Chapter 1453: Chapter 1453: There is an Assassin

He had originally thought his mother had intentionally left him and Sangsang behind, while on Lin Chushui’s side, she was set up by others, not even harboring any hatred.

Lin Chushui just gave Lin Changhong a faint glance.

Actually, he was anxious, but he was not in a hurry to see his parents, instead thinking about the person who had come to deliver the message that day, saying Sister Sangsang was waiting at home for him to return, which is why he had hastened on his journey.

"Brother Changhong, you sit here, I’ll go pick some fruit."

After saying this, he prepared to enter the woods, but Lin Changhong immediately pulled him back.

"It’s pitch black, what are you doing? Aren’t you full from the dry food?"

He had promised his mother to protect Lin Chushui, let him go pick fruit alone? Not to mention his mother, even his little sister would not let him off the hook if she found out about this later.

"Don’t go, if you want fruit, you can go when it’s light tomorrow, it’s not safe at night,"

he said.

Lin Chushui looked up at the bright night sky, then at Lin Changhong, and nodded.

"Alright, I’ll go tomorrow."

"Do you young masters want to eat some fruit? I’ll go pick some in the woods for you," a subordinate who was escorting them to Yejun interjected upon hearing their conversation and came over.

"Please wait, Your Excellency..."

’Whoosh—’

An arrow shot through the air, cutting off the subordinate’s words in his throat.

"Be careful!"

He raised his hand, pushing Lin Changhong and Lin Chushui away, and with a sidestep, flipped his body in mid-air, dodging the incoming arrow.

After he steadied himself, he immediately shielded Lin Changhong and Lin Chushui behind him and alerted his companions.

"Assassins, everyone be careful."

His companions had drawn their personal weapons at the arrival of the first arrow, aiming in the direction it had come from.

"Mount up, everyone mount up,"

Lin Changhong decisively patted the shoulder of the subordinate in front of him, suggesting.

Rather than staying here to be surrounded, it would be better to mount up and gallop out of the range of these arrows.

"Everyone mount up!"

The subordinate, upon hearing Lin Changhong’s words, also immediately yelled to his companions.

The group quickly mounted their horses; two of them took Lin Changhong and Lin Chushui each, abandoning the other two horses, and galloped away frantically.

...

Half a day later, in a dense forest, some leaned against tree trunks gasping for air, and others sat on the ground; almost everyone had collapsed, with faces and bodies covered in fresh blood.

"How is everyone?" Lin Changhong looked at them and asked.

But obviously, everyone was faring badly. After a fierce battle, it was impossible not to carry some injuries.

"Young Master Changhong, those people are cultivators of spirit. With our current group, we definitely can’t beat them," one of the people leaning against the tree trunk said to Lin Changhong.

No matter how formidable they were, the opponents outnumbered them, and they were people from the Illusion Continent, clearly not at the same level.

Upon hearing this, Lin Changhong and Lin Chushui both clenched their teeth.

They naturally understood they were no match for those people, who were ruthless and intended to take their lives with every move, evidently because Lin Chushui’s identity had been discovered.

"I don’t understand, how did those people know we were going back to Yejun!" Lin Chushui asked.
