I arranged a marriage for you, not made you invincible under a disguise.

The night was exceptionally quiet.

A thin figure stood in the darkness, like a ghost.

He remained motionless, emanating a strong smell of blood, and appeared to have deliberately blocked the car's path.

Shen Sixi walked over without changing her expression.

Only when I got closer could I see his face clearly.

"Little flower?"

The boy was covered in blood and looked so disheveled that Shen Sixi could hardly recognize him.

"Quickly...escape..."

"They... came to kill you..."

He finished speaking those two sentences with difficulty, and then, as if he could no longer hold on, he collapsed.

"Miss, shall we hurry?"

Only after seeing the person fall did the driver dare to stick his head out of the car window and tremblingly call out to Shen Sixi.

Shen Sixi's gaze fell on Xiaohua, her brows furrowed: "Don't leave yet, carry him to the car."

driver:……

Sitting in the car, Shen Sixi was giving Xiaohua acupuncture while pondering who had hurt her like this.

He is the most powerful assassin; theoretically, no one should be able to harm him.

Unless, of course, he himself was willing?

Shen Sixi put away the needles, and Xiaohua woke up.

When Xiaohua opened her eyes, she was still a little confused.

Upon recognizing Shen Sixi, he immediately forgot everything else: "Run! Heaven..."

Shen Sixi made a shushing gesture and then threw a needle at the driver in the front seat.

The driver was trembling as he cleaned the bloodstains from his hands when he was pricked by the needle and immediately passed out.

"Speak," Shen Sixi said, looking at Xiaohua.

"What happened? I asked you to be my mom's bodyguard, where did you go afterward? And why did you end up like this?" she asked, looking him up and down.

"I'm sorry." Xiaohua's lips moved, but she lowered her head.

Xiao Hua always keeps his promises. He had previously promised Shen Sixi to secretly protect Yan Qiufang, and he had no intention of going back on his word.

During this time, people from the Temple of Angels came to him, but he refused to come.

Until the temple master appeared.

Xiao Hua could refuse anyone, but he couldn't refuse the Palace Master. He followed the Palace Master back to the Angel Palace without saying a word.

Although Xiaohua followed the Palace Master, the Palace Master was still very unhappy, believing that Xiaohua had ulterior motives.

Xiaohua did not argue and voluntarily accepted the punishment.

His life was given to him by the Temple Lord, and he has an obligation to complete every task assigned to him by the Temple of Angels.

Now that the mission has failed, it's only right that I'm killed.

Only Zang Shiqi still calls him Captain, and sometimes he comes to see him, bringing him food and drink, and telling him about things outside.

Zang Shiqi is always rambling on and on:

"Those people really infuriate me! They used to call me 'Captain' all the time, but now none of them care about the past!"

"Actually, that's true. In our line of work, what's the point of talking about feelings? Sigh."

"Captain, I've always felt that you're not really suited for this line of work. Although you're undoubtedly number one on the leaderboard, you're too sentimental."

Everyone knows that Xiaohua could have avoided suffering here.

Xiao Hua rarely responded to Zang Shiqi's words.

Until one day, he heard Zang Shiqi say that the Temple of Angels wanted to kill Shen Sixi.

That day, Xiao Hua, still recovering from serious injuries, single-handedly fought her way out of the Angel Temple.

The people of the Angel Temple were then shocked to realize that even when the number one assassin was on the verge of death, he was still number one.

Xiao Hua didn't think too much about it; he just wanted to tell Shen Sixi.

Run away.

"So, if it weren't for tipping me off, you were planning to stay in the Angel Temple and be at everyone's mercy forever?" Shen Sixi asked Xiaohua, unable to understand.

Xiao Hua was stunned, not expecting Shen Sixi to focus on this.

Shouldn't she be more concerned about the fact that the Temple of Angels wants to kill her?

Most people would be terrified and run away with their tails between their legs if they heard they were about to be hunted down by the Temple of Angels.

Although he had long witnessed Shen Sixi's extraordinary nature and had anticipated that she wouldn't be frightened, her reaction was still too calm.

Xiao Hua tried to make Shen Sixi realize the seriousness of the problem: "This is not the time to talk about this. The Angel Palace has thousands of assassins who never fail in their missions..."

Xiao Hua looked a little disappointed at this point, because he had failed last time.

He damaged the reputation of the Temple of Angels.

Xiao Hua paused for a moment, then continued, "The Temple of Angels has sent many people to hunt you down. They outnumber you and you are no match for them."

Shen Sixi raised an eyebrow: "Really?"

Shen Sixi retorted, "How do you know I'm no match for them?"

Xiao Hua was about to reply when she watched as Shen Sixi rolled down the car window and casually tossed out a few silver needles.

Thump, thump.

In the darkness, several people hiding in the shadows fell one after another.

Xiao Hua's eyes widened in surprise; even he couldn't pinpoint the exact location of the people from the Angel Temple.

Shen Sixi pushed open the car door and got out calmly: "The last one, come out too. We didn't prick you because we didn't have enough needles."

Little A, who thought he was well hidden in the darkness, held his breath in surprise and uncertainty.

Shen Sixi said unhappily, "Come out, don't make me angry."

No one showed up; only Xiaohua managed to get out of the car.

Xiao Hua keenly looked around, her eyes locking onto a certain direction.

Xiao A had been on several missions with Xiao Hua before and knew that no one could hide anything from Xiao Hua's eyes, so she gritted her teeth and jumped out, heading straight for Shen Sixi.

He didn't want to fight Xiao Hua; he just wanted to get rid of Shen Sixi as quickly as possible.

Shen Sixi had her back to him, seemingly oblivious.

He smiled smugly, thinking he was about to succeed, but the next moment, Shen Sixi turned around nimbly and kicked him squarely in the face.

"what--"

Little A was kicked and thrown to the ground. When she tried to get up, Shen Sixi stepped on her chest.

Shen Sixi looked at him coldly: "I told you to come out obediently, but you didn't listen. You even tried to launch a sneak attack?"

Little A struggled: "Didn't you also ambush us?"

Upon inadvertently spotting Xiaohua, he burst into a tirade: "Traitor! The Palace Master will not let you get away with this!"

Xiaohua pursed her lips.

Shen Sixi pounded on Xiao A a few more times and said to Xiao Hua, "Xiao Hua, tie those people up. There are ropes in the car."

Xiaohua responded and walked away without looking back.

Watching Xiao Hua walk away, Shen Sixi's gaze returned to Xiao A.

Shen Sixi: "What's your name?"

Little A remained silent.

Shen Sixi: "You're not going to say anything, are you?"

Shen Sixi searched Xiao A's body and found a dagger, then pointed the tip at his neck.

"I'll tell you everything," A said, finally panicking.

Shen Sixi: "Why did you kill me?"

A: "I don't know."

"Still not behaving yourself, huh?" Shen Sixi pushed the dagger in a little further.

A: "I don't know! I really don't know! I'm just carrying out a mission; the higher-ups won't tell us much!"

Shen Sixi could tell he wasn't lying, so she withdrew the dagger slightly.

Before Little A could even breathe a sigh of relief, Shen Sixi asked again, "Where is the Temple of Angels?"

Little A looked frightened: "Why are you asking this?"

Shen Sixi said impatiently, "Are you going to ask me now, or should I ask you?"

"I won't tell! I'd rather die than tell!"

"You won't tell? That's fine." Shen Sixi pressed his pressure point.

In the dead of night, in the desolate wilderness, only the incessant screams of a man could be heard.

Soon.

Little A: "I'll tell you everything! I'll tell you everything!"

Five minutes later, Xiaohua finished tying up the person and came over to find Shen Sixi.

Shen Sixi glanced at him, then dropped the dagger: "Tie this one up too."

Xiao Hua tied up Xiao A as well and asked Shen Sixi what to do next.

Shen Sixi: "Let's just leave it here and go."

Xiaohua hesitated for a moment, then shook her head: "I can't go with you, I have to go back."

Now that the news had reached him, he had no reason to continue following Shen Sixi.

Shen Sixi: "We're going the same way."

Under Xiaohua's shocked gaze, she gave the address of the Temple of Angels.

Shen Sixi smiled gently: "You're going here, right? What a coincidence, me too."
