Xie Bohuai sat upright on his horse, his obsidian-like eyes fixed on the person in front of him.

Ye Wanning kept her head down. Even though their eyes didn't meet, Xie Bohuai's cold voice alone made her feel extremely oppressed.

"I don't have time to waste with you," Xie Bohuai said, emphasizing his words.

Knowing she couldn't avoid it, Ye Wanning could only remove her cloak, but she still kept her head down. When she rolled up her sleeves, her fair, jade-like arms were revealed, trembling slightly.

"Raise your head." After Xie Bohuai finished speaking, he saw the other person slowly raise his head. His face was covered in bad skin, except for a pair of bright eyes that gave him a sense of familiarity. He couldn't see anything different about the other person.

Chunxi explained from the side, "My lord, my lady's face is poisoned and she really can't be exposed to the wind. It's not that she's deliberately trying to hide it."

Xie Bohuai stared at Ye Wanning's face, momentarily stunned.

When Qingshan next to him said disdainfully, "Really ugly," Xie Bohuai finally came to his senses. "Well, you guys can go now." Those two arms were very slender, without a single flaw, so they couldn't possibly belong to someone who used hidden arrows all year round.

Just then, the soldiers found a man who suddenly vomited black blood. By the time they checked on him, he had already passed away.

This case cannot be resolved for the time being.

After receiving Xie Bohuai's reply, Ye Wanning and Chunxi hurriedly left, fearing that something else might happen.

This patrol has taken up a lot of time, and since we can't get to a place to stay yet, we can only find a dilapidated temple to spend the night.

They didn't even dare to light a fire, for fear of being discovered.

Unfortunately, this time I was very unlucky; I could hear voices coming from outside.

"I saw them walking this way. That young lady was really ugly, but her arms were so white. I imagine her body must be just as fair and tender. It must have been very pleasurable for me!"

"I want her maid." Erjin really didn't understand his older brother's taste; how could he have such a unique taste, liking such an ugly young woman?

When they entered the dilapidated temple, they saw Ye Wanning and her maid about to leave, so they opened their arms to stop them.

"Don't be afraid, girl. We're not bad people. It's fate that we met. Are you cold? Let's warm up together!" Da Jin said, reaching out to hug Ye Wanning. It was dark now, and he couldn't see Ye Wanning's face clearly. But just as he rushed over, Ye Wanning slashed his arm with her dagger. "Do you fucking want to die?"

Da Jin's clothes and arms were ripped open, and blood flowed freely, causing him to howl in pain.

Ye Wanning and Chunxi's journey north was not in vain; they learned various self-defense techniques.

Seeing the two men who appeared in the middle of the night, the two men didn't waste any words and immediately started fighting.

Seeing Da Jin clutching his arm in pain, Ye Wanning didn't hesitate to add another dagger, aiming it at Da Jin's neck. However, it went slightly off-center, not severing Da Jin's throat, but instead cutting his face.

"Erjin, what are you standing there for? Get them!" Dajin roared as he fell to the ground. "You spineless coward! They're just two women. Kill them!"

Chunxi was too nervous when she made her move and didn't hurt Erjin. Now that Erjin had realized what was happening, he turned around and saw Ye Wanning and the other woman wielding daggers. Luckily, he dodged quickly, but his back hit the roof beam and he got a mouthful of dust.

Da Jin, who was on the ground, got up. He was in so much pain that his scalp was tingling, so when he saw Ye Wanning and the other person, he wanted them dead.

Ye Wanning noticed Da Jin's move and kicked him in the groin, but Da Jin dodged it.

Da Jin, being a man, turned around, grabbed Ye Wanning's arm, and forcefully pushed her against the wall.

Ye Wanning felt pain in her back, but dared not relax. Chunxi saw her master being pressed against the wall and was distracted when Erjin punched her, causing her to fall to the ground.

Whether they had actually practiced martial arts since childhood or had only learned a few moves from the guards, Ye Wanning bit Da Jin's injured arm as she watched herself being defeated by the weaker opponents.

At times like this, the only options are to fight to the death or face certain doom.

Ye Wanning immediately bit off a piece of flesh. She had been given a second chance at life and had nothing to be afraid of. As Da Jin retreated, she pointed the dagger at Da Jin's chest.

"Don't... don't come here!"

Ye Wanning naturally wouldn't listen to Da Jin. After stabbing once, she immediately followed up with a second and third stab, until Er Jin snatched her dagger, forcing Ye Wanning to stop.

"Big brother, how are you?" Erjin patted his older brother's face, but his brother didn't respond at all. "Don't scare me, big brother. If you die, how am I supposed to face our parents?"

"You bitch, you ugly monster, I'll kill you!" Erjin's eyes were filled with murderous intent as he looked at Ye Wanning. But just as he raised his hand, two figures entered through the door. One of them threw his sword, which struck Erjin squarely in the chest.

"Clap."

The dagger fell to the ground with a thud. Ye Wanning quickly picked it up, stepped back to Chunxi's side, and helped Chunxi up.

She cursed her bad luck, one after another.

It wasn't until the two people at the door stepped into the moonlight that she could see clearly that they were Xie Bohuai and Qingshan.

Xie Bohuai's angular face carried a chilling murderous aura. He entered the dilapidated temple, and by the dim moonlight, looked at the two corpses on the ground, then took out a tinderbox.

Upon seeing the bloody hole in Da Jin's chest, Xie Bohuai turned around and saw Ye Wanning covered in blood. Her eyes were wary, showing none of the fear she had displayed during the day.

He drew the sword from Erjin's chest, approaching step by step, and finally pointed the sword at Ye Wanning, asking, "Who are you?"
