Chapter 9: The Shadow Assassin

Probably not?!

Xi Yan put down his wine glass and muttered to himself in a slightly suspicious tone. Even if you can see it clearly, it may be due to www.biquge.info the illusion of the dim candle flame in the store. He wasn't quite sure if Lieruba had manipulated Cassie's wine.

How?

It's nothing. Maybe I'm too careful.

Well.

Although he thought it was strange, Liulu, who was cold by nature, still didn't ask much, and continued to shake the wine glass as if thinking about something, his pupils condensed slightly.

The two fell silent.

From time to time, Xiyan looked at Lieruba and Cassie, and they didn't make any strange moves, but their heads were closer, and their lips squirmed as if they were communicating with each other.

I really watch too many TV series, and I don't know where I want to go.

laughing at himself in his heart, Xi Yan calmed down and continued to sip half a cup of dark blue. He'd never actually drunk alcohol, but the dark blue liquid felt more like a stimulant soda. The intense freshness erodes the taste buds and gives you the feeling of being on the beach in the hot summer.

Do you have any plans for tomorrow?

Hey?

Looking at Liulu in surprise, Xi Yan thought that this guy would not take the initiative to speak. However, seeing the feather in his hand that he didn't know when, Xi Yan suddenly understood in his heart, and said solemnly: Go to the street to inquire about some information, and by the way, familiarize yourself with the map and the buildings that are specially noted.

Good.

Having said that, talking to Liulu, Xiyan is really speechless. Unless it's a question, this guy's response is short to death, which really makes people feel embarrassed by a hot face sticking to a cold ass.

By the way, the last time I saw the description of your skill. You're a very special profession, alas.

OK.

What options are given to the voice that makes you sure of your profession?

Even though she tried to prolong the conversation, Xi Yan still asked the confusion in her heart.

If you insist on excreting a level, then the career of Xiyan's family of three is like an ordinary occupation, with no special features; Hitomi and Ryu are classified as hidden professions, both from the point of view of the name and the skill. Xinyin's... The golden title is closer to the bug! While feeling unfair, Xiyan was thinking about whether it would be because of the option. But his other option is to dance... No matter how you think about it, it's not a very serious profession.

...

Faced with this question, Liulu didn't speak immediately, a rare look of embarrassment appeared on his face, and he was silent for a moment before replying: Family affection, or love.

Affection? Aren't you an orphan?

Scold.

That's probably my heart's prayer.

Liulu drank the dark blue from the cup and said this, the corners of his mouth revealing a sigh of bitterness.

So what is your choice...

Affection.

After giving the answer, Liulu got up directly and walked to the back of the store without looking back. It is precisely because he chooses family affection and is full of expectations for it that he makes his heart impure, which leads to the incompleteness of the oracle that protects the true meaning.

Liulu is burdened with the guilt that gradually consumes himself, and the depth is endless.

...

Originally... It's not about choosing love.

With his hands on the dining table, Xi Yan leaned his head on it and muttered. It was a strange expression on his face that couldn't tell whether it was anger or joy. He was sure that he had a crush on Xinyin, and even if he had only had a brief contact, he just couldn't contain his affection. But then I think about it, Xinyin likes the flow of the law, and there is nothing better about herself than the flow of the law. To put it bluntly, it is self-esteem that is at work, and the teenager who has just started to move in spring is trouble.

One will turn his head to the left, the other will turn to the right, and Xi Yan repeats itself. Just when this thing was extremely entangled, a strange cry suddenly came out, and the owner of the voice was actually Cassie...

A sucker! A sucker! The master of Reruba is a fool! Why leave!

Yes, Xi Yan was sure that she had read and heard correctly. Cassie actually pulled Lieruba, who was in a posture of getting up and leaving, with tears on his face, shouting words that did not conform to the character setting.

Could this be the legendary tsundere?!

Because of Cassie's sudden move, it instantly attracted the unified attention of both customers and maids in the store.

How much tip does Cassie get, haha~!

Blessed are you, Reruba!

Cassie, what are you...?

The sounds of consternation and laughter were mixed and resounded, sweeping away the ambiguous atmosphere of scarlet love, as noisy as a bazaar.

Cassie, I really have to leave.

An elusive hint of triumph flashed in Reluba's eyes, and he smiled and said to Cassie in a gentle tone.

Nope! Nope! I want you to stay with me!

Cassie hugged Leruba with outstretched arms and buried her little head in his chest, shaking it incessantly.

Why don't you come with me?

...

Isn't it possible? My lovely Cassie.

No. Because it is the master of Leruba, it can ~!

Hearing the lovely and coquettish words in his arms, Reruba stroked Cassie's little head as he said yes, and was about to lead her away.

Kathy~!

Several other maids in the shop walked up to Reruba and shouted.

How? Are you going to stop me? That's Cassie's own will.

It's okay, everyone. Master Reruba won't hurt me.

Seeing this, everyone roughly saw that something was wrong. Although he felt that he couldn't let Cassie go, he couldn't think of a suitable reason to stop him for a while. The onlookers didn't mean to help, and they looked like they were watching a show.

If it's all right, we're leaving.

This...!

With a smug look on his face, Lieruba tilted his head and glanced at the slightly helpless maids in front of him.

it! This bastard must have done something in the wine!

Seeing Cassie's eyes that had lost their agility, Xiyan scolded in a low voice. Even if he feels that more is better than less, but seeing this situation with his own eyes, he will still not hesitate to take action. There is nothing more shameful than getting a girl by despicable means.

Slow, you can't take her away.

As he thought in his heart, Xi Yan stood up and said in an unquestioning tone.

Oh~ There are still guys who want heroes to save beauty.

Hehe. Where did the hairy boy come from?

Sister Katya's guest, you must not let Reruba take Cassie away. This old guy has always had bad intentions towards Cassie, and we suspect he did something to make Cassie what he is.

Ignoring the ridicule of the crowd, listening to the maids who came around to ask for help from him, Xiyan smiled and gave the word reassurance, and walked slowly towards Lieruba.

Who are you? How come I haven't seen you.

Lieruba reluctantly looked up at Xi Yan, who was slightly taller than himself, and said in a cautious tone. The difference in height will always be inexplicably inferior in momentum. However, it is more because of the latter's dress, a noble purple dress like the purest noble.

I? I'm a brave adventurer.

Xiyan, who didn't know how to introduce himself, suddenly remembered the words that the other party greeted when he first met Katie. So he thought that adventurers were great beings in this world, so he answered.

But this was just Xi Yan's wishful thinking, and it turned out that he guessed wrong. Adventurers are just thugs of the nobility, puppets who can be driven at will with money. A noble nobleman must not surrender himself to pretend to be an adventurer. Therefore, Xi Yan's words made the precaution in Lieluba's heart disappear in an instant.

Haha-! Someone actually said that he was an adventurer in front of the shadow assassin, Reruba. What stupidity!

Several guests who were familiar with Lieruba couldn't help but laugh out loud when they heard Xi Yan's words. This scene made Xi Yan's heart suddenly chuckle.

Boy, you're really interesting. But unfortunately, I hate you the most.

The voice did not fall, at the moment when Xiyan had no time to react. Relupa's body moved, flashing sideways at a speed that was invisible to the naked eye. With a faint tingling pain, a strand of his hair was gently separated, scattered in the air, and fell silently.

Now, can you get out of the way?

A cruel smile came out of the corner of Lieluba's mouth, and he blew on the dagger that appeared in his hand at some point, blooming with cold light, and said proudly.

There was no response, or that Xiyan couldn't respond now. At this moment, his body was completely soaked. For the first time, the cold feeling of death was so close to oneself. Although the HP has not decreased, Xi Yan knows that the ownership of his life is already in the hands of the man behind him.

Hehe.

Cassie, let's go.

Suddenly with a kind smile, Reruba beckoned to Cassie, as if everything everyone had just seen was a hallucination. But the dagger in his hand that flicked back and forth like a toy said, "That's not!"

Hmmm! Remruba master!

As if he couldn't see Xiyan or the scene that happened, Cassie's eyes at the moment reflected that there was only one person.

Just when everyone thought that the facts were a foregone conclusion, a hand suddenly grabbed Cassie who was passing by, and Xi Yan said firmly word by word: I said, you can't take her away!

Even when he said this, his body was trembling visibly. But Cassie struggled a few times, but he couldn't break free from the confinement imposed on him.

Boy, good! You've me off completely!

Reluba's face turned completely unkind, and his gloomy tone was like a lonely soul wandering in the shadows. The dagger thrown in mid-air was suddenly held in his hand, and with one step, it stabbed straight at Xiyan's heart.

Feeling the strong wind coming from her surroundings, Xiyan's consciousness strongly wanted to avoid it, but her body couldn't respond quickly. What's more, one of his hands was still holding Cassie, and the situation suddenly became bad.

It was too late, and just when Xi Yan felt that he was going to be finished, a pair of silver fist covered fists took a step forward and slammed into his chest.

Ahh

Under a black cloak, a sentence came out with a cute voice and content.
