4 Surrounded 2 (2/2)
The man in black who was their leader frowned ' Why do I feel that this voice and aura highly familiar?'
Xia Lian silently watched the man opposite her with a sharp and cold gaze. They had to act soon as she had to take her brother to a doctor. These men are wasting her precious time and adding to that they are spouting nonsense without attacking them. Did they think that they are in debate? Xia Lian had only one thought in her mind ' I must clear these scum from my way..'
Not looking away from the masked man opposite them, Xia Lian asked in a low voice ” Do you have a dagger on you?”
” Yes, inside my outer robe on the left..” the veiled man replied almost immediately without even thinking twice as to why she asked a dagger.
Without waiting for him to finish his words, Xia Lian put her hands inside his robe and pulled out the dagger and unsheathed it.
The man froze on the spot by her sudden touch.But, he quickly calmed his thumping heart when he noticed her indifferent expression. ' Did she forget that I'm a man?' he secretly wondered. This little girl was truly different!
Xia Lian did not notice that her earlier actions were weird and that the man beside her is staring at her. She forgot that this is an ancient era and that she had to be careful when it comes to men. This is not a modern era, where one can shake hands and hug the opposite gender without any care. But, at the moment the little girl's mind was completely filled with thoughts of how to get rid of these men before her.
She completely turned fierce and domineering as she bent forward a little while positioning the dagger in her left hand. She was a left hander and she naturally felt comfortable using it. So, she held the dagger in her left hand.
Xia Lian assumed the attacking position and looked at the men surrounding them with a murderous glint in her eyes.
She looked like a fierce untamed lioness that had been provoked.
' This girl is really interesting. She clearly lacks strength but on sensing danger she changed into a whole new person.. ' the man with the veil smiled sub-consciously looking at her.
” You guys are courting death” the leader of the group growled in anger and signaled his men with his hands. Xia Lian saw all of them unsheath their swords at once. She understood that they are going to charge at them at once. It is despicable but all is fair in war and love.
” Let's trust our backs to each other.” she looked at the veiled man beside her and confidently proposed her plan making the man surprised. He clearly did not expect such a brave girl by his side. She neither flinched nor cried, but she was ready to go for a kill even in such terrible condition.
” Alright..” he really wanted to see her skills after hearing her calm voice in such a dangerous situation. He wanted to see if she is all talk or if she is really skilled.
Immediately when the men in black moved, both of them stood with their backs facing each other and charged at them at the same instant.
