Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 610
Chapter 610 Turn Hostile
After Young Master Yu Mian settled Jiang’er down, he turned around and entered the temporary palace in Cangzhou City. He quickly arrived in front of a palace. Seeing that there was no one in the palace courtyard, he landed on the ground. The corner of his mouth curled into a faint mocking smile.
He went forward and knocked on the door. Hearing a “Come in” coming from inside, he walked in.
In the palace, there was already a person sitting on the first seat. The person in the lead was wearing a long blue skirt. The skirt was dragged down to the ground. There were exquisite patterns embroidered on the hem of the skirt. The woman’s face was beautiful, her eyebrows were like mountains, her eyes were like ink jade, and the corners of her lips rose slightly, outlining a faint smile.
When Xiao Yuqi saw Young Master Yu Mian, the smile at the corner of her mouth became even brighter. Only when she saw that there was no one behind Young Master Yu Mian did she frown, “Where’s Yunxiao?”
Young Master Yu Mian casually found a chair and sat down. He took a cup of tea and drank a mouthful of tea. He casually said, “I failed. I didn’t kidnap him back. I was discovered by the Swallow King, so I can only return without success.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yuqi’s expression immediately darkened. “What did you say? How did you miss? Yumian, don’t forget what you promised me!”
Young Master Yu Mian didn’t react to Xiao Yuqi’s change of face at all, but the corners of his mouth curled into a trace of mockery, “Haven’t I finished what I promised you?”
“What? You didn’t kidnap him back, how could you call him complete? I’ll give you another chance, you absolutely can’t miss next time!” Xiao Yuqi’s voice was cold and heartless.
“Empress, have you forgotten? I only told you that you can help, but it didn’t work out. Our transaction has been interrupted. From now on, I have nothing to do with you anymore.” Yu Mian coldly snorted. He placed the teacup on the table and turned around to leave.
However, just as he moved together, Xiao Yuqi smashed the cup in her hand.
At the same time, five black-clothed men surged into the palace. Each of the five black-clothed men held a sharp weapon in their hands. The sharp sword in their hands reflected an ice-cold arc under the dim yellow light and landed on Young Master Jade-Faced.
Young Master Yu Mian seemed to have predicted the outcome of this battle. He wasn’t surprised to see these black-clothed men appear, but his voice was even colder and more ruthless. “Is the Empress planning to tear her face off with me?”
Xiao Yuqi said coldly, “If you would rather use it for me, then what happened today would not have happened.”
After her voice fell, all the black-clothed men walked towards Young Master Jade-Faced, trapping him within.
However, Young Master Yu Mian did not look at these people at all. Instead, he coldly said, “Empress, let me advise you one last time. There are some things that will not always be as you wish!”
After he finished speaking, he took out a bag of medicinal powder from his bosom as fast as he could and threw it at all the black-clothed men. A strong smell filled the room in an instant. Young Master Yumian and the black-clothed men retreated as they fought. When he retreated to the door, he saw the black-clothed men who were chasing him collapse weakly.
Xiao Yuqi did not expect that her hidden guard would faint from the poison without even leaving for a single round in Young Master Yumian’s hands. Her expression became even gloomier. She coldly snorted and said sternly, “Yumian, you can’t leave here today!”
The moment her voice landed on the ground, the silver needle in Xiao Yuqi’s hand shot towards Young Master Jade Mask at the fastest speed possible.
This concealed weapon was very fast. Even though Young Master Jade-Faced had anticipated something unexpected and dodged quickly, he was still shot in the arm by a concealed weapon.
A heart-wrenching pain came from his arm. Yu Mian turned his head to look at his arm. He noticed that all the blood spilled out of the wound was black. Especially the hidden weapon that had entered half of his arm caused Young Master Yu Mian’s expression to turn slightly cold. A sharp light flashed through his pair of strange eyes. Then, he sealed off the acupoints on his arm as quickly as possible to prevent the poisonous blood from spreading from his wrist.
He glanced at Xiao Yuqi angrily. The jade-faced young master quickly turned around and rushed out of the door. He saw that the courtyard of the palace was filled with black-clothed hidden guards.
After cursing Xiao Yuqi in her heart for being despicable, she threw all the poison in her arms at the black-clothed men. In an instant, the courtyard was filled with all kinds of seven-colored gases.
Taking advantage of this gap, Young Master Jade Face quickly climbed onto the roof and used his lightning speed to fly out of the palace.
Young Master Yu Mian used his speed to the extreme. In order to prevent anyone from tracking him, Young Master Yu Mian deliberately circled around Cangzhou City for a few times before entering a residential building in Ningshui Village.
Just as he entered the mansion, Young Master Yu Mian’s expression turned ugly. His expression was also extremely ugly. He gently covered the door and leaned against the door to breathe heavily.
At this moment, Young Master Yu Mian sensed a sharp killing intent sweeping over him. Raising her head, she only saw a shadow. Then, she saw a figure already in front of her. At this moment, a sword in her hand was pointing at her neck. The sharp tip of the sword was tightly pressed against his throat. It was as if as long as he made any strange movements, the sword would pierce through his throat at at the fastest speed possible.
However, when Young Master Yu Mian saw the person holding the longsword, he only frowned and did not reveal any expression of fear. “I didn’t expect Miss Jiang’er to wake up earlier than I expected.”
Jiang ‘Er frowned in confusion. Then, a faint peculiarity was deducted from her face. The sword in her hand was even harder, and a drop of blood appeared on Young Master Yumian’s neck. “Be honest, you are in my hands now!”
However, Young Master Yu Mian still chuckled and said loudly, “Is that so? Who told you to be more honest when it falls into your hands?”
After he finished speaking, he walked into the room, as if he didn’t care about the sharp sword on his neck at all.
Especially when he had the expression of a peony blossom and a ghost, which made Jiang’er furious. The sharp sword in her hand exerted a bit of strength. Seeing a bloody scar on the man’s neck, she frowned, but she still withdrew the sword in her hand.
This action of hers made the smile on Young Master Yumian’s face even more intense. In fact, he even revealed an extremely straightforward smile on his face.
This smile made Jiang’er’s expression even more embarrassed. She only wished that she could rush forward and kill that man. However, when her gaze touched the injuries on Young Master Yumian’s arm and the dark red blood stains, her willow brows furrowed inwardly.
At this moment, a light voice rushed out of the room. She wore a light purple dress and had a sweet smile on the corner of her mouth. She was clearly only ten years old, but her face could already tell that she was a stunning beauty. However, on her delicate face, her eyes were dim.
Hearing the laughter outside, she ran out with a happy expression and said in a light voice, “Big brother, are you back?”
When Young Master Yu Mian saw this tiny figure, the corner of his mouth revealed a hint of pampering. “Yes, I’m back. Is Xiao Xi obedient?”
‘”Xi is very obedient,” she said. She listened to the commotion in the courtyard and frowned. “Brother, where is the big sister you brought back? Did you scare her away?”
“How could that be? Jiang’er is still in the courtyard,” Young Master Yumian said. He looked at Jiang’er who was standing at the door and winked at her to let her speak.
When Jiang’er saw the expression in Young Master Yu Mian’s eyes, she nodded and said, “I’m here.”
When Xiao Xi heard Jiang’er’s words, her palm-sized face immediately burst into a chuckle. “Big sister, it’s good that you didn’t leave. You don’t know that only big brother can talk to me here. Everyone else despises me for not being able to see and doesn’t want to talk to me.” As she spoke, although she tried her best to show a trace of indifference, there was still a trace of grievance and loneliness on her face.
Jiang’er was slightly stunned. She looked at the girl who was groping towards her in the courtyard. It was indeed a girl. This girl looked like she was only ten years old at best. She walked over quickly and held Xi’s hand. “I didn’t leave,” she said.
Although her voice was soft and gentle, her voice was loud and powerful.
Especially when Jiang’er looked at Xiao Xi’s face, she always felt that it looked familiar.
However, Jiang’er also knew that she had never seen a brook before.
Xiao Xi naively said, “It’s good that elder sister hasn’t left. After so many years, elder sister is the first woman who is willing to talk to me. Elder sister must be a good person.” Then, she gently pulled Jiang’er into the room.
However, Jiang’er’s hand stiffened slightly. Then, she lowered her head and looked into her own eyes. She didn’t know how many people these hands had killed or how much blood they were stained with.
Good man? I’m afraid she has nothing to do with this word for the rest of her life, right?
Young Master Yu Mian frowned when he saw that Xiao Xi had the intention to continue talking. He said softly, “Xiao Xi, it’s so late. You should go to bed now.”
“No, Xiao Xi wants to talk to her sister.” Obviously, Xiao Xi was very happy to find someone who could talk to him.
‘”No, it’s too late. You need to rest, otherwise your eyes won’t be good.” Young Master Yu Mian insisted on this matter. He wanted to curb any unfavorable factors to Xiao Xi’s eyes.
Xiao Xi curled his lips and said unwillingly, “I can’t see the reaction anymore. I’ve been treated for so long, but I can’t recover. What does it matter if I stay up late for a day?”
Hearing Xiao Xi’s words, Jiang’er frowned again. On the contrary, the voice of the jade face had a trace of threat, “Xiao Xi?”
Hearing her brother’s anger, Xiao Xi curled her lips. However, she finally let go of Jiang’er’s hand this time. She reluctantly talked to Jiang’er and then turned around to enter the room. However, before entering, Xiao Xi did not forget to turn around and look in Jiang’er’s direction. “Sister, Xiao Xi will talk to you tomorrow.”
When Xiao Xi’s voice sounded, Yu Mian coughed heavily. Xiao Xi stuck out his tongue and then slammed the door shut as if he was venting his temper.
Yu Mian turned around and looked at Jiang’er, who had a thoughtful expression, “I made you laugh.”
