Suddenly.
Xiao Jinxing and Ye Qichi glanced at each other.
They distinctly felt footsteps approaching.
Step by step, becoming clearer and clearer.
Disaster.
They were discovered.
Ye Qichi hastily picked up the dagger from the ground.
She carefully edged towards the entrance.
Xiao Jinxing watched Ye Qichi's movements, watched as she, once again, positioned herself in front of him…
Why does this woman recklessly throw herself in danger for him?!
Xiao Jinxing's lips were tightly pursed.
He instantly focused his attention on the footsteps outside.
Because of the tension, sweat began dripping from his forehead.
A moment so tense it was suffocating.
Ye Qichi, dagger in hand, seemed to already see the assassin's black boots at the moment she was about to strike.
"There's someone over there!" Suddenly, a loud voice called out.
The pair of black boots that were about to step in instantly followed the voice and left.
And stayed away for a long time.
