Ye Jingxuan was indeed just someone who stared at her, and there was no other action. Hua Yanran was completely unaware of these things, and she was only interested in the lingering stories in Xie Xuan's mouth every day.

Everything was very calm. Xie Xuan should have breathed a sigh of relief, but she knew that all this was just the tranquility before the storm, and the storm was about to come and the wind filled the building!

"Reason, why are you not energetic these two days?" Hua Yanran didn't notice that Xie Xuan was absent-minded, but she just didn't ask. But seeing that Xie Xuan has been like this, she felt that it was time to express her concern.

Ye Jingxuan hid it from her, and Xie Xuan certainly would not expose it ignorantly, so she just smiled and said, "It's nothing. Maybe I'm a little tired of it after riding the boat for so long!"

"After tomorrow's Yongcui Gorge, you will be able to go to Cuifeng Town for another two days. Otherwise, I will talk to Xulang and ask him to stop the boat for two days. Let's get off the boat and take a walk?" Hua Yanran suggested with great interest.

Xie Xuan's heart moved. Hua Yanran didn't like to move, so she didn't want to go for a walk. It was clearly just for her. Although she called out sister, it was a chance meeting after all. Xie Xuan really didn't expect that Hua Yanran would treat her so well, so good that she felt a little ashamed of bearing.

"Sister Hua, don't. Master Ye is afraid he is busy rushing to Xi'an, but don't delay the trip because of me."

"If you want to talk about this scenery, Cuifeng Town is no better than Yongcui Gorge. Unfortunately, the water bandits in Yongcui Gorge are now suffering. Otherwise, they could stop the boats on the spot and visit them, so they would not delay anything." Hua Yanran sighed.

However, Xie Xuan's eyelids twitched, and a strange light flashed very quickly in Xing's eyes.

When Hua Yanran wanted to sleep, she said goodbye to her, came out of the cabin, walked slowly to the deck, faced the river breeze, and looked at the river surface.

The river surface was still wide at this time. Although she thought she was well-informed, the Yongcui Gorge was just a canyon above the river channel. This was the first time she heard about it today. But since it was called "Gorge", the waterway must be narrow, and the water bandits were in trouble, so they relied on the terrain.

Xie Xuan remembered the tincture oil stored in the warehousing room in the underpass and Ye Jingxuan's attitude, and sweat suddenly popped up in her palm. It seemed... it was tomorrow.

The sound of the wind suddenly changed in her ears. Xie Xuan was distracted for a moment. When she realized that she had just had time to turn around, she saw two slender chains breaking through the air. Behind her was the side of the ship. For a moment, she could not avoid it and was actually wrapped in the two chains.

Xie Xuan subconsciously struggled for a moment, but failed to break away. When she raised her eyes, she saw a black shadow rising into the air like a rabbit rising and falling, pounced towards her. A short knife in her hand was sharp, and the sharp tip of the knife was thrust downwards and pierced her chest.

In the flash of lightning, Xie Xuan instinctively reached out to block the enemy, but because of the chain, she could only stretch out half of her arm and temporarily blocked the tip of the knife from half of her arm.

The person who came was also a masked black, with fierce murderous aura in his eyes exposed outside the black scarf. He used a little bit of effort. Xie Xuan was originally a woman, and there was a gap in strength between men and women. She was tied to chains and could not be used. Even though she used all her strength, she still couldn't turn the tide. She could only watch the short knife being pressed down by the masked man in black, approaching her chest inch by inch.

Did she escape from the capital but failed to escape the catastrophe of death? No! If she died here, how could she be worthy of her mother who was determined to save her? How could she be worthy of her family members who died in vain? Who else could find out the truth, who else could return her father and her Xie family's innocence?

No! She can't die! Oh my God! If you let me travel through time, will you let me go through these things and let me die again? Where did I offend you?

Seeing that the tip of the knife had already pressed against Xie Xuan's clothes, and after a little more, it was about to penetrate her clothes, sink into her flesh and pierce her heart. Xie Xuan's face had already grown purple due to force, but it still couldn't stop the tip of the knife from falling. Xie Xuan's heart called me to stop my life and wanted to accept my fate and close her eyes.

God seemed to finally hear the cry in her heart, and the pressure on her body suddenly eased. The short knife that was about to pierce into her chest suddenly pulled away. Then, the sound of short-soldiers rushed into her ears.

"How is it? Is it okay?" Someone helped her and untied the chains on her body. The words of concern sounded in her empty ears.

She raised her head in a daze and ran into Ye Jingxuan's calm black eyes. Her heart, which was already panicked, seemed to have fallen into reality. Xie Xuan shook her head gently, turned her head to look at the deck, and several figures were fighting each other.

It was Ye Jingxuan's guards and the man in black who assassinated her. The man was very skilled. Even if he was besieged by several people, he had not yet shown any obvious defeat. However, it was only a matter of time. After all, two fists could not match the hands.

However, the man in black obviously understood this truth. After finding a gap, he retreated without any desire to fight. With a "thump" sound, he jumped into the river, and a bubble popped up, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Ye Jingxuan looked down at Jiang Fang who could not see half of the figure, and said with a grim expression, "Go and find out the matter for me."

"Yes!" The guards were upset that so many people were besieging and letting people go. He heard the order and quickly left. Ye Jingxuan turned around and glared at Xie Xuan again, "Brother Xie, you can call the assassin even if you blow a wind on the deck. It seems that you didn't remember the request that I ask you to stay well! From tomorrow, you should stay by Yan Niang's side well, don't run around anymore!"

Xie Xuan frowned. Is she going to put her under house arrest? But... is with Hua Yanran?

"If you are uneasy, bring your younger brother with you." Ye Jingxuan frowned and added. When Xie Xuan's eyes flashed, he had turned his head and left.

Xie Xuan stood there for a moment, and her apricot eyes slowly condensed into a dark color.

On the Ye family's boat, the eldest son Ye was the biggest, so he naturally had to listen to the boss's words. Therefore, Xie Xuan returned to the cabin and called Xie Chen. He went to Hua Yanran's cabin early the next morning. Hua Yanran must have heard from Ye Jingxuan that Xie Chen was also coming to be with her, which was very welcome.

When the boat reached noon, the two sides gradually moved closer and the river surface gradually narrowed. Xie Xuan looked out from the window, knowing that Yongcui Gorge was about to arrive, which means that the calmness at the moment was about to be broken.

As if to prove Xie Xuan's guess, the hull suddenly vibrated and stopped.

Here comes. Xie Xuan raised her eyebrows.
