Chapter 196: Chapter 195: Take Action, Pan’er is in Danger_1

Heaven is indeed on my side!

Upon hearing from the secret guards that no one was around, Eighth Master was ecstatic. The unexpected disappearance of the two secret guards he had sent to eliminate Su Pan’er had concerned him. Did Su Pan’er have a powerful ally behind her? He wanted to investigate the situation before coming up with a good plan, but he found that an opportunity had presented itself unexpectedly.

Su Pan’er had thrown herself into the net, and there was no trace of the so-called powerful ally, if there was ever a better time to strike, it would be right now!

Just as he was about to signal his subordinates to take action, Su Yue’er, standing next to him, suddenly spoke.

"These words of yours, Fourth Younger Sister, are really making Second Elder Sister uncomfortable. To think that I’ve been picky about my food on usual days, I shouldn’t have been!"

Su Yue’er frowned slightly, tears welling up in her eyes, appearing genuinely distressed.

"Fourth Younger Sister, it’s truly unfortunate that you had to suffer. As soon as Second Elder Sister returns home, I’ll send someone to bring you some food immediately. Don’t worry, as long as Second Elder Sister has something to eat, she will never let you starve!"

In response to her words, Eighth Master was dumbfounded! What kind of act was Yue’er putting up this time?

"I appreciate the kind intention of my Second Cousin."

Su Pan’er gave a significant smile: "Su Pan’er is not willing to live on the charity of others since she’s able-bodied. By the way, I have a question, but I’m not sure if I should ask it or not?"

"If Fourth Sister has anything to say, just say it straight. After all, we’re good sisters, aren’t we?"

Su Yue’er’s face was mild.

"The other day when I returned to the Su Family, I noticed that Fifth Cousin Sister seemed to be wronged."

Smiling softly, Su Pan’er said: "Fifth Cousin Sister usually follows you everywhere, but she is nowhere to be seen today. Is it in any way related to my Second Cousin?"

Eighth Master was utterly perplexed; these two didn’t seem like they held deep resentment against each other, but seemed to have deep sisterly affection instead, didn’t they?

What in the world was going on?

How was he supposed to take action now?

It was truly "stirring up the pot", hearing Su Pan’er mention Su Xian’er, Su Yue’er felt a prick of pain in her heart!

With Su Xian’er’s actions these last few days, she had indeed lost all previous affection for her. And it was all because of that hideous creature, Su Pan’er! The thought filled Su Yue’er’s eyes with rage!

This ugly girl, Su Pan’er, seemed to have been born to wreck her, Su Yue’er’s life!

She had the urge to slap her across the face!

But with Qin Yi right in front of her eyes, she could only suppress the rage deep into her heart. Her nails dug deep into her palms, and a trickle of blood dripped down the edges, but she felt no pain.

Trying to suppress her anger, she giggled, her laughter causing her body to quiver, her coquettish charm captivating: "Fourth Younger Sister, what a strange thing to say! Fifth Sister is able-bodied, how could Second Elder Sister have bound and restricted her? Third Young Master Qin, you tell me, isn’t that right?"

The coy glance she threw at Qin Yi made his skin crawl, causing him to frown involuntarily.

"Second Miss Su is indeed correct here."

Qin Yi promptly turned his head away: "However Qin Yi is Second Miss Su’s Fourth Younger Brother-in-law. I really can’t bear to be addressed as Third Young Master Qin."

Su Yue’er’s smile suddenly froze on her face!

From getting to know Qin Yi to their engagement, she had always called him Third Young Master Qin. Even when she had repented and had her cousin step in for the marriage, Qin Yi had never shown any kind of displeasure before. This rebuke was the very first of its kind!

A sudden wave of embarrassment hit her, causing her eyes to well up with tears. A delicate look of distress crossed her face: "Third... Master Qin, did someone stir up trouble? It’s just a form of address, why would you..."

As she spoke, tears overflowed from her eyes, portraying a touching scene of a lady shedding beautiful tears.

Su Pan’er had witnessed the entire scene unfold before her eyes.

Her eyes were filled with rage!

Dare she covet her, Su Pan’er’s man? She had no shame!

"Second Cousin, I am afraid I must disagree with you on that point. Even though it is just a form of address, ultimately we are cousins, and it would be best if we clearly define our relationships with each other. Otherwise, given small-town attitudes, we may inadvertently create some unnecessary misunderstandings."

As she was speaking, she glanced at Eighth Master.

The Eighth Master’s face had a significant change!

As the leader of the secret guards, excluding his own background and Seventh Master’s favor, he must certainly be no fool. He was just blinded by Su Yue’er before. Now seeing Su Yue’er looking at Qin Yi with affectionate eyes, what was left for him not to understand?

A surge of anger bubbled in his heart!

"Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding could there be? Hmph!"

When he turned around, however, he noticed a drop of fresh blood staining Su Yue’er’s hanging sleeve. Suddenly, he understood somewhat. It seemed these sisters were both putting on an act!

His face darkened, and he flung back his sleeve forcefully!

Seeing his move, the secret guards rushed to surround Su Pan’er.

Initially, Su Pan’er shared a smile with Su Yue’er, going along with her act. The sudden encirclement left her expression frosted over. These men were tenacious!

She had anticipated that they would not let things end easily, but she did not expect them to make their move so audaciously in broad daylight.

"Qin Yi, retreat quickly, move further away, don’t come near!"

"Pan’er, what’s wrong? Are you saying they’re going to..."

Qin Yi was taken aback.

"Yes."

Su Pan’er nodded seriously, her eyes never leaving the secret guards as they swiftly advanced: "I may not be able to keep an eye on you in the ensuing fight. Remember, looking after yourself is the greatest help you could give me."

"I understand."

Qin Yi acknowledged her words, his eyes quickly scanning the ground. Then, he retreated behind a large tree, picking up some stones from the ground as he did so.

Seeing this, Su Pan’er discarded her basket backpack and brandished her firewood knife with a missing tip.

"Get them! Deal with that little bitch and pretty boy together! The Eighth Master will take responsibility for any mess. Go! Are you all starved?"

The Eighth Master barked, his face twisted with cruelty!

The secret guards immediately launched forward.

Qin Yi shouted furiously: "Eighth Master, under this broad daylight, you dare commit such a murder. Have laws ceased to exist?"

"Laws? In this small rural place, my word is the law!"

The Eighth Master roared with laughter: "Besides, you are suspected of harboring a criminal wanted by the Imperial Court. Killing you would only get me a reward from the Imperial Court. They would present me with a huge shiny silver bounty. Brothers, tear them to pieces!"

"Yes!"

The secret guards resonated in unison, charging forward with their weapons drawn.

Su Pan’er twirled her firewood knife with quick precision, creating flurries of bladed blossoms, forcing the advancing guards to retreat.

However, the secret guards had superior weapons which the already broken firewood knife could hardly withstand, leaving only the handle after a few exchanges.

"So that’s how the Eighth Master works! ’To find a pretext to harm someone’ indeed! Tsk, tsk!"

Su Pan’er clicked her tongue in reproach. She discarded the knife handle and swung the basket backpack she picked from the ground, creating gusts of wind.

The weapons of the secret guards slashed through the basket backpack in one blow, reducing it to shreds.

Seeing the situation turn grim, Su Pan’er rolled swiftly down the hillside to avoid capture.

Several secret guards promptly lunge at her.

Su Pan’er kicked a small tree clean off its base, held onto it, and swung it around to fend off the subsequent attacks from the guards.

However, the small tree rapidly got sliced into a foot-long length by the guards’ weapons, making the situation increasingly dire.

"Eighth Master, you murder innocents without restraint. Do you not fear someone reporting this to the authorities?"

Seeing Su Pan’er in danger, Qin Yi could not help but shout once more.

"I initially planned on killing one person, but now that you’ve come rushing to your death, you can hardly blame anyone."

The Eighth Master’s wicked grin revealed his yellow plated teeth, making him look even more hideous under the sunlight: "Besides, there’s not a soul, living or dead, around here. If I kill you now, who’s to see? Haha..."
