Ning Chen handed her the grilled fish in his hand. She did not refuse and reached out to take it.
Although she didn't want to eat his food at first, later on…
Mmm, it smells so good.
Ning Chen looked at her, who was eating the grilled fish in small bites. Her usually cold and beautiful face would occasionally reveal a satisfied expression that he did not notice.
"Let me give you a name." Ning Chen suddenly said.
"Otherwise, it's not convenient to call me that.”
The female assassin raised her head and looked at him. She frowned slightly and then nodded lightly.
"What do you want to call me?"
Ning Chen thought for a moment and said," Let's call you Ling. The fierce Ling, and my surname, Ning Ling. How about that?"”
The female assassin glanced at him and took a bite of the fish.""The name is not bad, but I don't need a surname. Although I'm an orphan adopted by the organization, I used to have a name. I've forgotten my first name, but I still remember my surname.”
"Oh, what's your surname?"
"Tian."
The female assassin, no, Tian Ling said.
Tian…
Ning Chen narrowed his eyes.
As expected, she had an unusual relationship with Tian Yan.
"Have you heard of the name Tian Yan?”Ning Chen pretended to ask casually.
"No, I don't like to hear people's names. The targets are all dead people, so I don't need to remember their names.”As Tian Ling spoke, he paused and looked at Ning Chen."Why did you suddenly ask me this name?”
"Nothing. I just think that this name sounds pretty good. By the way, isn't it uncomfortable that your clothes are stuck to your body? Sigh, let me help you.”Ning Chen changed the topic. He raised his right hand and formed a seal.
Then, under her surprised gaze, streams of water vapor flowed out from her wet clothes and hair. In a short while, her entire body became dry and refreshing.
"This is…a spell?" Tian Ling could not help but ask.
"I guess so." Ning Chen released his hand seal and began to destroy the grilled fish in his hand.
"I've always been curious. Who are you? At first, I thought that you were one of the successors of Haunted Valley, but later I found out that it was not like that. Your internal energy is illusory but dense like the sea, which is definitely different from the internal energy cultivated by the rumored Haunted Valley breathing technique.”Tian Ling's beautiful eyes landed on his face and asked. "Where are you from?"
Ning Chen scratched his head with his free hand. He then waved his hand at the pool not far away. A ball of water rose from it and condensed into a word under Tian Ling's surprised gaze.
"Dao…you're a Daoist?"
Tian Ling looked at him.
Ning Chen nodded.
"Daoist Heavenly Sect? Or a Human Grandmaster? The Heaven Sect doesn't care about the affairs of the world, so you're from the Human Sect?”Tian Ling asked.
Ning Chen smiled." Although the Heaven Sect doesn't care about worldly affairs, it doesn't mean that there are no people who have left the mountain.”
" Daoist Heavenly Sect…" Tian Ling stared at him in a daze.
"Not bad." Ning Chen stood up and threw the wooden skewer that only had the fish bones left into the fire. Then, the Dao character on the water surface fell onto the fire under his internal energy control and extinguished it.
"Let's go." Ning Chen smiled at her and walked towards the donkey that was eating grass by a tree not far away.
Tian Ling followed with the Startling Salamander Ancient Sword in hand.
On the mountain road, the two of them walked side by side.
"If you continue north, you will be out of Chu. Where do you plan to go?”Tian Ling looked at the white-robed youth beside him and asked.
"I'm just taking a walk. The world is big, so I'll go wherever I want.”Ning Chen said without hesitation.
Tian Ling did not speak.
————
Another day passed.
When the two of them passed by a mountain, Tian Ling suddenly rushed in a direction.
Ning Chen followed in surprise.
When they reached there, Ning Chen saw that she was being controlled by a middle-aged man in purple. He had never seen her expression before. It was one of shock, panic, and confusion…It was very complicated. The ancient sword of the Startling Salamander was stabbed into the ground, and the middle-aged man in purple was holding a sword that surprised Ning Chen.
"Hanguang?"
Ning Chen couldn't help but ask.
The purple-robed middle-aged man looked at him and smiled warmly.
"Good eyesight."
Then, he let go of Tian Ling." Since you've already betrayed us, there's no need to fight to the death with us.”
As he spoke, he walked towards the boy who was about eight or nine years old and sitting cross-legged on the grass.
"Is what you said just now true?" Tian Ling asked him with a complicated expression.
He paused and turned his head sideways.”
Ning Chen watched as her hands slowly clenched into fists.
"What's wrong?" Ning Chen looked at her and asked.
" It's nothing…" Tian Ling lowered her head with her back facing him. Then, as if she had made a decision, she looked up at the purple-robed middle-aged man in front of her."Sir, please take me as your disciple."
The middle-aged man who walked to the boy's side turned to look at her."Have you thought it through?"
"Yes." Tian Ling, who had his back to Ning Chen, had a determined look in his eyes.
The purple-robed middle-aged man looked at her. The boy beside him pulled his hand. The middle-aged man lowered his head and looked at him. Then, he smiled gently at Tian Ling and said,"Alright, then come with us.”
"What's going on?"
Ning Chen asked as he led the donkey to her back.
Tian Ling's back was facing him as he said calmly,
"It's just what it looks like. I'll leave with Master in the future. You can continue on your own.”
After saying that, she walked towards the purple-robed middle-aged man and the boy.
Ning Chen glanced at the middle-aged man. He was looking at him with a warm smile. Ning Chen wanted to sense his inner breath, but it was like a cloud of nothingness, making it impossible to sense its boundaries.
An expert, an absolute expert.
Chi Songzi and the Six-fingered Black Swordsman were the only ones who gave Ning Chen such a feeling.
The person in front of him was definitely a grandmaster.
He even had the Sword of Concealment in his hand. Who was he?
Ning Chen couldn't help but think.
"Since you've already made your decision, then let's do it this way. It might be safer to stay by his side than me.”Ning Chen looked at Tian Ling, who had his back to him, and said in a desolate tone. He then turned around and led the donkey down the mountain.
From the beginning to the end, Tian Ling did not turn his head to look at him.
With a blade of grass in his mouth, Ning Chen lay on the donkey with his head resting on his arms and looked up at the sky. He felt as if something was missing in his heart and felt a little disappointed.
"Sigh, there are so many worries in the human world."
He picked up the red wine gourd hanging beside the donkey, popped the cork, and poured the wine into his mouth.
Today is a good day to drink.
I can't drown my sorrows until I'm drunk.
