Chapter 39 Honesty is a Virtue
"I have never doubted the doctrine of the Cult."
The man clutched his left shoulder, where his left arm was supposed to be, and blood was dripping from the air.
"Darch, I know."
The woman smiled faintly and opened her hands to the man.
"So, I had to do it, and now you are the most deserving person in this world that I should kill."
"Dache, I know, let's do it."
"But ......"
"Let's do it."
In the next moment, the blade pierced through the body, and blood soaked the man's body and face.
Then...... Xue Qing opened her eyes suddenly, and then suddenly rose from her turnover, her face that had not changed for thousands of years showed a little panic, but soon disappeared again. She stretched out her hand, wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, then looked at the room around her, which seemed to have no breath of human existence, sighed slowly, and then walked out of bed.
"It's time to go find the roses."
β¦β¦
Midnight.
Yan Yuan didn't fall asleep, he sat on the bed in a serious dress, waiting for the window to be kicked open again. It hadn't been long since the cold killing had caused chaos in his room the day before yesterday, and the windows and bed boards in that room hadn't been repaired yet! It's just that these little things didn't make any waves in front of the ingot of silver that Yan Yuan gave (to be precise, Xue Qing gave), and the innkeeper had an excellent attitude (half because of the ingot, half because of fear), and even took the initiative to change Yan Yuan's room.
But when the time arrived, the poor window of the second room did not suffer again, but opened the door on the side! Yan Yuan was stunned, subconsciously looked at the person who walked in from the door, and the next moment he clearly saw Xue Qing's expressionless face. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked a little speechlessly, "Why did you come in through the door?!" How can there be an assassin who walks through the door?! β
"Why not?" Xue Qing tilted his head, "Isn't the door built just for people to enter and exit?" β
"That being said, but you're an Assassin! You're even called the King of Assassins! Shouldn't the profession of an assassin be high and high, sliding doors and picking locks? How could there be an assassin who came in through the gate with such regularity? β
"Didn't you?" Xue Qing frowned.
"Uh......" Yan Yuan hesitated, because he had also walked in from the gate and killed the "great cause" of killing all the family, so he was also a little hesitant at this time, but the fact that Xue Qing chose to leave the door still aroused his great desire to complain, making it difficult for him to suppress, "All in all!" You're acting weird, okay?! Did you walk in front of the innkeeper? β
"In a way, but he should only think he sees a shadow." Xue Qing said lightly, and then raised his eyebrows, "If you don't like it, then I'll come in through the window the day after tomorrow, I don't care." β
"No, no, no, no, you better go through the door."
"Oh." Xue Qing nodded, and then took down the knife she was carrying behind her back, in addition to her overgrown long knife, she also carried a normal-sized long knife on her back, and then she threw this knife to Yan Yuan with the scabbard, "Oh, the weapon you want." β
"Oooh!" Yan Yuan took the long knife and infused his true qi into it, and at the same time
With a few waves, he briefly felt its size and weight, "Is it a magic weapon?" Is there any ability? What is your name? β
"The name of the knife is dawn, and it is a magic weapon." Xue Qing pulled a chair and sat down, and said, "The ability is a light blade, when you input true qi, a light blade will light up on the side of the blade, and the cutting force is very strong...... Yes, it's like that. β
Yan Yuan excitedly pulled out the dawn as if he had a new toy, and watched its blade glow dazzlingly, and swung the lightsaber several times in the small space of the room before finally giving up, returning the knife to the scabbard, and then smacking his lips regretfully and said, "It's a pity that it's not as good as Sakura and Gem." β
"I'll only be able to get you this one for the time being, and when the time comes to act, I might be able to buy you a better knife."
"No, this is good." Yan Yuan waved his hand, "It's good to use it, I don't eat equipment." β
"Oh."
Since Yan Yuan said it, Xue Qing naturally didn't have any extra opinions, just nodded and crossed over the topic. And Yan Yuan also put away the dawn, frowned and looked at Xue Qing, after these two meetings, he had already preliminarily figured out the character of this woman, and after thinking about it, he decided not to play with her, and get along directly: "What should we do next?" β
"Let's just do some intelligence sharing today." Xue Qing said lightly, and then asked lightly, "What is the relationship between you and Yan Yuyan?" I witnessed the meeting between the two of you. β
"Poof! Ahem, ahem! Yan Yuan coughed violently a few times, and then asked weakly, "Then what is the relationship between you and Luo Daqi?" β
"Rodache is my stepfather."
ββ¦β¦ So what does the Hunting Cult do in Nanjing City? β
"They're creating the last man-made god, an man-made god who gathers the wrong experience of all the man-made gods before them, and uses this to achieve their ultimate goal of hunting the cult!"
"......" The corners of Yan Yuan's mouth twitched slightly, he was silent for a long time, and finally asked in an incredulous tone, "Why are you all so honest?" Why is this kind of thing so easy to say? Doesn't the word secrecy exist in your mind? Your life is too simple, isn't it? β
"No, I think it's your life that is too complicated, not only you, but all your so-called strategists and wise men, your life is complicated, and you have lived in lies, speculation and doubts all your life. It's very unproductive to live like this. Xue Qing pursed his lips, "I've always said something." β
"Okay, you're ruthless, you're all ruthless." Yan Yuan smacked his lips, "Then why did you assassinate Luo Daqi?" And...... You've been assassinated more than once, haven't you? Why? β
He narrowed his eyes, stared at Xue Qing and asked, his question was well-founded, this was the information he had learned in the conversation with Yan Yuyan before:
"Sister Xue is the adopted daughter of the sect leader, or an existence similar to an adopted daughter. Sister Xue grew up in the church headquarters when she was a child, and she was a well-established Hunting Sect, but when she grew up, she didn't know why she left the Hunting Sect and left Rodache. It's just that the relationship between the two of them didn't end because of this. The sect leader still regards Sister Xue as his daughter, and Sister Xue is still the sect leader's daughter, and their relationship seems to be okay...... But Sister Xue would try to assassinate Rodache from time to time, and I had even seen it several times
, Every time the sect leader didn't let others help, only one person dealt with Sister Xue, but Sister Xue didn't have this kind of restriction, she would bring an assistant to assist in the assassination almost every time. β
"Oh, so this is a father-daughter play? It's not going to be a killer! β
"No, every time, every knife is 100% serious! Sister Xue really wanted to kill Luo Daqi, and the sect leader also seemed to really want to kill Sister Xue, and only when it was the final blow did Luo Daqi stop. Therefore, every such assassination will end in Xue Qing being seriously injured. As for the assistant...... Well, at least every assistant I've ever met was killed by Rodache in the end, so be blessed, brother! β
When Yan Yuan heard this, his heart was cold!
He didn't want to get involved in the cannibalism of Xue Qing and Luo Daqi, a strange father and daughter, and die inexplicably! And at least ...... At least let him die, right?
Xue Qing frowned, but soon let go of it again and said indifferently, "No comment." β
"Isn't it?! What about honesty? What do you say?! β
"Because I have no comment, I said I have no comment."
"Hey!?"
"Heh, just kidding." Xue Qing chuckled, she smiled beautifully, but she almost didn't smile, Yan Yuan had seen such a pure smile for the first time since he saw her, "But the reason for this is very complicated, it can't be explained clearly in a day, I can tell you slowly." β
"You're still joking......" Yan Yuan muttered, then shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands and said, "Okay." β
"Well, before telling the story." Xue Qing put away his smile, also stared at Yan Yuan, and said indifferently: "Information exchange." β
"Ahh Oh, Yan Yuyan is my sister, and my relationship with the Three Holy Maidens of the Hunting Sect is not bad...... By the way, you won't do anything to the three of them if you assassinate Rodac, right? β
"No, our fight won't involve the three of them, don't worry." Xue Qing waved his hand, "Also, what is that aura on your body?" β
ββ¦β¦β
Yan Yuan was silent, and he began to use his brain, thinking about what kind of breath the cold killing execution was talking about! He thought about it for a while, but he couldn't come to a conclusion, because the aura that might exist on his body was a little smallβhalf of the innate spirit treasure, Mr. Yat-sen's breath, the breath of Dragon Slayer, the breath of his wife Ruan Yin, and even the injuries caused by the Void Plain Girl's actions against him were not completely healed, and there might be residual breath...... He was a little unsure, so he asked tentatively, "That...... What are you talking about? β
"It's not the breath of those chaotic Heavenly Steps, it's the breath of a few treasures."
- It's the four stars! Isn't it said that they are not combined together, but they are just the level of acquired spirit treasures? Is she a dog? How do you ask the breath of the acquired spirit treasure that has not been activated...... Oh, I used Lu Cun two days ago, did she feel it because of this?
In the pursuit battle a few days ago, Yan Yuan used Lu Cun to get the long knife that he barely had in his hand, and by the way, he found a group of clues to the enemy, and now he can only think that it was this act that exposed the spiritual treasure he was carrying!
"This breath will be bad, let me help you cover it up." Xue Qing said lightly, and then raised the two-meter-long knife and suddenly unsheathed!
"it?!"
Slash it out!
