"Asshole, stay away from me!"
Zi Ye cursed and suddenly pulled out a dagger, slashing towards Li Wei's neck.
Li Wei quickly dodged and, with a forceful shrug of his shoulder, pushed Zi Ye a good two meters away.
However, this woman's balance was truly remarkable; it seemed she hadn't slacked in practicing the basics over the years.
Balancing on one leg in a single-leg squat, she retreated several steps without falling over and finally stood firm.
Xie Wanqiu hadn't fully recovered her wits yet, naturally not catching the exchange between Li Wei and Zi Ye.
She had grown up in a very privileged household, always sheltered by her parents and close friends.
Her only blemish was a failed marriage with Qian Jiahao.
Qian Jiahao wasn't a man she had chosen for herself, but one introduced to her through her family.
The power of the Qian and Xie families wasn't in Jiang City but in the imperial capital.
