After dealing with Zhao Huangzhi, Qie Ranzhe felt like a huge weight had been lifted off his shoulders. It still puzzled him why he felt this much relief letting go of Zhao Huangzhi. Maybe it was because he was leaving behind the drama associated with her? Whatever the reason, Qie Ranzhe couldn't wait to create distance between them.
The man was completely engulfed in his tranquil moment that he didn't see Airen's attack coming. He had just taken three steps down the corridor when Airen who had been silently waiting for him took advantage of his absent mindedness and landed a powerful blow on Qie Ranzhe's face. The general actually stumbled a few steps backwards with a faint streak of blood flowing at the corner of his mouth. Stunned, Qie Ranzhe touched the corner of his bruised lip with his fingers and vicioulsy glared at the coward who dared to launch a sneak attack at him.
