Chapter 84: Unraveling the Cocoon

Lingxiao saw Xiangning sitting there, her soul seemingly not in her body, and comforted her, "You don't need to worry; I'll handle this matter."

Coming back to her senses, Xiangning lifted her eyes to look at the man in front of her, gentle as water.

She suddenly remembered that after he returned from the Borderlands in her previous life, there seemed to be no news of him. Could it be that he died from an assassination attempt like the one yesterday?

She tensely asked, "Have you found out who tried to kill you yesterday?"

Lingxiao pressed his lips together and said, "I'm still investigating."

"You don't need to get involved with the marriage arrangement with the Gu Family; I'll figure out a way on my own," Xiangning softly said. "If I truly cannot resolve it in the end, I will let you know."

"This is a matter concerning both of us," Lingxiao said solemnly. "Not just you alone."
