A scream echoed, and immediately rustling sounds came from the chamber behind Lu Zheng.
Soon, the wooden window was lifted open slightly, revealing two pairs of eyes behind it.
"It's me, Lu Zheng, no need for alarm."
"It's Young Master Lu!"
"Ah, ah, we're not afraid!"
Sounds came from the backyard too, evidently, Elder Liu and his wife, along with the Liu Family Sisters, were awakened by the scream of Old Third.
"It's you!"
The moonlight was bright, illuminating the night, and everyone remaining clearly saw Lu Zheng's face.
In the next moment, Old Fourth drew a dagger from his waist and lunged at Lu Zheng.
"Old Fourth, be careful!"
"This one's tough!"
Old First and Old Second shouted while each drawing a short knife, attacking from both sides.
Old Fourth shouted fiercely and charged, but Lu Zheng parried with his hand. The opponent suddenly pulled back, dodged the strike, and then swiftly closed in, aiming the dagger at Lu Zheng's throat.
