Chapter 347: Dark Night
Chu Nan's feet stepped into the diamond-paved streets of the glorious city, which was very secluded, and only a few people could be seen occasionally in the middle of the night.
Now Chu Nan is the only one left, Zuo Beichuan has returned to his prince's mansion, and the task of the Immortal Knife is to escort him to the imperial capital, and he will not be left alone if the task is completed.
The reason why Chu Nan appeared here is because Chu Tiange has a private house in this residential area in his memory, and since his current identity is Chu Tiange, then this private house is naturally his.
In Brilliant City, as long as you buy a private house, you have the right to permanent ownership, of course, the premise is that you need to report every ten years, if you don't report for ten years, the official investigation of the private house is deserted, and you have the right to take it back to the official owner.
Chu Nan walked through the quiet streets planted with palm leaf trees on both sides, and turned into a path separated by purple leaf bamboo, and he could see an old mansion that looked a little old.
The front yard is surrounded by a wooden fence, and there are a few fragrant trees planted in it, and the yard is overgrown with weeds and dead leaves everywhere.
Chu Nan walked into the front yard and came to the gate of the main house.
The gate was just closed, and the Xuanjin lock on it was cracked.
Someone is inside! Chu Nan's pupils shrank, his hand stretched out, and the heavy firewood knife was held in his hand.
Chu Nan quietly entered it, passed through the dark and heavy hall, and then passed through the long silhouette, and arrived at the backyard.
In the backyard, a figure covered in a cloak was facing a strange stone in the courtyard, motionless like a sculpture.
Chu Nan was hidden in the dark, his eyes swept over this figure, and he had some doubts in his heart, did this person break into the house to be a wooden man?
It didn't take long for the man to suddenly tremble lightly, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and his body went limp.
Chu Nan was stunned, his body swept out, and he stretched out his hand to wrap it around this person's shoulder, and at this time, the hat on this person's cloak fell, his hair slipped down, and a delicate and pale face was revealed, which turned out to be a young woman.
The woman's eyes were hazy, and she tried desperately to open her eyes to see who the person holding her was, but she struggled for a moment, and her head tilted and she passed out.
Chu Nan hugged the woman and stared at her face for a while, and a somewhat vague face floated in his memory, which seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember it.
Chu Nan picked up the woman in a side room, brushed his hand, the dust was gone, took out a brocade quilt from the space ring, and put her on it to lie down.
"It should be Chu Tiange's acquaintance, but the memory is not deep enough, shouldn't it be the love debt owed by that guy......" Chu Nan thought in his heart, reaching out to the woman's smooth forehead, Xuanli turned around her, and his brows couldn't help frowning.
Chu Nan ripped off the woman's belt and lifted her bottom, and in a piece of white and greasy snow skin, there were several bruised, red and swollen needle holes that were very eye-catching.
With a slight pressure with his finger, black venom flowed out of the needle's hole.
Chu Nan retracted his hand, and the silver flame flashed on his fingertips, and the venom stained on his fingertips vaporized.
It's so poisonous!
Chu Nan shrugged his nose, the poison actually contained a trace of spirituality, it didn't seem to be an ordinary poison.
Chu Nan stretched out his hand and pressed it on the woman's flat lower abdomen, and the mysterious power fused with spiritual fire rushed into her body, beginning to devour the toxins in her body.
Although the poison in this woman's body is not ordinary, it is far worse than Mai Duxiu's soul toxin at the beginning, and now Chu Nan's strength is no better than before, and the poison is faster to expel the poison.
After about half an hour, the poison in the woman's body had completely disappeared.
Chu Nan walked out, checked each room one by one, and found that the items here were quite complete, except for a thick layer of ash, there was no miserable condition of the four walls of the disciples, and the furniture and items were almost there.
This private house, Chu Tiange didn't live much after he bought it, there was a special person to take care of it before, and no one paid the salary after the disappearance, so the person who took care of it naturally locked it here.
As for why no one occupies this place, it is because there are aristocratic signs outside the house, and in this hierarchical world, no one dares to think about the private house of the nobles.
After turning around, Chu Nan returned to the previous chamber.
As soon as he pushed the door, a sharp blade of energy slashed into his throat.
Chu Nan's figure disappeared suddenly, and when he reappeared, he was already pinching a jade wrist with one hand, and as soon as he put his fingers down, he heard a coquettish snort, and a pitch-black dagger fell to the ground.
When the lights came on, the woman could be seen staring at him with a pale and pretty face.
"Your sister, Lao Tzu worked so hard to help you get rid of the poison, you still want my life. Chu Nan was annoyed, and there was a cold killing intent in his eyes, this good person really couldn't do it.
"You...... You saved me?" the woman asked, stunned.
Chu Nan shook off the woman's hand and said, "Is there anyone else here?"
"I'm sorry, my clothes were untied, I thought ......" The woman's pretty face flushed slightly, dispelling the coldness on her face.
Chu Nan waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I don't want you anything, since you are awake, let's go." ”
The woman looked up in amazement, and was stunned for a moment before she said, "Why do you want me to leave? This courtyard is empty." ”
"It has always had a master, that is me, I am the master of this courtyard, understand?" Chu Nan said.
"You, your surname is Chu?" the woman asked, her eyes a little more vigilant.
"You know? That's for the best. Chu Nan raised his eyebrows and said.
"Chu Tiange?" the woman asked again, looking at him in disbelief.
"It's me. Chu Nan nodded, but he muttered in his heart, he shouldn't meet a person who has a grudge.
"You're not already ......"
"I'm already dead in the Seven Star Continent, but I'm back alive. Chu Nan said with a smile.
"You seem to have changed a lot. The woman said.
"Do you know me?" Chu Nan remained silent, there must be a difference between his appearance and Chu Tiange, however, the appearance of Chu Tiange in his memory is not very different from him, after so many years, it is normal to have changes, besides, Chu Tiange has not stayed in Brilliant City for a long time, at that time, the Chu family was in turmoil, he spent most of his time in other cities, the most important thing is that as long as the Heavenly Witch recognizes his identity, no one dares to object.
At the mention of this, the woman's expression seemed to be a little annoyed, and she snorted: "This courtyard used to be my family's, and I have seen it once." ”
In fact, the two of them only met once, but at that time, Chu Tiange also teased her, she was only fifteen or sixteen years old at the time, and after six or seven years, her memory was also blurred.
If it was really Chu Tiange who came back, he did have the power to drive her away.
However, when she goes out now, she is simply killing herself.
"I ...... Can I stay here for a few days?" the woman asked, with some difficulty.
"Who are you being hunted down by?" Chu Nan asked.
The woman jerked her head up, took a step back with her feet behind her back, and put one hand behind her back.
"Hey, hey, hey, if you throw you out like this again, how can I spend so much energy on you to save you?" Chu Nan exclaimed with an unhappy face.
The woman relaxed, with a hint of apology on her face, her actions purely instinctive.
"Are you an assassin?" Chu Nan asked when he saw the woman's instinctive movements.
"Yes. The woman nodded in acknowledgement.
"Which one did you provoke?" Chu Nan asked again, although he was not afraid of things, he was not willing to provoke right and wrong for no reason.
"The Jade Lion Gong family, the three elders of the Gong family who are responsible for property management died at my hands. The woman said calmly.
Gong family, Chu Nan's eyes narrowed, since Chu Tiange's memory, the demise of the Chu family, the Gong family played the role of a knife bearer.
Although the affairs of the Chu family in this glorious city have nothing to do with him, since he uses this identity, he needs to stand in the perspective of this identity no matter what he does or what he says.
"Okay, you stay, wait until you're healed before leaving, if you can't get out, I'll find a way to get you out of the city." "Chu Nan Dao.
"Thank you. The woman said.
"Well, what's your name?" Chu Nan asked.
"Dark night. The woman was slightly stunned and said.
This is obviously the assassin's code name, but the word dark night reminds Chu Nan of the famous spear dark night assassin on his body, and he rarely uses it anymore.
Chu Nan went to the next room, sat down cross-legged and began to cultivate.
"Is he really the uncultivateable, mediocre child of the Chu family?" said to herself in the dark night, why did she feel that he could poke her to death with one finger.
