C57 The Assassin Came
The crowd gradually dispersed, but there was a person dressed inconspicuous walking slowly towards them.
"Go to hell." With a sharp knife in hand, the man suddenly stabbed forward when no one was looking. His goal was clear, it was Su Mingyue.
"Miss." Xichun, Nianxia, and the rest all cried out in surprise, but they could not save her. Xichun was still at Su‘er's side, still quite a distance away from Su Mingyue.
At the same time, Su‘er also cried out in surprise. She moved faster than Xichun and Nianxia, and was about to use her chest to block the blade for Su Mingyue.
However, there was someone who was faster than Su‘er. Before Su‘er arrived, a flexible sword blocked Su Mingyue's path, blocking her sharp saber.
The one who attacked was naturally Yuan Che, who had been following Su Mingyue and the others. Yuan Che was known for his martial arts and literature, and was also highly trusted by Emperor Qian and Prince Yuan Ming.
At this time, Yuan Che's two personal attendants, Mianfeng and Suxue also rushed over. Since they had rushed over, they naturally didn't need Yuan Che to personally act.
To be able to be the closest person to Yuan Che, Mianfeng and Suxue's martial arts naturally wouldn't be bad.
They also cherished this opportunity. After all, there were not many times when they needed a master with an accomplished martial arts talent.
"Are you alright?" Yuan Che observed Su Mingyue and asked her if she was hurt.
Yuan Che probably didn't know that at this time, he had actually lost his composure. He had always known everything and was calm and collected, but at this time, the anxiety on his face was obvious, and he couldn't hide it.
Su Mingyue had never seen Yuan Che like this, so she was stunned for a moment.
"What, were you scared?" Yuan Che looked at Su Mingyue's body and found no trace of injuries. When he saw that Su Mingyue was still in a daze, he naturally thought that Su Mingyue was scared.
Su Mingyue finally reacted and shook her head, indicating that she wasn't scared.
Su Mingyue quickly turned around to check the situation of Lin Zhi and the others. They had all grown up in noble houses, and had never seen such a scene before. Cui Yingtong and Rongyue were terrified, trembling together with Maidservant.
Maidservantying had learned a few days of martial arts from Cui Yingtong, but she was still frightened. Even so, she forced herself to come out and protect Cui Yingtong and the others behind her.
"Are all of you okay?" Yuan Che also felt that it wasn't appropriate for him to only care about Su Mingyue. Thus, he asked to check on their situation.
"Elder Male Cousin Che." Cui Yingtong was truly frightened. Tears were already flowing out of her eyes.
It was a good thing that Lin Zhi was quite calm. Knowing that this was not the time to be flustered, she hurried over to comfort Cui Yingtong.
Su Mingyue pulled Yuan Che's sleeve, causing him to turn around. "What's wrong?"
"Leave him alive." Su Mingyue instructed.
The two servants beside Yuan Che were pretty skilled. This assassin was not their match at all and was about to be defeated. What if he died in their hands? Wouldn't she never know who was plotting against her?
Yuan Che was surprised that Su Mingyue did this. Lin Zhi and the rest were just maintaining their composure after this incident, but Su Mingyue didn't seem to be scared at all. She actually wanted to remind him to keep her alive at this time.
Seeing that Yuan Che didn't do anything, Su Mingyue became anxious. She looked at Yuan Che, waiting for a reply.
"Don't worry, they all know their limits." Although he was a bit suspicious, Yuan Che still agreed.
