Arrows whistled through the air. In an instant, one pierced through the knee of an assassin, causing him to collapse in pain. The assassin with the sword was swiftly apprehended by the Hidden Guards of the Bai family.
The Bai family's guards reacted with extreme speed. Without considering whether the intruders were enemies or not, they immediately shielded Bai Qingyan and promptly retreated.
In the brief moment of another assassin's distraction, Yue Shi appeared from nowhere and pierced his abdomen with a sword. With a swift pull, blood splattered everywhere.
Bai Qingyan, standing with hands behind her back, glanced towards the distant figure standing on the eaves and, after a moment of surprise, revealed a slight smile. As the figure leaped down, her smile deepened.
After several months, as the war between Yan and the Wei Kingdom intensified, she had not expected to encounter Xiao Rongyan in this place.
