"What happened to me just now?"
"In your words, you are possessed by the devil."
"What teacher would say?"
"My head was in the clouds."
In a small inn, Yan Xiaoxiao was once again awake on her bed. But this time, the one sitting next to her was Gu Nan, not Mo Jiaqi.
Gu Nan picked up a bowl of porridge and chuckled. "What do you mean by 'my head'? You won't understand even if I explain it … Do you want some porridge?"
Yan Xiaoxiao blinked. "Teacher, can you feed me?"
"No."
"Oh …"
After a fierce battle with Bai Chen, Yan Xiaoxiao finally felt herself regain some strength. She was quickly recovering from the exhaustion caused by the battle.
Gu Nan looked at her with an indescribable admiration, as if he was looking at a beautiful piece of jade.
He didn't believe in coincidences. Everything had its own set of rules.
Yan Xiaoxiao was a natural-born madwoman, a natural-born fanatic, and a natural-born homicidal maniac. Even if he hadn't appeared, she would sooner or later have awakened to the deepest desire in her soul.
Moreover, she was a lone branch character. For a professional player like Gu Nan, it wouldn't be too difficult for him to guess her identity and background.
"Then, you only have one last chance left."
Yan Xiaoxiao was startled when she heard this. She immediately understood. "Are we reaching our destination?"
"Mm, there's still one more stop." Gu Nan nodded. He wasn't taking Yan Xiaoxiao for a stroll. Instead, they were heading towards the center of the Immortal Demon Continent.
That was where Tang Xuan was. According to their previous agreement, after adapting to this world, Gu Nan was supposed to go to the center to help Tang Xuan.
"Come with me."
…
A moment later, Gu Nan and Yan Xiaoxiao walked side by side on the street. There was also a beautiful woman walking with them.
"So, Young Master Gu and your sister are from Jiujiang?"
"Yes, it's our first time in the central region, but we still need Miss Shangguan to be our guide … Sorry to trouble you," Gu Nan said unhurriedly with a faint smile on his face.
The woman who was addressed as' Miss Shangguan 'covered her mouth and chuckled, saying, "It's alright."
Be it his previous life or this life, Gu Nan's appearance had always been good, so it was not difficult for him to attract attention. However, Yan Xiaoxiao's expression was slightly unnatural, occasionally sizing him up with a strange gaze.
Shangguan Xian only thought that she was a young lady from an aristocratic family who rarely went out. She would never have thought that when this little girl occasionally looked at her, she was actually thinking …
How long would it take to kill her? How many moves do I need? How to deceive people … Oh, what am I thinking!
Yan Xiaoxiao let her imagination run wild as she followed behind the two of them. Their conversation kept ringing in her ears.
"This must be the famous Red Tide Levee … This Gu has long since heard of it, and it truly lives up to its reputation."
"Young Master, are you also interested in the legend of the famous courtesan Qin Hong?"
"Of course … not interested."
"Ah …"
Time passed little by little as the three of them wandered. In the evening, the three of them had a few drinks in a restaurant, and Gu Nan said goodbye.
"Miss Shangguan, thank you for accompanying me today."
"If you don't mind, you can call me Xian Er …" Shangguan Xian's face was slightly red, not knowing whether it was because of the few glasses of wine or because of the words at this time.
"Then … I will overstep my boundaries. Xian Er, be careful on the way." Gu Nan's face showed a slightly startled expression, but if you looked carefully, you would find that the depth of his eyes was always indifferent.
Shangguan Xian nodded lightly, "Young Master, are you going to the central region tomorrow?"
Gu Nan paused, as if he was a little hesitant. After a moment, he said, "My brother and sister … will stay for another day."
"Ah! That's great … Xian Er will go to the Red Lake with you tomorrow. "
"Okay …"
…
Miss Shangguan Xian left with a happy expression. Gu Nan and Yan Xiaoxiao watched her leave. Until her figure completely disappeared, Gu Nan said with a faint smile.
"What do you think of this woman?"
"Teacher, do you mean how to kill her?"
"No, from the perspective of an ordinary friend … or from the perspective of your past."
Yan Xiaoxiao was a little silent. Although only more than ten days had passed, when she recalled the carefree girl before, she had a feeling that it was a lifetime ago.
Sometimes she thought that she gave up her prominent family, gave up her close friends, gave up her strict father and loving mother … and embarked on the road of an assassin without hesitation.
Now her family might have found out that she was missing and began to look for her anxiously.
Father, mother …
A pair of hands gently patted her on the shoulder and took her back to the room. It was Gu Nan.
"Have a good sleep, and you will be fine tomorrow."
…
The next day, Shangguan Xian arrived on time. During the tour, she was keenly aware of the difference in Yan Xiaoxiao.
This little girl seemed to have become more cheerful … Sure enough, she was just a little girl who was afraid of strangers. Once they got to know each other, she was still very cute.
A smile appeared on Shangguan Xian's delicate face.
Since recalling the past, the softness in the depths of Yan Xiaoxiao's heart seemed to be touched. She began to change back to the former lively girl, and a certain personality that was obsessed with killing seemed to be temporarily sealed.
The three of them once again came to the Red Tide Embankment, but this time it was dusk, and the Red Lake under the sunset was particularly charming.
The dim yellow sunlight fell on the surface of the lake, reflecting the lake water into a fiery red color. Along with the tide, this was the origin of the name "Red Tide".
"The Red Lake is indeed the Red Lake." Gu Nan stood on the embankment and sighed with emotion.
Shangguan Xian stood side by side with him, one hand holding his arm without a trace, as if she was also fascinated by this amazing scenery, "Yes …"
"Xian 'er … Do you think this red tide looks like something else?"
"Oh? What is it? "Shangguan Xian showed a curious look. Along the way, she had been used to Gu Nan's witty words.
"Blood."
"Uh?"
A flower of blood exploded behind Shangguan Xian. She had no idea what had happened. Only Yan Xiaoxiao, who was standing beside the two of them, had a face full of horror.
The shadow under Gu Nan's feet slowly stretched out, until it extended to the back of Shangguan Xian. From the shadow, a human figure slowly appeared and stabbed the girl's back with a knife.
"This is …"
Yan Xiaoxiao couldn't help but look at Gu Nan. She saw that he was expressionless, and on his right ear, there was a dark gold earring, which made him look extremely strange.
The next moment, a monocle hung on Gu Nan's face. He looked calmly into the distance, "I just stayed for one more day, and there are guests …"
"Hey, what are you looking at?" Gu Nan turned to look at Yan Xiaoxiao, who seemed to be about to collapse.
