"I'll stay with you tonight."
Su Xuan withdrew his gaze from the window and sat by Long Xiwen's bed, making small talk with her.
He was indeed a bit worried. He feared that the icy woman who could scale walls would suddenly climb through the window to assassinate Long Xiwen.
He had encountered more than one or two such figures from the martial world: the Zhao Wei senior and junior brothers of the Five Poisons Sect, Du Zilong of Du's Tai Chi, the flying dagger wielder Cai Ruifeng... Which one of them wasn't utterly ruthless?
But the burly man and the icy woman he had met tonight didn't seem like ordinary people from the martial world. Their abilities were almost supernatural...
"Su Xuan, do you know why I used to be so timid?" Long Xiwen's voice pulled Su Xuan from his thoughts.
"Why?" Su Xuan smiled warmly. "Were you frightened by something in the past?"
"Yes and no." Long Xiwen curved her pale lips and told Su Xuan a story.
