Su Xuan recognized from the assassin's physique that it wasn't Li Yuanyuan or Tang Tiantian, and he deliberately walked away quickly through the maze, avoiding any contact with her. This made it tough for the assassin Qiuyue; whenever she spotted Su Xuan and tried to strike, he was too quick, leaving her with only an afterimage.
Qiuyue was very patient, a necessary trait for an assassin to achieve anything significant. In the entire assassin world, Qiuyue's consistent principle was to keep her heart steady. She was renowned in the industry for her patience and perseverance. The idea that a mere maze could discourage the Assassin Qiuyue was utterly impossible.
Su Xuan seemed to be intentionally making an effort not to let the stranger catch up. Su Xuan was very skilled at this game, and it would be embarrassing for a pro to be caught by someone chasing after them.
It was a battle for pride, and Su Xuan wouldn't let the guy behind catch up.
