Yang Cheng suddenly opened his eyes, gazing towards the doorway.
His hearing was exceptionally keen, and even though the person's footsteps were very light, he could still hear someone approaching slowly.
Before long, the person reached the door.
Yang Cheng's expression darkened; the fact that this person could find Ye Ling'Er's room so accurately suggested they had prepared well in advance.
Seeing Ye Ling'Er still sound asleep, he couldn't bear to disturb her and gently got out of bed.
As the person was still picking the lock, Yang Cheng burst open the door and grabbed the intruder's wrist, yanking them forcefully out.
The assassin realized the situation was dire and nimbly flipped, drawing a dagger and fiercely thrusting it towards Yang Cheng's neck.
Such a ruthless move, clearly a professional assassin. Yang Cheng showed no mercy, kicking the assassin's wrist hard.
The assassin's wrist went numb, causing the dagger to fly out of their hand.
