"Hahahaha!"
Laughter echoed through the room as Shu Xian sat in shock, staring at his finger.
"Wh-wh-why..?" He had no words.
"Why? Didn't I tell you?" He got the reply, "Didn't I tell you that your finger will be blasted into smithereens if you lie to me?"
Shu Xian raised his head and looked at the person who held his fate in his hands.
This time there was no hate in his eyes — only fear.
"I-I-I am Shu Xian." He stammered and said, "I am part of the Eastern Scout Group from the Devil Sect. And I have been assigned to the Gracious Sword Sect to assassinate Yuan Shuchun."
The person in front of him nodded his head, "Now tell me something that I don't know about."
Shu Xian frowned, "I tried to assassinate Yuan Shuchun at the banquet but failed."
Seeing another nod, Shu Xian continued. "I failed because of Jun Xie."
"After I failed, Jun Xie was also added to my target list because of the threat."
