Avenge For Love novel Chapter 59

Yuyan was even more shock as she stared at the arrow attached on the wall.

"Eldest Miss, are you alright? If it weren't for you, I would have died. I don't care if you're 16 or 21, all I know is you're you!" Yuyan exclaimed. She was already at a point where she would do anything for her, why would it matter if she wasn't the same?

"Assassins..." Wu Xingxie heard footsteps from outside, becoming alert.

She pulled Yuyan by her side, looking around.

With her Qi, she scanned the surroundings rapidly.

"There are four of them." Wu Xingxie felt a sense of deja vu. She was nearly killed by assassins five years from now, and now there were assassins once again after her. She didn't know who would send them nor was she interested in what their motives were.

There was one thing for sure.

She wasn't dying!

"Wait here, don't leave the room until I tell you." She whispered to Yuyan who trembled in fear. The thought of Wu Xingxie possibly dying scared her more than her own death.

"Eldest Miss, don't leave me." She cried but Wu Xingxie placed a scroll on her hands. Yuyan sniffed and looked down at the scroll.

"Keep this for me." Wu Xingxie said with a bittersweet smile before running towards the door. She kicked it open, knocking two of the assassins who were outside.

The other two charged at her, swords ready to slice her up.

Of course, Wu Xingxie teleported away, so they ended up slicing nothing but air.

The other two struggled to get up and without warning, Wu Xingxie formed her sword, lunging towards all four of them. Her eyes filled with killing intent, hate and resentment.

In the room, Yuyan hid behind the bed, closing her eyes out of fear. She heard metal clanking, footsteps running about along with grunts.

It seemed like an eternity for her as she waited and waited until finally, there was no more sound. It was absolutely silent, raising the terror in her heart.

Yuyan didn't dare to get up. She remained in the position for a bit longer until the sound of slow footsteps alerted her.

What if it's an assassin?

She didn't dare peek out and anticipated for whoever it was to launch an attack when she heard a sigh.

Yuyan knew it too well and quickly came out from her hiding spot. Without a word, she hugged Wu Xingxie tighly, throwing them back.

"Eldest Miss, I was so scared. I thought they'd killed you." Yuyan refused to let go of the girl who was a bit shock by her actions.

"Silly girl. I won't die easily." Wu Xingxie smiled but hidden in her eyes were malevolence not because of her actions. It was because what happened was out of her expectations.

"I killed all of them. We have to leave." She suggested and Yuyan agreed because this place wasn't safe any longer. Still, it was unsafe for them to go out since there could be more

assassins throughout the palace.

Despite seeming calm, Wu Xingxie's fingers trembled. It was the first time she killed someone. Before time traveling, she had never killed anyone, so now, it was not only the first, but second, third, and fourth time she killed someone as well.

"Eldest Miss..." Yuyan whispered, moving into a comfortable position.

"What is it?" Wu Xingxie responded in the same volume, being careful not to be heard.

Yuyan pondered for a while, wondering what she should ask. She wanted to know more about the future now that Wu Xingxie revealed her secret.

"Why did you return? Was there something you were disappointed with in the future?"

Yuyan didn't want to come off as an interrogator, so she quickly added,

"If it makes you uncomfortable, you don't have to tell me."

Wu Xingxie remained silent for a few minutes, in deep thought about what she should say.

Outside the Imperial Palace.

General Tang's men were at the entrance of the gates, waiting to be let in. Due to the assassins possibly roaming the palace, they were held back to avoid confusion.

The issue had spread quickly, and all those involved in food preparation were taken to the torture room to be investigated.

As for other servants, they were warned to keep their mouths shut about the incident. Anyone who leaks what happened would be executed on spot.

"Who would be so daring to try and assassinate the government officials?" One of guards asked his colleague as they patrolled the place, searching for assassins.
