Avenge For Love novel Chapter 78

The man nodded his head as Wu Xingxie stood before him, eyes with killing intent. The shawl she wore had long fallen off and he had a clear view of her face. The man's mouth opened slightly under his cloth mask once he saw her face.

Gasping, he thought how funny the situation turned out.

Master will love to hear about this.

He quickly laughed as he decided to retreat, disappearing from her view.

Wu Xingxie ran towards him, but his body began to distort itself as he disappeared from her view.

She looked around to see where he had disappeared to but his presence was long gone.

This feeling, she felt it before.

"Like that time...." Wu Xingxie recalled her encounter with the assassin who disguised as Wei. He had disappeared exactly the same way.

Wu Xingxie was positive they weren't the same person because of the difference in their spiritual energy, so for them to use the same technique, they had to be connected in some way.

The strange technique, Wu Xingxie had no idea what it was called but for sure, she had to learn what it was.

Glancing at the lifeless bodies, Wu Xingxie gritted her teeth in anger as she wondered how many innocent people died from their explosions. She wanted to turn away and leave, but her body started moving towards the bodies. Grasping her sword, Wu Xingxie glared coldly at the assassins.

Raising it high, she prepared to stab at

the bodies in order to satisfy her rage.

Wu Xingxie thrusted the sword, but before it touched the body, a pair of strong arms

grabbed her wrists.

Wu Xingxie indifferently glanced at the person who had grabbed her, pulling her arms free from their grasp.

"Why are you here?" She questioned flatly seeing his handsome face looking at her with a poker face. He stood a few feet away but the way the light shone on his face, she was able to notice the mole under his eye clearly.

"It's normal as your bodyguard to follow you around. What happened wasn't your fault."

Although he didn't specify, she knew exactly what he was referring to. The explosions killed many people yet she came too late.

Wu Xingxie blamed herself for their deaths.

Perhaps, if I had knew this was going to happen, I could have stopped it. I knew about the assassination attempt, but there were no ordinary citizens involved so why this time?

Maybe it's because I have changed so many things that more bad incidents are happening.

"So it's a leopard..." Wu Xingxie did not know that the character for leopard and panther were the same so she thought that the animal was a leopard.

After all, wasn't a black leopard just a panther?

Having learned about the animal, Wu Xingxie began to nurture it like it was her own child. Due to the limited times she was allowed to see Wu Xuan, Wu Xingxie desired a friend.

This animal was her hope because if she saved it, the creature would naturally become attached to her, right?

She tended to his wounds, fed it meat and water. She even bathed with the animal and sang it a lullaby every night, allowing it to sleep by her side.

From what Wei recalled, as it got better and more healthy, the panther disappeared mysteriously one day, leaving Wu Xingxie in a state of misery.

As much as he admired how she cared for the panther, what irked him was the fact that the panther was none other than Bao Ling, the Demon King.

Wei developed a sense of dislike for him since he left her when she basically saved his life. Over a decade had passed since then, but he remembered the incident better than Wu Xingxie.

In fact, it was something she had never mentioned. After Yuyan became her personal attendant, she buried the incident with no intentions of talking about it.

Deep down, he knew if someone was in need, she wouldn't hesitate to help them. It was her thirst for vengeance that prevented her to be the same.
