Clouds and Moon Shadow

Chapter 424 Silver-Masked Asura, who is he?

So, Gu Qingyue's first pill bounced near the female guard on the roof.

After a few moments, the female guard leaned against the roof ridge and fell asleep.

The second ball bounced onto a soft chair next to Protector Najin inside the room. Protector Najin was still sitting at the table, looking at a piece of paper in his hand.

Gu Qingyue looked at it; it contained some strange symbols, and she didn't know what they meant.

But we can't worry about that now. We need to get the person away first, and then we'll find out the truth through interrogation.

One cup of tea's time passed, then two cups of tea's time passed.

Gu Qingyue: ......

Gu Qingyue only saw that Protector Jin shook his head, but did not fall asleep as Gu Qingyue had imagined; instead, he remained awake.

Gu Qingyue wanted to rub her forehead.

This is her latest sedative drug! Did Protector Jin take some kind of sedative? Why isn't it working on her?

Gu Qingyue stroked her chin, pondering the strangeness.

Recalling the last time in the cave, her sleeping potion seemed to have limited effect on Yu Ennan.

Gu Qingyue had some guesses. Could it be that the people from the Wizard's Hall had taken some kind of secret medicine? Were they immune to sleeping pills?

The next moment, Gu Yuanen landed beside her. "How are you?"

Gu Qingyue rubbed her forehead and pointed inside the room, "They're still awake."

Gu Yuanen was dumbfounded. He had just gone to the front yard and quickly knocked everyone down. He thought his little sister had succeeded.

"Let's take a hard line!" Gu Qingyue patted Gu Yuanen's shoulder. "You handle the one in the tree."

Since the pills on the tree were not easy to stay on, they left one conscious guard and handed him over to Gu Yuanen to handle.

After speaking, Gu Qingyue flew into the house.

In an instant, the sounds of fighting rang out, and Gu Qingyue's twin swords moved like dragons emerging from the water, swift and fierce!

Gu Yuanen originally wanted to say that he would take care of the one inside the house, but his little sister's ability to act was... too scary!

The next instant, the female guard heard the sounds of fighting and immediately flew down, only to have her path blocked by Gu Yuanen's longsword.

Inside the room, Protector Na Jin coldly stared at the young man before him and shouted sharply, "Who are you?"

Gu Qingyue smiled wickedly, "The one who'll take your life!"

After saying that, Gu Qingyue rushed forward again. In less than seventy or eighty moves, Protector Jin revealed a flaw and was kicked away by Gu Qingyue, crashing into a table and chair. He spat out a mouthful of blood, and the sword in his hand clattered to the ground.

Gu Qingyue immediately placed her short sword against her neck.

He swiftly reached out and pressed the woman's pressure points.

The woman was unable to move, only glaring at the boy in front of her with resentful eyes.

Speaking of which, Protector Jin's martial arts skills are quite impressive!

If I hadn't practiced the willow-leaf double swords diligently over the past few months and learned the old monk's signature grappling technique, I might not have been able to defeat her so quickly.

Seeing the woman's defiant expression, Gu Qingyue smiled sarcastically, "Save your breath, tell me, what do you want to do in the Great Chu?"

Gu Qingyue originally planned to get rid of her without anyone noticing, and find out their mission in Da Chu and why they wanted to capture her. However, the sleeping potion was ineffective, so she had no choice but to take action.

See, the drug didn't work, so I'll just have to suffer the physical pain.

Gu Qingyue remained completely unmoved as blood gushed from the woman's mouth.

Her original intention in establishing the Moon Shadow Pavilion was to deal with the Nanzhao people.

These sneaky people from the Wizarding Temple must be here to do bad things in the Great Chu. How can we let them go?

The woman sneered, "Don't even think about getting anything from me."

"Come in," Gu Qingyue called out to the door.

Hearing the sound, Gu Yuanen dragged a woman in with one hand and walked in.

It was the female guard hiding in the tree.

"Will you talk or not? If you don't, I'll ask her," Gu Qingyue turned to look at the dying woman, her lips twitching. Her fourth brother hadn't held back.

Well done!

"Hmph! What do they know? These ants are not worthy of knowing," Protector Jin glanced contemptuously at the woman in Gu Yuanen's hands and sneered.

"Is that so? Then you'll have to tell me," Gu Qingyue said, not annoyed at all. There are always people in this world who know, like the black-clad female guard who went out on business.

Gu Qingyue felt that the woman's status must be quite high, and she must be different from the female guards in the courtyard.

Upon hearing Gu Qingyue's words, the woman turned her face away with a cold smile, refusing to look at her.

Gu Qingyue became even more interested. This was a subconscious evasive action, which meant the mission was very important, and she needed to know about it.

Gu Qingyue looked around and picked up the paper the woman had been reading from the wreckage of the table and chairs.

"What are all those circles on this paper?" Gu Qingyue waved the paper in front of her face.

The paper had more than a dozen circles of varying sizes drawn on it, and inside each circle were strange symbols that Gu Qingyue had never seen before.

Upon seeing the paper extended in front of him, Protector Jin's eyes narrowed, and he turned his face to the other side, not daring to look at the paper at all.

"Ha!" Gu Qingyue chuckled mockingly, folded the paper, put it into the hidden pocket on her chest, and patted it.

The woman panicked. She looked up at Gu Qingyue's face, trying to see the boy's eyes beneath the silver mask, but they were as deep as the sea, and she couldn't see through them.

"Who exactly are you?" the woman's icy voice rang out.

"Telling you won't hurt. Have you ever heard of the ruthless Silver-Masked Asura? That's me," Gu Qingyue said with her nose in the air.

After saying that, he stretched out his short sword and pressed it against the woman's neck. A trickle of blood immediately spurted out, staining the sword red.

The woman let out a muffled groan, her body trembling.

She had never heard of any Silver-Masked Asura, or who was he?

At this moment, she was on edge. She took a deep breath and looked at Gu Qingyue again.

"Lord Shura, I have no grudge against you! Why did you have to kill me?"

The woman attempted to save herself.

Gu Qingyue pursed her lips. Look, she's really scared!

She didn't see that Gu Yuanen behind her had already lost his composure, his shoulders trembling.

Gu Yuanen said that he wanted to endure it, but he couldn't!

This little sister is so clever; she can spout nonsense so easily. Silver-masked Asura? What the hell is that?

"No enmity? Just because you're from Nanzhao, I can kill you," Gu Qingyue pressed her sword down again.

"My lord, spare me!" The woman's voice suddenly became affected, soft and coquettish.

Gu Qingyue shuddered. What the hell!

"Stop thinking up any tricks. Tell me, what do you want to do in Great Chu?" Gu Qingyue asked again.

The woman then began to sob.

Gu Qingyue: ...This is really a ghost!

With a flick of her other hand, the female guard in Gu Yuanen's arms was pierced right through!

"Ah------" The woman screamed in fright at Gu Qingyue's sudden move, and then her voice stopped abruptly.

Gu Yuanen's sleeve was sprayed with a large patch of blood. He rolled his eyes and threw the woman away.

A sharp glare flew towards Gu Qingyue's back, towards his clothes!

Gu Qingyue declared, "If you can't see it, then it doesn't exist!"

It was a quarter of an hour later when the two came out of the courtyard.

Gu Yuanen stared intently at Gu Qingyue's profile. "Are you still angry?"
