Chapter 238 -239 Encounter Danger_1
Yu Ze said to Muniang, “Stay here for now. I’m going to save them.” With that, he “swooshed” off, flying towards the direction of Hei Bao.
Muniang pursed her lips, feeling inexplicably unhappy. Although they were far apart, the rough men’s voices were loud, and she could make out most of what they were saying. The phrase “his woman” was particularly grating to her ears, considering he had just told her yesterday that he had never been with any woman. Yet today, he seemed so anxious about this woman—what did that mean?
Perhaps she was indeed being petty—it didn’t matter now. The most important thing was rescuing those in danger. He was probably so eager to save them because he feared it might lead to a loss of life. Muniang tightened her grip on her sleeve and suppressed her negative emotions, looking up to see what was happening over there.
Yu Ze’s martial arts were superior, and dealing with those men was an easy task for him. Furthermore, his sudden appearance took them by surprise as they had not expected him to be there, and thus they didn’t have time to use He Suxue as a hostage. Yu Ze, being shrewd, first pulled He Suxue behind him before turning around to tangle with the thugs.
Hei Bao wouldn’t actually fight Yu Ze, knowing he could die without understanding how; seeing the right moment, he made a sign to several big men beside him. A thug charged at He Suxue with a knife, but with a flick of his wrist, Yu Ze had already caught the blade between two fingers.
Just when he thought he had the situation under control, a thug had stealthily channeled powerful Inner Strength into his knife and stabbed it straight at the carriage not far away.
Yu Ze did not have time to react before he heard He Suxue scream “Ah.” A knife had plunged into He Suxue’s arm. Yu Ze hurriedly grabbed He Suxue to avoid the blade and with a palm strike, killed the attacker outright.
However, in the brief moment his attention was divided, the thrown knife from the thug had found its way into the horse that was dragging the carriage with Muniang in it. The horse neighed frantically and began to run wildly, and the coachman could not hold onto the reins. Since he was sitting outside, he was thrown off when the horse leaped.
The coachman rolled off the carriage, but Muniang was still inside. The area was remote, and not far away was a cliff. The panicked horse was unstoppable, dragging the carriage madly towards the cliff.

Yu Ze cursed under his breath, “Damn it,” and immediately let go of He Suxue, reaching out to grab the carriage. He Suxue clung to his arm with teary, blurred eyes, “Yu, I’m scared.”
Without even thinking, Yu Ze dropped He Suxue to the ground and flew towards the runaway carriage, sweat beading on his forehead with urgency.
Hei Bao and the others had completed their task, and seizing the opportunity, they didn’t wait around for death but quickly dispersed. Watching Yu Ze’s figure dashing off, a cold glint flashed in He Suxue’s eyes, understanding it was too late to follow now.
As the horse was startled, Muniang hadn’t had time to react and was being thrown around painfully inside the carriage. The curtains were torn up, and the cliff ahead was getting closer. Any ordinary woman would have waited for death at this point, but Muniang forced herself to stay calm. Falling would mean certain death, struggling might mean life.
The carriage shook violently, and Muniang almost crawled to the carriage door. Seeing the cliff so close, Muniang rolled out of the carriage. The speed of the carriage was great, and the momentum was strong; she braced herself for the possibility of being crippled from the fall.
But as she was about to hit the ground sharply, she fell into a warm embrace. The impact was still too powerful, and Yu Ze, while catching her, lost his balance and fell to the ground, yet he ensured that Muniang lay on top of him to prevent her from getting injured.
Yu Ze grunted, “Are you alright?”
Muniang was frantic and quickly inspected his body, “Are you alright?”
Yu Ze helped her stand up, “It’s nothing. I’m just glad you’re safe. I’m sorry, I wasn’t careful just now.” He had originally told Muniang to wait on the side to prevent her from getting hurt, wanting to keep her out of harm’s way. But who knew, those men still had their sights set on her. Thinking of this, Yu Ze’s face grew cold.
“Ah,” He Suxue cried out in pain, clutching her incessantly bleeding arm, pushing herself to stand and started walking towards them.
For some reason, a wave of revulsion spread in Muniang’s heart—she had never felt such strong dislike towards someone after just one meeting. What was happening today?
He Suxue staggered over, most likely from losing too much blood, her complexion deathly pale. Yu Ze stepped forward to offer support, and she conveniently collapsed into his arms, her tears streaming down her face as she weakly called out, “Yu.”
Muniang’s head reeled, as the comforting thoughts she had been holding onto felt like a joke, the delicate cry of “Yu” piercing her heart.
Before Yu Ze could even react, He Suxue had “lost consciousness.” Yu Ze had no choice but to carry her and place her in the carriage. “She’s lost a lot of blood. I’ll stop the bleeding for now, and once we get home, we can call for a doctor,” he said.
Muniang felt stunned, her heart a tumult of emotions. She thought she could understand his urgency to save someone and that he couldn’t care for her while rescuing someone else, which almost resulted in her falling off a cliff. But now, how could she understand his nonchalant tone about bringing this woman to their home?
Perhaps she had already lost the moment that woman tenderly called out “Yu.”
Yu Ze found a cloth and bandaged He Suxue, finally stopping the bleeding.
“She’s the daughter of Minister He of the Ministry of Revenue in the capital, and our families have been friends for generations. I couldn’t just leave her in trouble,” Yu Ze explained.
Muniang pursed her lips: “Mm.”
Under these circumstances, Muniang naturally wasn’t in the mood to invite Zeng Gang for dinner anymore and simply told Zhu Zi to drive them home.
Mrs. Lin had been waiting eagerly at the door. Seeing the carriage return, she was overjoyed. “Muniang, you’re back?”
But when Zhu Zi pulled back the curtain, instead of Zeng Gang, Mrs. Lin saw Yu Ze carrying down a strange woman, her smile faltering. “Who is this?”
At a loss for words, Yu Ze responded, “Someone we know from the road who happened to have an accident and got injured by someone.”
Mrs. Lin was kind-hearted and quickly ushered them into the house, “Quickly, come inside. How did you lose so much blood? Hong Luo, hurry to Doctor Chen’s house and fetch someone.”
Qinghe watched as Yu Ze personally carried the woman inside, furrowing her brows. Seeing Muniang dirty and disheveled, she took her aside and asked, “What exactly happened? Who is that woman?” Her tone was particularly harsh.
Muniang let out a bitter laugh. It seemed she wasn’t the only one who felt disgusted by the sight of that woman. Yu Ze, how many things are you hiding from me?
