Long'An: Xiao Fang

The assassin leader tried to pierce his sword to the woman's direction, but Lin Jian deflected it easily. However, the tip of the sword managed to fling the woman's veil away. The woman's eyes widened in surprise when she saw what happened in front of her. Her grip on her short sword tightened.

Did this man actually try to save her? She blinked her eyes in disbelief.

They just met but even a stranger was better than her own family. Her eyes slightly teared up in gratitude. She relaxed her hand and put the short sword back to its hiding place. She felt relieved because she didn't have to hurt other people.

The maidservant beside the woman frantically caught the fallen veil and quickly helped the woman put the veil back on. This time, she ties the veil tighter than before, so it wouldn't easily fall. The woman looked at the maidservant in gratitude. In her surprised state, she almost forgot about covering her face with her veil.
