Flower Thief (X)

It all happened in a split second. Before the crowd could come out of their stupor, they were plunged into another bout of chaos.

"Someone has died!" an unknown person yelled and the gathering crowd took a step back, forming a large circle.

"What are you yelling about? Can't you see no one died!" Jiang Pengji yelled and the crowd parted to let her through.

The maid came to her senses. She felt a strong push and landed in a thin, yet strong, embrace. Her heart nearly stopped beating from fright.

She shyly lifted her head and had a good look at Jiang Pengji's face. From her angle, Jiang Pengji had refined features that were almost like a lady's… The maid came out of her stupor and quickly flew away from Jiang Pengji.

"Thank you for saving me," she said quietly.

"It's good that you're all right. Go take a rest with the others. It's best that you forget what had happened tonight."

Jiang Pengji coldly looked at the "servant" clutching their bleeding neck on the floor.
