nThe masked man sidestepped her attack and attacked at the same time.

nAfter a few rounds, Chu Luo suddenly felt a little strange. This person’s skills seemed a little familiar.

nWhile she was in a daze, the masked man grabbed her fist with his broad palm and pulled her back with great force.

nStartled, Chu Luo tapped her toes and was about to jump up. Unexpectedly, the masked man’s other hand was faster. He blocked her, and his large palm grabbed her slender waist. He brought her behind the rockery and pressed Chu Luo’s shoulder against the rock.

n“Let go of me if you know what’s good for you!” Chu Luo struggled, feeling dissatisfied. Just as she was about to use poison, a familiar low and cold voice suddenly came from above her head.

n“Don’t move.”

nChu Luo suddenly looked up and was about to speak. “Li…”

n“Shut up.”

nDispleased, Chu Luo retracted her hand from his grasp. However, one of her shoulders was still being pressed down by him, so she couldn’t move.

n“Let go of me.”

nOnly then did Li Yan let go of her.

nThe two of them were a little close. Chu Luo wanted to get out of his sight first, but just as she moved, she suddenly heard the sound of fabric rustling behind her.

nChu Luo: “…”

nLi Yan lowered his eyes to look at the little thing whose face had turned red from holding it in. There was a question in his confused look.

nChu Luo looked up at Li Yan with the word “unlucky” in her big eyes. She said, “My dress seems to have been torn by the rock.”

nLi Yan looked at her with a complicated expression.

n“What kind of expression is that!” Chu Luo raised her hand and pushed him unhappily. “Can you not be so close to me?”

nLi Yan pursed his lips and looked at her. A few seconds later, he took a large step back.

nChu Luo thought for a while. It would definitely be unrealistic to walk out and return to her room to change her clothes. It would be terrible if someone saw her.

nShe looked at Li Yan and probed, “Can you help me get a set of clothes?”

n“No,” Li Yan refused bluntly. There was no room for negotiation.

nChu Luo glared at him angrily. “If you hadn’t suddenly pressed me against the rock, my dress wouldn’t have been ruined by it!”

nAfter saying that, she tilted her head to look at Cui Xudong, who’d had his acupoints sealed. Her eyes lit up, and in the next second, she pointed at him in disdain and said to Li Yan, “Then help me remove his suit jacket.”

nLi Yan didn’t even look at Cui Xudong. His gaze turned cold and he refused in a low voice, “No.”

nChu Luo gritted her teeth and looked at him. Was there no way to communicate properly with this guy? She really wanted to get Phoenix to come out and teach him a lesson.

nIn the end, she held it in and said with a straight face, “Then take off your coat for me to wear… Surely you’re not expecting me to walk out like this?”

nLi Yan didn’t speak immediately this time but frowned at her.

nIt made Chu Luo want to pounce on him and bite him.

nChu Luo looked at the cold man in front of her and was about to say, “I’ll take his clothes off if you don’t take off yours,” when Li Yan suddenly raised his hand and placed it on his collar.

nHe was still wearing his black casual clothes tonight. The weather was hot, and he only had a singlet on inside.

nLi Yan had been in a wheelchair for several years and looked very thin. However, after he took off his coat, the results of his two months of training were immediately revealed.

nA thin layer of muscles covered him. That kind of unique strength, in addition to the sharpness and evil aura emanating from inside, made people not dare to look directly at him.

nChu Luo’s eyes circled his body and her cheeks subconsciously turned a little red. She looked at him and asked casually, “What are you doing here?”

n“I’m looking for practice targets.”

n“…”

nHe came this far to look for practice targets?

nCould it be that most of the people who came to attend the banquet had a grudge against him?!

nAt the thought of this, she watched him take off his coat with sparkling eyes. She awkwardly took the coat from his hand and prepared to put it on.

nHowever, when she moved, she heard the sound of fabric tearing behind her.

n“…”

nChu Luo glanced at Li Yan, who was standing there, and said with a stifled expression, “I think it’s caught there. Help me fix it.”

nThe word “troublesome” was written in Li Yan’s eyes, but still, he moved towards her. As he approached, he grabbed her shoulder and moved his hand around to remove the cloth caught on the rock.

nChu Luo was caught off guard and almost jumped up.

nA low voice sounded beside her ear. “Don’t move.”

nChu Luo was a little uncomfortable. “Hurry up. What if someone comes?”

nLi Yan’s hand paused. Seeing that her fair skin was a little red from pressing against the rock, his eyes flickered. In the next second, he took a step back and stared at her with his cold eyes. He said coldly, “I’ll gouge out the eyes of whoever dares to come.”

nChu Luo: “…”

n“Why are you still standing there? Give me back my coat in three minutes.”

n“…”

nChu Luo knew that this man meant what he said. She glared at him with dissatisfaction, then quickly put on his coat and ran out of the rockery.

nHowever, she stopped after running out.

nShe turned to Li Yan, who was standing there, and said, “Help me keep an eye on this person. Don’t let anyone else come and take him away. I have some things to ask him.”

nWithout waiting for Li Yan to answer, she continued running.

nLi Yan watched as the figure ran away and turned to look at Cui Xudong as if he was looking at a dead person.

nCui Xudong couldn’t move or speak. At this moment, with Li Yan staring at him, he felt a gust of cold air shoot up from his feet and his body trembled uncontrollably.

nHe looked at him warily.

nAt this moment, Li Yan moved. He walked up to Cui Xudong and knocked him out with his hand.

nAfter Chu Luo quickly changed and came over, she saw Li Yan and the unconscious Cui Xudong standing behind the stone mountain.

nChu Luo returned the coat to him and squatted down in front of Cui Xudong. She used a tree branch to lift his eyelids and took a look.

n“Eh?”

nWhat she saw made her frown.

nAfter Cui Xudong fainted, there were no pupils in his eyes. “This person used his soul to transact with someone. No wonder he has this aura on him.”

n“Transacted with whom?”

n“Someone who can control that kind of thing.”

nChu Luo turned to look at Li Yan. Seeing that he didn’t look surprised, she suddenly thought of the curse on his leg.

nAt this moment, Li Yan looked up. “Look at him.”

nChu Luo quickly turned around to look at Cui Xudong, only to see a small person jump out of his body and escape.

nChu Luo quickly raised her hand and fiercely pressed the small person back into his body.

nShe chanted an incantation at the same time. After she was done, she tapped Cui Xudong’s eyebrows, quickly stood up, and retreated a little.

nLi Yan looked at her.

nChu Luo said, “This person is being controlled by an evil technique. As long as his body is threatened, the person controlling him will be able to sense it.”

n“What did you do to him just now?”

n“I made the person controlling him unable to sense that he’s being threatened. At the same time, I made him lose his memory of seeing us just now.”

n“What do you want to do?”

n“I want to ask him about something.”

nJust as Chu Luo finished speaking, lively voices sounded as someone walked out from the villa. The two of them looked at each other and left at the same time.

n
