Shuiyue Villa has been peaceful for many years, but tonight is the first time an intruder has appeared.
If Shuiyue Villa hadn't sent many people who didn't return, Shuiyue Villa's external patrols wouldn't have been so lax, allowing thieves to take advantage of them.
However, Yueru just sneered. If Shuiyue Villa was really a place where people could come and go at will, it wouldn't be able to exist for a hundred years.
Under the dark night as thick as ink, a flash of silver suddenly appeared. The beautiful girl's sword flew out from Yueru's waist like lightning, swept two saplings, swept down branches all over the ground, and finally shot out from the corner of the courtyard wall.
There was a sound of sword sound.
A dark shadow flashed across the corner of the courtyard wall, climbed over the courtyard wall and disappeared into the night.
"Want to leave?"
Yueru snorted coldly, and the figure of the precedent flashed in front of the sisters, and rushed out in the direction where the black shadow disappeared with a thin line of pink zhenqi.
Although Shuiyue Villa has many female disciples, they also respect the strong.
Yueru can be entrusted with important tasks not only because of her huge potential, but also because this woman does have extraordinary strength. Coupled with the famous sword show girl in the world, this woman's combat effectiveness is among the younger generation.
It can be considered a leader.
In her eyes, this kind of sneaky thief in the middle of the night is just a small character after all. It should be easy for her to catch such a person personally.
However, things are not as simple as Yueru thought.
After climbing over the courtyard wall, in front of us is a resting place for a group of young people who came to learn from their masters.
The faint moonlight cannot see more details.
Yue Ru's face turned gloomy. She knew that the other party was a difficult character who was extremely good at being gloomy. Fortunately, Yue Ru had her to rely on. This pink Qi was a natural means of tracking, and she could clearly feel the Qi through perception.
Spread any movement in the area.
Yueru stood as a strong man in the courtyard, with a cold face, and circulated his true energy. The pink true energy spread in the air and gradually became lighter and thinner, but gradually covered all areas inside and outside the manor.
Soon, Yueru locked a direction, but what she didn't expect was that the person locked in her perception was already on the way out of the valley.
"So fast?"
Yue Ru felt a chill in her heart and knew something was wrong. According to the opponent's speed, she would not be able to catch up.
Or did the other party use other methods?
Yueru thought for a moment, but had no clue. But she couldn't let the thief leave, so she used her zhenqi to pursue him. She hoped that she was familiar with the surrounding terrain and could find a way to catch up with him.
Yueru's pursuit stopped for only a few seconds, and when the thief appeared again, he had already run nearly half a mile. At such a speed, only the master could compete with him. Could it be that the opponent was at the grandmaster level?
Yueru shook her head and threw away those unrealistic assumptions in her mind.
Which master would do such sneaky things?
Although there were many people outside the villa, no one noticed anyone passing overhead. It was still so quiet in the dark night, and the only sound was replaced by the faint sound of wind.
In a few breaths, Yueru arrived at the place where she had sensed the thief before, but there was just a raised stone and nothing else. There was no trace left around.
Yueru knew that she was too slow, and that the thief might have gone far away. But it was not easy for her to admit defeat. She once again used the true energy in her body to sense, but this time there was no gain at all. The previous thief disappeared out of thin air.
Generally speaking, the whereabouts are completely unknown.
"This is impossible!" Yue Ru muttered in her heart, "No matter how fast that person is, there is no way he can escape from my detection range in such a short period of time. Even Master..."
In confusion, Yueru suddenly heard a man's voice: "Are you chasing this person?"
"Who?!" Yueru was shocked, because the voice had appeared in front of her, but she didn't even notice it!
Turning around, Yueru saw the figure of a man standing three meters away from her. She instinctively wanted to draw her sword, but the man threw something.
It's another man!
I don't know what happened to this man, but he was convulsing, moaning, and feeling extremely painful.
Yueru had experienced it before and recognized at a glance that this was the person she was chasing, but he was actually restrained by others.
"He was walking too fast and didn't notice me, so I caught him for you."
Yueru frowned. The person she was chasing after was easily subdued by another person, which showed that the man she was talking to in front of her was not simple.
"Who are you?" Yueru asked coldly.
"Girl, we met during the day."
Hearing the voice, Yueru's expression changed: "You are Xia Chunqiu."
"It seems that the girl still remembered me."
"Why are you here?"
"To find Miss Yueru."
"Looking for me?" If it were another man, how could Yueru say this to him? I'm afraid she would have already drawn her sword.
But there was a person lying down in front of her, and Yueru didn't know Xia Shang's depth, so she didn't dare to act rashly.
"There are indeed some things that need to be discussed with the girl. For example, the thief in front of me. It seems that there will not be much peace in Shuiyue Villa in the next few days."
After saying such words, Yueru knew that this person must know something, so she asked: "Who are you? And what do you know?"
"Before this, should the girl ask this man what else he knows?"
After Xia Shang finished speaking, both of their eyes focused on the captured man in front of them.
Xia Shang explained: "This man accidentally got hit by my poisonous needle, so he is not a threat. If you have anything to ask, girl, just ask. If he doesn't speak, I have a way to make his life worse than death."
Yueru didn't have a thin line and stepped on the chest of the man on the ground: "Who are you? Why did you sneak into Shuiyue Villa late at night? What is your purpose?"
The people on the ground didn't answer, they just kept shaking, not knowing what kind of pain they were enduring at the moment.
The corners of Xia Shang's mouth raised. He was very experienced in using poison. It was not difficult to speak alone.
He confidently stepped forward to try his new poison, but unexpectedly the trembling man suddenly calmed down...
Xia Shang secretly thought that something was wrong. Because of the light, he didn't notice this man's little move.
When Xia Shang turned the man over, he found that he was foaming at the mouth and no longer alive.
Yueru was shocked: "He was poisoned to death by you."
"No...it was him who took the fatal poison himself."
"Did he commit suicide?" Yue Ru was horrified, "What kind of conspiracy can make people commit suicide by taking poison? What are the identities of these people?"
"Perhaps the answer can be found from this knife."
As he spoke, Xia Shang pulled out an extremely sharp long knife from the waist of the corpse.
The shape of this knife is different from the knives seen in daily life. Yueru didn't recognize it when she saw it.
But Xia Shang was extremely familiar with it. This sword was unknown to the people of the Central Plains. Its shape was very similar to the samurai sword used by the islanders in the previous life.
Could it be Japanese pirates causing trouble? (To be continued)
