Their sudden departure only confirmed that whoever sent them was not done with her yet.

Liang Bao knocked on the door again. "Jin'er? Is everything okay?"

Gu Jin answered and used her plant vines to unlock the door of her room,

"Come in."

Liang Bao stepped into the room, her expression immediately turning to one of concern as she scanned the room.

"What on earth happened here? It looks like a battlefield."

 Gu Jin waved her hand,

"Uh... just met with two very determined assassins. Nothing major."

Liang Bao's eyes widened.

"Nothing major? Jin'er, there are scorch marks on the ceiling, and—what is that? Poison vines wrapped around the chandelier?!"

Gu Jin glanced up, and sure enough, the vines were dangling from the chandelier, looking like an avant-garde piece of art.
