They each asked for a quiet room, ready to get some rest.

But who would have thought that she had only been in the room for a short while when a dark figure nimbly jumped in through the window, and she was lucky enough to see the figure that suddenly broke in.

The two stared at each other silently for a long time. Then, remembering his purpose, the man in black tried to hold her hostage with his sword.

However, to his utter surprise, her reaction speed was faster than lightning, and she skillfully dodged his sword strike in an instant.

Without hesitation, she used her hand as a sword, condensing a sharp sword aura, and hurled it fiercely at the man in black.

The man in black was instantly frozen in place, unable to move.

She seized this rare opportunity, quickly hoisted the man in black onto her shoulder, and then, like a gust of wind, threw him out of the window.

The entire series of movements unfolded rapidly, like a lightning bolt streaking across the sky, swift and fierce.

In that brief moment of less than a quarter of an hour, the entire set of movements flowed as smoothly as drifting white clouds in the sky, natural and effortless, without the slightest hesitation, and without making a sound.

Just as Chu Yunyi clapped her hands contentedly, a crisp knock came from the door.

Huh? Who's knocking?

Chu Yunyi looked toward the door with a puzzled expression, then slowly walked over and opened it. What came into view was Ouyang Qiao's face, which had a complicated expression.

Why is he knocking on her door so late at night? Is there something important he wants to tell her?

"Senior Brother Ouyang, is there something you need from me?"

A hint of confusion appeared in Chu Yunyi's eyes.

"I... I just came to see if there's anything I can help you with, so I came to ask you."

Ouyang Qiao asked in a gentle and refined manner, subtly peering into the room, but found it empty, without a single person in sight.

What happened? He had clearly arranged for someone to secretly kidnap her beforehand.

That way he could stage a hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress act, but nothing happened in her room.

Even if something had really happened, there should have been some signs of a struggle, but the room is now spotless, without a trace.

It seemed that the person he had bribed was not keeping his word. Thinking of this, Ouyang Qiao's face darkened slightly.

"Ah, I don't have anything particularly important to do, Senior Brother Ouyang. If there's nothing else, I'm going to rest."

As she spoke, Chu Yunyi bowed slightly, a hint of weariness in her eyes.

Seeing this, Ouyang Qiao's eyes flashed with a barely perceptible emotion, and he nodded slightly.

"Yes, Junior Sister Chu, please rest well and don't overwork yourself."

Seeing Chu Yunyi so readily say that she wanted to rest, Ouyang Qiao felt a little conflicted. He originally wanted to say something more to her, but seeing her determined expression, he decided not to say anything more.

After the other person closed the door, he sighed silently and turned to walk towards his own room.

At this moment, Chu Yunyi's expression turned somewhat unpleasant after closing the door.

She carefully recalled the scene she had just spent with Ouyang Qiao, and seeing that Ouyang Qiao seemed a little strange, a sense of suspicion welled up in her heart.

She had every reason to suspect that the man in black she had just thrown out was likely sent by Ouyang Qiao, but she had no idea what his purpose was.
