Chapter 1518: Bai Yan’s Malice (Part 4)
It is night.
The moonlight is like water, gently rippling in the night sky.
In the courtyard, the night breeze brushed through the leaves, creating a rustling sound, gradually adding a touch of unrest to the silent night.
Suddenly, Mu Ruyue, lying in bed, opened her eyes, a sharp gleam flashing through her pupils. Then, with a swish, countless flying swords sliced through the window, falling towards Mu Ruyue at lightning speed.
Mu Ruyue didn’t speak. Flames ignited fiercely on her body, causing those flying swords to turn to ash before they even reached her...
Soon, silhouettes in white burst through the window, standing in front of Mu Ruyue.
"Who are you?"
Mu Ruyue slightly frowned, asking calmly.
She had only one enemy in the Imperial City, which was Sun Yao, the Great Commander.
But she believed that Sun Yao, who knew her and Huanghui’s abilities, would not send such insects to assassinate her.
So, these people definitely weren’t Sun Yao’s men.
"Humph."
The leading woman in white snorted coldly but did not answer Mu Ruyue’s question. She raised her longsword, striking towards Mu Ruyue’s face like lightning.
Her intention was not to take a life but to ruin that country-toppling beautiful face.
Therefore, Mu Ruyue was more certain that they were not Sun Yao’s subordinates.
If so, then there was only one person...
Suddenly, a face flashed through Mu Ruyue’s mind.
Although she didn’t know what hatred that woman held against her, she wasn’t someone who could be easily ambushed...
As if anticipating the sword in her hand about to fall on Mu Ruyue’s face, Ning Yue’s lips curled into a cold smile. No one could see her movements clearly, and all they saw was a flash of white light, and she stood in front of Mu Ruyue.
At this moment, no one could believe that Mu Ruyue could dodge this move, after all, Ning Yue was the most powerful maid beside the young lady, even some royal geniuses couldn’t compare to her.
How could this woman possibly avoid Ning Yue’s attack?
Look, she seemed scared stiff, not daring to move at all, as if stunned...
But soon, Ning Yue’s expression changed.
Her sword reached Mu Ruyue’s face, yet it couldn’t advance at all, as if an invisible shield was erected in front of the opponent, blocking her sword.
Just a little bit more...
Ning Yue exerted force with her palm, but still couldn’t move it an inch, cold sweat gradually appeared on her forehead. She raised her beautiful face in shock, suddenly meeting those eyes that seemed to be smiling...
"What?"
Mu Ruyue smiled faintly, "I’m standing here for you to kill, why didn’t you kill me?"
This scene, only Ning Yue knew.
Therefore, the others behind exchanged glances, utterly clueless about what Ning Yue was up to.
"Ning Yue, why aren’t you acting? Don’t forget the master’s order, could it be that you’re softhearted towards the enemy?"
"Exactly, Ning Yue, quickly ruin this woman’s face, so we can report back to the master."
Hearing the impatient voices, Ning Yue truly felt she had bitterness she couldn’t express.
Should she admit she couldn’t even approach the opponent’s body?
If she could do this, it indicated that this woman’s strength was far greater than hers.
Even if she could contact her, her sword would probably only act as a tickling tool.
It seems the young lady underestimated this woman...
