A flash of cold light.
Rain muffled the din. Lightning streaked across the night sky, revealing two graceful silhouettes inside the hall.
The candle flame flickered.
A tear slid down Zhao Yunxi's cheek.
Heze Na Ye clutched her throat in disbelief as blood welled between her fingers. She tried to say something, but the moment she opened her mouth, blood flooded it like a spring.
"Sister! Don't blame me. You stood in his way."
Rain beat against the roof tiles like a fierce drumroll, while the woman's words were slow and icy.
The killer's tears shattered on the ground.
She stepped forward, trampling the scattered tears. Another flash of lightning vanished in an instant, illuminating the silver gleam of the long sword in the woman's hand, cold enough to pierce to the bone.
Tears filled Heze Na Ye's eyes. In disbelief, she staggered backward as the poison in her body took effect. The young woman stumbled and fell into a chair in the main hall.
The silver light illuminated the wall and pierced the young woman's chest.
Zhao Yunxi let go of her sword. Her face was as cold as frost, yet tears streamed from her eyes.
Zhao Yunxi passed the kneeling guards and walked alone into the rainy night. The two guards exchanged a glance, then hurried inside and carried out the body of a person dressed in black.
The icy rain struck Zhao Yunxi's face. She could not tell whether it was her tears or the rainwater that entered her mouth. Both tasted salty and bitter, and were impossible to distinguish.
I cheer for myself🤭
It's good to watch, the plot is careful, and the world view is grand. It's much better than those dirty books.
