The nine men retreated simultaneously, together their golden and silver light flashed out as they prepared to escape far away. But just as they were about to do so, a cold voice suddenly spoke out. “After killing so many people, you want to leave by just saying that? Did you think you could get off that easy?”
Following these words, a blue figure suddenly appeared in the corner of the street, blocking the escape path of the nine men in black. This man’s entire body was covered in blue radiance, his eyes akin to a pair of light blue pearls, his body tall and lean. Standing in the midst of the darkness, those who saw him could not help but feel a sense of loneliness within their hearts.
Loneliness, dismal, solitude, bleakness… embodied within this man were all these negative emotions that would cause anyone to feel extremely sad! Even the slender long sword held within his hand seemed to be exuding an aura of loneliness…
Princess Ling Meng’s face lit up as she cried out. “Uncle Ye, it is really you. Meng’er feels so happy!”
The expression of the two assassin leaders suddenly underwent a great change, their eyes contracting at the same time as they coldly asked. “Solitary Star of the Horizon, Ye Guhan? It turned out to be you! Isn’t your weapon of choice the sword? Since when did you start to use flying daggers to mystify people?”
“It does not matter what I use, it will be more than enough to kill you pieces of trash!” Ye Guhan glanced over the nine assassins before looking at Princess Ling Meng. His eyes revealed a rare expression of warmth and affection. “Little Meng is misbehaving again, going out of the palace secretly. Now you have encountered a dangerous situation, are you frightened?”
“With Uncle Ye here, Meng’er will definitely be safe,” Princess Ling Meng smiled lovingly. Before this world famous solitary figure, Solitary Star of the Horizon, Ye Guhan, Princess Ling Meng did not appear to have any resemblance to a Royal Princess. Her bearing was more towards a little girl who had just met her dear uncle, her face showing an incomparable amount of respect and dependence.
