Chapter 2527 - 2528: Caught Between a Rock and a Hard Place
Zhitian still wanted to speak, but Bai Ruozhu directly hit his sleep acupuncture point, then picked him up and dashed out of the Yard.
Unexpectedly, the people who went to extinguish the fire had already returned. Bai Ruozhu saw them from afar and quickly took Zhitian into the Space.
Knocking Zhitian out was also to make it easier to enter the Space in times of emergency.
"What’s going on? What happened to you?" The leading steward shouted, pulling up a guard to ask.
"Steward, they are under the effect of Mystical Fragrance," said a returning guard.
"Who did this?" The steward’s expression turned grim, "They can’t have gone far. Quickly pursue them! The fire in the Residence must be their doing too!"
"Yes!" A group of guards rushed out of the Yard, splitting into four teams to chase in four directions.
Bai Ruozhu tossed Zhitian aside, drank some water herself, having been busy all day, she was exhausted.
The "big screen" showed the situation outside, and soon footsteps were heard again from afar. Bai Ruozhu looked up, thinking it was the returning pursuers.
Unexpectedly, a somewhat sleazy-looking man approached with two servants, searching as if looking for something.
"Master, she’s under the effect of that drug, she definitely can’t escape, she might be nearby," one servant fawned.
The man glared at the servant, "You should say Patriarch; don’t forget the rules."
The servant slapped his own face with a smile, saying, "Look at my memory, it’s Patriarch, I won’t forget in the future."
The other servant showed a worried expression, "Patriarch, the Residence is somewhat chaotic today. You should go back to your room. They haven’t found the rescued Demon yet, what if you get accidentally injured?"
The fawning servant glared at him and said, "How can the Patriarch let the duck to his mouth fly away? What if someone else finds her and snatches the opportunity? That Yin Yang Master hasn’t been broken yet, the Patriarch should definitely have a good taste."
Bai Ruozhu didn’t expect the man on the screen to be the new Patriarch of the Fushan Family, committing such deeds. Indeed the upper beam is crooked, so is the lower beam. His father wasn’t a good person, and now it’s his turn to continue bullying boys and girls.
However, they actually said that girl was a Yin Yang Master, Bai Ruozhu was somewhat surprised, when she saved the girl before, she really didn’t notice.
After all, Yin Yang Masters are human too, being deceived is normal too.
"Oh no!" Bai Ruozhu couldn’t help but exclaim, the three people suddenly turned directions, facing the Artificial Hill where she hid the girl.
It’s difficult to save two people at the same time, but she couldn’t bear to see the girl being ruined by such sleazy people.
Sure enough, the sleazy servant had sharp eyes, pointing to a corner of clothing exposed from the Artificial Hill, saying, "Patriarch, look, isn’t that her!"
Fushan was full of joy, rushing over, the two servants hurriedly followed, looking like they wanted to protect him somewhat.
Bai Ruozhu gritted her teeth, it wouldn’t work like this, she simply lifted Zhitian and exited from the Space, hiding under a tree.
"It’s really her!" Fushan shouted, "Alright, you keep guard for me, I’ll reward you heavily later!"
The two servants hurriedly retreated a bit, turning their backs, but they weren’t too far from Fushan, obviously close enough to hear what’s going on, and Fushan didn’t feel awkward, probably had done such things many times before.
Bai Ruozhu felt nauseated, her fingertips moved, flicking some Poison Powder outward, unexpectedly, the cautious servant called out quickly, "Not good, someone’s poisoning, Patriarch be careful!"
His call was loud, surely alerted the surrounding guards, soon people would come, Fushan’s plan was thwarted, he would definitely capture the girl, and eventually torment her.
Bai Ruozhu couldn’t delay anymore, hurriedly put down Zhitian, used Qinggong to leap forward, her Dagger in hand, stabbing the servant aiding evil immediately, such malicious people are undeserving of life!
The other servant quickly drew a sword, approaching Bai Ruozhu.
"Who are you!" Fushan yelled, then shouted around, "Someone, there’s an assassin!"
Bai Ruozhu directly threw her Dagger at Fushan, Fushan was terrified and screamed, the servant pushed him aside, resulting in the Dagger not hitting Fushan, instead stabbed into the servant’s shoulder.
"Dare to harm the Patriarch, I’ll fight you!" The servant disregarded the pain, suddenly pulled out the Dagger from his shoulder and fiercely stabbed towards Bai Ruozhu.
Bai Ruozhu formed seals with one hand, set up a Defensive cover to protect herself, then rushed to the girl’s side, lifted her up, and tossed out a talisman from Qiu Zhi, quickly running towards Zhitian.
The talisman transformed into a stream of light, becoming a black cat shape, pouncing towards Fushan, the servant was so scared that he quickly flew to protect Fushan, but the talisman had no attack power, merely a shadow to scare them.
At this moment, Bai Ruozhu had already grabbed Zhitian with her left hand, carried the unconscious girl with her right, running swiftly.
Carrying two people was exhausting, her speed decreased considerably, behind her, voices shouting "capture the assassin" were already heard.
Bai Ruozhu thought for a moment, reaching to unlock Zhitian’s sleep acupuncture point, once he regained consciousness, she said, "Don’t talk, we’re still escaping, I also saved a Yin Yang Master, do you have a way to protect yourself?"
Zhitian hesitated for a moment, but soon reacted, immediately said, "I can find a place to hide."
Bai Ruozhu felt that this method was not feasible, now the entire Fushan Residence was searching for assassins and Demons, every corner would be searched, and he can’t see, how could he hide well?
For a moment Bai Ruozhu was somewhat troubled, being both girls, she couldn’t bear to let this girl be ruined, the girl looked only sixteen or seventeen years old. But from a selfish standpoint, she definitely wanted to save her own people more.
And she could only take one person to hide in the Space, leaving the other completely unprotected, what should she do?
The situation was urgent, Bai Ruozhu’s breathing became more rapid, and the noisy sounds behind her were getting closer. What should she do? No matter, she saw a Yard ahead, and directly rushed into it, hiding temporarily.
Suddenly, footsteps were heard from behind, very close. She instinctively looked back and saw a silhouette, a silhouette wearing a Yin Yang Master robe.
"What are you doing?" The person spoke, voice hoarse and dry, as if the throat was injured.
"Returning, sir, we’re capturing an assassin, a female assassin nearly harmed the Patriarch," a guard replied.
The Yin Yang Master snorted coldly, "You disturbed my rest, no assassin in my Yard, how could I not detect if someone came in?"
"But we saw her heading this way..."
The guard didn’t finish his sentence before being struck in the chest by a Qi force, retreating a few steps, "Dare to question my words again, next time it won’t be just a simple palm strike."
The guards were frightened, quickly retreating. The guard who was struck spat a mouthful of blood, though his eyes showed anger, he hurriedly knelt to plead for forgiveness, "I’m reckless, please forgive me, sir."
