Lin Shuning paused, alarm bells rang in his heart, and the conversation with Xiaobai suddenly stopped.

She subconsciously took out the poison needle from the space, clenched it tightly, and looked towards the place where the sound came from with her vigilant eyes through the inky night, her red lips tightly pursed.

When she changed carriages from Prince Rui's mansion yesterday, she had been very careful, but was she still discovered?

If this is true, then the investigative ability of these killers is truly top-notch.

At this moment, although Lin Shuning was worried about being in a dangerous situation, she did not regret it.

Wei Xi's situation was so urgent that she couldn't wait for Chen Zhao to send her back home before rushing over.

If she were given another chance to choose, she would still not change her mind.

Her elder brother and sister-in-law treated her so sincerely, she must repay them with kindness.

As soon as the thought came to his mind, a nimble black shadow quietly appeared in front of Lin Shuning like a thin smoke.

She bowed and saluted respectfully, her voice clear: "Greetings, Third Miss."

Lin Shuning was startled, and stroked his chest and said calmly: "Did you make that sound just now?"

With the light from the lantern in her hand, she could see that the secret guard in front of her was a woman. Half of her face was covered by a black cloth, and only a pair of eyes that were exposed were as sharp as blades. Lin Shuning had a sense of déjà vu. She thought that it should be the secret guard she had seen a few days ago.

"No." Ye Mu said these two words in a serious tone.

Lin Shuning's expression suddenly became serious.

The night is dark and heavy.

It was extremely quiet yet also extremely noisy all around.

The world is quiet, but the heart is noisy. Lin Shuning can clearly hear the sound of his own heart beating violently due to nervousness.

Although she had dealt with many killers before, she understood clearly at this moment.

This time, it's different from the past.

This time, it's not just those bastards hired by Lin Rouan who are doing small fights, but truly well-trained, top-notch killers with excellent skills. If things go wrong, her life might really be lost here.

The rustling sound sounded again, lingering around and pausing for a moment, then suddenly came closer again, this time, much closer.

The wind stopped blowing on all sides, and it was so quiet that one could hear a hair falling to the ground. In the extremely condensed silence and darkness, one could hear faint sounds approaching slowly, but could not see any people or anything. That feeling, of oppression and solemnity, was able to most intuitively evoke the fear in the human heart.

Because it is invisible, it is scary.

Ye Mu tightly grasped the sword at his waist and said, "Miss San, please hurry to the Shangshu Mansion as soon as possible. I will go and take a look."

Lin Shuning nodded, Ye Mu flashed and disappeared in an instant, chasing towards the place where the sound came from.

Lin Shuning did not dare to delay and walked hurriedly towards the Shangshu Mansion. In the end, she even ran, but it was still of no avail.

A white light suddenly flashed in the darkness, and a vague black shadow rushed out and stabbed with a knife. The knife was silent and swift as lightning. In just a moment, it reached Lin Shuning's face!

Lin Shuning's heart moved and he reacted very quickly, immediately taking a big step back to the side.

"Hahahaha! Miss Shangshu's Third Young Lady, Lin Shuning, tonight is the day you die!"

After a burst of arrogant laughter, several nimble men in black suddenly appeared in front of Lin Shuning and blocked her way. The swords in their hands shone with cold light in the night, and their murderous intent was chilling.

Lin Shuning stared at them vigilantly, gritted his teeth and slowly backed away, his peripheral vision constantly searching for Ye Mu's figure.

The man with a hideous scar on his forehead seemed to see through her thoughts. He sneered and said disdainfully: "Don't look for her. She won't come back to save you. Even if she is good at fighting, she will not get any good results against our boss. Besides, as long as you hold her back, you will be trapped!"

"Luring the tiger away from the mountain," Lin Shuning reacted quickly, his heart sinking slightly, and his tone was cold, "Did you make the previous sound on purpose?"

"Of course, I didn't expect that you, a little girl, are actually quite smart. I will be merciful and give you a quick death!"

The scarred man spoke in a ferocious voice, with the tip of his knife pointed at Lin Shuning, as if he would rush up like a wild beast in the next moment.

Lin Shuning squeezed her palms tightly, forcing herself to calm down. She forced a faint smile and took a few steps back in fear like a little girl. Her hands behind her back were already clenched with poisonous needles pointed in a certain direction: "Brothers, I have never offended you, why do you want to kill me? Even if I die, let me die knowingly, don't let me be a confused ghost."

Perhaps it was the beauty's tone of weakness that made the man feel a sense of conquest. The scarred man snorted and actually explained, "These past few days you cured a person who shouldn't have lived. This is the cause of your death. I kindly advise you not to meddle in other people's business in your next life."

As soon as these words were spoken, Lin Shuning understood in her heart that these people in front of her were here to kill her because of Jiang Yu's matter.

She pretended to be confused: "Brother, I don't understand what you mean. I have medical skills, so I have to take on the responsibility of curing diseases and saving lives. Is there anything wrong with curing diseases and saving lives? Who is the person behind you? I want to meet him and confront him face to face!"

"Hahaha, you're not worthy!" The scarred man laughed twice. "Don't think we don't know what you're thinking. Are you trying to delay time as much as possible? No way! Come on, brothers, quickly capture this little girl, and then you can go to the brothel to have fun with your reward!"

Before the scarred man finished his words, a black shadow flashed and he jumped out as fast as the wind. With a wave of his hand, the knife light was already at Lin Shuning's heart from a few feet away!

Lin Shuning was shocked and quickly threw out the poison needle on his fingertips, "Dangdangdang--"

Several poisonous needles were immediately blocked by a sharp white edge.

"Hey."

The subtle sound of flesh and skin being cut rang in Lin Shuning's ears thrillingly. She only felt a chill and pain on her left shoulder, and then her left shoulder and below were covered in blood.

Lin Shuning took a deep breath, covered his wound, took two steps back, turned his wrist and threw out a poison gas bomb.

But the killers in front of him were obviously hundreds of times more skilled than those hired by Lin Rouan at the beginning, or even those he met on the spring outing at the lake that day. The poisonous smoke could not pose any threat to them at all.

The sword light slashed down like a streak of silk, and the murderous intent came like a wave with a chilling chill. The shining sword edge instantly reached Lin Shuning's face again. Lin Shuning even felt a chill on his forehead like ice, and then he heard a "clang!" sound of a heavy collision.

The sword that was originally stabbing at Lin Shuning was reversed in direction and quickly attacked the other killers. Those people were not aware of it for a moment, and before they could react to what happened, they were pierced through the heart by the sword and fell to the ground with their eyes wide open!

"Damn it, Dongchuan, you f*cking killed Lao Si and the others, are you crazy?"

The scarred man was so angry that he didn't care about Lin Shuning anymore and immediately started fighting with the killer named Dongchuan. The blades were flying and the two men were inseparable.

The moment Lin Shuning's eyes met Dongchuan's, he was shocked: Xiaobai!

Then a smile of understanding appeared in her eyes. It seemed that Xiaobai was using the newly upgraded possession function.

Lin Shuning silently praised Xiaobai's skills in her heart and turned around to escape. However, although the other killers were shocked by the sudden backstab, they did not forget their real mission at all and immediately surrounded her.

Xiaobai caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of his eye, and immediately rushed out from the scarred man's fierce attack, shouted and pounced in front of Lin Shuning. The sword light condensed into a silver wall of light, covering the black-clad killers' heads and forcing them to retreat several steps.

However, this body was not Xiaobai's original body. He was outnumbered after all. He was stabbed several times and covered with wounds. He soon fell into a disadvantage.

Xiaobai was panting and making eye contact with the killers. Just when they thought he was going to die, Xiaobai chuckled.

This body didn't belong to him, so he couldn't feel any pain at all.

After all, the possessed person was not a good person, and his death can be considered a contribution to society.

Xiaobai was too lazy to block it, and rushed forward again with a loud shout. His bloody and zombie-like appearance startled the killers so much that they trembled suddenly and subconsciously took several steps back.

"You useless piece of shit! Go chase that bitch and don't let her run away!" The scarred man shouted, turned over and gave Xiaobai a fatal blow.

"You guys are really endless!" Xiaobai waved his sword frantically to block and after dodging a heavy blow, he was finally knocked to the ground by the scarred man. A killer took the opportunity to slash at Lin Shuning.

"Aning!" Xiaobai was shocked and couldn't help blurting out. At this moment, even if he tried his best to rush over, it was too late!

The lightning-fast blade chopped again fiercely, and under the moonlight, the blade suddenly split open, revealing sharp, curved hooks as long as ten small daggers, right in front of Lin Shuning's face. With just one hook, Lin Shuning's eyes would be dug out immediately!
