On her wedding night, she went into exile with her pharmacy arsenal

Chapter 2019 They Won’t Listen to You

As soon as the sound of the bone whistle fell, in the valley where there was no sound at all, more than 20 men in black stood there in a row, as if they had emerged from the shadows.

They were dressed in dark clothes, and even their faces were covered with black cloth, with only their eyes exposed. They were as bright as a knife tempered with cold light, but even their breathing was extremely low. They just stood there quietly, making the air around them heavy.

Mu Wan stood in front of the men in black, his shoulders swaying slightly, the corners of his mouth raised with undisguised pride.

She turned to look at Yan Ruyu, her voice filled with laughter but without any warmth: "Look, these people are here to take your life."

Yan Ruyu stood still, not even glancing at the men in black. She simply stared at Mu Wan, her tone as steady as if she was discussing the weather: "Who are you? You're not from the Liu family."

When Mu Wan heard the word "Liu family", his brows immediately frowned, and his face showed obvious disgust, as if something dirty was mentioned.

"The Liu family?" She sneered, her voice rising a little, with undisguised contempt, "They are at best the lowest servants, not even worthy of carrying my master's shoes.

Do you really think the Liu family is in charge of this island? On the surface, they are, but in reality, from the reefs on the east side of the island to the forest on the west side, every inch of it is under my watch."

She paused, then took two steps forward, getting closer to Yan Ruyu. A fierce look in her eyes revealed her true nature. "You're smarter than I thought. You can tell I'm not from the Liu family. But being smart is useless. When you get to this place, even the smartest person has no choice but to admit defeat."

Yan Ruyu didn't respond to her question, but continued with her previous question, her tone still calm: "So, is this island managed by Liu Jiulang or Liu Balang?"

Mu Wan raised an eyebrow, seemingly not expecting Yan Ruyu to ask this, but still answered casually: "Liu Jiulang. Liu Balang?"

She scoffed again, this time her smile full of sarcasm: "He's much dumber than Liu Jiulang. Even if he had ten times the courage, he wouldn't be able to do something like this that hides secrets. He's just a pawn in the open to fool outsiders."

After she finished speaking, she glanced at the sky and frowned even more tightly. It was obvious that she no longer had the patience to talk nonsense with Yan Ruyu.

"I've already told you everything I need to say. Stop asking questions."

Her voice turned cold, with an unquestionable ruthlessness: "You are a dying man now, just wait for your death obediently, so as to avoid suffering more when the action is taken later."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Wan raised his hand, put the bone whistle to his lips, and blew it again.

This time the whistle was shorter than before and the tone was slightly different.

Yan Ruyu's gaze fell on the bone whistle. The bone whistle was snow-white and looked like it was made of some animal bone. There were several fine lines engraved on the surface, and it did not look like an ordinary object.

She thought to herself that this whistle was indeed unusual. The two sounds just now should be commands with special meanings, used to mobilize these men in black.

But what happened next was beyond Mu Wan's expectations.

The whistle stopped, but the men in black still stood there without moving. Their eyes, which had just been exposed, were still staring straight ahead, with no intention of moving forward.

Mu Wan's smile froze on his face, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.

She paused, then brought the bone whistle to her lips again. This time she used more force, and the sound was louder and more rapid, obviously repeating the previous instruction.

But the men in black did not move, as if they did not hear the whistle. They still maintained their previous posture, as still as stone statues.

The smugness on Mu Wan's face completely vanished, replaced by anger. She put down the bone whistle, turned to look at the men in black, and her voice was filled with anger, even a bit of uncontrolled sharpness: "What are you doing?! I blew the whistle, didn't you hear it? How dare you disobey my orders!"

Her voice echoed in the valley, but the men in black still did not react, not even a glance.

At this moment, a sneer suddenly came from the darkness. The chuckle was low and a bit teasing, breaking the silence in the valley.

"Of course they won't listen to you."

The voice did not come from the mouths of the men in black, but came from the shadows deeper in the valley, like a hunter hiding in the dark who finally spoke.

When Mu Wan heard the voice, his body suddenly stiffened. He turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound, his eyes full of vigilance: "Who?! Who's there?!"

Yan Ruyu also looked in the direction of the voice, her eyes still calm, but a hint of understanding flashed across the depths of her eyes.

The person in the shadows didn't come out immediately, but just laughed again, and the mockery in that laugh was even stronger.

"Mu Wan, do you really think you're so smart? You're the smart-aleck idiot!"

Mu Wan's expression instantly turned ugly, his lips pressed into a line, his eyes filled with shock, anger, and a hint of disbelief.

She opened her mouth as if she wanted to refute, but swallowed the words back when they reached her lips. She just stared at the shadow, and her hand unconsciously clenched the bone whistle in her hand.

Those men in black were still standing still, as if they were not affected at all by the movement here, but the cold light in their eyes seemed to be even stronger than before, and vaguely seemed to be turning in Mu Wan's direction.

The darkness seemed to be torn open, and Huo Changhe's figure walked out from the other side. There was some dust on the hem of his clothes, but there was not a single wound on his body, and even his hair was still neat.

Yan Ruyu immediately went over to him. When she stood beside him, her fingertips gently brushed against his sleeves, and her voice was very soft: "Are you really okay?"

Huo Changhe turned his head to look at her, the coldness in his eyes dissipated a little, and his tone was low but clear: "Well, don't worry."

These two sentences fell into Mu Wan's ears, like thunder exploding overhead. She stumbled forward half a step, her eyes wide and her voice trembling. "You're still alive? How could you be alive? The traps in the valley could rip even three bears to shreds. No one has ever made it out alive!"

Huo Changhe turned his gaze and returned to his previous coldness when it landed on her, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth: "Someone did die." He paused, looking at Mu Wan's suddenly tense face, and added word by word, "But the dead person is someone else."

Mu Wan's face instantly turned pale, then flushed to the color of liver. She raised her hand to her lips, and a sharp whistle pierced the air as she shouted at the black-clad men who had stood silently around her, "Kill them all! Leave no one alive!"

The whistle had sounded for a long time, but the men in black remained motionless. They maintained their previous postures, like lifeless statues, not even their eyes wavering.

Mu Wan's whistle got stuck in his throat, and he looked at them in disbelief: "You...why don't you move?!"

Huo Changhe chuckled softly, his laughter full of contempt: "They won't listen to you."
