"Damn it! This cheap cousin is too ferocious, drawing his sword to stab!"
Huangfu Yue quickly dodged. She didn't dare to stand still and experiment to see if she, who could pass through walls and doors, could also pass through swords. If not, she'd be in trouble, with a bloody hole pierced through her body.
Although Leng Yusheng stabbed with extreme speed and fierceness, making it very dangerous and difficult to dodge for ordinary people, Huangfu Yue was no ordinary person and easily evaded him.
As she dodged, she inwardly regretted that after capturing the killer's figure, she had become so happy that she forgot Leng Yusheng was also in pursuit and nearby. She had intended to use his own method against him, pulling out her hairpin to use as a projectile.
Even worse, she had forgotten to conceal her aura, allowing Leng Yusheng to sense her presence again and know her location.
What was going on with this cheap cousin? Even if he sensed her presence, he didn't have to draw his sword and stab so viciously!
However, his sword was truly remarkable, able to be wrapped around his waist... no, to be precise, it was inserted into the jade belt around his waist, which was why she hadn't noticed the sword hidden there earlier.
She had only noticed the long and beautiful white jade pendant at his waist, never imagining it was a sword hilt. The sword hilt was truly unique and exquisite, and very ornate, made of the finest white jade...
"Missed!" Leng Yusheng lightly raised the outer edge of his right eyebrow and uttered coldly.
He clearly felt the soft sword in his hand miss, not hitting anything. Although he couldn't see anything, he was certain someone was there.
The suddenly appearing hairpin was the best evidence!
Moreover, he sensed the previously detected aura again, indicating that the mysterious aura he had sensed was not his delusion. There was indeed someone, and they had been there all along. Was that person following him?
But why couldn't he see the person? Did that person have the ability to become invisible?
This was too incredible! But nothing was impossible in this world...
Suddenly hearing his words "Missed!", Huangfu Yue, who was studying his soft sword and found it quite interesting, remembered her current predicament. This was not the time to be leisurely studying swords.
Her current situation was not good; he had confirmed her existence, and she needed to leave quickly. However, before leaving, she had to take the culprit who had killed the couple with her.
She wanted to interrogate this fellow properly and find out why he had killed the couple.
With that thought, Huangfu Yue, who had once again concealed her aura, making her undetectable and unlocatable by Leng Yusheng, flew to the ground and ran towards the killer, whose ankle she had shot with her hairpin. She intended to capture him and leave, but when she reached him, she found he was already dead.
He had committed suicide by poison!
Huangfu Yue was a bit stunned. No way, this fellow had actually committed suicide by poison?!
She looked at the medicine bottle in his hand, feeling a bit frustrated. When had he taken out the poison and swallowed it? How had she not noticed?
It must have been when Leng Yusheng discovered her, drew his sword to stab her, and her attention was fully on Leng Yusheng, leaving her no time to pay attention to him.
It was all Leng Yusheng's fault! Huangfu Yue turned her head to look at Leng Yusheng, who was still standing on the rooftop, seemingly searching for her, and glared at him fiercely.
Whether Leng Yusheng sensed her fierce glare or not, he looked towards her. Seeing that the killer was dead, he frowned slightly and immediately flew over.
Bad, he's coming!
Once he arrived, he would definitely examine the killer's body and would likely pull out the hairpin that had pierced the killer's ankle to study it.
Although he might not be able to discover anything from the hairpin or determine that it belonged to her, it was better to be careful. It was better to be safe than sorry.
She couldn't let the hairpin fall into his hands.
With that thought, Huangfu Yue reached out and pulled out the hairpin. It didn't matter if Leng Yusheng saw the hairpin being pulled out and guessed that she was the one pulling it out; he had already discovered her anyway, but he still didn't know who she was.
As Leng Yusheng was about to reach the killer's body, he saw the hairpin inserted into the killer's ankle suddenly pull itself out. His gaze sharpened, and he instantly guessed that the person who had shot the hairpin was pulling it out.
The other party had already reached the killer's side first.
Although Huangfu Yue immediately put the hairpin into her invisibility cloak after pulling it out, making it invisible along with herself so Leng Yusheng couldn't see it, she was still a step too late. Leng Yusheng already knew where she was.
Without a word, Leng Yusheng once again extended his sword to stab, but Huangfu Yue naturally wouldn't let him stab her obediently and skillfully avoided him again.
Why was this fellow so fierce? He loved using his sword to stab people so much; if he was this fierce, wouldn't he never find a wife!
After giving Leng Yusheng a glare, Huangfu Yue glanced at the corpse on the ground, then turned and fled, leaving at top speed.
The killer was dead, so there was naturally nothing to get from him, and she couldn't ask him why he killed the couple. Leaving him was now useless.
Furthermore, Leng Yusheng had already discovered her. Although he didn't know her identity, staying any longer would be somewhat dangerous. He was too perceptive. He truly lived up to his title as the Junior Secretary of Dali Temple, specializing in case investigation!
"Missed again!"
Because Huangfu Yue had concealed her aura, Leng Yusheng could no longer sense her presence, let alone locate her. He didn't know she had already left. Feeling that he had missed again, he thrust his sword several more times around the corpse, trying to find her by seeing what he couldn't hit.
The result was very disappointing for Leng Yusheng.
"Cowardly rat, hiding your head and tail!" Leng Yusheng scanned his surroundings and snorted coldly.
Naturally, no one responded to him.
Leng Yusheng's expression grew colder. Suddenly, he elegantly and handsomely re-inserted his sword into the jade belt around his waist with his right hand. Then, he waved both palms simultaneously. The area several feet around him exploded.
"Gone! When did they slip away?" Leng Yusheng scanned his surroundings and muttered softly.
Since the other party could become invisible, he could only use a powerful move to blast the surroundings. If the other party was there, they would definitely reveal themselves. But there was nothing, indicating the other party had already slipped away.
Who exactly was this person? What was their purpose?
Leng Yusheng turned to look at the killer's corpse at his feet, bent down, and carefully examined the body, but found nothing. He only discerned that the person was a well-trained death soldier who feared no death. Therefore, after having their ankle pierced and knowing they couldn't escape, they decisively took poison to commit suicide, silencing themselves.
Leng Yusheng then took a closer look at the killer's ankle pierced by the hairpin and quickly concluded that the attacker's concealed weapon skills were extremely high, but he couldn't discern the style, thus he couldn't determine their origin.
So, it was all for naught...
Leng Yusheng's brow was halfway furrowed, but then his eyes suddenly lit up. What was that?
Leng Yusheng extended his left hand, picked up something near the killer's feet, and examined it closely. It was a wooden hairpin.
A woman's item!
Leng Yusheng narrowed his starry eyes slightly. When the invisible person had shot the hairpin that pierced the killer's ankle, the hairpin had flown too fast, so he hadn't seen its style clearly, only that it was a wooden hairpin.
However, men also wore hairpins, so he dared not rashly conclude that the invisible person was a woman based on the hairpin.
But this wooden hairpin's style was something only women wore. Therefore, it could be judged that the invisible person was likely a woman, and of noble status, definitely someone wealthy.
The wooden hairpin in his hand looked simple at first glance, but upon closer inspection, it was very exquisite and elegantly designed, not something ordinary people could possess.
He could start investigating from this wooden hairpin, see if he could find anything, and locate the person.
However, he really didn't expect the person to be a woman!
He never thought there could be such a powerful woman in the world, capable of becoming invisible, truly omnipotent... truly remarkable!
Leng Yusheng became intensely interested in her. He had never been so interested in anyone before...
"Sir!" A call suddenly came from behind. Leng Yusheng knew it was his subordinates without turning his head.
A cold glint flashed in his starry eyes. A bunch of useless people, only showing up now... It seemed they all needed to be sent back for retraining.
"Sir, this person is..." Leng Yusheng's subordinate arrived in front of him, saw the killer's corpse, and began to ask, but was interrupted before he finished.
"Take him away and bring him back to Dali Temple along with the previous couple for the coroner to examine," Leng Yusheng ordered coldly. Then, he put away the wooden hairpin in his hand and left his subordinate behind. His footsteps were light, his posture graceful, as if he were riding the wind, truly beautiful.
"Yes." Leng Yusheng's subordinate hurriedly obeyed the order.
