Chapter 854 - 895: Accident
Sophia’s identity had never been exposed to the outside world, and although Li Yifei’s Golden Eagle persona was known to many, he varied his identity frequently when he was with the Flying Hawk Squad. Now, he and Sophia had disguised themselves as an ordinary couple, not using Li Yifei’s identity. Moreover, since Sophia wasn’t Huaxia People, such a mixed-cultural couple wouldn’t arouse the suspicions of the Japanese side even after they discovered the theft of something important.
Although Li Yifei had been somewhat concerned about Sophia’s acting skills, asking her to pretend to be his girlfriend could have made her uncomfortable, but to his surprise, Sophia was completely convincing in any role. Right now, she leaned on him like a gentle bird, and he felt no discomfort at all.
"I hadn’t realized you had such acting chops," he said as they stepped off the plane, Sophia’s arm entwined in his, her step graceful and a sweet smile on her face, nothing like the distant assassin she normally was.
Still with a sweet smile, Sophia leaned her head on Li Yifei’s shoulder and said, "If I wanted to survive, I’d have been killed long ago without some acting skills. But with you, I don’t need to perform."
Li Yifei really didn’t dare to take that bait. Clearly, Sophia still entertained the idea of being his woman, but he didn’t dare to provoke any woman now. Even those who were already his women, he couldn’t explain; it was something he needed to set aside for the time being.
Besides, a woman like Sophia could be a very useful assistant, but as his woman, would Li Yifei be willing to send her on dangerous missions? That was simply impossible.
"When can you teach me Flying Needle?" Sophia asked.
"You’re already so good with the Flying Dagger, why do you still need to learn Flying Needle?"
"But I still lost to you, and if I learn your Flying Needle, maybe I can find your weak spot and possibly win against you next time."
Li Yifei was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, saying, "You’re still hell-bent on winning, huh?"
