Pretending

The soldiers responded in unison and spread out to search from the inside out.

Qi Haoran lowered his head to look at the marks on the ground. There were indeed signs of a fight here, but it was only in this area. Strangely, there were no signs of fighting outside of this area.

Bai Li also felt that it was very strange, so he followed the traces to investigate.

Qi Haoran looked at the person on the ground who had his jaw dislocated and then at the limited traces. He suddenly realized something. Before he could call for help, a figure shot towards him. Qi Haoran only had time to roll on the ground to dodge their attack. Before he could look up and see the figure clearly, he heard the sound of a dagger piercing through the air. Qi Haoran instinctively reached out to block it. Feeling a pain in his arm, he kicked out as he looked towards the assassin.

Seeing that it was Mu Yangling, he was slightly stunned and his movements slowed down for a moment.
