Yang Ruxin had originally intended to capture soone alive, but the remaining black-clad assailants bit their poison capsules and died, blood flowing from all seven orifices.
"May I ask..."
Just as Yang Ruxin began to speak, she saw soone leap down from the rooftop and approach her: "Miss Yang, are you all okay?"
The people around them lifted torches, illuminating the whole courtyard as if it were daylight.
"Young Master Fa, why is it you?" Yang Ruxin was very surprised.
"These are all people from Wa Country." Fa Qingyang pointed to the black-clad corpses on the ground, "The woman earlier who used the Bewitching Technique was also from Wa Country..."
Yang Ruxin seed to understand: "The Sun Cult?"
Fa Qingyang nodded: "I received news before that Wa Country had once again sent people to infiltrate our nation, their purpose unclear. I’ve had people watching all along, and I also reached out to the Xiu and Xie Families. The information we got indicated that their main target is likely you..."
"That’s expected." Yang Ruxin nodded, "After all, I did ruin their plans."
"We sent soone to deliver a ssage to you, but we were told you weren’t there. Unexpectedly, we ended up encountering you here. After the incident at the inn, I knew sothing was sure to happen tonight..."
Yang Ruxin nodded: "It seems they have already chosen a new Saintess..."
"If they fail this ti, they definitely won’t let it go. So, you really need to be careful." Fa Qingyang was genuinely worried.
"I will be." Yang Ruxin smiled.
Fa Qingyang then said no more, ordering his n to dispose of the bodies—twenty-one in total. The people from Longyun Mountain, although none died, seven or eight were seriously injured, and another seven or eight sustained minor injuries.
Du Juan, Du Man, and Gao Dazhuang were among those who suffered superficial wounds.
After dealing with the injured, it was already daybreak.
"We’re missing soone." Yang Ruxin suddenly frowned, "What happened to the caretaker of this house?"
Only then did everyone rember the old man.
"Search!" Fa Qingyang imdiately issued the command.
"Xiaobai." Yang Ruxin also gave orders to Xiaobai.
Xiaobai first ran to the west wing where the old man lived and ca back with a set of clothes after a quick search—it was exactly the old man’s, and there was even a sewn cloth bag on the back, which ant it was all staged.
Despite searching all around, they couldn’t find the man. Xiaobai, though adept at sniffing, couldn’t preserve the scent due to the rain, and therefore returned empty-handed in the end.
"Since they want to kill , they will show up again." Yang Ruxin didn’t care, "I don’t think it will be a long wait."
Fa Qingyang looked at Yang Ruxin, wanting to say sothing, but in the end, he offered to send soone to escort them.
This ti, Yang Ruxin did not refuse.
After a simple al the next day, everyone hit the road again, now escorted by over a dozen mounted guards.
The rest of the journey was peaceful, and they soon entered Changhuai State.
When they reached Baihua County, the people from Longyun Mountain took their leave.
Looking at the familiar county town, Yang Ruxin took a deep breath, finally back ho.
At the Fang Family’s residence.
Hearing of Yang Ruxin’s return, Yuan ngzhu personally ran out to greet her: "My child, you’ve finally co back..."
"Godmother." Yang Ruxin attempted to perform a formal greeting but was embraced tightly by the other party, "We’ve been worried sick these past few days. You girl, why are you so daring?"
