Bai Aoxue’s words made Jianjia silent.
Bai Aoxue knew that Jianjia was clear of her implications.
“Sister Aoxue, I know what you want to say, but I don’t think my choice is wrong. If I hadn’t met you in the peach blossom mountain, maybe I would have been there with my master all my life. But since I met you, I have been more and more willing to go out and discover another world. I can’t remember clearly what had happened before I met the master, but now I know what I want to do and what I would like to protect,” Jianjia looked up at Bai Aoxue, saying softly but firmly.
Hearing Jianjia’s words, Bai Aoxue was slightly startled. Looking at Jianjia’s firm gaze, Bai Aoxue knew that she had determined the way by herself.
To be ordinary was not her destiny.
Maybe, the reason why she stopped Jianjia so desperately was that she didn’t want Jianjia to be like her, lonely and forlorn, which were against her will. Only people who had really experienced such feelings could know how terrible they were.
Once you tasted it, you would be addicted to it for a long time. As long as there was a little light, you would firmly grasp it. Even if it would burn your body and destroy your soul, you would never let it go.
She didn’t hope that Jianjia would face a difficult road.
But now it seemed that she worried too much. Although Jianjia had made her choice, she didn’t have the experience like her. At least in the future, Jianjia would be accompanied by her.
Either Jianjia would go the wrong way or take the detour, she could tell her in time and correct her.
In that case, why should she be so worried? She just needed to tell Jianjia when she was wrong.
With that in mind, Bai Aoxue smiled. She couldn’t help to reach out and stroke Jianjia’s hair, saying, “Remember your choice. Don’t look back and regret it even if there are fraught with thorns in front of you, you have to keep going.”
Hearing Bai Aoxue’s words, Jianjia looked at Bai Aoxue with her curved eyes full of joy, firmly nodded and said, “Sister Aoxue, you can be at ease. I will definitely have my own world as you do!”
Bai Aoxue nodded and said with her mouth slightly opened, “I believe in you.”
After saying, she put the two daggers that she wanted to take out back into the sandalwood box.
“It seems that I won’t be able to touch them for a long time,” Bai Aoxue said quietly, with a bit of nostalgia in her words.
Jun Yeyan had forged the two daggers for her, and she had been carrying them as weapons when going through fire and water. She was really reluctant to put them aside.
“Mistress, we’re leaving the city.” Li Xiao’s voice came from outside the carriage.
“Go ahead. Pretend that we haven’t found them and kill them five miles away,” Bai Aoxue said with her mouth slightly opened, her eyes turning cold.
The carriage slowly came out of the capital of the Nanyue Dynasty, and no one blocked or checked them when they passed the checkpoint, which made Bai Aoxue confused for a while.
But she was finally relieved when they were out of the Nanyue Dynasty.
Eventually, she left that place.
Here, Jun Yeyan and his subordinates, who came to Ju Xiao’s house to rescue him, found nothing abnormal.
“Master, are we in the ambush?” Ying Er asked, observing the surroundings in confusion.
Jun Yeyan said in a low voice, “It’s so quiet that there must be traps. Separate to act. Send a signal when Ju Xiao is found.”
Hearing Jun Yeyan’s words, Shadows all agreed.
“Be careful. Do not take any dangerous action when you are single,” Jun Yeyan looked at the surrounding people, ordering them rigorously.
Shadows all felt slightly moved. They nodded earnestly and then quickly separated.
After leaving Shadows, Jun Yeyan quickly headed for Ju Xiao’s study.
Along the way, Jun Yeyan looked around but couldn’t see any attendants, which was even more strange.
Coming to study outside, Jun Yeyan felt it was surprisingly quiet. Although the atmosphere in the study was mysterious, Jun Yeyan knew there were five people inside according to his instinct.
Slightly leaning his body to one side, Jun Yeyan hid behind the doorpost. With one hand waving, a blade was tossed with an internal force, knocking the door of the study open.
The people inside noticed the attack and two of them rushed out. Seeing that, Jun Yeyan stopped hiding and faced enemies directly!
The two men sneered when they saw Jun Yeyan didn’t dodge, and the swords in their hands pointed directly at Jun Yeyan’s heart!
They thought they could hit Jun Yeyan with a blow of internal force, but when they approached, Jun Yeyan had disappeared.
“Move quickly! He’s behind you!” The people in the room shouted, hoping the two could escape.
Since it was too late for them to escape, the two wanted to turn around to attack him, but Jun Yeyan didn’t give them a chance. In a flash, Jun Yeyan had already broken one person’s neck easily.
And no one saw when Jun Yeyan began to act.
The other looked at Jun Yeyan in horror and stabbed Jun Yeyan violently with a long sword. Jun Yeyan single-handedly picked up another man’s long sword, swinging it with one hand, and the sword pierced the man’s chest like a sharp arrow that nobody could escape.
The end of the two lives happened in a moment, but no one saw clearly when Jun Yeyan started to act.
Before they came to their mind, Jun Yeyan had arrived at the door of Ju Xiao’s study.
The people in the room, at this moment, were extremely unstable because they never expected that Jun Yeyan would be so tough and violent.
Stepping into the study, Jun Yeyan saw Ju Xiao, who was tightly bound and wounded with countless injuries.
“Don’t come over! Or I will kill him immediately!” The man in black looked at Jun Yeyan and said frantically. His eyes were filled with strong hatred.
The man in black held a sword with one hand against Ju Xiao’s neck, and the sleeve of the other hand dangled. Seeing that, Jun Yeyan felt that he was somewhat familiar with the man’s face, but he couldn’t recall his name.
“Let Ju Xiao go and I can make you die a bit more comfortably,” said Jun Yeyan, who stared coldly at the man in black. His arrogant expression of eyes made the man annoyed.
“Let him go? Jun Yeyan, are you kidding? I, Suxiao, ended in today’s situation because of the little bitch Bai Aoxue! Do you think I will let you off?” The man in black shouted.
When Jun Yeyan heard Suxiao’s words, his eyes turned cold without a trace of warmth as if he was staring at a dead man.
Looking at Suxiao again, Jun Yeyan just remembered who he was.
“Oh… I didn’t expect Qi Liange to be so kindhearted that those who betrayed him could still be alive,” said Jun Yeyan with mockery.
Hearing that, Suxiao roared with blood-red eyes, “If not for Bai Aoxue, Zi Xi wouldn’t have had such a miserable end, and I wouldn’t have kidnapped the princess for the sake of Zi Xi and then been expelled by his Majesty!”
“You deserve it! What a mistake that Qi Liange didn’t kill you,” Jun Yeyan looked at Suxiao and said impolitely.
Hearing Jun Yeyan’s words, Suxiao scorned, “Whatever you say. But don’t you wonder why there are only a few people in this yard? Don’t you wonder whether Bai Aoxue, whom you separate from, are alive or dead?”
When Jun Yeyan heard Suxiao’s words, his golden pupils shrank fiercely as if they were cat pupils. Suxiao suddenly felt terrified!
While Jun Yeyan was shocked, another man beside Suxiao, after exchanging a wink with him, came silently behind Jun Yeyan.
Looking at the scene, Ju Xiao struggled but failed to make a sound.
When the man was about to succeed, he was thrown out by Jun Yeyan’s sudden burst of the inner force!
The man in black flew out and hit his body against the wall. The white wall was stained with bewitching red blood.
Suxiao also took a few steps back, and his throat had a smell of rust.
The corners of his mouth were bloodstained.
Unexpectedly, Jun Yeyan would be so powerful. Suxiao looked at Jun Yeyan incredibly.
As for the man who was flown off, Jun Yeyan didn’t give him the opportunity to get up. He picked up the brush on the table. Without his turning back, the brush was accurately pierced the man’s eyebrow and made him embedded in the wall.
The bewitching blood-red flower slowly bloomed, making people feel chilling but enchanted.
Suxiao felt panicked, clutching Ju Xiao as a life-saving straw.
Just then, a few black figures quickly passed by and came to Jun Yeyan.
“Master, I have searched around and no one is here,” Shadows all came to report.
Jun Yeyan said blandly, “Ready to go back. His people have gone to ambush Xue.”
When Shadows heard it, all of them frowned fiercely.
Suxiao looked at Jun Yeyan and said with a deep growl, “Jun Yeyan, if you let me go, I will spare this pathetic henchman!”
“Henchman? Aren’t you a henchman of the Liu family who had been lurking beside Qi Liange for so many years? However loyal you had been, you still betrayed him. Do you think I will spare you after you have hurt my people?” Jun Yeyan looked at Suxiao cruelly. In his eyes, Suxiao was nothing but an ant.
Hearing Jun Yeyan’s words, Suxiao was suddenly furious and shouted, “Since you don’t want this henchman to be alive, today I will kill him and perish with him together!”
When he waved the sword and prepared to stab Ju Xiao, an unknown object flew over there and hit him.
“Ouch!” Suxiao snorted in pain.
The sword in his hand also dropped instantly.
Ying Er fast stepped forward and severely kicked Suxiao off with one foot. Other Shadows also quickly untied Ju Xiao.
At this moment, Ju Xiao was so weak that he had no strength to speak.
Jun Yeyan quickly stepped forward, locked a few acupoints of Ju Xiao. He looked at Suxiao and said, “Broke the hamstrings of his limbs, tie him here and burn the place with fire. When Qi Liange looks for Ju Xiao, he will have no clues. This is exactly what I want, allowing Ju Xiao to leave here secretly.”
Ying Er obeyed his order.
Jun Yeyan took Shadows to leave the study quickly.
“There is a carriage at the back door. You protect Ju Xiao and follow behind me. Ju Xiao will be okay for the time being, and I will rush to chase Xue first,” Jun Yeyan looked at Shadows and said blandly.
