Chapter 440 In the end, she was underestimated again.
Another incense stick's worth of time passed.
Not only were her subordinates impatient, but even Yue Niangzi began to doubt her own judgment.
Chu Yueli didn't follow at all!
That damned woman, she really overestimated her abilities!
Lady Moon suddenly stood up, pushed open the door, and strode out.
It was eerily quiet outside; not even a ghost could be seen, let alone Chu Yueli.
She was truly furious at her own stupidity and Chu Yueli's incompetence. She was stupid because she was self-righteous and thought that Chu Yueli could keep up, but Chu Yueli simply did not have that ability.
"Master!" Several subordinates behind him quickly followed, their faces all looking extremely grim.
They had been on guard for most of the night, but had come up empty-handed. The key point was that the decision was made by the hall master, and even though they were furious, they dared not speak out.
Lady Moon stamped her feet in anger: "Chu Yue Li, one day I will chop you up with my own hands!"
"What do we do now?" A dozen or so of her men followed behind her, looking at the quiet grove of trees ahead, both angry and helpless.
Seriously, not a soul can be seen!
I don't know what I was doing in the middle of the night; it's embarrassing to even tell anyone.
Moon Lady snorted heavily, displeased, and said, "How should I know what to do? She hasn't followed, what am I supposed to do, fight ghosts?"
She waved her hand angrily, "All of you get back and keep watch! I'm going to go see where that woman went missing!"
What do you mean, "Miss Li is unparalleled in the world"? She's just an idiot! She can lose track of anyone! And she even deliberately slowed down her horse's speed.
Useless things!
The dozen or so men received their orders and immediately retreated back into the courtyard.
But, to everyone's surprise, and no one could have imagined it! As soon as they stepped into the courtyard, the mechanism inside was activated.
With a whoosh, countless arrows and hidden weapons shot out from different corners. Although all of his dozen or so men were experts, they were powerless to fight back against so many hidden weapons.
"what……"
"Ah..."
The screams continued.
One of them, wounded, ran out shouting, "Master, we've been ambushed... Ah—"
With two arrows still lodged in his body, the subordinate lay in a pool of blood, unable to get up again.
Lady Moon was so frightened that her face changed drastically. She quickly backed away and left the courtyard far behind!
She knew better than anyone how powerful the hidden weapons in the courtyard were; she had designed them herself!
But she never dreamed that the trap she set would one day be used on her own people.
Screams continued to echo from the courtyard. Of the dozen or so men, all but one who escaped lay in pools of blood. Some died instantly, while the survivors were barely alive and utterly useless.
Lady Moon retreated again, looking at the wooden house inside, and shouted angrily, "Chu Yue Li, what kind of hero are you, sneaking around like this? Come out here!"
"What? Wasn't it you, Yue Niangzi, who was acting suspiciously? Why did it become me?" Chu Yue Li's voice sounded as if she was still in the wooden house at first, but upon closer listening, it seemed to be right around her.
Lady Moon was covered in cold sweat. That damned woman! Her lightness skill was even more amazing than she had imagined. She had underestimated her after all!
But Lady Yue was no pushover either. With a quick step, she leaped up and landed steadily on the horse's back in an instant.
"Giddy up!" She spurred the horse, and it galloped out of the wooden house, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
