(Multiple Identitities + Pure Love + Favorite of the Group + Face-Slapping + Big Shot) A mission brought Qi Jiu to China, where she became the adopted daughter of the Shen family.
Outside obs...
Qi Jiu was stunned for a moment, then a slight smile appeared on her lips as she looked at Leng Ruo's figure not far away, her eyes filled with helplessness.
Now, she seems to understand Leng Ruo a little.
Have you ever looked into Ruoruo's eyes?
Li Hao turned to look at Qi Jiu's profile. Although he didn't understand why she asked that, he nodded. "Mm."
Isn't this something we can see all the time?
"Have you ever seen Ruoruo's hopeful, determined eyes? Have you ever seen them dim and filled with defeat?"
If Leng Ruo wants to become stronger, this is something that cannot be changed.
The girl turned around, looked at Li Hao, and smiled.
Li Hao was taken aback, then shook his head.
“I’ve seen him before.” She smiled as she said this.
“Leng Ruo isn’t stupid. You understand the principles, so how could she not understand them? This matter concerns her life, so of course she understands it better than anyone else. She understands it better than you and me.”
"Aren't you worried?"
Seeing Li Hao's increasingly anxious expression, Qi Jiu shook her head. Not far away, Leng Ruo had sustained several more wounds, and from an angle unseen by others, the girl's expression was complex.
She looked at Li Hao and smiled calmly.
"If that old man sees you like this, you're probably going to get scolded again."
The biggest taboo for an assassin is getting emotional. Even though they knew the other person's background, they fell for them way too quickly. But Han Yan will only grumble a little at most.
"As for Leng Ruo, of course I'm worried, but I'm not her, and I can't make decisions for her. Her life is her own, and her future is her own; we should trust her own judgment."
The two people on the training ground had not yet stopped moving.
Leng Ruo's condition seems to have worsened; she's panting heavily and looks like she might collapse at any moment.
Fortunately, she didn't; she held on.
The person on the other side wasn't in much better shape; he was swaying slightly as he stood.
He looked at Leng Ruo and couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. "Madmen, they're all fucking madmen!"
I thought everyone who came here risked their life was crazy, but I never expected to meet someone even crazier than a madman today!
Leng Ruo laughed, casually wiping the blood from her lips. "Who would come here if they weren't crazy?"
She must have made a tremendous decision and put in so much effort to get here. To want to quit? That's impossible.
She seemed to grip the dagger in her hand even tighter.
Under the terrified gaze of the person opposite her, she slowly straightened up, her eyes gleaming with a look of readiness, as if she were about to pounce at them at any moment.
She adjusts her mindset quickly; when her opponent is not in good form, she is already poised to strike.
The person opposite her cursed inwardly as they watched her grip the dagger tightly.
What is this person made of? How can their energy seem to be inexhaustible?
But now is the time to fight tooth and nail, so there's nothing we can say.
The two were soon entangled again. During this time, Leng Ruo suffered many more wounds, but she seemed not to feel any pain and continued to attack.
The blood flowing from the wound seemed not to be hers.
Soon, the violent movements widened her wounds, causing more blood to flow out. Her clothes were stained with large patches of blood, and her face and hands were also covered in blood, making her look extremely disheveled.
She was covered in blood and looked like she would die at any moment, but for some reason, she had managed to hold on until now.
Leng Ruo's opponent was dumbfounded as he watched her increasingly fierce attacks.
From initially dodging to eventually being unable to dodge, a look of despair slowly crept onto his face.
A grown man was lying on the ground, his face filled with terror. "Are you crazy?!"
Leng Ruo didn't speak, but her hands continued to move.
The man panicked. If things continued as they were, he might be the one to die!
No, he can't die!
"I quit! I quit! Stop! I quit!" he shouted loudly, attracting the attention of the surrounding officers.
Leng Ruo gripped the dagger and slowly came to her senses.
Those dark eyes seemed to have been rekindled with light, shining brightly.
If he withdraws, does that mean she succeeded?
Tarlin, who had just arrived from elsewhere, was taken aback when she saw Leng Ruo covered in blood. She then looked at her opponent, pursed her lips, and stepped forward to create distance between the two.
"Student Leng Ruo wins!" The assessment has ended.
Upon hearing Tarlin's words, Leng Ruo finally revealed a faint smile.
Her opponent, writhing in pain from his wounds, was unable to get up from the ground and could only manage to stand with the help of his superior.
Looking at Leng Ruo, he couldn't help but say something.
"Crazy woman!"
But Leng Ruo's mind wasn't on that. She looked at the slender figure on the platform and smiled. She seemed oblivious to the cracked and bleeding lips, a smile playing on her lips.
She smiled happily, as if to say: Qiqi, look, I did it!
The next second, Leng Ruo felt the world spinning, her vision went black, and she completely lost consciousness.
As Qi Jiu watched her fall, she instinctively stood up, but seeing the quick action to help her up, she breathed a sigh of relief.
She worked incredibly hard, and this result is the best possible outcome.
Logically, Leng Ruo should have had another fight next, but coincidentally, that person was present during Leng Ruo's first fight. Seeing her reckless behavior, he announced his withdrawal before the assessment even started.
Who could stand that? Although there was a mortality rate in this assessment, he didn't want to face a crazy person who wasn't afraid of death.
Finally, Qi Jiu held the final list, propped her feet up on the table, and looked to be in a very good mood.
"What, did your boyfriend hand over his salary? You seem so happy."
When Tallinn came in and saw her like this, he casually teased, "Are you leaving soon?"
The recruitment process is now over. It's been two days since the final assessment ended, and Leng Ruo is still lying in the infirmary.
Despite being covered in injuries, Qi Jiu was still happy for her.
"Of course, I still have things to take care of in China."
"China? What's going on? You're probably rushing to see your boyfriend."
Tallinn looked at her and poked her arm with his finger. "Let's go, your little roommate seems to be awake, and right now, the person she wants to see most is you."
Qi Jiu was taken aback and put her feet down from the table.
When they arrived at the infirmary, the girl looked at Li Hao sitting next to Leng Ruo and pursed her lips.
How come this kid is faster than her?
Leng Ruo, lying in the hospital bed, was still a little pale, but she was much better than she had been two days ago.
Her body was covered in white bandages, which looked somewhat frightening, but Leng Ruo seemed unconcerned.
