Chapter 517 Assassination
Unexpectedly, the masked man did not search around the room. Instead, he took out a shining dagger from his arms, walked around the screen, and then suddenly jumped to the bed, stabbing the quilt several times with the knife.
This scene surprised Chu Xiaomu, who was hiding in the roof beam. The masked man was clearly coming for him, but he didn't know her, and it was impossible for him to have any hatred towards her. Why did this person come to assassinate him?
Looking at her moves just now, her sword strikes were fast and fierce. If it wasn't for the deep hatred, no one would be so vicious. Even if she was from the Golden Sword Sect, she wouldn't kill people without asking any questions.
The masked man stabbed a few times and then realized that he had not hit anyone. He suddenly pulled back the quilt and found that there was no one lying on the bed.
Realizing that she had fallen into the enemy's trap, she screamed "Ouch!" and turned around to run away.
How could Chu Xiaomu let her escape like this? He jumped down from the roof beam and slapped her on the back.
The masked man dodged sideways, suddenly turned around, and swung his left hand to throw something over.
Chu Xiaomu flicked his sleeve and knocked it away. With a light "click" sound, the thing was hit and hung on the wall. It was not completely dark yet, and Chu Xiaomu could see clearly that what she hit was not a hidden weapon like a dart, but a bunch of crystal clear silk-like objects.
I couldn't help but laugh that there are people in the world who use such strange weapons.
The masked man threw out silk-like objects one after another, but they were all knocked away by Chu Xiaomu's sleeves. He couldn't help but get a little anxious. Suddenly he jumped to the side, half-suspended his left hand, stretched out his right index finger, and drew circles quickly under his left hand.
Chu Xiaomu thought to himself, what on earth are you doing pretending? Suddenly, he saw circles of sparkling light flashing around him. He looked closely and found that they were all crystal threads as thick as his little finger, surrounding him in circles and were shrinking rapidly.
Without thinking too much, he slapped his palms three times in succession. The power of his palms shattered the crystal threads everywhere, and they fell to the ground with a clatter.
The masked man was startled. He threw out a crystal thread that hung on the window sill and jumped out of the house.
Chu Xiaomu used his strength to strike out at her back with a Soul-Locking Palm.
The Soul Locking Palm actually transforms the energy of the Force into a twisting force, which entangles and solidifies the opponent's muscles and bones, making it unable to move. It is truly magical. This palm style is actually very difficult to practice. Chu Xiaomu's advantage is that his Force is extremely high, so he was able to learn it easily. If you learn it step by step, it will take three to five years to practice it.
The masked man fell forward and fell to the ground, completely unable to move.
Chu Xiaomu walked over and turned her body around, frowning and asking, "Who are you, and why did you come here to harm me in the middle of the night?!"
The masked man was breathing heavily and glaring at Chu Xiaomu fiercely, his eyes full of resentment, but he didn't say anything.
Chu Xiaomu reached out and pulled off the silk cloth covering her face, and was stunned. It turned out that under the silk cloth was a very beautiful young woman with curved eyebrows.
This woman was naturally Sisi, but Chu Xiaomu didn’t know her.
The woman was ripped of her silk mask by him, and she was furious. She couldn't move after being hit by the Soul-Locking Palm, but fortunately she could still speak. She angrily said, "Don't touch me!"
Chu Xiaomu didn't want to touch her again, and said, "I don't know you, let alone have any grudge against you. You jumped into my room in the middle of the night to assassinate me. If you don't explain clearly, I can't let you go!"
At this time, Jinglan and Xiaoying heard noises coming from Chu Xiaomu's room next door, and they ran over to check. Chu Xiaomu opened the door and let them in.
The two girls found it incredible to see a beautiful woman huddled by the window with a gleaming dagger in her hand. They asked in unison, "Second brother/Brother Xiaomu, are you okay?"
Chu Xiaomu shook his head and said, "I'm fine." He snatched the dagger from Sisi's hand and placed it on the small table next to the screen.
Jinglan frowned and asked, "What on earth is going on?"
Chu Xiaomu also said he didn't know, and then he roughly described what had just happened, and finally said: "It's just that I asked her a few questions, and this woman refused to say anything."
Jinglan walked over and took the dagger, cut two small strips of cloth from the curtain, and then stuffed them tightly into the woman's ears. There were some things that she must not let her hear.
Chu Xiaomu thought that Miss Jinglan was very caring and was much more thoughtful about many things than he was.
Jinglan pulled Chu Xiaomu and Xiaoying to the other side of the screen and asked in a low voice: "Brother Xiaomu, Xiaoying, does anyone of you know her?"
Chu Xiaomu and Xiaoying shook their heads at the same time.
Jinglan asked again: "Did you make any enemies, so she chased you all the way to Jinyang City?"
Chu Xiaomu thought about it carefully and said, "I do have some enemies, such as the villagers of Dongxi Village in Bicheng and the Mo family in Baijuncheng. I'm afraid that He Cang from Xiaotushan also wants to kill me..."
Jinglan burst out laughing and said, "Brother Xiaomu, I didn't expect that you, who seem to be so honest, have offended so many people. But you can't be blamed for what happened in Dongxi Village. Master said that what you did at that time was the only correct way. It was very 'extraordinary'."
Chu Xiaomu sighed and said, "Don't mention this matter again. Please help me think about why this woman wants to harm me. Did we leak some information?"
Jinglan frowned and said, "This is indeed strange. If the people from the Golden Sword Sect or Jin Li'er found us, they would have asked us what we were doing. They would never send such a young woman to harm people at this time. Besides, it's not the middle of the night... Could it be..."
Chu Xiaomu and Xiaoying asked at the same time: "What's the problem?"
Jinglan said, "Could it be that they already suspected us, but were unsure, so they sent a woman like this to test us? But she is so young, what abilities can she have?"
Chu Xiaomu said, "This woman is a spirit." Then he walked to the wall and pulled off a small ball of crystal silk to show Jinglan and Xiaoying.
Jinglan said, "This is even more strange. I have never heard that the Golden Sword Sect would recruit alien spirits."
The three of them were even more shocked as they watched the small ball of crystal thread disappear bit by bit.
The three of them discussed for a while, but none of them could figure it out. They decided that Jinglan should ask her again, maybe the woman could answer.
Walking to the outside of the screen again, Jinglan walked over and carefully took out the cloth that was blocking her ears.
He said, "The three of us brothers and sisters have just arrived. If we have offended you in any way, we would like to apologize to you first." After saying this, he bowed deeply.
The woman pouted and said, "He's just pretending to be nice. He's not a good person!"
