"I am not you." Chang Xuewei had this thought but was unwilling to admit it.

Yang Caiwei had known her for many years and had long known who she was. She said bluntly, "I want you to swear on your life."

Chang Xuewei felt murderous when she heard this, but she quickly raised her hands and cursed, "I swear, if I stab Yang Caiwei in the back, I will be struck by lightning and die miserably."

After saying this with gnashing teeth, Chang Xuewei looked at Yang Caiwei inexplicably, and after a moment she smiled and said, "Are you satisfied with this oath? If not, how about you tell me to recite it?"

Yang Caiwei said, "I don't really want you to do this. The situation is not favorable to you and me. To prevent our internal fighting from letting outsiders take advantage, I have to resort to this desperate measure."

She spoke in a wronged and pitiful tone, as if she was not the one who forced Chang Xuewei to swear.

Chang Xuewei snorted unhappily: "We both know exactly how to do things, so we have to cooperate properly later and don't let outsiders sow discord."

After saying this, Chang Xuewei took a deep look at Yang Caiwei. Seeing that she had a smile on her face, as if she was very satisfied and not going to force herself, she immediately calmed down, but her face was calm, making it impossible to see her true emotions.

"Everyone follow me." Chang Xuewei's wound had not healed yet and her face looked very pale, but because of the anger in her heart, her face now appeared a little rosy, and under the light of the dim yellow candlelight, she looked quite ghostly.

Everyone listened to her words, looked up at her quickly, and were soon frightened by her appearance.

But Yang Caiwei was right next to them, so even if they were scared, they didn't dare to show it. They could only listen to her orders, immediately form a formation, and advance forward cautiously.

Chang Xuewei and Yang Caiwei hid behind the crowd and looked forward from a distance. They soon saw a group of people dressed as mountain villagers fighting with their people.

"Can you tell their identities?" Chang Xuewei was stunned when she saw this group of mountain people, because their skin was dark, but their fighting power was no different from that of the people of the four major families.

She suspected that these people had nothing to do with Chen Changli, and were secretly mobilized by Ning Guzhou or Taru, with the purpose of taking the opportunity to force them.

"I know what you are thinking, but I don't think these people are related to Ning Guzhou and the others." Yang Caiwei immediately rejected it.

"I don't doubt them. I'm just worried that they did this to achieve their goals, but in fact they are being used by others." Chang Xuewei said after a moment of silence.

"Who are you? Why are you rushing into Fulu Town at this time?" Yang Caiwei glanced at her and saw that her face was ashen and ugly, as if she was thinking of something bad. She snorted immediately, then rushed out with her men and questioned loudly.

"Stupid woman, if you want to die, just go and die yourself. Why do you want to drag me down with you?" Chang Xuewei was startled by Yang Caiwei's actions.

"Stop talking nonsense." Yang Caiwei glared at her unhappily, then turned her gaze to the many mountain people.

Seeing that they ignored her, she attacked more and more fiercely, and archers not far away aimed their arrows at them.

Yang Caiwei felt nervous and could not help shouting, "Wan Shufang and her daughters-in-law are in my hands. If you have anything to do with them, stop it, or I will kill them without a burial place."

Not only did the mountain people ignore her, the arrows kept coming at her, and in the blink of an eye, most of the people who stood in front of her to protect her were killed or injured.

When Yang Caiwei saw this scene, she suddenly realized that she had made a wrong decision. Her face turned pale and blue, looking very ugly.

Chang Xuewei frowned, but her tone was firm: "These people are not Chen Changli's people. We guessed wrong. Yang Caiwei, we have to turn back quickly. We can't stay here, otherwise our lives will be in danger."

She finished her words in one breath, not caring at all how ugly Yang Caiwei's face was, she grabbed her hand and took her away by force.

Yang Caiwei wanted to resist, but the flaming feather arrow brushed past her scalp, causing her to feel a burning pain.

She gasped, "These people really want me dead."

"Isn't this nonsense?" Chang Xuewei said unhappily.

Yang Caiwei shook her head gently: "Even if Ning Guzhou and Taru had other intentions, they would not let their people treat me like this, so these people's origins are unknown."

After thinking for a moment, Yang Caiwei said, "Wen Baicao's reaction doesn't seem like he knows the identities of these people. Maybe there is something we overlooked, so they caught us off guard."

When this guess came up, Yang Caiwei felt uneasy.

She no longer cared about anything else and immediately ordered others to retreat, then ran towards the courtyard.

She ran so fast that Chang Xuewei's hand was shaken off by her. When he tried to catch up with her, he found that she had quickly disappeared.

Chang Xuewei was so angry that her face turned blue: "You said you wanted to avenge your people, but you ran so fast. Who would not say you are a coward if they saw you?"

After saying this bitterly, Chang Xuewei gritted her teeth, took out the Phoenix Gu that she had researched, and then played the flute, commanding it to deal with the mountain people.

The sound of the flute she played was very sharp. Wan Shufang, who followed Wen Baicao and others into the secret passage and then came out of the secret passage, vaguely heard the sound of the flute. She felt as if ants were crawling all over her body and got goose bumps.

"Mom, did you hear any sound?" Bai Lian was the daughter of a wealthy man after all. Although she had not learned much in the arts, she had been exposed to music. She vaguely heard the sound of the flute, and a hint of surprise flashed across her eyes.

"Where is that sound? Third sister-in-law, are you too nervous and having auditory hallucinations?" Wang Xiaohui's heart suddenly rose to her throat when she heard her words.

"There is indeed a sound, and it is very familiar." Wen Baicao suddenly spoke.

Wang Xiaohui looked at him and saw that he looked serious, as if he was troubled by something and didn't know what to do. She asked quickly, "Do you feel familiar? Is someone trying to contact you in this way?"

"It was the sound of the flute that drove the Gu worms to fight." Wen Baicao's face was full of anger, "It was that idiot Chang Xuewei, that hateful woman. If I had known this would happen, I should have killed her."

Wan Shufang's pupils suddenly shrank when she heard his murderous voice. After a moment, she asked tentatively, "Did you secretly instigate everything Chang Xuewei did before?"

Wen Baicao glared at her with eyes as sharp as knives: "You are about to die, but you don't want to survive, but you are focusing on such a thing, Wan Shufang, I think you are..."

Wan Shufang interrupted him without hesitation: "I'm asking you this because I want to know if what happened tonight has anything to do with you?"

"How could this be related to him?" Kong Xuande was the first to refute.

Wang Xiaohui shouted at him: "He was the first person to react. If this matter had nothing to do with him, how could he react so quickly?"

Kong Xuande was angry and furious: "It's just making up a story."
