The Year of Lihua: She Was Reborn

"Okay! Then I'll leave it to you, boss!"

Hua Ye's lips curled up slightly, and a barely perceptible cunning glint flashed in his eyes.

She calmly put her hands behind her back, and as if by magic, an extremely sharp short blade slid down her wrist silently and landed steadily in her palm.

The hilt of the knife was tightly gripped in his hand, and the blade flashed with a cold light. It was obvious that the short blade was ready to be used, and it would immediately display its amazing killing power at the command of its owner.

However, just as she walked up to the shopkeeper, something strange happened!

The originally solid wooden wall suddenly made a dull sound, followed by sawdust flying everywhere, and a group of vicious people broke through the wall like ghosts.

They all held sharp blades in their hands and rushed towards Hua Ye with great momentum. The flashes of swords and the shadows of sabers crossed each other, and the murderous aura was so fierce that it was chilling.

Faced with this sudden change, Hua Ye did not panic. She flashed, as nimble as a cheetah, and fell backwards with lightning speed.

At the same time, her toes lightly touched the ground like a dragonfly skimming the water, and she suddenly exerted force with her waist, and her whole body instantly took off into the air.

In mid-air, she opened her arms, like an eagle spreading its wings and soaring, or like a light and floating cloud.

She flashed and leaned to the right, and the short blade in her hand pierced into a person's aorta like lightning.

The blade was pulled out easily, and blood gushed out like a fountain, splashing on her cheek.

"ah......"

Shrill wails echoed throughout the rice shop, blending with the sounds of fierce fighting and reverberating throughout the street. However, Xu Zhi sat steadily on the abandoned tea stall, his expression unchanged, and instead revealed a cold smile.

At this moment, a man in black was kicked hard by Hua Ye. His body flew backwards like a kite with a broken string, broke through the door of the rice shop, and rolled down the stone steps.

The rice shop owner saw that the situation was not good and tried to take advantage of the chaos to slip away through the back door. Unfortunately, his plan failed. As soon as he took a step, he was blocked by Xu Zhi who suddenly appeared.

Not long after, Hua Ye quickly dealt with the other enemies and hurriedly chased out.

At this moment, he came face to face with Master Xuzhi, who was carrying the shopkeeper who was over fifty years old.

Hua Ye hurriedly stopped, took the trembling rice shop owner from Xu Zhi's hands, walked straight into the house, and asked sternly: "Where is my Miller?"

The shopkeeper looked in horror at the black-clad men who were wailing, in great pain, and even bleeding all over the ground and fainted. His legs were weak and he could hardly stand.

He trembled and stammered for a long time, and finally fainted from anger. Hua Ye let go of his limp body and let him slide to the ground naturally.

"Boring! Since you know my name, you actually sent these useless people..."

Hua Ye couldn't help but roll his eyes, squatted down, picked up the hem of the shopkeeper's brocade robe, wiped the blood off the short blade, and put it back into his sleeve.

The hostility that could not be concealed was exposed in front of Xu Zhi without reservation. The bloodstains on her face made her look more like a delicate and thorny red rose.

"Yer, did you hit me too hard?"

"Master, when did you become so compassionate?"

"I am worried that you have killed too many people and that this will shorten your lifespan..."

"It doesn't matter. I, Hua Ye, have killed enough people, haven't I? I don't care if a few more of their lives are lost. Anyone who offends me will be killed..."

As she spoke, the expression on her face became more and more serious, and there was an ambiguous curve at the corner of her mouth.

While they were talking, Zuo Yun and Zuo Nian surrounded the place with their guards, who were wearing tailor-made imperial uniforms.

Holding the hilt of the crescent-shaped knife, Zuo Nian strode in, taking two steps at a time. Zuo Nian followed him in at a leisurely pace.

Hua Ye's pair of almond-shaped eyes, which were filled with hostility after he had just killed someone and had not yet retreated, were imprinted on Zuo Nian's anxious face, and the hostility immediately disappeared without a trace.

Xu Zhi raised his hand to wipe the blood off her face and said, "You girl, everything is fine except that you are a little too violent!"

"Master doesn't like it? But Ye'er can't change it. Some people shouldn't live in this world..."

Her eyes dimmed and she answered from behind Jiuxuzhi.

"Miss Hua, your martial arts skills are truly unparalleled. I rushed here upon hearing the signal from the secret sentry... I didn't expect to be a step too late..."

Zuo Yun pushed Zuo Nian aside and took a step forward teasingly.

"It's not too late, Master Zuo Shaoqing. I've left him alive for you to interrogate!"

Hua Ye hid behind Xu Zhi and pointed at the rice shop owner who had fainted on the ground. He continued, "Please, adults, please deliver the rice in the granary to the victims."

After she finished speaking, she tugged at Master Xuzhi's sleeve and signaled with her eyes: Master, it's time for us to go!

"Miss Hua, you don't have to worry about that... You can rest assured!" Zuo Nian was the first to respond, "Thank you, Miss Hua, for taking action and exposing their flaws."

Hearing Zuo Nian's familiar voice, Hua Ye stood up from behind him.

"It's a small matter! I'll take my leave now. I have important matters to attend to, so I can't stay here for long..."

Hua Ye naturally took Master Xuzhi's hand and walked out as if no one was around. No one dared to stop her.
