Both sides fought for a while longer, the assassins gradually gained the upper hand. Suddenly, Yelu Nanxian let out a shrill cry, finding an opportunity to leap into the air. The assassins subconsciously looked up but all they could see was a vast expanse of white, forcing them to close their eyes.
They were all highly skilled martial artists and immediately realized something was wrong. Just as they were about to open their eyes again, they didn't have the chance to do so. Feeling a cold sensation in their throats, they hurriedly covered their necks with their hands, but no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't stop the blood from gushing out. Gurgling sounds could be heard from their mouths, but none of them could say another word.
Song Qingshu nodded in agreement. Yelu Nanxian's swordplay was called the Sun Moon Celestial Sword Skill because it fully utilized the power of sunlight and moonlight. When attacking, it could interfere with the opponent's vision. If it was a cloudy day, her swordplay's power would be greatly reduced. These assassins were very unlucky. Although it was a sneak attack at night, tonight was a full moon and there wasn't a single cloud in the sky. This was why Yelu Nanxian purposely moved the battle to the yard.
In fact, she could have used the light from the candles inside the house as well, but because of the battle just now, many of the candles were extinguished and she couldn't light them again, so she could only come out and borrow the moonlight.
Yelu Nanxian used her sword to support herself, her chest rising and falling rapidly. It was obvious that using that move just now had taken a lot out of her, she had no choice but to stop and calm herself down.
"Little girl's swordplay is not bad, using the moonlight to confuse people, truly amazing." Suddenly, an old and dignified voice rang out.
"Who is it?" Yelu Nanxian's heart skipped a beat, she quickly held her sword in front of her and looked around cautiously, but she didn't see anything.
Not to mention her, even Song QingShu was extremely shocked. The other party had gotten so close to them, yet they had not been discovered. It could be imagined how high their martial arts were. What made him even more bewildered was that even now, he did not know where the other party was!
'Could it be that their martial arts are a level higher than mine?'
This thought popped up in Song Qingshu's mind, but he quickly shook his head. He believed that there were many hidden masters in this world, but to say that they were a level higher than him, it was impossible.
However, he continued to use his aura to scan the surrounding area of several dozen feet. Apart from the little girl with rosy lips and white teeth that he had seen in the inn, there was no one else.
"Why is this little girl here? Her parents are really generous. I must pay attention to protect her later so that she doesn't get caught in the crossfire." Coming from the future, he had the idea of respecting the old and loving the young.
"What is the name of this sword technique?" The old voice sounded again.
This time, Song Qingshu was really shocked, because he realized that the voice came from the mouth of the little girl. He didn't pay attention to it before, and the voice sounded old and dignified, so he subconsciously excluded the little girl. But now that he was 120% focused, he naturally noticed something strange.
"Am I dreaming?" Song Qingshu couldn't help rubbing his eyes.
At this time, that little girl had already entered the yard. Yelu Nanxian also saw her, but she didn't think too much of it. Instead, she reminded the little girl, "Little girl, it's dangerous here, leave quickly!"
Song Qingshu didn't know if he should be angry or amused at the same time. This little girl was in danger and yet she was warning others, but it was enough to show how pure and kind she was.
"What little girl, I'm your grandma!" The little girl coldly snorted, her voice full of dissatisfaction.
"Eh?" Yelu Nanxian's expression froze, looking at her as if she had seen a ghost.
"Grandma?" Song Qingshu's heart skipped a beat, this little girl with the body of a little girl and calling herself grandma, could it be that Misty Peak's Spirit Vulture Palace's Heaven Mountain Old Lady? But what did Yelu Nanxian do to provoke her to personally come down the mountain?
"Are you a human or a ghost?" Yelu Nanxian's hair stood on end, she had heard stories of old monsters possessing people. This little girl in front of her looked so young, yet her voice was so old. Her eyes were like lightning, bright and full of expression. When she looked at Yelu Nanxian, she exuded a domineering aura, no matter how she looked at her, she looked like a ghost from the legends.
The little girl said, "You don't even salute when you see your elders, so unruly. If it was any other time, I would've killed you with one palm, but seeing that little girl was worried about my safety, I'll spare your life for now." Her voice was old, her expression even older.
Thinking about how she had just called this little girl 'little girl', now hearing her calling her 'little girl' again, Yelu Nanxian felt it was absurd.
The little girl didn't answer, she continued, "Originally, I came here on a mission to take your life, but when I saw you, I felt that your swordsmanship is unique, you're beautiful, and most importantly, you have a kind heart, so I changed my mind. Of course, it's impossible for you to continue your marriage, come back with me and be my maid."
Song Qingshu's heart skipped a beat, listening to her words, it seemed like someone had asked her to kill Yelu Nanxian. But who in this world could ask the great Heaven Mountain Old Lady to help? It seemed like the main purpose was to destroy the marriage alliance between the two countries, was it the Southern Song Dynasty or the Mongols?
"Why does your voice sound so old, who are you?" Seeing the little girl slowly walking towards her, Yelu Nanxian felt a chill, goosebumps rising all over her body, she knew this was a sign of impending danger.
"This is the Misty Peak's Spirit Vulture Palace's Palace Lord, Heaven Mountain Old Lady. Of course she has the body of a little girl, but her voice is old." Heaven Mountain Old Lady's martial arts were too high, Song Qingshu was worried that Yelu Nanxian would be in danger, so he came out from the shadows.
"Eh, I misjudged you, I didn't think that Liao's marriage escort general would be such a skilled martial artist." Heaven Mountain Old Lady was even more surprised than Song Qingshu when she saw him suddenly appear, she didn't even notice that there was a third person in the crowd.
When Yelu Nanxian saw the clothes he was wearing, she immediately understood that he was the Marriage General who had made her wait for so long. Originally, she had been dissatisfied with him, which was why she had rejected his requests to see her several times in the past few days. But now, in this strange situation, seeing him come out, she felt a sense of security in her heart.
"How could I not have misjudged you? I thought you were just a child in the mountains, but I didn't expect you to be a peerless expert." Song QingShu had changed her appearance, so the two of them were naturally unable to recognize her.
Heaven Mountain Old Lady gave a humph: "On account of the kindness you've shown with your mouth today, I'll spare your life today." She had dominated the world for decades, her tone was naturally filled with disdain. Although she was startled that she didn't notice his presence, she didn't think he was a match for her.
