Ever since she was young, her master had told her that practicing martial arts was not for killing, but for self-defense. Over the years at Miaofeng Temple, she had developed a nature of being kind to all living things. Tonight was going to be the first time she would purposefully use force. She only hoped that she wouldn't need to see a bloody light. Xue Fu gazed at the set of night clothes that Liu Li had specially prepared for her. Without any hesitation, he changed into it and wrapped himself tightly. If one did not look carefully, no one would be able to recognize that she was a girl.

"Last night, we had a fight with an assassin. The palace guards will definitely be even stricter. You have to be careful when you go out, okay?" Xue Fu tidied up the clothes on his body and warned Liu Li.

"I know, miss, you've said it many times." Liu Li, who was similarly dressed in a night attire, rolled her eyes and said. Xue Fu did not want her to go, but she was worried about her young miss, and insisted on following her.

Xue Fu tied up the belt on his clothes and turned it in a circle in front of Liu Li, staring at her with concern and asked: "How is it?"

Liu Li tilted her head and looked at it for a long time before nodding with a smile. "If Young Miss had been born a man, she would definitely be handsome and handsome. She would be gentle and refined, just that her body would appear slightly more simple." The Xue Fu in front of him was dressed in black, and only his two black eyes were revealed. After dressing up like this, her tall and slender body actually somewhat resembled a man's.

"Naughty, hurry up and leave." Xue Fu shot her a glance before he turned and walked towards the window of the Cabinet. It was quiet outside the window. This kind of autumn night was very suitable for moving around outside, Xue Fu and Liu Li lowered their bodies and continued to walk deeper into the Pear Garden. During the day, Xue Fu had already found a way out and prepared for tonight's events, so she didn't need to waste time searching for a way out.

The depths of the Pear Blossom was on the right side of the imperial harem. Although the guards were tight at this time, they all appeared to be extremely sleepy, lacking the vigilance they had when night fell. Afraid that they would disturb even more guards, Xue Fu blew on the medicinal powder he had prepared, causing it to dissipate into the air under the gentle caress of the night breeze. Soon after, he saw all the guards falling towards the corners of the walls.

"Hurry up and leave." Xue Fu turned around and said to Liu Li, then took the lead to leap up the Pear Tree, borrowing the force of the impact to flip over the palace walls. It was as light as a swallow returning to the south, gently landing outside the palace walls.

After leaving the palace, Xue Fu and Liu Li headed straight for the Bai Residence, thinking that Bai Yining would definitely return to the Bai Clan to seek help when he had nowhere else to go. But he didn't expect to miss a chance. Standing under the courtyard wall outside the house, Xue Fu momentarily had no idea what to do. She didn't know where Bai Yining would go, or where else would she be worth going to.

If there was, then there was only wonder left. It was a wonder of the heavens! Thinking about that person, Xue Fu immediately flew and headed towards his home. Liu Li quickly followed and whispered, "Miss, where are you going? "Wait for me."

"If you can't run, then go back to the palace to rest." Xue Fu turned back and shot her a glance, and sped up his pace. His agile body sped under the eaves. Although it was very light, it still woke up the crows that had stayed on the roof for the night. They flapped their wings and rushed towards the sky. As for the old man, he stopped talking and looked up at the sky. His jaw almost dropped out of his mouth, as if he had seen a ghost at night and was running towards home in fright.

Xue Fu had yet to reach his home, but he already saw a group of Sword Constable rushing frantically towards the outskirts of the city. The leader shouted to everyone as he ran: "Quick, that woman will definitely not be far, chase after her!" The cold and fierce voice echoed in the night, shocking Xue Fu, causing him to lose his composure. He stood stiffly in the corner, watching the group of people quickly disappear before his eyes.

"Miss, they couldn't be chasing after Eldest Miss, right?" Liu Li stood behind her and asked cautiously, while looking in the direction where the team of people disappeared. As for the direction in which the crowd disappeared in, apart from the wisps of smoke left behind by the torches, there was no trace of anyone else.

"Maybe. Let's go." Xue Fu's words were still in his mouth, but he had already quickly chased after the constables. She knew that Yue Ye would definitely send a large group of people to hunt Bai Yining down, because she knew that man had always been very strong.

As they had been walking far away, Xue Fu and Liu Li quickly caught up to the figures of the constables. She heard the leader shout, "Then Miss Bai, let's split into two teams, one team will go along the road, and the other team will go up the mountain to search, we have to find them before tonight, if not we will all die, understand?

"Understood!" The group of mental guards also responded quickly. They immediately rushed in two different directions.

Xue Fu's heart sank, she did not know which direction Bai Yining would go. In this moment of danger, no one would leave the city gate, after hesitating for a moment, she decided to go up the mountain, maybe Bai Yining hid in the shadows?

Because Xue Fu had grown up in Teng Prefecture for a long time, she was not familiar with the topography of the place she was born in. The scattered constables were gone, and she could only follow the pine hills.

At night, the mountain city seemed to be covered with a black carpet that spread out endlessly. Sparse moonlight spread out from the tall pine trees, forming dark yellow fragments at his feet. The occasional roar of the beasts made the tranquil mountain appear even more eerie and scary. The mountain road beneath his feet was long and small, like a dark silk cloth coiled around the pitch black forest, and in the place where his shadow moved, the figures of Xue Fu and Liu Li were rapidly shuttling back and forth.

"Miss, we can't run anymore. The cliff wall is just in front of us." Liu Li hurriedly stopped them. Because of the steep mountain roads, there was almost no one who walked on normal days. A little deeper into the forest was a cliff, and the road was even more uneven. If one was not careful, it was very possible that one would fall into the abyss and die in the valley.

Hearing this, Xue Fu had no choice but to stop in his tracks. Helplessly, he looked into the depths of the mountain forest, not knowing if there was anyone that had arrived before him. Lowering his head, he found traces of broken wood on both sides of the path. It had just been broken not long ago, so he took a closer look at the road beneath his feet, where footprints of various sizes could be faintly seen. This discovery made Xue Fu make up his mind, and he quickened his pace.

Liu Li panicked and yelled at her back, "Hey, Miss, we really can't go to the front. It's dangerous!"

"Elder sister must be right in front!" Xue Fu wiped away the tears mist that had leaked out of his eyes due to his anxiety. If Bai Yining was really right in front of him, it was very likely that he had already died in the canyon. If it wasn't for her not being able to figure it out, why would she run into the mountains and forests in the middle of the night?

Just as she was feeling anxious, a commotion broke out in the quiet forest. A few fat crows flew up from the branches, obviously due to the shock. Before Xue Fu could react, Liu Li cried out in alarm from behind him, "Miss, listen, there's a group of people moving ahead!"

Xue Fu stopped to listen, and sure enough, a few faint male voices came from in front of him, and more birds flapped their wings in fright as they flew past the mountain. The few male voices became more and more obvious, "Miss Bai, please stay nearby and search for her!"

Xue Fu didn't know what to do, and could only go around to the side and leap towards the side of the cliff. Using the force of his feet on the rocks, he jumped up to the top of the pine tree, and then used his height to survey the cliffs beneath his feet. After looking around, he finally saw a person's shadow beside a huge rock. That person was leaning against the rock without moving. It was obvious that he had already lost all sense of the outside world. Although the moon was dim, she could still recognize Bai Yining at a glance.

His heart suddenly trembled, Xue Fu's swallow like figure quickly flew towards that figure. Behind him, Liu Li was both surprised and happy, as she said softly: "It really is the grand miss, and she is still breathing."

Looking at the person in front of him who was covered in wounds, who was still sleeping, Xue Fu's heart felt as if it had been slashed by a steel knife. Her trembling hands gently caressed Bai Yining's face which was covered by her veil. The wounds on her face were already scabbed, but they were still as ugly as before. Her purple dress was stained with a few spots of blood, and she miserably collapsed in the middle of the forest, like a humiliated hibiscus flower that had been abandoned in the wilderness. Both of his hands moved down slightly as Xue Fu carried her from the boulder into the crook of his arm and shook her gently.

"Sis, what's wrong?" Tears of pain fell on Bai Yining's body and onto the wound on her arm. Perhaps it was because she was in pain, her brows furrowed slightly and her weak body shrank instinctively.

Liu Li quickly pulled off some shreds of cloth from Bai Yining's body to help bandage the wound that had been left on his body by the thorny branch and the stone. Seeing that she had some sort of reaction, Xue Fu was both surprised and happy. He increased the shaking of his hands and tried his best to lower his voice to call out, "Sis, wake up, don't sleep anymore. I'm Xue Fu, Xue Fu …"

Bai Yining who was in extreme pain could not bear her shaking any longer, and struggled to move his eyelids to open his eyes. When he opened his eyes, he was shocked by the appearance of the black-clothed man, and almost screamed out. Luckily Xue Fu's hands were quick enough, he covered her mouth and said anxiously: "Sister, it's me, Xue Fu …"

Bai Yining was startled, she stared in shock at the black clothed man who only revealed a pair of beautiful eyes, not daring to believe him, she muttered stupidly: "Xue Fu? You are Xue Fu … Xue Fu...? "

"Yes, it's me …" Xue Fu nodded excitedly, and looked at her again with a pained expression: "Sis, why are you on this mountain field? Why did you make yourself look like this? " Her tears finally condensed into two transparent water droplets, shining with a golden light under the moonlight. With a slight movement, the water droplets fell on Bai Yining's purple colored clothes, burning through her skin.

The surprise in Bai Yining's eyes was no longer there. What replaced it was a pained melancholy, and a trace of dejection flowed out from her mouth. "I have endured all the humiliation, and I have been waiting for an image because I had something to look forward to," he murmured. Tianxiong will one day suddenly appear in front of me, brave to take my hand. "It's just that all of this waiting is a mistake. This idea of deceiving himself will never again be looked at by the heavens …"

She raised her plaintive eyes, the moonlight shining on her dimmed even more, as she looked towards the sky through Xue Fu's shoulder hole and understood what was going on. Once, he had said that his heart was like that bright moon, standing by her window night and night, waiting for her to walk out of the pavilion and become his wife. But now, the moon was still bright, and the oath was like a kite with its string cut, never to be seen again!
