Both worlds are like dreams

Gu Qinglan and Mo Ruilin also came in from outside at this time. Xuehuang looked back and saw that they were not injured, so she smiled slightly.

"Are you okay?" Gu Qinglan came to her and asked.

Xue Huang shook her head and looked at the black-clad assassin and said, "His martial arts skills are not as good as Phantom's Black and White Demons. Before you accept the mission, don't you know the strength of your opponent?"

The man in black looked as ugly as if he had eaten a fly, and he must have been feeling extremely regretful at this moment.

"Let me ask you," Xue Huang pointed at Mo Ruilin, "was the person who tried to assassinate him that day one of yours?"

The man in black said nothing.

"Did you kill the person who died in this room yesterday?"

Man in black:"……"

"Who sent you?"

Man in black:"……"

Xue Huang looked at Gu Qinglan and Mo Ruilin and said with a smile: "I'm not good at interrogating people. Do you have any good ideas?"

"You can hand it over to the Ministry of Justice," said Mo Ruilin. "I guarantee that within a day, I can make him talk."

"One day!" Xue Huang frowned slightly. "I am the most impatient person. Since he won't tell me, I might as well stab him to death with my sword. You two can just pretend you never met him."

Mo Ruilin smiled and said, "Although killing is wrong, I support you."

Gu Qinglan also nodded and said, "Everything is up to you."

Man in Black: Is there any justice left?

A sharp dagger condensed in Xue Huang's palm. Under the moonlight shining through the window, it looked like a divine weapon that had not appeared in the world for thousands of years.

The man in black sweated profusely from his temples, and his upper body began to struggle, but the ice on his legs was like a cast iron wall, unmoved. Seeing the dagger getting closer and closer, he swallowed and tilted his neck back as far as possible.

But at this moment, Xue Huang suddenly put down the knife, turned around to look at Gu Qinglan, and said, "Hey, isn't my second uncle back yet?"

Man in black:"……"

As he said this, Wei Yunzhou walked in from outside.

Xue Huang and the others looked at him, all in surprise. At this moment, Wei Yunzhou's hair was messy, and his clothes were torn in several places, still dripping with water, and the water was actually light red, indicating that he had wounds on his body. It rained again in the evening, where did he go to fight?

"Second Uncle," Xue Huang hurried over to check his wounds, "What's wrong with you?"

Wei Yunzhou didn't care about the wounds on his body. He looked at the man in black who was frozen by the Snow Phoenix and said coldly: "From today on, the Cang Ying Sect no longer exists."

The man in black was shocked. "What did you say?"

Wei Yunzhou did not answer, but said to Gu Qinglan and Mo Ruilin: "You go out first."

"Brother Wei, do you need me to do anything?" asked Mo Ruilin.

"unnecessary."

Mo Ruilin choked. He really didn't expect that he would refuse so decisively.

Gu Qinglan said, "In that case, we'll go out first. If you need any help, just let me know."

"Thank you. I'll come to see you later." Xue Huang said with a smile.

After watching the two leave, Xue Huang closed the door and came to Wei Yunzhou's side. "Second Uncle, what on earth did you go to do?"

Wei Yunzhou looked at the man in black and said, "He is from the Cang Ying Sect. He is employed by the Minister of Rites Situ Yue and wants to find something from you."

"What is that?" Xue Huang asked puzzled.

Wei Yunzhou did not answer, but said: "The assassin who assassinated Mo Ruilin and the one who killed Yue Zhu were also their people. The former was trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain, and the latter happened to run into Yue Zhu, so he killed her."

Xue Huang connected his previous and subsequent words together and asked tentatively, "You went out so early in the morning, weren't you going to destroy other sects?"

Xue Huang knew about this organization. The Eagle Clan was originally just an unknown assassin organization in the Jianghu. They had always been doing some ordinary murder business in the market. It was said that they had always wanted to connect with officials to make more money. Unexpectedly, they connected with the Minister of Rites. But why did the Minister of Rites target her? She didn't recognize this person?

Wei Yunzhou didn't say anything and accepted the answer.

Xue Huang was moved. Looking at Wei Yunzhou's condition, she thought that he did not mobilize the forces of Shanhe Sect, but destroyed Cangying Sect alone, so he came back in such a miserable state.

Looking at his wound that was still bleeding, she frowned and said, "Take care of the wound first."

Wei Yunzhou just looked at the killer, "You are no longer valuable."

The fear in the eyes of the man in black could no longer be hidden. He was just following orders, but he didn't expect that his lair would be raided and he would have to pay the price with his life.

He spoke hastily, "I am only following the orders of the Sect Master. I have no grudge against you. If you let me live, I can help you kill Situ Yue."

"I saw you didn't say anything just now, and I thought you were a tough guy, but I didn't expect you to back down so quickly." Xue Huang said. "Unfortunately, I'm not interested in you now."

Wei Yunzhou said coldly: "As a killer, you underestimated your opponent. There is only one ending."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sword in his hand flashed like lightning, and a blood mark appeared on the black-clothed man's throat, and he died instantly.

"Uncle, was the woman you mentioned also taken away by them?"

"She wants to see you." Wei Yunzhou seemed to hesitate for a moment before saying this.

Xue Huang was even more confused. She had a lot of questions, but she still chose to follow Wei Yunzhou silently to a secret room in the backyard.

The men in black in the room and the corpses outside were quickly cleaned up by the people from Shanhe Gate.

Xue Huang's room was also cleaned up, as if nothing had happened.

Wei Yunzhou ignored the wounds on his body and brought Xue Huang to a secret room in the backyard.

After opening the door, Xue Huang saw an old woman lying on the bed, dying. She looked to be in her 50s or 60s, with tattered clothes and a haggard appearance. She seemed to have been seriously injured, and even the mud could not cover the paleness on her face.

The woman also saw Xue Huang. She seemed very excited and struggled to get up, but she was powerless. She could only reach out her hand to her tremblingly, as if she wanted to touch her.

Xue Huang walked over, held her dirty hand, looked at the tears in her eyes and asked, "You... recognize me?"

"You look...really like...your mother," she said excitedly.

"Have you seen my mother?" Xue Huang asked in surprise. She herself had never seen her.

The woman nodded, "I... am sorry for her. I didn't... take good care of you... until you grew up."

The woman's hands were cold and weak, but she still held Xuehuang's hands tightly, as if she was reluctant to let go.

Xue Huang saw that she was already exhausted, and she was able to hold on until now entirely out of willpower, just to see her. Seeing the guilt in her eyes, Xue Huang showed a warm smile, "I am living a good life now. You have not let her down."

The woman shook her head with difficulty, "I'm sorry, it's me...my appearance...that brought you trouble."

Xue Huang didn't quite understand what she meant, but facing such a dying person, she didn't want to let her leave with regrets.

"Some things should be fate," Xue Huang said softly, "I can bear it. You don't have to worry. Mother won't blame you either."

Tears slid down the woman's face, and she looked at her with relief in her eyes, "Live well... I... can go... to see your mother..." After she finished speaking, her hands dropped weakly, her eyes slowly closed, a peaceful smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and then she died.

Xue Huang looked at her empty palm. Although she had never met her, she felt very sad at the moment. "Second Uncle, who is she?"

"An old friend of your mother." Wei Yunzhou said.

"You said she has been staring at Jinxiu Tower. Is it because of me?"

"Yes." Wei Yunzhou said. "She came to see you and accidentally discovered that you were being targeted by the people from the Cang Ying Sect. On the night Yue Zhu was killed, she had fought with them, but unfortunately she was no match for them and was captured by the Cang Ying Sect."

"Why doesn't she come to see me directly?" Xue Huang stood up and asked.

Wei Yunzhou remained silent.

Xue Huang sighed and said, "If you don't want to talk about it, forget it. Second Uncle, can you bury her properly?"

"Okay." Wei Yunzhou responded.

Xue Huang walked out silently, and unknowingly came to the long street from the side door, wandering around aimlessly. She didn't want to admit it, but she had to admit that it was because of her that Yue Zhu and her mother's old friend were killed.

Maybe she should have listened to Wei Yunzhou from the beginning and left Beiling early, then maybe none of this would have happened.

Xue Huang was walking on the street, and she heard the sound of a piano from somewhere, which was slightly sad. The sound was melodious and full of emotion. She found a quiet place to sit down and listened to the song silently, but she found that two lines of tears had already flowed down her face.

"Do you regret it?" a voice came from the gem.

"I should have listened to you and not come here. I should have listened to my second uncle and left here earlier. Maybe none of this would have happened."

"So you want to leave here now?"

Xue Huang was silent for a moment, "I should leave, but if I leave like this, wouldn't their deaths be in vain?" The person who hired the Cang Ying Sect was the Minister of Rites Situ Yue, and Wei Yunzhou sent Gu Qinglan and Mo Ruilin away at the time because he obviously didn't want them to know. But her intuition told her that what Wei Yunzhou really didn't want them to know was probably the things related to him.

What secret is hidden behind this?
