The night was a little cold, and Roy slowly paced into the courtyard wearing only a thin shirt.

The aristocratic residential area where Arnold's mansion is located is close to the most prosperous part of West Denia, and from here you can see the bright lights of the shopping street and the huge black shadow of the World Tree like a mountain.

The elegant melody of the violin fills the air, just like the vulgar passage of a love soap opera in a previous life.

Whenever the male and female protagonists have a tryst, the charming background music will sound just right.

At the other end of the courtyard stood a young girl.

Her long dark purple hair hung down over her shoulders, and her blue eyes stared at Roy quietly, not knowing what she was thinking.

Roy had seen her, and she was sitting next to Qin Xiang when she was hunting today.

She should be the eldest daughter of the Qin family, Qin Xiang's own sister, and her name is Qin Liu.

The sound of the piano continued in the room, and Roy was the first to break the silence.

"The sixth movement of the Sacred Badge, 'Forget-me-not', I love this piece, and the cold and lonely atmosphere of the prelude goes well with autumn."

Qin Liu pursed his lips: "I'm a rough person, I don't understand the doorway of music." ”

The words that came out of her mouth seemed somewhat absurd.

She clearly has a graceful figure, the moonlight sprinkles on her face, and the tear mole in the corner of her right eye sets off her white and flawless face charming and pitiful.

Such a fairy-looking girl, who was also from the most powerful and prestigious family in Sidney, would actually laugh at herself for being a coarse person?

“……”

He wanted to keep saying something so that he could take the initiative in the conversation, but he quickly became speechless.

Qin Liu's eyes were cold, she was just standing here, and the oncoming sense of oppression made Roy a little breathless.

It was the same just now, he suddenly felt like he was falling into an ice cellar in the room, as if he was firmly locked by some extremely dangerous existence, and then he reacted to an uninvited guest.

"I'm not used to talking, Roy Arnold."

Qin Liu spoke again, "I want to ask you three questions. ”

She no longer emitted a domineering momentum, Roy breathed a sigh of relief, stabilized his mind for a moment, and then said:

"Don't dare to ask for advice, you just ask."

"First question, what do you think of Qin Xiang?"

Well?

What is this proposition?

Do you think I'm going to say bad things about my brother in front of my own sister?

What's more, his impression of Qin Xiang is not bad.

Although he is a facial paralysis, he is quite principled in doing things, and I have never heard of him showing off his strength and bullying the weak in the academy over the years.

So he replied: "Qin Xiang is the most powerful peer I have ever met, he is very calm and powerful. For example, the white wolf we encountered today could not be dealt with by us, but he killed it alone. ”

Qin Liu shook his head: "He was born with inexhaustible cultivation resources, and divine weapons are also at his fingertips, reaching this level is not a big deal." ”

"......" Roy was silent.

He couldn't take that.

"Second question, what do you think of the Qin family?"

Well?

What kind of proposition is this?

Do you think I dare to speak ill of the Qin family in front of the Qin family's direct family?

What's more, he would attend a party at Qin's house every week, and he would eat people with a soft mouth.

One thing to say, the Qin family's food is really good.

So he replied: "The Qin family is one of the eighteen families of the Divine Temple, it is a representative of the sword cultivation that is justified and expected, and the Tibetan Sword Pavilion is a holy place in the minds of countless sword cultivators, its history is as long as Sidenia itself, presumably the Qin family will continue to be so prosperous in the future." ”

Qin Liu said noncommittally: "In Sidney, the Qin family is not the most powerful family, it is the target of everyone, as long as there is a slight relaxation, it will immediately be carved up and eaten up, and it will be overtaken by other forces." ”

"......" Roy was silent.

If you don't understand, just ask, is this the plot of the hero of the wine boil?

I don't understand why the noble and powerful eldest lady of the Qin family came to his backyard to chat with him in the middle of the night.

It can't be that I like him, this possibility is a little small.

"Third Question......"

Qin Liu paused slightly and looked at him carefully.

"Do you think there are people in the world who have two lineages at the same time?"

Well?

Roy's face broke out in a cold sweat.

"I don't need to answer, your eyes have already told me the answer."

Qin Liu suddenly laughed, like a little fox who had succeeded in his treacherous scheme.

"Don't scold me." Roy said with a confused expression, "How can there be people who have two inheritances at the same time, this is unreasonable, haven't you seen it?" ”

Good guy, don't you talk to me? I almost fell for it.

Sure enough, it's a bad woman.

But in his previous life, he had seen too many of these little tricks, and this was not even a deception.

Qin Liu's smile gradually faded, and she sighed lightly:

"I found that the boys I met were all thick-skinned, either facial paralysis or liars, or I would use my sword to ask for the answer.

"A warrior's sword doesn't lie."

I don't know if it's an illusion, after saying this, a faint flash of thunder flashed in her azure eyes.

The overwhelming killing intent rushed towards Roy, and Roy's face turned pale, feeling like a small boat swaying in the wind and rain, sailing on the endless sea.

The sea was stormy, lightning and thunder, as if the ship would be capsized in the next second.

Killing intent, this is pure killing intent, he has never seen such a powerful killing intent, just being locked in her eyes, he needs to use all his will to fight.

Once crushed by this killing intent, he will lose the will to resist, and he will also lose the qualification to stand in front of her.

If memory serves, Qin Liu should only be three years older than him......

What the hell has this woman been through, she can oppress her opponent to such an extent with her momentum alone!

"You made a bet today."

Qin Liu walked towards him step by step, "Then I'll make a bet with you too." ”

"If you can take my sword, I'll give you anything you want."

"Like, an inexhaustible supply of money; For example, inexhaustible cultivation resources; Another example is the power and status that makes everyone grovel to you......"

"Whatever you want, I'll give you."

The pressure of "Ha ......" grew heavier and heavier, and Roy gasped for air, sweat soaking his shirt.

"Sounds great, but what if I don't catch it?"

At this point, the distance between them was only three steps, and Roy could see the expression on her face.

Qin Liu's eyes were indifferent, as if he was saying something that was taken for granted:

"I'm not going to hurt you, but the sword has no eyes, and if you don't give it your all, you could get seriously injured......"

"Or maybe die."

Roy had no doubt about what she was saying,

can release such a powerful killing intent, how can she be a soft-hearted person.

Qin Liu threw a sword at him, which was the wooden sword he had originally placed in the courtyard to practice.

It seems to have come prepared.

From the very beginning, Qin Liu had already decided to fight him.

Immediately, her left hand flipped over, the milky white ring on her left index finger glowed slightly, and a wooden stick appeared in her hand.

It's actually a space ring!

Roy's pupils shrank.

The Space Ring is a typical super-grade spiritual weapon, and its forging skills are monopolized by the Temple of Sidney, which is very rare.

It is said that each space ring has a unique number, and the people who are eligible to use it are all important people in Sidney, so it is also nicknamed the "power ring".

If Qin Liu, as a direct member of the Qin family, has a space ring that is still acceptable, but what did she take out of the ring?

It was not so much a wooden sword as an ordinary uncarved wooden stick.

Well, compared to the wooden sword in his hand, it can be called comparable, and maybe he took advantage of it a little more.

"I don't use spiritual power, I only use the purest swordsmanship."

Qin Liuping raised the wooden stick in her hand, maybe she didn't even notice it-

She was laughing.

This is the fanaticism of the warmongers in the face of battle.

"Don't let me down, Roy!"

The wooden stick in his hand turned into a rainbow and thundered towards Roy's chest.

There are no imaginary bells and whistles of sword moves, and the straight line between two points is the shortest, and the idea of this sword is so simple.

But he couldn't hide.

As soon as Qin Liu's words fell, Roy had already activated the skill "Swift" and quickly retreated.

But the distance between him and the stick did not widen in the slightest.

He swung his wooden sword and tried to swing the stick, but the stick moved down like an unpredictable prophet, and he swung the sword directly into the air.

He only had time to turn slightly to his side, and then the stick cut through his shirt, leaving a hot scratch on his lower abdomen.

This stab is full of strength, if he didn't react, wouldn't he be pierced by Qin Liu on the spot?

He didn't have time to think so much, and the attacks of the wooden sticks continued to attack him, but he couldn't prevent a single move.

After the swordsmanship practice of the tutor, Roy boasted that he still had some basic skills, but when he faced Qin Liu, he found that his whole body was full of loopholes.

Qin Liu beat him like an adult bullying a child, and he was almost powerless to fight back.

In a matter of seconds, Roy was covered in bruises.

Fortunately, Moon Shadow's talent "Body Control" allowed him to repeatedly avoid fatal injuries at critical moments, otherwise he would have lost the ability to resist in the first photo.

Qin Liu didn't lie, there was indeed no spiritual power fluctuation in her body.

She had driven him to this point with just her swordsmanship and physical fitness.

It's a mage who calls thunder! Isn't this sword cultivation?

Is it possible that she is also a dual inheritor!?

Inside the house, the refreshing sound of the piano is still melodious.

Outside the house, Roy was defeated and retreated under Qin Liu's attack, not to mention counterattacking, and he couldn't even organize an effective defense.

"Is that all you have to do?" Qin Liu's eyes were full of disappointment.

Weak, too powerless.

It was far from what she expected.

"The battle is brutal, and everyone is giving it their all in order to survive!"

She pointed at Roy and said coldly, "I'll make another sword, this is your last chance." ”

"Take this sword, and I'll give you everything you want."

"If you can't catch it...... Don't regret it. ”

Facing the domineering girl, Roy spat out a mouthful of blood foam and grinned:

"All out? Not everyone can give it a go, the eldest lady of the Qin family.

"Look at the people on your hunt, they want to slap your brother! Because you are a family of temples, and you are the rulers of Sidnia, even if they are all inheritors with a bright future, you can easily decide their fate.

"I'm not a special being, I'm one of them. Just like now that you suddenly break into my house and fight me, I still have to accompany the smiling face for fear that you will be unhappy, everyone has everyone's difficulties, you know? ”

There was a slight fluctuation in Qin Liu's indifferent eyes, she lowered her sword and said slowly, "...... I don't understand. ”

"I'm just a fighter, and a fighter will give it his all in a fight, and any false fight will be considered an insult to a fighter."

"What's holding you back, Roy? Tell me and I can help you. ”

Roy asked rhetorically, "Why are you helping me?" We should be meeting for the first time, right? ”

"How can it be so complicated?"

Qin Liu frowned, "Since you have something on your mind and don't want to fight with me, then I'll settle your mind, it's as simple as that." ”

"Why should I trust you to help me, not harm me?" Roy gritted his teeth.

"I said, I'm a warrior, a rough man, I'm not interested in schemes. In my eyes, there are only those who have strength and those who do not. ”

Qin Liu's eyes flashed with a faint thunder light, "If I recognize your strength, I don't mind helping you." If you don't believe in good intentions, you can interpret this as a deal. ”

"Give me a satisfying answer, and a hearty fight. Correspondingly, I can give you what you want – the more you surprise me, the more I will give you. ”

"Now." She raised her sword, "Tell me your answer." ”

Hearing her words, Roy was finally convinced.

This is a madman.

A madman who can't handle it with common sense, and his mind is full of fighting.

is still a female hooligan who just doubts him, and climbs over his wall in the middle of the night to get to the bottom of him.

She's neither an ally nor an enemy, it's like a prank egg planted by the game's creators in the game where you can confront her and get some extra bonuses – and of course, there's a risk involved.

You can also ignore her, pretend to be stupid to the end, it's a big deal to be beaten in vain, it will be regarded as a dog day, and then silently promise in your heart that you will be in Hedong for thirty years and thirty years in Hexi, and don't bully the young man to be poor.

Roy stared at the slim girl in front of him.

Reborn in this life, he made a plan for his future early, whether it was making props or black snipers, all the progress was originally planned.

But one day, however, he accidentally takes in a maid, and everything changes from then on, and he makes a bet with Arthur and has to go all out on the hunt.

In the end, she saw the clues.

Damn it!

Now he had two options before him.

One is to expose his identity as a dual inheritor, and then believe that Qin Liu can bring him some opportunities.

The second is to put it up directly, insisting that he is just an ordinary inheritor, and then praying that Qin Liu can leave obediently and his life trajectory can return to normal.

So, what to do?

His intuition told him that of course he should choose the second one, anyway, he was already very satisfied with his current life, and he didn't need Qin Liu to help him at all.

But......

At this time, contrary to the solemn atmosphere in the courtyard, the sound of the piano wafting from the back room was composing the final movement.

"Forget-me-not" has entered the final climax, which is a very tense explosive performance of the violin, and a series of melodious and high-pitched portamento is pulling the atmosphere of the audience to the peak.

This is not only his battlefield, but also her stage.

Roy vaguely remembers the backstory of the song: a young girl whose home was devastated by war, took up arms, and gave her life in the war to defend her homeland.

When she said goodbye to her lover, she offered a flower, and the name of that flower was forget-me-not.

Now this climax played the moment of her death with the enemy.

Roy's expression kept changing, and he suddenly asked, "Are you really willing to help me?" Even though...... You could be caught up in the shadows, or even the enemy of other temple families? ”

"What's so great about the temple family, everyone is sitting in this position now, isn't it all by fighting?"

Qin Liu said casually, "I have already said that I can help you—as long as you can show the corresponding value." ”

Roy was silent for a moment and laughed, "It's you." ”

Qin Liu didn't speak again, just raised his hand and swung a sword again.

She has been accompanied by the sword since she was a child, and she will use the sword to find any answer she wants.

That's her way.

This time, the sword momentum is more fierce than before.

If Roy hadn't been able to catch it as before, the blow would have left him lying on his back for months.

Roy stared at the rushing sticks.

Qin Liu's attack was already in front of him, and his movements suddenly seemed to be a different person, he set up his sword cleanly and neatly, and took the blow accurately.

"Boom-"

Wooden swords and sticks clashed, making a dull sound.

This was the first time he had received Qin Liu's attack head-on.

Qin Liu smiled: "You are really special!" ”

There was a tremendous force from the blade, and Roy was swung several steps away.

His breathing was a little rapid, but his body didn't shake at all.

"You said you would help me."

"I believe in you, so I took your sword."

He raised his head, and a pair of breathtaking golden eyes lit up in the dark night.

"Now, you're ready to make good on your promise."
