This is the person whom the Pavilion Master wants him to protect. How could anything happen right under his nose?
As soon as he landed, he kicked the man flying. Then he looked at Cheng Xiaoxiao, who had big eyes open, her eyelashes blinking uncomfortably because of the blood splatter.
As long as she's alive, that's good. His heart finally settled back in place. Cheng Xiaoxiao's clothes were just a bit disheveled, the bloodstains on her chest should be the man's. She didn't cry out in pain or curse anyone, so she should be fine.
Leng Qi breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, a surge of anger rushed to his heart. Didn't he tell her to stay put? Who told her to disregard her own safety, taking risks for some unrelated people? Just about to say a few words... and he noticed Cheng Xiaoxiao's oddity.
She was still holding the weapon that killed the man, motionless, but her hands were trembling, her body stiff, and her eyes hollow.
