Both worlds are like dreams

Xue Huang was awakened by a dream. It was still the same scene of wind and snow and the sword piercing her heart. She tried hard to see the person holding the sword, but it seemed as if he was separated from her by a past life or present life, and she couldn't see him no matter what.

She sat up silently. Wei Yunzhou and Luo Ning were both there, sitting at the tea table, obviously watching over her.

"Second Uncle." Xue Huang called out.

Hearing the voice, the two of them immediately turned to look at her. Luo Ning hurried over to help her get out of bed and sat down at the table.

"Are you feeling unwell anywhere?" Luo Ning asked.

Xue Huang shook her head. "It's just a muscle softener. These shameless villains, they just want to fight, but they even poisoned people. They have no martial ethics."

Wei Yunzhou glanced at her and said, "It was because you were careless that the other party took advantage of you. Don't make excuses."

"Second Uncle, it's not very nice of you to say that. You deal with people one on one, but I deal with a group. Please be reasonable." Xue Huang said with a smile.

Wei Yunzhou didn't intend to pay attention to her and turned around to leave.

Xue Huang hurriedly called him, "Where are you going?"

"Keep an eye on her." Wei Yunzhou said coldly.

Luo Ning held down Xue Huang who was about to move, "The effect of the muscle softening powder has not worn off yet, you stay here."

"Small problem," Xue Huang said with a smile, "I'll go see what Second Uncle is doing?"

"No way." Luo Ning refused to compromise.

"Sister, you are the prettiest and the most gentle. I promise not to cause any trouble."

Luo Ning shook her head, leaving no room for negotiation.

Xue Huang rolled her eyes, touched her stomach and said, "Okay, I won't go out. I'm hungry."

Luo Ning thought that she really hadn't had breakfast, so she stood up and said, "Okay, I'll ask someone to bring you food."

Xue Huang nodded obediently, watched Luo Ning turn around, a triumphant smile appeared on her face, she stood up and jumped out of the window onto the street with a "whoosh".

By the time Luo Ning reacted, Xue Huang had already landed steadily on the ground. She could only sigh in anger.

Wei Yunzhou was in the alley at the moment. When he saw her jump down, his brows furrowed, but he felt helpless in his heart. He knew that Luo Ning would definitely not be able to keep an eye on her. For her niece, even if she was tied up with a rope, she would still be able to slip away.

"Second Uncle," Xue Huang saw that he was unhappy and hurriedly smiled ingratiatingly, "I'm here to help you, not to cause trouble."

Wei Yunzhou ignored her and continued to look around. His eyes were attracted by a drop of blood on the ground. This was a dark alley. Although it was not very hidden, it was enough for spying and surveillance. He looked up at Jinxiu Tower and happened to meet Luo Ning's eyes.

Who is watching Jinxiu Tower? Or is it Xuehuang?

He turned and walked in the opposite direction. Xue Huang called out, "Second Uncle. Where are you going?"

"To find someone who suddenly disappeared."

"Who is it?" Xue Huang followed him, "Is this blood his?"

"Look around and see if there is anything unusual." Wei Yunzhou said lightly.

Xue Huang nodded and followed him into the depths of the alley. At the end was another street with people coming and going, and there was no clue at all. However, no matter how you looked at it, there seemed to be traces of a fight in the alley, but it was not very obvious, and it seemed that someone had deliberately erased it.

"Uncle," Xue Huang called him, "Look here." She removed the tiles and saw a clear trail of blood on the ground. "The person you are looking for must have been taken away."

Wei Yunzhou was silent for a moment, then said, "Let's go back first."

Xue Huang nodded and followed Wei Yunzhou back to Jinxiu Tower, only to find that Mo Ruilin and Gu Qinglan were already waiting for them.

"Good morning!" she greeted. "Have you eaten?"

Mo Ruilin smiled and said, "I heard that there was a murder in Jinxiu Building last night, so Qinglan dragged me here to see you early in the morning."

"Look at me?" Xue Huang was slightly surprised.

"If someone died in your room, it was not a coincidence, then it was directed at you," said Mo Ruilin.

Xue Huang glanced at Gu Qinglan and said, "I'm fine, don't worry."

"Brother Wei, what did you find?" asked Mo Ruilin.

Wei Yunzhou sat cross-legged beside the table and said, "Two underworld forces emerged overnight in Shangyang City. They seem to be looking for something."

"Two forces?" Gu Qinglan asked, "Are they both coming for Miss Xue Huang?"

Xue Huang looked bewildered and said, "At me? I didn't do anything earth-shattering."

\"Don't interfere in this matter." Wei Yunzhou warned and stood up to leave.

"Where are you going?" Xue Huang asked.

Wei Yunzhou said nothing and left with his sword.

Gu Qinglan frowned and looked at Xuehuang, saying: "Miss Xuehuang, you must be more careful."

"Analyze it," Xue Huang said, "What do you think is going on?"

Mo Ruilin said, "The murder happened after Brother Wei left. Now that I think about it, the assassin who assassinated me yesterday was trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain."

Xue Huang was silent for a moment. If she had not left Jinxiu Tower yesterday, if she had returned to the room a little earlier to take a look, would it be possible to prevent Yue Zhu's death?

She clenched her hands and swore secretly: no matter whether it was aimed at her or not, she would find the killer and give Yue Zhu justice.

"Miss Xuehuang," Gu Qinglan asked worriedly when he saw that she looked strange, "What's wrong with you?"

"If they are really coming for me, do you think they will show up again?" Xue Huang asked.

After these words were spoken, Gu Qinglan and Mo Ruilin were both stunned.

"What are your plans?" Gu Qinglan asked.

"Let's lure someone into a trap." Xue Huang said. "What if someone really comes?"

"Is it too risky?" A hint of worry flashed across Gu Qinglan's eyes.

"It's okay, I can handle it." Xue Huang said with a smile.

"Then I'll stay and help you." Gu Qinglan said.

Xue Huang hesitated for a moment. She didn’t want to involve Gu Qinglan and Mo Ruilin. What if there was danger?

Gu Qinglan saw her worry and said, "You saved me before, so I'll just consider it as a favor to you."

Mo Ruilin also said: "Miss Xuehuang, don't refuse. We will not ignore your affairs."

Xue Huang looked at the two people, smiled, and said: "If that's the case, then I won't be hypocritical."

She wanted to see who wanted to kill her!

Wei Yunzhou had not returned yet. At noon, it started to rain and dark clouds gathered outside the window. Someone had died in Jinxiu Tower, and although it was still open for business, it was shrouded in sadness.

Xue Huang was also in a heavy mood. She sat by the window of Wei Yunzhou's room and was in a daze for a long time.

As night fell, the moonlight cast a silver glow on the ground, and people were surging on the streets. The rain had stopped, and the lanterns gradually lit up. The scenery was the same as before, and there was no difference because someone died in Jinxiu Tower.

Gu Qinglan and Mo Ruilin were worried about Xuehuang, so they stayed in Jinxiu Tower and accompanied her silently.

At dinner time, Luo Ning brought a table of wine and food, and the three of them kept drinking.

Xue Huang was really sad about Yue Zhu's death and drank one glass after another. Unfortunately, she had a good alcohol tolerance and could not get drunk no matter how much she drank.

Mo Ruilin began to stagger. Xuehuang was afraid that he had drunk too much, but looking at his clear eyes, she knew that the show had already begun.

Gu Qinglan said: "You guys have drunk too much, go back and rest."

Mo Ruilin pretended to be drunk and was helped away by Gu Qinglan. Xue Huang also staggered back to the room, fell on the bed, pulled down the curtain, and slowed down her breathing.

I don’t know how much time had passed, but Xue Huang’s neck was already uncomfortable from lying down, and she didn’t hear anything unusual.

Did I guess wrong?

She reached out and touched the gem on her neck, and a voice came from inside at the right time, "Hold on for a moment, the show is about to begin."

Xue Huang thought to herself: I hope you are not fooling me.

Another stick of incense passed, and still there was no movement.

Xue Huang was about to give up and wanted to turn over, but at this moment, she heard footsteps coming from the roof, as if someone was walking on it.

She suddenly opened her eyes and looked at the roof vigilantly. The next moment, footsteps stopped at the edge of the window and a person jumped in from the window.

He landed with almost no sound, which showed that he was a very skilled martial artist.

Xue Huang immediately pretended to be asleep, listening to the footsteps getting closer and closer. He seemed to be looking for something, rummaging through the drawers near her dressing table, and then opened a few cabinets to check around.

In the end, probably finding nothing, he walked towards her and stopped beside her bed.

Xue Huang felt him lift the curtain and suddenly opened her eyes. The other party also reacted quickly and turned to leave. But how could Xue Huang give him this opportunity? She propped up her palm on the bed, jumped up, and directly passed over the head of the man in black, blocking his way.

There was a cold light flashing in Xue Huang's eyes. "As expected, you are still a thief. Who are you? What are you looking for?"

The man did not answer. He just picked up his sword and started fighting with Xue Huang.

Soon, sounds of fighting were heard outside.

The man in black's expression changed.

Xue Huang curled her lips, "I'm afraid your accomplices have been subdued by now. As for you, you can choose to admit defeat, or I will beat you until you admit defeat."

"It's my bad luck to fall into your hands, but don't even think about making me admit defeat."

"I'm afraid you don't have the final say on this."

The man in black's eyes turned cold, and he raised his sword again, stepping forward without mercy. However, he didn't expect that the girl's body movements were so strange that she could easily avoid his sword.

A chill emanated from her palm, and the temperature around her dropped instantly.

The man in black wanted to take the opportunity to escape through the window, but it was too late. The ice wrapped around his legs like a poisonous snake and he couldn't break free.

He hurriedly swung his sword to chop, but Xue Huang pinched out a hidden blade and knocked the sword to the ground.
