Chapter 752 - 749: A Substitute_1
Arrows whistled through the air. In an instant, one pierced through the knee of an assassin, causing him to collapse in pain. The assassin with the sword was swiftly apprehended by the Hidden Guards of the Bai family.
The Bai family’s guards reacted with extreme speed. Without considering whether the intruders were enemies or not, they immediately shielded Bai Qingyan and promptly retreated.
In the brief moment of another assassin’s distraction, Yue Shi appeared from nowhere and pierced his abdomen with a sword. With a swift pull, blood splattered everywhere.
Bai Qingyan, standing with hands behind her back, glanced towards the distant figure standing on the eaves and, after a moment of surprise, revealed a slight smile. As the figure leaped down, her smile deepened.
After several months, as the war between Yan and the Wei Kingdom intensified, she had not expected to encounter Xiao Rongyan in this place.
The Hidden Guards of the Bai family looked at Yue Shi, surprised to see that the Hidden Guards did not raise their swords against him. Yue Shi, expecting to fend off a few attacks first, was taken aback when the Hidden Guards ignored him. Instead, they kicked the assassin’s face, dislodging his poisoned tooth and sending him sprawling far away.
The Hidden Guards sheathed their swords and hurried the assassin over to Bai Qingyan, bowing with fists clasped. "Young Lady, we captured only one alive!"
Bai Qingyan withdrew her gaze and saw Yue Shi sheathe his sword and swiftly approach her. "Yue Shi greets the Young Lady!"
Bai Qingyan nodded at Yue Shi. "Rise."
After Bai Qingyan spoke, the Bai family guards lowered their guard towards Yue Shi, sheathed their swords, and stepped back from in front of Bai Qingyan.
