This Man Was Truly Dashing!!
Not far from the carriage were black-clothed individuals hiding. They all had black masks except their leader. His facial expressions seemed calm. He was standing on a thick tree branch while watching the assassination.
The group of assassins had killed all the guards when a young girl kicked the carriage door open.
His facial expression looked even more bored, a trace of agitation could be seen in his eyes. He had long and silky hair, a golden crown was held in place around his forehead with a blue gem on it, it complimented his fair skin. On his face rested soft lips which were neither plump nor thin, he had a straight nose and bright blue eyes. He was truly someone who's charms could never be forgotten. One didn't even need to take a second glance to know that this man was truly dashing!!
He had seen so many assassinations in his life and this assassination scene seemed like any other. But when the girl opened her mouth, he wasn't shocked but curious.
He focused on the girl's face and then on her tied hands.
He angled his head to the right to focus on the girl's eyes, but he failed.
"Helloo!" The girl shouted.
His lips naturally curled up and looked at what was to unfold. He saw the interaction between the girl and the assassins. He was curious about her courage but thought it was too arrogant. In his eyes, she was just a girl who couldn't escape her fate.
The group with the dashing man also thought the same, but in their eyes, she was akin to an idiotic spoilt girl who didn't know when to stop.
They had been watching for some time and just when the girl was about to be killed they all sensed an overwhelming power!
The dashing man sensed it was well and his eyes landed on the girl's eyes finally. What he saw made him tilt his head to the left with amazement. Her eyes were filled with spiritual power just like his, but hers were brighter.
'How does she cultivate?' He had cultivated for all his life yet this little girl had such power. He knew he was an extraordinary person, but so was she and she might have the answer to what he needed.
The hidden group watched the assassins burn. Their view on the girl's courage was changed. They looked at the flames keenly. Withing the flames, there seemed to be an animal. They focused on the flames and were astonished!
The dashing man also caught the sight of a bird in the flames. His expression turned complicated.
Suddenly the flames exploded and left only ashes on the ground, but the trees in the area weren't harmed! Where is the carriage?
He raised his hands and signalled for the group to search the area.
…
The assassins found nothing unusual.
"Master." A firm voice came from the shadows. A man wearing black garments and a red mask walked out of the shadows and into the view of the dashing man before kneeling.
"Speak." The dashing man's voice was firm, but it was more superior.
"The young lady is from the Li family in the Zhenshi country. She lives on the northwest side of the Zhen kingdom. She is General Li Cheng's granddaughter. She is now in Li Manor as we speak. Her abilities have not been discovered by anyone except the three people in the carriage. Her name is Li Jiao Lei, and she is the daughter of the late general Li Sheng."
The dashing man didn't reply immediately.
"Is that so?" The dashing man's lips curved up.
"Yes, master"
"Mhm, Set course for Zhen kingdom."
"Master, but we are already in the Zhen kingdom."
"I'm not going there as a spy. Make the changes."
