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

Chapter 378

Shen Lingjun's neck was still bleeding. She stared at Mo Zhonggui with wide eyes and a deathly pale face.

Mo Zhonggui's gaze did not waver; he stared directly at her, his expression indifferent and utterly unmoved.

Fu Shiyan said with great interest, "Oh... it's still a love-hate relationship, interesting. But since Chief Supervisor Mo thinks his life is more important, then I'll help Chief Supervisor Mo kill this enemy."

Fu Shiyan walked towards Shen Lingjun and raised the curved sword in his hand.

But just then, as if he had smelled something, his expression changed slightly.

She took another step toward Shen Lingjun, as if to confirm that the scent was indeed coming from her.

"you......"

For a moment, Fu Shiyan seemed to completely forget everything around him, his narrow eyes widening in surprise, his pupils shrinking as he looked at Shen Lingjun.

"...You're the youngest disciple of that old man from the apricot and orange tree?"

Shen Lingjun remembered that when she left the Yongning Marquis's residence in disguise, posing as a disciple of the Apricot Orange Elder, she had encountered the Talisman Master Yan on the street.

As for the smell... she still had that faint, slightly bitter medicinal smell left from the bath. That smell hasn't completely dissipated yet, but it's become very faint, almost undetectable.

Fu Shiyan actually recognized her just by the smell of the medicine?

That nose is really impressive.

Although Shen Lingjun didn't know what Fu Shiyan really wanted, her intuition told her that it was time to admit it.

"Yes, that's me."

Fu Shiyan stared at her blankly, his gaze tracing over her face inch by inch, eager and longing.

It was as if he was searching for some familiar outline, trying to match Shen Lingjun's face with a face etched deeply in his memory, bit by bit...

is her!

He recognized him!

Although she was just a little girl in her early teens back then, and is now a woman in her early twenties, her face, with its cool and aloof air, and her clear, icy eyes...

You can’t go wrong!

Fu Shiyan's pupils dilated violently, and his whole body trembled slightly.

In that instant, he seemed to forget everything around him; the whole world was blank and silent, and all he could see was the person in front of him.

Do you still remember...?

His hoarse voice was only halfway through when a tiny ray of light suddenly shot out from behind him!

Fu Shiyan's attention was almost entirely focused on Shen Lingjun. By the time he reacted, it was too late. He managed to deflect most of the fine needles that Mo Chonggui had shot at him, but a few still landed on him.

The needle was clearly poisoned; he felt a slight pain at first, followed by a wave of numbness spreading throughout his body.

The black-clad assassin who had taken Shen Lingjun hostage was shocked to see this. Without any hesitation, Mo Zhonggui seized the opportunity and launched a second wave of hidden weapons at the black-clad assassin!

This time, the hidden weapon was much more formidable. It was a diamond-shaped, dark gold dart that made a sharp, piercing sound as it flew through the air. This small weapon seemed to come with the force of a thunderbolt!

The black-clad assassin's reaction was clearly not as fast as Fu Shiyan's. He didn't even have time to block it. The diamond-shaped dart, like a golden light, pierced through the darkness and shot straight into the center of his eyebrows!

With a muffled thud, the dart almost completely pierced his skull, leaving only a bloody hole, demonstrating the immense force it had carried.
