Fingernails are buttoned into the dirt, and now the only way is to resist to death.

Even though I know it's a pointless act, unless a miracle happens or their conscience finds out, it's doomed.

The dagger was raised high and slammed into my heart.

The moment the tip of the knife fell, he raised his hand and slashed it, but the man seemed to have seen through it a long time ago, and kicked my hand away with a single kick.

The wrist suffered severe pain, and the whole person fell to the ground.

"Boom-" The dagger landed and stuck in the ground at his side. And the man with the dagger has a piercing arrow around the neck.

The bleak moonlight was hazy, and someone came on horseback, and the shadows were blurred, galloping like the wind.

The people on the horse rushed straight at them, and they were caught off guard and confused.

I struggled to my feet, picked up the dagger on the ground and slashed sharply in the panicked air, blood splattered, and he fell to his knees clutching his throat.

The rider reached out and took me on horseback, and before they could react, he whipped up the hill.

Smelling the fragrance of tranquil tea in the wind, the slightest wisp is reassuring.

The last time I was in Linzi Town, he also took me to escape from the chase like this. That illusion of isolation is pieced together into a beautiful moment in a memory.

I rested my head on his back, and even though the road was a bumpy ride, I could feel a moment of peace.

"Hey." I tapped him on the shoulder, but he just focused on riding the horse and didn't respond.

"You said you saved me to get close to the Night Pavilion, but now?" I don't give up, I have to put it in his ear and ask for an answer.

In response to me, except for the sound of the howling wind, only the sound of the branches swaying.

Liu Sujin, Liu Sujin, when did you become so irrational and ask such a stupid question.

With a light sigh, he looked back at the men and horses chasing behind him.

"No one can hurt you but me." His tone is calm and low, blending into the silent night.

It wasn't the answer I wanted, but for him, being able to say it was a big concession.

Suddenly the horse stopped abruptly and stopped moving.

"What's wrong?"

After a long time, he replied, "It's a dead end." ”

In front of it is a fractured cliff, and there are no side roads to the left and right.

With a cliff in front and a pursuer behind, we are facing a dead end.

Beiyu Jinchen got off the horse. His forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and his lips were pale. The blood on the wound on his waist had soaked the robe.

I tried to hold him up, but he stood up on his own. "You get on the horse now, I'll lead them away, and you go in the opposite direction."

"No, you have injuries on your body, and you can't fight them at all." I tried to plead my case, but he almost turned a deaf ear and put his crossbow on my back.

"Reinforcements are in the back, and it won't take long to arrive." He said it lightly, but I knew he wouldn't make it that far.

He's always been a man of his own strategy, and any more I would say it would only cause trouble.

Turning over and getting on the horse, the reins remain warm. Whipping up and galloping, he met the men and horses who came to him, and as they formed an encirclement, Beiyu Jinchen's long sword slashed their horses' bellies, opening a gap in the encirclement.

The horses quickened, and finally left them far behind.

For a moment, it occurred to me that if he died like this, it would be a great thing for the Night Pavilion.

But...... Can I do it? Can you owe a favor with such a dirty purpose that I can never pay off?

No, I can't.

"Phew—" turned the horse's head and ran towards the mountain.

Under the siege of everyone, he landed on one knee and no longer had the strength to get up. Strands of hair stained with blood fluttered in the night wind.

Drawing his bow and taking the arrows, three arrows pierced the air and stabbed three of them into their kneecaps, forcing them to kneel on one knee like him.

Stopping beside him, I didn't have a single arrow left in my hand, and this time I really pushed myself to a dead end.

"I am the one you are going to kill."

They looked at each other and hesitated.

Beiyu Jinchen wiped away the dirty blood from his mouth with the back of his hand, and a smile appeared. "You always have to do things that aren't planned."

"Because of you, it's the unplanned mistake."

Step by step, step by step.

As soon as my feet were empty, the whole person fell back uncontrollably, but fortunately, Beiyu Jinchen grabbed me in time.

When I looked down, there was nothing but the abyss and the rocks that kept rolling down.

"It's really touching, they all say that they fly separately when the catastrophe comes, do you have to stage a peacock flying southeast? Then we will do it. They brandished their swords and rushed quickly.

"Su Jin."

"Huh?" While I was trying to figure out how to fight back, I was secretly anxious about why reinforcements hadn't arrived yet. Suddenly, I heard him call my name, and I was a little surprised.

He almost never called me like that, and every time he was either the pavilion master or the brocade girl, or he didn't call me at all.

"Do you believe me?"

I felt even more confused, so I could only vaguely respond.

Before I could finish speaking, he suddenly grabbed me and jumped off the cliff, and the sound of the wind poured into my ears, and I closed my eyes and did not dare to look.

"Don't be afraid."

Just two words calmed all the restless emotions.

Even if it is an abyss, I don't feel fear at this time.
