Tie Linglong looked up at the starry sky and the crescent moon that seemed to be absent, intoxicated, as if he had already wandered out of the world.

Chu Nanping, who had just finished his duty in the first half of the night, saw the girl standing in front of his tent, and was also stunned, stopped to look at it for a while, and walked over slowly, the snow creaked under his feet.

Tie Linglong didn't react to this obvious sound, and it wasn't until Chu Nanping approached that he turned his head to look at him, his eyes stained with the flicker of starlight and the coldness of moonlight at the same time, "Who do you think you are?"

Chu Nanping was stunned, "I am ......"

"You told the Dragon King about my dedication?"

Faced with such a straightforward question, Chu Nanping felt a little flustered, "What did the Dragon King say to you?"

"Ha, of course the Dragon King won't say anything directly, and he won't betray you, just tell me around the bush that I'm not among his trusters, he said he doesn't trust everyone, but I know that you are an exception. Among all of them, you have followed the dragon king the longest, have the highest martial arts, and are the most obedient, you will do whatever you want, and you will be more loyal than a dog raised from a small to a big one. ”

Tie Linglong's anger made Chu Nanping calm down, "You are mistaken, I am not the first person to follow the Dragon King, and the Dragon King killed my brother and Peng Xianren, and he kept me by his side, the reason is the same as you and Nie Zeng, it is to be vigilant at all times, and we are not among the trusted." The Dragon King is right, he can't trust anyone, and you don't need to pursue that. ”

Tie Linglong raised her head proudly, "That's my pursuit, you practice your ruthless swordsmanship, but I only need the Dragon King, a word of 'distrust' can't hit me, because I'm a woman." ”

Tie Linglong, who is still a girl, said the words "I am a woman", which sounded a little ridiculous, but Chu Nanping couldn't laugh, "I won't stop you, I just want to say, you are a moth to a fire, the dragon king is like an abyss, mixing with him will destroy you, you should ......"

"You don't need to tell me what should be, you yourself are the most trusted person of the Dragon King, but you came to persuade me to stay away from the Dragon King?"

Chu Nanping didn't want to argue about who the Dragon King "trusted" anymore, "This is the stage of my sword practice, and when the swordsmanship is complete, I will challenge the Dragon King, no matter if I win or lose, I will leave here." I have never sworn allegiance to the Dragon King, nor have I ever said a promise to always follow him. ”

Tie Linglong looked at this familiar and unfamiliar swordsman, showing a trace of confusion, and then sneered slightly, "Very good, I am willing to take your place when the time comes, before that, I will help you forget about me, so that you can practice ruthless swordsmanship as soon as possible, the first step, please don't interfere in my affairs anymore, especially the accusation behind my back, this practice is very despicable." The second step is that the Dragon King will accept me tonight. ”

Tie Linglong walked away, leaving two deep footprints where she had stood.

The person who stood still became Chu Nanping, looking down at the two blurred footprints, quietly feeling the deep pain that he had never experienced before, and some kind of innate organ seemed to be being cut off inch by inch by a sharp knife, and then replaced by something completely unfamiliar.

It was more absolutely indifferent than the snow under your feet and the cold moon in the sky.

People who are not familiar with it think that Chu Nanping's expression is very similar to that of the Dragon King, but those who have had in-depth interactions with him, such as Xu Xiaoyi, know that this is a swordsman who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and he is ruthless and just talks about it.

Until this moment, the real ruthlessness appeared in an unexpected form at the beginning of Nanping.

For there is no consummation of inexorability, on the contrary, it is a kind of suffering, which goes on and on, and grows stronger and stronger, until it transcends all feelings, and in order to confront this pain, he must concentrate his will on one point - his sword, for if he slackens a little, the whole being will be crushed by pain.

That's it, the swordsman comprehends a higher and deeper sword intent, only by giving up can the possession become more pure, the hungry know the fragrance of the shoddy meal, and the owner of nothing understands the truth of self-cherishing of the broom, when the sword becomes the only one, it can no longer be separated from the swordsman.

Chu Nanping held a sword tightly, the sword given to him by the Central Plains swordsman, and felt that he no longer needed to use the sharp weapon given by the Dragon King at the same time.

Tie Linglong is indeed "helping" him, Chu Nanping thought.

Separated by several tents, Gu Shenwei, who had not slept late at night, could not imagine that his actions would backfire, so he was surprised to see Tie Linglong who had gone and returned.

"Something?"

"I've been thinking about what the Dragon King said. Tie Linglong lowered her head slightly, a little hesitant, a little dazed, not quite the same as her usual appearance.

"Hmm. ”

"The Dragon King is a killer, and the killer should have no trust or distrust in his heart, it has nothing to do with who I am. ”

"That's right. Gu Shenwei hoped that she would have more resentment.

"If I'm going to be a killer, I should do the same, and I can't even trust the dragon king. ”

"You don't have to be a killer. ”

"No, I'm going to be a killer. Tie Linglong must have been a little aggressive, and returned to her usual appearance, "But it's too early for me to talk about trust or not, I have to improve my martial arts." ”

"You're right. ”

"If the Dragon King has nothing else to do, I hope you can help me continue to cultivate Harmony Strength, I have to work hard. ”

Tie Linglong has already cultivated the first layer of Yang energy, and she can cultivate on her own, but with the help of someone with higher skills, the progress will be faster after all.

"There are some things I want to explain to you first. ”

"Say it to the Dragon King. ”

"First of all, what I practice is not pure harmony, at most I will help you reach the second level, and then you will have to rely on your own efforts, and my help is likely to produce the opposite result. ”

"It's a little faster to be able to do it, the Dragon King can help me reach the second level, I'm already very satisfied. ”

"Secondly, if my speculation is correct, when your Harmony Qi reaches the second level, it will clash with the Daoless Divine Skill, and you must disperse most of your True Qi, and then your Harmony will not rise but fall. ”

"But sooner or later, I'll catch up, and it's more powerful than the Daoless Divine Skill, isn't it?"

"Yes, I gave up Harmony Jin because I was anxious, but you don't need to be in a hurry, just cultivate slowly, the longer you practice, the more obvious the power of Harmony Strength, you have to be prepared, it may take a long time. ”

Tie Linglong smiled, "I'm willing to practice slowly, because this is the exercise that the Dragon King chose for me." ”

Gu Shenwei narrowed his eyes, wanting to tell Tie Linglong that this was not the trust that a killer should give, but he held back, "Let's start." ”

Tie Linglong's little hand rested on the dragon king's big hand, with the palm as the axis, and the two slowly circled in a fixed pace.

Gu Shenwei slowly injected true qi, helping Tie Linglong sharpen that little bit of yang energy, and at the same time supervising the meridians of her whole body, so as not to block any of the acupoints.

Tie Linglong practiced very hard, Gu Shenwei could almost feel that the yang energy was increasing, if he had such progress and protectors many years ago, he would not have given up the family heirloom and mastery.

After more than half an hour, Tie Linglong's mind seemed to be a little scattered, and the movement of true qi was a little uneven, but the palms of his hands were getting hotter and hotter.

Gu Shenwei withdrew his palm, "That's it for today, you can't be impatient in cultivating Hehe, in the future, when you practice alone, if you encounter an unstable situation of true qi, you must stop immediately, understand?"

"Understood. Tie Linglong whispered, quite weak.

"You're tired, take a break. ”

"Hmm. Tie Linglong nodded, did not leave, but sat on the soft couch, looking listless.

Gu Shenwei walked to the table and continued to read the official documents, checking the spread map from time to time.

There was silence in the tent, and Tie Linglong suddenly asked, "There aren't many female killers in Jinpeng Castle, right?"

Gu Shenwei hummed perfunctorily.

"I've heard that it's harder for a woman to be a killer than for a man. ”

Gu Shenwei raised his head, thought for a while, and said: "It is very difficult for anyone to be a killer, you have to develop habits that normal people don't have, and you have to get rid of the feelings that normal people should have, and it is more difficult for women to be killers in Jinpeng Castle, because the training methods there are all designed for men, and female killers must be the same as male killers in the end." ”

"That's why there is Xiaoyue Hall, which specializes in training female killers. ”

"Yes, you've been in Xiaoyue Hall, so you should know that it's not easy to be there. ”

"Not really. Tie Linglong said in a casual tone, "Dragon King, I didn't bother you, did I?"

Gu Shenwei put down the official document in his hand, "No." ”

"I haven't told the Dragon King about the situation inside Xiaoyue Hall, in fact, I haven't even completed my primary training. ”

"I know, you escaped, that's good, I don't want to become a madman in Xiaoyuetang. ”

"Hehe, in fact, the people there are not all crazy, especially after the Dutch girl took power, many training methods have been abolished, and the trainer is very unhappy, but there is one that has not been abolished, and I am stuck on it. ”

"What?"

Tie Linglong looked a little embarrassed, but still said, "Xiaoyue Hall has found many men and asked the disciple to ...... Sleep with them before you kill them. ”

Gu Shenwei was silent for a while, "I'm sorry, I forced you to Xiaoyue Hall in the first place, in order to track down Han Wuxian's whereabouts. ”

Tie Linglong hurriedly shook her head, "I didn't mean to complain about the Dragon King, I was really disobedient at that time, and I actually listened to the instigation of the lotus girl and went to ...... After assassinating the queen, the dragon king can forgive me, and I am already very happy. ”

Gu Shenwei nodded, feeling more and more that Tie Linglong's behavior was strange tonight.

"I would say that Castle Wings trains female killers to have a similar ...... That's a lesson for female killers, right?"

Jinpeng Castle does not list bed affairs as a compulsory lesson, but it never interferes with it, most killer teachers see female apprentices as a benefit, and will not give up easily, and when it comes to the killing period, many female apprentices will also use their bodies to win a chance to survive for themselves.

In this regard, the Dutch girl's experience is not unique, and she is much luckier than most female apprentices due to her rapid improvement in martial arts.

Gu Shenwei understood Tie Linglong's intentions, and even guessed what she was going to say next: instead of dedicating herself to a strange man, she would rather choose the Dragon King.

This is obviously revenge on Chu Nanping.

In the face of the enemy's attack, Gu Shenwei was able to make a decision immediately, but at this time, he was helpless and didn't know what to say.

Tie Linglong looked at the Dragon King, her green eyes flashing with enthusiasm, proving that she was indeed no longer the little girl that Gu Shenwei had saved in the first place.
