"Were those assassins just now sent by the various sects and noble families?" Gao Fei asked.
"Nonsense," Shangguan Yunyue huffed. "Of course, they were sent by them. If I hadn't arrived in time, you would be dead."
Gao Fei was very frustrated, to put it mildly. He could never have imagined things turning out like this. Calling it utterly disastrous was putting it lightly.
He had gone through great efforts to eliminate bandits, partly to earn merit and partly to rid the people of harm. After all, only when the bandits were gone could the common folk live in peace and prosperity. What he had never expected was that the various sects and noble families would set their sights on him and send a host of experts to assassinate him. Had Shangguan Yunyue not arrived in time, Gao Fei would surely be dead.
What to do?
If the enemy could attempt to kill him once, they could do it twice, thrice, four times, five times...
In that case, Gao Fei could forget about living a peaceful life.
