The Silver Needles entering her Acupoints, the Revenge with all the holes in her body, to a woman like Lin Ruyi who didn't seem sinister and scary, they were simply too merciful. If she died right now, how could she dispel the hatred in Huo Mingzhu's heart?

Furthermore, if she tore off the mask and directly fought with Lin Ruyi, Lin Ruyi would rely on his power in the Pingyang Mansion and his position in the general's mansion to deal with her, but she, Huo Mingzhu, doesn't have anything right now, and she's not even at the age of adult yet, she's too weak. Lin Ruyi has a hundred ways to argue against her.

Looking at the ancestral tablets his mother had erected in front of the mourning hall, Huo Mingzhu swore with teary eyes. She would destroy the entire Huo Family in their hands, she would make Lin Ruyi and his mother lose everything they valued, and die with regret and pain! She would demand justice for her poor mother, for the retribution of those who deserved it! This was the only thing she could think of to survive!

Just as Huo Mingzhu was making his vow, the candle in front of the ancestral tablet suddenly shook, and Lin Ruyi's head turned towards Huo Mingzhu as he shouted: "Who is it?!"

"?" Huo Mingzhu quickly retreated, and lightly jumped out of the half-opened window.

After passing through the garden through the ancestral hall in one breath, just as he was about to return to his Chenxiang Palace, a gust of wind blew from behind Huo Mingzhu, and a black shadow brushed by her side, jumping straight to the roof.

Huo Mingzhu was shocked, thinking that there was some kind of expert hidden in the general's residence. She was also unable to confirm if Lin Ruyi and the black figure had discovered him in the ancestral hall, so the first thought that came to her mind was to kill the black clothed man and silence him!

Huo Mingzhu chased after him, a dagger already in her hand. Ever since she found out the truth that she had been able to live another life in the Royal Tomb, she always carried her weapon with her. The feeling of death was too terrifying, she had to do everything in her power to survive!

It was unknown if the black-clothed person purposely waited for her, or if his qinggong was truly inferior to Huo Mingzhu's, but he was actually chased by Huo Mingzhu after jumping out of the general's manor. He was probably panicking for a moment, before fiercely stopping and turning his head around.

"Chi la ? ?" With a sound, the dagger in Huo Mingzhu's hand had already pierced through. The black-clothed man subconsciously dodged, and the dagger cut into the black-clothed man's sleeve.

Huo Mingzhu did not utter a word, and immediately followed with another killing move. The black clothed man was forced to retreat continuously by her, and did not retaliate at all, and saw that the black clothed man had been slashed multiple times by Huo Mingzhu, and even the black cloth covering his face was almost torn off by Huo Mingzhu.

The black clothed man was probably finally angered, and didn't retreat anymore as he received her killing move. He shook her body a little, and blocked Huo Mingzhu's stab, and took the opportunity to grab her wrist, using his internal energy to shatter the dagger in Huo Mingzhu's hand.

"Who are you?" Huo Mingzhu still wanted to continue fighting, but the other side did not seem to have any intentions of killing her, he grabbed both her arms and legs, his tall body controlling her movements, and did not even have the intention of harming her.

"I wonder who I am and why I am being killed? "The young mistress of the Huo family is truly worthy of being brought up in Fringe City. She is as bold as a woman from Fringe City." The black-clothed man finally spoke. In order to prevent himself from being injured by her, he was also afraid of hurting her. He was not too far away, and his hand was holding her hand. His hand was very hot.

Huo Mingzhu had definitely never heard her before, but from the tone of his voice, he did not seem to be Lin Ruyi's person either.

And since he was talking to her so patiently, he probably wasn't in the mood to keep fighting with her.

"And who are you? How can you go in and out of the manor as you please? Whether or not I grew up in Fringe City, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with you! " Huo Mingzhu was furious. He gathered his internal energy into his palm and forced himself out of the black-clothed man's grasp.

He raised his hand to block her, and said with a tone that was neither haughty nor humble: "Don't be angry, Miss Huo, I was only passing by the way, and felt that it would be inconvenient to walk through the Tsing Yi Lane, if I were to pass through the general's manor, it would seem to save me a lot of time, but who would have expected that a beauty would block my way, it is truly a dilemma for everyone to fall in love and hate!"

At this time, he was actually joking with her, yet Huo Mingzhu was not in the least bit in a joking mood. She completely ignored his teasing and flattery, and said with a cold face: "You've seen me before? Just who are you! Don't even think of trying to dodge it! "

The black clothed man seemed to be somewhat anxious. He turned around and looked into the distance and suddenly spoke in a low voice, "Miss Huo, didn't you walk past Vermillion Bird Street during the day? Those who have seen you are completely astounded, what do I remember about you? As for my identity and face, it would be hard to say. Miss Huo is very intelligent, so I can naturally guess what kind of people live in Tsing Yi Lane.

Tsing Yi Lane, Tsing Yi Lane, was the street for the officials of the Great Yong Empire in Shang Jing. The people here were either rich or noble, the black clothed man spoke tactfully, his face covered with a black cloth, his figure was agile and graceful, causing people to have no choice but to guess at him. Huo Mingzhu, however, did not care about whether he was a gentleman or not. She no longer believed in anyone's words and only asked him one thing: "What did you steal from the General's Estate?"

The black clothed man quickly waved his hand. "Miss Huo has been wrongly accused of this. She was only found out after passing a jade hairpin to the Prime Minister's residence, before she could find out about the general's estate ?" If Big Miss Huo doesn't mind, why don't you give me this hairpin as a greeting gift? "

As he spoke, he took something out from his chest pocket and threw it forward. Huo Mingzhu retreated in alarm, the black clothed man had already shot his hidden weapon at him. Huo Mingzhu caught it with his two fingers and with a turn of his head, the black clothed man disappeared.

Just as he was about to see clearly what kind of secret weapon it was, Huo Mingzhu focused, and realised that there was a hairpin between his fingers. It was blurry at night, but from a touch, it looked like a treasure.

Was this man in black really a gentleman? She caught him red-handed and didn't want to cause trouble, so she took the opportunity to escape?

Since she was Sir Liang, she naturally wouldn't get involved with the family affairs of the general's estate. The things that happened in the ancestral hall, as well as her late night stroll, if she kept her silence, the black clothed man probably wouldn't go against her for no reason.

However, Huo Mingzhu was still a little worried. She had only returned to the manor for the first night and she had already met the black clothed man. The black clothed man wanted to steal something, but he did not go to the warehouse.

Unfortunately, she did not even see the face of the black clothed person. Otherwise, if she were to retort in the future, she would have been able to reveal the whole story.

Huo Mingzhu could not find anyone, the night was hazy, and it was inconvenient for her to stay. She jumped over the wall, only to see that the general's residence was brightly lit, the ancestral hall's direction was noisy and chaotic, someone was searching for something, she immediately used a lightness technique and secretly returned to Chenxiang Palace.

After she left, the black-clothed man who was hiding in the shadows of the alley turned back and looked at her back. He sighed and didn't move for a long time. Unfortunately, it would dissipate when the wind blew.
