Chapter 1386 Though living in the martial world, my mother dislikes fighting and killing.
"Sister Zhen'er, wake up."
"There seem to be a lot of people outside, and they don't seem like good people."
A-Zhu was somewhat surprised when Shen Yue's voice suddenly rang in her ears.
Shen Yue wasn't particularly talented in martial arts, but she was quite skilled in some unorthodox techniques. She hadn't expected the other party to be so alert in the dead of night.
"Is someone there?" A-Zhou asked in a low voice.
In the darkness, Shen Yue slowly sat up, staring outside. She couldn't see anything clearly, but she said with certainty, "There are definitely people. I heard a lot of noise. My ears have been very sensitive since I was a child; I can hear sounds from very far away."
Ah Zhen understood; it turned out to be an innate talent, which made it no surprise.
The client and Shen Yue weren't actually very familiar with each other, and there wasn't even any direct conflict between them. Of course, their relationship wasn't exactly good either, since Yi Xiaolan always liked to use Shen Yue as an example, encouraging clients to learn from her, which inevitably stirred up resentment.
"Let's hide first," Shen Yue suggested. "It wouldn't be good if they came and arrested us to threaten my aunt and the others when a fight breaks out."
Even Azhen didn't expect Shen Yue to make such a suggestion.
It has to be said that Shen Yue is quite shrewd; this situation is very likely to occur.
"I feel someone coming into this room," Shen Yue said nervously, unconsciously gripping Azhen's sleeve tightly.
Azhen heard someone approaching, so she didn't hesitate any longer. She grabbed Shen Yue and flew to the roof beam, where they found a shady spot to hide.
Shen Yue almost cried out in surprise. In the darkness, if one could see clearly, one would definitely see that her eyes were shining brightly.
She had initially suggested hiding under the bed, but now it seemed better to hide high up, where it wouldn't affect their breathing and there wouldn't be much dust. Even if someone came in and couldn't find them, they wouldn't immediately suspect that they were hiding there.
The thought had barely formed in his mind when the door was flung open.
At the same time, it became noisy outside, with the sounds of swords clashing echoing in the dead of night, making people feel uneasy and uneasy.
Shen Yue was afraid that her breathing would be discovered, so she grabbed Azhen with one hand and covered her mouth tightly with the other, barely daring to breathe. Only when she couldn't hold it in any longer would she take a light breath and then exhale.
The person who entered was carrying a knife, and even in the moonlight, the blade gleamed with a chilling aura. Shen Yue didn't dare to dodge at all; she immediately turned her head away and closed her eyes.
Azhen stared at the man in black outside the door. Without hesitation, he went to the bed, reached out and grabbed at it, but clearly missed. He angrily threw the quilt aside, but instead of leaving, he wandered around the room.
Then, without warning, he grabbed the knife and slid through the bed.
If she hadn't been mentally prepared, Shen Yue probably would have been so frightened that she would have jumped out of her skin.
All she could think about was how lucky she was to be hiding on the roof beam. If she had been under the bed, even if she hadn't been stabbed, she would have been so frightened that she would have screamed involuntarily.
Not hearing the expected noise, the masked man was clearly surprised. He pulled out his knife and stabbed it from another spot, but there was still no movement under the bed.
This time, he had to peek out, and after stirring around haphazardly with the knife, he finally confirmed that there was no one under the bed.
He wandered around the room for a while before heading out the door.
"No one's here," the masked man's voice rang out from the doorway. "How's the rest of the place?"
"They're still engaged in battle, keeping them tied up. Aren't those two little girls supposed to live here? How come they're gone?"
"They probably heard the commotion and arranged for someone to take them away. They probably never really let them stay alone together in the first place. There must have been a skilled person guarding this house the whole time." "It's a pity. If they don't succeed this time, it will be difficult to seize such a good opportunity next time."
Hearing these conversations, Azhen also thought so.
There was a reason why she and Shen Yue stayed together at the inn this time.
According to the original plan, Shen Miao was supposed to live with her and Shen Yue. Shen Miao is also a good person; if there is any emergency, she will definitely be able to react immediately.
Yan Rugo stayed with Chu Yanzhi, while Xu Shan stayed with Yi Xiaolan, since Yi Xiaolan didn't know martial arts.
This arrangement is the most appropriate, with a highly skilled martial artist in each of the three rooms.
But Yi Xiaolan said that little girls must have a lot to talk about, and it would be uncomfortable to have an adult around. Anyway, their rooms weren't far apart, so they could look after each other if needed. Besides, it wasn't just a few of them who were skilled in martial arts who were traveling with them.
The rooms were all next to each other, and nothing really happened in the past two days.
This inn is clearly different in its layout, with the rooms spaced further apart.
Perhaps the two days of quiet made people lower their guard.
"They seem to have left, Zhen'er. Shall we go out or wait here?" Shen Yue asked in a low voice. "I wonder how Aunt and the others are doing. They haven't come looking for us for so long. They've probably run into big trouble."
"Let's go out and take a look," Azhen said. Logically speaking, if Xu Shan could get away from the unexpected incident at the inn, he would definitely come looking for her immediately.
Neither Xu Shan nor Shen Miaoyan or Rugo have come to this room yet; they are clearly being held back by something, and there might even be danger.
The mysterious organization will stop at nothing to obtain the questionnaire; they might be up to some dirty tricks.
She wouldn't just stand by and watch Xu Shan get into trouble; naturally, she had to go and see what happened.
Azhen carried Shen Yue down from the roof beam, while Shen Yue strained her ears to listen to the sounds outside. Not noticing any footsteps, she breathed a sigh of relief.
However, when Azhen led Shen Yue to the door, two dark figures blocked their way like ghosts, arriving without making a sound.
Azhen sensed Shen Yue's surprise and realized that without martial arts skills, relying solely on hearing was insufficient. Once a master noticed, they would muffle their voices, making it difficult for Shen Yue to detect their presence.
Actually, she always knew that the two people hadn't left.
She couldn't possibly wait inside, given that the situation outside was clearly not right.
"I knew it wouldn't be that fast, but I didn't expect these two girls to be hiding on the roof beams." A masked man in front of them let out a strange laugh and then rushed over to grab Azhen and Shen Yue.
Unexpectedly, a flash of cold light appeared the next moment, and the masked man screamed in agony, only to find that his hand had been severed.
"Grab these two little girls and break their bones first!" The masked man with the severed hand roared in anger, tapping himself a few times before ignoring the pain and charging towards Azhen with another masked man.
Azhen remained calm, took out a medicine bottle, opened it, and sprayed the contents onto them.
The two masked men were caught off guard and got splashed in the face, letting out cries of pain and rolling on the ground in agony.
Then A-Zhuang severed their tendons and ligaments before leading Shen Yue to other rooms to search for the missing people. (End of Chapter)
