Besides, Jiang Nannan had never once treated him kindly throughout the years he'd pursued her. This time, she had rejected him outright again. He was truly tired. Maybe it was for the best that things ended like this.
Meanwhile, Jiang Nannan wandered aimlessly down the street, lost in confusion.
Several years ago, her mother had fallen gravely ill. Jiang Nannan had sought doctors everywhere, even going so far as to beg the Mysterious Underworld Sect for help. She had nearly sacrificed her body, but fortunately someone had lent her a hand and cured her mother. There had been a condition, though: she had to gather intelligence on the geniuses and powerhouses at Shrek Academy.
In other words, she had to be a spy.
She had done as she was asked, but it had left a bitter taste in her mouth. She had felt especially guilty and remorseful when she watched her teammates get targeted and injured during the opening ceremony battle.
That was why she had fought so hard, holding out until the very end to win the match for the team.
Losing an arm, going blind, and being disfigured had actually made her feel a little better. But she was lost when it came to the road ahead, with no idea where to go from here.
"The Young Sect Leader wants to see you."
A black-clad figure approached, slipped a small notebook into Jiang Nannan's hand, then turned into a nearby alley.
Jiang Nannan paused. A moment later, she seemed to realize who the person was. After a brief hesitation, she followed.
She trailed the figure through the winding, secluded alleys until they arrived at an ordinary-looking house.
"Young Sect Leader, I've brought her."
Sleep Nightmare spoke up to announce their arrival.
"She's here!"
