Heart Protection (Back from the Brink)

CHAPTER 39

Feng Ming's sharp gaze swept over the courtyard. He turned to the servant: "Where are they?"

The servant looked all around: "Strange......I just told two guardsmen to come here and assess the situation. How come they aren't here?"

Feng Ming's eyes slightly narrowed when he heard that. He looked around the entire courtyard and then waved his hand to beckon another guard forward: "Get this courtyard surrounded."

Yan Hui immediately lightly nudged Tian Yao with her elbow. She quietly whispered into his ear: "In a moment, I'm going to draw their attention. You take this opportunity while the courtyard isn't completely surrounded to find your dragon horns."

Yan Hui said those words so matter-of-factly. Truthfully, Tian Yao was already growing accustomed to this kind of planning. Because Yan Hui had magic now, she wanted to become stronger. She was more likely to face troublesome situations head-on. So of course, the dangerous matters should be left to her.

But when carefully thinking it over, this wasn't the proper nor right way. It wasn't right for the strong be placed in danger for the weak. Yan Hui did this because that was what Yan Hui wanted to do. She wanted to.......protect people.

Or in other words, protect him.

Tian Yao's gaze slightly faltered.

Yan Hui had already used the Escape Earth Technique to leap out. All of a sudden, she landed in the courtyard's southeast corner, which just happened to be opposite of where she came from. Yan Hui laughed: "Looking for someone? Looking for me?"

For a moment, everyone's eyes were drawn over to Yan Hui. Tian Yao didn't hesitate. With a flip of his body, he vaulted over the wall.

Yan Hui didn't even look at Tian Yao. She directly started talking to Feng Ming: "Master Feng Ming, I've been looking forward to meeting you."

Feng Ming's dark gaze locked onto Yan Hui. Suddenly his lips quirked into a sneer. That sneer combined with his aquiline nose made him seem especially sinister and treacherous: "Insect, trying to trick me?"

Feng Ming didn't finish talking when he thrust out his arm. There was only a "boom". The wall that Tian Yao had just flipped over was struck by Feng Ming's aura. It immediately collapsed.

Yan Hui was stunned. Her body flashed. She immediately threw herself over there and rushed straight into the dust cloud.

Waiting for the dust to settle, Yan Hui dragged Tian Yao back three steps to just outside the rubble area. She stood in front of Tian Yao to block him and somberly looked at Feng Ming.

When all was said and done, Qi Jue Group's second-in-command was well seasoned after encountering many challenging matters in the jianghu. Although he didn't practice xian cultivation, an ordinary person's martial arts can be cultivated into a strong inner power. Let alone a disciple who just entered a xian sect, even Yan Hui's shifus might to only be able to draw with Feng MIng.

The situation wasn't good.

"This silly little girl has some skill." Feng Ming darkly laughed. "From your inner breath's technique, you're actually a xian cultivator. Tell me, which sect's disciple are you, daring to come to my domain with ill-intention?"

Yan Hui smiled with narrowed eyes. Outwardly, she seemed calm and collected, but her back was covered in nervous sweat. It was just a brief moment of martial arts, yet he was able to tell she was from a xian sect, and not from a wulin group. It was a good thing she didn't perform any other moves. Otherwise, Feng Ming would see she was from Chen Xing Mountain, which would bring even more trouble.
