Chapter 423: Snow on the Desk of the Infatuated Alliance Leader (24)
"Valley Master, are you okay?"
The disciples of Baicao Valley and Mu Nan struggled to lift the carriage. Fortunately, the carriage was still sturdy and there was enough safe space even if it collapsed.
Jing Hanyue and Mu Yan'er were sitting in the middle, and they looked fine.
"It's okay. Come and lift this board."
Jing Hanyue frowned. Her legs were pinned by the wooden board and she couldn't stand up. Mu Yan'er had no strength at all and could only move the board little by little beside Jing Hanyue.
"Yes, Valley Master."
The disciples of Baicao Valley hurried forward and lifted the wooden board with force. Jing Hanyue dragged his legs and quickly pulled it out.
The Baicao Valley disciples were full of worry: "Valley Master, is your leg injured?"
Jing Hanyue pinched her leg joints a few times.
"No problem."
The disciples of Baicao Valley breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's good……"
Those people were so focused on the assassin who suddenly appeared that no one even remembered that the Valley Master was still in the carriage. It was really too much!
Mu Nan, who was standing next to her, suddenly knelt down in front of Mu Yan'er.
The Baicao Valley disciples asked in surprise: "Mu Nan?"
Mu Yan'er was originally looking at Jing Hanyue's legs worriedly, and looked up when she heard the voice.
When their eyes met, Mu Yan'er saw the person in front of her, her pupils suddenly dilated, and her eyes were full of disbelief, as if she couldn't believe that the person in front of her was real.
Mu Nan's eyes were red, his lips were trembling violently, and he spoke excitedly: "Ah..."
Mu Yan'er suddenly held his hand and shook her head gently, signaling him not to say anything.
"..."Mu Nan understood what his sister meant and clenched his hands suddenly.
He held back his tears, held his breath, and made no sound. Instead, he carefully reached out and helped Mu Yan'er up, his movements so gentle as if he was afraid of breaking a rare treasure.
Just then, a voice sounded from behind Mu Nan.
"Yan'er, Valley Master, are you all right?"
Mu Yan'er's body trembled, her face turned pale as paper, and she took a step back.
"..."
Jing Hanyue supported herself on her legs and stood up, saying sarcastically, "Master Jiang's concern really comes at the right time."
"I'm sorry, an ignorant assassin just came and I didn't pay attention to this side. Please forgive me, Master Hanyue."
Jiang Yide looked guilty, and while he spoke, he would occasionally glance at Mu Yan'er behind Jing Hanyue, his eyes full of concern and anxiety.
"assassin?"
"Exactly."
Jing Hanyue sneered: "It turns out that there are other people who can't stand your behavior."
Jiang Yide said righteously: "No one is perfect, and I don't think I can satisfy everyone either. I can only try my best to do my best."
"..."
Jing Hanyue looked unhappy.
This series of events makes people wonder whether it is really an accident.
But no matter how much she suspected, there was no evidence.
Jiang Yide glanced at Jing Hanyue's legs and said, "Valley Master Hanyue's legs don't seem to be feeling well. Do you want to take a rest?"
Jing Hanyue refused coldly: "No need."
Jiang Yide was about to say something but was interrupted by a voice.
"The owner of the village."
"..." Jiang Yide frowned and looked at Bai Chao.
"Why are you still here?"
Bai Chao said solemnly: "You seniors are more skilled than me in martial arts, and you will definitely be able to capture this little thief in an instant. We have to prioritize things, so I will naturally stay to protect the safety of the manor owner."
Jiang Yide: “…”
Bai Chao asked again without knowing the current situation: "Master, should we continue this sword fighting competition?"
Jiang Yide's eyes darkened.
Holding the sword-fighting competition was just a superficial effort, but its real meaning was to allow him to become the leader of the martial arts world in the sword-fighting competition.
But now due to unexpected changes, he is temporarily unable to be the leader of the martial arts world.
Then what's the point of continuing this sword fighting competition? !
Jiang Yide glared at Bai Chao. How could this kid be so confused and clever at times? He was indeed so stupid that he could never achieve anything great!
Bai Chao seemed confused and looked at Jiang Yide waiting for instructions.
There were other people around, so Jiang Yide naturally couldn't reveal his thoughts.
"All the distinguished guests have been exhausted today. They probably don't have the energy to participate in the sword fighting competition. Please remember to prepare good tea and water and don't neglect the guests."
"Yes, owner."
At this time, the group of people who had chased after them had returned.
They all looked uncomfortable, and there was no thief tied up nearby, so it was obvious that they had returned empty-handed.
The person in front fell in front of Jiang Yide with a look of shame on his face.
"Master Jiang, I am truly ashamed... We actually let the assassin escape."
At that time, we could still find the trace, and when we chased him, the assassin's figure disappeared behind a dense bush.
When everyone rushed to the bushes to check, they only saw broken branches and messy footprints on the ground. The footprints were of varying depths. It was obvious that the other party was deliberately misleading the tracking route.
When they were about to split up and chase after him, dozens of cold arrows appeared out of nowhere and stopped them in their tracks. When they tried to chase after him again, there was no trace of him. The assassin had already run far away. It would be a futile effort to continue chasing him.
An old man said solemnly, "This thief has accomplices to help him. I'm afraid he has bad intentions and may harm the villa."
Others echoed: "Yes, we are willing to stay in the villa for a few more days to protect the safety of the owner."
Jiang Yide was touched: "Jiang welcomes you to stay for a few more days, but you don't have to worry about the assassin. Jiang will definitely take extra precautions."
"Master Jiang, you are too polite."
"..."
On the forest path, Jing Hengzhou shuttled between the shadows of the trees, his body as agile as a black panther in the forest.
Suddenly, he stopped and turned around, looking at a big tree on the right.
"Senior, you have followed me all the way. I wonder how long you will continue to follow me?"
After a while, a graceful figure slowly emerged from behind the big tree.
Jing Hengzhou was stunned.
"……It's you?"
