As soon as he said that, a person—more precisely, a dark shadow—floated out of the darkness Only when it got behind Chen Pingping could its figure be clearly seen It was a figure dressed coure of so the person’s aura, Fan Xian’s pupils contracted slightly as his entire body tensed up Then he relaxed a bit as he reo, this sae and killed a le

Fan Xian’s heart skipped a beat While he knew about the arrangement, he was still u
