Chapter 79: A Chance Encounter

The carriage swayed as it walked on the cold streets. Houses were left behind. The commotion had gradually disappeared fifteen minutes ago. It was late at night and they were getting closer and closer to leaving the Capital.

The carriage was quiet. The three of them did not speak. Yu Song was so tired that he fell asleep. Yu Wan and Yu Feng were still awake.

Ever since that conversation, Yu Wan did not say anything on the surface, but Yu Feng could feel the change in her emotions.

To be honest, he also liked those children, but they were not children from ordinary families. They were not people that families like theirs could afford to interact with. Moreover, Miss Yan was not easy to get along with. Ah Wan had rejected her time and time again. If she knew that they were so close to her sons, she would misunderstand that they had ulterior motives.

“Ah Wan…” Yu Feng finally spoke.

However, before he could finish speaking, Yu Wan’s eyes turned cold and she looked at him!

Yu Feng had never seen such a sharp gaze in Yu Wan’s eyes. His heart trembled. Just as he was about to ask Ah Wan what was wrong, he felt his body go numb. In the next second, his eyes closed and he fainted in the carriage.

Almost at the same time, Yu Song’s body sank.

There was a muffled crash outside the carriage. The coachman had obviously fallen into the carriage seat as well.

The reins were suddenly tightened, and the horse let out an uncomfortable neigh before stopping.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye.

“Who is it?” Yu Wan asked warily.

A man’s footsteps slowly walked over and stopped a few steps in front of the carriage.

The coachman and her two brothers had been knocked out, but she was the only one awake. It seemed like this person was here for her.

The other party was too fast and she could not dodge. Since that was the case, Yu Wan simply lifted the curtain openly and saw a familiar green figure.

“It’s you?”

The other party was wearing a bamboo hat and a green robe. He was carrying a long sword that was wrapped tightly. Who else could it be but the young swordsman whom she had met once in the dilapidated temple?

“Yu Zigui?” Yu Wan probed.

“You know who I am?” Yu Zigui said coldly.

Yu Wan’s expression turned indifferent. “How can I not know? Your enemies have already come looking for you. If it weren’t for my luck, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have been able to see Hero Yu.”

“They’re not my enemies,” Yu Zigui said.

Is that the main point? I was hunted down in the middle of the night because of you! Shouldn’t you at least ask me how I’m doing now? How did I escape death?

“How did you escape?” Yu Zigui asked.

“No comment,” Yu Wan said expressionlessly.

Yu Zigui’s face was covered by the shadow of the bamboo hat, so no one could see his expression. He didn’t ask further after Yu Wan didn’t say anything. Instead, he said, “The Thousand Possibilities Pavilion was destroyed. The martial world hasn’t been able to find out who did it.”

Yu Wan’s eyes froze. The Thousand Possibilities Pavilion was really destroyed? Yan Jiuchao had succeeded?

The timing was too coincidental. Yu Wan would not believe that it was not Yan Jiuchao who did it. However, he had annihilated them so flawlessly without leaving any traces. What kind of abnormal method was this?

Yu Zigui did not associate this matter with Yu Wan. He changed the topic and said, “You can return the brocade pouch to me.”

“What brocade pouch?” Yu Wan asked.

“The brocade pouch that was placed on you that day in the dilapidated temple,” Yu Zigui said.

Yu Wan’s almond-shaped eyes widened. “You really put a brocade pouch on me?”

“Yes, I did.” Yu Zigui admitted without hesitation.

Yu Wan was furious. “You bastard, do you know that you almost killed me?! I thought that I was wronged by the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion! But it turns out you really led the disaster to me! I was wondering why you were so kind! You helped me deal with the bandits and gave me food. It turns out that you schemed against me from the beginning!”

The more Yu Wan thought about it, the angrier she became. She picked up the oil lamp on the table and threw it at him.

Yu Zigui tilted his head and avoided Yu Wan’s oil lamp.

Yu Wan picked up another stool and smashed it against his bamboo hat.

He caught it with one hand and got into Yu Wan’s carriage in a flash. His powerful aura enveloped Yu Wan. “Give me the brocade pouch.”

“I don’t have it!” Yu Wan said coldly.

“I’ll say it again. Give. Me. The. Brocade. Pouch.”

“I don’t have it means that I don’t have it. No matter how many times you ask, I don’t have it!”

Indeed, she did not have it. That day, she had fled for more than ten miles in one go. Who knew if that brocade pouch had fallen somewhere halfway? Besides, even if she had it, she didn’t want to give it to this guy!

Yu Zigui said in a deep voice, “It’s not good for you to have the brocade pouch.”

Yu Wan sneered. “Now you know that it’s not good for me? Why didn’t you say so when you used me to bring the brocade pouch out?”

Yu Zigui paused. “I owe you this time. Return the brocade pouch to me.”

Yu Wan’s eyes flickered. “Then come over.”

Yu Zigui seemed to be just as the man in black had said. He did not like to be close to others and hesitated for a while before leaning towards Yu Wan.

At this moment, Yu Wan suddenly took out a handful of snowflake salt from her bag, threw it at Yu Zigui and suddenly kicked him in the stomach when he closed his eyes!

Yu Zigui was caught off guard and was kicked off the carriage.

Yu Wan quickly grabbed the coachman and sat on the carriage seat before pulling the reins. The carriage sped crazily on the silent street. Unfortunately, Yu Zigui caught up to them after a short while.

Just as Yu Zigui was about to use his qinggong to fly into Yu Wan’s carriage, a muscular figure suddenly flew down from the roof and slashed at Yu Zigui! His left hand was not idle either. He grabbed Yu Wan and threw her into another carriage.

The carriage was warm, and there was a faint fragrance floating in the air, as well as a trace of medicinal fragrance.

Yu Wan felt like she had fallen onto a pair of long legs.

Yu Wan blinked and looked up.

Yan Jiuchao’s charming face entered her line of sight without warning.

No matter how many times she saw him, she felt like she had seen him before. She looked at Yan Jiuchao, and Yan Jiuchao looked back at her, his eyes filled with arrogance.

Yu Wan cleared her throat and sat up.

The person who saved Yu Wan just now was Shadow Thirteen. Shadow Thirteen and Yu Zigui fought fiercely.

“Who are you?”

“Why do you care who my Young Master is!”

“Young Master?” Yu Zigui laughed sarcastically. “Could it be that the person in the carriage is Yan Jiuchao, the number one trash in Yan City?”

“Who are you calling trash?”

Yu Zigui said, “Isn’t that so? He had his meridians crippled at the age of seven. He couldn’t even defeat a child. If he’s not trash, what is he?”

Shadow Thirteen was furious. He suddenly used a killing move and stabbed Yu Zigui’s left arm.

Yu Wan did not know if Yan Jiuchao could defeat a child or not, but he was definitely not trash. That was because no trash could destroy the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion overnight.

Yu Wan looked at Yan Jiuchao without batting an eyelid. Yan Jiuchao’s expression was very calm, as if he did not hear Yu Zigui’s words at all.

“I advise you to stay away from Yan Jiuchao! I advise you to wake up early if you’re fearless because you have him as your backer! Hasn’t he told you that he won’t live…”

Before he could finish his sentence, Yan Jiuchao reached out with a cold gaze and grabbed the back of Yu Wan’s head, pulling her into his arms.

Yu Wan had lived for two lifetimes and had never been so intimate with a man. Just as she was about to push him away and sit up, she saw him gently press down with his other hand. Then, with a whoosh, an ice-cold iron arrow shot out from the back of her head!

Yu Wan obediently retracted her hand…

Yu Zigui was shot and fled with injuries.

Shadow Thirteen gave chase.

The surroundings suddenly fell silent without the sounds of fighting and killing.

Yu Wan did not know if he wanted to shoot a second arrow, so she obediently lay in his arms and did not move. Even when there were no more sounds of fighting and killing around them, he still did not let go of Yu Wan, and Yu Wan did not push him away.

Yu Wan almost fell asleep in his arms after an unknown period of time. She asked in a low voice, “Can I get up now?”

Yan Jiuchao let go of her.

Yu Wan’s legs were numb from maintaining this posture for too long, and she had no choice but to use leverage to sit up.

After sitting up, she felt that something was wrong.

She seemed to have pressed something she shouldn’t have—
