The Rebirth Of A White Robe Man: I'll Follow You This Time Chapter 209
Advertisement
After running away for quite a while, Ma Jin can see the woman pale sweaty face in the corner of his eyes while the hand grasping his body has already begun to shake, there is even a stumble to the way she continues to run away.
In the end, the damage has done to her wrist and ankle is taking its toll along with her body that hasn't been trained for years despite having internal energy to help her move skillfully.
Even being kept captive, Ma Jin can perceive how completely stressful and exhausting it was when using internal energy on a broken body, which has quickly caused a cold calculated light to flash in his eyes.
As long as the woman doesn't kill him, then he has a high chance of surviving, especially when the guard he took is specialized more in pursuing along with quickly asking for assistance when it's needed.
So the woman leaving the guard before without eliminating him is definitely a huge mistake!
Given enough time, he can clean up the mess of his actions after everything is over in order to lessen his Father's anger which will definitely affect the favor he will receive in the Ma Family, even if he is already the heir, after everything that happened, there is also a high chance in which he can be replaced by his brothers.
There is no way he will allow such a situation to happen!
Especially when he still remembers that this woman is also the person his father is completely obsessed with, he absolutely needed to do a meticulous process to settle the entire situation.
"Aunt Suyin!"
Suddenly, Ma Jin's eyes slightly widen while a bad premonition has quickly emerged within him after hearing the familiar voice of his younger brother, which has quickly appeared along with his own people and another group of people who were called out by his guard.
Ma Jin's head has abruptly throb in pain while a certain haze flashes on his eyes because the entire situation has become far complicated after the arrival of his younger brother and the other people who wouldn't obediently listen to his orders.
Damn it, Jia! Why are you here? You have been going against me lately, don't tell me... are you opposing me to become the new heir!?
As soon as Jia has arrived, his face has completely blanched in eerie white after seeing Dai and Dalle's mother holding his older brother captive before feeling extremely horrified how his older brother has been foolish and crazy enough to even touch the woman their Father is completely obsessed with.
If Jia didn't order his servant to secretly watched over his older brother's actions then he wouldn't even know the absurd and insane act his older brother is doing this night.
It was still understandable when his Older Brother has targeted Dai and Dalle, but their Aunt Suyin is a completely different matter, even he could tell the woman is basically the bottom line of their Father that shouldn't be cross.

When did his older brother act this way? Ma Jin is usually more calm and rational, does the encounter he experience after missing in the few days before has completely changed him into this kind of person?
Jia's eyes couldn't help but flash in doubt, however, he doesn't have time to ponder over that certain thought since the entire situation is extremely sensitive and dangerous.
However, when Jia deeply thought more regarding this day's feeling of doubt in a certain future, he couldn't help but question 'what if', nonetheless, there is always a situation where it will lead to the same result no matter what has changed.
"Aunt… Aunt… please, calm down, don't do anything crazy…"
During this time, Jia's calmness from before has completely disappeared even though his mindset has changed, however, he was still a person with few experiences in life.
Especially when he doesn't know what to do with their difficult situation, after all, this is Dai and Dalle's mother he is facing because rather than worrying about his older brother, he cares more about her well-being among anything else.
In the past, he can only watch as Dai is essentially sent to the mission that has lead to his death…
Later on, he couldn't even help the innocent Dalle who was sent to do such humiliating action by his older brother...
And now, its Ma Suyin turned... Ma Jia doesn't want to fail a third time or else he can perceive that he will unquestionably go crazy from being so weak and helpless!
Fortunately, they are now in a deserted area giving them enough time to solve the problem before any official who patrols the area to suddenly come running in their direction.
There is also his Father who will definitely come rushing over after receiving the message he has hurriedly sent over after knowing his older brother actions, as long as it's about Ma Suyin, his father wouldn't be able to ignore it.
However, everything seemed to have once more become chaotic and unpredictable because, in the corner of his eyes, numerous arrows have swiftly shot straight in the woman's direction, which appeared to be completely unaware of the surprise attack and causing Jia eyes to widen in great alarm before shouting in great panic.
"Stop! Don't hurt her! Father will get mad! That woman is extremely important to him!"
At the exact time that the woman was frantically dodging the arrows directed in her direction, Ma Jin was finally able to get the control on his body back and using the chance to release himself from the woman weakening grip.
"Jia! What are you doing? You don't want them to rescue me? You wanted me to die? Do you want to replace me and become the heir? Listen up everyone, I order you to keep attacking her!"
"Brother are you crazy?"
Ma Jin didn't waste a single second to quickly back off from the fierce woman before another round of arrows has swiftly attacked in her direction, feeling entirely pleased when two arrows manage to pierce the woman's shoulder causing blood to slowly drip from it.

Fortunately, he was able to easily comprehend that she was trying to use his body as a shield and was able to keep a safe distance away from her.
Although Ma Kin didn't run away to safety when he has the chance since he has already figured out that the woman would soon fall down from exhaustion and fatigue, prompting his eyes to glint with ruthlessness and crazed emotion.
"Come on, quickly kill that slut for me!"
"Older Brother, stop it! Father will be here soon, so don't do anything crazy anymore!"
Jia can already perceive that his older brother state of mind isn't normal but he didn't imagine that Jin would be so crazy enough to order his people to kill the woman.
"I have enough of you going against me! My younger brother sure is great! Did you want to replace me as the heir after everything that happened? Like I'll let you! Hahaha, today she will have to die! And it's going to be your entire fault because I'm only here to stop you from freeing her, betraying our father's trust and unfortunately, an accident suddenly happened!"
Ma Jin's eyes already turned into a craze haze while the throb on his mind continues to grow stronger the longer he concentrates his attention on the woman.
Unfortunately, he has completely overlooked the state of his mind, entirely focusing on cleaning up the mess he created this night by throwing it all to his younger brother.
Of course, the woman needing to be eliminated is already on his list from the start and would never change no matter what.
"Let's see how Father will punish you this time! After all, you are known to be infatuated to Dai, so it's entirely believable of you releasing this hateful woman! Come, kill those traitorous people he bought over! Better yet, attack Jia too!"
"Brother Jin!"
Amidst the chaotic fighting, where Jia was suddenly being attacked along with his people, completely unable to move and quickly securing the woman from safety, Ma Jin has swiftly turned around before rushing in a great hurry when he saw the woman was running over the closest stone bridge over the short but deep canal river in order to get to the other side.
This will make it easy for the woman to run away and entirely losing their capability to further tracked her down if they let her escape!
No! I will not allow the woman to escape and continue living!
Ma Jin's eyes turned extremely cold and ruthless while a surge of internal energy swirly within him, which was caused by the suddenly urgent and frantic emotion he felt while swiftly stealing the sword from one of his subordinates who appeared to protect his side.
"Shoot her!!!"
"Stop! Don't kill her!!!"
In the surge of attacks, everyone could already see how the woman was already pushed to her limit, especially when shifting and dodging away from the rain of arrows who were fired her way which has caused her to pants from tiredness while moving slower.
Soon, some arrows have managed to pierce her back, which was on the left side of her waist.
And Jia's eyes have quickly turned bloodshot while a twisted smile appeared on Jin's face, especially when among the arrows, a sword has speedily and quietly shoot along a few seconds later before exactly piercing the woman's right chest after turning her body when dodging some of the arrows from hitting her vital part.
"...!"
"...Ha! Got you!"
"N-No..!"
"Unfilial son, how dare you!"
Suddenly a furious roar has resounded out causing the happy and delighted Ma Jin after seeing the woman stumble over while vomiting blood to quickly pale in extreme fear and terror while the haze state on his mind has lessened up after seeing the hurried form of his father rushing in their direction.
…. Finish…
Ma Jin could only think in stupid dazed after finally realizing the absurd and crazy actions he has done the entire time while Ma Jia who senses his father's arrival couldn't feel any happiness at all, unable to take his gaze away from the woman weakly leaning on the stone bridge railing, especially toward the sword pierce over her right chest.
"... no…"
Ma Jia lip shiver from unimaginable pain while uttering words of overwhelming denial and taking an unsteady step, however, a fearful a shout full of concern and great panic has resounded out and stopped his actions before a figure has quickly rushed over toward the direction of the weakening and dying woman.
"Suyin!"
Only a few people know a piece of extremely important information relating to Suyin, and Ma Jia is being one of them, it is the fact that Suyin heart position is in a completely different location, rather than being on the left side, she has her heart on the right side!
Which was the place where she was pierced by the sword!
And of course, Ma Jin being the heir know all about it too, their Father has mentioned it just for the sake of stopping an accident from happening but who would have thought that his older brother would use the secret to completely take Suyin life?
"... I'm… dying?..."
It was a completely faint sound, however for martial artists, even among the weak as long as they have internal energy, they are able to clearly hear her voice.
"... ah… I f-failed…"
