The Deadly Hitwoman: The Heiress's Special Abilities Chapter 401: The Pieced-Together Truth (Part 1)

However, Ling Xiang is indeed the most powerful and formidable in the entire Spirit Cultivation Realm, apart from those few abnormal old monsters and Su Yu.

"Ah, let’s not talk about those troubleso people. Little Jing zi, when you reach his level, you’ll definitely be able to defeat him thoroughly!" Lan Ling really didn’t like Ling Xiang at all; hmph, immature, petty, and cunning!

"Alright, you all stop talking about this. Jing’er, is your body alright? Can you hold on? I can’t leave right now, so you should go back and rest." Su Xingqiao, although unsure of Han Jing’s true strength, knew she was pregnant and that excessive exertion would surely affect her body.

"Brother Qiao, I’ll head back first. If there’s any news tomorrow, send soone to inform ." She had managed to halt the advance of these fifty thousand troops but couldn’t stop the forces behind.

According to the information Han Jing received, by tomorrow afternoon at the latest, the troops behind Prince An will catch up. If they could rest for a day on the spot, they might be able to buy so more ti; if they plan to attack the city overnight tomorrow, then this side still can’t hold them off.

She could only co up with other solutions tomorrow. At least tonight’s actions were sufficient to delay their attack by a day.

Su Xingqiao nodded and said nothing more.

If... if it truly can’t be held, then he wouldn’t care so much. The throne he didn’t covet, the future he didn’t deem important; if the city can’t be defended, he would never allow the enemy to step into the city gates, even knowing defeat was inevitable.

Han Jing called Lan Ling and Mu Jin to return. She certainly knew Su Xingqiao was just agreeing on the surface; if sothing serious happened, he wouldn’t possibly tell her.

However, it was fortunate she had arranged for Lan Ji to secretly stay behind and observe the situation here, notifying her imdiately if anything happened.

Back at the mansion, Mu Jin was still sowhat worried. Before leaving, Su Yu had instructed her that Lan Lan knew dicine. If sothing happened and Yun Feng couldn’t be summoned promptly, she should seek Lan Lan first.

Therefore, Mu Jin went to invite Lan Lan over to check Han Jing’s pulse.

Lan Lan did not refuse. She never had a chance to get close to Han Jing before, and now that the opportunity presented itself, she certainly wouldn’t miss it. She was not trying to harm her, just eager to understand what kind of charm this woman possessed to warrant such favor from her master.

Lan Lan carefully checked Han Jing’s pulse, using so physical strength, but it was not a major concern. With the master providing excessive spiritual power protection, this level of exertion did not matter. However...

It was Lan Lan’s first ti taking Han Jing’s pulse, and although Han Jing’s body seed fine, the child in her womb appeared to be different from ordinary fetuses. Her lack of experience made her hesitant to draw conclusions, but she had a vague feeling that the child was definitely... not healthy.

This certainly shocked Lan Lan greatly.

She didn’t dare show it, only a fleeting surprise and doubt in her eyes, but it didn’t escape Han Jing’s notice.

Just as Lan Lan was curious about Han Jing, Han Jing was equally curious about her. Being a woman, she couldn’t miss Lan Lan’s feelings for Su Yu, but she trusted Su Yu enough not to drive Lan Lan away unnecessarily.

Nonetheless, out of a woman’s nature, she still paid so attention to Lan Lan, like when she was taking her pulse.
