After Transmigrating into a book, I Was Played By a Black Lotus

Chapter 46 Mutual Arguments

Bai Xiying suddenly recalled when Lin Xingzhu had casually caught sight of the dagger hidden in her bag and had advised her before.

It was the same sentiment she had just expressed—choose self-defense tools that are more beneficial to yourself.

But for Bai Xiying, the weapon she was most familiar with was still the sharp dagger.

After pondering for two seconds, she lifted Lin Xingzhu's hand that hung at her side and gently poked her clenched knuckles, saying, 'Xingzhu, don't worry. I'm really good at using it.'
