Su Ning apparently only walked through the narrow streets. The sun shone high in the sky and reflected on the white color of the snow under the roofs of the houses and walls.
At that time of day, the excess snow on the streets had been removed and there was already some movement of vendors. Su Ning left early and walked slowly, like someone enjoying the scenery.Generally, the doctor avoided attracting attention, although once his patients met him, they never forgot his face (The doctor's eyes are so striking and expressive, even though he only saw it once and partially, Qiang Yong never forgot him!😅). However, when necessary, he managed to attract a lot of public attention.
The few people who were working in the region stopped what they were doing to admire the beauty passing by. Some even recognized him from the night before and waved in hopes of getting a look. Su Ning had his parasol and waved back gently and courteously, smiling kindly. Ren Loo and An Shu were discreetly accompanying him across the rooftops, without heels they were as soft and silent as Su Ning's footsteps.
Ren Loo whispered softly to the snake: "He does very well in this role, hehe. She seems like a very classy woman."
An Shu rubbed his cold hands, like a cold-blooded yao he was hating the icy wind from the roof. "I think it's weird seeing him like this. I can't get used to it.""Can't you get used to seeing a beautiful woman, A-Shu?" Ren Loo smiled provocatively.
The snake turned red with embarrassment and looked away.
"I mean... Dr. Su is a man, I'm used to seeing him like this. Shouldn't we have waited for the emperor?" He decided to change the subject.
"What's there to fear? We both can handle any yao here pretty well. And even if we weren't here, Dr. Su isn't really a helpless lady. Haven't you seen him fight?""Hmm... It's just that we don't know who we're dealing with..."
"Anyway, my brother won't be long. Although we might as well resolve this first. See, he took a more isolated path. But it's a bit of a tight place to fight, both for him and for the killer... although here on the roof there are more advantages."
"It would be unpleasant if it was a real date." An Shu muttered."If it's a harmless encounter... I'd like to see how Su Ning would get out of this." Ren Loo laughed softly, sitting under the tiles she was relaxed as she wore her usual clothes and black boots.
Su Ning was slowly progressing, choosing the emptiest streets in a carefree manner, consulting a map as if she was unfamiliar with the area. It was a perfect farce.Ren Loo had to admit that her brother chose someone of her height. Intelligent, beautiful, gentle, kind... Then she noticed a strange movement behind the doctor. She licked her dry lips. Didn't the killer really fall for the play?
The figure snuck up behind the woman, almost imperceptible to a person's ordinary gaze. Ren Loo was holding his breath, waiting.It could be a false alarm. However, when Su Ning turned into one of the alleys, the figure moved quickly, he was wearing qinggong and the glow of a dagger appeared from his sleeve. Ren Loo and An Shu jumped to the ground at the same speed, but it would not be fast enough to prevent the doctor from being injured if he was caught off guard. The figure had raised the dagger and aimed to hit the carotid artery, but the fatal blow was blocked by the umbrella, which the doctor closed at the same moment that his throat was almost hit.
Wow, beautiful reflections! Ren Loo sighed in relief. Qiang Yong would be disappointed in her if the doctor came out of this mess even with a scratch. The figure found itself cornered, that woman was not an unprepared person and even came with two other guardians! The suspect suddenly realized that everything was planned, but with no survivors, how could his strategy have been discovered???
The killer was tall and strong, his face was covered with black cloth, with only his eyes visible. With both exits blocked, he deftly jumped the walls of the wall, gaining momentum to jump to the opposite roof. Ren Loo exclaimed irritably. Su Ning didn't wait for the others' reaction, repeating the gesture, he ran after the man. The two yao realized that their reactions were very slow and they tried to do the same.
They quickly caught up to the two. The killer saw that running away was not his best option, so he turned, throwing steel needles towards his pursuers. Su Ning did not stop at this distraction, he opened his parasol and swung it, stopping the needles that got stuck in the fabric and were thrown sideways in a single movement. The man couldn't help but let out a growl. How did he not suspect it before?
Furthermore, it is clear that a woman skilled with fans like that was proficient in martial arts. But even to master an umbrella like that was incredible! However, now he had to lose them. He turned around, pulling two more daggers from his sleeves to face the enemy head on.
"Ah! How abusive!" Ren Loo withdrew his sword and leaping in front of Su Ning blocked the two daggers. Ren Loo smiled mischievously, she was having a lot of fun with this. By this person's strength, he was a human! Well, well, who would have thought!The man's figure dispersed into several clones, attacking her simultaneously. The strikes were then swept away by a long sparkling tail. An Shu had transformed into his longer body, intervening in the fight. Su Ning raised his eyebrows in surprise, he was not just a human, he was a cultivator!
He also realized in time that one of the clones had fled, leaving them too many to fight for him.He went after the latter, the real murderer, now very angry. A dark idea crossed his mind and he didn't believe it could be true. He needed to capture this person alive. The man saw that someone was still following him and cursed. He increased his speed, running with all his strength, with Su Ning close behind him, practically catching him. How could this woman also use qinggong?
He thought and in a last act of desperation he threw a small, dark, glowing ball against the roof behind him that exploded as it collided with the tiles. With the speed they were going at, at the very least the pursuer would not have been able to avoid the hole. Su Ning ended up falling not directly but as he retreated, the entire roof structure was shaken and gave way beneath his feet. He expected to fall onto the jagged wooden debris, but strong hands grabbed him by the torso and the back of the knees, as if carrying a princess.
He felt himself being pressed tightly against this person's chest, to the point where he felt his heart beating hard. The person barely touched the broken tiles and jumped out, still holding him tight. There was a lot of dust from the rubble and Su Ning couldn't see clearly. However, he recognized the familiar smell from last night, of wildflowers. Qiang Yong!
