“Do you think that you’ll still be able to make a move?”
Misunderstanding the meaning of the female assassin’s words, Meng Long snapped.
His sudden outburst caused the atmosphere which had just barely alleviated to grow heavy once more.
At this moment, the Eastern Islands female assassin suddenly noticed that everyone’s gazes were on here, and of which, there was one that felt exceptionally piercing.
Glancing in the direction from where the piercing gaze came from, the Eastern Islands female assassin saw a gray-robed man leaning against a tree with his arms crossed before him.
The depths of the Eastern Islands female assassin’s eyes suddenly darkened. She finally knew why Wang Chong wasn’t worried about letting her free. Given her present state, before this powerful man, she didn’t stand a chance at all.
“Hurry up and leave, they won’t be so kind to you every time. I believe that you can tell that many of us here are actually very willing to have you stay.”
Li Zhuxin spoke calmly as he gazed deeply at the Eastern Islands female assassin. There seemed to be some bizarre glint in his eyes.
After struggling inwardly for a few moments, the Eastern Islands female assassin finally pushed herself up. Glancing at Li Zhuxin doubtfully, she felt a little anxious yet expectant… With a step after another, as though treading on thin ice, she slowly walked away.
Until she disappeared amidst the trees, no one had moved at all, and no one had laid their hands on her.
Hu!
The Eastern Islands female assassin heaved a huge sigh of relief. A kind of indescribable emotion that wasn’t entirely relief nor frustration grasped her heart. Flinging her sleeves, she soon disappeared in the direction toward the bottom of the mountain.
Finally! ——
“I didn’t think that you’ll let her go!”
When the Eastern Islands female assassin disappeared in the distance, Li Zhuxin suddenly turned to look at Wang Chong. The female assassin seemed to have thought that it was Li Zhuxin who saved her and let her go, but that wasn’t the case.
When Wang Chong gathered all of the herbs on the floor, honestly speaking, he was shocked as well.
“Hehe! I have my own considerations for choosing not to kill her.”
Rather than explaining the matter, Wang Chong simply chuckled mysteriously.
Naturally, it wasn’t because he felt sorry for her and his compassion suddenly worked up. Rather, he had other plans in mind. His true goal was the Ten Eastern Islands, as well as the ten female empresses on them.
Even though Wang Chong had heard of the ten empresses in his previous life, he didn’t have any interactions with them.
Back then, when the foreign cavalries invaded, the Ten Eastern Islands suffered the least damage.
According to the rumors Wang Chong heard, some unique events had occurred on those islands.
Thus, Wang Chong needed someone to serve as a bridge between him and the Ten Eastern Islands. In any case, just like what Li Zhuxin said before, even if he were to kill her, the mastermind behind her would just send another assassin. Moreover… Wang Chong was confident that she would come to look for him.
…
Wang Chong had expected the Eastern Islands female assassin to return for him, but never in his wildest dreams did he expect that she would return so quickly!
