Chapter 621: Chapter 621 Departure 7

Luo Tianqing, having missed with his strike, felt some annoyance.

He lunged again toward Mu Lingyun.

Mu Lingyun had not yet regained her footing and tried to dodge, but it was simply too late.

She could only react instinctively, reaching out her hand to grasp Luo Tianqing’s thrusting Longsword.

Then, the Dagger in her other hand plunged straight into Luo Tianqing’s chest.

Luo Tianqing’s eyes widened in shock as he looked at Mu Lingyun’s hand and the Dagger she had driven into his chest, his face filled with disbelief.

Mu Lingyun then released her grip on the sword, her eyes cold as she said deliberately, “Since you’re so fond of Su Mingzhu, go keep her company!”

After speaking, she pulled out the Dagger.

“Clang–”

Luo Tianqing’s Longsword hit the ground, and he collapsed in response.

After he fell, blood gushed violently from his mouth and chest.

The two burly men, witnessing this turn of events, were also stunned.

When they came to their senses, they swiftly took action and started to attack Mu Lingyun directly.

Neither man had brought weapons, so they used their fists against Mu Lingyun.

Mu Lingyun had only just woken from the poison and was naturally weak.

After driving the Dagger into Luo Tianqing’s chest, she was even more exhausted.

Thus, when the two men struck her, she was sent flying, suffering injuries all over.

One of the men picked up Luo Tianqing’s Longsword and advanced, intending to kill Mu Lingyun.

At that moment, Mu Yanci and Ouyang Han leaped to the scene.

Mu Yanci blocked the Longsword with his weapon.

Ouyang Han kicked the burly man, sending him flying.

Realizing they were no match for Mu Yanci and Ouyang Han, the two men swiftly made their escape.

Mu Yanci didn’t pursue, but instead came over to Mu Lingyun, crouched down beside her, and asked softly, “Are you alright?”

Mu Lingyun opened her mouth to speak, but the next second, she fainted.

–

When Mu Lingyun woke up again, she found herself lying on the soft pallet of a swiftly moving carriage.

Her injured hand had been treated and bandaged quite well.

She lifted her injured hand, examined it, and frowned slightly.

But she didn’t dwell on it for long, recalling something else instead.

The injury on her hand was deep.

So deep the bone was visible.

If it affected her ability to perform surgery, what was she to do?

To change Ji Luochen’s fate, she must cure his illness, which meant she had to undergo another surgery.

If she couldn’t perform the surgery, then what?

She pondered with furrowed brows for a while, then finally let her hand rest, pushing the thought aside for now.

After all, worrying now was of no use.

She would need to wait until her hand healed, grasp the scalpel, and then she’d know whether the surgery could be performed.

With that in mind, she slowly sat up, then with her uninjured hand, she took a few sips from a nearby water bag.

Afterward, she moved to the carriage door, drew back the curtain, and looked outside.

The one driving the carriage was Mu Yanci.

Ouyang Han and Qin Xun rode side by side ahead, on horseback.

Mu Yanci felt the curtain being lifted, turned his head, and indeed saw Mu Lingyun.

“Awake?” Mu Yanci asked softly, “Do you feel any discomfort?”

“I’m fine now,” Mu Lingyun gave a faint smile, then said, “Thank you!”

Mu Yanci said nothing in return.

He could accept this thank you.

But in truth, the one who saved Mu Lingyun was herself, not anyone else.
