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

It was a clear and melodious sound; how can one describe it?

Just like in this dark, hopeless prison, this voice is like a clear spring flowing, nourishing the heart and making people feel a faint but precious hope in despair.

Xiao Ran, however, seemed not to hear and continued walking forward.

"If you take another step forward, don't blame me for using my sword without any eyes."

"Is that so?" Xiao Ran chuckled, drew the dagger hidden in her waist and abdomen, and ran forward.

With a clang, swords clashed, the crisp sound echoing through the dimly lit prison.

Jiang Shaorong stumbled back a few steps, his eyes filled with astonishment. However, in an instant, taking advantage of Xiao Ran's momentary lapse in attention, he attempted to use the sword in his hand to lift her veil.

Xiao Ran couldn't help but sneer inwardly; he was still as keen on sneak attacks as ever.

In his past life, Jiang Shaorong's martial arts skills were all taught to him step by step by Xiao Ran. Although he often attacked from the shadows, Xiao Ran was always very tolerant of him.

Because she knew all too well that Jiang Shaorong could never compare to her in the slightest.

Moreover, he has absolutely no skills now.

Xiao Ran did not take any action, but simply let Jiang Shaorong lift a corner of the veil, which just happened to reveal her pair of dark and bright eyes like gemstones.

Jiang Shaorong was startled upon seeing this and quickly withdrew his hand. But at that moment, Xiao Ran flashed forward, closing in and holding a dagger to his neck.

"Jiang the Registrar is quite fierce. I was just lost, how did I provoke Jiang the Registrar to want to kill me?" Xiao Ran's words were full of provocation.

Jiang Shaorong remained silent for a long time, her eyes filled with an indescribable emotion.

"What are you doing!" Qi Sizhi shouted and rushed over.

A quarter of an hour passed, and seeing that Master Xiao had not come out for a long time, he assumed that "a certain master" was breaking into the prison, so he immediately led his men in to arrest him.

But to everyone's surprise, this was not a prison break, but a "kidnapping" of an important court official!

Xiao Ran released the dagger from his hand, put it back at his waist, and said slowly, "This great hero has no penchant for indiscriminate killing, Jiang Lushi, don't you agree?"

"Hmm," Jiang Shaorong replied, "Master Xiao simply got lost."

"Then why would he put a dagger to your neck?!" Qi Sizhi asked, full of suspicion.

"It's just a misunderstanding."

A misunderstanding? A misunderstanding that escalated to the point of drawing swords against each other?

He doesn't believe it!

"Alright, Master Xiao, it's time for visiting the prisoners. Come with me." Qi Sizhi coughed a few times, then turned to Jiang Shaorong beside him and said:

"You get out too! Zeng Jitian's case is still unresolved, and you're resorting to vigilante justice here. I know you're anxious to get to the bottom of this, but even the higher-ups can't do anything about it, so what can you do? Or do you think you're better than those people up there?"

Jiang Shaorong's face suddenly darkened.

Xiao Ran noticed this change, and she chuckled, her words tinged with a hint of teasing: "That's not necessarily true. Judging from Jiang Lushi's momentum, he might surpass you one day, Qi Sizhi."

Qi Sizhi's expression changed several times, but he finally urged them to leave quickly. However, Xiao Ran's words had planted a seed in his heart.

As soon as he stepped out of the prison gate, a group of people with guns surrounded him.

They looked as if they were criminals.

Qi Sizhi frowned, waved his hand, and said, "You can leave now, this is none of your business."

"That's probably impossible." Suddenly, a man in official robes stepped out from the crowd and said slowly:

"Chief Qi, Miss Xiao. The Junior Minister requests your presence."
