Chapter 531: 265 Memory Awakens (First Update)_2
“Chang Jing! Are you deaf or stupid? Can’t you understand human language? Don’t stand there, do something!”
“Found it!” Chang Jing dug out the marble that had fallen into the seam of his pocket. He put it in the other intact pocket, his expression turned cold as he switched to assassin mode within a second.
“Aiya! Young Master, you’re back!” The old sacristan glanced behind Duke Xuanping and took advantage of his brief pause to pull the old lady back into the room, closing the door and bolting it with a bang!
“Take the back door!”
He said to the old woman.
“What happened?” Madame Yao came out after hearing the commotion.
“Nothing, nothing, you go back to your room!” The old sacristan waved his hand dismissively at Madame Yao, knowing that Duke Xuanping’s target was Zhuang Jinse and he wouldn’t harm the innocent. He wasn’t worried about Madame Yao’s safety.
He took the old woman and escaped through the back door. The top priority right now was to find Young Master, who was the only one that could stop Duke Xuanping.

However, no sooner had they crossed the threshold of the back door than they saw Chang Jing standing in front of them, full of murderous intent.
The old sacristan gasped!
Going back wasn’t an option anymore. Duke Xuanping was blocking the front door.
“Um, young man, could we discuss this?” The old sacristan uttered a weak laugh, and suddenly lunged to grab Chang Jing, telling the old woman, “Run! Go find Young Master! He’s at Lin’s house!”
Lin Chengye’s house was not far away, only a quarter of an hour’s walk away on a normal day.
But how could the old sacristan possibly hold down an assassin like Chang Jing?
Chang Jing easily lifted him up. He had no interest in anyone other than his target. He tossed the old sacristan aside and reached out to kill the old woman.
He just needed to grab the back of the old woman’s neck and twist lightly, and he could easily break her neck.
At the critical moment, a small figure darted in front of the old woman, raising her small arm and blocking Chang Jing’s arm.
Chang Jing was using his right hand, but nobody knew his preferred hand was actually his left. He swung his left hand towards Gu Jiao.
Gu Jiao took the hit forcefully, the immense force repelling the two of them apart, causing both of them to retreat a couple of steps.
Chang Jing looked at Gu Jiao in surprise, then looked at his own hand. Huh? She managed to take his hit?
Gu Jiao: Uh… My arm is going numb. Where did this master come from?
“Granny, Grandpa, you guys go first!” Gu Jiao blocked Chang Jing and told the elderly couple.
The old sacristan didn’t have time to mince words anymore. He pulled the old woman and started running towards Lin Chengye’s residence. Of course, he didn’t forget to remind Chang Jing, “She’s Duke Xuanping’s daughter-in-law! You can’t kill her!”
This worked, and Chang Jing’s murderous aura subsided by half.
Chang Jing’s martial arts skills were far superior to those of the masters at the Martial Arts Academy. Even if his murderous aura was halved, it wouldn’t be easy for Gu Jiao to defeat him. Of course, it was equally difficult for Chang Jing to get rid of Gu Jiao.
The two of them began to fight fiercely.
The old sacristan kept running non-stop with the old woman. The reason why they could still run at their age was mainly due to Gu Jiao’s daily care. Their bodies were much stronger than before. The old sacristan even felt that their hair had turned black again.
However, misfortune never comes singly. Having narrowly escaped from Duke Xuanping and Chang Jing, they encountered a group of men in black with their faces covered.
The men dressed in black blocked the alleyway.
To reach Lin Chengye’s house as quickly as possible, the old sacristan took the old woman down a shortcut, a quiet route that few people used. This meant there was hardly any patrol in the area.
It’s over, absolutely over.
This was what they mean by “between a rock and a hard place”.
Whether they were captured by these people or they went back and were killed by Chang Jing, neither option seemed good.
“Who…Who are you?” The old sacristan asked cautiously.
A path was swiftly cleared among the dozen or so men in black, revealing a carriage behind them. At this, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and the Grand Tutor Zhuang stepped out.
Both hands hidden in his wide sleeves, Grand Tutor Zhuang looked haughty and composed. He walked up to them, gave the old woman and the old sacristan a look, and his gaze turned cold: “So it’s you!”
He knew there was something amiss when he saw them in Bishui Alley last time. So, they were acquaintances!
That’s why they closed the door in such a panic and didn’t want to show their faces.
“What are you doing here?”
And why were they together with the Queen Mother?
Before he stepped down, Huo Jijiu and the queen mother were at odds, battling each other to the death. They were at loggerheads for two reigns, starting from the previous Emperor to the current one. Their relationship can best be described as sworn enemies.
And yet they were in the same place at the same time, and seemed to be on good terms!
