Volume 2: Awakening Memories ☆ Light of Dawn 002 Chapter: Escaping Over the Wall (Revised)

  In a secluded alley, Yixin leaned against the wall with her back to it, her head bowed and clutching at her chest as she panted for breath. Her neatly combed hair was now disheveled, and her clean pale green long dress was stained and dirty, almost to the point where its original color could no longer be discerned.

  Pale hands patted the chest to catch breath, heart racing like thunder, it was a kind of instinctive fear, the delicate body trembled slightly, and the hands and feet were icy.

  Before Yixin could even find her for revenge, she had already made her second move in a hurry.

  If she hated her so much for taking the position of War King's wife, why did she agree to marry another person in the first place? Was it because she loved Ye Juechen too much or was it due to her completely twisted mentality.

  She can't have it, nor is she allowed to let other women have it.

  "Beauty, you can really run! My third brother chased after you for several streets."

  "You'd better follow us quietly, or you'll suffer the consequences." In the imperial city, they were at least street urchins who had mixed around for several years, and they had never seen anyone as good-looking as him.

  "Big brother, second brother, there's a wall behind the alley, she has nowhere to retreat, and we've finally caught her."

  Her pale face, flushed from running desperately, was somewhat unnatural, but it couldn't hide her beauty, and instead added a few more touches of sickly beauty. Yixin raised her head, a hint of coldness flashing in the clear bottom of her eyes, her red lips slightly curled up. "I'm exhausted, just answer me one question and I'll follow you obediently."

  If being weak is destined to be bullied, then she would rather be the one who bullies others.

  Owe her money, must pay back.

  "Beautiful girl, you should know that you don't have the capital to negotiate with us." The leading man was very tall, with dark skin and greedy eyes staring at Yixin Yan, recklessly sizing her up.

  "It's not just you who can capture me, if you don't answer my questions, I'll die in front of you, and what you want to do to me won't be fun anymore." The bright eyes sparkled with a brilliant smile, the hands clenched into fists in the long sleeves, it was an unprecedented humiliation for Yixin.

  In the past, whoever dared to look at her with such a lewd gaze would be dead the next moment.

  "You——"

  This woman is different from other women. When faced with such a situation, she shouldn't be feeling helpless and terrified, so how can she remain so calm when negotiating terms with them?

  Three men stared at Yixin, who had pulled out a hairpin from her hair, and her eyes twitched fiercely. She was indeed ruthless to herself, as a bloody mark had already appeared on her snow-white neck, exceptionally eye-catching.

  Obviously, she is not afraid of death at all.

  "Big brother, anyway she can't escape our palms, might as well let her die with a clear understanding." They took the money, originally they were going to take her life.

  Unexpectedly, she was born so beautiful, and he had an evil intention, wanting to take her body and then let her die.

  "Second brother is right, big brother. Why don't we tell her? A beautiful woman like that hasn't even been enjoyed yet and she's already dead, what a waste."

  A brief rest allowed Yixin's weak legs to gradually recover, she was absolutely not going to let herself fall into the hands of these three thugs, escape was the only thought in her mind.

  When she was pushed away by the crowd of people who suddenly appeared, and couldn't find Ye Yuexiao at first, Yixin knew that she had been targeted.

  As soon as she had the thought, she wanted to head towards crowded areas. Before long, three groups of people started chasing her, with a sense of not stopping until they succeeded. Unfamiliar with the Imperial City, she relied on her instincts to weave through the streets and alleys, only to end up running into a dead-end alley, forced to retreat with no way out.

  "Can you answer my question now?" Moved quietly and closely along the wall, the hairpin in his hand pierced into his palm, hurting intensely.

  How could she expect Ye Juechen to save her?

  It's really laughable, if she can live well this time, Yixin swears that she will never give anyone a second chance to treat her like this again.

  "Ask then." The man who was leading the group spoke up, his eyes fixed intently on Yixin, seeing that she was only leaning against the wall resting, without any other abnormalities.

  "Who sent you to kill me."

  Sometimes, even though you already have the answer in your heart, you still can't control yourself and want to hear it from someone else's mouth.

  "We just received the silver and didn't know who wanted to kill you." He was telling the truth, the woman who had made contact with them sounded old and wore a veil, making it impossible for them to recognize her.

  "Is it a boy or a girl."

  An elderly woman.

  "Thank you."

  Yi's eyes sparkled as she smiled ambiguously, and the silver hairpin in her hand shot towards the man closest to her like a streak of light. As they dodged, she quickly ran away from the scene, knocking over the bamboo poles leaning against the wall, and rushed straight towards the high wall at the end of the alley.

  "Hurry... catch her..."

  Dodge the bamboo poles, the leading man let out an angry low growl, chasing after but seeing Yixin dye recklessly charging towards that high wall, the shortest man whispered, "Is she trying to get herself killed?"

  Even if you want to die, there's no need to be so resolute about it.

  A beauty like a flower and jade, died in such an ugly way with her brains splattered everywhere.

  "Damn it, she's going to escape."

  "Stop her."

  Three people exchanged a glance, and quickly rushed towards Yixin's direction. However, they were several steps behind her, and it was destined that they couldn't catch up with her. They could only watch as she jumped over the high wall in front of them, recklessly leaping down.

  With the momentum of running, Yixin quickly calculated her steps in her mind, right foot started, kicked against the wall, left foot borrowed momentum to kick upwards again, four strides were enough for her to tightly grasp the wall with both hands.

  With almost the last of her strength, Yixin flipped over and sat on top of the high wall, turned around to glance at the three thugs running towards her, then turned back and jumped down without any hesitation.

  Today's humiliation will be avenged sooner or later.

  ……。

  Ye Jue rushed out of the War King's mansion, only to remember that he had never asked where Yexin was when she suddenly disappeared. Jin City is neither big nor small, and searching for someone without a purpose would take until who-knows-when.

  "Dust, don't worry, you will definitely find the War King's consort."

  "Older brother, let's go find together."

  Three people chased out and happened to meet Ye Juechen walking back. Looking at his increasingly gloomy face, for a while, they didn't know how to comfort him either.

  Yi Xing Ran has no martial arts skills and is unfamiliar with the imperial city. If he encounters another assassination attempt, it's likely to be a disaster.

  "I'm going with you, if I hadn't pulled Jiu'er out to accompany me, she wouldn't have gone missing." Ye Yue stumbled out, if something really happened to Wan Yi, she would never forgive herself. "Take me along, otherwise how will you know where she went missing?"

  "Go." With a long arm embracing her, Ye Yue directly fell into Ye Jue's arms. "I'm worried about you, Your Majesty doesn't allow anything to happen to you, you must be fine."

  Wait for me, I will find you soon.

  "We're going too." The three of them exchanged a glance, knowing that this was a matter of great importance and they had to find Yixin as soon as possible.

  Situ Luolan's whole heart sank, shallow words, was it really your hand that moved?

  You've really changed, it's terrifying.
