le up until now, so he changed his words at the last minute and said: "That's just fate."As for Hou Yushu, Su Jinpa felt he had done everything he could.She had never expressed any favoritism towards...Chapter 317: Saintess

He chose the main road without much hesitation.

He knew that, compared to the half hour saved, what mattered more was safely delivering the intelligence to the Dongchang.

Walking among the crowd, the bustling noises around him gave him a sense of security.

But there was still a feeling of being watched.

Just then, a hand landed unexpectedly on his shoulder.

He jumped.

Even though I'm considered a master who has gained recognition and respect, being approached by someone without realizing it shows that the other party surpasses me in skill by far.

"Who are you!"

The scout's face darkened, glaring at the two men before him—one tall and one short—and roared,

The lanky man with a smile said, "Hey buddy, asking for directions doesn't have to be so stressful."

The tall figure in front of me was clearly smiling, but the icy feeling of being targeted by a beast didn't disappear from my body. Instead, the sense of crisis intensified.

The countless times he'd felt the brush of death over the years had left An Chan no desire to continue fighting.

"Get out of here! I don't have time for you!"

After speaking, the covert scout bypassed the two and was about to leave.

One tall and one short person didn't stop them.

The tall, thin man stood there, sighing, "People in the capital are really impolite. They're not hospitable at all."

The short, stout man beside him said, "Don't waste time. If we delay, both of us will be in trouble."

As soon as he opened his mouth, it was the voice of a delicate young woman, which formed an extremely stark contrast and dissonance with his greasy and vulgar appearance.

As soon as the short, stout man finished speaking, his short fingers twitched. A dark sentinel who had already walked several zhang away suddenly let out a muffled groan and froze in place.

He struggled to turn over, but the life force rapidly draining from his body prevented him from doing so.

A trace of scarlet blood seeped from the corner of his mouth, and the scout knelt on both knees, collapsing heavily to the ground.

The sudden change startled the surrounding people, who screamed and fled in all directions. The tall and short figures also disappeared into the crowd.

On the second floor of a restaurant just around here, at the railing of the balcony, with a table laden with delicious food on either side, Li Yinhǔ raised his cup and smiled at the woman across from him. She was veiled, her features obscured except for a pair of captivating eyes that seemed to mesmerize anyone who looked upon them. "The master of your esteemed school is truly powerful," he said. "Not only can you kill without a trace, but you also calculated every possible escape route and option for your opponent, staging this entire play right under my nose. It's truly impressive."

The woman sitting opposite Li Yinhu spoke, her voice clear and melodious, like a gentle breeze. "Your Highness is too kind," she said. "This was merely a test, and I hope there will be no need for another."

Li Yinhu said faintly, "What do you mean by that, Holy Maiden This king doesn't understand."

"To deliberately reveal the traces of my teachings, even at the risk of exposing the assassination plot, was to test the strength of the masters in my sect. To see if they could detect the leak in the first place and if they had the ability to stop it. Does Your Highness need this woman to explain further"

A woman in white looked at Li Yinhǔ. Her eyes, like autumn water, were full of indifference.

"Since this is a collaboration, I ask that you show me the basic respect befitting a prince. Otherwise, we part ways."

Li Yinhǔ smiled slightly and said, “Saintess, you flatter me. This king did not intentionally try to test you. However, this king can guarantee that such a thing will never happen again.”

The woman then withdrew her gaze and said, "That's best." go there.Upon hearing this, Zheng Baorong's scalp instantly went numb.Rebels!Anything associated with these two characters is definitely not a good thing.Zheng Baorong racked her brains, but she coul...
