She stood by his bedside, shedding tears, âIf I had known you were going to do something so dangerous, I should have sent the guard with you. Itâs all my fault!â
Zi Wei felt a strange sensation in her heart, âItâs not your fault.â
The things he had to do had nothing to do with her.
âIt is my fault, husband, you rest well, I will go find a doctor for you, I will try⦠I will try to ask the empress to see you, okay?â Yue Lianâs heart ached terribly for him, seeing him injured made her want to bring him the very best of the whole world.
She was ready to give her all.
Zi Wei grabbed her hand, âNo need.â
His grip was domineering, causing a twisting pain at Yue Lianâs wrist.
She bit her lip, âBut your wounds need a doctor and medicine! You canât delay!â
Zi Weiâs hand did not relax, and before Yue Lian could say more, his aura suddenly turned cold, âDonât move, someone is coming.â
âWhat?â Yue Lian had not yet grasped the situation when noise erupted.
âBoomââ
âBang bang bang!â
The entire room was pierced from all directions, and even the bed on which Zi Wei lay was split by a knife.
Luckily, Zi Wei had pulled her away in time, carrying her through the window, landing steadily on the ground.
Yue Lian felt the warmth of the manâs chest, an abrupt sense of security enveloping her, as if she had returned to ten years ago when the Yue Family had been slaughtered in one night, leaving her as the sole survivor.
She was supposed to die too.
But just as the enemy raised the knife to chop down at her, Zi Wei killed the person and brought her to a safe place.
Zi Wei didnât speak a word at the time, and people from Silver Moon Pavilion came to tell her that it was a deal between the Yue Family and Silver Moon Pavilion, to preserve the Yue Family bloodline.
As the last bloodline of the Yue Family, she survived and took great effort to rebuild the Yue Family.@@novelbin@@
Yet, what she had longed for, to be held in Zi Weiâs arms again, only came true just now.
Zi Wei ran with her to an open space, being chased by people who looked fierce and skilled in martial arts from three sides, with a wall behind him.
The leading assassin walked out, accompanied by a man dressed in a dark purple robe.
That person was Xiao Hui.
Xiao Hui looked at the man and woman trapped and sneered, âDaring to snatch what I want, boy, you sure are bold!â
Zi Wei never bothered to engage with such boring people. He swung his knife, cleaving the closest person in twain in midair, the body falling without a drop of blood splattering.
Watching this scene, Xiao Huiâs eyes narrowed slightly, âThe number one assassin of Silver Moon Pavilion is somewhat impressive!â
The assassins he had raised for so long were none capable of executing such domineering martial arts, able to split someone in midair!
But this wouldnât stop him!
Xiao Hui waved his hand, and a group of archers emerged, their weapons not as good as those forged by the Yue Family, but powerful enough to kill them both.
Yue Lian stood by Zi Weiâs side, and although she knew some martial arts, it was only sufficient for self-defense. In such a situation, it would be difficult for her to escape by herself.
She squeezed Zi Weiâs arm and whispered in his ear, âHusband, you are highly skilled in martial arts. You should leave first! I am not afraid!â
Zi Wei looked down at her, âImpossible.â
He was tasked with protecting Yue Lian. How could he possibly leave her alone to face death?
Besides, he didnât need to flee for his life.
Zi Wei pointed to a spot behind them, âStand there, donât move.â
