Despite being incensed with Zhang Fei for his clan's involvement in the obliteration of her Xiao Clan, Xiao Ling was not without reservations as she contemplated the idea of taking his life.
As Xiao Ling pivoted towards Wang Jian with the intention of imploring him to revoke his command, she came to an abrupt halt as she apprehended the unyielding expression in his eyes.
His gaze bore into hers with unwavering severity, conveying an unmistakable message that his directive was non-negotiable.
"I…I don't have a weapon on me," Xiao Ling offered weakly, wracking her mind for any possible excuse to escape Wang Jian's command.
