Chapter 368: Ambushed
# 368. Ambushed
“First, we need to analyse the motive behind the act—or more precisely, the objective of the perpetrator.”
Speaking of matters within his area of expertise, Xu Qi’an elaborated fluently: “The man claiming to be the Administrator of Chuzhou fled the city and has been covertly organising people ever since, attempting to expose what happened.
“When his attempts to deliver information failed, he remained undeterred. Your appearance, however, gave him hope. He likely sees Lady Flying Swallow as a reliable, noble heroine, prompting him to reach out.”
Li Miaozhen snapped, “Get to the point. Why flatter me?”
Xu Qi’an shook his head, his expression utterly sincere. “I’m not flattering you. Lady Flying Swallow is the most admirable hero I know.”
Li Miaozhen snorted disdainfully.
From the side, Susu glanced at Xu Qi’an, thinking to herself that this man certainly knew how to charm women. Since her master descended the mountain for training, her proudest accomplishment had been earning the title “Lady Flying Swallow.”
Although Li Miaozhen feigned indifference, Susu knew Xu Qi’an’s words had struck a chord.
