Chapter 3

Unexpected Meeting

The man with the sword approach the trash site and poke it with his sword.  Just as he was about to poke the large basket, a silver flash can be seen before that man gasp and collapse to the ground.

She was a little shocked.

She turns to look at the man beside her and sees a couple more silver flashes from him, aimed towards the other men outside before the other men too collapse.

Everything turns quiet, except for her own heartbeat.

After that, the man lifts the basket they’re crouching under before he stands up, his long body standing under the bright moonlight.

He brush off dusts from his sleeves, his fingers slender and fair, just like the most beautiful of jades.

“Hiding does not allow you to live without fear,” this is the first thing he says to her, his voice low and alluring.

Years later, these very words will be deeply engraved in her heart.  So will the memories of this night.

This is his and her’s first meeting, though reek with the smell of blood, it is still ingrained in their memories nevertheless.

Xi Yan gets up, the people chasing her just now are all dead on the ground.

As it turns out, this man is not one of the common people.

He came from Taiyuan Building and possess such high martial arts skill, it seems that his purpose wasn’t simply to flee from the a.s.sa.s.sins.

She wasn’t thinking this far just now.  It was an emergency situation and she had no time to think, so she easily conclude him as one of the common people trying to escape the scenes outside.

Now that she got her logic back, she unconsciously draws back from him.

As she retreats, he suddenly lifts his hand and shot a silver flash towards her direction.  She can’t avoid it, it’s much faster than she is.
