Chapter 70: Understanding

Lan Ming's question hit a sour spot in Xiao Lan's heart. She turned her gaze down as she gritted her teeth. She tried to find some words to counter her but she knew in her heart that Lan Ming was right.

She was afraid, and feared the consequences of her choice now. It wasn't her fault as she had seen everything she held dear crumble right in front of her eyes.

That had left a deep scar in her heart and even though Shen Yu had entered her life, bringing joy and hope, her scar didn't heal completely. In fact, it brought a lot of insecurities.

Because of Shen Yu, she was finally feeling the feeling of being loved. And because of that, she had even set her goal of revenge below Shen Yu in her priority. She didn't care anything about now but Shen Yu. However, that made many questions rise in her heart.

What if she lost him like she had lost everything? What if someone took advantage of his kindness? Would she be able to handle that? She didn't even want to think about these questions.

"Sister Lan, you should put your trust in Master like he has done. The reason he's giving so much power to us is probably because he wants to make sure we aren't harmed in any way."

Lan Ming sighed and said, clutching her chest.

"Although he didn't show it, I saw the look in his eyes when he had came to save me. I remember that look, that look of fear wasn't something I expected him to have. He was genuinely afraid of losing me, and he was angry for me. We are wrong in one thing. We put him on very high regards and I know he deserves it, but I think he's also new to emotions."

Xiao Lan felt herself shaking hearing Lan Ming's words. Each and every one of her words was digging deep in her heart. And suddenly, something changed in her as she thought.

Ying Yue narrowed her eyes as she began to contemplate something. She didn't speak for a while and simply sat on the ring's floor. Shen Yu also didn't disturb as he could see that she was very serious.

'Aye! My disciples are too talented. She really made a shadow step, huh.'

Shen Yu knew that Ying Yue previously didn't have such a good technique so that could only mean that she had made the technique in the short time they had met. And it might even be her first time using it and she was already this terrifying.

Finally, Ying Yue stood up and asked Shen Yu, instead of answering his question.

"Master, can I try one more time?"

"Sure, I'm already excited to see what new things you have."

Shen Yu chuckled and again got ready for the fight. As he faced Ying Yue, be carefully examined her and was surprised at something he had not noticed till now.

'I can't hear her footsteps. Now that I think about it, I have heard her footsteps only a few times. No wonder that organisation wanted to kill her. She's just too amazing. Heh, but she's my wife now.'

It was a very small thing that others didn't notice and even he had not. But it showed how terrifying assassin Ying Yue was. She was a reaper who would kill you and nobody would even notice.

After a few seconds, Ying Yue again disappeared from her spot.
