The Startling Salamander loosened its grip on the sword. He tied the Startling Salamander Sword to his waist, took the tea, and slowly took off the Rakshasa mask, gently pressing it on the table. It revealed a pure face that was like spring water flowing eastward.
It was like a mountain spring that had never been polluted, quiet, natural, and comfortable, making Ying Xuan's heart beat faster subconsciously.
Startling Salamander changed to holding the porcelain cup with both hands. This subtle movement seemed to reveal her cold and warm heart."I am the assassin of the Network. I will not rest until my target is dead.”
"I have to live in the darkness for the rest of my life, even if I have to step into the fate of death in the end. I don't know if I should have this child.”
Startling Salamander's heart wavered.
She began to voice the worries in her heart. She had already understood Ying Xuan's motive.
The State of Qin was such a mighty ruler, but the internal energy struggles had never stopped. He was now on Lu Buwei's side, and Ying Xuan had just said that the Second Young Master of the State of Qin must be on Ying Zheng's side.
Right now, she was just a chess piece. Her life and death could only be controlled by others on the chessboard. Now, the other chess piece was coming over to snatch her, trying to turn her into a chess piece on the other side.
But even though he understood, he still wanted to listen to Ying Xuan, because Ying Xuan had at least promised to give this child a good environment.
As for the Network, it was obvious that Lu Buwei would never agree to let his child live a good life.
In the best case scenario, Lu Buwei would be taken in and nurtured as another chess piece to do something more dangerous. The worst case scenario would be the same as her fate. She would be caught in the net from a young age and trained.
And become a cold-blooded killer.
There was no other choice. Ying Xuan's appearance had at least allowed the Startling Salamander to see the third option, which was also the best choice for this child.
After hearing what the Startling Salamander had said, Ying Xuan was very unhappy. The ones who lived in the dark were those low-level killers in the Network who made a living by killing.
She wasn't someone like Startling Salamander, who had started to release her maternal instincts after she was pregnant with Tian Yan. She casually raised her glass and took a sip."Sister Startling Salamander, have you ever thought about fighting for yourself?”
"Perhaps you've never thought of it this way, because the moment you picked up the Startling Salamander Sword, you only knew how to obey orders, carry out missions, and kill your targets.”
"Perhaps you feel that there's no meaning to it. Your life is only filled with killing. Even if you fight for yourself, you can't find a reason to fight for yourself.”
"Perhaps you don't think it's necessary. You feel that you've already shouldered too many lives, and you can't turn back in this life.”
"But sister, why don't you think about it? If you think you can't turn back, what about the baby in your stomach? She can always turn back, right?"
"If you don't think there's any meaning in fighting for yourself, then what about this baby?”
"You don't want her to be like you, living in the dark training camp of the Network on tenterhooks and living in blood and iron all day long, do you?”
"Impossible." Shocking Salamander blurted out subconsciously. In the next moment, her pretty face lowered slightly and her brows furrowed.
The words she subconsciously shouted out fully showed her fervent love for this child. How could she tolerate her own child entering the net and living such a cruel and bloody life?
When he thought of the future where his child would live in the net, he felt a bone-piercing cold. He couldn't help but lift his porcelain cup and drink a mouthful of hot water, wanting to dispel this evil cold.
Ying Xuan knocked his teacup on the table, making a slight noise.""Then, sister, come and help me?”
"I can let this child have a life of luxury and let her do what she wants. I'll guarantee her happiness."
Startling Salamander was slightly tempted, but as a mother, she was strong and tried her best to consider her child's well-being."How can I trust you? With your one-sided guarantee?”
"To put it bluntly, I went from being the sword of the net to becoming your sword. I did things for you and killed for you, but I still can't guarantee the child's future.”
Ying Xuan could understand the worry of the Startling Salamander. This was not something that could be proven with empty words, but Ying Xuan naturally had his own way."Actually, sister knows that she has no other choice.”
"If you stay in the Network, your child's future is almost destined. If you come to my side, there is still hope.”
"Even if sister doesn't trust me, why don't I make a bet with sister?”At this point, Ying Xuan's face was filled with strong confidence.
"What bet?" Startling Salamander didn't trust her. She felt that she was so paranoid that she couldn't trust anyone.
"It's very simple. I'll be pregnant for ten months, and within those ten months, I'll definitely kill Lu Buwei! Let me control the net!"
"At that time, sister will have nothing to worry about. She can go far away to the countryside and avoid us.”
"If we can't finish it, we definitely won't be able to take care of big sister.”
Shocking Salamander was dumbfounded. Killing Lu Buwei in ten months? Lu Buwei, who was currently in control of a portion of the imperial court? Did this child think that he could talk nonsense just because he was a child?
However, when he saw the strong confidence on his childish face, he believed that perhaps this little demon in front of him could really do it.
Considering that he had no other choice at the moment, the network was simply not trustworthy. And if it was really as Ying Xuan said, then after ten months, they would not have the time to care about him anymore, and he would be able to escape.
They simply agreed, and were willing to abandon the net and join Ying Xuan's camp!
