Clouds and Moon Shadow

Chapter 478 Is the masked man the Protector of Ling?

Then, with a 'pfft', he vomited blood.

"Here you go," the man said, throwing the little moon toward Gu Qingyue in the next instant.

Mu Yun Chu twirled her longsword, paused for a moment, and then saw the man glance disdainfully at the panicked gray-clad servant before turning and darting into the dense forest behind the mountain, disappearing like a ghost.

"Stop chasing!" Gu Qingyue caught Xiaoyue and called out to Mu Yun Chu.

For some reason, Gu Qingyue felt a sudden tightness in her chest and an uncontrollable sense of worry when she saw the man vomit blood.

She was sure she was hallucinating.

why?

She rubbed the discomfort in her chest, looked up, and saw Mu Yun Chu placing a sword against the gray-clad servant's shoulder. "Tell me, who is he?"

The gray-clad servant was in such a hurry that he didn't think about anything else.

He was sent by the Holy Maiden specifically to take care of the Ling Protector's health. If anything happened to the Ling Protector, he would die ten thousand times over. Therefore, he couldn't care less about the two uninvited guests in front of him.

Now that a sword is at my neck, I feel scared.

He shuddered and looked at Mu Yun Chu. The man's face was covered by a mask, so his appearance was completely obscured.

"I...I'm a little medical apprentice, please...please don't kill me!"

The man was about to cry.

"Speak, tell us who he is, and I'll spare your life!" Gu Qingyue asked, stroking the little moon in her arms, who now looked like a quail.

Upon hearing this, the servant straightened up slightly, clenched his fist, and said in a slightly unsteady voice, "You... he is the Ling Protector by our Holy Maiden's side."

"Guardian? When did he arrive at the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers? And what exactly is his relationship with the Holy Maiden?"

When Gu Qingyue saw the servant boy say that he was the Holy Maiden's protector, her eyes visibly shifted.

Gu Qingyue suddenly remembered what Princess Lianye had said about the masked man often ignoring the Holy Maiden and even making her cry...

Could it be?

The servant looked at Gu Qingyue, whose tone had been calm just moments before, and her eyes suddenly turned sharp. He trembled and spoke in a shaky voice, "He... he was rescued by the Holy Maiden many years ago. I... I only heard about it. He seems to have lost his memory. The Holy Maiden... likes... likes Protector Ling."

After the servant finished speaking, he collapsed to his knees, exhausted. Seeing the cold glint of Mu Yun Chu's longsword, he was so frightened that he wet himself.

Gu Qingyue covered her nose in disgust and took two steps back.

After exchanging a glance with Mu Yun Chu, Mu Yun Chu raised her hand, and the servant slumped to the ground, unconscious.

Gu Qingyue breathed a sigh of relief as she watched the Ling Protector flee into the dense forest.

I hope nothing happens to him.

Suddenly, Gu Qingyue's hand stopped.

She touched a rolled-up paper tube on Little Moon's calf.

Gu Qingyue: ......

"Let's go take a look at the study again," Gu Qingyue said calmly to Mu Yun Chu, suppressing her wildly beating heart.

Mu Yun Chu glanced at Gu Qing Yue in surprise and nodded.

So the two returned to the study, and as soon as they entered, Gu Qingyue closed the door behind her.

Mu Yun Chu asked, puzzled, "A Yue?"

Gu Qingyue cautiously looked outside and untied the paper tube from Xiaoyue's leg.

turn on.

Mu Yun Chu raised an eyebrow and came closer.

"Immortal Valley, Meigu Mountain Range, Qihe Town, Illusion Array, remember this."

Nothing else.

Gu Qingyue and Mu Yun Chu: !!!

The two were experiencing mixed feelings.

Who exactly is he? The servant says he has amnesia, so why is he helping them?

"Master," Mu Dong's voice suddenly rang out from outside.

Mu Yun Chu opened the door and saw that An Lang and Gu Qing Yue's men had already arrived. He and Gu Qing Yue walked out together.

"Take him away," Mu Yun Chu said in a low voice, pointing to the servant who was still lying in the courtyard.

Mu Dong nodded and gestured behind him.

The servant was immediately taken away by a Dark Wolf guard, still unconscious.

Before seeing this note, they certainly wouldn't have paid any attention to the servant, but now that they've seen the note left by the man, they'll definitely have to interrogate him more thoroughly.

"Your Dark Wolf has arrived too?"

Gu Qingyue looked at the large group of men in black who were gathering around her, and watched Mu Yun Chu with great interest.

This guy secretly ambushed so many people without making a sound.

"Yes, they've been following us secretly." What Mu Yun Chu didn't say was that these people were secretly transferred to him by Mu Dong after he met Gu Qingyue outside Jianmen Pass on his way here.

Wherever Ah Yue is, how can we not have more people guarding her?

Looking into his eyes, Gu Qingyue suddenly felt a warmth in her heart. This guy!

"Master, we've captured seventeen people. Some escaped, but most are dead," Yue Ling's voice rang out at the opportune moment.

Gu Qingyue immediately snapped out of her daze, "Bring them all over."

A moment later, a group of men and women, looking disheveled, were brought over by the young men of Moon Shadow Pavilion and Dark Wolf.

"Unfortunately, several women ran away; they're said to be protectors," Qin Fang said, brandishing his longsword with dissatisfaction.

"They probably have other ways to leave this place."

They had just stumbled upon what appeared to be a place of worship, where several older women were present.

Before they could get close, a pink powder floated over. Even though everyone was very cautious, having taken the antidote pills given to them by Gu Qingyue beforehand and immediately raised their hands to block, their eyes were still blurry and they couldn't help but tear up. They didn't know what kind of poison it was.

By the time I could see them clearly, they were gone.

Pity!

Gu Qingyue waved her hand, "It's alright. The Holy Maiden isn't here. Those who remain are just small fry. Let them go."

Anyway, the Holy Maiden will definitely find out; isn't she supposed to be able to predict the future?

Those people commit suicide so easily, you can't necessarily get anything out of them even if you catch them.

What Gu Qingyue didn't know was that the Holy Maiden was seriously injured at this time and was truly unable to make calculations.

"Take him away for questioning," Mu Yun Chu waved her hand.

"Ah Yue, what are your plans next?" Mu Yun Chu turned around and saw that Gu Qing Yue was unusually lost in thought.

"I want to find that person. Why do you think he would tell us such important information?"

Gu Qingyue pursed her lips and asked Mu Yun Chu.

Mu Yun Chu patted her shoulder, "Okay, I'll go with you."

Qin Fang, noticing the two suddenly whispering, curiously leaned closer and asked, "What are you talking about?"

"You'll be in charge of interrogating them, thank you," Mu Yun Chu turned around, her face expressionless, and cupped her hands in a gesture of respect.

Qin Fang was flattered and overwhelmed.

"No, no! You continue."

So what if you have a wife? Showing off, huh!

"Oh, by the way, did you find the clan leader's niece? The one named Nian Yuwei, is that Mu Dong's name?" Gu Qingyue suddenly remembered the woman Mu Dong had investigated before.

Perhaps she holds a higher position by the Saintess's side and knows more.

She was, after all, the niece of the chief of a large tribe.

"Her name is Nian Yuwei, but we couldn't find her. Some people said she went to serve the Holy Maiden," Mu Dong said in a low voice.
