Chapter 198 - Escape
Seeing that her plan had failed, Lu He could only keep backing away while holding her zither, looking at Feng Muyan warily, while constantly thinking of a way to escape in her mind.
Feng Muyan also didn't want to waste time with her, so he used his palm to hit her. Lu He bent down slightly and dodged quickly, using the zither as a weapon to fight with Feng Muyan, but she was at a disadvantage within ten moves.
Seeing that the powerful palm was about to hit her right shoulder, Gu Liuqing's face flashed through Lu He's mind. She was afraid that she would die outside today and never see him again.
Suddenly, Feng Muyan turned his palm and quickly caught the flying stone with two fingers. He used his backhand to bounce the stone back, causing the man hiding in the tree to reveal his whereabouts. He turned over and started fighting with Feng Muyan.
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and leave!" the man in black said to Lu He with a little anger.
Only then did Lu He realize that the man in black was out to help her. She was delighted and turned around and ran without hesitation. In a moment, she disappeared into the dense forest.
Seeing that everyone was safe, the man in black didn't want to get involved anymore and turned around to run away.
"Since you want to be a hero, how can I let you run away?" Feng Muyan stared at the man in black with a cold expression, and attacked him again with fierce moves.
The black-clothed man's martial arts skills were quite good. After exchanging twenty moves with Feng Muyan, he still showed no sign of being defeated. However, Feng Muyan was becoming more and more confused. He didn't understand why this man only defended and didn't attack, and his voice seemed very familiar.
"Are you comfortable leaving her alone at the gate of the Xiao Mansion? You'd better go back and protect her. Bye!" After saying this, he took advantage of the moment when Feng Muyan was stunned and threw the smoke in his hand away. He turned over a few times and disappeared from Feng Muyan's sight.
After the smoke cleared, Feng Muyan searched the ground carefully and memorized the white ash footprint in his heart. Who was the man in black? Why did he save the woman? Why did he know that someone was waiting for him at the gate of Xiao's house? However, he was worried about Mu Ziyan's safety, so Feng Muyan did not chase him any further.
At first, Lu He ran very fast, but gradually slowed down her pace and changed her route back to Luosha Gate, stopping only in a deserted place.
"Come out, I know you're here!"
After a moment, the man in black slowly walked out from the darkness, stood in front of Luhe, looked at her with a complicated look in his eyes, and said nothing.
"Who are you and why did you save me?" Lu He slowly sat down under the tree with one hand on her waist. She couldn't help but feel a little scared. She was so focused on escaping that she forgot about the baby in her belly. She didn't know if it would be okay.
"You don't need to ask this, just give me the piano." The man in black stretched out his hand in front of Lu He.
Lu He was stunned, but only for a moment. She was just curious about the zither. If compared with her life and the young master, it was nothing. Whoever wanted it could take it and it would not affect her at all.
After figuring it out, Lu He put the zither into the hands of the man in black without saying a word, and then sat quietly there waiting for what would happen next.
"I'm leaving. Take care of yourself from now on. Don't have any ideas about Mu Ziyan, otherwise even gods can't save you!" After saying this, the man in black tied up the guqin and put it on his back, then turned around and was about to leave.
"Ugh... ugh..."
The man in black took a step back, turned around and squatted in front of Lu He, holding her arm and asked, "Are you okay? Why are you so weak?"
Lu He suddenly shook off his hand, staggered to her feet and staggered away, vomiting as she walked, as if she wanted to vomit out her stomach, giving people the feeling that she would collapse at any time.
Seeing her like this, the man in black became even more worried, so he followed her closely, hoping to catch her in time if she fainted.
