Deciding life and death—this is the Shadow Hall, an organization that has long stood at the pinnacle of the world!
As the daughter of the Shadow Hall, An Qianbai became the spokesperson for the Shadow Hall.
At this moment, her gaze was cold and icy, devoid of her initial naivety and vulnerability. She didn't even try to conceal her murderous intent, because she knew there were too many paths to walk in this world, and too many people to allow her to traverse them freely. Therefore, she had to make a choice—
Will you go around and get chased, or will you break through and dominate others?
It wasn't her heart that was cruel, nor her cold-heartedness; after all, it was the law of survival of the fittest.
It's not her fault!
Everyone looked at An Qianbai, and in that instant they realized that there was now a remarkable woman here who could intimidate the imperial city!
At this moment, their gazes no longer held any disrespect, and they dared not underestimate An Qianbai. The mere reputation of the Shadow Hall was enough to intimidate the entire imperial city, and this strict and ruthless young lady seemed even more formidable—
An Qianbai glanced at the crowd and saw the fear on their faces as they avoided her one by one, which she found laughable.
I used to be looked down upon, bullied, and hated by everyone since I was a child. I never thought that one day I would be able to look at others with such eyes and control their life and death!
Now that I've already tasted the bitterness of my own pain, why should those hypocritical bastards still be able to do whatever they want?
She won't show any mercy anymore!
no way!
With a haughty, indifferent smile, An Qianbai straightened her hair and turned to leave, but the peace was shattered once again:
"After traveling thousands of miles, I never expected to meet a kindred spirit at the final destination! Is this Miss An from the Shadow Hall? Seeing is believing, and I am truly honored to have this opportunity today!"
An Qianbai looked in the direction of the sound and saw a man in blue wearing a mask walking slowly towards her.
His voice was particularly shrill, with a hint of seductive charm. His skin was unusually pale, contrasting sharply with the black cat in his arms, which lay lazily and adorably in his embrace.
"This, isn't the black cat in this young master's arms the peerless Yun Zhi young master of Nancheng? Could it be that this is Yun Zhi young master?"
"Putting aside his identity, just looking at his attire, he's definitely the chosen one!"
An Qianbai frowned slightly. She had heard of the Four Young Masters before, the most famous of whom was Bu Yunzhi, the Young Master of Nancheng. However, he earned the title of "Peerless Playboy" because of his womanizing ways.
However, what threatened An Qianbai was not his identity, but rather the aura emanating from this man that was similar to the deathly energy within him—
"My name is Bu Yunzhi, and I am a participant in tomorrow's election," Bu Yunzhi said with a smile.
"It really is Young Master Yunzhi!"
"I knew it! With Young Master Yunzhi's status, how could he not be chosen as the Chosen One!"
Envious glances were cast around her, but when they looked at An Qianbai, they seemed ready to watch the show.
They all knew he was incredibly promiscuous. No woman he set his sights on could escape his grasp!
“I didn’t expect you to be the chosen one, my apologies! If you are interested, you can come to the Royal Casino for a game, and I will personally act as the dealer to deal the cards for you!” An Qianbai said with a smile.
Bu Yunzhi's lips curled into a slight smile. "I'd rather not; I'm afraid I'll be unlucky and lose all my clothes! But I really hope to go on a date with Miss An and chat about life! I think..."
Bu Yunzhi stroked the black cat in his arms and spoke with a confident expression:
"Miss An shouldn't refuse, right?"
An Qianbai's face flashed with displeasure, but considering the other party's status, she did not show it directly. Instead, she said tactfully, "Qianbai has already made plans with someone else tonight, so I'm afraid I can't accompany you, sir."
"Heh, during the election, only the chosen one is the most powerful in this imperial city! Miss An, I don't think you have the right to refuse me!" Bu Yunzhi flashed and appeared in front of An Qianbai in the blink of an eye. He reached out and pinched An Qianbai's chin, and gently said to her, "As a newbie, you can scare those petty thieves, but you're useless against me!"
An Qianbai frowned, trying to push Bu Yunzhi away, but he was held firmly and had no way to break free.
Bu Yunzhi squinted at An Qianbai and smiled wickedly, "Heh, I didn't expect you to have such an interesting power within you! You really arouse my strong possessiveness!"
Upon hearing this, An Qianbai was instantly enraged and clenched her fist, swinging it at Bu Yunzhi...
However, at that very moment, a powerful force pushed Bu Yunzhi away from behind, causing him to stagger back a few steps before regaining his balance.
An Qianbai stared at her fist in astonishment. It seemed that she hadn't just thrown the punch...
Just then, a figure in white stood in front of her. An Qianbai was stunned for a moment, then looked up and saw the back of the white-clad youth, and couldn't help but tremble.
He is just like the young man I think about day and night and can't forget!
"Meow—" The black cat suddenly jumped off Bu Yunzhi's arms, baring its teeth and howling at the boy in white.
Bu Yunzhi stared in astonishment at the newcomer, feeling the foreign energy surging within his body. He immediately shouted at the black cat, "It's getting dark! Come back!"
The black cat immediately turned its head and jumped back into Bu Yunzhi's arms.
Looking at the man in white robes and wearing a red mask, Bu Yunzhi smiled and said, "The imperial city is really small; you can meet the chosen one so easily."
Gu Liyan looked at him without saying anything.
Extremely embarrassed, Bu Yunzhi continued speaking to himself, "My name is Bu Yunzhi. May I ask your name, sir..."
