Gu Fei raised her hand, taking out the shouting bandit with a single shot. She then dispatched the few bandits who were surrounding Chen Hu and Zhang Ze.
The area around them was now clear. She glanced at Chen Hu and Zhang Ze. "One of you stay here and protect your young master. The other—"
Before she could finish, a bandit leaped out from behind a tree on the side of the path, swinging his broadsword at her back.
Su Chen saw it all clearly from the carriage and shouted, "Watch your back!"
Gu Fei hadn't anticipated a treacherous bandit lying in ambush behind a tree. With no time to look back, she lunged forward.
She landed right beside the carriage, her eyes locking with Su Chen's from an incredibly close distance. His eyes, as brilliant as starlight in the night, were filled with anxiety and horror.
Then, a cold sensation spread across her back.
Gu Fei pushed off the carriage with both hands, spun around, and fired a single shot.
