During this time, Liu Mingyue sent someone to deliver a thousand taels of silver notes as an advance payment for the medical fees. She did not come to trouble me again, probably knowing that I was the only one who could save Xie Wuyuan's life.
Xie Wuyuan had sent people to invite me several times, wanting to "talk" with me, but I had refused each time.
On the seventh day, in the evening, I was in my room polishing my knife when a sudden commotion and sounds of fighting erupted outside. The door was then forcefully thrown open.
Liu Mingyue burst in, dressed in night clothes and holding a longsword, stumbling and covered in blood. "Su Yan! We need to go! They are coming to kill us!" Her voice was urgent.
"Who?" I asked.
"It’s the second son of Noble House! He has colluded with the Southern Border Sorcerer to kill the Marquis!"
It turned out to be an internal conflict. "Where is the Marquis?"
"He got trapped while trying to protect me as I came to find you!" Liu Mingyue's face drained of color. "Su Yan! I know you hate him! But he’s about to die! This time it’s real! Please, save him!"
She actually knelt down before me. The proud daughter of the general's household, the wife of Yongning Marquis, was now in a pitiful state, begging me to save her husband.
What a twist of fate.
I looked at her and remained silent for a moment before sheathing my knife. "Lead the way."
The inn was already surrounded. A dark mass of people wielded weapons, exuding a murderous aura. At the forefront stood a young nobleman in splendid attire—Xie Wuyuan's second brother, Xie Wu Li. Beside him was a gaunt old man dressed in black robes with a sinister expression; he was likely the Southern Border Sorcerer.
"Liu Mingyue! Where is Xie Wuyuan? Hand him over!" Xie Wu Li shouted.
Inside the inn, Xie Wuyuan's guards were fighting desperately, but they were outnumbered and on the verge of collapse.
I didn't charge through the front door. Instead, I quietly slipped in through the back window with Liu Mingyue, heading straight for Xie Wuyuan's room on the second floor.
At the door, several guards lay in pools of blood. Xie Wuyuan leaned against the headboard, a sword in his hand, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.
When he saw us enter, he paused for a moment before revealing a bitter smile. "Yan Er, you came after all."
"Stop the nonsense," I said as I stepped forward. "Can you still move?"
"I won't die just yet."
"That's good." I tossed him a porcelain vial. "This is an antidote to temporarily suppress the poison. Swallow it. Liu Mingyue, take care of him."
I drew my knife. "Leave the people outside to me."
"Yan Er! Be careful!" Xie Wuyuan urged.
I didn't look back; my figure flashed as I charged out of the room.
In the corridor, enemies were pouring in continuously.
I swung my knife and met them head-on. The inner strength of the Burning Shadow Technique flowed through me as I unleashed the blade techniques of Mount Mist.
My knife was as fast as lightning and as elusive as drifting clouds.
Wherever my blade passed, blood erupted forth.
Those so-called elite members of the Noble House were like mere chickens and dogs before me.
I fought my way from the second floor down to the grand hall on the first floor, leaving no one able to withstand a single strike from me.
Xie Wu Li and that Southern Border Sorcerer turned pale with shock.
"Who are you?" Xie Wu Li demanded sharply.
"The one here to take your life!"
I couldn't be bothered to waste words with him and charged straight ahead with my blade.
The Southern Border Sorcerer let out a shriek, pulling a handful of powder from his pocket and throwing it at me while chanting incantations to cast his spell.
I snorted coldly, held my breath, and instead of retreating, I advanced. The gleam of my blade swept through the air, sending the toxic powder back at him.
The sorcerer screamed in agony, stumbling backward with a look of horror on his face.
Seeing the situation turn against him, Xie Wu Li turned to flee.
