In order to recuperate Su Xixue's injuries, Xiao Yan rested at the couple's house for almost a month.

Perhaps out of fear, or perhaps out of morality, the couple did not uncover the wanted warrant to denounce the two.

During this period, Xiao Yan disguised himself many times and searched around Yuezhou City for news of Qi Zehui and Zhou Yun, but found nothing.

Maybe they should have escaped without incident?" Xiao Yan comforted himself in his heart.

But the increasing number of Jianghu guests in the city made him realize that he was afraid that the secret about that thing had been leaked, and if he stayed in Yuezhou for a moment longer, the danger would be a little more.

At this time, the ferry, the post house, and the inn have been firmly controlled by the people of the Huanglong Gang, and if you want to send Su Xixue back to Wudang by car and boat, it is tantamount to throwing yourself into a net.

After some deliberation, Xiao Su and the others decided to get the drawings back from the hiding place before making the next move.

On this night, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and there was no one around, Xiao Su and the others were dressed in night clothes, and they shuttled between the houses and buildings quickly and secretly, and ran straight to the north of the city.

There was no one around, the silence was terrifying, and the two of them were nervous and didn't dare to come out, and when they looked at each other, they could hear each other's heartbeats. If it weren't for the chirping of a few old owls from time to time in the night, it would really be like walking on the lifeless Yellow Spring Road in the underworld.

The two of them lightly came to the outside of a small land temple, exchanged gestures, and finally decided that Xiao Yan would let the wind go outside the door, and Su Xixue would go in to get the thing.

After a while, Su Xixue pushed open the door and walked out, nodding at Xiao Yan, the two were just about to leave, when they suddenly heard a sound of breaking wind from all around.

Several masked men, also dressed in night clothes, jumped out of the darkness around them and surrounded the two of them, and one of the leaders stepped forward and spoke:

"Hand over the stuff!"

Xiao Su and the two glanced at each other, and each opened a posture to exchange hands with the masked people.

Su Xixue saw that the other party was overwhelmed, and immediately pulled out the sword at her waist, the sword was like a rainbow, forcing the enemy to retreat again and again.

"Don't kill them!" the four masked men stepped back together and whispered to each other. After that, he took out the soft whip and short blade, stepped forward again, surrounded Su Xixue, did not take the initiative to attack, but just set aside the latter's offensive, and then slowly narrowed the encirclement, intending to capture him.

Seeing that Su Xixue was in critical condition, Xiao Yan immediately made a move to shake away the two people beside him, and quickly rushed to the latter to help.

But the masked people obviously didn't have such a good temper towards him, and immediately threw out their hands and used poisonous darts and throwing knives, each of which hit Xiao Yan's life. Xiao Yan hurriedly rolled on the ground several times to avoid the hidden weapon, and when he tried to stand up again, he saw several sharp knives stabbing towards his chest and neck.

These guys...... Xiao Yan scolded secretly in his heart, this group of masked people are all well-trained, and they are not as easy to deal with as those rivers and lakes. At this time, they made it clear to themselves that they were going to kill them, and Xiao Yan was already tired of parrying left and right, and he couldn't spare his hands to care about the situation on Su Xixue's side.

"Miss Su, I advise you to get acquainted with each other, and don't force us to attack you!"

The four of them carefully dodged Su Xixue's sword blade while slowly approaching Su Xixue.

"What kind of acquaintance doesn't know each other?Could it be that your studio really dares to kill me and Wu Dang?" Su Xixue asked sarcastically, the blade in her hand turned sharply, and a soft rope that was intended to bind her flicked open.

"Although the studio can't kill you, if you don't know each other like this, it's okay to hurt you a little!" said the man at the head coldly.

"Just a few of you, and you want to hurt me?" Su Xixue Jiao snorted, and used a style of "Ziyan through the forest", a short sword with an agile body to connect the dots left and right, forcing the four of them to retreat again and again.

The masked man was scratched on the cheek by the sword, and laughed angrily: "It is worthy of being the daughter of the head of Wudang, and there are really two hits! It's a pity, you don't think we only have these few people, right?"

He pursed his lips and made a strange chirping that mimicked the call of a bird—the same old owl that Xiao Su and the others had heard before.

Su Xixue's heart was cold, her face was really impassive, and she sneered: "I just said why are there so many old owls in this city tonight?"

In the darkness below, there was also the echo of an owl.

In the next second, a few cold rays came towards everyone with a cold light.

Su Xixue's silver teeth clenched, and she was about to raise her sword to parry, but she saw the masked people fall down one after another, leaving only the leader standing in place with a shocked face.

Xiao Yan watched the menacing people beside him fall down silently, and he was also at a loss, and hurriedly looked up.

Corpses were thrown down one after another from the rooftops of the surrounding eaves with crackles, and the three of them looked at it and found that they were all masked people dressed in night clothes.

"Who is your Excellency, please show up and report your name!" The masked man at the head saw that so many companions were quietly killed under his nose, and he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and his voice trembled a little.

Suddenly, a cold snort was heard in the most unexpected place, and the masked man turned back in surprise to see that the person who had come was already standing behind him at some point.

"You...... Are you?"

Black hat, black cloak, black armor, and a black umbrella on his back.

His eyes are as deep as an abyss, and if he looks at it more, it seems that his soul will be sucked away.

The wolf totem on the right side of his face is both a source of his strength and a beacon of demoralization.

The night is his kingdom, and he lurks in the haze, devouring people's fear and helplessness. The prey he is targeting has never been able to escape!

"Are you...... Hidden wolf?uh—" Before the man could finish speaking, there was an extra dagger on his lower abdomen.

The masked man covered his bleeding wound and muttered, "For...... Why? Aren't you also a photo studio—"

The dagger didn't go in for a few minutes. The masked man rolled his eyes and slowly fell to his knees.

The man in black withdrew the dagger and inserted it back into his waist, turning to look at Su Xixue.

Xiao Yan hurriedly stepped forward and vigilantly protected Su Xixue behind him.

"What is his origin?" Xiao Yan turned his head and asked in a low voice, only to find that Su Xixue's face had turned pale.

"My name is 'wolf', I am the killer of the Tianzi position of the studio, the code name is 'hidden', Miss Su can call me a hidden wolf. The man's voice was emotionless, as if it were just a machine following instructions.

"I know, my father once mentioned you to me," Su Xixue's voice trembled a little, "The hole card of the photo studio, the most tricky killer in the rivers and lakes, there is no one." ”

"Miss Su, have you heard of it?" it's really an honor...... said it was an honor, but the voice of the hidden wolf could not hear any joy or sorrow.

"Are you here to snatch that thing too?" Su Xixue's palms were already full of sweat, and she knew very well that with the strength of the two of them, she would never be able to escape from this man.

Without waiting for the Hidden Wolf to reply, she added, "But whether you believe it or not, that thing is definitely not on us now!"

"Believe, of course I do," the Hidden Wolf smiled mockingly, "Miss Su's trip is just a risk, to see if she has been followed." Coming to this land temple is just a façade—am I right?"

Su Xixue was surprised, she had only discussed this plan with Xiao Yan, how did the man in front of her know?

She couldn't help but look at Xiao Yan secretly, but the latter's nervous look didn't look like a fake.

"Don't worry, I've been secretly protecting Miss Su for two days. ”

"Wait, what are you talking about?" Su Xixue couldn't believe her ears, "Protection?"

"Not bad, protection. The Hidden Wolf nodded.

"This is interesting, you two are from the photo studio, why do you want to come to grab things on the one hand, and protect us on the other?" Xiao Yan said strangely.

"Although a certain person is a photo studio, he is not subject to them like this group of miscellaneous people. My employer is a man of the world, and as long as the price is reasonable, anyone can drive me to do things," the Hidden Wolf said, "Got it?"

"So who hired you this time?"

"Your father, Master Xiao. ”

"Father?" Su Xixue was very surprised, "Does Father already know about this? Did he come?"

The hidden wolf shook his head and said: "There seems to be something wrong within the Wudang Sect, Master Xiao can't get out, half a month ago he flew a pigeon to find me, and entrusted me to come here to protect you, Miss Su." ”

"Father can fly pigeons and pass on the book to you?" Su Xixue was a little skeptical.

"That's right, I'm also deeply surprised," the hidden wolf's voice still didn't have any emotional fluctuations, "The note is here, if Miss Su doesn't believe it, check it yourself." ”

Su Xixue stepped forward boldly to take the note, although the light around her was extremely dim, but with years of getting along, she still recognized that it was indeed her father's handwriting.

"Great......" Su Xixue put the note in her heart and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Counting today, I have been here for three days, and if I hadn't seen Miss Su and your friends in danger, I wouldn't have rushed to the rescue. ”

"How did you find us?" said Xiao Yan.

"I have my own way, and ......" Hidden Wolf said, "My employer only asked me to protect Miss Su, and didn't ask me to protect you, boy." ”

"So?" Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows and took two cautious steps back.

"So......" The hidden wolf's expression suddenly changed, and his body shot out towards Xiao Yan like a long rainbow.

What an astonishing speed! Xiao Yan was so shocked that he didn't have time to react when he saw that the hidden wolf had already come to him.

The black umbrella on his back was also pulled out violently, and the umbrella leaves struck each other, making a sound of gold and iron.

The black umbrella suddenly opened behind Xiao Yan, and a strong impact erupted on the umbrella surface, Xiao Yan hurriedly pulled Su Xixue to retreat to the side, and saw a big blood drop falling where the two of them were standing just now.

"Snake tooth blood drops," Su Xixue looked at the weird tooth decoration on the hidden weapon, "It's the third ghost head!"

The drops of blood were pulled by the ropes and flew silently back into the darkness.

"This place should not stay for a long time!" the hidden wolf glanced around coldly, escorting the two of them out of here.

The three of them rushed all the way to the street, and were hesitating in which direction to go, when they suddenly saw a heavy fog floating on the street in front of them.

"How can there be fog on this summer night?" Xiao Yan was puzzled.

"I'm afraid it's not fog," Su Xixue's face turned red and white, "It's pollen." ”

"Yes, Miss Su has good eyesight," the hidden wolf said, "It seems that the Hibiscus Enchantress is also here, and this road is impassable." ”

"Let's go to the west of the city, the west of the city is the closest out of the city!" Xiao Yan proposed.

Hidden Wolf and Su Xixue nodded, covered their mouths and noses at the moment, and ran wildly towards the west of the city with Xiao Yan.

Walking through a few alleys, seeing that the city gate was close in front of them, Xiao Su and the others were overjoyed, but they were pulled by the hidden wolf: "Don't move, listen carefully." ”

The two of them were stunned for a moment, and then they settled down and listened carefully-

In the night sky, there is a faint sound of flutes flying in the dark. The melody is melodious and beautiful, like the breeze of the moon, and the mournful music makes Xiao Su and the others feel a little more sad.

"Really... It's so nice......" Xiao Yan muttered. He was about to sit cross-legged and soak up the sound when suddenly someone covered his ears.

"What are you doing...... Uhh

"The flute of the Whistling Mountains is not so easy to hear!"

The three of them were like frightened birds, hiding all the way east to Tibet, seizing the road and running to the east of the city.

"I said, since you are the number one killer in the studio, why can't you defeat them all?" Xiao Yan asked as he gasped.

The hidden wolf glanced at him coldly, turned his head again, and after a while, he said quietly:

"The first photo studio is not the first in the rivers and lakes. Besides, running away like this, I have already lost the protection of darkness, and I have no reason to make a move. ”

Xiao Yan nodded thoughtfully, and just as he was about to speak, he heard a burst of bright lights and voices in front of him.

"By mistake, I didn't expect to arrive at the night market in the east of the city! There are many people here, and we are safe!" Xiao Yan said happily.

"Safe?" a sneering expression appeared on the Hidden Wolf's stiff face, "I don't think so!"
