The night breeze rustled as the two of them stood there. Although they had yet to make a move, their auras had already begun to clash. Nie Li's murderous aura overwhelmed the assassin. The assassin's face turned pale. She did not expect Nie Li to have such a strong murderous aura at such a young age.
The assassin did not expect to lose at this point. She put away her dagger and pulled out a short sword from her sleeve. The short sword was two fingers wide and two feet long. It was green in color and looked very beautiful.
"Kid, do you think you can take me down with just a few words?" The assassin looked at the short sword with a gentle gaze, as if the sword was her whole world.
"Of course not. I'm alone. I don't dare to be your enemy. Naturally, I don't dare to be the enemy of the Bai Family." Nie Li did not expect the assassin to understand so quickly. She was not stupid.
"Then what do you think, even if you know my identity?" The assassin did not look at Nie Li. Nie Li shrugged and said casually, "Nothing. Even if I go to the Bai Family tomorrow, they will only think that I'm a madman spouting nonsense."
The Bai Family would not believe a stranger's words without evidence. Moreover, the other party was from the Heavenly Sound Valley. Even a fool would know which side to choose.
"But if I know the Bai Family, then it will be even more difficult for you to carry out your plan." Nie Li almost believed his own words. "Also, you just made the biggest mistake." Nie Li looked down on the assassin.
"If you had stopped or said a word when you were running towards me, I wouldn't have been able to clear my name. But you just ran away. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the two of us are not on the same side. "
"You are an assassin and I am an unintentional intruder. Plus, I know the Bai Family." Before Nie Li could finish, he was interrupted by the assassin. "Unintentional? Do you think you can cover it up by saying it was unintentional?"
"Also, after saying so much, I want to kill you even more." If what Nie Li said was true and he knew the Bai Family, then she had to be careful. What if he was a madman and dragged her down with him?
"I am also fated with the Heavenly Sound Valley." Nie Li's sudden change of topic caught the assassin off guard. It was as if he was threatening her with a knife a second ago and saying that he was her relative in the next second. Nie Li suddenly had a plan in his mind.
"Empty words have no proof." When the assassin heard Nie Li's words, he sneered. This person was really strange. He dared to say anything just to survive. If his answer did not satisfy him, he would definitely cut off his tongue so that he would not dare to speak nonsense in the future.
"Qin Xinyin." Nie Li knew that in order to gain the trust of the woman in front of him, he had to say an important person's name. If he said Yang Su Rou, it wouldn't bring much value and bargaining chips.
"Senior Sister Qin." Hearing Nie Li mention Qin Xinyin, the assassin relaxed his vigilance and retracted his aura. "I got to know her in Ocean of Clouds City. She took a blind little girl with her when she returned to the valley."
When Nie Li mentioned Zhou Ning's existence, the assassin withdrew his aura. "You're such a strange person." The assassin did not purposely lower her voice when she spoke. Instead, she used her original voice to speak. Her voice was extremely soft and gentle, and it warmed the hearts of those who heard it. She also guessed that Nie Li didn't have any ill intentions, which was why she put down her disguise. However, she still couldn't figure out what he was planning.
"If you were trying to frame me just now, I would really want to kill you. But thinking about it, instead of risking my life to kill you, I might as well cooperate with you. "Nie Li's tightly pursed lips rose a little.
"Kill me? You're only at the late stage of the Houtian realm. You really overestimate yourself and underestimate me." The assassin laughed. That was ridicule! Hearing a person at the late stage of the Houtian realm say such words, she felt that it was ridiculous.
Strength was a process of taking one step at a time. The difference of a few steps was an insurmountable gap. Especially the difference between the Houtian realm and the Xiantian realm, it was like the difference between the clouds and the mud. The assassin thought that Nie Li was young and frivolous, and did not know the immensity of heaven and earth.
"Killing people doesn't necessarily depend on strength. Just based on your underestimation of the enemy, I have many ways to kill you. " Nie Li's words were much colder than the night wind. Martial arts had become the benchmark in people's eyes, but strength was not everything.
Looking at the young man in front of her, whose voice was still a little immature, the corner of his mouth was smiling. Coupled with the sinister ghost mask, his eyes were filled with coldness and callousness. The assassin shivered. Weirdo, she secretly cursed.
"Cooperate? Do you think you're worthy? Or, do you have any conditions that are worthy of my cooperation? " The assassin looked at the "evil ghost" in front of her. Cooperate with her. This was the first time she had heard someone say such words to her.
"A knife used to kill, should be enough!" Nie Li did not hesitate and said what he wanted. That simple sentence made the assassin shiver. She did not dare to cooperate with him. It could be said that she was a little afraid and worried about him.
His temperament was strange, his heart was ruthless, and his desire to kill was huge. Most importantly, he was smart enough. This kind of person was the most frightening.
"Since you want to cooperate with me, then not revealing your true face is a little impolite." The assassin looked at the sinister ghost mask. She was curious about what the person under the mask looked like.
"Then shouldn't you also reveal your true face?" Nie Li asked. The assassin was speechless for a moment. She pulled off the mask, revealing a beautiful face. Her soft facial features were like a clear spring, and her eyes were like water. This was a woman as gentle as water.
Nie Li took a look. It was actually Senior Sister Wen from the Heavenly Sound Valley. He never thought that although she usually looked gentle and kind, she had such a side to her. Seeing that the other party was so honest, Nie Li took off the mask.
The moonlight shone on his fair skin, and the clear black and white light made his handsome facial features look very good. He had sharp edges, thin lips, and eyebrows that were as sharp as knives. There was always a faint sadness and sadness between his eyebrows.
"It's you." Wen Xinya looked at Nie Li. She had actually been in a daze for a moment just now. It wasn't that she had never seen such a handsome man before, but Nie Li was a little different. He had a clean and handsome appearance, a cold and arrogant aura, and a trace of vulnerability in his eyes. These unique qualities mixed together made him full of charm.
"I also didn't expect it to be you." Nie Li put the mask away. "Okay, let's make it short! Do you want to cooperate or not? Give me a straight answer. "His tone was cold, which was different from his face. It made people feel uncomfortable.
"Sure." Wenxin looked at him deeply. Nie Li's blade technique was good, and his strength was not bad. She could get him to do things that were inconvenient for her.
"Then, why did you go to the Bai Residence to assassinate?" Nie Li went straight to the point. Wen Xinya was stunned by Nie Li's question. The guy who was witty and tactful just a moment ago was now speaking very directly.
"I don't want to answer this." Wenxin's eyes became sharp. "Since you don't want to answer, then forget it." Nie Li did not ask. Wenxin was still thinking about how Nie Li's next words would make her angry, but he did not ask again.
Wenxin took a few deep breaths. She wanted to stab Nie Li to death. "Let's go back to the inn. They will be worried if we stay out for too long." Just as Wenxin was thinking about how to teach Nie Li a lesson, he had already walked in front of her.
"Don't be in a daze. Let's go!" Wenxin turned and followed Nie Li. The two did not speak, nor did they use Qinggong. They just walked side by side on the street.
Under the moonlight, the two figures looked very harmonious. Wenxin also noticed Nie Li's legs. She did not expect him to be a cripple, but she did not say it out loud. She respected the pain in everyone's heart.
Seeing that Nie Li was silent, Wenxin spoke first. "Aren't you curious why I wanted to assassinate the people of the Bai Residence?"
"Will you tell me if you're curious? Cooperation is also a transaction. I will naturally exchange information for yours. "Nie Li looked down at Wenxin, who was half a head shorter than him, and crossed his arms in front of his chest.
Because of Nie Li's words, the atmosphere became even more silent. Unknowingly, the two had returned to the inn. Although it was late at night, the Forest House was still brightly lit. In the dark night, a lamp was lit.
"Goodbye." After going upstairs, Nie Li's room was in the middle, and the Heavenly Sound Valley's room was in the corner. Nie Li walked to the door, said, and turned to open it.
"Take care." While Wenxin was speaking, Nie Li's door was already closed. She also opened her room. When she was outside, she had already changed out of her night clothes.
After returning to the room, Nie Li fell into deep thought. Why did Wenxin want to assassinate the Bai Residence? Wasn't she a disciple of the Heavenly Sound Valley? Why was she so murderous? This person was not simple!
He did not know whether cooperating with her was a blessing or a curse, but Nie Li was sure that Wenxin's identity was not only the Heavenly Sound Valley, but also another identity. She would definitely be able to help him get what he wanted.
He had to go to the Bai Residence tomorrow. Not to mention other things, he also needed Bai Jian's help with the Yu Mountain matter. Perhaps he could get some information from the Bai Family that Wenxin was hiding.
Nie Li was a little amused. He did not expect to be involved with the people of the Heavenly Sound Valley again. How was she? Nie Li could not help but think of her. The song she played that day was still in his ears. Nie Li took out the bamboo flute from his bag.
He put it to his mouth and wanted to play a song. The sound of the flute was like crying and telling of the longing in his heart. Halfway through the song, he suddenly stopped. Nie Li inhaled and exhaled, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not play the song. His shoulders drooped weakly. Who was this song for? Although the people were still there, they were already at different ends of the world.
Under the moonlight, a cool breeze accompanied the song, carrying it into the distance.
He sighed, and his breath wandered in the flute, making a humming sound. I'll keep it! I'll play it for her next time. Putting the bamboo flute beside the pillow, Nie Li fell into a deep sleep.
In his dream, he seemed to have seen her, but he did not know where she was, and there was no need to know. Perhaps to Nie Li, she was his world. He slept very soundly that night, which was rare.
The bright moon in the sky was still there, squeezing in through the small window, shining on the emerald green bamboo flute and also on Nie Li's bright smile. A string of crystal clear tears flowed down without stopping.
