Chapter 116 Someone is following
Feng Qingyue and Su Jin walked out of the restaurant. The streets were crowded with people and the lights were dim. The prosperity and noise of the night made people feel a little lost.
They walked side by side on the street, their steps light, but each of them had heavy thoughts on their minds.
"Jin'er, come on, I'll take you to meet some people." Feng Qingyue said softly, her tone gentle but revealing a sense of determination.
Su Jin nodded slightly, the confusion and hesitation in her eyes gone. After a moment of silence, she whispered, "Okay, Goddess."
Feng Qingyue smiled and shook her head, whispering, "Outside, I'm still Feng Qingyue, so you should just call me Qingyue."
Su Jin nodded, her eyes softening.
Their smiles were exchanged on this dimly lit street, and trust in their hearts was like an invisible bond that tightly connected them.
When they reached a quiet alley, Feng Qingyue suddenly stopped and raised her brows slightly.
"Someone is following us." She whispered, her tone calm but alert.
Su Jin's eyes suddenly became sharp, he turned around quickly and accurately, and the expression on his face became as cold as ice.
Feng Qingyue glanced around and continued to move forward, her steps light but steady, her eyes locked on the followers.
Sure enough, several men in black followed quietly from the corner of the street. Their steps were light, but they could not hide their inner tension and anxiety.
The two did not rush to act, but exchanged glances, as if they had reached some kind of tacit understanding in the brief communication.
Suddenly, Feng Qingyue smiled slightly, and her body walked forward like the wind and turned the corner. Su Jin followed closely behind, his footsteps almost silent.
They were like two cheetahs, quickly disappearing from the sight of the men in black.
When the men in black saw that the figures had disappeared, they hurriedly ran out from all directions, anxiously searching for their traces.
Feng Qingyue suddenly turned around and smiled coldly: "Are you looking for us?"
Several men in black looked at each other and quickly pounced on them.
"Just you guys?" Feng Qingyue sneered, drew out his sword, and the sword light flashed.
"You are unlucky." Feng Qingyue said coldly, the long sword in her hand had already been unsheathed, and a cold light flashed at the tip of the sword.
The first man in black swung his sword fiercely, but Feng Qingyue dodged it nimbly and struck him in the chest with a backhanded strike. "You're too slow."
"Don't underestimate us!" Another man in black roared, with a bit of unwillingness, and rushed towards Su Jin while swinging his sword.
A cold light flashed in Su Jin's eyes. She quickly retreated to avoid the attack and whispered, "Do you want to die quickly?"
Before he finished speaking, Su Jin appeared like a ghost, swung his sword to counterattack, and directly forced the man back, "Your speed is not worthy of this battle."
Feng Qingyue glanced at the enemies who were trying to surround her and sneered, "You dare to surround me? You are too confident."
She suddenly exerted her strength, and the sword slashed across rapidly, forcing the men in black to retreat, unable to move. "Come on, try to see if you can hit me," she challenged.
A man in black was furious and rushed forward, stabbing Feng Qingyue's vitals with his sword.
She turned sideways lightly and said coldly, "Too slow."
Then, she swung her sword across, and the long sword accurately cut through the enemy's shoulder, knocking him down.
Another man in black stepped forward to take over, but was quickly restrained by Su Jin. She sneered, "You don't stand a chance."
Her sword stabbed at the opponent like lightning, and the enemy fell to the ground without even having time to react.
Panic appeared in the eyes of the last remaining man in black.
Just as he was about to escape, Feng Qingyue suddenly shouted coldly, "Want to leave!"
The man in black was caught off guard. Feng Qingyue's palm wind was like thunder, pressing down hard on the man's neck and pushing him directly to the wall.
Su Jin quickly stepped forward and grabbed the enemy's wrist tightly to prevent him from resisting.
"Who sent you?" Feng Qingyue's voice was like an icy blade, her eyes fierce.
The man in black struggled for a few times, but seeing that he could not escape, his face turned pale. He suddenly clenched his teeth, as if he wanted to commit suicide to keep the secret.
Feng Qingyue was quick to stuff a piece of cloth into his mouth and said coldly, "If you want to die, answer my questions first. Otherwise, I will make you live a life worse than death."
The man in black looked at her in horror, then finally nodded, indicating that he was willing to speak.
"We are from the Dark Hall." The man in black whispered.
"Dark Hall?" A hint of coldness flashed in Feng Qingyue's eyes. "Who are you looking for?"
The man in black lowered his head and said calmly, "We are looking for the head of the Sky Pavilion."
Feng Qingyue sneered, "The Dark Hall really refuses to give up." Her voice suddenly became sharp, "Who told you to kill me?"
The man in black was silent for a moment, as if he was considering whether to continue hiding the truth. Finally, he stammered, "We are only following the orders of the hall master to look for you."
Feng Qingyue frowned, her eyes sharp as a knife: "What exactly are they planning?"
She gently released the black-clad man's neck and signaled Su Jin to let go.
The man in black fell to the ground, gasping for breath, his eyes full of fear.
"Where is your hall master?" Feng Qingyue asked again, her tone still cold.
The man in black gritted his teeth and finally whispered, "No one knows the exact location of the hall master."
Feng Qingyue nodded slightly, as if thinking about how to use this information.
After a moment of silence, she turned to Su Jin with a determined look: "We have to go to the Dark Hall."
Su Jin didn't say much, just nodded silently, his eyes full of determination and fighting spirit.
"Since the Dark Hall refuses to give up, let's go and meet the hall master in person." Feng Qingyue said coldly.
Su Jin gripped the hilt of the sword at his waist tightly, his eyes firm and fearless.
Feng Qingyue looked down at the man in black who had fallen to the ground and said coldly, "Tell me, where is the Dark Hall's lair?"
The man in black raised his head with difficulty, a trace of despair flashing in his eyes, but he had no way out and could only whisper: "I... know..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Qingyue's sword was unsheathed and quickly cut through the air.
Without hesitation, she thrust the sword into the chest of the man in black. Blood gushed out and the man in black screamed, his eyes filled with despair as he fell to the ground with a bang.
"Useless thing." Feng Qingyue put away the sword calmly, with no fluctuation in her eyes.
Su Jin glanced at the fallen man in black and said calmly, "Since he has betrayed the Dark Hall, keeping him alive will be a problem."
Feng Qingyue nodded and said in a deep voice, "Let's go."
The two men turned and left, their steps as firm as the wind, their goal clear - the Dark Hall must be eliminated.

At the same time, Jun Lingyuan returned home from Xuanyuan Pavilion, looking a little tired, but found that Feng Qingyue was not there.
He was slightly shocked and immediately asked the servants in the mansion: "Where is Miss Feng? Where did she go?"
The guard replied respectfully, "Master, Miss Feng left this morning, saying she had something to do."
Jun Lingyuan frowned, feeling uneasy.
Feng Qingyue has always been steady and collected, so why hasn't she returned yet so late?
He stood in front of the study window, staring outside, and the uneasiness in his heart grew heavier.
"She never makes people worry. What happened?" Jun Lingyuan whispered to himself, unable to hide his anxiety.
As time passed, the anxiety in my heart became more and more obvious.
Even if Feng Qingyue was busy, how could she ignore time? Did she encounter some accident?
Jun Lingyuan could no longer suppress the uneasiness in his heart.

The next morning, Jun Lingyuan finally couldn't help it. He walked to the door of the study and ordered coldly: "Qian San, send someone to find her and bring her back safely."
Qian San quickly dispatched several secret guards in the mansion to search for Feng Qingyue separately.
No matter where she went or what she encountered, she must be found as soon as possible to ensure her safety.
Jun Lingyuan stood at the door of the study with a stern expression, his eyes filled with deep anxiety and helplessness.
He couldn't calm down. Feng Qingyue was not someone who would make others worry. Did something happen to her?
