyan’s eyes was scratched to pieces, and her blood splattered into the air.
Qin Yuyan fell down to the ground, with her eyes covered by her hands. Her miserable shriek resounded through the sky, “Ah …… My eyes, my eyes ……”
“Sister!” shouted Qin Haoyan as he realized the severe situation. He hurried to Qin Yuyan and held her up, only to find that her eyes had been injured by the dagger.
Streams of blood ran down Qin Yuyan’s cheeks. Seeing this, Murong Xue smiled coldly. “Qin Yuyan’s eyeballs are scratched, and the nerves in her eyes will be withered soon. This time, no matter how skillful physicians they sent for are, her eyes won’t be cured!”
“Murong Xue, catch Murong Xue now! We can still replace my sister’s eyes!” ordered Qin Haoyan in a harsh voice.
“Yes, sir!” answered the guards as they came to their senses after hearing his order, and ferociously pounced on Murong Xue.
Murong Xue sneered as she tapped the ground with her toes, and dexterously flied out the encirclement of those guards and ran forward quickly. “Want to catch me? Stop dreaming!”
“Catch her!” the commander of guards ordered. All guards who were armed with long swords hurried to chase after Murong Xue.
Suddenly, countless invisible guards poured out from each corner of the high walls. Finding no way out between the high walls, Murong Xue rushed towards the backyard. “Numerous as guards are, they are only paper tigers, and only Ye Yichen and Qin Haoyan are the real threats to me since they have powerful fighting skills, and will help Qin Yuyan. Death will be the only choice for me if both of them are against me. So leaving is the best choice.”
Guards shouted urgently while chasing, “Hurry up! Murong Xue is right there. Don’t let her get away with it!”
Ye Yichen still kept motionless as a post, and stared at Qin Yuyan who was whining as a result of the severe pain, and then at Murong Xue who was making her rapid escape with an obscure look on his face.
Murong Xue ran into the backyard, and then along the corridor quickly, only to find that a group of guards was running towards her.
Murong Xue raised her eyebrows, and jumped out of the corridor. She ran along the bluestone road, yet, there was another group of guards waiting at its end.
Murong Xue blinked as she ran into the garden quickly. However, she was disappointed to find that a group of guards had appeared in the front of the garden.
Being intercepted from all directions, Murong Xue realized that there was no way out, and frowned tightly. She looked everywhere anxiously, and found a pond behind the flowers.
Murong Xue’ face lit up as she ran behind the rockery, and jumped into the pond under its cover.
When four groups of guards arrived, there was no sign of Murong Xue at all. At the sight of this, one of the guards raised his voic, “Where is she? She was here just now!”
“She couldn’t have gone far, search carefully!”
“Yes, sir!” the guards separated, and looked for Murong Xue back and forth in the garden and rockery. A pebble was kicked into the water of the pond accidentally, and the clear water rippled faintly. Seeing this, two clever guards violently plunged their long swords into the water after making eye contact.
