"Hurry up and cover your young lady's mouth!" Lin Zhao was furious. He couldn't understand how his sister could be so clueless. Even at a time like this, she was still talking nonsense.

Lin Zhao looked at Su Yinyin helplessly, with an apologetic expression: "My daughter is spoiled. I am truly sorry for what happened today."

Su Yinyin looked at Lin Zhao, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. She had originally thought that Lin Zhao was as spoiled and rude as his sister, but she hadn't expected him to be so reasonable.

"Forget it, I don't want to argue with you," Su Yinyin said calmly. "I hope she can learn to respect others in the future."

After saying that, Su Yinyin led Su Yue and the others upstairs, leaving Lin Zhao behind.

After Lin Zhao saw them go upstairs, he turned and left the inn. A short while later, the sound of horses' hooves could be heard outside the inn.

In an inconspicuous corner of the inn, Murong Yu witnessed the entire process. At that moment, he was completely certain that Su Yinyin and the man beside her were the same two from the previous night.

He turned and left the inn, pondering to himself...!

On the carriage back to the capital, Su Yue was very scared, so she asked to ride in the same carriage as Su Yinyin.

Su Yue asked softly, "Sister, was I scared just now?"

"Don't be afraid, I'm here. As long as you're in the right, you can do whatever you want. You've been in the countryside for too long, so Biyu will stay with you for now. Biyu is good at martial arts, so no one can hurt you," Su Yinyin said softly.

Su Yinyin knew that Su Yue had always stayed in the village, and apart from the people and things in the village, she had never seen the outside world. She was also abused daily by those two inhuman people. Therefore, she lived in constant fear at the slightest disturbance!

Su Yinyin said, "After you get home, take good care of yourself. Don't be afraid or worried about anything else."

Su Yue lowered her head and said, "Thank you, sister. It's so good to have you!"

Su Xiaoxiao imitated her mother's speech very well, "Thank you, Auntie, it's so nice to have you!"

Su Yinyin patted Xiaoxiao's head and said, "Haha, you little rascal."

Although the carriage driven by the fifth brother wasn't going fast, the road was uneven, and the carriage was still swaying a bit. The swaying made the three people inside the carriage drowsy.

Suddenly, the carriage stopped. Su Yinyin thought, "Fifth Brother, have we arrived?"

The fifth brother calmly said, "Miss, there's an ambush ahead!"

Su Yue heard this and nervously grabbed Su Yinyin's arm. Su Yinyin felt the grip on Su Yue's hand and knew she was genuinely nervous. "Little sister, are you scared?"

"With your older sister here, aren't you afraid, little sister?" Although Su Yue was nervous, she was genuinely not afraid.

Su Yinyin asked again, "Is your sister afraid of dying?"

"I'm not afraid. As long as I can stay by my sister's side, I'm not afraid of dying," Su Yue said without hesitation.

Su Yinyin could sense Su Yue's sincerity. Su Yue regarded Su Yinyin as her only support.

"Don't worry, as long as your sister is here, you and Xiaoxiao will live healthy and happy lives," Su Yinyin promised.

The premise is that Su Yue and Su Xiaoxiao do not betray Su Yinyin and remain loyal to her. If they do, they will live a carefree life.

Su Yinyin asked earnestly, "Fifth Brother, do you need any help?"

Fifth Brother: "Miss, no need. Those people are no match for me."

Su Yinyin said with relief, "Okay, let's go then."

The carriage moved forward at a moderate pace.

On a distant mountain, two people stood in front of and behind each other.

"Master, why did the carriage stop for a moment and then continue moving forward?" asked the man in black standing behind.

If Su Yinyin were here, she would definitely recognize that one of the men was Murong Yu.

“They must have discovered an ambush ahead,” Murong Yu replied.

"What? They're so far away, how did they discover the ambush ahead? Did we have a spy tipping them off?" The man in black couldn't understand.

"What if one of them is the one who flew that night? Pass down the order, it's about time to retreat."

Murong Yu looked ahead, hoping he wouldn't disappoint her!

As soon as the carriage entered their range, countless men in black flew out and surrounded Su Yinyin and her companions' carriage.

Upon spotting the black-clad woman, Bixia and Biyu immediately jumped off the carriage and ran to Su Yinyin's carriage as fast as they could, shouting, "Protect the young lady!"

Su Yinyin stepped out of the carriage and calmly observed the men in black around her. She whispered to Biyu, "Protect Su Yue and Xiaoxiao."

Biyu nodded, her eyes fixed firmly ahead.

There was no dialogue between them, only eye contact.

"Fifth Brother, make your move!" The Fifth Brother flashed forward like a ghost, rushing towards the man in black. His short sword flew through the air, instantly taking down several enemies.

Su Yue reached out and nervously gripped Su Yinyin's clothes, but didn't forget to cheer on the fifth brother. Su Yinyin gently comforted him, "Don't be afraid, your sister is here."

Held in Su Yue's arms, Su Xiaoxiao watched the fight with curiosity, showing no fear whatsoever. Instead, she was excited.

When I get back, I'll talk to Xiaoxiao and see if she's interested in learning martial arts.

Su Yinyin's gaze sharpened, and she said, "Fifth Brother, let's finish this quickly."

The fifth brother originally thought that he should not reveal his strength easily and could only spend more time dealing with them.

Now that the young lady has spoken, it means that she is getting impatient.

Upon hearing the young lady's words, the fifth brother instantly exerted his strength, his short sword flashing like lightning, and wherever it struck, the men in black fell to the ground. In no time, all the men in black lay motionless on the ground, utterly exhausted.

Su Yinyin didn't even look at it. "It all smells of blood. Let's go!" she said, turning around and returning to the carriage.

Inside the carriage, Su Yinyin said to Lao Wu, "Lao Wu, you've worked hard. I'll give you a break when we get back."

The fifth brother chuckled and scratched his head. "Miss, I'm not tired at all, I don't need a holiday!" He was joking; if he took a holiday, he might not be able to come back.

"Fifth brother, you need to rest too."

"Miss, I have plenty of energy and don't need to rest!" the fifth brother said anxiously.

The carriage moved on.

And just like that, a fierce fight turned into a massacre, with dozens of people killed by a single person.

Murong Yu watched the battle from his vantage point, a flicker of surprise in his eyes. He hadn't expected the expert beside Su Yinyin to be even more skilled than he'd anticipated. The situation had reversed so drastically that he hadn't even been given time to order a retreat. In that instant, everyone was lying on the ground.

After Su Yinyin walked away, Murong Yu and the man in black appeared on the battlefield, and the man in black bent down to examine her.

"Master, our men were all first killed by having their meridians shattered, and then beheaded with a single blow." The man in black was also shocked.

"Such impressive methods." Murong Yu looked at the corpses scattered on the ground with a grim expression. "If it were you, could you do that?"

"I can't do it. I don't have the skill. Even if I did, I couldn't shatter the meridians of these thirty-odd people at the same time," the man in black replied honestly.

"Su Yinyin, you're really intriguing. What am I supposed to do?" Murong Yu thought to himself.
