Both worlds are like dreams

Xue Huang walked through the crowd and returned to the third floor. Seeing that Wei Yunzhou's door was open, she walked in curiously, but found that he was not there. Only Luo Ning was sitting there drinking tea. She greeted him and sat down, "Sister Luo Ning, where is my second uncle?"

"Someone has been keeping an eye on Jinxiu Tower recently, and she was worried about the Fifth Prince, so she followed him out," she said. "Where did you go, and why did you come back just now?"

"I went out shopping." She opened the oil paper bag and pushed it to Luo Ning, "Try it!"

"Did Gu Qinglan give this to you?" Luo Ning asked.

Xue Huang nodded.

Luo Ning's smile was somewhat meaningful, "You seem to be very happy every time you see him."

"Really?" Xue Huang was a little confused. She was always like this when she saw handsome guys.

Luo Ning smiled but said nothing.

Xue Huang didn't think much about it and asked, "Who is staring at Jinxiu Tower?"

Luo Ning shook her head, "It's not clear yet."

"Is that aimed at the Fifth Prince?"

"The Fifth Prince's power sharing has offended many people in the court. It is possible that they are targeting him."

Xue Huang smiled and said, "Second Uncle says he dislikes him in various ways, but he still protects him at the critical moment."

After waiting for a while, Wei Yunzhou came back carrying the Broken Soul.

"How?" Luo Ning asked.

"Someone wants to assassinate Mo Ruilin, but these killers don't look like Phantom's people." Wei Yunzhou said lightly.

"Then did you take action?" Xue Huang asked.

Wei Yunzhou nodded, frowning slightly, "Their martial arts are much worse than Phantom's, and they don't seem to know that their target is the Fifth Prince. It seems that they are here to complete some other mission."

"I'll ask someone to check it out right now." Luo Ning said.

"Check another person," Wei Yunzhou said, "an old lady who was staring at the third floor in the alley yesterday."

Xue Huang was surprised and asked, "Second Uncle, are you too careful?"

Wei Yunzhou was about to speak when a scream came from next door, "Someone's dead!"

He hurriedly got up and went to the next room. Xue Huang and Luo Ning followed him there. They saw a dead body lying in Xue Huang's room. It was Miss Yue Zhu who had been taking care of Xue Huang's daily life.

Xue Huang hurried forward to check. The body was only warm, so it must have been killed not long ago. The room was turned upside down, as if someone was looking for something.

Luo Ning couldn't hold back her tears. She knelt on the ground holding Yue Zhu's hand for a long time without saying anything.

Xue Huang clenched her fists. Although she and Yue Zhu had only known each other for a short time, she had always taken good care of herself, just like a kind sister. Now that she had died, Xue Huang felt very upset.

At this moment, Wei Yunzhou suddenly felt a cold gaze locked on him. He silently clenched his Soul-Breaking Sword, and the next moment, he jumped out of the window like a ghost, and slashed at the big tree on the roadside with his sword.

The branch broke in half, a sharp cold light flashed, and a pitch-black sword faced Wei Yunzhou's soul.

The two swords created sparks in the air, and a cold murderous aura swept around.

The figure hiding in the leaves also revealed himself. He was dressed in black and had a green-faced, fang-toothed devil mask on his face. His expression was invisible, only his pair of dark eyes shone with a cold light, like a poisonous snake.

Xue Huang immediately flew out and stepped forward to help Wei Yunzhou.

However, the masked man in black took advantage of the opportunity when his body retreated and turned around and fled.

Xue Huang and Wei Yunzhou chased after him without hesitation.

The black-clothed man's lightness was somewhat strange, and his figure was like a ghost. On this uneven roof, he walked as if on flat ground.

Xue Huang and Wei Yunzhou's Qinggong skills were also first-rate, but they still lost him. The last sight of the man in black was in the woods in front of them.

Xue Huang looked at the dense forest in the mountain stream, which was getting darker in the night, like a dormant beast ready to devour anyone who tried to break in at any time.

At this time, the gem on Xue Huang's neck suddenly made a sound, "Not good, leave here quickly."

Xue Huang was surprised, but she couldn't ask in front of Wei Yunzhou. However, she trusted the voice in the gem very much, so she immediately said, "Second Uncle, something is wrong here. Let's leave first."

"It's too late." Wei Yunzhou looked at the woods coldly.

As soon as the words fell, a large number of men in black emerged from the woods and surrounded Xue Huang and Wei Yunzhou.

The man in black who had disappeared earlier walked out leisurely at this time, like a hunter looking at his prey.

Xue Huang condensed an icy sword in her hand, and the cold air swept around them. The sword energy of her and Wei Yunzhou instantly became extremely murderous. Because they knew in their hearts that the group of people in front of them were definitely not ordinary killers.

"Don't be nervous," the man in black said, "I have no hostility. I just want to confirm your identities."

"Then your way of confirming the identity is quite special. Kill first as a sign of respect?" Xue Huang said coldly.

"You two have misunderstood. I did not kill that woman." said the man in black.

Xue Huang sneered, "So, you just passed by?"

"That's not true."

Wei Yunzhou took a step forward, Duan Hun's murderous aura became stronger, his eyes were as cold as ice, and he said, "I will answer what you want to know!" As soon as he finished speaking, he leaped up, and Duan Hun rushed straight to the face of the man in black.

The man in black dodged sideways, and the sword in his hand met Wei Yunzhou's move again. The two men were evenly matched and started fighting.

The killers around also took the opportunity to attack Xue Huang. Wei Yunzhou dealt with the killers while paying attention to Xue Huang's safety.

Holding a long sword, Xue Huang nimbly avoided the killer's attack. At the same time, she turned her wrist, and the long sword drew an arc, turned around, and went straight for the throat of the man in black.

\"Hmph!\" The man in black sneered, dodged flexibly, and stabbed the sword in his hand towards Xue Huang's forehead.

Xue Huang had no choice but to step back and move behind Wei Yunzhou, using the Seven Wounds Sword Technique to defend against the assassin's sneak attack.

With the Snow Phoenix as his backing, Wei Yunzhou used his Seven Kill Sword Technique without any scruples, and every move was aimed at the black-clothed man's vital points.

At this moment, the two of them were like a spear and a shield, cooperating in perfect harmony with no flaws at all.

The Seven Wounds Sword Technique is not just for defense, it also has killing moves, but they are not as murderous as the Seven Kills.

After a few rounds, half of the besieging killers were dead.

However, these people's martial arts skills were indeed not low, and Xue Huang was already struggling. She blocked a killer's killing move with a sword, but the other party didn't follow martial ethics and actually threw a handful of powder at her.

Xue Huang quickly held her breath, but because she was too close, she was still hit.

She forced the assassin back with a sword, and quickly used her strength to try to force the drug out of her body. However, the drug took effect very quickly, and Xue Huang immediately felt black in front of her eyes.

Seeing this, the man in black turned strangely, avoiding Wei Yunzhou's sword and rushed towards her.

Xue Huang tried hard to raise her sword, but the man in black knocked it down effortlessly. His palm went straight to her neck.

Just when he was about to catch Xue Huang, at this critical moment, Wei Yunzhou's sword had already pierced the black-clothed man's shoulder.

But the man in black didn't seem willing to give up, and his fingers hooked on her collar and brushed against her.

Xue Huang felt dizzy, staggered and almost fell.

Wei Yunzhou took the opportunity to stab the man in black again, but he was avoided by him. He had no choice but to go to Xue Huang and support her.

The man in black also signaled his men to stop attacking, his eyes fixed on Xue Huang's neck. To be precise, on the blue gemstone necklace that had just slipped out.

\"Who are you?" Wei Yunzhou asked in a deep voice.

The man in black ignored Wei Yunzhou's questioning and just looked at Xue Huang and said, "Have you worn this necklace since you were a child?"

Xue Huang snorted coldly and said: "So what if it is, so what if it isn't? Just for a necklace, you kill people wantonly?"

The man in black shook his head, "I said, I didn't kill the man in Jinxiu Tower."

\"Then why are you there?" Xue Huang asked coldly.

\"I'll tell you about this question when I have the chance later." After the man in black finished speaking, he waved his hand, signaling the killer to retreat.

Soon, the killers surrounding Xue Huang and the other two retreated.

Then he said to Wei Yunzhou: "Take her back. The drug she was poisoned with is just a muscle softener. She will be fine after a good night's sleep."

Xue Huang felt confused, but she really couldn't open her eyes.

The man in black continued: "Master Shanhe, we will meet again."

After saying this, he flew away.

Xue Huang also fell into a complete sleep.
