After her transformation and rebirth, she manipulates the innocent and ruthless to overthrow the wor

In the long corridor, the warmth of a broken body could be felt from time to time in my hand, strangely warming my heart and completely dispelling any sense of coldness or fear.

Walking along the corridor, you reach a very spacious courtyard. Inside, a faint fire flickers, the doors are wide open, and a woman stands quietly in the doorway.

She was dressed in dark clothes and her face was covered by a mask, with only a pair of dark eyes gazing silently at the person who had just arrived.

"please."

The voice was deep and steady, revealing no emotional fluctuations.

Xiao Ran was about to move forward, but Duan Li placed her behind him in a protective posture.

He sensed danger emanating from the woman in black.

They approached slowly, step by step. The woman in black remained motionless, like a statue. Seeing this, Xiao Ran breathed a slight sigh of relief and mustered her courage to continue walking forward.

Upon reaching the door, Duanli gestured for Xiao Ran to step inside first, while he followed behind her, carefully examining everything around him, not overlooking any potential danger.

Fortunately, the surroundings were quiet and still. The woman in black simply stood silently in the depths of darkness, as if she had become one with the darkness, without making the slightest move.

After Xiao Ran entered the room, she turned to look at Duan Li, her eyes full of tenderness. She gently raised her hand, ready to welcome him in.

Unexpectedly, a sudden loud "bang" shattered the tranquility.

The door slammed shut.

As he was severed from his body, he felt a chill creeping up his back like a snake. He moved with lightning speed and instinctively dodged to the side.

Where his eyes fell, a gleaming dagger was stuck straight in the spot where he had just stood, its sharp blade flashing with a chilling light in the dim light.

Xiao Ran heard the loud noise clearly from inside the house. Her heart clenched, and in her anxiety, she pounded on the door with all her might.

"Danli! What's happening outside?"

However, she was met with only deathly silence, followed by the chilling clash of swords, the sharp, piercing sounds that seemed to pierce the door like arrows and go straight into Xiao Ran's heart.

Just then, a soft male voice came from behind her.

"Miss Xiao, why don't we sit down and enjoy this good show?"

Xiao Ran turned around and saw a man wearing a silver mask slowly walking out from behind the curtains in the room. He was dressed in a moon-white robe, like a bright pearl in the dark room.

She understood that the person in front of her was Su Ci, the master of Wangyue Tower.

"Lord, please let me out." Her eyes were wide open, and her tone was extremely unfriendly.

Su Ci simply walked to the small table by the window, sat down, and slowly opened the window.

"You look just like that cat with its fur standing on end in my building." He said with a smile, completely unconcerned about Xiao Ran's feelings, and continued, "However, that cat isn't as cute as Miss Xiao looks now."

Xiao Ran ignored his teasing words and hurriedly walked to the small table to sit down, looking out the window.

Duan Li was currently fighting with the woman in black outside the house. Xiao Ran could see that every step the woman in black took was a potentially fatal move, but Duan Li didn't seem to want to hurt her.

If things continue like this, severing ties will definitely become a poor strategy.

She looked out the window, wondering if jumping out to help Duanli was a viable option.

The sound of flowing water reached her ears as Su Ci leisurely poured tea.

"I advise the young lady not to act rashly."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't know whether the girl's sweetheart would be able to leave here alive."

As soon as she finished speaking, a cup of tea was calmly "tossed" on the windowsill, and Xiao Ran saw her reflection in the tea.

Nothing unexpected happened.
