Yun Chujiu did not sleep well the whole night. Early the next morning, someone shouted outside the courtyard, “Junior Sister Little Jiu! Junior Sister Little Jiu! Someone is looking for you outside the Mountain Gate. They said it’s very important!”
Yun Chujiu was stunned. She ran outside the courtyard and saw a male disciple standing outside. She asked curiously, “Who is looking for me?”
“I don’t know him. He had a mask on and his body was covered in blood…”
Before the male disciple could finish his words, Yun Chujiu was already flying toward Spirit Radiance Sect’s Mountain Gate on the chopping board! Originally, Di Beiming’s secret guards were in charge of protecting the Yun family. After the League of Assassins was taken over by Sect Master Zhen, they no longer took on assassination missions and instead took on some guard missions. Therefore, Yun Chujiu hired people from the League of Assassins to protect the Yun family.
Elder Qi had yet to develop the antidote for Gold Face and the others, but he had developed something for them to take once a month. Therefore, Gold Face often traveled between the League of Assassins and Spirit Radiance City and occasionally stayed with the Yun family.
Looking at the days, Gold Face should have been at the Yun family. Why would he come looking for her with blood all over his body? Yun Chujiu’s heart sank and her palms kept breaking out in cold sweat. Nothing would happen to the Yun family. Nothing would happen to them.
After Yun Chujiu exited the Mountain Gate, she saw Gold Face leaning against a rock, his body covered in blood.
“Gold Face, what happened to you? What happened?” Yun Chujiu took out a Heaven-grade blood coagulation pill and fed it to Gold Face.
Gold Face saw Yun Chujiu and anxiously said, “Miss Jiu, something happened to the Yun family! Last night, a group of masked men came. They had high spiritual power, and they killed everyone they saw. In the entire Yun mansion, except for me and Old Master Yun, all of them were killed! Originally, I wanted to protect Old Master Yun and find you, but I didn’t expect to be kidnapped halfway. They asked me to deliver a letter to you. Otherwise, I definitely wouldn’t have survived!”
Yun Chujiu’s head buzzed. She could not believe what she had heard. With a trembling voice, she asked, “You said that the rest of the people are dead? Chun Yu is dead? Housekeeper Ji is also dead? Those guards who followed you are also dead?”
Gold Face’s eyes were red. “Yes, Miss Jiu. Those people don’t care about the truth or innocence. They killed everyone they saw. Even the maids and servants weren’t spared. It seems that they wanted to take Old Master Yun as a hostage. That’s why Old Master Yun’s life was spared. Otherwise, I’m afraid…”
“Give me the letter!”
Yun Chujiu took the letter from Gold Face. There were a few lines of words written on it: “Yun Chujiu, if you want to save Yun Xiaotian, you have to go to Eagle Slope alone by midnight tonight. If I find out that you brought someone else, I will kill Yun Xiaotian.”
Yun Chujiu’s face paled. After a moment, she said in a low voice, “Gold Face, wait for me at the fork in the road ahead. I will go back and get some things. Then, I will meet up with you.”
Gold Face nodded. He thought that Yun Chujiu was asking Master Xuanyuan for help, so he was a little uncertain. The Spirit Radiance Sect had never interfered with worldly affairs. If something happened to Yun Chujiu, they would definitely help her, but he was afraid that they might not be able to interfere with the Yun family’s affairs.
Yun Chujiu’s heart was in shambles along the way. The only thing she was glad about was that her uncle’s family had gone to visit her aunt’s family a few days ago. Otherwise… Yun Chujiu did not dare to even think about it.
‘Chun Yu, the silly and cute little servant girl, and housekeeper Ji… Every time, they would bring the servants to help me fix the door with a horrified expression. How… how could they die just like that?
‘There were also the guards who had followed Gold Face. They once played cards with me on a flying spirit tool. They also helped me at the crucial moment during the League of Assassins face-off. They all died?
‘There was also grandfather, who had fallen into the hands of those evil people. He would definitely be subjected to all kinds of torture. No matter who the person behind the scenes is, even if I, Yun Chujiu, was at the ends of the Earth, I will kill you to avenge those who had died!’
