Everyone around her took a step back in unison; no one wanted to help her up, not even her beloved grandson, Lin Yaozu.
Xu Jinhuan walked to Madam Lin's side with a smile, seemingly reaching into his sleeve, but actually taking out a sharp dagger from his spatial storage.
She held the dagger in her hand to Old Madam Lin's lips a few times, as if studying something, before slowly and deliberately making her move, beginning to cut Old Madam Lin's lips little by little.
