Marrying a concubine and swallowing her dowry? The mistress turns around and marries a high-ranking

Chapter 376

By the moonlight, Shen Lingjun saw that it was a tall and slender man dressed in a moon-white robe, which stood out in the darkness and was clearly not one to be discreet.

The last time I saw him, he was in disguise; this must be his true appearance.

His appearance was delicate and refined, like a watercolor painting rendered with just a few light strokes.

Thin, pale lips, a delicate, straight nose. A pair of long, narrow eyes with exceptionally light pupils, like the surrounding silvery moonlight. When she looked over, her gaze was calm and undisturbed.

He wasn't carrying any weapons, nor did he exude any overt murderous aura, but for some reason, it was obvious at a glance that he was there to kill.

Mo Zhonggui coldly shouted, "Take her away!"

He said this to the bodyguards who were following Shen Lingjun.

A bodyguard immediately appeared and stood behind Shen Lingjun.

Although Shen Lingjun was reluctant to leave Mo Zhonggui behind and felt that this was a rare and excellent opportunity to find out what was going on between Mo Zhonggui and Fu Shiyan, she knew the importance of the matter.

Her staying here will only be a burden to Mo Zhonggui.

So after a moment's hesitation, she hurriedly left under the escort of the bodyguard.

Fu Shiyan glanced at Shen Lingjun but didn't move.

Mo Zhonggui sneered, "It seems you've chosen me as your target this time."

Fu Shiyan said bluntly, "Chu Jinxun hired me to kill you."

Mo Zhonggui raised an eyebrow slightly: "Chu Jinxun can actually afford to pay such an exorbitant price to hire you?"

Fu Shiyan: "He also has his own secret treasury outside the Marquis of Changguo's mansion, which contains a lot of wealth. Besides, Chief Supervisor Mo has been keeping a close eye on me lately, which is very annoying. I originally wanted to kill you too."

Before he finished speaking, he had already leaped down from the rooftop toward Mo Chonggui!

Neither of them knew when they had drawn their weapons; Mo Zhonggui had a sword, and Fu Shiyan had a scimitar.

Both weapons had strange colors on their blades that didn't belong to metal, clearly indicating that each was more poisonous than the other.

In the blink of an eye, countless moves had been exchanged between the sword and the blade. Cold light flashed in the night, and a series of crisp metallic clanging sounds rang out. Because they were so rapid and dense, they sounded like a long, continuous sound!

In the garden, snow mist rose into the sky, spreading all around, and only a blurry afterimage could be seen because it was moving too fast, appearing and disappearing intermittently.

Frost-covered flowers, grasses, and trees piled high with snow were all slashed down by the sharpest sword energy and blade light.

With a crack, even the pillars under the corridor were suddenly cut in half diagonally. The two halves of the pillars paused for several seconds before collapsing to the ground with a thud, the break clean and smooth.

Such a commotion finally caught the attention of the servants in the Yongning Marquis's residence. The light of lanterns flickered as they approached, and hurried footsteps and voices could be heard.

When Fu Shi Yan takes on a mission to kill, he is very confident in his abilities and rarely uses methods such as poisoning or setting traps. He usually takes matters into his own hands.

Even the best skills are like swords; they always need to be drawn from their sheaths and practiced regularly to prevent them from becoming dull.

But after exchanging blows with Mo Zhonggui for a short while, Fu Shiyan realized that Mo Zhonggui's martial arts skills were on par with his own.

If the fight continues like this, he won't be able to kill Mo Chonggui.

Fu Shiyan immediately raised his hand and made a series of very complicated gestures.
