Female lead: No, it's me again??

Chapter 397 Killer

She hid the hand holding the wine glass behind her back.

Feng Siyue seemed to see through her little tricks. "It's okay, you can drink it. Anyway, what's in front of you isn't alcohol."

Cang Li's lips twitched, and she sat down defiantly. "I knew it was you who did this. Why would you need water for such a delicious meal?"

Feng Siyue came over and sat down helplessly. "You need to take good care of your health and avoid spicy food."

Cang Li's back hunched over instantly as he complained.

"A big meal means eating all the good food. Spicy food won't kill me."

Feng Siyue fell silent.

Yan Nanfei sensed that the atmosphere inside the room was starting to change.

She spoke.

"After today, there will only be more than eighty people left."

"We were lucky before and didn't encounter any difficult opponents, but starting tomorrow, we'll be facing mostly geniuses from various sects and academies. We need to be careful."

Feng Siyue nodded and responded 'appropriately'.

"The opponents after tomorrow are indeed difficult to deal with. Apart from Qingli Academy and Royal Academy, most of the remaining academy disciples have already been eliminated by the sect disciples."

"We will play according to our abilities in the upcoming matches."

The voice just fell,

"Boom!"

Outside the window, a bolt of lightning ripped across the sky!

The sudden clap of thunder startled Cang Li. She clutched her chest and complained, "Can't you give me a warning before thunder? It's so easy for me to have a seizure!"

Feng Siyue patted her shoulder reassuringly.

Are you feeling alright anywhere?

Cang Li shook his head, "It's alright."

Seeing that she didn't seem to be in any discomfort, Feng Siyue glanced at the gloomy weather outside the window and said, "It looks like it's going to rain. Let's finish our meal early and go back to rest."

Cang Li and the other person had no objections.

Around noon, a light drizzle began to fall.

The alleyway just one street away from Qingli Academy is not very peaceful.

Feng Siyue looked at the four men in black in front of her, her expression unchanged.

"Who sent you?"

The man in black didn't say anything, but instead drew his knife and attacked the three of them!

Yan Nanfei drew her sword and stepped forward, facing the three men with ease. She used her shoulder-stepping technique to perform a backflip and deliver a powerful kick to the shoulders of two of them!

The other men in black weren't idle either; they rushed towards Feng Siyue and the other man.

Feng Siyue stood in front of Cang Li, her slightly cool gaze lifting as she moved like a ghost among the three, leaving people stunned wherever she went.

Yan Nanfei, long sword in hand, stood before the man's neck; the raindrops sliding down the blade were as cold as her voice.

"Did not say?"

"I know even without you saying it, it's Mei Fang, isn't it?"

The only assassin still awake stared blankly for a moment, then sneered, "Mei Fang? Who does she think she is?"

"Luo Feishuang, we failed you today because we misjudged people, but next time, you won't be so lucky."

I thought they were just a few young girls, but their fighting ability was nothing like that of inexperienced girls. They were more like people who often lived on the edge of a knife!

"It seems that's it."

"Since you are Mei Fang's person, then my killing was not unjust!"

Yan Nanfei coldly raised his knife and, without hesitation, slit the throats of several people.

After killing the person, she turned her head.

"Master, what should we do with these corpses?"

Feng Siyue stepped forward and pulled off their masks. "Let's check if they have anything unusual on them."

Yan Nanfei nodded, "Okay."

A short while later, Yan Nanfei shook his head.

Feng Siyue didn't get anything either. She lightly tapped their shoulders with her index finger, and the next second, one of them was suddenly engulfed by the blue flames, leaving nothing behind.

She did the same thing.

Yan Nanfei was somewhat surprised, "Master, what's wrong with you...?"

Alien fire?

Feng Siyue explained calmly, "The simplest way to kill someone is to leave no clues and set the place on fire."

"understood."

In the end, none of the four left behind even ashes.

Feng Siyue got up.

“These people have no waist tags, rings or anything that can prove their identity. Even the fingerprints on their fingers have been erased. Their clothes are ordinary... They may not be Mei Fang’s people.”

Yan Nanfei was slightly taken aback. "Master, do you mean they want to shift the blame?"

Feng Siyue nodded.

"We can't rule out that these people might be assassins, or others sent to probe our strength."

"Killer?"

Cang Li, standing to the side, yawned.

"So weak? That can't be right."

Assassins, wouldn't it be easy for them to kill them?

Feng Siyue chimed in, “Indeed, compared to assassins, they are more like personal confidants.”

In short, be more careful in the future.

Yan Nanfei nodded, "Mm."

At 1:15 noon, Haotian Restaurant.

Yu Qing stood by the window, looking down at the street below, her expression shifting, seemingly lost in thought.

Nangong Xiaoyi stood aside, deep in thought, and said, "Mentor, given Ami's current condition, is there a better way?"

The air was quiet for a while.

Yu Qing began, "There are very few records of the Ghostly Demon in the court; a few words are insufficient to uncover more..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but Nangong Xiaoyi understood what he meant.

No.

"What if we awaken Ami's bloodline?"

Qinghe, who was in the corner, suddenly spoke up.

Yu Qing also shook her head in rejection, "That's the worst possible solution. Ami is not yet seventeen. Activating her bloodline prematurely would not do her any good and could even cost her her life. It's absolutely not advisable."

With neither approach working, Qinghe couldn't help but feel anxious. "But the wounds inflicted by the ghostly demon are too destructive; ordinary objects simply cannot repair them. If this continues..."

When Qinghe thought of that word, his lips moved a few times, but he couldn't bring himself to say it.

Finally, he lowered his eyes.

"What should we do then?"
