"Dad!"
I'm done for! This is the end for me!
Seeing the female clerk delivering his meal suddenly turn into an assassin, Wu Yuansheng's face changed drastically. He didn't have Emperor Qin Shihuang's ability to dodge around pillars. I'm doomed... I'm going to be stabbed to death.
But at the crucial moment, the unexpected happened.
WHOOSH! SCRAPE!
A flicker of green light suddenly flared up from the peace buckle pendant Wu Yuansheng wore. The light screen appeared just in time, perfectly blocking the female assassin's sharp dagger.
PFFT!
The dagger, filled with Inner Strength, struck the light screen. Although the barrier wavered, the assassin's power was inferior to that of Qin Lin, who had nourished the peace buckle. She failed to break through the defensive light.
"What?"
"What's going on?"
The scene left both Wu Yuansheng and his daughter, Wu Jianjian, dumbfounded. They never would have imagined that the jade pendant would be what saved him.
Damn it!
