Chapter 1692: Chapter 1692
"I’m fine!" Su Yunjin’s legs went weak as she looked at Xue Chu with eyes still filled with fear. Just a moment ago, she almost became a lifeless soul under the blades of those men in black.
Su Yunjin stood there trembling with fear. Xue Chu’s expression was not much better than Su Yunjin’s. He had promised Gu Ya he would help protect his lady, yet just now he almost let her be killed by those men in black.
Thankfully, the lady is safe. If anything happened to her, how could he explain it to Gu Ya?
The men in black aimed to take Su Yunjin’s life and fought with King Chu for a while. Two stayed behind to tangle with King Chu, while the others continued to attack Su Yunjin.
"My lady, quickly hide behind me," Xue Chu said, readying his sword. Su Yunjin swiftly took cover behind Xue Chu. Right now, Su Yunjin is very concerned for her life. She still has Little Tiangua and Little Yuanbao to care for, and such a good husband as Gu Ya. Unless absolutely necessary, Su Yunjin would never let anything happen to herself.
Xue Chu’s eyes turned red, and he fiercely swung his sword in defense. If it weren’t for Gu Ya’s generous assistance in the past, his mother’s life would have been lost long ago. Gu Ya saved his mother, which was a life-renewing favor. Now that Gu Ya entrusted his lady to him, that was a show of trust, and he would fight to the death to ensure Lady Gu’s safety.
There were too many men in black. Despite Xue Chu’s martial skills, it was hard for him to fend off the surrounding attackers. Soon, Xue Chu was struggling to hold his ground, clearly at a disadvantage.
Su Yunjin watched Xue Chu with a mix of urgency and worry, concerned for both herself and Xue Chu. Su Yunjin didn’t want anything to happen to her, nor did she want Xue Chu to be harmed because of her. Suddenly, a man in black charged at Su Yunjin, brandishing a knife. Xue Chu was busy dealing with the men in black and couldn’t spare a hand to rescue Su Yunjin. He could only shout to the other five people, "Hong Wu, saving the lady is most important, hurry and go save her."
Hong Wu heard Xue Chu’s call, immediately kicked away the man in front of him, and rushed to rescue Su Yunjin. After her initial panic, seeing the man charging at her again, Su Yunjin no longer felt the previous terror. In such situations, besides relying on Xue Chu and his team for protection, she must also maintain her stance and save herself, not lose her head first.
Su Yunjin calmly focused her gaze on the man wielding the knife aimed at her. The man fiercely stabbed the knife towards Su Yunjin, who, now prepared, swiftly dodged backward, causing the knife to strike a large wooden pillar behind her instead. Missing his target, the man extracted the knife and intended to attack Su Yunjin again. Content orıginally comes from 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭·𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦·𝘯𝘦𝘵
This time, before Su Yunjin could dodge, King Chu and Hong Wu arrived swiftly and simultaneously blocked the man’s knife with their swords. Su Yunjin, grasping the wooden pillar with one hand and clutching her chest with the other, thought, what a close call—she nearly got killed again.
Earlier, while preoccupied with the man trying to kill her, Su Yunjin wasn’t nervous. But now, as she held her chest, she became aware of the cold sweat on her palms and back.
"Miss Su, are you alright? Did that man hurt you just now?" King Chu, after leaving the man to Hong Wu, turned his attention to Su Yunjin. His eyes revealed unabashed concern and tension. Looking at King Chu, Su Yunjin momentarily didn’t know what to say. King Chu saved her, and she was grateful. However, King Chu’s feelings for her and the incident where he had people kidnap her made Su Yunjin instinctively want to avoid King Chu.
Just when Su Yunjin didn’t know how to face King Chu, a cold knife suddenly stabbed towards them. Su Yunjin exclaimed, "Be careful." King Chu couldn’t dodge in time but in a flash positioned himself in front of Su Yunjin, while Su Yunjin watched as his blood stained his robe.
