If not for Lin Xiao...
Perhaps she would have disfigured herself at the wedding that day, ending everything.
But at that time, she and Xun’er would have meant nothing to the Luo family.
Grandpa hadn’t woken up, and their family would have had nothing.
"Lin Xiao... he is the most outstanding person I have ever met." Nangong Wushuang's evaluation was from the heart. Of course, this was after she had lowered her standards several times. Lin Xiao could no longer be described as merely outstanding.
He was a pure prodigy.
A living person with the script of a television drama protagonist.
"That's for sure."
Speaking of Lin Xiao, Luo Qinghan was also very proud.
Xun'er, by her side, also proudly waved her little fist, "Daddy is the most powerful person in the world!"
"..."
Nangong Wushuang shook her head. She envied Lin Xiao, yet dared not envy him...
After all, everything Lin Xiao had now was almost exchanged for the lives of his entire family.
She didn’t want such an experience.
Of course, she didn't dare to say such a thing out loud; she would die.
"Someone."
Suddenly, all her muscles tensed.
She felt an indescribable sense of crisis. She was being locked onto.
She didn't know who was locking onto her, nor even the specific direction.
What was going on?
Who was this person? How had they gotten inside, bypassing so many sentries outside?
Luo Qinghan also froze for a moment. She then looked in a certain direction, feeling something over there. She pointed, "Miss Nangong, over there."
"Okay!"
Without any hesitation, Nangong Wushuang shot out a blast of true qi.
At this, the feeling of being locked onto disappeared.
She looked at Luo Qinghan in surprise. How did she know?
"Be careful! Behind you!"
Luo Qinghan shouted and instinctively pushed Nangong Wushuang aside!
A shadowy, chilling figure swept past the spot where Nangong Wushuang had just stood.
Had Luo Qinghan been even a fraction of a second slower, Nangong Wushuang would have surely been pierced by that shadow.
"What is that thing..."
Nangong Wushuang watched the black shadow vanish instantly. She had never seen such a thing, nor had her knowledge base mentioned it. It was like a mere shadow... but she was certain that she had seen a blade flash from within that shadow just now.
The edge of the blade had been less than an inch from her body.
What kind of being was hiding within the shadow?
"What a strange doll..."
A voice, neither male nor female, echoed in the room.
Hearing it, Nangong Wushuang's body trembled. It was too chilling.
It was as if the voice itself carried a cooling effect. The room had been comfortably warm, but after the voice rang out, the temperature dropped by at least five degrees.
"There's a bad guy!"
Xun'er suddenly pointed in a direction and then seemed to throw something.
That was...
Externalization of true qi?!
No...
Nangong Wushuang was certain this was not true qi. This was far more advanced!
This...
She stared at Xun'er in horror. This was a four-year-old girl?
How could she have externalized true qi? No... this must be the legendary spiritual power externalization!
Wasn't that something only rumored to be achievable by experts at the Divine Realm?
She was just a little girl!
"A peculiar little girl."
The voice also let out a surprised hum, clearly taken aback.
