"Keep dreaming!"
Nan Qianyue glanced back at the assassin, then released the crevice and fell into the deep valley with Nan Kezhi.
thump--
The two fell into the water, splashing water everywhere.
The assassin in the valley gritted his teeth. He couldn't let her go so easily. If she escaped and told everyone what had happened today, then that person...
