The string of water droplets flew towards Gu Youyou ahead of the silver dots launched by the strange man, striking the window where she was. With a plop, the window fell shut in response.
At the same time, a small silver bead shot out by the man also lodged in that door and window.
Gu Youyou was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she fell to the ground.
When she saw Jin Zijin chasing after the wild man on the back mountain and running faster than a rabbit, she knew that the place she had traveled to contained things like martial arts.
Now, seeing that strange man using something shot from his fingers, comparable to a modern gun, once again confirmed her suspicion.
Of course, the man who hugged her to sleep every night was even more terrifying; the water droplets he kicked with his feet actually plopped the window shut.
One should know that this window was broken, long-neglected, somewhat deformed. During the day, with all her might, Gu Youyou wasn’t able to close it, so she had no choice but to give up.
But now, it was shut with a plop by the water droplet kicked up by Jin Zijin’s foot!
Separated by a wall, a dispute arose between two men in the pouring rain.
"She has discovered us, she must be killed!"
"The rain is too heavy, she won’t hear, hurry and go!"
"No, that flash of lightning, she saw me! Get out of the way!"
Jin Zijin extended his strong arm, blocking the path of that strange man, and said with a deep voice, "I can’t let you touch her, this is an order!"
"You..." The strange man seemed somewhat angry but powerless, he sighed deeply, "I don’t understand why you would marry a completely useless village girl?"
"That’s none of your concern."
"But by doing so, you’re putting me in danger. Who is she exactly, to be worth such risk?"
Jin Zijin didn’t speak further, and the other man fell silent too. The stalemate persisted for a while until the stranger eventually said, "Fine, I trust you."
As he turned to leave, the strange man paused, adding, "That Taoist is not to be trusted!" After dropping this cryptic remark, he left without lingering, striding away!
Jin Zijin still did not speak!
The conversation between the two men in the pouring rain did not miss a single word as it fell into Gu Youyou’s ears, unknown to anyone, her hearing was much keener than the average person, this was her own secret.
So even though she was frightened by what she heard, she could only pretend to be unaware of anything.
She heard the man rapidly leave, heard the sound of his footsteps on the roof tiles; he was leaving via the rooftop, very quickly.
She also heard Jin Zijin lifting his heavy footsteps, stepping in the water, slowly approaching the door!
Each step, as if stepping into her heart, caused her a start!
Gu Youyou suddenly missed her bodyguard team from modern times, which protected her from those who didn’t want to see her in power, making her feel secure with their high-quality service.
But now she was alone.
Jin Zijin returned, and seeing Gu Youyou sitting on the ground, he stopped by the door and didn’t move forward. Instead, he went to a corner and took off his soaked clothes.
Gu Youyou glanced at him out of the corner of her eye, not daring to turn her head.
Her vision was also quite good; although she couldn’t see clearly in such a night, she could make out a blurry silhouette.
This, like the secret of her ears, was unknown to anyone.
Gu Youyou could not let him know these secrets of hers.
He said she didn’t hear the conversation with the strange man in the rain, then she didn’t hear it.
After a while, Jin Zijin changed his clothes, and Gu Youyou also stood up.
