Chapter 60 Flower Picking Thief

Outside the Cangyuan Marquis Mansion.

Guan Shanxue, dressed in night clothes, flashed out from the nearby streets and alleys and jumped lightly onto a locust tree.

She quietly looked towards the Cangyuan Marquis Mansion. The entire mansion was quiet, with only a few dim lanterns lit in the courtyard and corridor.

"Why are the guards at Cangyuan Marquis' Mansion so lax?"

Under the hazy moonlight, Guan Shanxue looked around the mansion, but saw no guards on night watch, nor were there any servants serving the master moving around.

"No, the Cangyuan Marquis Mansion has a close relationship with the Taiyin Yuan Sect. There must be a master in the mansion. I can't take it lightly."

Guan Shanxue frowned slightly. Before she could find Cang Yinyue who was hiding among them, she couldn't be caught by the masters in the Marquis' Mansion, otherwise she would not be able to avenge her previous shame tonight.

Thinking of this, Guan Shanxue ran quickly along the wall outside the marquis' mansion, came to an inconspicuous corner of the back garden far away from the houses, and jumped onto the high wall.

She originally thought that sneaking into the mansion from such a remote place would not be easily discovered by the masters in the mansion.

But what surprised Guan Shanxue was that in the blink of an eye, he suddenly saw from afar a figure also wearing nightgown appear in the back garden of the marquis's mansion.

Taking advantage of the night, the other party used his lightness skills to quickly cross the corridor, came to a corner of the backyard, and climbed over the wall to escape.

Guan Shanxue squatted on the wall, lowering her body so that the shadows of the trees beside the wall blocked her figure.

She watched the figure quickly disappear into a nearby alley, frowning slightly.
"Could it be Cang Yinyue who sneaked out of Cangyuan Marquis Mansion at night?"

She heard today from the constables of the Six Gates that this woman had gone crazy and actually regretted her marriage to Fu Yu. It was truly outrageous.

It's late at night, it's not ruled out that the other party wants to secretly escape the marriage.

Guan Shanxue glanced at the Cangyuan Marquis's mansion, hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to quietly follow the direction the figure left.

"Let's follow and see first. If it really is Cang Yinyue, and we catch her and beat her up, then Marquis Cang Yuan will probably have to thank me."

A sneer flashed across Guan Shanxue's cold face.

The light skill she practiced was learned from the great detective Guan Tianqian, and was called "Thirteen Styles of the Golden Goose". She stepped on the ground silently and was as graceful as a startled goose. It was extremely extraordinary. Even in the entire martial arts world, it was an extremely superior martial art.

Therefore, although she wasted some time, she caught up with the figure soon.

Moreover, the other party had no idea that she was following him.

Zhu Yanfang.

At the end of a bluestone path in the backyard of a large mansion, a quaint and beautiful attic sits among green trees and flowers.

Candles were lit on the second floor of the attic. In front of the vermilion windowsill, a beautiful woman was combing her black hair with a sandalwood comb in front of the bronze mirror on the dressing table.

Her face was delicate and small, as gentle as a beautiful girl from a small family. The incense burner in the room emitted a faint fragrance. The bed curtains were gently hanging beside the large carved bed. The breeze blew by, causing the gauze curtains by the window to flutter gently.

"Miss, it's time to go to bed."

A maidservant lowered her head and whispered, walked to the window, glanced outside, and raised her hand to close the open window.

Soon, the scene in the room was obscured, leaving only the hazy window paper revealing a faint figure walking.

Not long after, the candle in the room was blown out, and the entire attic was left in darkness.

At this time, a masked figure in black came quietly and landed on the treetops outside the attic.

He shook his hand lightly, and a foreign object instantly flew through the window into the woman's boudoir. In the blink of an eye, a faint green smoke rose in the darkness.

A moment later, the figure in the tree lightly leaped, and with a wave of palm wind in the air, the second-floor window silently shattered, and the figure took advantage of the momentum to sneak into the room. "This... isn't right!"

Guan Shanxue, who was following behind, immediately noticed something was wrong.

It was naturally impossible for Cang Yinyue to break into a girl's boudoir in the middle of the night, and he obviously used smoke to knock her out.

This is clearly a flower thief!

At this moment, Guan Shanxue suddenly remembered that he had vaguely heard the detectives talking in the Six Gates.

It is said that recently in three districts of Shangyang City, rapists have appeared and are harming unmarried girls.

This thief not only defiled the woman's chastity, but also killed her by piercing her head with his strange claws. His methods were extremely cruel.

Thinking of this, a hint of murderous intent suddenly appeared in Guan Shanxue's eyes.

Without saying a word, she lightly stepped on the ground and followed the figure into the room in the attic like a flying goose.

At the same time, the icy energy in her hands quickly gathered, and she launched a killing move, the "Ice Palm".

The Ice Palm is the Feixue Sect's famous magical skill. It is not only extremely powerful, but it is also said that when cultivated to the highest level, a single palm strike can freeze a river.

Guan Shanxue's first move was a special move, and it was obvious that he wanted to kill the flower thief in front of him with just one palm.

boom!
The next moment, a loud noise suddenly occurred in the dark room of the attic, and the shockwaves of the true energy shattered the surrounding doors and windows.

The flower thief was extremely alert. When Guan Shanxue's fatal move posed a threat, he immediately reacted and extended a sinister claw with his backhand.

So, the two of them fought each other in the dark room.

At this moment, in the hazy night, one side of the entire attic was covered in frost, while the other side was bitterly cold.

But it was obvious that the flower thief was stronger. Guan Shanxue was pushed back several feet and only stopped when he fell to the treetops outside the attic.

"Ice Palm? You are Guan Shanxue."

In the dark room of the attic, a cold voice was heard. The man's true energy in the palm of his hand circulated rapidly to dispel the frozen stiffness of his fingers, and he looked at Guan Shanxue outside the attic with a cold gaze.

Guan Shanxue groaned, a trace of blood flowing from the corner of her mouth. She looked down at her palm, which was shrouded in wisps of green yin energy.

The opponent's martial arts skills were higher than hers. If it weren't for the powerful Ice Palm and her sneak attack, the opponent would have responded hastily and could not have exerted more than 50% of his strength.

I'm afraid she was seriously injured by that claw just now.

"Are you Cang Yuning?" Guan Shanxue narrowed his eyes slightly.

Cang Yuning is the third son of Marquis Cangyuan and the only son left. In addition, his mother has a relationship with Concubine Ji in the palace.

Therefore, he was also well-known among the children of nobles in the imperial capital. Guan Shanxue had met him several times before, so he recognized his voice.

Upon hearing this, murderous intent flashed in Cang Yuning's eyes. Now that his identity was exposed, the only option was to kill the person to silence him.

But at this moment, a figure suddenly and silently landed beside Guan Shanxue.

His fingers, like dry claws, were filled with sinister energy. He bent his fingers and scratched Guan Shanxue's back, causing Guan Shanxue to faint with his eyes rolled back.

"Fortunately, the young lady asked this old servant to come with her to keep an eye on the young master, otherwise something would have almost happened."

The old woman with a haggard face held Guan Shanxue in her arms and spoke softly.
