Chapter 1226: Perfect

Cen Xi froze slightly.

She was about to take her hand from Bai Lin’s grasp when a sharp pain trailed from her forehead. He had flicked her. “What are you thinking about?” Bai Lin furrowed his eyebrows as he scolded, “We all have to be stern when we need to, and relax when we need to. Especially you, little sister.”

Cen Xi laughed awkwardly. “Brother Bai Lin, I thought too much into your actions. Do you know, that day, Uncle Bai told me…”

“Don’t listen to the Old Man’s weird ramblings.”

Cen Xi broke out in laughter, her smile brighter than the sun.

When Cen Xi started training once more, Bai Lin kept standing behind her, staring at her cold expression as she shot. He sighed silently. That small little elf girl was all grown up now!

…

Three days later.At a pier filled with abandoned containers and wild grass in X Country.

Cen Xi, who was wearing a black leather shirt, had hair tied up in a ponytail and was wearing an earphone as she lay on an inconspicuous container.

Dressed in all black, the outfit made her look fairer and more serious and well-trained.

Bai Wei and another colleague were waiting at another container not too far away from them. They were in-charge of protecting her and helping her to leave safely after she was done with the shooting.

The colleague stared at Cen Xi, who looked extremely serious as she executed the mission, whispering softly, “It’s no wonder why you want this little girl to be your daughter-in-law. She’s indeed very pretty!”

“Why? You’d like her for your son as well?”

“How would I dare to snatch her for my son when you, Old Bai, already chose her first?!”

“Shhh, stop talking. Someone is here.”Cen Xi also saw a bunch of people arriving at the pier. One of the men was Qiao Sen, who looked extremely ordinary, but had an extremely strong aura.

When she saw him again, Cen Xi’s heart started to beat faster uncontrollably.

Although he wasn’t handsome, his actions, wildness, pride, and domineering arrogance that despised everything, made him exude a strong masculinity all over.

Cen Xi recalled the night of when her hair was stuck to his pants’ zipper, and her face burying at his crotch and she couldn’t help but flush.

Bai Wei’s voice trailed into her ear. “Xiao Xi, what are you thinking about? Don’t daze out!”

Cen Xi immediately resumed her high-alert mode. “Yes, Uncle Bai.”

She couldn’t daze out or think nonsense again at such an important time. Any small mistake would take Qiao Sen’s life!

Focus, Cen Xi!

…When the two parties were doing their transaction, Bai Wei immediately gave the order.

A commotion immediately ensued at the pier.

Qiao Yanze pulled Ba Er and hid behind a container. Ba Er aimed his gun at Qiao Yanze’s head. “You’re a spy! You’re the one who betrayed the organization in this deal!”

“I’m not.”

“Are you still denyingー”

Whoosh!

“Master Ba, be careful!” An arrow pierced through the air towards Ba Er and Qiao Yanze jumped towards Ba Er, defending him as they both rolled on the ground. He pulled Ba Er behind him, and another black arrow pierced into his heart, quick and decisive.

Ba Er froze for a few seconds, staring at where the arrow came from before he quickly ordered his men to chase after the person who shot the arrow.

Ba Er stared at Qiao Yanze, who was laying on the ground with an arrow on his chest. He furrowed his eyebrows tightly. “This is a black feather arrow. It’s hard to escape death once the black feather arrow appears. You… are not a spy?”

Blood flowed from Qiao Yanze’s mouth, his breathing uneven. “Master Ba, I said before that I will follow you until death. I will never quit before I die.”…

Seeing that someone was running over, Cen Xi hurriedly jumped down while Bai Wei got his colleague to cover for her as she escaped the scene.

Once they arrived at the safe area, that colleague gave Cen Xi a thumbs up. “Miss Cen is indeed Mr Cen’s daughter. You’re fast and accurate and barely dragged anything at all! You’re almost like a God!”

“You flatter me.” Although she knew that she was accurate enough to have shot the arrow slightly off the man’s heart, she didn’t know how his wound was and was worried about him, since she couldn’t approach him to check on him.

Bai Wei’s colleague saw Cen Xi’s pale face and thought that she was still nervous. He comforted her a little. “It’ll be fine, believe in yourself.”

Cen Xi hummed softly.

…

That night, at an inn they were resting in.Cen Xi was sitting by the bed, her surroundings extremely quiet and calm. She didn’t know how long had passed before knocks sounded at the door.

“Xiao Xi, it’s me.”

Cen Xi flew over, opening the door.

Bai Wei’s right arm was scraped. Seeing this, Cen Xi asked worriedly, “Uncle Bai, are you injured badly?”

Bai Wei shook his head. “It’s not serious.”

“Oh right, how’s that spy’s condition?” When she asked this, Cen Xi’s heart was completely tense, afraid that she would hear something bad.

“Your aim was very accurate. The arrow barely missed his heart, so he isn’t in danger.”

Cen Xi knew that even if his life wasn’t in danger, he was still badly injured. She bit her lips, saying what she thought, “Uncle Bai, is he at the town’s hospital?”

“Yes. But we have to leave immediately. This is Ba Er’s territory. Now that he knows we’re here, he will definitely send a lot of people out to look for us.”

“Uncle Bai, I don’t want to leave with you.” Cen Xi took a deep breath before she looked into Bai Wei’s eyes. “Qiao Sen got injured with my arrow, so only I know best about how to treat the injury. I want to stay.”

“Xiao Xi, what are you talking about?” Bai Wei’s expression changed immediately.

“Uncle Bai, I have to tell you the truth. Qiao Sen saved my once in the Sahara Deserts. I feel extremely guilty about injuring him this time. I thought about someone else as well. Apart from being able to take care of him, I can be his translator as well. I found out last time that he couldn’t understand their language, but I can.”

When Bai Wei met with Qiao Yanze a while back, he mentioned this. Ba Er was extremely careful, so he used languages that were extremely hard to understand when he instructed his closest men with work. Qiao Yanze hoped for him to send another undercover spy that knew many languages to help him.

However, even if he was able to find that type of person, the person might not be willing to risk their life.

“Uncle Bai, I’m sure you don’t want to see Qiao Sen be alone while he’s injured right? The nurses definitely don’t know how to treat his wounds. Let me go and take care of him. If my identity is exposed, I will never expose you or implicate Qiao Sen. I will commit suicide instead.”

“Xiao Xi, if anything happens to you, how can I face your deceased father?”

“Uncle Bai, I don’t want to owe Qiao Sen any favors. Let me repay his favor and I’ll listen to you from now on, alright?”

“Are you really willing to take that risk?”

“I’m willing.”

“But you won’t be able to go take care of him if you go like this.”

Cen Xi blinked at Bai Wei, exuding a young girl’s mischievousness and playfulness. “Uncle Bai, wait a while!”

Carrying a small bag, Cen Xi walked into the washroom.

A while later, Cen Xi walked back out. When Bai Wei saw what she looked like, he almost didn’t recognize her.
