Chapter 23: Chapter 23 You Are More Interesting than a Thousand Taels of Gold

The sun set beyond the western hills.

The sky darkened.

Chu Qianli didn’t know where she was now.

Tonight, dark clouds covered the moon, and without the moonlight, the forest gradually became so dark she couldn’t see her own fingers.

Direction was even harder to discern.

Suddenly, Chu Qianli paused mid-step and hastily retreated backward.

"Awoo——"

A wolf howled, its voice followed by its shadow!

The dark figure pounced at the very place she had just been standing.

If her reaction hadn’t been quick enough, by now she might have already been brought down by the wolf.

Having missed its first strike, the wolf immediately sniffed out Chu Qianli’s hiding spot.

Turning its head, it lunged at her again with a howl.

This time, Chu Qianli didn’t rush to dodge, but as the wolf was about to pounce, she suddenly flicked her wrist.

"Awoo..."

The wolf let out a pitiful howl and fell heavily to the ground.

It was simply inconceivable!

But just as the dark figure in the tree had just made out what had injured the wolf’s eyes, suddenly, three cold gusts struck.

The man in black tensed up, abruptly withdrawing his steps.

With a hiss, three silver needles flew past him, the last one even piercing the fabric on his shoulder.

This woman had known of his presence all along, but pretended to be completely unaware!

The man in black’s face darkened as he stopped hiding and leaped down from the tree.

Unexpectedly, Chu Qianli didn’t pause for a moment, her wrist turned once again.

Mingyue just happened to break through the dark clouds, and under the hazy moonlighta number of streaks of silver light flashed by.

The man in black hadn’t even landed yet when the silver needles were already at his face!

He immediately gathered his Inner Strength and somersaulted mid-air, landing steadily on the ground!

But what he hadn’t anticipated was that as soon as his feet touched the ground, he felt a sudden sharp pain in the soles of his feet!

"You!"

He stared at Chu Qianli, who was emerging from the shadow of the trees, his eyes tinged with a murderous crimson fury.

He had truly underestimated this woman!

She had even calculated where he would land and what moves he would make!

Such skill was not common at all!

Chu Qianli had underestimated the man in black as well!

She had thought that once he stepped on the silver needles, he would surely fall down.

Yet unexpectedly, not only did he not fall, but with a casual flick of his leg, he expelled the silver needles from his body using his Inner Strength.

The depth of the man in black’s inner power exceeded her calculations!

After forcing the silver needles out, the man in black moved towards Chu Qianli.

But as he glanced up, he found that Chu Qianli was no longer in sight.

This cunning bad woman had actually fled!

Chu Qianli really had run away, for at the moment when she saw him eject the first silver needle, she turned and vanished into the bushes.

But she quickly realized that the man in black was following her steadily.

No matter where she fled, he found her.

Finally, she stopped and looked back.

The man in black stepped out from behind the tree, staring at her disheveled figure with the anger in his eyes dissipating.

In its place was a hint of a teasing smile.

"What exactly do you want?" Chu Qianli gasped heavily, asking coldly.

He kept following her but never attacked; if he had come here to find her, was it not to kill her?

"Someone has offered a thousand taels of gold for your life."

The voice of the man in black was deliberately disguised, hoarse and deep, completely disguising his original voice.

Chu Qianli’s eyes darkened, "Why haven’t you acted then?"

The man in black fixed his gaze on her face.

In the night, she couldn’t see the features beneath his mask.

But he could see every detail of her face clearly.

He said in a gravelly voice, "But I’ve found that you are much more interesting than a thousand taels of gold."
