The place Dou Xiangling invited her to be a private restaurant with a stylish and antique interior.

Upon entering, the front yard was decorated with various types of flowers and a grape trellis on the left side. Various long chairs were also placed in the vicinity for guests to enjoy the scenery.

They arrived at the backyard after walking through the front yard.

There was a large pool in the middle of the backyard and there was an octagon pavilion situated in the middle of the pool. A woman dressed in white robes while wearing a veil was currently playing an instrument. Around the woman were several other dancers dressed in antique clothes.

Artificial smoke was released in the surroundings of the pavilion, making the place look celestial.

The table for guests was placed near the pool and separated by screens. Guests would be able to spectate the performance in the pavilion and at the same time, they would not disturb another table.

When the waiter brought Lisa to Dou Xiangling's table, Dou Xiangling and Dou Zerui were already seated there and waiting for her.

"Lili, you're here."

Dou Xiangling waved. "I've already ordered the dishes and we're just waiting for you."

When she walked over and sat down, Dou Xiangling pushed the desserts towards her. "I'm sure you're hungry, have some desserts first."

Lisa said apologetically, "I forgot the time."

"It's alright, we haven't been waiting long either."

Dou Zerui looked at Lisa with a weird expression, as if he had something to say.

Lisa finished one of the desserts and said, "Speak your mind."

"Call me cousin." All of a sudden, Dou Zerui became insistent on how Lisa talked to him.

However, Lisa turned a deaf ear and continued eating the desserts.

Dou Zerui felt upset, but he could not force her either. He put his hands on the table, clasped them, and then released them. In the end, he said, "I apologize for my previous behavior."

"Hmm? What behavior?" Lisa had an indifferent expression.

Dou Zerui was even more upset and felt annoyed deep down. Why was their cousin so uncute!

"I mean my initial behavior to you."

"Oh..."

Lisa glanced at the inexplicably nervous Dou Zerui and curled her lips.

Dou Xiangling did not speak up for either side. She poured a cup of tea for Lisa out of concern that she might choke on the dessert.

"Thanks, cousin.'

Dou Xiangling covered her lips and smiled.

Only then, did Lisa turn to Dou Zerui. "I accept your apology."

Dou Zerui breathed a sigh of relief. He thought Lisa would make things difficult for him.

Just then, the waiter served their dishes.

The environment here was beautiful and the dishes were also plated nicely.

The three of them had their dinner in silence.

After they dined for a while, the musical instrument in the pavilion stopped.

Lisa glanced over and saw the few dancers leaving while the white-robed lady stood up and started a dance,

The music started playing once again. The white-robed lady should be wearing a harness beneath her clothes. Her movements appeared as light as a swallow. While she danced, she jumped out of the pavilion and started dancing on the water.

Everyone looked in the direction of the performance and applauded.

However, Lisa sensed a killing intent.

She looked at the woman calmly, then at the Dou siblings who were staring at the lady. She called out, "Cousin."

When Dou Zerui suddenly heard Lisa calling him, he turned around in joy.

The siblings stared at her concurrently.

Lisa pressed her stomach and frowned, appearing to be in pain. "My stomach hurts a little."

Both of them became anxious.

Dou Xiangling hastily stood up and came to her side. "Lili, what's wrong? Was there something bad in what you ate earlier?"

She then anxiously said to Dou Zerui, "Brother, let's send Lili to the hospital in case she really ate something bad."

Dou Zerui had also stood up. "Ok."

He came to Lisa and turned his back to face her as he squatted. "Come up, I'll piggyback you there,"

Lisa looked at his back, pursed her lips, and shook her head. "I can walk by myself. Why don't you settle the bill and drive the car over first.'

Dou Zerui thought for a moment and said to Dou Xiangling, "Xiangling, support Lili and come out. I'll wait for you two in the car."

Dou Xiangling nodded and Dou Zerui walked out in large strides.

Dou Xiangling came over to support Lisa.

However, the white-robed lady dashed towards their table at that moment.

Lisa pushed Dou Xiangling to one side, quickly took out the hidden weapon, and pulled the trigger at her.

At the same time, she said, "Cousin, go out quickly."

Dou Xiangling was stunned by the situation. She saw the white-robed lady retreating before coming forward for Lisa with an additional dagger in her hands. Out of horror, she warned her.

 "Lili, be careful!"

⁍

Lili forced the woman to retreat.

The surrounding customers had yet to figure out the situation when those backup dancers had enveloped them.

They no longer concealed their murderous aura and those who blocked their paths were resolved.

Lisa hid Dou Xiangling behind her and swiftly used the hidden weapon to force back those dancers.

"Lili, who are these people?"

Lisa already had an answer. These people should be in cahoots with those people who repeatedly trespassed her courtyard. They were here today to deal with her most probably because of the wooden box the masked man had taken away the previous time.

"Perhaps they recognized the wrong person."

While she said that, the customers from other tables were screaming in panic as they fled outside.

The boss and the waiters did not appear and evidently, they had been restrained.

Very soon, the white-robed lady leaped towards them and the dagger shining with a cold glint had aimed for Dou Xiangling.

Lisa quickly protected Dou Xiangling and she pulled the trigger for the hidden weapon with a cold expression.

The woman was unable to approach due to the hidden weapon and so, she said to the group of women standing by the door, "Attack."

Those women swiftly attacked Lisa and each of them had a dagger on hand.

A chilly glint streaked across Lisa's eyes. She directly aimed at their vital points and pulled the trigger.

After two women collapsed the others were shaken and retreated.

"Hmph!"

The white-robed lady snorted and said in a low voice, "I'd like to see how many hidden weapons you could possibly have!"

Lisa coldly glanced at her and aimed the weapon towards her.

A killing intent flashed past the whited-robed lady's eyes as her body swiftly moved. While Lisa was on guard against her, the dagger in her hand aimed towards Dou Xiangling.

Dou Xiangling saw the dagger aiming at her, but was worried Lisa might be distracted. She suppressed her fear and did not scream aloud.

How could Lisa possibly allow a dagger to injure Dou Xiangling? She hastily stepped forward and blocked it.

Just as she blocked it, the white-robed lady took out another dagger and slashed towards Lisa concurrently.

"lili, be careful!"

Whoosh!

Bam!

Thud!

As the dagger caused a cut on Lisa's arm, a powerful whip with killing intention pierced through the air.

Very soon, the masked man who made a sudden appearance fought against the white-robed lady.

There were another group of men wearing masks swiftly appearing together with the masked men as they fought against the other dancers.

"Lili, your arm is bleeding."

Seeing that reinforcements had arrived, Dou Xiangling redirected her focus onto Lisa's bleeding arm.

The cut was not very deep, but blood continuously seeped out.

Dou Xiangling was about to cry from distress. She hastily took out a silk handkerchief from her pockets and carefully bandaged Lisa's arm.

She said without a care, "I'm fine, it's just a small wound."

She then pulled her hand. "Let's leave here first."

Dou Xiangling nodded.

The two of them evaded the people fighting and quickly headed outside.

After they left the backyard, the front yard was unexpectedly encircled by a group of masked men.

The customers had already all fled at that moment.

When they saw Lisa and Dou Xiangling coming out, they did not say anything and directly made way for them to leave.

Dou Zerui was blocked outside, and he was extremely anxious.

The moment he saw Lisa and Dou Xiangling coming out, he hastily walked towards them and checked them up and down. Seeing blood stains on her arm, his expression turned dark.
 "Lili, what's with your arm?"

"I'm fine. You two should leave first. I still have something to do here."

Dou Zerui furrowed his brows. "No, you have to leave with us. It's too dangerous here. I'll send you to the hospital first."

"There's no need, I have band-aids in my car."

"How are band-aids sufficient for such a long cut!"

Lisa knew they would not be reassured to leave her behind here. She thought for a moment, and apologized before she directly used her mental energy to control them. "Go back first."

The Dou siblings turned and headed for the car.

After seeing Dou Zerui's car driving away, Lisa made a detour.
