After being reborn, I became the apple of my enemy's eye.

Chapter 114 Haunted House South Courtyard

After she finished speaking, she walked inside, and her figure disappeared into the night.

Yan Yun was a little worried. She looked at the attendant who had come with her and nudged him. He understood what Yan Yun meant and immediately followed Qing'er into Nan Yun Jing's courtyard.

Just as they entered, a sharp scream suddenly came from the courtyard, and it was a woman's voice.

Yan Yun immediately ran inside, followed by his entourage.

"Miss."

Everyone was caught off guard, and because they were afraid something might happen to Yan Yun, they followed closely behind him.

Yan Yun had only taken a few steps forward when she felt something was wrong with what she was stepping on. She looked down, realized what was happening, and jumped forward.

Those who followed her were not so quick to react; they stepped into thin air and fell directly into the large hole beneath their feet.

A black hole that suddenly appears, a follower that suddenly disappears.

Yan Yun immediately squatted down. She looked at the bottomless black hole and could only hear the sound of water coming from below.

Yan Yun found it strange that there was a trap at the gate.

The servant immediately looked at Yan Yun, "Miss, it's dangerous here. You can't go in from here."

Looking at the trap, Yan Yun thought of the traps he had set before, which were completely different from his own.

At this height, if there were sharp knives or pointed bamboo spikes inside, anyone falling would die instantly.

The bottom is filled with water; those people will not be in mortal danger.

Those who hadn't fallen immediately called out to those below, "Are you still alive?"

Those below responded that they were still alive; their response was heard.

Yan Yun also confirmed once again that these traps would not be fatal.

She looked out into the dark courtyard.

Judging from the screams just now, it must have been Qing'er; Qing'er had also been ambushed.

Could it be because of this that Ru Qing and Xiao Tuanzi haven't gone back yet?

But these things weren't available when I came last time.

Yan Yun felt increasingly uneasy.

She stood up and looked at the door just a step away. She was still preparing to move forward.

The servants nearby immediately spoke up to stop her, "Miss, you can't go. If anything happens to you, we can't bear the responsibility."

They came in groups of dozens, but in the blink of an eye, only four remained. This was too dangerous.

Yan Yun wanted to go inside and take another look, so she began to carefully observe what was in front of her. Unfortunately, because of the darkness, she couldn't see anything clearly around her.

She could only take steps.

The attendants saw that Yan Yun wanted to continue forward, and they couldn't let Yan Yun continue walking in front.

"Miss, please come to the back of us so we can clear the way."

The attendants also tried to dissuade her, saying, "Miss, it would be safer to come during the day tomorrow."

Yan Yun, however, did not listen to them.

She recalled the path the little dumpling had led her along, and slowly walked forward, while her attendants naturally shared their worries.

Worried that there might be someone hiding in the shadows, he spoke up into the darkness, "We're here to find someone and have no intention of offending anyone. Please do us a favor." Yan Yun listened to his words without having a chance to ask any questions.

She saw light coming from the house ahead, so she figured there must be someone there.

Yan Yun prepared to step forward.

The attendant immediately instructed someone close to Yan Yun to check, and if anyone was found, to inform the young lady immediately.

You should also tell them that you meant no harm.

One of the people around you will be separated from you.

He stepped forward and knocked on the door. It was as if someone inside opened the door, and the lights in the room went out immediately. The person who had been standing at the door disappeared instantly.

This eerie scene alerted the attendants to the danger.

Yan Yun immediately followed.

Just as they pushed open the door to look for the person who had just disappeared, they found the room empty, as if no one was there.

Before they could even process what had happened, another woman's cry came from nearby.

Yan Yun turned around and looked in the direction from which the sound came from, and immediately ran over there.

The attendants following behind could only follow closely behind.

He gripped his sword tightly, ready to strike at any moment.

Just as Yan Yun stepped into another place, the person who had been hiding nearby appeared and rushed towards him.

The other party didn't care who the person in front of him was, and raised the long knife in his hand, ready to cut down on Yan Yun.

Yan Yun could sense someone approaching. The courtyard, which had been empty just moments before, now held a murderous intent.

The attendant beside him grabbed Yan Yun and pulled him away. The sword in his hand clashed with the other man's sword with a loud clang.

Yan Yun could clearly hear the sound of weapons.

That's how we started.

The other party clearly had ill intentions, so he dealt with them ruthlessly.

Fortunately, Yan Yun was protected by two other people. One of them engaged the other person in a fight, while the other rushed forward to help deal with the person who suddenly appeared.

Fortunately, there was only one person on the other end.

Yan Yun's entourage was also more skilled than ordinary people.

The opponent was immediately defeated.

Is this also a trap?

Yan Yun was still puzzled by what had happened.

A person carrying a lantern slowly walked over from not far away.

And he got closer and closer.

The attendants protecting Yan Yun became increasingly nervous.

Because he could tell from the man's footsteps that he was a trained martial artist.

If they are that person's accomplices, what should they do to protect the young lady?

Nan Yunjing's voice sounded especially warm and familiar in the night.

"I never expected so many guests to come to my dilapidated courtyard."

Yan Yun immediately pressed down on his attendant's hand, signaling him not to attack the newcomer.

Meanwhile, the other two attendants pinned the person who was hiding in the shadows to the ground.

Nan Yunjing gradually drew closer.

Yan Yun also saw his face.

The attendant beside Yan Yun was not a brute; he spoke up for Yan Yun.

“Young master, we are not thieves, and we did not enter your courtyard with any ill intentions.”

Nan Yunjing did not respond to him.

He walked up to the person being suppressed, carrying a lantern. He raised the lantern and ripped off the black cloth covering the person's face, revealing the face clearly. He asked coldly, "Then which side are you on?"

Yan Yun had initially thought it was a guard hiding in the courtyard, but now, upon hearing Nan Yunjing's words...

That person wasn't from the courtyard, so why did they attack me?

The man lowered his head and stammered, "I went into the wrong courtyard."

Nan Yunjing countered, "Oh? Dressed in black? And carrying a knife, did you wander into the wrong courtyard?"

He looked at Yan Yun.

"Hand this man over to me, and your intrusion will be considered closed."

Yan Yun agreed.

Yan Yun nodded.

Nan Yunjing drew his sword immediately, his movements so fast they were almost invisible.

The man bound by the system let out a scream.

"Let him go."

The attendants were somewhat uneasy.

“Young master, if you let go, he will run away.”

"He can't escape."

Yan Yun's attendants looked at the person being held down; blood was constantly flowing from his hands and feet.

For an instant.

He then injured the other person's hands and feet.

Yan Yun's attendants stepped aside and returned to Yan Yun's side.

"Miss."

Nan Yunjing looked at Yan Yun, "Why have you barged into my yard again?"

The servants explained that they were looking for someone, and because the maid hadn't returned after going in, they had barged in.

Nan Yunjing looked towards the inner courtyard.

"Since you're looking for someone, then follow me and don't wander off again."

Nan Yunjing moved the lantern away, preventing Yan Yun from seeing the appearance of the person on the ground.

The attendant, somewhat uneasy, asked aloud.

"Young master, what about this person?"

He can't escape.

Nan Yunjing's tone was firm, and his attendants said no more.

Yan Yun followed Nan Yunjing into the courtyard. The courtyard was eerie at night, and Yan Yun would not have dared to come in if he hadn't been with other people.

Nan Yunjing led Yan Yun to the middle and pushed open one of the doors.

Qing'er's voice immediately came from inside the room.

"Miss!"

Upon hearing the sound, Yan Yun looked into the room from beside Nan Yun Jing, but did not see Qing'er.

"Miss, I'm upstairs."

Yan Yun immediately looked up.

Qing'er and her entourage were suspended in mid-air by a net.

The attendant immediately stepped forward.

Nan Yunjing drew his sword and slashed through the net with a single stroke.

Qing'er and her attendant immediately fell to the ground. Yan Yun reached out to catch Qing'er, but Nan Yunjing pushed him away.

Qing'er fell heavily onto her attendant, which prevented her from getting hurt.

She got up from the ground and immediately returned to Yan Yun's side. She had clearly made those promises with great conviction, but she hadn't done anything about it.

"Miss, we haven't found them, and we've made you worry."

Yan Yun didn't think this was important.

As long as everyone is safe and sound.

She waved her hand, not caring.

Nan Yunjing told Yan Yun that those who fell into the second trap would return through other exits by daytime the next day.

"As for you, you may leave now."

Qing'er knelt down before Nan Yunjing, "Young Master, our young lady is here to find someone. Please allow her to see her."

When Yan Yun saw Qing'er kneel down, he immediately reached out to help her up. This was not a matter that required kneeling to beg for mercy.

Nan Yunjing saw her actions clearly. "It's just for a girl, why take it so seriously? You take this girl and follow me."

The attendants must also follow.

Nan Yunjing warned them, "Can't you hear what I'm saying?"

The attendants naturally disregarded Nan Yunjing's instructions; their job was to protect the young lady.

Yan Yun didn't want to waste any more time and looked at Qing'er.

Qing'er conveyed this message to them.

"I, I will protect you, Miss. You just wait for us here."

"Miss, no."
