Chapter 30: Stronger Than Her
As soon as the man in black landed, he raised his eyes and quickly stabbed at him with a silver needle, his black eyes suddenly narrowed, and immediately, he flipped sideways in the air, and dodged the attack of the silver needle in time!
As soon as he froze down, a short sword was dangerously across his neck, he turned his head slightly, glanced at the short sword shining with cold light around his neck, and then raised his head, he said, "It's a pity that I couldn't kill you that day." ”
Shen Yunxi chuckled and said, "I think too." ”
"Did you know that I would come today?" The corners of the black-clothed man's lips were slightly hooked, with a hint of mockery. seems to be self-deprecating, and seems to be laughing at Shen Yunxi.
Shen Yunxi pursed the corners of his lips and said, "No." I just thought you wouldn't give up so easily, so I'm always on guard. ”
Then, glancing at the short sword in his hand, he continued, "However, after today, I won't need to be wary of you. ”
The man in black listened to these words thoroughly, and then, a touch of darkness crossed his eyes, he looked at her, and said coldly: "It's a pity, you underestimate me too much." ”
As soon as the words fell, Shen Yunxi felt a numb wrist, and before she could react, the short sword in her hand instantly fell into the hands of the man in black.
Shen Yunxi panicked, staring at the man in black with a wary expression, and in the dark, she couldn't see the look on his face clearly. However, the aura of danger that lingered around him was so strong.
In the next second, she felt a chill in her neck, lowered her eyes, and saw that the short sword that was still on his neck was already across her neck at this moment!
"Are you scared?" He asked mockingly.
Shen Yunxi sneered, looked at him, and said calmly: "This question is a bit redundant. ”
The man in black sneered, as if he had expected Shen Yunxi to have such an attitude.
Then, the short sword moved away from her neck, went down with the momentum, and picked up the thin black rope around her neck, and suddenly, the jade pendant jumped out of the crack of her clothes, and the man in black glanced at it lightly, and said to her: "You might as well tell me the origin of this jade pendant, I may not kill you, not only today, but also in the future." ”
Shen Yunxi lowered his eyes and glanced at the jade pendant, lifted his eyes and said to the man in black: "It's that easy? There was a bit of disbelief in the words. After a pause, she asked, "Or is it actually your real purpose tonight?" "If that's the case, it means that this jade pendant must be extremely important to him, otherwise he would never say that he wouldn't kill her.
The lips hidden under the black face towel rose slightly, and said with a smile: "It is worthy of Miss Shen, a guess hits." ”
Since she had already guessed the purpose of his opening this time, it seemed superfluous to threaten her with a sword. Yes, as he spoke, he withdrew his dagger.
Shen Yunxi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then turned around to fetch the candle, she was not willing to talk to him without seeing it. In this way, she is passive. It didn't feel like she liked it.
But apparently, the man in black had already guessed her thoughts, and he stopped her by saying "No need to go get the lamp." All you have to do is answer me, and I'll be gone. ”
Shen Yunxi stopped, turned his head slightly, and said to him domineeringly, "But I have other things to say." Then he paid no attention to him, and turned back and took the candle that was placed on the table.
There was a 'snort', the candle was lit, and the room was suddenly darkened with a dim light.
Shen Yunxi sat down at the table with a candlestick, looked up and asked the man in black who was standing at the other end, "You knew me before?" However, it didn't seem right to think about it, she took out the jade pendant again and said to him: "Or, do you know this jade pendant?" ”
The man in black didn't seem to want to say more, so he only said coldly: "You don't have to answer my question just now, and you don't need to ask anything else." ”
Shen Yunxi stared at him closely, and didn't rush to reply to his words, after half a ring, she suddenly laughed and said, "You don't have to pretend to be deep, you don't want me to say more and ask more, in fact, you think I'm delaying time, and then wait for Long Jiu and them to come in and catch you." Isn't it? ”
The man in black snorted coldly and said, "Since I dare to come, it means that I am fully prepared." Last time, Long Jiu only narrowly beat me, but today Feng Qingchen is not in the mansion, and Long Jiu may not have a chance to beat me. ”
Sure enough, he was prepared, and even Feng Qingchen was not in the mansion. It seems that he is really not an ordinary person.
Come to think of it, she doesn't have much room for nonsense.
"Okay. I'll tell you the truth. Shen Yunxi nodded, stood up with his hands propped up, faced the man in black, and said, "Since this jade pendant is on my body, it already means that it is mine." It has been with me since the day I was born. ”
Hearing this, the man in black did not speak, only lowered his eyelids.
Shen Yunxi continued: "Actually, you already know this answer. It's just that you are unwilling, unwilling that this jade pendant will be mine, because of its importance to you, you can't kill me, but if you don't kill me, you feel that you have spared Feng Qingchen, and you can't get over the hurdle of revenge on him. That's why they sneaked into the palace to ask me. Just to give myself an excuse not to kill me. ”
The man in black raised his head and said to her, "Did I say too much just now?" His tone was flat, not the slightest hint of sarcasm or anything.
"So, am I right?" Shen Yunxi smiled lightly and said, "So what is the origin of this jade pendant with you?" "I'm sorry she's not the owner of this body, she really didn't know what happened before, so she had to ask him.
"......" The man in black was about to speak back to her when there was a sudden knock on the door, "Miss, are you asleep?" ”
The man in black glanced back at the door, and then whispered to Shen Yunxi, "I'll come back to you another day." With that, he jumped out of the window and disappeared into the night.
Looking at the slightly moving window, Shen Yunxi pursed his lips and turned around to open the door.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Shuang'er turned around, "Miss, I thought you were asleep." ”
"Something?" Shen Yunxi asked briefly.
Shuang'er nodded, "Miss, tomorrow is the day to go back, will the prince accompany us back tomorrow?" ”
Shen Yunxi was slightly stunned, he was so busy with Ning Meng's case that he almost forgot about this important day.
It's just, Feng Qingchen accompanied her back?
Belch...... Thinking about being in the Reflecting Moon Pavilion, he hadn't looked at her since she said that, and he had left indifferently. Come to think of it, he probably won't accompany her back.
Even if this scene didn't happen, he might not go back with her.
After coming back to his senses, Shen Yunxi said to Shuang'er: "Whether he goes or not, we have to go back." Tomorrow you prepare early, and we will go back early. ”
"It's good. Then I won't hinder the young lady from resting, and I'll go back to my room. Shuang'er nodded in agreement, then turned to leave.
Shen Yunxi closed the door, lay back on the bed, took out the jade pendant, and stared at it tightly, in fact, she just asked casually about the last question, after all, she was not the real owner of this jade pendant, and she didn't care so much about some things. It's just, out of curiosity, to ask.
Then, suddenly remembering something, she frowned, put away the jade pendant after thinking for a while, closed her eyes and rested.
She has to take good care of this jade pendant, maybe she can use it in the future.
It is said that after the man in black left the broken jade xuan, he did not leave the palace immediately, he evaded the guards of the night vigil and went to the backyard.
