Chapter 509: Catching an Arrow Barehanded

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lan Ruozhu missed his sister dearly. However, he seemed to feel something as he thought of her. He had always known he had a telepathic connection with his sister. It was either because they were twins or perhaps from the Ice Clans bloodline.

Still, only women could inherit the clans bloodline. Bing Suwan was from the Ice Clan, so he thought his sister might have the clans abilities. Nonetheless, the clan had special powers.

Lan Ruozhus heartbeat rapidly increased at this moment. His heart had not pounded like that for a long time. He only remembered it being this powerful whenever his sister returned home from playing in the garden.

Could it be?

He felt he might have gotten possessed but quickly brushed it off. He said,

Blue Eagle! Push my wheelchair toward the door.

When he shouted for Blue Eagle, the latter appeared from the darkness. The youth was dressed in black and was about the same age as Lan Ruozhu. When Blue Eagle was five, Lan Ruobing saved him and brought him to the deceased royals mansion.

From then on, Blue Eagle began training, standing out among the many

Shadow Guards, and became the most magnificent member. Then Lan

Ruobing gave him the name Blue Eagle. From then on, he became the leader of the Shadow Guards.

Blue Eagle was silent, but Lan Ruozhu knew he was in the shadows. Lan Ruozhu had a.s.signed Blue Eagle to another mission, but the Shadow Guards were worried because Lan Ruozhu would visit Teng County.

Hence, they told Blue Eagle to follow him. Everyone felt much more at ease with Blue Eagle around.

He pushed Lan Ruozhus wheelchair as instructed and recalled Bing Suwans orders. He had to protect Lan Ruozhu and always listen to him. When Blue Eagle pushed his master out, the door slowly opened.

Su Binglan got caught off guard when she saw the grown-up Lan Ruozhu. It was her real brother, not the young man in her dreams. He was not the youth in her dreams, sitting on the chair while looking toward the moonlit sky.

Instead, he was the grown-up version in robes embroidered with bamboo patterns. Lan Ruozhu wore his hair in a ponytail with a bamboo hairpin, spotless. One could see his slender figure when the cold wind blew his green robes.

Su Binglans eyes reddened when she saw her brother.

Meanwhile, Lan Ruozhu followed his heart and looked toward the door. He did not expect to see a young girl who had seemingly walked out of a painting. She looked calm and pure, and her face was beautiful.

Her appearance differed from Princess Lans, but Lan Ruozhu could feel his heartbeat increasing. He finally saw his sister again, but not the one who was physically and mentally exhausted from protecting himinstead, she looked much healthier now.

Lan Ruozhu!s eyes also reddened. M-My sister.

He opened his mouth and finally found his voice, S-Sister, is that you?

His eyes teared up, and he thought he was hallucinating, so he dared not blink. He wanted to see his sister as much as possible. At this moment, his mood fluctuated violently.

Typically, his body could not withstand such strong emotional fluctuations, but he held on with all his might and refused to faint. Although he thought it might be an illusion, he wanted to see his sister as much as possible.

Even Blue Eagle was shocked. He had undergone rigorous training as a Shadow Guard since he was young and rarely had personal emotions. He became an emotionless Shadow Guard after Princess Lans pa.s.sing.

However, he was stunned when he saw the young lady before him. He was also a little excited as he seemed to see Princess Lans return. Still, it was only moments before he realized she was not the same person, quickly becoming alert.

Suddenly, an arrow shot out from the darkness toward Lan Ruozhu with a

sharp air-piercing sound. Blue Eagle mobilized, and so did Su Binglan. That was because the arrow came from behind her, putting her closer to the deadly arrow.

Her ears twitched, and she did not even need to turn back to look. She quickly grabbed the arrow with her bare hands and threw it back to where it came from. Her speed was unmatched, and she used all her might. None could dodge her full-powered counterattack.

Ah! A scream came from the dark. However, the arrows power did not weaken as it hit the person hiding in the dark. Instead, it nailed that person to the wall behind him.

Blue Eagle and Lan Ruozhu were all too familiar with Su Binglans move. After all, Lan Ruobing was the one who taught Blue Eagle such things. She had trained him for two years, but her body weakened after that, so she could only guide him and not physically teach him.

Blue Eagle had also learned that it was easier to identify the arrows direction by sound rather than sight. When a Shadow Guards strength reached sufficient levels, their hands could act as a bow that would shoot an arrow by throwing it.

When the remaining a.s.sa.s.sins saw that one of their members was exposed, they revealed themselves and began attacking Lan Ruozhu. However, Lan Ruozhus Shadow Guards mobilized, while Blue Eagle protected him from all angles.

The a.s.sa.s.sins could not harm Lan Ruozhu at all. At that moment, Su Binglan did not care about anything else and only wanted to prevent anyone from hurting her brother. Thus, she also took action and killed most of the a.s.sa.s.sins, leaving only one alive.

She stepped on the surviving a.s.sa.s.sin and asked, Who are you? Who sent you here? Speak!

Her expression was calm, but the killing intent and cold aura she emitted caused the surviving a.s.sa.s.sin to shudder. Still, they dared not give her any information.

He wanted to commit suicide, but Su Binglan had dug out the poison he had hidden in his mouth. The a.s.sa.s.sins movement was no match for the young ladys swiftness.

Who is this girl? How can she be so terrifyingly strong, not to mention King Lan Ruozhu!s guards?! Theyve been hiding here after all.

The archer only took action because he noticed Lan Ruozhu exposing himself in his line of sight. He was a master archer who had never missed, but the young lady had grabbed his arrow with her bare hands and killed him.

Nonetheless, the surviving a.s.sa.s.sin thought he must return to tell his master about this if he survived. He realized their understanding of King Lan Ruozhu was still insufficient as there were many hidden guards around the latter.

Just Su Binglan alone was enough to terrify the a.s.sa.s.sin, not to mention Blue Eagle by Lan Ruozhus side. Blue Eagle and Su Binglan had such a tacit understanding that the a.s.sa.s.sins could never kill Lan Ruozhu.

Suddenly, Su Binglan revealed a silver needle, saying, Fine. If you dont tell me what I want to know, Ill force it out of you.

Her entire body radiated a dark and bloodthirsty aura at that moment.

These people dared to hurt my brother! Ill make them pay!
