As Baili Su spoke, Gu Qianying's delicate brows furrowed slightly.
At this moment, the surrounding assassins in black had already surrounded her.
Each assassin held a long sword in their hand.
"Qianying, be careful."
One of the assassins swung his sword towards Gu Qianying.

Her fingers were stained with blood, though she hadn't noticed.
Baili Su saw it and proactively offered a handkerchief.
Gu Qianying took it and wiped her fingers.
As he handed her the handkerchief, Baili Su said, "Although Han Chenglin hasn't shown himself in
