Chapter 2735: Chapter 2735: Chai Shu (Part 1)
"Stop." Then, quite a few people quickly caught up from behind, each carrying weapons, shouting as they chased.
Gu Qingheng protected Yang Ruxin, diverting to a side.
Chai Qin stood there stunned, taking a while to react and then immediately chased after them without greeting Gu Qingheng and Yang Ruxin.
Gu Qingheng frowned tightly and gestured to Gu Qiao.
Gu Qiao followed and gave chase.
Yang Ruxin glanced at Gu Qingheng: "Do you know them?"
"Somewhat familiar." Gu Qingheng nodded slightly.
"Then let’s go have a look."
Gu Qingheng glanced at Yang Ruxin, then pulled her along and chased after them.
The one escaping was a girl, seemingly running with all her might. However, after passing through the bustling night market, the location became more and more remote, until she finally reached the riverside and had nowhere left to escape.
"You damn girl, keep running, why don’t you!" The small leader of the pursuers had a fierce expression.
The girl had long hair hanging loose, though she didn’t speak, her eyes were extremely stubborn.
"Take her back." The small leader waved a hand; he’d almost made a big mistake today but fortunately didn’t let her escape.
However, the girl suddenly pulled out a hairpin from her bosom, brandishing it as her long hair flew, revealing a delicate face, though her lips were black, clearly a sign of poisoning.
But those men weren’t afraid of her brandishing since the girl’s inner strength had long been destroyed.
Helplessly, the girl placed the hairpin against her neck.
The men immediately stopped in their tracks.
A subtle smile curled at the girl’s lips—without speaking, her eyes conveyed to them that if they dared approach, she’d die right before them.
The pursuers exchanged glances and showed troubled expressions; the girl’s life wasn’t important, but her blood was needed by their master, and they dared not let her truly pierce it down.
Without this person’s blood, they were all doomed.
The standoff persisted.
After a long time, the small leader spoke again: "Why are you doing this? You know you can’t escape. Even if you don’t return, you’ll still end up dead. You might as well go back; if the master is pleased, maybe you’ll live."
Meanwhile, someone else began to sneak around, attempting to launch a surprise attack from the side.
The girl seemed to notice their ploy, and the hairpin pierced her neck slightly, breaking the surface of the skin, causing light purple blood to flow out, even emitting a faint glow, especially conspicuous at night.
"Chai Shu?" Chai Qin had already caught up, involuntarily calling out.
The girl paused and then focused her gaze on Chai Qin’s face, her eyes suddenly brightened, and tears began to fall.
Seeing someone had come, the pursuers couldn’t care about much else, and rushed to capture, while Chai Qin and Gu Qiao had already engaged in combat.
Gu Qingheng, with Yang Ruxin, also rushed over; Yang Ruxin sniffed a bit, then looked at the girl standing by the river. Although the wound on her neck no longer bled, the traces of blood still remained, shining with a strange purple light in the night, causing her to gasp—this girl had been used as an herbalist.
Although the pursuers were numerous, their skills couldn’t compare to Chai Qin and Gu Qiao, so they quickly fell.
