Lin Aoshan, upon hearing this, gazed intently at Li Xian, thinking this Military Officer was meticulous, cautious, clever, and thorough in his actions. Truly impressive.
The previous incident, she would never have thought of.
"Without his reminder, I might have already exposed my identity. By then... the Flower Cage Sect would have turned the tables and captured me. Wouldn't that be a completely baffling loss?"
A cold sweat arose, like being drenched in ice water.
It was noon, and still early. Li Xian found a restaurant, ordered two servings of tea snacks, a plate of seeds, and a dish of pastries. He sat quietly to pass the time.
Lin Aoshan pinched a pastry with two fingers, placed it in her mouth. The pastry was aromatic and sweet, but not to her taste, so she stopped after one bite and shifted to cracking seeds.
Feeling bored, she curiously observed Li Xian, her gaze moving from top to bottom, then bottom to top.
