The next day, she was walking on the road when an old man pushing a cart suddenly hit a stone. Coupled with the slippery stone floor, the cart tilted and she was brought to the ground.
The female assassin frowned slightly. She took a few steps forward and arrived beside her. She reached out to support her and pulled the cart.
Before the old woman could come back to her senses and thank her, she passed by her and walked into the distance.
Not far away, Ning Chen, who was squatting under a tree and eating a stick of candied haws, saw this scene.
……
On the third day.
The female assassin came to a dark alley. Soon, several assassins wearing bamboo hats and masks appeared around her.
"Daren wants you to speed up. Don't forget, other than this mission, you still have another mission. If you want to be worthy of the Startling Salamander Sword in your hand, you have to prove your worth.”The leading male assassin said coldly.
"Of course I know. Go back and tell Milord that I will definitely complete the mission.”The female Assassin coldly said, then turned around and left.
……
On the fourth day.
When she passed by an alley, a girl's paper kite was hanging on a tree branch. She was sitting under it and crying.
After she walked past it, the treetops suddenly split open, and the paper kite fell down.
The girl caught the falling paper kite in surprise and broke into a smile.
……
On the fifth day, it was sunny.
She was hiding on a roof, watching everyone passing by below. Almost no ordinary people noticed her existence.
Ning Chen leisurely walked to the roof with a lacquer box in his hand. He looked up at her and smiled.
"The snacks from Spiced Restaurant taste good. Do you want to come down and have a taste?”
She looked at him coldly."
"I don't want to know about your matters, and please don't interfere with mine.”
Ning Chen looked at her and smiled."
"I want to talk to you."
"I have nothing to talk to you about."
"Oh, then don't blame me for not knowing what's good for you.”
Ning Chen said as he picked up the box and turned to leave.
The sound of an object falling could be heard behind him. The corners of Ning Chen's mouth curled up slightly.
"What do you want to talk about?" The female assassin looked at Ning Chen in frustration. If she could reach that level, she really wanted to chop off his head with her sword to save him from being so annoying.
"There's a pretty good teahouse on the stone bridge in front. It's quite elegant and quiet. Let's go there.”Ning Chen said as he walked over, the female assassin following behind him.
If I attack now, can I kill him in one strike?
The female assassin thought to herself as she looked at his defenseless back. Then, her gaze involuntarily fell on the snow-white sword at his waist.
That sword looked like Bai Li, who was ranked 15th in the sword manual.
the female assassin thought.
The organization had spent a lot of manpower and resources to find this sword, but they did not expect it to be in his hands…
They arrived at the teahouse under the stone bridge.
Ning Chen sat down at a wooden table under a willow tree and placed the lacquer box on the table.
"Sir, do you want something to drink?" The waiter walked over and asked.
"A pot of tea and two tea bowls."
"Alright, I'll serve it to you now."
The waiter looked at the approaching female assassin with a stunned expression. Then, he lowered his head and walked away quickly.
"Have a seat." Ning Chen said.
The female assassin sat down beside him and placed the Startling Salamander Sword on her lap. She looked at him with her sharp eyes.
"You can tell me now. What do you want to talk to me about?”
His voice was cold, revealing the coldness of a stranger.
Ning Chen opened the three-layered lacquer box and took out three wooden boxes filled with different pastries. He placed them on the wooden table and said,
"I'm quite interested in you and your sword. My name is Ning Chen, what's yours?”
"I don't have a name." she said coldly.
Ning Chen chuckled." I heard that most of the assassins in your organization don't have names. Only a few people who hold ancient swords use the name of the sword as their name. Since you hold one of the eight swords of Yue Ba, the Startling Salamander Ancient Sword, you should also be named Startling Salamander."”
"Since you know, why ask?”The female assassin said in frustration. If she wasn't afraid that he would ruin her plan, she would have left right now.
Ning Chen picked up a piece of osmanthus cake and put it into his mouth. As he chewed, he said,
"Heavenly Slaughter, Evil Demons, and Monsters. Since you have the Ancient Sword of the Startling Salamander, one of the eight swords of Yue Ba, your status in your organization isn't low. You should be ranked as a heaven-tier assassin.”
"Even if you kill me, don't even think about getting anything out of me.”
The woman's tone was cold. As she spoke, she narrowed her eyes and looked at Ning Chen.
"Aren't you afraid of getting yourself killed by prying into the organization's secrets?”
Ning Chen shook his head and smiled. He picked up another peach blossom cake and waved it in front of her."You're afraid of the organization you're in, but I'm not. So what if I provoke them?”
"I don't know if I should call you a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger, or an ignorant person that is not afraid." The inescapable net was everywhere. Whether it's the top experts in the martial world or the dignitaries of the seven countries, as long as they're targeted by the organization, they won't rest until they die…"
"Sir, the tea is here."
The waiter's voice interrupted her words. As if she realized that she had said something she shouldn't have said, the woman stopped talking.
Then, she stood up. Under the waiter's surprised gaze, she looked coldly at Ning Chen and said,
"If you continue to pester me or interfere with my matters, no matter what your identity is, you and I will not rest until one of us dies.”
After she finished speaking, she left directly, her figure swaying mesmerizingly.
"The net…I just happen to lack opponents to practice my sword. How can the sword in my hand have a murderous aura if it doesn't drink blood?”
Ning Chen looked down at the reflection of the green tea in the teacup in front of him and smiled. The White Li Sword at his waist vibrated.
