The shadows were able to silently pass all the visible guards around the Gao Manor, then they split into two groups.
Three shadows went to the east side and the remaining four went to the west side of the manor. All this was done without getting sound to avoid unnecessary attention from anyone from the Gao household.
Carefully moving around the manor, and making sure to hide in the dark, the shadows expertly and quickly able to reach the east side courtyard where the large plum tree is located.
The courtyard is silent, everyone seems to be sleeping. The light coming from the hanging lanterns are enough for finding the right directions.
There are also no guards stationed in the courtyard which helps them to conveniently move closer to the main room.
The main room's candles are not lit. Based on the information they have, this is the room of the only child of the Left Minister Gao.
Their clan failed to ambush the minister before. This time they will not fail and will also make sure to take care of the daughter as well. They do not have enough time left to fail again.
After getting closer to the open window, one of the shadows swiftly went into the dark room, knife ready to go for the kill.
The room is not too large and as soon as the shadow was able to get in from the window, the bed is already seen where a young woman is snoring softly as an indication that she is sleeping soundly.
Using the moonlight, as well as spiritual energy, he briskly approaches the bed, the shadow prepared to attack using his knife, "Hiss!" but was distracted by a sudden movement towards him.
Immediately moving backward to avoid any incoming attack. He was not hurt, but he became distressed with the failed attempt.
'What was that?' Since its dark, he has no idea what attacked him. The cold sweat is starting to form from his forehead. Due to his instinct and training, he was able to barely dodge.
The shadow quickly, hides on the darkest part of the room, putting his guard up and glanced at the bed.
"Where?!"
The originally sleeping young woman is nowhere to be seen. He continued to hide his breath, using his cultivation to scan the room.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Continuous attack suddenly arrived. Every blow is not that strong but too fast for him to all defend from. Not mentioning the darkness, he is really having a hard time.
The young woman that is originally sleeping on the bed is now fiercely striking with the intent to kill!
Gao Lan Mei does not like the idea of running. Feng Ji is not back yet, but that does not mean she is completely helpless.
Her surprise attack did not make much difference before the intruder or better say assassin before he retaliated.
The movement from the assassin become quicker with so much force in every blow.
'So, what?' Using the wooden umbrella, she moved quicker as well, aiming at vital points. Taking note that after she survived the night, a sword should be always with her.
Not noticing when the assassin pulled out another knife, she barely dodges slash.
"Hiss!" Yen Mìngjue's pawn tried to bite the assassin when came close enough to reach.
As soon as he became distracted Gao Lan Mei kicked as hard as she can to push the assassin out of the room.
The door was destroyed and the assassin was pushed out of the room.
