บท 143: A Storm is Brewing (1)

"Thud."

Liu Caiyun fell hard from the racing horse, landing on the black muddy ground. She came to a stop only after tumbling more than ten rounds, then groaned in pain, completely exhausted of all strength.

"Hurry, run!!" Liu Caiyun took a last gaze at her sister and Li Shunxi who were dashing madly ahead. She bit hard on her lip as her vision blurred.

"Swish!"

A streak of dark gray shadow shot past her, followed closely by a second and third streak.

"What do we do with the one on the ground?"

"Her’s has already been transferred. She’s no longer of any value. Kill her," another replied.

Liu Caiyun’s eyes widened. Before she could make a sound, pain stabbed into the back of her neck, and her world went dark.

"NO!!"

Still on horseback, Liu Qin realized that her sister had fallen off her horse. She released a heartbreaking howl, her eyes brimming with tears.

Tears welled up in Li Shunxi’s eyes too. Still, he gripped tightly onto Liu Qin’s hand.
