At this moment, Ran Yan and the man in black were both at the end of their ropes.
But what drove the man in black to despair was that this woman, who seemed frail, had a face as pale as death under the escaped moonlight, yet she still refused to fall. Her resilience, even for a man like him who had killed many, was something he couldn't help but admire.
"Who on earth are you?" In the midst of the standoff, the man in black was the first to speak. He believed that no ordinary woman could possess such willpower and suspected Ran Yan was a hidden assassin from within the royal circle.
Ran Yan remained silent, not because she didn't want to answer, but because she was afraid that her weak voice would give away her current state of powerlessness.
Seeing that Ran Yan did not respond, the man in black thought she was faltering and continued, "No matter whose side you are on, leaving the Ninth Prince alive is a disaster."
