Chu Li arrived at the Tianshu Courtyard and entered the house.
There was only Xiao Shi alone in the brightly illuminated house, Yang Xu was in the adjacent house caring for Xue Ling.
Xiao Shi was reclining on the couch reading a book, her brocade covering her well-endowed curves. Her expression was indolent, her face delicate and charming.
"Did you kill that person?" Xiao Shi put down the book and asked lazily.
Chu Li had already predicted that a High Official from the Imperial House would come here to assassinate him and had told Xiao Shi in advance.
Xiao Shi was not worried, but instead curious if Chu Li would kill Zhang Ci.
Chu Li shook his head. "I did not manage to."
"He escaped?" exclaimed Xiao Shi.
Chu Li nodded his head and said, "The secret skill of the Amethyst Mountain is amazing, I could not catch up! … He is from the Imperial House, but I cannot go there to kill him, I'm afraid the Emperor will not allow it!"
