The silver - masked man was in no hurry when he saw this. "Miss Shen can think it over carefully. Although this place of mine is small, it's secluded and undisturbed. Miss Shen can calmly weigh the pros and cons. However, I can only give Miss Shen three days. You can tell me your answer in three days!"
Shen Li looked at the man, a faint smile on her face, and said, "No need! I can tell you my answer right now, sir!"
The silver - masked man just stood there, looking at Shen Li. "Miss Shen, don't you want to think about it again? You know, this is a one - time opportunity. If you miss it, you might even lose your life!"
Hearing this, there was no trace of fear on Shen Li's face. Instead, there was a hint of interest. "I'm afraid it's you, sir, who is in danger of losing your life."
After saying this, Shen Li's expression immediately turned serious. Then she flashed to the side.
Immediately afterwards, there was a crackling sound, and several people successively dropped from the roof. All of them were holding long swords, with the tips of the swords pointing directly at the silver - masked man.
The man also dodged to the side. Looking at the people who suddenly dropped from the sky, he said coldly, "It seems I underestimated Miss Shen! You staged such a grand play just to lure me into the trap!"
Shen Li stood behind the group of people, staring intently at the silver - masked man. "Your whereabouts are too mysterious, sir. I had no choice but to resort to this plan."
"Hehe! It seems I was too careless! Miss Shen, if you stop now, I can act as if nothing has happened, and our deal will still be on!"
Shen Li looked at the man and said, "For things that don't belong to you, excessive coveting will only get you into trouble. Both the Shen family and the Night Shade Division have limited capabilities. We dare not be greedy for other things. Your plan has ultimately gone wrong, sir!"
"Then it seems there's no point in saying more!" After saying this, the silver - masked man didn't hesitate any longer and engaged in a fight with several killers from the Night Shade Division.
"Miss! Catch!" Jiao Yue, seeing Shen Li standing on the side watching the battle, suddenly swung her whip and threw it in Shen Li's direction.
Shen Li caught the Night Shadow Whip, held it in her hand, and without hesitation, attacked the silver - masked man. Even Han Yue joined the fight.
The silver - masked man's martial arts skills were extremely high, and his martial arts techniques were very strange. The others had to be extra careful when dealing with him.
Even when facing Shen Li and the other five people, the man remained calm. While fighting, he used his light - footed skills and moved towards the south.
"Don't let him get away!" After Shen Li missed a strike, the silver - masked man continued to use his light - footed skills and temporarily got rid of them. Shen Li watched his figure angrily and said to the people from the Night Shade Division.
The south of the capital city was very lively at the moment. There was a festive atmosphere everywhere, with a large number of common people and the streets were full of people.
Shen Li immediately saw the silver - masked man's intention. Since he was wearing a mask, no one had seen his face. If he took off the mask now and blended into the crowd, it would be very difficult to find him.
Sure enough, as Shen Li had guessed, the silver - masked man used his light - footed skills and quickly flew towards a place with a large number of people.
Seeing this, Shen Li immediately threw a dart in the man's direction. The man was only focused on escaping to the ground and didn't notice the danger behind him. Shen Li hit her target, and the dart injured the man's left shoulder.
The man only paused for a moment and then immediately rushed into the crowd.
There were too many people around now. Shen Li was afraid of hurting the innocent, so she didn't dare to throw a second dart. She could only follow the place where the man had dropped.
But there were so many common people here. By the time Shen Li and the others landed, the man had already disappeared without a trace.
"Search separately! That man is extremely cunning and full of tricks. If you meet him, be sure to send a signal!" After giving these instructions, the six of them chased in different directions.
Shen Li had expected that someone would try to assassinate her today, but she didn't expect to encounter two groups of people one after another. Obviously, the latter group of black - clothed men had higher martial arts skills, and they were probably the ones who had been chasing them all along. So Shen Li played along with the plan, deliberately got injured, and was captured.
Before this, Shen Li had brought six killers from the Night Shade Division to secretly protect her. After Shen Li pretended to be captured, they followed all the way. First, they secretly took care of the silver - masked man's subordinates.
Only then did they manage to lure the silver - masked man out. And she was right in her guess. That silver - masked man was also related to the incident at the Pufa Temple.
The incident at the Pufa Temple was of great significance and was even closely related to the Western Yue State. The identity of the silver - masked man was even more worthy of speculation! So today, under no circumstances could the silver - masked man be allowed to escape.
Although the situation was urgent, it was like looking for a needle in a haystack now. It was difficult even to move around, let alone find a person whose face was unknown.
Shen Li walked along the street in the south of the city. She could only search based on the silver - masked man's figure and his clothing just now. She searched for more than half an hour but found nothing.
"Hey, Miss Shen, I've been waiting for you here for more than an hour. You've finally come!" Shen Li was standing in the crowd when she suddenly heard a voice. She turned her head and looked behind.
She saw Xuan Yuan Jue, with his arms folded across his chest, standing there impatiently. He was also holding a long black mask in one hand.
"Why are you here?"
"What do you mean, why am I here? This is the Matchmaker Temple! The place we agreed on!"
Xuan Yuan Jue's eyes were fixed firmly on Shen Li's face. When he saw her show a suddenly - realized expression after he finished speaking, his eyes narrowed dangerously. He walked towards Shen Li and said as he walked, "Little thing, you'd better not tell me that you've forgotten our agreement! Otherwise... you'll end up in a very bad situation!"
Seeing Xuan Yuan Jue on the verge of anger, how could Shen Li deliberately anger him? With a flattering smile on her face, she said, "How could I? Of course I remember such an important thing! It's just..."
"Just? Little thing, do you think my temper is too good, huh?" As he said this, Xuan Yuan Jue reached out his big hand, grabbed the back of Shen Li's collar, lifted her up gently, and dragged her forward.
"Hey! Xuan Yuan Jue, let go of me. I have something important to tell you!" Shen Li struggled and didn't cooperate, but unfortunately, she was being dragged like a chick by the back of her collar. She could only take small steps and follow carefully.
"Important thing? That's just right. I also have something important to tell you. Let's go inside and talk!" Xuan Yuan Jue was very firm. He dragged Shen Li into the Matchmaker Temple.
The Matchmaker Temple was filled with a large number of people, mostly young men and women. Without even guessing, one could tell what they were here for when praying to the matchmaker.
Xuan Yuan Jue dragged Shen Li to the statue of the matchmaker, let go of her, and simply said, "Alright! Kneel down!"
