"But if I'm not the assassin's target, then there's a much better way."
"You should be the one getting reinforcements, not me." Hearing Shi Li's words, Liansisi didn't run away. On the contrary, she charged straight into the fray.
She completely switched places with Shi Li, who nearly cried out in shock.
But then, something unbelievable happened.
The assassin actually managed to stop his weapon at the last second, the blade coming dangerously close to slicing Liansisi's throat.
Shi Li broke out in a cold sweat.
"Are you crazy?!" Shi Li grabbed her so forcefully that Liansisi even grunted in pain.
"I'm not crazy."
"So, you don't dare to kill me?"
"Then you've picked the wrong person to mess with." Liansisi laughed out loud when she saw the assassin was genuinely holding back.
She hadn't expected the assassin to be so transparent.
He had just exposed a major flaw.
He seemed like an amateur, someone without professional training.
