Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant novel Chapter 168

Chapter 168: Chapter 168 Brother Huo, It’s So Great to See You

A wave of fear washed over Yun Yiyi after the fact. It had been a hair’s breadth—that bullet had almost struck Huo Jingrui, right where his heart was.

She didn’t even realize her forehead was covered in sweat.

Perhaps truly frightened, she rose from behind the rock and dashed towards the person who had fired at Huo Jingrui. Just as that person shot another bullet, Yunyi reached him.

With a palm strike, Yunyi sent the man flying with her Inner Strength. Fortunately for him, he landed against a Centennial Red Pine, as her martial arts skill had not yet fully returned to its peak.

The man was slightly embedded in the tree.

After Yunyi charged the sniper, Huo Jingrui, having subdued the man he was fighting, quickly followed.

He grabbed the man and punched him in the stomach. Already injured by Yunyi’s Inner Strength and now struck by this punch, the man went as limp as a noodle. Unable to stand, he slid to the ground.

When Huo Jingrui saw the unusual indentations on the tree, he was instantly shocked.

But after the initial shock, he drew the dagger he always carried and immediately obscured the marks on the Centennial Red Pine.

For some reason, his first reaction was to keep Yunyi’s secret.

Having done all this, he dislocated the man’s arm, searched him, and threw him into the pile with the other subdued Japanese attackers.

Seeing that everyone’s battle was nearing its end, he did not step forward again.

After giving a few instructions to his men, he walked back to Yunyi. "Are you all right?" he asked.

Without waiting for Yunyi to answer, he continued, "Don’t worry, I won’t mention your skills to anyone. No, I mean, I won’t say what I shouldn’t."

That sounds nice, but he’ll probably investigate me afterwards. However, I’m not afraid—can’t everyone have their own fortuitous encounters? Besides, I haven’t done anything outrageous or unconscionable; I’m not afraid. My background information from before doesn’t quite match up, but people can’t always stick to the rules. What’s more, maybe I’ve always been concealing my true abilities?
