Chapter 96: A Second Meeting!
After the leader made this decision, he immediately pulled the knife from Jiang Zhennan’s neck. Then, he took a few steps forward and turned around. The sharp eyes under the mask looked in the direction of the sound of horse hooves.
The man hoped for all their sake that the person would just pass by.
However, Jiang Zhennan and his men were very familiar with the sound. Their pupils shook. ‘Why is Liefeng back?’
The sound of galloping came closer, and soon, the horse appeared. However, the horse didn’t come alone. A young woman who looked around nine sat on the horse’s back. She was wearing a light green dress. She had fair skin, big eyes, delicate eyebrows, a small nose, and pink lips, and her bangs were parted to the left. Her hair was held in place by a silver pin, and her long hair fell on her shoulders.
She looked innocent, simple, refreshing, cute, and sweet.!!
The leader thought the newcomer was a martial arts master and was considering how to kill them, but it was just an innocent girl.
Jiang Zhennan’s vision was about to turn dark when he heard the footsteps of his old friend, Liefeng. Then, a blurry shadow seemed to appear in the darkness. It was Liefeng’s shadow, but straddling Liefeng was a petite figure. He was shocked. He had so many questions, but he didn’t have the strength to move his lips anymore. No matter how anxious he was, he could do nothing.
When Guo Bing and the others saw the person sitting on Liefeng, their pupils suddenly contracted violently, and their pale faces showed a surprised expression, feeling particularly incredulous.
They found the young woman to be very familiar, but they couldn’t be sure.
The person they met two months ago was just a child. Her skin was sallow and her frame was weak. But this young woman looked like she was around nine. Could a person have grown so much in the span of two months? Could a person have such immense growth in height?
The malnourished child with stick-like limbs couldn’t be compared to the young woman with rosy cheeks. But the young woman had the same facial features as the child.
Another piece of evidence was Liefeng.
Liefeng didn’t resist the young woman at all. It even let her ride on its back. Therefore, could they really be the same person? This confused Guo Bing and the rest.
Regardless, all they had was a worry for this young woman who suddenly barged in.
Little six was half-lying on the ground with a knife in his hand. His abdomen was bleeding, and his face was pale. When he saw Lin Yuelan, his eyes were filled with surprise. He raised his hand with great effort and pointed at her. He looked at Guo Bing and said suspiciously, “First lieutenant, this young woman, she…”
Guo Bing immediately shook his head at Little Six.
Little Six grasped the meaning. They couldn’t reveal their past connection with the person, or the assassins wouldn’t let her go.
Lin Yuelan rode Liefeng and leisurely went through a small path in the deep mountains and wild forests. Her eyes looked here and there as if she was very interested in the surrounding scenery.
Suddenly, when she saw a group of men in black surrounding a few people who were lying on the ground, her eyes were dazed. She looked stunned and slightly surprised.
However, the surprise only lasted for a moment. Then, she became calm and waved her hand at the men in black. She said innocently, “Hey, brothers in black, I’m just passing by. Please pretend that you don’t see me.”
Then, she patted Liefeng’s back and said, “Feng ‘Er, why did you bring me into the mountains? What if we meet some robbers? I’m just a child, so how can I beat them? I’ll be killed so that they’d be cleaned of all the witnesses!”
She said these with a very relaxed and insouciant tone.
