It seemed Gu Xiaoman noticed something off about Bai Xiu's gaze.
Gu Xiaoman instinctively glanced at the spot where she had been standing at the Frozen Lake.
"Cough cough..."
Gu Xiaoman smiled apologetically and quickly waved her sleeve, summoning the Spirit Black Snake of [Dissolving Dream] back into her sleeve.
"Sizzling!"
As the expanding black arc sphere dissipated...
The tense air around the Frozen Lake relaxed.
Seeing Gu Xiaoman still as "sly" as she was five years ago, Bai Xiu felt slightly relieved. The more cunning the little one is, the safer she is when traveling.
However, his expression remained grave: "You mentioned the Cloud Tiger earlier, do you suspect they would send someone to assassinate you?"
"Not exactly yes, nor exactly no."
Gu Xiaoman rubbed her temples, looking somewhat helpless.
"I just think that if an assassin were to come for me... the chances are highest they'd be from Cloud Tiger Sect."
