Chapter 43: Swift and Ruthless
Zhang Zhiliang nodded. “That’s a wise idea, Junior Sister. Let’s go.”
Using the shadows of the night, the two quietly descended from the rooftop into the courtyard, planning to slip away through side streets and avoid becoming crossbow fodder. After all, no ordinary martial artist could contend with military weapons on the battlefield.
But just as the two black-clad figures, with their faces covered except for their eyes and brows, turned to leave... They suddenly saw a tall, handsome young Daoist standing silently in their path.
They both froze in shock. When had this person appeared in the courtyard?!
The young Daoist smiled at them warmly. “What are you two doing, sneaking around on my rooftop this late at night? Flirting?”
The pair had already been reaching into their robes, ready to pull out daggers and kill to silence. But at his words, their hands involuntarily stiffened. They glanced at each other, thrown off by his bizarre tone.
What is this guy talking about?!
But Zhang Zhiliang's expression hardened. He didn’t care whether this Daoist was acting dumb or being clever, their mission tonight for the gang could not be exposed. No matter what, this young Daoist had to die.

The two of them had been operating undercover lately, on a covert mission for their gang, hiding among the common folk. Though they had heard that Wei City was now home to masters like Li Yanchu and Bai Hongtu, they never imagined that one of them would be this young man standing right before them.
