His Rui

Chapter 517 Fight In Xi Manor

An Ju was silently hiding in the corner of the garden that was situated in the backyard of the Plum Courtyard when her body tensed slightly.

Her eyes went to Li Rui who was silently tending to the plants and teaching the old physician how to take care of them.

The old physician had a very serious as well as an amazed expression on his face.

However, that was not what An Ju cared about at this moment.

She was instead worried about the new presence she could feel at this moment.

An Shing was not at the front gate to guard Xi Manor anymore but An San was still there. Still, since she could feel an invader's presence, An Ju felt that either it was some kind of trap to send An Shing away from Xi Manor or the invader was so strong that even An San couldn't fight against him.

Both kind of thoughts made An Ju very worried.

She was worried not for herself but for Li Rui. Without wasting a moment, An Ju flew out of the garden. She first locked the door so that no one would be able to enter that area even though she knew that since the invader was a shadow guard, it won't be of any use.

After doing this, An Ju first went to the room where Xi Ling was having his afternoon nap.

She didn't know if taking Xi Ling to the garden would be safer than keeping him here inside the room.

After much thought, An Ju shouted for Liu Lan.

Liu Lan was nearby and came there immediately.

"Stay here with Young Master."

An Ju told Liu Lan and then flew away without giving any explanation.

Li Hua was inside the garden with Li Rui so An Ju was slightly relieved that she was not alone.

Assuring herself, again and again, she flew towards the entrance of the Plum Courtyard. But even before she reached there, she saw him…the invaders …or she should say them.

They were four.

An Ju noticed, Her eyes went sharp and cold as she immediately flew towards the invader who didn't stop even after seeing her and raised her leg to kick him away.

The shadow guard whose face was covered with a mask raised his eyebrows seeing this.

He didn't know whether Xi Ying's shadow guards were really that capable but he had come to know that they were really daring.

It was impossible for An Ju not to feel that he was no less powerful than her but still she decided to be the first person to start the fight.

The first kick harmed neither side but both of them came down on the ground and looked at each other coldly.

Confusion flashed through An Ju's eyes as she looked at the mask of the shadow guard for a few moments. She found it familiar.

And when she recognized the mask finally, An Ju's eyes became sharper and colder.

Youxio organization shadow guards…..what are they doing here?

"What do you want?"

She asked them the question she had inside her mind directly.

However, as soon as she finished her words, she heard a loud sound of laughter from behind the man who was standing in front of her.

Even the one who was standing in front of her had amusement-filled eyes.

Since her ears were quite sharp, she heard one of them saying

"His voice …haha…it is so less manly. What kind of shadow guards does Lord Xi have?"

An Ju's face didn't have any change of emotion. She wore the same black dress other shadow guards in Xi Manor wore, Her long hair was tied in the same kind of hairstyle other shadow guards did and her chest was bound tightly so it was actually a little difficult to recognize her as a woman.

Combined with that, she always puts effort into making herself look less womanly. However, her voice…she didn't have any way to change it.

And it was not the first time she was hearing this type of comment about herself. The first time when she had met her current companion shadow guards, An Si had mocked her the same way. However, after they had come to know the truth that she was a woman, she relished in their shock and got her revenge.

Her voice was less manly because she was a woman for god sake!

However, she didn't have any interest in arguing with these invaders who were also the shadow guards of the Youxio organization.

The three shadow guards who were laughing also stopped laughing when they saw that they didn't get the reaction they wanted from An Ju.

While the one who was standing in front of An Ju looked at her with interest.

An Ju didn't notice this because only his eyes were visible to her and she never looked at him seriously. When she noticed that they have not given any answer yet she asked them

"What are you doing here? Perhaps Youxio's shadow guards have lost their way."

At the same time, An Ju took out her sword as she finished her words as if she was warning them they better have forgotten their way because if they really have come intentionally to Xi Manor then there was going to be a big fight.

However, the four of them look unafraid. As if their fearless stance was not enough, their leader even told An Ju

"We are here to kill Madam Xi."

From the response only, one could tell that the leader of Youxio was quite straightforward.

However, An Ju chuckled coldly because, in her eyes, the man standing in front of her was nothing but stupid.

The leader seemed to understand the unsaid words from the chuckle but smiled merely behind that mask.

His eyes never left An Ju as he said in a very gentle voice.

"So you should not block our way and let us do our work."

Though he had come here to fight with the shadow guard of Xi Ying, after seeing An Ju, the leader didn't know why he didn't wish to fight at all now.

In fact, he had already started to think that after finishing his job, he would take An Ju with him and make him a member of his organization.

It was obvious that this younger brother had really interested him and hence in Youxio where the people had to grovel on the ground for so many days during the training, even then they don't have the full guarantee to get included, he was ready to include An Ju just like that.

On the other hand, the smile on An Ju's face went colder and sharper.

'Does he really think that as long as she was here she would let them go inside?'

With a cold smile on her lips, she told them the same

"Then according to what I think we will need to have a small fight to throw you out of Xi Manor."

And just like that, without even waiting for a moment, An Ju flew towards the man standing in front of her with her sword.
