No! This is absolutely impossible!
Huangfu Yue shook her head vigorously and looked down at her body. She could see nothing; she was still in stealth mode.
If she couldn't even see herself, how could Leng Yusheng possibly see her?
But why was he walking straight towards her, staring intently?
Huangfu Yue furrowed her brow, utterly bewildered.
She felt an urge to retreat, to phase through the wall and hide in the adjacent ear room, but she also wanted to stand her ground and wait for Leng Yusheng to approach, to see if he had truly discovered her. m..oΓg
After a moment of hesitation, Huangfu Yue decided to wait. However, she didn't just stand idly by. While waiting for Leng Yusheng, she attempted to conceal her aura.
She suddenly remembered that Leng Yusheng was a master and could sense a person's aura. Thinking that Leng Yusheng was walking towards her because he had sensed her aura, not because he saw her, she decided to try concealing her aura to prove this point.
Leng Yusheng arrived before Huangfu Yue in an instant. He stopped, squinted slightly, his eyes, like stars, scanning in all directions as if searching for something.
"Strange, why has the aura disappeared? I clearly sensed an aura here earlier, the same one I sensed on the street outside..." Leng Yusheng murmured softly. A rare crack appeared in his expressionless, icy face, revealing a hint of confusion.
Case closed! Huangfu Yue exhaled quietly.
So, he had sensed her aura, not seen her!
However, the way he had walked straight towards her and stared intently truly made it seem as if he had discovered and seen her... it had startled her a little.
Now it seemed he wasn't staring at her, but in the direction she was. That's why it felt like he was staring at her.
Now that she had concealed her aura, he couldn't sense it and therefore couldn't "see" her.
"Sir, we've apprehended the man and woman who just fled this room. The woman is injured," a guard suddenly ran in through the main door, bowing behind Leng Yusheng to report.
Upon hearing this, Huangfu Yue immediately looked towards the main door. She then realized that the young woman and the man who had been at the entrance earlier had disappeared. They must have escaped when her attention was fully focused on Leng Yusheng.
Perhaps they were too terrified of ghosts, not even caring that Leng Yusheng, a stranger, had suddenly barged into their home. They just wanted to get as far away from the ghost as possible.
"Where are they?" Leng Yusheng turned to ask the guard.
"Here, Sir." A group of guards, escorting the man who had fled and the injured young woman, entered.
"She's injured, why are you still holding her? Release her and tend to her wound," Leng Yusheng glanced at the young woman, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, and harshly reprimanded his subordinates.
Huangfu Yue raised an eyebrow. Well, she hadn't expected him to have a shred of humanity, to be so chivalrous.
"Yes, Sir." The men escorting the young woman immediately let her go. One of them examined her wound and began to treat it.
"She's my wife, you lecherous man, you can't touch her clothes and look at her body!" The young woman's husband, seeing the person about to handle his wife's wound, immediately jumped up and yelled.
"If I don't open her clothes, I can't properly treat her wound," the person treating the young woman's wound said with a frown.
"Still no! Only I can see her body!" the young woman's husband insisted, shaking his head.
Everyone except Leng Yusheng frowned. The person treating the young woman's wound said, "Your wife's wound is large, and she's bleeding profusely. If it's not treated immediately, she might die from blood loss."
"Such a woman who disregards her virtue, who cuckolds her husband, who fornicated with many wild men, who has been slept with by countless men, such a slut, a dirty whore... it's good that she dies!"
The young woman's husband said dismissively, even spitting disdainfully at his wife.
"The wound on your wife's abdomen was made by you, wasn't it?" Leng Yusheng spoke, his voice as cold as ever. He walked to the pillar where the cleaver was stuck, pulled it out, and said, "The murder weapon is this cleaver."
"You cut her because you believed she had cuckolded you and betrayed you!" He approached the young woman's husband, holding the cleaver.
"Yes," the young woman's husband admitted frankly. "She deserved to die! This bitch betrayed me and cuckolded me countless times. Her death is merited!" He glared hatefully at his wife.
"No, I didn't! You're wronging me..." the young woman shook her head forcefully and immediately cried out in protest.
"Bitch, you still dare deny it! Let me tell you all the shameful things you've done, let this lord and his subordinates hear, and then see if I'm wronging you!" The young woman's husband's eyes blazed with anger as he yelled, cutting her off and cursing.
Hurry up and tell! Huangfu Yue, who had been watching quietly, urged him in her mind.
Hearing that he was about to reveal everything, Huangfu Yue was delighted because she could learn about Chang Qing's private residence and what that brothel was about without having to ask the young woman.
But just as the young woman's husband was about to speak, two hidden weapons suddenly flew out. One shot towards the young woman's chest, and the other towards her husband's chest. In an instant, a lot of bright red blood gushed from their chests, and they both fell to the ground. Dead!
The suddenness of their deaths stunned everyone. Huangfu Yue and Leng Yusheng were the first to react, immediately looking in the direction from which the hidden weapons had come.
A black shadow flashed across the roof of the side room. The assailant had hidden on the roof and shot the weapons to kill, and had now fled.
Without a second thought, Huangfu Yue and Leng Yusheng immediately gave chase. They leaped up almost simultaneously, jumping onto the roof where the black shadow had been.
As they stood on the roof, they quickly found the direction the black shadow had taken. The shadow had already reached the street and was sprinting across the open street, trying to escape.
Want to escape? Not a chance! Huangfu Yue pulled out the hairpin from her head and shot it towards the black shadow, returning the favor.
Huangfu Yue's martial arts were heaven-defying, and her skill with hidden weapons was top-notch. In the next second, the black shadow's ankle was pierced by her hairpin, causing him to cry out in pain and collapse to the ground, unable to run further.
Just as Huangfu Yue was about to rejoice that the culprit couldn't escape, Leng Yusheng, who was about a meter away from her, suddenly looked at her and coldly called out, "Who?"
Before Huangfu Yue could react, he reached to his waist, pulled, and actually yanked out a flashing soft sword, thrusting it towards Huangfu Yue...
