Shall I help you kill him?

A sword mark appeared, and blood flew!

'Chu Qing' still had a cold killing intent on his face, but his hands involuntarily went to touch his throat.

His body swayed, still trying to struggle forward a couple of steps, but with a thud, he fell face down on the ground and was still.

And the figure of the person who struck was gone in a flash, reaching the courtyard wall with just one step.

Immediately after, he looked back... the next moment, he leaped up.

"Who's there?"

"The Third Young Master of the Chu Family was killed by him?"

"Are you stupid? That one just now was obviously fake. How could the real Third Young Master kill his father?"

"But what if he's heartless?"

The entire front courtyard was filled with discussions for a while.

Only Wu Qianhuan reacted instantly.

She leaped up, first stepping on a nearby table, using the momentum to chase after Chu Qing.

"It's him!!"

Although Chu Qing was wearing a bamboo hat, and even wore an extra mask under the hat when others weren't paying attention.

But the moment Chu Qing looked back, Wu Qianhuan still saw Chu Qing's eyes.

There was absolutely no mistake!

This guy had shed his servant's clothes and actually disguised himself as a guest of the Chu Family.

"Stop right there!!!"

How could Chu Qing stop... Not only would he not stop, but he ran even faster.

Wu Qianhuan gritted her teeth and chased after him.

With her previous experience, this time she locked onto Chu Qing tightly. No matter how many tricks he had, he wouldn't be able to escape her sight!

In the blink of an eye, the Chu Family compound was left behind by the two of them. Further ahead was the city gate.

Wu Qianhuan shouted from a distance:

"Stop him!!"

The Heavenly Dance Guards standing in front of the gate heard the shout and wondered who was so rude?

Are we, the Heavenly Dance Guards, supposed to listen to whoever shouts?

But when they looked closely, it turned out to be their own Young Miss!

They immediately formed a formation in a hurry, wanting to stop the swordsman ahead... But unexpectedly, when the swordsman reached them, he leaped up and stepped on air.

The group of Heavenly Dance Guards looked up with their necks craned, watching him pass over their heads.

But there were also experts who flew up to capture him. However, they saw that the figure, which should have been showing signs of decline, actually rose another three feet in the air. He continuously used the walls of the city gate tunnel for leverage with his feet, and in just a breath's time, he had already crossed through the city gate.

Wu Qianhuan was furious:

"Get out of the way!!"

The Heavenly Dance Guards felt like crying. You're the one who shouted to stop him, and you're also the one who shouted to get out of the way...

What exactly should we do?

But before they could get out of the way, Wu Qianhuan also leaped into the air, using the heads of several Heavenly Dance Guards as leverage to pass.

The Heavenly Dance Guards who were stepped on didn't feel ashamed, but rather proud.

My head was stepped on by the Young Miss, do you have this honor?

Wu Qianhuan didn't know what these Heavenly Dance Guards were thinking. She was single-mindedly focused on capturing Chu Qing.

After flying over the city gate, Chu Qing was a little absent-minded.

He had felt that something was wrong earlier, but he couldn't pinpoint exactly what was wrong.

However, at this moment, he had some understanding in his heart.

He just looked back at Wu Qianhuan and was a little speechless for a moment.

Looking at this situation, if she didn't catch up to him today, she probably wouldn't give up.

But thinking of Chu Yunfei's words just now, he couldn't help but feel a strange sensation in his heart. The one who was sorry to Wu Qianhuan was actually the original owner, but now that he had inherited this life, these matters would inevitably fall on his head.

Thinking of this, Chu Qing let out a breath, turned around, and stopped.

Wu Qianhuan also stopped accordingly, looking coldly at Chu Qing, even the smile in the corner of her eyes had disappeared:

"Not running anymore?"

"Can't run anymore."

Chu Qing smiled:

"You say you're a young lady, chasing after me, a grown man, so far. Aren't you worried about anything unexpected happening?"

"To be honest, I'm not a good person."

"...Then tell me, who exactly are you?"

Wu Qianhuan's lips twitched, a hint of mockery in her eyes.

"And what reason do you have for breaking into the Chu Family and saving the family head?"

"What if I don't tell you?"

Chu Qing raised an eyebrow slightly, the gaze from behind his mask carrying a hint of flippancy.

Wu Qianhuan reached out and pressed her hand to her sword hilt:

"Then I'm afraid you won't be leaving today."

Chu Qing gave a helpless smile:

"Alright, alright, to be honest, I'm just a mercenary in the jianghu, killing for money to make a living.

"Coming to the Chu Family this time was simply at someone's request."

"...An assassin?"

The mockery on Wu Qianhuan's face deepened:

"I've heard of assassins killing for money, but I've never heard of an assassin being paid to protect someone... Can it be that you can't even tell a lie?"

"As the esteemed young lady of Heavenly Dance City, you naturally wouldn't know how difficult it is for us little people struggling at the bottom of the jianghu. As long as you pay, let alone saving someone, I'll do anything you want."

"Fine."

Wu Qianhuan directly took a gold ingot from her怀里:

"Here's the money. Take off your bamboo hat and mask."

Chu Qing: "..."

Wu Qianhuan sneered:

"Didn't you say you'd do anything as long as you're paid?"

"Young lady should understand that our line of work is one that cannot see the light of day. Once my true identity is exposed, I'm afraid my life will be in danger.

"While the gold in your hand certainly makes my eyes water, compared to my own life... it's nothing."

Listening to him speak, Wu Qianhuan felt a surge of frustration.

She was already ninety percent sure in her heart, yet this person's words had a peculiar logic to them that made it impossible for her to refute.

Filled with anger, she no longer bothered with such niceties. Her hand on her sword hilt, she slowly stepped forward and spoke coldly:

"Talking to you is a complete waste of time.

"Since you're unwilling, I'll help you strip away this disguise and see who you really are!"

"...Hold it, young lady!"

Chu Qing quickly waved his hand:

"As the saying goes, men and women should not touch. How can we undress upon first meeting? Although I am doing this for money, I would not sell myself out like this... Watch out!!"

As he finished speaking, Chu Qing suddenly let out a startled cry.

"The one who should be careful is..."

Wu Qianhuan was so angry she felt like her soul was leaving her body. However, before she could finish the word 'you', she felt the wind behind her was wrong.

Turning back abruptly, she saw a massive fist already in front of her.

Overturning Sea Dragon Fist, Xin Youhen!

Why was this guy here?

Wu Qianhuan's face changed. Fortunately, her long sword was already in her hand, its sharp edge rising like a bright moon.

With a bang, the sword energy and fist force collided.

Wu Qianhuan, after all, had responded in haste. She gave a muffled grunt and stumbled back a step, glancing at Chu Qing:

"Aren't you going to leave quickly!?"

Hearing this, Chu Qing glanced at Wu Qianhuan:

"You're not his match."

"So what?"

Wu Qianhuan's forehead almost twitched with a visible vein again. What time was it, and he was still making sarcastic remarks?

However, the next moment, she heard Chu Qing chuckle:

"How about you give me some silver, and I'll help you kill him?"
