Chapter 27: The Arrival of Shadow Guard (First Push for Support)

  Jiuying felt very surprised at this sudden attack and immediately counterattacked.

  Murong Zi's swift attack was aimed at the man's lower body, but his reaction was truly terrifying. He had already sensed her movement and hastily dodged it, quickly grasping Murong Zi's wrist.

  Suddenly, Jiu Ying felt danger and quickly let go of Murong Zi's hand, pushing him away. Several silver needles were nailed to the wall behind him.

  Who is this woman? Jiuying became vigilant, his legs carrying a strong wind towards Murong Zi, Murong Zi hastily retreated, but was disturbed by the strong wind and fell to the ground. Fortunately, there was a bed behind him, if he had fallen to the ground, he might have been seriously injured.

  She is now too weak in this body, and this man is also very strong and fierce.

  Murong Zi's wrist moved, and the small number of silver needles were all launched. However, this man's speed was incredibly fast, and after dodging her silver needles, he quickly pressed down on Murong Zi, with a dagger pressed against her neck. "Don't move..."

  "Who are you?" Murong Zi asked coldly, such a small place actually has such an expert, and still in her home, to say it's a coincidence, she absolutely doesn't believe it, probably someone from that place was sent to kill her?

  After the housekeeper left, she thought that she had been too quiet and still, but people like her were almost dead. The Murong family's people shouldn't have been worried, yet they actually sent an assassin to kill her. She really underestimated how ruthless and poisonous the Murong family was.

  "Mom, what's wrong? Why didn't you turn on the light." Zi Meng, who was outside, couldn't help but hear the commotion inside and walked in to turn on the light.

  "Bad guys, let go of my mom!" Chu Zi Mo rushed over quickly, Jiu Ying was shocked that this little kid had such fast speed. When Chu Zi Mo rushed over, he prepared to block him, but instead, Chu Zi Mo threw out a medicinal powder and retreated to a safe distance.

  He has a sense of self-awareness, even his mother can't handle him, so he must be careful. These medicinal powders were made by his mother to protect herself from him, although she doesn't know what effect this package will have, it should be useful.

  What kind of medicine powder was this? Just as Jiuying was about to split his spirit, Murong Zi took the dagger out of his hand and sealed that person up.

  "Who are you?" Jiuying sized up the girl in front of him, her delicate features, especially those grey-purple eyes were exceptionally beautiful, something he had never seen before. Although her face was not particularly striking, her calm demeanor sent shivers down his spine, it was not something a girl should possess.

  She had such skills for her own purposes, and the nine shadows' icy face changed color with spiritual power. A pressing aura spread around her.

  Murong Zi finally got a clear look at the man's appearance, and had to say that this killer was really good-looking. His facial features were deep and angular, with sharp edges and corners, and his jet-black eyes emitted a cold glint like the night sky, exuding an aura of "do not approach" from head to toe.

  But good looks can't be eaten as rice, she wanted to kill him, what could have spared her, when Murong Zi was about to make a move, this person unexpectedly pulled out a short knife from somewhere and pressed it against her abdomen.

  The situation was at a stalemate, and Zi Mian's heart was racing with anxiety. He hesitated about whether to take action, and cried out in concern: "Mom..."

  Murong Ziming immediately stopped him. Murong had no problem dealing with ordinary people, but this man was not easy to deal with. She was sure that he hadn't used his full strength earlier, and that's why she was able to subdue him, probably because he underestimated her.

  "Who are you? Why are you here?" He wasn't a killer, of course he wouldn't kill casually, he had to ask clearly before killing.

  "I'd like to ask who you are! What are you doing in my house?" Murong Zi was taken aback, wasn't he sent to kill her? How could he not know who the target was?

  He looked at Murong Zi, his thin lips pursed slightly, silent for a moment, before continuing to ask coldly: "Who are you?"

  "I am Murong Zi." Murong Zi found out that it might be his own mistake.

  Murong Zi, Jiu Ying looked at Murong Zi with a responsible gaze, then withdrew the short sword that threatened him at an unimaginable speed, allowing himself to be threatened by the dagger in his hand. Murong Zi was taken aback, what did this mean?

  "You are..." Murong Zishi didn't relax in the slightest, being cautious of a trap.

  "I am Jiu Ying, I was sent by the master of the Murong family to be your Shadow Guard." Jiu Ying replied stiffly.

  "Ying Wei, what evidence do you have?" asked Murong Zi.

  Evidence, none, because Wei only needed to be in the dark, no need for her to find out, but unexpectedly he was discovered by her as soon as he reached his destination.

  Isn't the eldest daughter of the Murong family a waste? The master of the Murong family also asked him to come out of the mountain because she was too wasteful. Just now, her move didn't look like a waste at all, and she looked very different from the photo.

  Although they look similar in terms of figure and facial features, their temperament and spiritual appearance are completely different.

  "I have come under the orders of Master Murong to protect the young mistress of the Murong family. If you don't believe me, you can ask Master Murong himself." Jiu Ying said.

  Murong Zi knew that his words might be true, because he put away the short knife, and after confirming her identity, the killing intent on him also disappeared. Murong Zi threw the dagger to one side and said: "Shadow Guard, I don't need you." Murong Zi coldly said, Shadow Guard, that is a dark power that has always existed in the ancient imperial family and large families of Huaxia Country, responsible for the safety of the master, executing assassinations, protection, surveillance and other tasks, existing like shadows.

  However, she didn't need that, nor did she want to be monitored every move of hers at all times, nor did she want everything about her to be known by the master of the Murong family.

  Upon hearing this, the temperature of Jiu Ying's icy face seemed to drop by several dozen degrees, chilling to the bone. Someone actually didn't need their Shadow Clan's Shadow Guards; many ancient martial families and aristocratic families had begged for their Shadow Clan's Shadow Guards, but they hadn't agreed, and if not for the Mu Rong family head making a move, he wouldn't have come out of seclusion either. Yet this woman was saying she didn't need them?

  Suddenly, Jiu Ying disappeared in front of Murong Zi, Murong Zi was stunned, where did he go? Could it be that he was driven away so easily.

  Just as Murong Zi felt no aura from Jiu Ying, he suddenly appeared and pinned her down, "Are you so weak that you don't need anyone to protect you? Do you know how many people in the Murong family want you dead?" He thought Murong Zi was an ordinary person, when she came in there was no way to hide, once she hid, her current strength would not be detected by him.

  Is this Shadow Wei's capability? His hiding ability is too strong.

  Just as Murong Zi was shocked, Jiuying suddenly felt a burning sensation all over her body, pinned Murong Zi under her and asked: "Damn it, what kind of medicine did you take?"
