Foolish woman

Huang Zhiping breathed a sigh of relief but couldn't help feeling nervous as he watched Baili Hongzhuang's sword swaying casually. If Baili Hongzhuang were to forget and make a move, his life would be over.

His gaze shifted, and Baili Hongzhuang's eyes landed on Dongfang Yu and Gong Shaoqing not far away. She had noticed the bandit leader's surrender earlier, and it was within her expectations considering the strength of Dongfang Yu and Gong Shaoqing.

However, it was strange that they hadn't interrupted the situation all this time but let the other bandits continue to deal with the lackeys.

Feeling Baili Hongzhuang's gaze, Dongfang Yu smiled and nodded at her. Seeing this, Baili Hongzhuang also nodded.

Regardless of whether the other party was just here to watch a good show, at least they had no ill intentions. And for her, that was enough.

In the blink of an eye, several bodies lay on the ground. Some were bandits, and some were lackeys.

When the other bandits saw their comrades being killed by this group of interlopers, a surge of anger rose within them, and they immediately charged forward.

The lackeys were already exhausted, and faced with this continued onslaught, they were overwhelmed with powerlessness.

In the end, they all perished under the bandits' attacks.

At that moment, the bandit leader gave the order, "Let's go!"

The bandits on this side finally noticed the commotion not far away. They had been so consumed by their own rage that they hadn't paid attention to what was happening on the other side.

Although they didn't understand what had happened, since their leader had already given the order, they could only quickly follow suit.

As the bandits swiftly left, Baili Hongzhuang's gaze shifted to Huang Zhiqing.

"It seems your lackeys weren't very useful," Baili Hongzhuang chuckled.

Huang Zhiqing's expression turned extremely ugly, filled with deep regret. If he had known things would turn out like this, he would have preferred to stay home and sulk. Now, he feared he couldn't even preserve his own life.

"Please spare me, skilled one! I won't dare anymore!" Huang Zhiping pleaded incessantly. "As long as you spare me, I can give you all my wealth."

Baili Hongzhuang's eyebrows arched, her indifferent expression showing no emotional change. She had no interest in Huang Zhiqing's wealth. A person like him should have gone to hell a long time ago!

However, before Baili Hongzhuang could make a move, a flying knife suddenly pierced through the air and directly stabbed into Huang Zhiqing's heart with remarkable accuracy.

Huang Zhiqing widened his eyes, barely able to believe that his life was ending like this, and by the hands of a stranger.

"Nuisance!" a cold and impatient voice suddenly rang out. It turned out this person had put an end to Huang Zhiping's life simply because he found him annoying.

Unfortunately, Huang Zhiping didn't hear those words; otherwise, he might have spewed out three liters of blood in astonishment.

Baili Hongzhuang's gaze fell on the black figure who had thrown the flying knife. This person was responsible for that.

"You foolish woman," Gong Shaoqing said coldly.

Baili Hongzhuang frowned as she looked at Gong Shaoqing, "Are you talking about me?"

Having lived for so many years in both her past and present life, no one had ever dared to call her foolish!

"Yeah," Gong Shaoqing replied in a monosyllabic tone, as if saying one more word would be a waste.

"You, sir, are really impolite," Baili Hongzhuang said coldly.

Dongfang Yu saw the sparks igniting between the two of them and quickly spoke up, "I am Dongfang Yu, and this is Gong Shaoqing. May I know the young lady's name?"
