'What kind of assassination was this?' The assassins were left with no other choice. They surrounded Li Jiao Lei. Qi Sun quickly took out his sword and hide Li Jiao Lei behind him but…
"Get back in! I have no time to waste!"
"Young Miss Li Jia~"
"Get back in!" Qi Sun hesitated but before he could make a decision she pushed him into the carriage behind her.
The assassins were about to attack, but Li Jiao Lei had different plans. Li Jiao Lei directed her tied hands to the nearest assassin.
"If I'm going to die, could I at least have my last wish? I wish to know who sent you."
"!?!" Everyone was expecting the young miss to ask for her life, but here she was giving up so easily.
The assassins smiled, they didn't expect their work to be this easy but then they looked at her face, their smiles were reduced into long signs.
They didn't think much about her wish and naturally gave in, besides she was still going to die and at least they could sleep in peace.
'If she's going to die, she should at least know who wants her dead.'
"It is the eldest young master from the noble Hau family, Hau Luo!" The gang leader was straight-forward with his answer before continuing with their task.
The nearest assassin reached for the ropes at an immaculate speed, but before he could even touch the rope, he lost balance due to overpowering heat. He felt as though he was burning. That was because he was burning, in fact, every assassin was in flames. The flames were green; they look just like the flares in Li Jiao Lei's eyes.
Even the snow falling on them couldn't save them from the flames. They were done for! The ropes on Li Jiao Lei's hands changed into ashes.
Her hair and dress were flickering with the wind. She looked like a deity who crawled her way out of hell. Her eyes were burning with intense bitterness.
Qi Sun looked at the young miss he assumed he knew. The two attendants were on the edge of soaking themselves.
'This miss was no to be fooled with!' This was what the two servants thought.
"BOOM!"
There was a jolt that sent Qi Sun flying into the carriage.
Once the explosion ended, everything quietened.
Qi Sun looked at the two servants, then remembered Li Jiao Lei wasn't in the carriage! His heart started thumping faster. His facial expression was filled with panic and trepidation.
"Li Jiao Lei!" Qi Sun was the first to react. He stood up on his weak legs and leaped to the carriage opening.
Outside the carriage was a magnificent manor with a vast green field, there was a modest lotus pond to the left and an immense gate behind the carriage.
Li Jiao Lei was peacefully sitting on a comfortable chair with a teapot on the designer table and her teacup on her lips. Qi Sun was dumbfounded by what he saw. Were his eyes deceiving him? They were in the Li Major!
'How could this be?'
He looked at himself and was sure that he wasn't daydreaming, his clothes were sloppy and his hair was no longer in a neat bun but all over his face. The two servants were also bewildered as soon as they stared outside.
"Go back inside and get yourselves tidied up."
I feel sorry for Qi Sun. We must have gotten dark circles by going through this situation. Poor Qi Sun. I think he needs a wife. What do you think?
Honestly,
