The mask was lifted.
A chilling face appeared before Mu Chenshuang.
That one glance made Mu Chenshuang freeze, her eyes widening in disbelief as she stared at him.
The man sat up straight, seemingly unaffected by Mu Chenshuang's acupoint strike.
"you……"
Mu Chenshuang stared at him; she had clearly struck his pressure points.
The man reached out and took the mask from Mu Chenshuang's hand, putting it on his face. However, because his head was completely covered by black silk, not a single hair could be seen.
"I saw it!"
The man's deep, weathered voice resonated perfectly with his eerie face.
Mu Chenshuang snapped out of her daze and lowered her eyes slightly. "This isn't your true self, is it?"
The man didn't answer Mu Chenshuang's question. He stood up, hands behind his back, and said, "Go and rest! Stop struggling!"
After the man finished speaking, he strode forward, sat back down behind the screen, and continued reading his book as if nothing had happened.
Mu Chenshuang stared at him with narrowed eyes.
When she first saw him, she was indeed frightened. An ordinary person would not have been able to tell the difference, but how could it have escaped her eyes? That was not a human face at all; there was another mask behind that mask.
It seems that directly revealing his true colors won't be so easy.
Mu Chenshuang simply lay down to rest.
But with this man here, she couldn't fall asleep peacefully, though she could clearly smell the calming incense burning in the room.
During the three hours she remained awake, she heard no sound from inside the room. He made no attempt to approach her and even went out for a while, not returning for a long time. Gradually, she relaxed her guard and fell asleep without realizing it.
It was still dark.
The man sealed Mu Chenshuang's acupoints, preparing to send her back.
Back at the Marquis's residence.
He arrived at Mu Chenshuang's room quietly and carefully put her down, but the moment he put her down...
A chilling killing intent swept over.
The man's eyes sharpened, and he turned to the side to retaliate against the attacker. After three rounds, neither of them had the upper hand, and the two retreated to a distance of three meters to confront each other.
Shen Nanzhi stood blocking the edge of the bed, his fierce eyes fixed on the man before him, and demanded, "Who are you?"
The man clearly had no intention of answering Shen Nanzhi. He walked straight out of the house, but as soon as he stepped out, he saw Qi Ye holding a sword and blocking his way. Shen Nanzhi quietly walked behind him, and he was now completely caught in the middle.
"I'd like to see who's behind that mask!"
After Shen Nan finished speaking with a strong and assertive tone, he gathered power in his hand and attacked the man.
Qi Ye coordinated with Shen Nanzhi's offensive, launching a fierce attack on him.
Faced with the simultaneous attacks of the two, the man calmly responded. Compared to Qi Ye, Shen Nanzhi's skill was not to be underestimated. After several rounds, although Shen Nanzhi and Qi Ye had not injured him in the slightest, he only defended and did not take the initiative to attack.
The man didn't linger. As he jumped onto the roof, he left behind only one extremely arrogant statement: "That's enough for today!"
After saying that.
The man disappeared on the rooftop. Shen Nanzhi quickly chased after him to check, but there was no trace of him. His presence was as fleeting as the wind, as if he had never been there at all.
In this capital city, it's hard to find a third person with such extraordinary martial arts skills and speed.
Who exactly is he?
Shen Nanzhi clenched his fists, his lowered eyes filled with unease and fierceness.
