235. LEGEND...(5)

Meilin thought about using the secret passage, but they still had to cross the open path to reach the king's quarters to get there... it didn't seem feasible, but then she saw her team running towards her...

She almost breathed a sigh of relief when she instinctively brought the frail Xuan to the front and--

SWOOOSH

PAK

An arrow was shot at them and if not for her reaction, Xuan would have been directly killed!

Meilin spat a mouthful of blood from the impact and it was just then that Xuan finally opened his eyes with difficulty, "Mei---", his breathing almost stopped when he saw the arrow that had pierced harshly into her.

Meilin couldn't speak and could only caress his back to tell him that she was fine.
