　　A cold light flashed in the woman’s eyes, and she stood still in place.
　　The　next　moment.
　　「Shua　shua　shua！」
　　Dozens of figures, like ghosts, appeared in the rainy night and surrounded the pavilion from all directions.
　　They were wearing black night clothes, with bamboo hats on their heads and their faces covered with black cloth, looking at the woman in the pavilion with cold eyes.
　　In each person’s hand, there was a dagger, shining with cold light.
　　Assassins！
The woman was not flustered at all. She looked at those assassins calmly, and there was no ripple on her face.
　　「Little girl, don’t you ask who we are？」
　　The leading assassin said with a sinister smile.
The woman said indifferently, “A group of cowards who don’t even dare to show their true features. What’s there to ask.”
　　「Oh, I didn’t expect that a little woman actually has such courage. Not bad, not bad.」 The leading assassin’s tone changed. 「Unfortunately, you are going to die soon.」
　　「To be honest, seeing how beautiful you are, I can’t bear to kill you. Who told you to be from the Great Zhou royal family…」
　　Before the voice fell, it was interrupted by the woman.
　　「Are you assassins or old women? Why are you talking so much nonsense?」
　　As soon as these words came out, the assassins were furious.
　　「Arrogant! How dare you talk to us like this? Do you not want to live?」
“A little girl, and dare to satirize us. She really deserves to die.
　　「Kill her！」
　　「……」
　　In the face of the angry shouts of the assassins, the woman’s complexion remained as calm as a well, so calm that it was a bit excessive.
　　「If you want to kill me, then please do it quickly. Otherwise, when my guards come, you will have no chance.」
　　The leading assassin sneered when he heard her words： 「I’ve seen those who want to die, but I’ve never seen someone as eager to die as you. Since that’s the case, then I’ll send you on your way.」
　　「Little girl, goodbye forever.」
　　After saying that, the assassin rushed towards the woman with the dagger in his hand. Immediately, a cold murderous aura was released from the dagger, as cold as frost, and the temperature around seemed to have dropped to below zero.
　　The woman’s right hand hidden in her cuff clenched quietly, and her eyes became sharp at this moment.
　　Seeing that the assassin was already close to the woman, who knew that at this moment, a sudden change occurred.
　　「Whoosh！」
　　A sword qi suddenly appeared and pierced through the assassin’s forehead. Instantly, the assassin fell to the ground with his eyes wide open, dead with regret.
　　「Who？」
The other assassins were shocked and quickly looked behind the woman.
　　The woman was also a little strange. She looked back and then showed surprise in her eyes.
　　「Why is it him？」
　　The woman had a look of surprise on her face.
　　The person who made the move was none other than Ye Qiu.
　　Ye Qiu was dressed in a white robe, with a handsome appearance like jade. He walked over here slowly with his hands behind his back.
　　「Who exactly are you？」
　　A female assassin shouted sternly.
　　As if he didn’t hear, Ye Qiu walked to the side of the woman and asked with concern, “Miss Rou’er, are you okay？」
　　The woman shook her head.
　　”It’s good that you’re okay.” Only then did Ye Qiu take a look at those assassins and said with contempt, “You bunch of grown men, actually dealing with a weak woman. Do you still have any sense of shame？」
　　”Who on earth are you？” An assassin shouted .
　　Ye Qiu said, “Who I am is not important. The important thing is that I can’t stand so many of you bullying a woman. So… leave your lives behind！」
　　At the same time as the voice fell, Ye Qiu had already made a move, and the sword energy burst out between his fingers.
　　”Whoosh　whoosh　whoosh——」
　　These people were only at the peak of Nascent Soul stage, and the gap with Ye Qiu was really too big. They didn’t even have a chance to escape.
　　In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen killers had all been penetrated through the eyebrows by the sword energy and fell to the ground, out of breath.
　　After dealing with these killers, Ye Qiu smiled and said, “Alright, Miss Rou’er, the trouble has been solved. Hurry
　　back to the room and rest！」
　　The woman stood there and didn’t move. She asked, “Young Master Ye, thank you for saving me.」
　　”It’s just a small effort, not worth mentioning.” Ye Qiu exhorted, “In the future, when you go out, you should still be careful.」
“Hmm.” The woman gently hmm’ed and asked, “Young Master Ye, didn’t you go back to the room? Why did you come back again? Could it be that you sensed that I was in danger and came back to save me?
Ye Qiu smiled and said, “Miss Rou’er, you misunderstood. I didn’t come here especially to save you. It’s just that I left in a hurry just now and suddenly Youdaoplaceholder0 that the wind here is strong. I’m afraid you’ll catch a cold and ready to come back remind you to go back to your room early to rest. Who knew I would encounter this scene.
　　「Fortunately, it was in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.」
　　「Miss Rou’er, were you not scared？」
　　The woman found that when Ye Qiu spoke, his tone was sincere and his eyes were clear, and he didn’t seem to be lying.
　　「Could it be that I thought too much？」
　　The woman patted her flat chest and said with lingering fear, “I was almost scared to death just now. Fortunately, you came.」
“It’s all over, it’s okay.” With that, Ye Qiu took a step and appeared more than twenty meters away. He quickly broke off a peach blossom from the corner of the wall, handed it to the woman, and said, “There is nothing in the Great Zhou, only this fragrance is given to you.
　　The woman was not pretentious either. She reached out and took it, and said with regret while holding the peach blossom, “Young Master Ye, although the peach blossom is very beautiful, don’t you think it’s a pity to break it？」
　　Ye Qiu smiled and said, “There is a saying that when the flowers bloom, you should pick them straight away. Don’t wait until there are no flowers to pick them in vain. Giving fresh flowers to a beautiful woman is the most appropriate.」
　　Hearing this, the woman’s face turned slightly red. In order not to let Ye Qiu find out her strangeness, she quickly lowered her head.
　　Just at this time, his guards arrived.
　　Seeing the corpses all over the ground, the old man asked nervously, “Miss, are you all right？」
　　The woman shook her head： “I’m fine.」
　　”Who is this young master？” The old man’s eyes fell on Ye Qiu.
　　”Oh, Uncle Zhu, let me introduce you. This is Young Master Ye Qiu. Just now, there were assassins who wanted to kill me, and it was he who saved me.” The woman then introduced the old man to Ye Qiu： “Young Master Ye, this is Uncle Zhu.」
　　Uncle Zhu’s face was filled with smiles, and he said gratefully： “Young Master Ye, thank you for saving the young lady.」
　　”Uncle Zhu, you’re welcome.” Ye Qiu said： “Miss Rou’er, it’s getting late. I’ll go back to my room and rest first. Good night.」
　　The woman nodded slightly： “Good night.」
　　She kept watching Ye Qiu’s figure disappear and didn’t take back her gaze for a long time.
　　As soon as Ye Qiu left, Uncle Zhu and the four bodyguards knelt in front of the woman.
　　”Miss, we failed to protect you well. Please punish us.” Uncle Zhu said.
　　The woman took back her gaze and said gently： “Uncle Zhu, this is not your fault. Besides, I’m fine, aren’t I？」
　　Uncle Zhu said： “But…」
　　”Alright, all of you get up！” Although the woman’s tone was soft, it was full of an unquestionable majesty.
　　Uncle Zhu and the four bodyguards stood up.
　　”Miss, should I check the origin of these assassins？” Uncle Zhu asked.
　　”Don’t waste time on the dead.” After the woman finished speaking, she looked at the peach blossom in her hand, smiled sweetly, and turned to leave.
