C16 Silver-masked Man
When Su Tong was walking around the palace, she didn't forget to occasionally look at the grass tips that stuck out from under her feet. She also kept some of the flowers and plants that she recognized that she would be able to use in the future into her money bag.
She didn't have many life-long defensive techniques. At most, the person who came into contact with her body would definitely die. Her foster father probably didn't want her to learn kung fu skills because he was worried that she would bite him if she grew a pair of wings.
There were poisonous grasses and medicinal powders that made her feel at ease, but the effects were too poor. Even if she didn't believe in ghosts or gods, the bamboo forest was frighteningly peaceful and eerie, and she still needed something to feel reliable or to calm down.
The further in he went, the more he could hear the sound of the wind.
The deeper they went, the less of a dark and strange feeling they had.
Su Tong could not help but stop in her tracks, and turned around to take a look behind him. The bamboo forest was very ordinary, and was not haunted, but had people spreading rumors that made people feel afraid, and also made the outside of the bamboo forest seem very scary.
It could be seen that the people who were deliberately mystifying were very thoughtful, and were even terrifyingly smart. They knew how to pinch someone's heart, and also knew how to make them not dare to enter this place.
Su Tong swallowed her saliva. If she wasn't afraid, then she was really afraid that all the bamboos in the bamboo forest would open their eyes and look at her. She could not help but carefully walk towards that direction.
As the blade and sword clashed, the wind whistled loudly, bringing with it a faint smell of blood. Su Tong, who was usually extremely sensitive to swords, could not help but speed up her footsteps.
But the closer she got to that dangerous place, the more she sensed a strange smell spreading in the air.
In the bamboo forest, there was a shabby looking bamboo house. In front of the bamboo house, a man with blood all over his body brandished a large blade in his hand. He viciously slashed at a man wearing a silver mask and silver soft robe.
Su Tong could see a beautiful woman, who looked to be around thirty to forty years old, sitting inside the window of the bamboo house. She was middle-aged and had a bewitching charm to her. Ye Zichen looked at the fight outside affectionately.
For some reason, when Su Tong looked at the woman's appearance, she felt that she looked like a person, but she couldn't recall who she actually looked like.
Until the moment when the beautiful woman noticed an outsider who had barged in here, her phoenix eyes instantly narrowed, and she turned to look in the direction of Su Tong.
When Su Tong smelled the scent, she immediately raised her hand to cover her nose and mouth. Instinctively, she felt that the silver-masked man was not a bad person, she immediately held her breath and shouted loudly, "Be careful! "Poisonous smoke!"
Although the silver-masked man was fighting with a man covered in blood, he was still poisoned. The long sword in his hand fell to the ground as he was stabbed in the arm and shoulder.
Su Tong couldn't help but frown. It wasn't that she wanted to meddle in other people's business, but since what had happened was right in front of her eyes, she couldn't take a detour, so she could only hold her breath and not smell the smoke that could cause a person to instantly faint. She quickly rushed forward and grabbed the injured silver masked man, who wasn't leaving, and turned around to run.
She could tell that the man covered in blood and the beautiful woman in the bamboo house did not want to kill this silver-masked man, but they were not exchanging pointers with ordinary martial arts. She could feel the killing intent of both parties.
As she pulled the silver-masked man away, the man and woman did not chase after her. They could vaguely hear the beautiful woman giggling as she spoke, "Ye Po, your martial arts has improved yet again, to think that the child was hurt by you …"
Then, everything returned to silence, leaving only the sound of Su Tong and the silver-masked man's footsteps.
"If you don't want to die, release me." The voice behind him was ice-cold.
