The scars under the bandage stopped bleeding at a visible speed.
The boy, who was crying in pain, felt the pain lessen and took a comfortable breath.
"Someone is coming."
Ye Feng's eyes were filled with complex emotions, and he suddenly raised his head alertly, looking out of the courtyard.
The boy's heart skipped a beat, and his crying stopped abruptly. He took a dagger from under his pillow.
"Stay here and don't move."
Without any hesitation, Ye Feng pressed the boy's shoulder, drew his sword, and stepped out of the room in a few strides.

The drizzle continued, and dozens of black-clothed, masked figures rushed in the dark night, bringing a breath of death as they approached the courtyard.
Ye Feng listened to the wind to discern their positions and leaped out of the courtyard to block the entrance with his sword.
"Hand over Ye Yunzheng."
A black-clothed man arrived first and stabbed with his sword without further explanation.
"Don't even think about it!"
