"Sigh …" Gui Ning withdrew her gaze from Yang Qianqian and walked toward Sun Qi. Her face was pale as she whispered, "Uncle Sun, what is going on?"

Too many things had happened tonight. Yang Muyun and Xue Duan originally brought dozens of Yellow Ranked Assassins to deal with Qu Rong.

However, both Yang Muyun and Xue Duan were heavily injured and unconscious. Heaven Ranked Assassin Tian Ba's left shoulder had been penetrated, and was currently suffering from excessive blood loss. Yellow Ranked Assassin was even less likely to be injured.

Furthermore, after hearing the report from the 'yellow' assassin, she felt that they had been set up by someone else. This series of events was extremely strange.

Why did the people of Three Ships and Eighteen Dock know that their ambush point was at Lion Ridge? Why was it that Hong Lei had led his men out of the city at that time? Why was Yang Muyun seriously injured?

Was this going against her rouge or Yang Muyun? The whole thing was like a messy ball of wool, he couldn't tell what was going on.

Although Gui Ning was intelligent, she was still unable to come up with an answer to her question. It was as if there was a large hand hiding behind the scenes, manipulating everything.

Instead, it was Sun Qi who spoke up at this moment. With a serious expression, he said in a deep voice, "One of the Yama Hall's four great elders, Wang Gu, personally took action to assassinate this boy."

"What!" Gui Ning was also shocked, "Yama Minamiya, when the people from below told me about the situation." I still don't quite believe it, but it looks like it really is them. "

"Could it be those people from back then?" Sun Qi frowned and seemed to have thought of something.

"I don't know. I don't know either." Gui Ning also frowned. "Logically speaking, that group of people from back then should not have had the ability to confront us head on."

Gui Ning pondered for a moment before replying, "However, we still have to be on our guard."

The situation tonight had exceeded her expectations, and at the same time, it had given her a warning. The water in this Shattered Leaf City might be even deeper than she had imagined.

Yang Muyun was a new generation elite in the martial arts world, and he didn't have any enemies in the Shattered Leaf City. Moreover, he lived in a secluded place and didn't offend anyone, so who would want to put him to death?

It seemed that the person who invited him to help was quite the schemer.

Although he had taken the wrong step, it was fortunate that it was not irreparable. However, he had to be more careful with every arrangement he made in the future.

At this moment, a clear flapping sound could be heard in the sky. A black bird flew into the rouge button's encampment. Gui Ning could tell that it was a carrier pigeon specially bred by the rouge button.

She extended her arm that was as white as jade. The carrier pigeon circled a few times in the air before automatically landing on her arm. With practiced movements, Gui Ning took out a piece of paper from the pigeon's leg.

"What's going on?" Sun Qi stood at the side and asked Gui Ning impatiently.

"It seems that this matter is not as simple as we thought."

She did not directly answer Sun Qi's question. Instead, she handed the slip of paper to Sun Qi, meaning that he should read it himself.

Sun Qi took the slip of paper and quickly read its contents. As soon as he urged his inner force, the slip of paper was instantly destroyed. This kind of thing could not be casually seen by others.

"Alright, alright." Gui Ning waved her hand. "I'm tired enough tonight. Uncle Sun, you should go rest first." I will continue to keep an eye on this matter. "

"No need." Sun Qi refused, "I'll take care of my hair in this courtyard tonight."

He glanced at Yang Muyun and felt a bit worried. He knew that Yang Muyun was severely injured. The result of a battle between a top class master and a top class master could be imagined.

Although he didn't know what kind of method Yang Muyun used to force Wang Gu to the point that he was about to run out of money, his own situation wasn't too optimistic.

Therefore, Sun Qi was very worried. He volunteered to stay behind and protect Yang Muyun. At the same time, he was also worried about Yang Qianqian, this weak girl, as he was afraid that something might happen to her.

"Alright then." Gui Ning did not insist on persuading Sun Qi to leave, "Then I'll have to trouble Uncle Sun."

Sun Qi was the father of Gui Ning and the person in charge of the business group of the Gui Family. He had been a friend of her for many years. Therefore, she had an incomparable amount of trust in him.

Not to mention anything else, just the fact that Gui Ning showed the paper slip to Sun Qi was a clear indication of the problem.

Gui Ning stood at her original spot and left after explaining a few things to the people in the courtyard. As the person responsible for all this, she still had a lot of things to do. Even though she was worried about Yang Muyun, she didn't have that much time.

She left the courtyard and walked to the backyard of the rouge button station. Tianba and Xue Duan were also undergoing treatment there, so he needed to take a look.

He walked along the cobblestone path, flanked by fake rocks and flowers. In the distance, he saw pavilions, ponds, mountains and rivers. Red lanterns hung from trees on the roadside, illuminating the dark path.

The Gui family was originally a family of merchants, so they were rich and imposing. However, if anyone was bewitched by the elegance of this courtyard and thought that there was no threat here, they might not even know how they died.

As Gui Ning was slowly walking forward, a black figure suddenly appeared and knelt beside her. "First Miss, we've found out the situation."

Gui Ning stopped and turned to look at him. "What's the situation like?"

The black shadow went close to Gui Ning's ear and abruptly left. In just a short moment, he had already told all the news to Gui Ning.

"Hur hur, how interesting." Gui Ning raised her head and smiled as she looked towards the south. "Now it's Hong Lei's turn. How can we deal with him?"

Following that, the black figure suddenly disappeared. Then, Gui Ning slowly walked forward, as if nothing had happened. Her steps were steady and her expression was calm.

The small path was not long, and nothing else happened after that. Gui Ning calmly walked to the backyard.

In the backyard, Xue Duan was lying on a simple beaded bed, surrounded by a few doctors in white. Compared to Yang Muyun, Xue Duan was just exhausted. He himself had not suffered any serious injuries.

Tian Ji Eight sat beside Xue Duan. The recovery ability of the Sky Profound Realm was extremely powerful, especially after Sun Qi had tidied up his meridians and added in a few simple procedures. It was almost as if his body had started to recover by itself.

Now that he couldn't make a move, he was basically fine.

"Eight days." Gui Ning said softly.

"Eldest Miss!" He opened his eyes and saw Gui Ning approaching. He immediately greeted her.

"Tell me what happened tonight." Without wasting any time, Gui Ning went straight to the main topic at hand.

"Originally, Young Master Yang and I were planning to stay at Lion Ridge and wait for Young Master Xue and Cui Bong's arrival …" The speed of his words was not fast. He told everything that had happened tonight in detail to Gui Ning.
