”Fourth Miss, are you alright?” Song Lai lit the oil lamp first, then walked towards Su Li.
Su Li nodded his head, his gaze looking at the sword in Song Lai's hands, ”So you know martial arts!”
Song Lai nervously held onto his sword, ”Can Fourth Miss keep this a secret for me?”
”Everyone has their own secrets. Since you saved me, as long as there is no enmity between us, I will protect your secrets for you.”
”Does the Fourth Miss have its own secrets?”
Su Li laughed, ”I think that killer will not come again. Let's go back and rest, we still need to go to Chen Family Village tomorrow.”
Song Lai looked at Su Li deeply, then took his sword and left the room.
On the other side.
After the assassin heard the night bird's cry, he flew out of the Yi Village realm.
Outside Yi Village, a man quietly stood in the darkness with a figure that emitted an instinctive reverence and submission.
”Master did not come back when he was ugly. Subordinate follows his orders.”
”Well, how is she?”
”It's more difficult to deal with than what this subordinate had imagined. Song Lai whose Yi Village has yet to be obtained seems to not be an ordinary person …”
”Investigate!”
The man's voice was low and without any emotion, but it gave people a creepy feeling of danger.
”Yes.”
The man suddenly turned around. His gaze instantly fell on the assassin's right shoulder, where his clothes had been torn. The corner of his lips curled up into a cold smile. ”It seems like she doesn't believe me.”
In the morning of the second day, Su Li had only just woken up when his mind resounded with the long and pitiable mechanical voice.
”Lord Host, only five points of HP left.”
”Shut up.” Su Li rubbed her hair restlessly as she got off the bed to wash. When she saw the pinching mark on her neck, her heart and lungs almost exploded.
Who sent the killer last night? Was it someone from the General's Mansion? Or was it the crown prince?
As she walked out, she thought about what had happened last night.
”Fourth Miss is up? ”Today, I cooked some porridge …”
Before Song Lai could finish speaking, Su Li suddenly raised his head and stared at him, ”Did anyone say the word 'ugly' when we were at the magistrate court yesterday?”
Song Lai was startled by Su Li's jumping question for an instant, ”It was said by the Fifth Prince.”
”What did he say?”
