Chu Qianli turned and glared at him, almost rolling her eyes.
"You never told me, how was I supposed to know?"
"A'li..." Fu Long took a step forward, staring into her slightly tipsy eyes.
Some words, suddenly, he felt an impulse to blurt them out.
But he quickly suppressed them himself.
He smiled faintly, "Your mouth isn't tight enough, I can't tell you."
He turned his face away, his smile gradually becoming a little bitter.
"Don't push me towards any girl. I already like someone. A'li, do you understand?"
How could Chu Qianli not understand?
"I didn't know before, don't worry, I won't try to match you with Zi Yue anymore."
When it comes to feelings, you really can't force them.
If they had feelings for each other, it would be good to help.
But now, helping Long Zi Yue again would be like aiding and abetting, bullying the original partner.
She wouldn't do such a wicked thing.
"Mhm." Fu Long nodded, his voice carrying a complexity she couldn't decipher, "It's... good like this now."
Just as Chu Qianli was about to say something, her eyes suddenly darkened.
The smell... something was wrong!
A smell of decay!
The next moment, even Fu Long sensed it.
That decaying smell was approaching the backyard.
"Zi Yue might still be in the backyard!" Chu Qianli dashed towards the backyard.
Fu Long immediately dropped the water bucket he had just picked up and followed.
The backyard was still calm.
Long Zi Yue hadn't returned to her room directly. After Chu Qianli left, she wandered around the backyard by herself.
The backyard of the post station was very dilapidated and desolate everywhere.
Their main focus of protection was at the front, so the defense in the backyard was somewhat weak.
Seeing Chu Qianli and Fu Long rushing over, Long Zi Yue's expression was very strange.
"Zi Yue, is everything alright?" Chu Qianli quickly walked up to her.
Long Zi Yue shook her head. At this moment, having just failed in her confession half a day ago, she still didn't know how to face Fu Long.
She just wanted to complain to Chu Qianli in a low voice, "A'li, in the future..."
"Wrong! There's an ambush!"
Chu Qianli leaped up, raising her arm. With a few whooshing sounds, more than ten silver needles flew out.
In the pile of weeds not far from the backyard, there was a stir.
Suddenly, with several hissing sounds, several figures flew out from behind the grass.
Their speed was like lightning!
"Zi Yue, be careful!" Chu Qianli drew her short knife with a swish, her light body landing in front of Long Zi Yue, and slashed out with her knife.
The knife wind, carrying a rich internal force, actually forced those black-clothed men back two steps.
Two of them had two bloody gashes on their chests on the spot.
If their Qinggong wasn't strong enough, this knife wind would have already taken their lives!
Long Zi Yue and Fu Long were stunned.
When did A'li's speed and internal force become so powerful?
Even Chu Qianli herself was a little surprised.
Murong Yu's bestowed power was truly generous!
No wonder she was spitting blood while holding onto the railing when she woke up; she must have overused her cultivation.
Murong Yu probably had a reason to stay in the Northern Ming Kingdom and couldn't go to the Dragon Ascending Kingdom.
Therefore, she found Chu Qianli and gave her internal force, wanting her to protect Feng Wuya!
This internal force was too powerful!
The black-clothed men didn't think much of it. Failing to hit their target, the three uninjured ones rolled on the ground and disappeared in an instant.
"Invisibility technique!" Fu Long and Long Zi Yue exclaimed simultaneously.
Chu Qianli held her short knife, standing with Fu Long who had come over, "Is it the legendary Eastern Ying Invisibility Technique?"
"Not necessarily Eastern Ying! Fusang people also understand invisibility techniques."
The two who were injured leaped up from the ground and immediately pounced on them.
It seemed that once injured, the invisibility technique couldn't be used.
However, the three black-clothed men had disappeared.
Fu Long dealt with the two black-clothed men alone, while Chu Qianli held her short knife, and Long Zi Yue also drew her long sword, constantly paying attention to the movements around them.
A gust of wind swept past.
Chu Qianli felt the long hair by her ears lightly brush against her.
Just as the gust of wind suddenly attacked, she turned her wrist, and with a swish, the black-clothed man who had rushed past her instantly fell to the ground!
But there were still two!
Behind her, Long Zi Yue swung his long sword, but couldn't hit anything.
A chill attacked from behind.
"Be careful!" Fu Long slashed behind her with his saber.
Chu Qianli's short knife had already stabbed out beside her left arm.
With two hissing sounds, two black-clothed men were stabbed and immediately revealed themselves.
Fu Long swung his saber, and one of them immediately bled profusely from his head, falling to the ground and dying on the spot.
Chu Qianli's knife flashed, and the other person also fell to the ground, heavily injured, and could no longer get up.
"There are assassins!" Dan Qing rushed over with his men and quickly subdued the four black-clothed men.
But at the moment they were subdued, the four black-clothed men bit through the poison hidden in their teeth.
They died on the spot!
There was no time to save them.
"Don't touch their bodies!" Fu Long quickly went over and pulled Chu Qianli, who was squatting down to examine the corpses.
"The bodies are poisoned," he said urgently.
"I know, I'm wearing gloves."
Fu Long was still worried, "What do you want to see? I'll do it."
"You wouldn't understand." Chu Qianli searched them carefully but couldn't find any useful traces.
Tie Xin protected Feng Wuya and came.
Chu Qianli suddenly stood up, dropped her gloves, and her face was solemn, "Something's not right."
Fu Long frowned, "A'li, what's wrong?"
"It's not their smell." She clearly smelled the decay.
It was... it was the same smell she had smelled on the medicinal people back then!
"No! There are medicinal people!"
The words "medicinal people" didn't mean much to Dan Qing and Long Zi Yue.
But the guards from their Northern Ming Kingdom changed color instantly upon hearing it!
How could medicinal people chase them here?
"Miss Chu, are they really medicinal people?" Tie Xin immediately shielded Feng Wuya, "But why can't we see any trace of the medicinal people?"
"I definitely smelled the scent of medicinal people, there's no mistake!"
She could smell this scent.
But after occasionally feeling it clearly, it seemed to become less clear again.
It came in waves, carried by the wind.
She had smelled it for a while, so why hadn't they arrived yet?
She suddenly leaped up and landed on the roof.
Fu Long immediately followed her, landing not far from her.
The two of them looked into the distance and quickly found the source of the smell.
"Someone is fighting!" Fu Long looked at Chu Qianli, "You stay and guard them, I'll go and see."
"No, it's too dangerous for you to go alone!"
How powerful medicinal people were, Chu Qianli had seen it before, how could she let Fu Long go alone?
"Someone is blocking them for us."
Chu Qianli floated down from above, returning to the ground.
She looked at Feng Wuya, "Fu Long and I will go and see. You guys pack your belongings immediately, and once..."
"No need."
Feng Wuya's expression was slightly strange.
After a moment, he pursed his lips and said, "It's my people."
