As the saying goes, concern makes one confused. Zi Lingwei only cared about Li Mo's safety and nothing else.
She didn't even ask which guild Instructor Wu and the rest were from before following the youth into the Misty Forest.
"Little girl, how old are you?
Where do you live?
Do you have someone you like? "
The youth's vulgar face kept asking Zi Lingwei questions along the way.
But Zi Lingwei wasn't in the mood to entertain him, making him feel awkward.
After walking in the forest for nearly four hours, the young man finally stopped.
"Big brother, why aren't you walking?
We haven't even reached the edge of the forest! "
Zi Lingwei looked at him with doubt.
"He-he … little girl, the Misty Forest is no ordinary place. We better be careful!
Look, it's getting dark. Let's spend the night here.
We will leave tomorrow morning and I will help you find your companion. How about it? "
"No!
I will find him today.
If you're still afraid of danger, you can tell me where he is, and I'll go find him myself! "
The youth smiled awkwardly at Zi Lingwei's firm attitude.
How could he know where Li Mo was? Instructor Wu told him to bring Zi Lingwei into the forest to use her to lure Li Mo out.
If Li Mo showed up, then Zhong Xiang and the rest were most likely dead by his hands.
If Li Mo didn't show up, then he would just let him kill Zi Lingwei.
"T-this, you're a girl. How can I be at ease letting you go by yourself?
Moreover, this is my instructor's mission. He will punish me if I don't complete it.
I think it's better if we rest here for the night! "
"Thank you for your kindness, big brother. Forget it.
Since you won't tell me, I'll go find him myself!
Thank you for escorting me all the way! "
After Zi Lingwei finished speaking, she thanked the young man and walked straight ahead!
"Hey, hey, hey!
You really don't know what's good for you. I'm doing this for your safety. Wait for me!
Seeing that Zi Lingwei was about to leave, the young man hurriedly chased after her.
"I've already thanked you. Why are you still stopping me!"
Zi Ling's expression turned ugly when she saw the youth who had run up to her.
"Thanks?
I've escorted you for such a long time, and you're satisfied with just a word of thanks?
Heh heh … Wouldn't that be letting you off too lightly! "
"Humph!
I still have some gold coins here, I'll give them to you. That should be enough, right? "
With that, Zi Lingwei tossed a few gold coins to the young man.
She knew she wasn't his match, and with Li Mo's life hanging in the balance, she wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible.
Otherwise, according to her usual personality, even if she couldn't defeat him, she would still fight it out with him!
Weighing the few gold coins in his hand, the young man's wretched smile widened.
"Hehe … Just a few gold coins?
Do you really think that we, the members of the Liuli Success Association, have never seen money before? "
"Ah!
Are you from the Liuli Success Association? "
Zi Lingwei immediately took a few steps back after hearing the young man's words.
One of his hands was already on his Storage Belt, ready to pull out his weapon at any moment.
"Hehe … Little sister, you only know our identities now?
However, it's not too late. Since you know my identity, why don't you listen to me obediently?
So long as you entertain me tonight, I promise to deliver you to your friends.
But if you don't, humph … You know our two guilds aren't on good terms. I don't want to do something so cruel as to destroy a flower!
“
The young man didn't care about Zi Lingwei's actions. In his eyes, an 18th level assassin was no threat to him!
"Humph!
With just you?
I won't let you have your way even if I die here. Liuli City's people are a bunch of trash! "
Zi Lingwei retreated as she spoke. She didn't regret coming here to find Li Mo.
Rather, she regretted her lack of experience and falling into the wrong man's hands.
"Don't!
You're so pretty. How can I let you die?
Come on!
Play with your big brother, or the department will waste your good looks! "
With that, the young man closed in on Zi Lingwei!
"Surprise attack!"
Zi Lingwei shouted and a short sword appeared in her hand, at the same time releasing a skill.
His figure immediately blurred as he charged toward the young man.
Her skill wasn't a demon's inherited skill, but Han Tianyu chose it for her. Its power was nothing to scoff at!
The young man's lips curled into a playful smile as he watched Zi Lingwei charging at him.
"Humph!
A mere 18th level assassin wants to fight me?
Alright, then I'll have a good taste of a hot little beauty like you after I defeat you!
Fire Manipulation Art! "
This young man was also a Warlock, and his skills were the same as the Feng Qingxuan brothers. However, the power of his fire control technique was not just a little bit inferior to the Feng Qingxuan brothers!
"Whoosh …"
A scorching fireball flew at Zi Lingwei.
"Whoosh …"
It was a 10th level skill, so it was easy for Zi Lingwei to deal with it.
She dodged and pointed her short sword at the young man's throat.
"Ice Shield!"
The young man didn't flinch, but shouted again.
A thick and heavy block of ice appeared in front of him, blocking Zi Lingwei's fatal attack.
Bang …
Zi Lingwei's short sword only pierced ten centimeters into the block of ice and couldn't go any further!
"Haha … Beauty, is that all you've got?
I advise you to agree. In the future, I'll talk to my mentor and let you join our guild. Wouldn't it be great if we could be a couple that everyone envies? "
"Shut your filthy mouth!
Your guild is full of scum. I won't agree even if I die! "
Zi Lingwei pulled out her short sword and quickly moved to the left.
She dashed forward while the young man was unprepared!
Since she couldn't beat him, her only choice was to escape. She believed that her speed gave her an advantage.
At the very least, he wouldn't be able to catch up to her in a short amount of time!
"Damn it, you insulted our guild and you still want to escape?
Although you assassins are known for your speed, don't forget that my strength far surpasses yours. Let's see how you can escape when you run out of energy! "
How could the young man be willing to let his prey escape? He immediately chased after her!
Everything was as Zi Lingwei expected. His opponent was no match for her in terms of speed.
They maintained a distance of 20 meters, but as her energy dwindled, she knew this wasn't the way to go.
But she had no other way to deal with it, and could only hope for a miracle.
"Li Mo!
Where are you? "
Two hours passed. Zi Lingwei thought to herself as she hurriedly rushed forward.
How she wished for Li Mo to appear before her!
"Ha-ha … little girl, isn't your energy almost gone?
I think you'd better surrender! "
The young man's loathsome voice came from behind and Zi Lingwei's eyes started to tear up.
He wasn't afraid of death, but of the bastard behind him tarnishing his innocence!
She was ready to commit suicide, but regretted that she wouldn't be able to see Li Mo one last time before she died.
