Chapter 7 Purple Blade - Manluo
Xiyan was escaping as she walked out of the bedroom and ran into Han Xiao head-on.
Han Xiao originally wanted to find Xiao Nanyan to report the matter, but when he saw Xi Yan staggering out of the hall, her clothes disheveled and her hair messy, Han Xiao's heart tightened. Without thinking, he supported her, his voice full of unconcealed concern:
"Xiyan, are you... okay?"
Xiyan's pale cheeks flushed slightly, she lowered her eyes and said softly:
"No problem!"
Han Xiao looked at her blushing face and his heart trembled slightly.
In his eyes, the sunset of the past was like an unreachable iceberg, breathtakingly beautiful, yet keeping people at a distance.
He rarely saw any extra expressions on her face, and the shy look that the ice beauty rarely showed made him feel a different kind of warmth.
Xiao Nanyan has tens of thousands of assassins under his command, with four leaders, two men and two women: Xuansha Hanxiao, Yesha Mo Ren, Zisha Manluo, and Xuesha Xiyan.
The four of them fought their way through the pile of corpses before becoming the leaders of the death squad.
He is good at using hidden weapons, Mo Ren is proficient in swordsmanship, Man Luo is good at using poison, and Xi Yan has outstanding lightness skills.
Manluo and Xiyan are both stunning beauties in the world.
Manluo is like a burning flame, and her every move is as seductive as fire and charming to the core.
Xiyan, on the other hand, was as cold as ice and never spoke a word to them on weekdays.
After working together for a long time, Han Xiao felt that he knew very little about her. She was like a book that could never be opened.
But in terms of appearance, in Han Xiao's heart, Xiyan is the most beautiful woman he has ever seen in his life.
Her beauty is cold and noble, like the bright moon in a cold night, emitting a charm that is hard to resist and yet dare not desecrate. However, beneath this alluring appearance, her heart seems to be frozen and difficult to touch.
"Xi Yan, the assassination attempt on Helian Feng failed this time. Did the prince punish you?" Han Xiao looked worried.
Xiyan pushed his hand away without leaving a trace, and her expression quickly returned to its usual cold expression:
"You rewarded me with a Heart-burning Pill and blamed me for not doing my job well. I deserve this punishment."
Han Xiao's eyes trembled. How could he bear such a beautiful woman like Xiyan?
However, the prince has always been cold and ruthless to his assassins. If he wants to punish someone, that will not be changed. Asking for mercy will only increase her punishment.
Han Xiao couldn't help but clench his fists, a hint of viciousness in his eyes:
"It seems there must be a traitor within our Regent's Palace, and someone must have revealed your whereabouts. Otherwise, how could I have personally witnessed Helian Feng leave the palace and board the carriage before sending you the information? How could it have been so late that he had left and the carriage was empty when we reached the West Col?"
"Perhaps there's a traitor. Or perhaps Helian Feng is being cautious! In that case, I'd beg you to investigate."
Han Xiao nodded:
"Xiyan, don't worry. Even if the prince refuses to confess, I will investigate thoroughly and will never tolerate any treacherous behavior!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure in purple clothes flashed out from behind the moon-shaped gate. Even before the person arrived, a sweet smile could be heard.
The two turned their heads and saw that the person coming was Zisha Manluo.
But she had a graceful figure, a beautiful face, and charming and seductive eyes that were slightly upturned. Under the moonlight, she looked even more alluring. Her beautiful eyes were filled with a thousand layers of murderous intent, bright and dangerous.
She moved lightly, and in a moment she was close to them, with a playful look on her face:
"Han Xiao, you look so nervous. Are you worried about your sister Xiyan? You are usually so cold when you talk to me, but you care about others!"
Han Xiao's face was slightly embarrassed, and his expression instantly turned cold:
"Manluo, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"Oh, are you angry and embarrassed because I hit the nail on the head?" Manluo smiled while covering her lips.
"you……!"
Xiyan frowned slightly and interrupted their conversation:
"Manluo, the prince has ordered you to stand guard in his inner chamber tonight."
After saying this, he turned and left without further ado. His back revealed his usual aloofness and indifference, and he soon disappeared at the end of the moonlit corridor.
"Alright, the person is gone, has your soul gone with him? Stop craning your neck to look!"
Manluo stretched out her soft little hand and waved it in front of Han Xiao.
Han Xiao retracted his gaze and glared at Man Luo fiercely:
"Why aren't you even a bit more reserved than Xiyan?"
Manluo smiled charmingly, full of charm:
"She's as cold as a piece of wood. How can there be any interest in her? There are so many beauties in this world. I advise you not to get too obsessed with her, or you'll end up with nothing!"
After saying this, before Han Xiao could react, a fragrant breeze drifted into the inner hall.
