Chapter 65 (1/2)

Mu Feichi reached out and rubbed her head disdainfully, as if he had just found his lost pet.

There was no sympathy or pity in his deep eyes, only a hint of his helpless adoration.

His arrogant countenance seemed to express the sentiment of, “I’m the only one who can deal with someone as stupid as you!”

The morning sunlight fell on Yun Xi’s face. Her clear, bright eyes were fixed on him, and his reflection was mirrored in them.

Her fair, soft skin was flawless. Absolutely no blemishes were visible on her face, and, under the sunlight, her skin glowed with a pearl-like l.u.s.ter.

With sheer luck, she’d beaten the 40 elites with her little ruse. The disgruntled expression on her face made her appear somewhat pitiful, but he had to admit that she was extremely competent.

“You’ve already pa.s.sed through five sentry posts. For someone as pet.i.te as you are, that’s already a very impressive feat. I don’t think that the others will mess with you any further.”

“That was it?” She stared at him incredulously.

Although she realized that if another group of people arrived she might not be able to put up a fight against them, wouldn’t pa.s.sing the level like this be considered somewhat unscrupulous cheating?

“Why, do you want to compete against me?”

“…” Yun Xi rolled her eyes at him. She had no idea what to answer him as she used his hand to help her to stand up.

She might not be able to beat the elite team from under the mountain. And as for this ruthless young Marshal Mu, wouldn’t she be digging her own grave if she tried to take him on?

The off-road vehicle made a swift U-turn and drove toward the top of the mountain.

Turning to glance at the view outside the window, Yun Xi carefully began identifying the sentries and the terrain that was all around the area.

Mu Feichi seemed to be able to read her mind. He asked her with a straight face, “You’ve been observing the mountain all the time we’ve been driving. Have you seen anything remarkable?”

“No.” Moving her gaze to now look at him, Yun Xi answered faintly.

She understood that even if she saw something, she must be determined to hide it.

“Really?” Mu Feichi chuckled and stopped pestering her with questions.

The car drove to the top of the mountain. The open-air monitoring equipment on the top of the mountain had been removed. A group of men stood around as they waited for Mu to bring the formidable little girl up there.
