Chapter 1040

When is a knife most terrifying?

It's not when it's drawn and slicing through your throat, but when it's pressing against you, unsheathed yet unreleased. Because you don't know when it will fall, it feels as though it could at any moment.

Now, Li Xingzai was troubled by this very point, anxious all day long, fearing that Cheng Dalei would suddenly appear to claim his life.

Li Xingzai had completely lost track of Cheng Dalei's whereabouts. Despite sending out many people, even having quite a few risk their lives to infiltrate Liangzhou for information, they still came back empty-handed.

Because he did not know where the other was, it was as if he was everywhere.

Li Xingzai could not sleep in peace or taste food, all because of this. No one knew whether Cheng Dalei had already infiltrated Chang'an City, his knife being whetted in secret, looking for an opportunity to strike.
