Miss Truth

It turned out that another maid had seen Chai Xuanyi at a disadvantage and rushed over to help.

Chai Xuanyi’s mind went blank for a moment but soon cleared. Enduring the pain, he staggered forward and, with trembling hands, pulled the knife from his own maid’s chest.

There was no longer any room for retreat.

He Yan and Yu Lang also understood that today it was a case of kill or be killed. After a series of movements, they had sweated profusely, the medicinal effect on their bodies had mostly dissipated, and their strength gradually returned.

Two healthy men were clearly gaining the upper hand against one injured man and a weak woman. After a lengthy standoff, Chai Xuanyi felt that he could wait no longer. Although their current situation was not good, they still had a chance to win. But if Dou Chengfeng were to wake up in a little while, he certainly would have no chance at all.

At that moment, the four of them crossed swords once more, only the maid had changed.

Initially, due to the maid’s physical strength, she managed to hold on, but Chai Xuanyi must have been struck by Yu Lang in a way that affected his vision, which remained blurry, and his head dizzy and painful, eventually being forced to the edge of the hillside.

Seeing that she could not overcome them, the maid looked down the slope to the river. The slope was steep and covered with many loose rocks; though not entirely impassable, she saw no chance of prevailing. So, she urged Chai Xuanyi, "Ah Lang, let’s get out of here. As long as the green hills are there, we needn’t worry about firewood!"

Chai Xuanyi was tempted, but He Yan and Yu Lang did not give them the chance. Seeing their intent to retreat, they took it as a great opportunity and violently lunged forward, pushing Chai Xuanyi and the maid down the slope.
