Chapter 40: Discovered Your Secret

Even though Yu Shuya was in her own courtyard, she was still very careful.

She looked at the courtyard that was getting further and further away from her, and it seemed like she was also looking at death that was getting further and further away from her.

Looking at the bright moonlight above her head, the corners of her lips curled up into a smile. It was great to be alive, and it was also great to be able to run freely.

Unfortunately, just as Yu Shuya was feeling happy, someone covered her mouth and dragged her into the alley around the corner.

“Heh, didn’t I tell Ye Yuxuan not to look for me again tonight? Why is he here again?” Yu Shuya thought.

She thought that she had to make things clear to him this time. She had to tell him not to run around again, or else he would be punished by his master again.

However, when Yu Shuya touched the hand that was covering her mouth, her heart instantly constricted, and her eyes widened in shock.

These hands were not Ye Yuxuan’s.

She looked down at the hand on her mouth. There were five long and pointy red nails on it, and the other hand with five long nails slowly moved from her waist to her neck.

This was… Master Yuzhi.

It seemed that she knew that she deliberately hid out last night, and that she would do it again tonight, so she did not stay by her window.

Feeling the suffocating feeling of someone clutching her neck, Yu Shuya was so scared that tears flowed out of her eyes.

No, Master Yuzhi only wanted to kill her. She was not willing to listen to her at all.

The suffocating feeling became heavier and heavier, and her heart was also tingling due to the lack of oxygen.

She gritted her teeth and directly stepped on Master Yuzhi’s foot behind her.

Due to the pain, the hand that Master Yuzhi used to cover her mouth relaxed for a moment.

She immediately shouted, “Master Yuzhi.”

As expected, Master Yuzhi was stunned for a moment when she heard these words.

Yu Shuya took this opportunity to bite Master Yuzhi’s hand. She used all her strength and soon she could smell the fishy sweetness in her mouth.

Although Master Yuzhi was in pain, she still did not let go of Yu Shuya’s neck.

She was just a little bit away from breaking her slender neck, and she would never be able to speak again.

However, Yu Shuya did not want to die.

At this moment, she thought of her speculation about Master Yuzhi’s identity as an assassin.

She quickly stuck out her tongue and took this opportunity to say the words ‘assassin’.

Her voice was muffled due to the strangling, so it was hard to hear what she was saying.

However, Yu Shuya could only bet that Master Yuzhi was extremely sensitive to the word ‘assassin’ and was afraid that her identity would be exposed.

Sure enough, as soon as she said the word ‘assassin’, Master Yuzhi loosened her neck and pressed her back against the wall.

Although Yu Shuya was still in pain, her mind and eyes were blurry due to the relapse of her heart disease and the lack of oxygen.

However, as long as Master Yuzhi let go of her mouth, she would definitely be able to find a chance to save herself.

“Master Yuzhi, I know your identity as an assassin, and I also know why you want to kill me.”

Master Yuzhi’s expression changed when she heard Yu Shuya’s words. However, her face was covered by her long hair, so no one could see his face.

However, Yu Shuya felt that the hand on her back had exerted a sudden force. Heh, a reaction was enough.

“Master Yuzhi, do you want to know how I know your secret?”

After a pause, she continued to speak.

“After all, even your roommate, Master Yuyan, who has lived with you for so many years, didn’t discover your identity.”
