Chapter 548 Exiting the Cave
Qin Huiyin pointed at the shadow running past and said, "There's something wrong with that person."
Before Zhuge Congfeng could move, the assassins beside him had already caught up with him.
Zhuge Congfeng looked at Qin Huiyin and asked, "Do you know that there are assassins following you?"
"I know." Qin Huiyin admitted, "The Master arranged two assassins to protect me secretly with my consent."
"How do you know that man wants to start a fight at the market?"
When Zhuge Congfeng heard that Puyang Qiubai had arranged the personnel with her consent, he muttered in his heart that this was something his brother would do.
Qin Huiyin was a girl after all, and it would be extremely disrespectful to her to arrange for assassins without her consent. After all, no one liked being stared at, even if it was in the name of doing good for themselves, it was a bit perverted.
Puyang Qiubai was a natural-born gentleman, never doing anything beneath the dignity of a gentleman. If the Puyang family had been a bit more despicable, they wouldn't have ended up in such a predicament. You have to know that the Puyang family are naturally wise and very good at winning people's hearts, making the major families obedient to them.
"I don't know!" Qin Huiyin said, "I only know that someone wants to kill me, and they want to kill me without anyone noticing. It's not convenient to go to the village, because your people are everywhere. There are no opportunities to attack anywhere else. Only in this market, there are all kinds of people, so it's normal to have some accidents."
The assassin came back quickly, carrying a middle-aged man who had been thrown into the crowd and no one noticed him.
"He wants to bite his tongue to commit suicide..." Qin Huiyin shouted when she saw that the middle-aged man looked strange.
Zhuge Congfeng directly removed the man's jaw, stopping him from biting his tongue to commit suicide.
"I will personally interrogate this man," Zhuge Congfeng said. "He wants to die, but it won't be that easy."
"I believe you, but I still want to go shopping." Qin Huiyin said, "Why don't you go back and interrogate first, and this big brother can stay and protect me."
"Someone wants to kill you, and you're still in the mood to go shopping. What's going on in your little head? Are you too trusting of us, or are you not afraid of death?"
"Of course I'm afraid of death, but I believe in your abilities and that you won't watch me die. This guy is just a small fry, and the person behind him hasn't been caught yet, which means there must be more than one. If I make a few more rounds, maybe I can lure a few more snakes out of their holes, killing two birds with one stone! Anyway, since we're here, don't waste this opportunity. I'm just the bait now, and who knows, I might even catch a big fish?"
Zhuge Congfeng asked his assassins to take the middle-aged man back, and he stayed behind to accompany Qin Huiyin shopping.
"Brother Congfeng." Puyang Huan ran over from the opposite side. "What a coincidence, meeting you here."
Zhuge Congfeng pulled his arm out of Puyang Huan's grasp and said calmly, "Aren't you feeling unwell? Why are you here?"
"I'm not feeling well, but I can still come shopping if I'm not in good health. But Brother Congfeng has never accompanied me once." Puyang Huan looked at him aggrievedly, "Brother Congfeng, I'm your fiancée..."
"I'm sorry, that was decided by our elders before they died. After all, you and I have no feelings for each other, so there's no need to abide by the dead marriage agreement."
Zhuge Congfeng listened to Puyang Huan's accusation and suddenly had an epiphany.
He used to think his marriage was decided by his parents and the matchmaker, that it was the only thing they left to their descendants, and he should abide by it. But just now, when Puyang Huan cried and accused him of never going shopping with her, he felt that he couldn't go on like this.
He didn't love this woman. Even if he kept his promise and married her, he wouldn't truly love her. She was still young, and it would be truly cruel for her to spend the rest of her life with a husband who didn't love her. Even if he tried hard to be a qualified husband, respected her, and gave her everything she wanted, if he didn't love her, he didn't love her. He could give her everything else, but not his heart.
He no longer wants to keep his engagement.
It had nothing to do with Qin Huiyin next to him, even if he admitted that he had feelings for her.
Puyang Huan looked at Zhuge Congfeng and felt like the sky was falling.
"You won't marry me? What should I do? I am your fiancée. If you don't want me, I can only die." Puyang Huan said as he rushed towards the opposite side.
Zhuge Congfeng stopped her.
Puyang Huan cried so hard that her eyes were filled with tears, which attracted the attention of many people.
Everyone pointed and talked, their eyes fixed on Qin Huiyin.
Zhuge Congfeng's face is very distinctive, especially with his silver hair. You can tell his identity with just a glance.
Looking at Puyang Huan and the unfamiliar Qin Huiyin next to them, it is not difficult to guess that the people passing by are cramming some bloody love triangle plot in their minds.
"Um...I'll excuse myself first." Qin Huiyin left first as a courtesy.
Zhuge Congfeng wanted to follow but was stopped by Puyang Huan.
Only after they had walked far away did Qin Huiyin look back and slow down her pace after making sure that she could no longer see Zhuge Congfeng and Puyang Huan.
She stopped and turned back stiffly, only to see a wolfhound rushing towards her from the opposite side.
There was a faint green light in the wolfhound's eyes.
Qin Huiyin's legs felt weak, and she closed her eyes as she watched it pounce towards her.
Another assassin instantly appeared in front of her and started fighting with the wolfhound.
"Yinyin..." Zhuge Congfeng ran over. "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, but..." Qin Huiyin pointed across.
Zhuge Congfeng protected Qin Huiyin behind him and watched the fight between the assassins and the wolfhounds vigilantly.
The fight here alarmed many people, who quickly dodged away.
"How did you get away?" She was referring to Puyang Huan's entanglement with him.
"Knock her out and have them take her back." Zhuge Congfeng said, "I'm worried something might happen to you, so I don't want to get entangled with her."
"That's the teacher's sister. I heard that you have been looking for her for more than ten years, and you knocked her out just like that?" Qin Huiyin was surprised.
"I don't know how to explain it." It was a very strange feeling. Before I found it, I really wanted to find it, but after I found it, I felt relieved.
Bang! The assassin killed the wolfhound.
"This... my wolfhound..." A young man ran out and saw the wolfhound lying on the ground. He knelt down and stroked it with heartache.
"Your wolfhound almost hurt someone." Zhuge Congfeng looked at the young man opposite him coldly. "If you can't control it, don't train it."
The Zhuge family possessed the ability to tame beasts, but only twins remained. Anyone else who wished to inherit the Zhuge family's talent needed to cultivate it. Clearly, the young man opposite him wanted to become the heir of the Zhuge family.
"Master Zhuge, my wolfhound is usually very well behaved!" the young man said. "My training has shown initial success. He often walks around the market and has never hurt anyone. Is there something about this girl that irritated him? Otherwise, why would he behave like this?"
