Chapter 28: Jade Flute

Chen Xin put away the white jade short flute, then dismantled it into three small pieces and strung them together to wear around her neck.

It was Chen Xin’s second personal item, the jade flute!

Since she started practicing “Invisibility,” she had been looking for a suitable weapon for herself. After two years of searching without finding anything suitable, she had to have someone custom-made it for her.

This jade flute looked like a simple musical instrument, but both the materials and craftsmanship were top-notch. If she hadn’t taken out a precious collection item in exchange, the person might not have been willing to make this jade flute for her.

What was valuable was that there were hidden mechanisms inside, so it could be dismantled into three pieces. She had always worn it as an accessory around her neck. Even if others saw it, they wouldn’t think much of it, just that Chen Xin had a unique personality and liked unusual accessories.

Today was the first time she used it, and it felt pretty good. Long-range attacks were just a thought that had occurred to her, and trying it out, the effect was still ideal, Chen Xin nodded slightly, feeling a bit smug.

Stroking the raised mane of the wind-stirred horse, she said to the lady and servant, “You should leave quickly; it’s not safe to stay here.”

Then she herself stood up, intending to leave. Saving them was already a rare act of kindness for her.

Upon hearing the ethereal voice again, Yu Yi couldn’t help but shudder and shouted loudly, “Thank you to the benefactor for saving us. Can you help us again? We are willing to repay the benefactor by any means necessary!”

Yu Yi also had the thought of taking a chance, but she didn’t dare to hope.

Huh? Repay by any means necessary?

Chen Xin’s steps stopped as she walked out, thinking that since she had already saved them, there was no need to waste manpower anymore. She might as well be even more merciful and do good deeds to the end, perhaps even change her appearance slightly and conceal her identity.

When the young lady of the Yu family and Yu Yi thought that the mysterious figure had left, they didn’t expect to hear extremely light footsteps.

They both looked up suddenly, feeling breathless.

The first thought that came to mind was a celestial being descending to earth.

The moonlight shone on Chen Xin, dressed in a purple robe, exuding exceptional grace. Beside her was a white horse, noble, mysterious, and extraordinary.

Looking at Yu Yi lying on the ground and the young lady of the Yu family standing beside her, Chen Xin said, “Bandage her wounds first, then we’ll talk about being a servant.”

The words of Chen Xin were heard by the lady and servant, and they were overjoyed. This must be the mysterious figure from earlier. As long as they could survive, that was all that mattered.

They quickly replied, “Yes, thank you, benefactor.”

“Take this and chew it in your mouth into pieces to apply to the wound.”

Saying this, Chen Xin took out some herbs she had picked along the way and handed them to the young lady of the Yu family, who wasn’t seriously injured.

“Thank you!”

Taking the herbs handed over by Chen Xin, she hurriedly chewed them up and put them on Yu Yi’s wound. It was bitter, but there was hope now.

Now that someone was willing to help them, the young lady of the Yu family felt like it was a miracle. Saying they would be servants or even cattle and horses was not an exaggeration. Moreover, if that bitch empress didn’t die, she really didn’t want to die either.

Thinking of her gentle father, her dignified and kind mother, and her personal attendant Xiao Die, she even wanted to marry him when she grew up. She didn’t expect her family to be wiped out overnight, and Xiao Die died trying to protect her.

Tears fell as she thought about it.

Spitting out the herbs and applying them to Yu Yi’s wound, tearing off her own clothes to bandage her.

“Done.” A noticeable sobbing tone sounded.

“En.”

“Chao Feng, carry her.”

Chao Feng immediately shook its head and didn’t respond. Its back was only for its master to ride on.

Seeing this, Chen Xin didn’t force it. She said to the young lady of the Yu family, “Support her, and we’ll find a secluded place in the depths of the forest to treat her wounds.”

It was said that the most dangerous place was the safest place. Let’s see if there are any other guards coming after them. If not, they’ll heal their wounds and set off again tomorrow morning. Originally, Chen Xin wanted to continue on her way and leave this place, but since Chao Feng refused, Chen Xin didn’t want to trouble her beloved horse.

“Okay.” The young lady of the Yu family replied.

Supporting Yu Yi, they followed Chen Xin’s footsteps, limping away.
