Crown Prince Manor.
"Are you a first-rate expert?"
Looking at the slender, weak, and boneless girl who was only five years older than him, Ying Zheng could not help but ask curiously.
In the past few years in Zhao, he had no way to come into contact with these high-level people.
This was because the mother and son had always been wanted. In the first three to four years, they would change places almost every few days.
In the next two years, because the relationship between Qin and Zhao had eased, they had a relatively stable place to live.
But even so, he was often bullied.
It was already good enough that he could learn knowledge over the years. At most, he could practice sword techniques to strengthen his body. He also had a Yang Art that his mother had passed down to him to build his foundation.
However, due to the lack of guidance and resources, coupled with his young age, he could not cultivate for a long time, so his progress was not great.
It was only yesterday that he took the pill and reached third-grade.
Now that he saw a girl who was only five or six years older than him was actually a first-class expert in the world, he could not help but be curious.
"This should be it."
Startling Salamander looked at the handsome youth in front of him and hesitated for a moment before saying.
Because she didn't know about it herself.
In the Network training base, her only goal was to cultivate and kill.
He didn't need to think about other things.
Protecting Ying Zheng was her first official mission.
From a very young age, she had received all kinds of training in the Network.
Cultivation, disguise, acting, concealment.
For this reason, he even learned dance, piano, and knowledge.
And the ultimate goal of all these was to kill.
Lu Buwei was his master.
She only obeyed Lu Buwei's orders.
This was her first mission.
It was not the killing mission that she was most familiar with, but a completely different mission.
Protection.
Therefore, he was at a loss for a moment.
However, she was used to being cold and emotionless, so no one could tell.
"Should be?"
Ying Zheng gave it a careful look, his eyes flashing slightly, but he did not ask any more questions.
"Does the name Salamander represent the Frightening Salamander?”
Ying Zheng asked again. Although he had already confirmed it in his heart, he still wanted to know the answer from the Startling Salamander.
"How did you know?"
Hearing this, the girl's cold face showed surprise for the first time, but she quickly regained her coldness." I haven't obtained this sword yet, so it's called Salamander.”
She was a killer, and she only had a mission. She did not need to ask questions or reasons. Therefore, she no longer wondered why Ying Zheng, who had just arrived in Xianyang, knew some secrets of the Network.
From top to bottom, the inner parts of the net were Heaven, Kill, Earth, Absolute, Chi, Mei, Bi, and Liang.
And he was the youngest Heaven-rank assassin.
The net only had a goal, not friends. There was only a mission, not friendship.
The name of the net sword slave was the sword. The sword was life, and it would not be easily handed over to others.
The mission was more important than anything else, including his life.
A man could die, but a sword could not.
And she was the one who had been specially chosen to inherit one of the eight swords of Yue Ba, the Startling Salamander Sword.
Looking at the change in the young girl's expression, Ying Zheng smiled and said," I will find this sword for you, and only you are qualified to use it. Now, your name shall be Startling Salamander.”
The Startling Salamander was slightly stunned, but it still frowned and said coldly,""I don't have this sword yet, and my current strength is not enough to use it. Before I'm qualified, I'll be called Salamander.”
The Startling Salamander was determined.
But Ying Zheng was even more insistent than her." I like to call you by this name, so you can only call me by this name.”
Although Ying Zheng's face was young and looked like he was only eight or nine years old, and he did not look intimidating at all. Instead, he looked like he was throwing a childish tantrum. However, for some reason, when he looked at those pitch-black eyes, it made the Startling Salamander's heart tremble slightly.
The Startling Salamander opened its mouth and wanted to continue refuting, but the young man opposite seemed to be waiting for her to refute, treating this as a game. This made the Startling Salamander choose to remain silent.
She had her own insistence, but for some reason, she did not want Ying Zheng's evil scheme to succeed, and she did not want to give Ying Zheng a chance to continue refuting.
"Did you compromise?"
A trace of regret appeared on Ying Zheng's face.
The Startling Salamander's eyes revealed an expression as if it had expected this. A tsundere look flashed across its face as if it had seen through everything."Sir asked me to protect you. During the mission, you can call me whatever you want.”
"Just a mission?"
Ying Zheng murmured, then came back to his senses and said playfully,""What if I call you Cat or Dog? Which name do you like?"
Ying Zheng circled around the salamander, and curiously touched its tight-fitting fish-scale armor, as well as the fishnet-like hollowed silk on its shoulder, while boasting,""Your clothes are very nice."
The Startling Salamander's skin trembled slightly, and its entire body tensed up. This was a feeling she had never experienced before. It was itchy, a little heart-scratching, and very uncomfortable.
However, when he thought of the mission, he suppressed his desire to kill the person in front of him.
"If you like it, I can give it to you."
The Startling Salamander endured the discomfort and said coldly.
"For me?"
Ying Zheng took a step back, crossed his arms in front of his chest, and said with an amused look," Are you going to take it off in front of me?”
"If you need it, you can."
Startling Salamander didn't hesitate because she had been trained cruelly since she was young. In her eyes, there were no men or women, only the living and the dead.
However, her appearance and gender made it easier for her to complete her mission. For example, if she were to follow Ying Zheng now, no one would pay attention to a maidservant if there were really assassins around, because she could protect Ying Zheng better.
However, Ying Zheng choked on his words, and a rare look of embarrassment appeared on his face." This dress looks better on you."”
"However, you still need to change your clothes. I can tell at a glance that you're wearing these clothes to protect me. I hope that the Network has taught you how to hide yourself and protect others.”
"I understand. I won't let anyone hurt you.”
The Startling Salamander lowered its head slightly and did not continue the previous topic, nor did it take off its clothes in front of him.
The young boy in front of her seemed a little annoying, but she didn't want to know more. She was only here to complete the mission. Other things had nothing to do with her.
Ying Zheng was also used to the girl's indifference, which was her personality, at least for now.
But the future would definitely change.
He liked to change certain things or people.
Looking at the tiny face of the Startling Salamander, Ying Zheng suddenly stretched out his hand in front of it, and pointed his palm at its face. After making a gesture, he let out a faint sigh and said," I wonder when my hand will be able to cover your face.”
After saying that, Ying Zheng did not wait for the Startling Salamander to answer, turned around and ordered,""Sister Dong 'er, take her away. We will set off for Yong City in three days.”
Yong City was the ancestral land of Great Qin, and the Ying Clan's ancestral hall was also in Yong City.
Even the succession of the new king and the ceremony of taking over the throne had to be held in Yong City's ancestral temple.
Even though Great Qin's territory had grown and the capital had moved to Xianyang, Harmony City was still where Great Qin had grown and could not be ignored.
Startling Salamander was baffled, but she didn't say anything. She turned around and left with a girl who looked similar to her.
