Chen Ping'an looked at the approaching girl. Her steps were light, and under the illumination of the lanterns hanging along the corridor, her fuzzy figure appeared much like a young milu trotting under the night sky.

Zhu Lu no longer appeared like a silent person who only spoke with her expressions. Instead, she seemed like a friendly neighborhood girl who always had a dazzling smile on her face.

Chen Ping'an could barely believe his eyes. He slowed down and stopped in his tracks, widening his eyes to gaze at the slightly unfamiliar face of the young girl.

Zhu Lu tugged her left hand out from behind her back and waved at Chen Ping'an, saying as she walked, "Chen Ping'an, regarding the things that happened in Go Table Mountain, my father wanted me to tell you..."

There were five paces between them, and the young girl who was at the peak stage of the Second Tier suddenly unleashed her strength and charged forward, arriving before Chen Ping'an in just two strides. They were almost face to face, and they could clearly see the expression on each other's faces. 

There was a complicated mix of savageness, rage, delight, and relief on the young girl's face, while there was only melancholy and intensity in the young boy's eyes. His gaze was as sharp and intense as a machete that had been sharpened by a Dragon Slaying Platform.

Zhu Lu's left hand was clenched into a fist as it viciously swung at Chen Ping'an's forehead. However, this was only a feint, and she had even slowed down the speed of her strike on purpose.

The true killing blow would come from her right hand. When she unleashed this lightning-quick attack, three razor-sharp bamboo skewers directly stabbed at the young boy's heart.

Just as the bamboo skewers were about to penetrate Chen Ping'an's chest, the young girl who had suddenly lunged forward to kill him finally finished her sentence in a timely manner, spitting, "Sorry!"

Did Zhu Lu still appear shy and friendly at this moment? No, there was only ruthlessness on her face.

However, shock quickly spread...
