Seeing Du Mingxian's worried face, Ling Silang reached out and gently squeezed her hand to comfort her, his hand never stopping: "Don't worry, we're just little kids now, and our identities are fake. If anything happens, we can just escape."

Du Mingxian nodded. For now, this was the only option. What if it really was a capital offense... Oh well, let's take it one step at a time. Why think so much?

Because it was inconvenient to talk, the two exchanged information and then fell silent for a while.

"Don't worry, as long as we behave well, we can suggest to him that we live together. There shouldn't be any major problems."

"Okay, I miss you so much. I can't sleep well when you're not around."

"it is good."

Du Mingxian quietly put away the paper and pen she had taken out, and the two of them just sat there in the room. Soon, a man in black came over and said, "Time's up."

Du Mingxian felt like she was visiting someone in prison, but she was already very happy to see people.

After the meeting, she went back to training. Recently, they had indeed been trained to be assassins. At first, it was just physical training, but later the training included more and more items.

Even more... a large group of people, about a hundred in total, were selected from their previous numbers and taken to a new place to begin teaching martial arts.

Real martial arts.

Du Mingxian was very interested, especially when teaching light-body skills, she studied very hard.

The room they lived in was still the same large dormitory-style room, and there was still a single bed in the same room. Everyone would fight over this bed every time.

In order to sleep alone, Du Mingxian showed no mercy and hit the women who rushed at her.

Because of this... she became a lonely survivor in her small group of women, with no one willing to be with her. On the men's side, however, there was one who always stayed by her side, and that was Eighty-Four.

Eighty-four is a man who sees food as his mother. Although he is exhausted every day, he becomes incredibly energetic and practices like crazy whenever food is mentioned.

Someone who didn't seem like much managed to squeeze into the elite group from the crowd.

The training was tough, but the meals were plentiful with meat, vegetables, and eggs. However, as the year drew to a close, Du Mingxian was filled with a furious aura.

We are still far from the capital, and there's no way to escape. It will be difficult for my husband to participate in the imperial examination.

So after another training session, she found the man in black who had been leading them and made her request: "I want to see my husband."

The man in black had his face covered, making it impossible to discern his emotions. However, he clearly felt powerless in the face of Du Mingxian's request, saying, "You can only make requests if you can win."

"it is good."

Without any hesitation, Du Mingxian attacked the man in black. The two fought fiercely, neither giving an inch.

Having been an assassin in her past life and trained for several months, she now understands some martial arts techniques and fought fiercely against her opponent, managing not to suffer any losses for a time.

The man in black knew that Eighty-Three was the best among them, but he didn't expect that he would also have the ability to compete with him. He was quite happy, but in order to stimulate Du Mingxian's potential, he gritted his teeth and persevered, and directly knocked Du Mingxian down.

"You can keep trying. As long as you do well, I will definitely arrange for you to meet your husband."

Du Mingxian was very angry and thought she would sneak out again that night to look for him, starting with the place she had seen last time.

So after everyone fell asleep that night, she quietly went out. This time she tried to avoid them, but she was still stopped by men in black who told her to "go back."

"I won't go back unless you let me see anyone."

“If you disobey orders, there is no need for you to stay.” The man in black at this moment was clearly not the same one from during the day; he exuded murderous intent from the start, which angered Du Mingxian.

If her space had the ability to move, she would have gone to find Ling Silang long ago instead of wasting time with these people.

The two fought fiercely, neither gaining the upper hand, and in the end, they couldn't determine a winner, which also led to the appearance of several other men in black.

In the end, a skilled fighter intervened and stopped the two, saying, "Your husband is alright."

"I want to see him."

You can't see him yet.

Du Mingxian sensed that Ling Silang's condition was probably not good. "How can you guarantee that my husband will be alright?"

The man in black took out a letter from his pocket. "This is a letter he wrote to you before he left. You will understand after you read it."

Du Mingxian took the letter with suspicion in her eyes. When she saw the words on the envelope, she knew that it was written by Ling Silang and was his handwriting.

"If you have this, just bring it out sooner rather than later. Why wait until I make a move?"

"Come with me." The man in black led Du Mingxian forward, and then... locked her in a small dark room. "You can come out when you realize your mistake."

black?

This doesn't exist in Du Mingxian's place. There are walls on all four sides, with only a small door on one side, just big enough for one person to pass through. The door is made of some unknown material, and once closed, it doesn't let in any light at all.

If someone without cheat devices came in, they might actually be scared, even trembling with fear. The quiet environment with nothing around is enough to break down a person's mental defenses.

Du Mingxian, however, was different. She could see what these people wanted to do to her, so she simply flashed into her spatial dimension and watched the situation outside. If anyone came, she could go out in time.

Inside the space, she opened the letter left by Ling Silang.

The letter was simple, basically saying that Ling Silang was going to participate in the imperial examination and that she should study hard here, take good care of herself, and that they would see each other again in a while.

Ling Silang is going to participate in the imperial examination, and she has a feeling that this matter is not simple.

Ling Silang couldn't possibly have used his real identity to take the imperial examination, could there be something else going on?

She was locked up for a day when someone came over. She hurriedly left the space and obediently sat in the secret room.

The door opened. "Come out."

Du Mingxian hurriedly came out, behaving very obediently. The leader smiled with satisfaction at her behavior; no one had ever stayed in a secret room without going crazy.

Once inside the private room, an old woman was sitting. The man in black ordered her, "Show your face."

Du Mingxian hesitated for a moment, but finally showed her face. When the old woman saw the injury on her face, she looked at her with regret, "Such a beautiful face, it's such a pity that it's been injured."

The man in black didn't reply, but Du Mingxian was thinking that if she didn't get hurt, who knows what she might do next.

"Alright, go inside and take off your clothes."

"What are you doing?" she couldn't help but ask.

The old woman said impatiently, "Just take it off when I tell you to. Stop talking so much nonsense."

After hesitating, Du Mingxian went in without taking off her clothes and stood waiting. Soon, the old woman came in and looked at her with some disdain when she saw that she hadn't taken them off. "Show your shoulders."

Du Mingxian saw the dye placed to the side, hesitated for a moment, and then reached out to take off her clothes.
