Yuan Tang was a bit confused about what just happened. Did the girl just launch a surprise attack, or did she give some kind of signal to his cousin?

Otherwise, why would his cousin close his eyes?

On second thought, wasn't his cousin afraid that the girl might miss her shot?

Yuan Tang felt jealous!

His cousin didn't trust him that much!

Liu Yisheng quickly walked towards the two of them. The masked man was about to swing his sword at Liu Yisheng's back when he was blasted back several steps by one of Gu Jiao's black gunpowder balls!

He knew very well how powerful those things were as several of his comrades were injured by it!

Gu Jiao also hurriedly came to support Liu Yisheng.

"Are you okay?" Gu Jiao asked.

"I'm..." Liu Yisheng hadn't finished speaking when he suddenly reached out and pulled Gu Jiao into his arms, his other hand protecting the back of her head.

A sword light slashed down, and Liu Yisheng's pinky finger flew off.

"Cousin!" Yuan Tang exclaimed.

The scalding hot blood splattered onto Gu Jiao's neck. She grabbed Liu Yisheng's right hand and saw the bleeding stump where the pinky finger used to be. A frosty glint flashed within her eyes.

In that instant, everyone felt a drastic change in Gu Jiao's aura.

It was as if... the previous fight was just a casual encounter, and she hadn't used her full strength. But now, every strand of her hair seemed ready to explode!

Gu Jiao wasn't entirely sure what the dream of returning to the Marquis Estate really meant, but she knew she was becoming unable to separate herself from the version of herself in that dream.

Liu Yisheng was the one who collected her body and buried her bones, the one she had to protect for the rest of her life.

Regardless of whether this strong emotion came from her current self or the one in the dream, she only knew that there was a voice in her mind—— no one was allowed to harm him.

Gu Jiao swiftly tore off a piece of her dress and wrapped it around Liu Yisheng's wound, then she pulled out the dagger from her waist.

Everyone was overwhelmed by the sudden burst of aura and killing intent from Gu Jiao, so much so that they could only watch in shock as she bandaged the wound without even flinching.

It was only when Gu Jiao finally took action that the crowd finally reacted, but unfortunately it was already too late.

Gu Jiao took three or four steps forward and threw the dagger into the air before catching it skillfully. Then, in an instant, the dagger viciously pierced the heart of the assassin who had attacked Liu Yisheng!

Another spray of blood splattered onto her face!

She casually wiped it away, and her eyes became terrifying.

Everyone was stunned by this scene.

She had been fighting with a stick and only knocked people unconscious, so they assumed she had no weapons or didn't know how to use them. Some even thought she might be timid, kind-hearted, and indecisive.

After all, she was just a teenage girl.

However, it was this "timid," "kind-hearted," and "indecisive" girl who stabbed a dagger through an assassin's heart!

It seemed like only a moment had passed, and yet it felt like a long time. When the masked man recovered from his horror, all of his comrades had fallen.

The air was filled with a thick smell of blood.

His martial arts were not weak. If he were to fight to the death with Gu Jiao, even though he couldn’t guarantee a win, escaping wouldn’t be a problem.

But he was petrified by Gu Jiao's methods.

Was this really just a teenage girl? Damn, she was more like a goddess of slaughter!

Gu Jiao was covered in blood, but none of it was hers. The dagger in her hand was also dripping with blood.

The bloodlust inside her surged endlessly with the stimulation of the blood. She held the dagger like a demon who returned from hell, step by step approaching the masked man.

The masked man's legs went weak, and he fell on his butt.

"Don't come any closer... Don't come! You, you stay back!" He tried to back away with one hand on the ground while pointing the sword at Gu Jiao with the other.

But his speech didn’t even qualify as a roar; at best, they were just empty bluster.

Liu Yisheng and Yuan Tang also noticed that something was off with Gu Jiao. They called out to her many times, but she seemed completely deaf to their voices.

"Young Miss Gu!" Liu Yisheng called her again.

Gu Jiao still didn't respond.

Yuan Tang walked over and stood in front of Gu Jiao, saying, "That's enough! It's already over!"

Gu Jiao pushed Yuan Tang away with a backhand, and he stumbled several steps, almost hitting the corner of the wall and breaking his ribs.

What was going on? Has this girl gone mad?

Liu Yisheng approached Gu Jiao from behind and looked at her back, "Young Miss Gu..."

Gu Jiao raised her hand and swung the dagger down.

Liu Yisheng closed his eyes poignantly.

…...

Gu Jiao lit up a matchstick and found the severed finger on the dirty ground.

Liu Yisheng sat against the wall.

She knelt in front of Liu Yisheng, opened her little medicine chest, and took out a disinfectant and surgical instruments. She cleaned her hands and put on gloves.

Gu Jiao cleaned Liu Yisheng's wound, injected anesthesia, and sutured the severed finger back onto his hand.

Throughout the process, she didn't say a word, and Liu Yisheng didn't ask anything either.

Yuan Tang, however, looked at her medicine chest and the things she took out from it with a strange look.

"Hey, what are all these things? Will it really heal when you attach it like that? Why doesn't my cousin feel any pain?"

"Hey, say something."

"You're really scary like this."

Yuan Tang waved his finger in front of Gu Jiao's eyes, but she didn't react.

She wasn’t ignoring him on purpose. It was as if she genuinely didn't see him.

Yuan Tang looked at Liu Yisheng with a puzzled expression on his face, "Cousin, she..."

Liu Yisheng gave him a silent gesture, indicating to him to shut up.

Yuan Tang closed his mouth grumpily but couldn't help but keep his eyes on Gu Jiao.

Did this girl really go crazy? How come she couldn’t hear or see him?

Gu Jiao performed the surgery meticulously. After finishing the last stitch, she cut the thread and bandaged the wound with gauze.

The next moment, she blacked out and fainted.

In truth, Gu Jiao had lost consciousness long before. She had completed the surgery for Liu Yisheng solely by sheer obsession.

With the surgery over, she didn't need to hold on anymore... nor could she hold on any longer.

Seeing Gu Jiao about to collapse to the dirty and filthy ground, Liu Yisheng instinctively reached out and used his arm to support her faltering body.

He gently drew his arm, and Gu Jiao fell into his embrace

The scent of the maiden, mixed with the strong smell of blood, penetrated into the tip of his nose.

He had never been so close to someone before.

His body stiffened.

However, before he could even adjust to the presence of the girl in his arms, a sturdy figure suddenly descended from above and snatched Gu Jiao away from him!

"Who are you!" Yuan Tang quickly stood in front of Liu Yisheng, trying to take Gu Jiao back, but he couldn't even touch the corner of the other party’s clothes.

"Who are you!" Liu Yisheng leaned against the wall and stood up coldly.

Just when both of them thought the other was another assassin coming to attack them, the person suddenly struck the rooftop to the southeast with a palm strike.

A miserable scream came from the rooftop, and then more than ten figures fell with a thud.

Yuan Tang's expression changed.

When did so many assassins come in secret?

If it weren't for this person, the three of them would probably be in grave danger!

Who exactly was this masked man?

Was he an enemy or a friend?

If he was an enemy, why did he help them?

If he was a friend, why did he snatch Gu Jiao away?
