Chapter 281: The Assassin Arrives—You're the Fool I See

Hearing that, Qiao Sheng was startled and asked Shi Ren, "Shi Ren, why would you ask that?"

We've already reached this point.

Shi Ren then stopped holding back: "You're not the original Qiao Lianhua, and you don't seem to be a reincarnation, so I'm worried that one day you'll just disappear suddenly."

So that's how it is.

Qiao Sheng smiled, she sat opposite Shi Ren and said, "I probably can't go back; I came here because I saved someone from an accident—you could say I was possessed by a ghost."

Shi Ren's eyes widened a few degrees in an instant.

Qiao Sheng carefully began to explain to him, "The place I come from is different from here; where I'm from, men and women are equal. We go out, take vehicles, call people…"

Qiao Sheng babbled on at length.

Shi Ren was stunned by what she said; everything was so novel, many things he had never even heard of, let alone seen.

"Aunt Qiao, the world you lived in before was really nice."

Qiao Sheng raised her hand and patted Shi Ren's head.

"How should I put it? It's good, but also not. Many things are advanced, but modern air isn't as good as here, and food isn't as clean and pure; modern food often has additives…"

She truly hadn't expected to reveal her own background to Shi Ren first.

Shi Lin still doesn't know even now!

If he found out, who knows if he'd lose his temper!

After Shi Ren left.

Qiao Sheng couldn't fall asleep for a long time; just as she was drifting toward sleep, a voice from outside shouted, "An Liu, An Shi, come out quickly, Qiao Niangzi, Qiao Niangzi, lock the doors and windows, don't come out!"

What's going on!

Qiao Sheng sat up with a start.

Xiao Shitou and the others aren't staying with her; how could she possibly trust them not to go out?

She quickly tidied up.

Qiao Sheng packed the Poison she had concocted, slipped to the doorway to peek, and saw An Liu and An Shi fighting dozens of men in black in the courtyard.

She saw them gradually being outmatched.

Qiao Sheng was just wondering what to do when Shi Jin ran over from the side, shouting, "You have such nerve! Do you know who we are? You're really courting death!"

You foolish kid!

Qiao Sheng opened the door and saw Shi Ren dragging Shi Jin to one side.

"Let go of me."

Shi Jin shouted irritably.

Shi Ren was speechless: "Are you stupid?"

At that moment.

Xiao Shitou and Shi Yun both emerged.

Qiao Sheng immediately said, "All of you go back to your rooms, stay in a single room, lock the doors and windows; we won't call you, so don't come out."

"Mother…"

Xiao Shitou didn't want to go in.

Shi Ren spoke up, "Aunt Qiao, my martial skill is better than theirs; I'll stay to help you."

Qiao Sheng said sternly, "All of you go back to your rooms; anyone who doesn't obey will be sent away tomorrow!"

The moment she said that,

Shi Ren and the others didn't dare say anything else, each reluctantly entered the rooms behind them.

An Liu, about to be driven mad by Qiao Sheng, shouted, "Qiao Niangzi, didn't I tell you not to come out? Get into the room quickly."

He feared they couldn't protect her.

If she were injured, maimed, or even dead, how could they explain it to Shi Lin?

An Shi also worried about Qiao Sheng's safety: "Qiao Niangzi, you must leave quickly!"

But

it was already too late.

A man in black thrust a sword at Qiao Sheng.

It was at that moment.

Qiao Sheng dodged and flung a handful of powder at him.

The man in black laughed, "You must be stupid, didn't you see I'm wearing a mask?"

"I think the fool is you."

As soon as Qiao Sheng said that,

the man in black felt his eyes itch, and soon a piercing itch swept over both eyes, causing him to raise his hand and rub them.

In a moment, black blood seeped from his eyes, and shortly after his breath ceased.

He made no sound before he was gone.
