Volume 1_Chapter 37: What is that faint heartache about?

Facts proved that Yun Qiyue was actually typically overthinking.

Xuan Ming just looked deeply at Yun Qiyue, took the deed of sale from Yun Qiyue's hand, and left without looking back.

It was simply waving his sleeves, not taking away a single cloud.

Although it was within expectations, but... what was that faint heartache about?

Just at this moment, the system reminded her that 30 points had been credited, and Yun Qiyue felt that the heartache had dissipated a little.

"Young Mistress..."

Xixue, who saw Xuan Ming leave, rushed into the room anxiously. Seeing Yun Qiyue standing there intact, she breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

"Young Mistress, that Xuan Ming..." Xixue wanted to ask why Xuan Ming left.

After all, that was someone the young mistress spent 150,000 taels of silver to buy; if this person left, wouldn't it be money down the drain?

Yun Qiyue: "I let him go."

Xixue wanted to ask why, but seeing Yun Qiyue's appearance of not wanting to say anything, she tactfully shut her mouth.

Afterwards, Yun Qiyue didn't return to the fourth floor, but left the First Pavilion directly with Xixue.

After leaving the First Pavilion, Xixue asked Yun Qiyue if she was going back, but Yun Qiyue thought of something and asked Xixue, "Do you have any money on you?"

Xixue: "..." She silently took out a 100-tael silver note from her bosom.

This was still given to her by her godfather for her to spend on the young mistress; she just didn't expect the young mistress to spend 150,000 taels as soon as she came out, and it was the kind that went down the drain.

Thinking of Xuan Ming, Xixue sighed again in her heart.

Seeing that Xixue really had silver notes, Yun Qiyue breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked Xixue to take her to a pharmacy.

By the time Yun Qiyue came out of the pharmacy with several large bags of medicine, it was already late.

But after leaving the pharmacy, Yun Qiyue didn't directly let Xixue lead the way back to the General's Mansion, but walked towards a small alley near the pharmacy.

When the two of them turned several corners and entered a deserted deep alley, Yun Qiyue stopped, threw all the medicine bags in her hand to Xixue, let Xixue step back, and then said to the air in front, "You've been following for so long, come out."

As soon as the words fell, five or six men in black masks appeared in the narrow alley.

Looking at these masked men, Xixue was terrified, but in comparison, Yun Qiyue was very calm.

Because her keen senses had let her know that someone was following her when she left the First Pavilion, she just pretended not to know.

"You are assassins." Yun Qiyue said with a certain tone, because those few people opposite radiated the bloody aura unique to assassins, "Who sent you?"

Naturally, the assassins couldn't answer Yun Qiyue's question, but Yun Qiyue already had the answer in her heart.

The original owner was foolish; although she was envied, it wasn't enough for someone to specifically send assassins to deal with her.

Therefore, these assassins must be targeting her after she recovered.

Although she had just arrived, she had offended quite a few people.

Tang Sixian and Wang Rushi were the ones she had just offended, but judging from the time, they should be excluded from suspicion; after all, finding assassins wasn't like finding Chinese cabbage, how could they find them just by saying so?

Moreover, according to the conflict between them, sending the family's guards would be enough; there was no need to use assassins.

Therefore, according to the elimination method, the ones with the greatest suspicion were the people from the first and third branches of the Hou Mansion.

As for whether there would be a misjudgment?

Don't say it's impossible, even if it were possible, so what?

Since she felt that these assassins were sent by the Yun family, then they must be sent by the Yun family, so after solving these people, she would inevitably give the Hou Mansion a profound lesson.

Thinking of this, taking advantage of the fact that the assassins hadn't reacted yet, Yun Qiyue quickly attacked the assassins.

The few assassins were not vegetarians; how could they let Yun Qiyue succeed?

When Yun Qiyue attacked, the few assassins had already launched an attack on Yun Qiyue at the fastest speed.

It was just that this alley was too narrow, at most it could only accommodate two assassins side by side, and it was difficult to unfold, which actually benefited Yun Qiyue.

The assassins were not weak, but they were not good at close-quarters combat.

Yun Qiyue said it was one against six, but in fact, it was one against two, plus Yun Qiyue had taken the Body Tempering Pill, so her speed was even faster, combined with the combat experience of her previous life, holding a scalpel, she actually quickly made two assassins fall to the ground.

Seeing this, the other assassins' killing intent rose.

Looking at each other, two assassins stepped on the walls on both sides and flew behind Yun Qiyue.

Yun Qiyue seemed unaware and continued to attack the two assassins in front.

Seeing the two assassins behind Yun Qiyue about to attack Yun Qiyue, Xixue was immediately anxious, "Young Mistress, be careful!"

This shout not only distracted Yun Qiyue, but also distracted the assassins.

Yun Qiyue's figure was like a loach, sliding past the attack of the assassin in front, and then inserted a knife into one person's neck.

Fresh blood sprayed out, but Yun Qiyue avoided the 'baptism' of that blood, her face was still clean, it was just that her body inevitably got bloodstains on it.

At the same time, the two assassins behind Yun Qiyue raised their knives and slashed at Yun Qiyue.

Yun Qiyue felt it, but didn't distract herself to deal with those two behind her, her target was still aimed at the only remaining assassin in front, her eyes cold and ruthless.

That assassin naturally also saw the scene behind Yun Qiyue, only feeling that Yun Qiyue would definitely die, so he didn't move, waiting for Yun Qiyue to die.

But the next moment, the assassin's eyes suddenly widened, his face full of disbelief and horror.

However, it was already too late; the scalpel in Yun Qiyue's hand had already fallen on his neck.

A stinging pain came, and the assassin in front of Yun Qiyue fell to the ground; until he died, he hadn't figured out why the one who died was himself.

Yun Qiyue held the dripping scalpel, turned around, and looked coldly at the two assassins who were preparing to attack her from behind.

These two were already dead; one could tell from the dark blue skin exposed outside the black cloth that they died from poison.

After leaving the First Pavilion, since Yun Qiyue knew someone was following her, how could she not have been prepared early?

So when she went to the pharmacy, she took advantage of the time she went to the toilet to prepare a poison—Five-Step Powder.

Five-Step Powder didn't need to be ingested, nor did it need to touch the body; as long as a person breathed, they would be hit.

Taking advantage of the two assassins jumping over the wall, she sprinkled the medicinal powder towards the two of them.

The time from inhalation to the poison taking effect of the Five-Step Powder was very short, so she didn't rush to deal with those two, but thought about making a quick decision on the remaining one.

Xixue was stunned for a while, then ran over with a worried face, looking Yun Qiyue up and down.

Seeing that Yun Qiyue was fine, Xixue looked at Yun Qiyue with a crying expression, "Young Mistress, you really scared this servant to death."

If she had known she would encounter such danger, she shouldn't have swapped with Qing Yan; letting Qing Yan protect the young mistress would have been better than her coming.

Yun Qiyue looked at Xixue's red nose and eyes, put away the ruthlessness on her body, and said faintly, "It's getting late, let's go back first."

Yun Qiyue and Xixue quickly left the alley, but they didn't know that after they left, a person appeared beside the corpses in the alley... ===== CHAPTER 38 =====
