Song Lianhe was struck speechless.
'Why do I sound like such a scumbag?'
'But that wasn't the case at all!'
'This won't do. I have to defend myself!'
"I..."
The man's expression changed in an instant. He flung his cloak over her head and, without a word, pulled her against his chest!
Before Song Lianhe could even figure out what was happening, the sharp SWISH SWISH SWISH of something cutting through the air whistled past her ears.
"Assassins!"
A Shadow Guard cried out, and the Chi Xiao instantly moved to defend and counter the attack.
Shielded by the cloak, Song Lianhe was plunged into pitch-black darkness. A loud BANG echoed beside her as the door slammed shut.
THWACK! THWACK! THWACK!
A volley of arrows slammed into the wooden door, one after another.
"This is..."
Song Lianhe tried to peek out from the cloak to see what was going on, but a large hand pushed her head back in. "Don't come out."
