44 Who are you?

Gao Lan Mei prefered to fight where she could see clearly. For her, who do not have any spiritual energy, it would be a challenge to hit accurately otherwise. 'Atleast Yen Mingjue's pawn was helpful to only distract. Should be better if it successfully bit the intruder.' 

After he was pushed out of the room and fell to the ground, the assassin immediately stood up, both hands held long knives ready to defend or attack.

"I doubt you're alone." The young miss of the Gao Manor, Gao Lan Mei. 

The intruder was completely aware of who the woman in front of him should have been, but it had never been mentioned in the information that they had, that she could fight!

He did not feel any cultivation spirit coming from her but despite that, there was not even an ounce of fear coming off as well.

She was holding a folded wooden umbrella. A small snakehead peaked out of her right sleeve.

Anxiously thought, 'Did she used that to attack me earlier?' He was not able to completely block her attacks. If her weapon had been a sword or anything sharper, he would have already become bloody by now.

The young woman's face was scarred. The lanterns were bright enough to clearly see the multiple scars on her face. Her blue nightgown hung low from her shoulders where marks of the scar could also be seen.

If not for the current situation, he might have considered being interested about her, despite her current appearance. For him, a woman who carried herself with confidence had a very strong appeal.

The young woman could have been one of the most beautiful women he had seen, if not with the scars that marred the enchanting face.

All the information that they had said that she was heavily injured right now. There was no need to mention the injury, the only child of the minister should have been a waste with only a pretty face.

"Who are you?" The assassin could not help but ask. Did they get the wrong place and mistakenly offend an expert?

Gao Lan Mei smiled mockingly, "You interrupted my sleep, tried to kill me and you are now asking me who I am?" If this intruder had mistakenly attacked her, how stupid was that?

She was attacked by this man with the intention to kill. The full black robe, as well as the black cloth that covered his face, confirmed that he was a hired killer.

Glaring at the assassin, "If you attacked me by mistake, I will give you the honor to commit suicide!" No need to ask, there was no doubt that the target was her, but no enemies of her were aware that the previous Gao Lan Mei was already dead.

The mortals who hated Gao Lan Mei just because she was still breathing, could not really sleep soundly as long as she was still alive!

In a better position to attack, she lifted the umbrella and desperately struck with the intent to kill.

The umbrella might not slice but she could always use the tip to hit the vital points to eventually show devastating results.

With every blow and the assistance given by the snake who sneakily attacked when there was a chance, the assassin was pushed back.

He knew that the remaining two were still hidden, looking for a chance to ambush. The surprise of her attacks could not last long, he could see that she started to become exhausted.

Since he was only fighting a young woman who did not have spiritual energy, there was no need for them to help.

Patiently waiting for her to waiver, at the moment Gao Lan Mei slipped unintentionally, missing her target point, he immediately took advantage and counter-attacked to plunge the knife into her dainty neck.
