Chapter 65 - Shi Jing (Nuan) (2/2)

Lou Xi is holding a piece of paper, a letter. Sheri frowns and asks the handwritten letter from him. He gives a sigh then passes it to her. After reading Sheri didn't speak as she reaches out for another paper and starts to write a word. She calls someone to deliver it back as a response. She then follows as to leave. Ru Shan stretches out his arm to grab her and supposed to ask her what she had written but Lou Xi grabs onto her hand first.

”Don't. You don't know her. She's the most deceiving person I've ever meet. ”Lou Xi seriously said.

Sheri looks back at him. ”I know but have faith in me,” Sheri said.

Lou Xi frowns but didn't let go of her hand. Ru Shan was clenching his fist while looking at them. Her father was on the side, and he knows his daughter very well. She will do everything doing to do the right thing. He fears the outcome, but he knows her daughter's skill is way beyond what he thinks it is. He trusts in her capability.

”I trust you. Come back safe.” Lou Xi gently said pulling her closing their distance then kisses her on the lips.

Sheri was stupefied together with the rest of the surrounding people. She pushed him. A blush starts to bloom on her face.

”This guy has no shame at all!”She thought.

The time has come. As of what the content of the letter they received says: asking Sheri to have a battle with Li Na. A one-on-one battle. If Sheri wins, the enemy will surrender but if Li Na wins, their group will be the one to give up and surrender. Sheri said yes. She will fight regardless of what will happen. She is taking a chance that the system will exempt her from the rules.

It was the afternoon of the day. The female lead and the second female lead will confront each other. Both were prepared. Sheri dresses in black khaki and a shirt. Her boots were specially made for soldiers. She had asked someone before to tailor everything according to her taste and made sure everything is naturally made of high-quality products. She hangs her sword at her back and gallops her horse toward the female lead who is waiting. She saw she is wearing her ȧssassin clothes and when the female lead saw her, she didn't flinch.

”I know you are the same as me. Tsk, we will see if you can defeat me,” Li Na voices out with arrogance.

Sheri didn't answer. She just looks at her and goes down from her horse.

The female lead does the same.

Sheri walks toward the center. Followed by the female lead.

”I don't know what Lou Xi sees in you but I guarantee you, you will never prevail after this.” Li Na said.

”Stop with your chitchat,” Sheri retorted back.

All the spectators together with the Crown Prince were standing by. Lou Xi is clenching his fist. He feels it was his fault that Sheri has to fight Li Na.

The female lead started speeding toward Sheri. Sheri also moves speeding towards her. Both of them crush their swords against each other. Li Na was shocked by how she easily dodges her vicious attack.

”Not bad.” Li Na said scornfully when she was 20 meters away from Sheri.

Sheri didn't react nor give any reaction, but she just keeps on aggressively attacking and defending her self. The battle was fierce. Both of them didn't withhold their strength giving their all in the thought of cornering the other side in defeat. Sheri didn't bother anymore what the system would say. She will face the consequence later on.
