“A murderous intent?” Suo Yiyi and the maid immediately became alert. They looked around. “Where?”
Lou Qianxue did not speak.
Everything was normal inside and outside of the carriage.
The maid relaxed. She frowned and glared at Lou Qianxue. “What murderous intent? Why are you spouting nonsense?”
Lou Qianxue ignored her.
“You!” The maid wanted to say more, but Suo Yiyi tugged on her sleeve.
Lou Qianxue was exceedingly beautiful and had an extraordinarily cold aura. Although the maid and the drivers did not hold her in esteem, Suo Yiyi felt that Lou Qianxue was not a normal person.
The maid shut up and sulked. The unhappiness in her chest had yet to dissipate when she heard Suo Rong suddenly yell, “Be careful! Protect Miss!”
At the next moment…
Clash!
They heard the sounds of weapons clashing against each other.
A powerful aura leaked inside the carriage. Suo Yiyi immediately paled, and she asked the maid, “Little He, could it be that those people had caught up with us?”
Lou Qianxue lifted the carriage curtains and saw that the two drivers were exchanging blows with a man clad in black clothes and a silver mask. She was stunned.
The Silver-masked Assassin!
An assassin from the Gate of Seven Kills!
Fresh blood splattered as the two mystic martial realm drivers killed the silver-masked assassin.
“Miss, it was a silver-masked assassin. But don’t worry. We have killed him.”
Suo Rong glared at Lou Qianxue. “But there’s something I must say, or I’ll feel uneasy.”
Suo Yiyi poked her head out. “What?”
“Miss, we have been safe throughout the journey. But when we met Miss Lou, something happened. I think that there is something wrong with this.” As he spoke, a murderous intent appeared on his face.
Suo Yiyi’s expression changed, and she looked at Lou Qianxue as well.
Lou Qianxue frowned slightly.
Suo Yiyi gritted her teeth and said, “Miss Lou, I’m sorry. We can’t bring you along anymore. We should go our separate ways. Suo Rong, give one of the dragon horses to Miss Lou. This shall be our compensation.”
Lou Qianxue jumped off the carriage with a cold expression. Her tone was indifferent as she spoke, “There’s no need.” If Suo Yiyi did not look similar to her friend, she would not have even boarded the carriage. Furthermore, the drivers’ and the maid’s attitude were resentful. Lou Qianxue could not guarantee that their three sharp-tongued people would be safe if she stayed here any longer.
“Miss Lou, I apologize. I asked you to board the carriage first, then chased you off. No matter what, please accept the dragon horse! Suo Rong, do it quickly!” At the critical moment, Suo Yiyi showed her authority.
“Yes!” Suo Rong reluctantly released a dragon horse and passed it to Lou Qianxue.
Lou Qianxue thought about it and took out a million taels of silver. “I’ll buy this dragon horse.” A million taels of silver was exactly the price of a dragon horse.
Suo Yiyi tried to reject her, but it was futile. She had no choice but to accept the money.
They still had to handle the corpse. Lou Qianxue rode the dragon horse and departed.
After traveling for a while, Lou Qianxue saw a few vicious-looking men standing beside the road.
A weird feeling immediately rose in her heart. However, she ignored it and continued riding forward.
However, their aura made her uncomfortable for an unknown reason. As she traveled three meters forward, Lou Qianxue could not help but turn her head back. She discovered that the men had disappeared, but in the middle of the road, a silver line brightly glinted and reflected the sunlight.
“These men are so weird. Why would they place a line across the road for no reason? Unless…”
Lou Qianxue paused. “It’s to trip the horse! Could it be that… their target is Suo Yiyi?”
Lou Qianxue frowned. She initially wanted to leave, but as the dragon horse beneath her neighed, she was reminded of Suo Yiyi’s resemblance to her friend.
“Never mind! She had intended to help me. Since I know that someone wants to harm her, I’ll save her life!” Lou Qianxue turned around and dashed back.
