Early - day Huai Zhu started practicing swordsmanship. It was as if she couldn't hear any outside sounds. She let the sweat soak the hair on her forehead. There was nothing else in her eyes. All she wanted now was to focus on training to improve herself so as to defeat Jin Renfeng.
【Assassinate Jin Renfeng! Assassinate Jin Renfeng!】
The mechanical reminder in her mind rang again, urgent and warning.
Early - day Huai Zhu shook her head. Her body hadn't fully recovered yet. Now was not the best time to assassinate Jin Renfeng. She wanted to wait for some time before taking action.
But the plot didn't give her a chance to catch her breath.
【Set off now to assassinate Jin Renfeng! Otherwise, there will be very serious consequences! The consequences are very serious! No responsibility will be taken!】
Facing such a harsh warning, Early - day Huai Zhu had to take it seriously and stopped practicing swordsmanship.
Due to the intense sword - practicing, there was still sweat on her forehead, and her breathing was rapid and unstable. Early - day Huai Zhu put away her sword, stood still to calm her emotions, and then saw Wang Quan Ba Ye leaning against the door. She didn't know how long he had been watching her practice.
Because Wang Quan Ba Ye got up early, his hair was slightly messy, and there was still a trace of tiredness in his eyes, which made him look even more gentle.
It had to be said that this man was a masterpiece of heaven. His facial features were as sharp as if carved by a knife, and his face had smooth lines. His long and narrow peach - blossom eyes were full of tenderness. The indifference he showed to others was nowhere to be seen in front of Early - day Huai Zhu.
Although Wang Quan Ba Ye didn't know why Early - day Huai Zhu had been drinking tonics and practicing so frequently recently, he still supported all her actions gently as always.
Early - day Huai Zhu hesitated. She put the sword in her hand on the stone table in the yard and walked towards Wang Quan Ba Ye at the door.
"Huai Zhu?" Wang Quan Ba Ye leaned against the door and watched Early - day Huai Zhu walking towards him with her head down.
This woman he loved deeply. He didn't know what she was going to do next, so he called her name in confusion.
"Hubby." Early - day Huai Zhu raised her hanging head and looked at the tall man in front of her with bright eyes.
Wang Quan Ba Ye folded his arms and looked at her gently and intently, with a smile on his lips and a sparkle in his eyes.
Early - day Huai Zhu suddenly didn't want to deceive such a gentle Wang Quan Ba Ye. He was so tender at this moment that it seemed he would believe whatever she said. But due to the plot, she had to assassinate Jin Renfeng. Now she couldn't afford any unknown consequences.
For Early - day Huai Zhu now, any small disturbance could be fatal. Moreover, people all over the world were skeptical of the Wang Quan Manor and Wang Quan Ba Ye, waiting to see the Wang Quan Manor make a fool of itself.
She decided to take action at night, which gave herself a chance to catch her breath.
That night, Early - day Huai Zhu and Wang Quan Ba Ye went to bed early as usual. But today, Early - day Huai Zhu couldn't fall asleep peacefully. Her nerves were always on edge. After listening to the steady breathing of the person beside her, she confirmed that he was asleep and then started to act.
Early - day Huai Zhu gently lifted the quilt and got out of bed. She tried to make as little noise as possible so as not to wake Wang Quan Ba Ye.
She tiptoed to change into a night suit. This black outfit was very convenient for moving at night. It was hard to recognize her, which greatly increased the possibility of a successful assassination.
After getting ready, Early - day Huai Zhu stood at the door. Before she set off, she turned her head and took a deep look at Wang Quan Ba Ye. He was sleeping soundly in bed with his eyes closed. Early - day Huai Zhu took a deep breath and left the Wang Quan Manor.
She was naturally very familiar with the way to the Divine Volcano Manor. Early - day Huai Zhu used her light - body skill all the way and soon arrived at the gate of the Divine Volcano Manor.
Walking into the manor, it no longer had the previous glory and liveliness. There were few servants left. In the past, the fruit manor had servants on night watch and was heavily guarded, but now, because there was almost no one, Early - day Huai Zhu slipped in easily.
She searched around, skillfully shuttling between the rooms and corridors. Finally, she seemed to find something. She tiptoed to push open the door and sneaked into the room.
It wasn't too late yet. It wasn't time for the servants to rest. So as soon as Early - day Huai Zhu broke into the room, the people inside had just turned off the lights and were about to go to bed.
"Shh!" The person in the room seemed startled. Early - day Huai Zhu quickly put her index finger to her lips, signaling him not to make a sound.
The familiar voice. The person in the room quickly recognized her. Seemingly in disbelief, he trembled and said, "Mis... Miss?"
"It's me. Don't make a sound." Early - day Huai Zhu said. This was a servant she trusted relatively. So when she received the news to assassinate Jin Renfeng, she thought of him in the Divine Volcano Manor.
"It's really you, Miss!" The young man lowered his voice, but his excitement was hard to hide.
He hadn't seen the miss since the accident in the Divine Volcano Manor. Since the change, the Divine Volcano Manor had become much quieter. Although the servants seemed respectful to Jin Renfeng on the surface, they were secretly indignant at what he had done.
He was a bit in disbelief when he suddenly saw the miss today. He didn't expect to see her again.
"Actually, I came to you today just to ask about Jin Renfeng's whereabouts. Where is he now?" Early - day Huai Zhu didn't want to waste too much time.
"Senior brother should be resting in his room. I'll look for his whereabouts for you first and keep you informed at any time." As expected of the person Early - day Huai Zhu trusted, he didn't say much about her request. He put on his outer clothes and was about to go out to inquire about Jin Renfeng's whereabouts. He handled things neatly and without any sloppiness.
Early - day Huai Zhu nodded. "Okay." Then she also went out to carefully look for Jin Renfeng's whereabouts.
She hadn't been to the Divine Volcano Manor for a long time. One could still vaguely see its previous appearance, but all the precious flowers, plants, and medicinal herbs were gone. It was rather desolate. Early - day Huai Zhu walked along the corridor but didn't see a single person, let alone Jin Renfeng.
Something was wrong... If the servants didn't obey Jin Renfeng's discipline, it shouldn't be so quiet in the whole manor.
Moreover, when she sneaked into the room to find someone just now, the whole manor was pitch - black, and there was not a single lit room. Jin Renfeng seemed to have disappeared without a trace.
No! There must be a trap!
An alarm bell rang in Early - day Huai Zhu's mind. Her nerves were highly tense, and her body tensed up unconsciously. She instinctively smelled danger.
"Get out first!" Early - day Huai Zhu realized and quickly used her light - body skill to escape from this strange Divine Volcano Manor.
But after all, the Divine Volcano Manor was one of the top manors in the world, and its area was quite large. So even though Early - day Huai Zhu was familiar with the terrain, it was not easy for her to get out immediately.
Early - day Huai Zhu landed in a forest. It was already night, and the dense forest was even darker and more terrifying. Although there was no one in sight, the evening wind was rather desolate and chilling.
"It's strange. It's too strange." Early - day Huai Zhu observed the surrounding situation and walked forward carefully. This bamboo forest was not very big, but its terrain was complex. For those who were not familiar with it, it was like a maze.
Early - day Huai Zhu groped forward slowly based on her previous memory. But suddenly, she felt a shiver down her spine. Her instinct told her there was danger!
Suddenly, there was a rustling sound in the bamboo forest. Early - day Huai Zhu stared wide - eyed at the surroundings.
"Junior sister, since you've come back to the Divine Volcano Manor with great difficulty, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"
