Chapter 369 Wuli Uncle is Very Tsundere 19_1

The man looked at Baili Xia, and she immediately understood his intent.

She stood up, glanced at the man, and then at the silver lock chain in her hand, hesitation written on her face.

At the end of the chain were deadly barbs, which could easily hurt her if she wasn't used to handling it.

Those tiny spikes may seem innocent, but they were capable of tearing flesh until it turned inside out.

Suddenly, the man took two steps towards her.

This time, Baili Xia didn't dodge. She seized the opportunity to close in and try to catch his scent.

Unfortunately, she was disappointed—he reeked of medicine.

It was an obvious ruse—he'd intentionally wrapped himself in a medicinal smell to conceal his true scent.

Given this, he must be someone she knew.

Her eldest brother? Her second brother? Or perhaps the Night Shadow?

Ye Hua was unlikely, as he was busy serving Uncle at all times.

Helping her while not wishing her to know his identity... was it because of arrogance, or something else?
