Compared to the bustle of the street where the Green Pine Bookstore is located, this street is more deserted, and Xin Yu plunged into another alley, winding around, clinging to the cold wall and gasping slightly.

Finally got rid of it.

The Hidden Arrow was still firmly attached to her forearm, reminding her of her failure.

Xin Yu looked at the alley and laughed at herself.

He Qingxiao's reaction was far sharper than she expected, and she was afraid that her body would dodge when she heard the sound of the hidden weapon breaking through the air.

It was she who was careless, a person who could avoid so many crises, his reaction speed must be faster than that of someone of comparable skill.

Can you only get close and kill the other party by surprise?

But if this is the case, it will be difficult for her to get out of it.

Xin Yu pondered this, regained some strength, and looked at the end of the alley.

It's a dead end, and on the other side of the fence is supposed to be the yard of a family.

Xin Yu gave up the idea of going over the wall, turned around and walked back.

The alleys are deep and long, much darker than the streets. When he was about to walk to the mouth of the alley, Xin Yu took a soft breath and stepped out of the boundary between light and shadow.

A hand reached out and grabbed her.

Xin Yu's reaction was also not slow, and she turned around and ran in that instant, but the wall in front of her made her have no way to escape.

The people chasing after him were dressed in red clothes, almost blending in with the night.

Xin Yu gritted his teeth and pulled out a dagger and stabbed it.

He Qingxiao dodged sideways, and attacked Xin Yu with a sharp move.

After a few moves in a short period of time, Xin Yu stabbed He Qingxiao with a move, but realized that she would definitely lose after a long time.

Aunt Lan, who taught her martial arts, has said many times that unless she is talented, a woman's physical strength is not as good as that of a man, especially when she encounters a man with comparable skills, try to avoid hard encounters, but win with dexterity.

But now she has no way to avoid it, so she can only -

The moment the hand was raised, the mechanism on the bracelet was touched, and the lime powder sprinkled on He Qingxiao's face.

Taking advantage of He Qingxiao's closing eyes, Xin Yu ran away, ran out of the alley and quietly returned to the east courtyard of the bookstore in one breath, so that he could pick up the thoughts before sprinkling lime.

Since you can't beat and you don't have a chance to run, you can only be shameless.

Xin Yu left a note for Xiaolian to leave the door for her, and Xiaolian heard a gentle knock on the door and pulled the door, and her expression turned to horror: "You-"

Xin Yu immediately covered Xiaolian's mouth and said in a low voice, "It's me." ”

Hearing the familiar voice, Xiaolian's frightened expression subconsciously slowed down, and her eyes were full of disbelief.

How can this disciple's voice be the same as that of a girl!

"Don't make a sound, I'm disguised."

Xiaolian breathed a sigh of relief, accompanied Xin Yu inside, and couldn't help her curiosity: "Girl, why are you so similar to a man!" ”

In this story, everyone dresses up as men, isn't it all about changing clothes and hairstyles, but the girl has changed her person.

If you look closely, the silhouette is actually still the same, but it feels completely different.

"We'll talk about that later."

Removing makeup and freshening up, Xinyu returned to its original appearance.

Xiaolian watched from beginning to end, and her jaw dropped again and again.

"Don't mention it to anyone." Drink a glass of water to relieve the exertion of physical strength, Xin Yu whispered.

"The servant knows. Girl, are you a disguiser? ”

Looking at Xiaolian's starry eyes, Xin Yu couldn't help but smile: "Not really." It is said that transfiguration can make a person have a thousand faces, but I just modify it slightly according to my own characteristics, and practice makes perfect. ”

"That's still amazing." Xiaolian saw Xin Yu's tiredness and asked thoughtfully, "Girl, do you want to take a bath?" ”

Xin Yu nodded, and her face was much better after soaking in the steaming wooden barrel.

Xiaolian brought a light meal specially left.

Clean clothes, good food, Xin Yu's heart gradually calmed down.

The matter of taking Qingxiao's life is probably going to be considered in the long run.

She sat in front of the vanity mirror with her long hair scattered, silently looking at the person in the mirror.

Rudai's long eyebrows, delicate nose, and smooth facial curvature make it impossible to see the shadow of the delicate young man at all.

He Qingxiao was suspicious of her, and he wouldn't have thought that she was the person who fought with him in the alley.

Hold your breath and take your time.

Xin Yu closed his eyes and opened them again, and his eyes completely returned to calm.

The next morning, she appeared in the front study hall as usual.

Liu Zhou and Shi opened the door of the bookstore not long ago, one was cleaning outside, and the other was wiping the counter.

Xin Yu walked among the shelves full of books, with a faint scent of ink lingering on the tip of his nose, and he was especially glad for his decision to buy the bookstore.

"Lord He, it's morning." Liu Zhou's warm greeting came.

This was followed by the man's gentle response: "Morning." ”

Xin Yu put one hand on the bookshelf, frowning slightly.

Since she took over the bookstore, He Qingxiao has usually come every few days. But he came yesterday, and he came again today.

Although Xin Yu felt that the other party would not recognize her who fought yesterday, she still had a trace of vigilance in her heart.

He Qingxiao walked in and saw Xin Yu standing next to the bookshelf.

"Morning He-sama." Xin Yu raised her lips and smiled brightly.

He Qingxiao paused, and then walked over.

"Miss Kou has been busy with the bookstore so early."

"I have to pay attention to my own bookstore." Xin Yu said, a little uncomfortable.

He Qingxiao seemed too close to her.

Not to mention anything else, since dealing with He Qingxiao, he has always been very measured. did not rely on his status to be condescending, nor did he act frivolously.

Xin Yu was thinking about this, and He Qingxiao suddenly leaned over and almost reached her ear.

Xin Yu retreated sharply, almost unable to control his shot, exposing the fact that he would be martial.

"Lord He?" She suppressed her anger and looked puzzled.

He Qingxiao looked at the tense girl, and was silent for a while, until the atmosphere between the two was already awkward.

"In the alley last night, it was Miss Kou."

Xin Yu's eyes shrank and his face changed.

She subconsciously wanted to deny it, but she swallowed the words that rushed to her mouth in the eyes that seemed to see through everything.

At this time, she would be humiliating herself if she didn't admit it again.

Xin Yu lowered his eyes and said in a cold tone: "Is Lord He here to arrest me?" ”

"I'm here to determine if the boy who wanted my life yesterday is the same person as Miss Kou."

Xin Yu raised his eyes to look at him and asked the doubts in his heart: "How did Lord He recognize it?" ”

"Smell." He Qingxiao didn't sell it, "I fought with that young man, and I smelled some familiar breath, and then I remembered that it seemed to be the same as the breath on Miss Kou's body." ”

Xin Yu suddenly understood the reason why He Qingxiao had suddenly approached just now.

It turned out to be because the smell was exposed.

Xin Yu was unwilling and depressed.

This person, is it a dog's nose?

"I have a question, I hope Miss Kou will solve my doubts."

Xin Yu was silent for a moment, and asked calmly: "Lord He wants to ask, why did I kill you?" ”

He Qingxiao bowed his head: "Can Miss Kou tell me the reason?" ”
