ARDA - Chapter 124 - Grandma, No One Seems to be Chasing Anymore.

 Master Huizhi saw her fake horoscope, so why didn't he expose it?

Jiang Ning looked at Master Huizhi with a solemn face.

Master Huizhi seemed to have read through her inner thoughts and said, "Old Madam Lu asked me to calculate the eight characters on two pieces of paper. I told the truth and did not lie."

"What does the master want to say to me?"

Jiang Ning asked.

Master Huizhi clasped his hands together, looked at Jiang Ning's face carefully, and said for a while, "I saw that the benefactor's fate was special, and it seemed that she had changed her destiny against the will of heaven and changed her fate."

Jiang Ning's eyes darkened, and she clenched her hands under her sleeves.

Yes, change your destiny against the will of heaven.

She was reborn, what else could it be if she didn't change her destiny against the will of heaven?

I just didn't expect anyone to be able to see through her fate. Master Huizhi was indeed an accomplished monk.

Jiang Ning was silent and did not speak.

After a while, Master Huizhi said, "This is the second time I have seen such a special fate."

Jiang Ning's expression changed slightly. Is there anyone with the same fate as her? 

Master Huizhi picked up the Eight Characters and lit it on the oil lamp next to him. It burned cleanly. Then he slowly closed his eyes, as if he had finished speaking.

Jiang Ning hesitated for a while, but finally got up and left without asking.

.........

The marriage with the Lu family fell apart.

The old lady felt tired, her head hurt vaguely, and she was ready to go home.

Jiang Ning and the old lady sat on the carriage and rode down the mountain.

Today few people are going to Qingyun Mountain to offer incense, so there are no other carriages on the road.

The sky was gloomy and it seemed like it was going to rain heavily soon.

In the carriage, the old lady closed her eyes tightly, rubbed her temples, and looked ugly.

The air in the carriage is a little dull.

Jiang Ning opened the corner of the carriage curtain and looked outside. The sky was dark and gloomy, and her eyes were equally dark.

Raindrops began to fall, carrying a smell of earth.

She frowned slightly and prepared to lower the curtain.

At this moment, the sound of chaotic footsteps suddenly came. Jiang Ning's ears and eyes were clear. She heard the footsteps and looked up.

Not far away, several masked men rushed over, holding bright knives in their hands.

Her expression changed slightly.

"Hiss—" the horses roared and the carriage swayed this way and that.

"Ouch, what's going on?" The old lady frowned and was about to speak.

Seven or eight masked men came around and killed the coachman with one knife. His body was dripping with blood. The body fell to the ground and was stained red with blood.

When the old lady went to Qingyun Temple to offer incense, she only brought some servants and maids with her, but no bodyguards. At this moment, they were all women. They were helpless and turned pale with fear.

In the carriage, Jiang Ning secretly held the silver needle.

Outside, Shuangyue's face turned cold, and her hand touched the soft knife.

The masked man shouted coldly, "I only care about money. If you don't want to lose your life, just take out all the valuable things!"

The servants and women were trembling and dared not speak.

The old lady heard the masked man's cry and knew that they had encountered a robber. The road leading to Qingyun Temple was an official road. How could there be robbers? 

The old lady had lived for most of her life and was still calm. Her hands were shaking slightly and she ordered, "Take all the things off the carriage."

The servant girl unloaded all the things from the carriage, not daring to delay, for fear that the bright knife would hurt her.

The masked man in the lead didn't even look at these things, but stared straight at the carriage, squinting slightly.

The next moment, he stepped forward and cut off the carriage curtain with a swipe.

The carriage curtain fell, revealing the person inside.

The masked man's eyes suddenly fell on the girl next to the old lady.

Jiang Ning saw this group of people, especially the man's gaze, his eyes flashed, and he secretly squeezed the silver needle tightly.

The masked man stretched out his hand and was about to grab Jiang Ning.

At this time, Shuangyue took action, shooting a hidden weapon and hitting the masked man's hand. The masked man suffered pain and fell off the carriage.

Jiang Ning took the opportunity to kick the horse's butt. The horse felt the pain and began to gallop forward.

When the masked man saw the carriage running away, he immediately shouted, "Hurry and catch her!"

Jiang Ning heard the man's shout and immediately understood that they were not trying to steal money at all. All the things in the carriage had been moved out, and they wanted to catch up. It was obvious that they had other purposes.

The real purpose of these people... is her!

Her face fell.

Who wants to do something to her?

She had not offended anyone, but someone wanted to pay to kill her.

The masked man didn't care about anything else and began to chase the carriage fiercely, shouting aggressively, "Catch her!"

Stumbling inside the carriage, the old lady looked pale, frightened, and her heart was trembling with fear.

The horses were running wildly and the people in the carriage were likely to fall.

Jiang Ning used Qinggong and rushed out lightly, grabbed the reins, stabilized the horse, and drove the horse forward.

Behind him, a group of masked men caught up.

But the one who was faster than them was Shuangyue. Shuangyue's eyes were cold. After losing all scruples, she pulled out her soft knife and rushed over to kill the masked man.

A group of people were a little confused.

What's going on? When they received the order they said the Jiang family didn't even have any bodyguards. Why did a maid with high martial arts skills suddenly appear?

The masked man ordered, "You guys stop this woman, and I'll chase the carriage!"

They divided into two groups, the leading masked man went to chase the carriage, while the rest stayed to deal with Shuangyue.

........

Jiang Ning drove the carriage.

But no matter how fast the carriage was, it couldn't be faster than the masked man chasing them on horseback, and she was soon overtaken.

She took a look, and when she saw that only one person was chasing after her, she pulled the reins and stopped the carriage.

When the masked man saw the carriage stop, he sneered, walked over with a knife, and said in a cold voice, "If you don't want to die, just be obedient!"

A cold look flashed in Jiang Ning's eyes, she held the silver needle and was about to take action.

At this moment, a cold arrow was released from the forest, piercing the masked man's head coldly.

The man's eyes widened and he fell to the ground, the smell of blood filling the air.

Jiang Ning saw such a bloody scene for the first time. Her body was slightly cold and her hands were trembling slightly, but she was still calm and turned to look in the direction of the arrow in the forest.

Not far away, I saw a familiar figure.

After recognizing who it was, her heart dropped a little.

No one was catching up from behind, and it seemed that Shuangyue had already dealt with them all.

Jiang Ning's eyes darkened and she stared at the dead bodies, looking carefully. She wanted to know the identities of these people and who ordered them? 

In the carriage, the old lady held on to the carriage frame and almost lost half her life in fear.

"Haah..." She breathed heavily, unable to speak complete words.

Jiang Ning realized that Old Madam Jiang was there, and then she trembled all over, threw herself into the carriage, grabbed the old lady's arm tightly, and said in a trembling voice, "Grandma, no one seems to be chasing us anymore..."

She seemed frightened.

The old lady was suspicious for a moment. The calm look of this granddaughter really didn't look like an ignorant girl.
