Absolutely Not Striking to Kill

Gu Lan scanned his surroundings with a cold expression, but after a short while, a trace of confusion appeared in his eyes. The area was vast, and apart from the two of them, there was not a hint of any other person's presence. He was utterly puzzled and could not understand why Xue Lengyan had brought him here.

"This place doesn't have anyone else's presence. Speak, why have you brought me here?" he asked, his tone icy and devoid of any emotion.

Upon hearing his words, Xue Lengyan smiled faintly. "Don't be in such a hurry, Young Master. They'll be here soon," she replied calmly.

Her expression remained cold, and there was a murderous intent in her eyes. Since she had gone to such lengths to bring Gu Lan here, she certainly had a plan in mind. After all this effort, how could she let Gu Lan come here for nothing?

Gu Lan glanced at her briefly and then turned his gaze toward the distance.
