Chapter 787: The 787 caught fire
Who would have thought, as soon as the person entered, he charged at the host. Luckily, the host knew some basic martial arts; otherwise, he would have been chilled to the core during the assailant's first attack.
At this moment, Ye Jiu really couldn't control himself and wanted to go kick him a couple of times before saying anything.
This bear-like creature, not only did he injure those he shouldn't have, but he also just stood there, watching as someone came to assassinate him.
Truly a stupid thing that makes people itch with hatred.
"Where's Ye Hei?" Ye Jiu suddenly thought; Ye Hei shouldn't be unreliable like Ye Bai, but then, where had Ye Hei gone?
"Ye Hei just saw there were other assailants in black clothes elsewhere in the house, so he asked me to come save the master and went to fight himself," Ye Bai answered casually.
As the saying goes, with great skill comes great courage.
These people might be considered experts in front of others, but not in front of Ye Bai and Ye Hei.
That's why he didn't take them to heart.
However, since none of the Ye Family knew martial arts, and seeing the movements of the man in black, it was clear he was after his own life. He didn't know who sent these people, but Ye Jiu couldn't help but worry about his own family.
Thus, after hearing Ye Bai's words, Ye Jiu promptly ran toward old man Ye and Mrs. He.
Just as she ran out of the courtyard, she discovered that other parts of the Ye Family's property were already ablaze, with servants frantically trying to extinguish the fire.
Ye Jiu's heart tightened, and she turned into Mrs. He's courtyard, "Mom, Dad, are you inside?"
Meanwhile, Ye Hei was pacing in the courtyard, looking like he wanted to enter but didn't dare.
Ye Jiu approached and asked, "Ye Hei, where are my parents? Have they come out?"
"Save... save me..." Old man Ye's weak voice came from the doorway, coincidentally as the doorframe above seemed to be about to fall.
Ye Jiu hurriedly activated her Qinggong, kicked the doorframe aside, and helped Mrs. He off old man Ye's back to a safe place.
"Xiaojiu, are you alright? What about the others in the house? Why did it suddenly catch fire?" after old man Ye spoke, he suddenly heard sounds of fighting outside, "What's that noise?"
Already transformed into a human, Ye Hei glanced at Ye Jiu, "Master, there are more men in black. I'll go save the others now."
Ye Hei stood up and had taken only a few steps before he suddenly fainted.
After Ye Hei collapsed, his body quickly transformed into an eagle. While in human form, Ye Jiu hadn't noticed, but as he became an eagle, she saw that many of his feathers had been burned away.
Fortunately, as old man Ye's focus remained on Mrs. He, Ye Jiu quickly moved to Ye Hei's side and stowed him away in a space.
At that moment, several other assailants in black clothes attacked Ye Jiu from above. Luckily, Ye Jiu dodged swiftly, and in the moment she sidestepped, a dagger appeared in her hand, wounding one of the assailants.
Seeing that Ye Jiu could indeed fight, one of the remaining two men charged at her, while the other rushed towards the elderly old man Ye and Mrs. He.
Fortunately, the Sleeping Drug Ye Jiu had scattered earlier took effect, and the man in black, halfway through his charge, suddenly fell from mid-air.
Ye Jiu had taken an antidote beforehand, but Mrs. He and old man Ye had not had the chance, and thus both fainted.
Ye Jiu walked over and directly stowed old man Ye and Mrs. He into the space, checking Mrs. He before doing so, Thankfully, she was still breathing, probably just overcome by the smoke.
With hopeful thoughts, Ye Jiu quickly administered life-saving medicine to her.
