Chapter Eighty-Seven: Talking Business
Bai Ling took the dark green purse and held it in his hand.
It's familiar to the touch.
Ever since he was imprisoned in the Penal Division, he had nothing outside of his body to keep. Bai Ling didn't expect to see this dark green purse again one day.
- Qu Guifei left her the last commemoration.
Wei Ying looked at the change in Bai Ling's expression, and was slightly surprised in his heart.
He looked at the old purse againβit seemed to be the most important of the three.
Bai Ling was silent for a long time, "...... What are Master Wei's conditions? β
Wei Ying looked at Bai Ling, "It seems that Xiao Siyao is ready to agree." β
"Not necessarily." Bai Ling said in a low voice, "Master Wei will talk about it first, and see if I can do it." β
Wei Ying laughed, "I still have a lot of confidence in Xiao Siyao...... I have two conditions: first, I want you to kill someone for me. β
Bai Ling immediately choked and coughed a few times.
"I heard you right...... Bai Ling frowned, "Master Wei...... What do you want me to do? β
"Kill someone for me." Wei Ying repeated it again.
"Kill whom?"
"Hengyuan-kun."
"......" Bai Ling glanced at Wei Ying a little inexplicably, her brows furrowed even tighter, "Master Wei, is it okay to confirm a few pieces of information with you?" β
"You speak."
Boling: "Where are we now?" β
Wei Ying: "Hundred flowers." β
Bai Ling: "What am I now?" β
Wei Ying: "The teacher is guilty." β
Bai Ling: "Do I know kung fu?" β
Wei Ying: "No, but if necessary, I can help." β
Bai Ling had a puzzled expression on his face, "...... For example, could you please sneak into Qinyuan late at night and stab Heng Yuanjun? β
Wei Ying: "Yes. β
Bai Ling took a deep breath, "What do you want me to do?" You can do it yourself tonight. β
Wei Ying laughed, "No, it can't be so simple......"
He hugged his arms, "I want you to kill Heng Yuanjun in the way of Heng Yuanjun, just like you killed Lin Jieyu in the same way you killed Lin Jieyu in the same way...... It has to be that way. β
Bai Ling: "......"
At this point, Bai Ling finally heard a clue about something.
She didn't speak for a while, and she followed Wei Ying's example, folding her hands in front of her chest.
Bai Ling looked down at the slowly moving crowd of people carrying lanterns on the ground in the distance, and then fell into deep thought in the night wind.
Wei Ying, where does the deep hatred come from......
"What about the second one?" Bai Ling suddenly spoke.
"Well, the second one is easier, just worship me as a teacher."
Bai Ling looked at Wei Ying again, and three question marks slowly appeared on his head again.
ββ¦β¦ What the? β
"Worship me as a teacher." Wei Ying smiled slyly, "I'm just an apprentice who doesn't have a good relationship, and I only met Xiao Siyao when I was old, so you should think about it?" β
Bai Ling laughed out loud, she held her face, and thought seriously for a while.
ββ¦β¦ Thank you Master Wei for your blue eyes, but no. β
This was slightly unexpected by Wei Ying, "Why?" β
"A book of impermanence, a dagger and a purse, Master Wei wants to take Heng Yuanjun's life and accept a smart apprentice by the way? It's a good deal, isn't it? Bai Ling shook his head resolutely, "No, no. β
"You can bargain." Wei Ying stretched out his hand and gestured, "Tell me, what do you think?" β
"Between me and Heng Yuanjun, Master Wei can only choose one." Bai Ling stretched out two fingers, "If you want to accept me as an apprentice, don't think about using me as a swordman; If you want to use me as a swordman, don't think that I will recognize you as a master...... It's as simple as that. β
"Oh," Wei Ying laughed, "What if I choose Heng Yuanjun?" β
"Then I won't agree, Master Wei will take it back."
Wei Ying grabbed a handful of his beard, "I thought you would be eager to get rid of the one in Qinyuan." β
"Hate is naturally hate," Bai Ling said softly, "but now, I can't afford to continue to put my life into it." β
Wei Ying snorted lightly, he looked at Bai Ling, "Then choose you, did you agree?" β
"Then we have to talk about it," Bai Ling said softly, "one will see what Master Wei can teach me, whether I need it or not; The second is to see what Master Wei expects from his apprentices, and whether I can do it...... If we can talk about this, we will continue to talk about it, and if we can't talk about it, we will stop. β
Wei Ying laughed again, "Where are you apprenticed, you are talking about business!" β
"Well, it's always time to think through." Bai Ling said in a low voice, "Since Master Wei has spoken openly and honestly to me, then I should also repay the favor." β
ββ¦β¦ Another day, you'll have to go back. Wei Ying moved her jaw and motioned for Bai Ling to look at the path to the south, where a dozen girls were returning in groups, turtle paws following them.
Of those people, Bai Ling recognized Ai Songqing at a glance - her roommates who lived in the same room had returned.
Bai Ling let out a soft "ah" and quickly stood up, she handed the dagger back to Wei Ying, but still held the purse in her hand.
"This purse, since Master Wei said that it was a gadget obtained by chance, can I just keep it for the time being?"
ββ¦β¦ Random. Wei Ying replied.
"Thank you." Bai Ling bowed slightly, then cautiously leaned against the door, removed the lid and went downstairs again.
Wei Ying stood upstairs, overlooking the brightly lit flowers at his feet, and felt a little emotional for a while.
Now that I suddenly want to take in an apprentice, it has become so troublesome.
In the end, its own time has passed...... No one buys his account anymore.
Wei Ying snorted, took a few steps forward, leaped forward, and disappeared into the night with overlapping lights and shadows along the edge of the tower.
β¦β¦
Bai Ling didn't light the lamp, just lay on the dark bed and waited for the others to go upstairs.
She closed her eyes and thought about the conditions that Wei Ying had put forward - they were actually quite interesting.
The last time I saw him was on the night when he left Beijing on the 14th, and the old man's behavior that day was obviously a little dissatisfied and hostile.
See you again today, and his attitude will completely change...... It's also magical.
There was a shuffled sound of footsteps in the hallway, and many people were walking briskly upstairs, the sound of stepping on the stairs overlapped.
The turtle's paws, who led the way, first pushed open the door of the house, and then lit the candles in the house with the fire candles in the lantern as a primer.
The girls came back sweaty.
Bai Ling glanced at Ai Songqing, who fell directly on the bed, "...... What did you go for? β
"Learn to dance." Ai Songqing said with difficulty, "...... I knew I wouldn't be going in the afternoon, so I'll continue to rest here with you. β
"...... learning to dance?" Bai Ling was a little surprised, "Who teaches?" β
"Just the master in Baihuaya......" Ai Songqing's face had not yet eased up, with an obvious flush, and several tufts of broken hair were also wet with sweat, sticking to his forehead and neck, "Bustard Niang said that she would go tomorrow, and Bai Ling will know tomorrow." β
