The Motionless Shadow of Light

"Young fella, you can go, but you must leave your head."

A wildly patronizing voice rang throughout the air. Ling Xian stopped in his tracks and browsed around.

In the near distance, a young man in blue appeared in his path. The man looked to be around 20 years old and rather handsome. But his gaze was icy and deadly. He observed Ling Xian as if a hunted animal was awaiting his doom.

This man was a follower of the Third Prince, second son of the Deputy of Chang An, known in the area as "the Little Deputy". His father’s territory was located near Sunset City. Therefore, he arrived first on the scene as the news of Ling Xian’s deeds reached him. He had wanted to seize this opportunity to show his loyalty to the Prince.

Ling Xian had already left Sunset City before he managed to arrive. But fortunately, just as he was about to leave, Ling Xian returned a second time. The man thus followed him here to the Trade Convention and waited for the opportunity to ambush him.
