"Uncle An, what do you think of this person?" Zhao Qining asked as he watched Nie Li leave. Actually, he had rewarded Nie Li this time mainly to see how he would react when he encountered so many things.
"Short-sighted, greedy, and ignorant." Uncle An gave a simple evaluation of Nie Li. No matter how strong such a person was, he would not amount to much. He would be a pawn for others for the rest of his life.
"Only such a person would be obedient. Isn't that right? " Zhao Qining asked. Such a person was easy to control. As long as his desires were satisfied, he would be obedient.
Nie Li took the painting and did not return to the Assassins' camp. Instead, he went straight to the Immortal's Abode. The place was sparsely populated during the day. Perhaps only the night would unveil such a brothel.
"Young Master Nie, why have you come?" The owner of the Immortal's Abode, Auntie Liu, walked over to Nie Li. Her mature temperament and voluptuous body exuded a kind of lust.
"Redeem Yun Guiyu." Nie Li did not indulge in her beauty and directly said. Auntie Liu did not expect Nie Li to really come to redeem Yun Guiyu. Ten thousand taels of gold was not a small sum.
"Young Master Nie, have you prepared the ten thousand taels of gold?" Auntie Liu saw Nie Li come empty-handed. Was he going to rob her?
Nie Li waved his right sleeve and flipped his palm. A painting appeared in his hand. "This should be enough, right?" Nie Li handed the painting to Auntie Liu. Auntie Liu took the painting and walked to the table, slowly unfolding it.
"This." Auntie Liu was not an ignorant person. Looking at the painting in front of her, her eyes were filled with admiration. "Good painting, good painting." Auntie Liu focused her gaze on the painting.
"This is Wang Wenyong's original work, Fleeting Grain." Auntie Liu looked at it a few times before saying this. This painting was worth so much. She did not expect this person to be able to take out Wang Wenyong's original work. He was really generous.
"How is it? Is it enough?" Nie Li saw Auntie Liu carefully put the painting away and knew it was enough. "It's enough. Young Master Nie, please rest here. I'll go get Yun Guiyu for you." With that, Auntie Liu left with the painting.
Nie Li casually sat on a chair. Aunt Liu, on the other hand, was carrying the painting and walking towards the roof of the Immortal's Abode with light steps. Although her footsteps were slow, every movement covered a large distance. If Nie Li were to see this scene, he would definitely praise her movement technique.
"Aunt Liu, what's the matter?" Yun Guiyu was still in her room. At this moment, she had lost all of her previous vigor. Her face was haggard and her skin was pale. She looked delicate and weak.
"Someone is looking for you." Aunt Liu said. She didn't feel good seeing her mistress like this. She also knew why her mistress was like this. Other than that person, no one else could make her miss him so much.
"Who? Is it him?" Yun Guiyu hurriedly stood up, but her body had been too weak for the past few days. She lost her balance and fell to the ground. Outside, Aunt Liu heard the muffled sound and broke the door open.
"Miss, how are you?" Auntie Liu's heart ached as she looked at Miss's frail body. Supporting Yun Guiyu, she was a little too light. It was as if she was dragging something that was light as a feather. If she lost her grip, she would fly away.
"I'm fine. I'll be fine after a few days of rest." Yun Guiyu slowly stood up. "It's Nie Li." Auntie Liu said. She knew that Yun Guiyu was waiting for that person and that name. But she still decided to tell the truth.
"It's him." Yun Guiyu's eyes were gloomy. Disappointment was written all over his face. "What is he doing here?" Yun Guiyu said calmly. Nie Li came to the Immortal's Residence so early to find him.
"He's here to redeem you." Aunt Liu sighed and said. Actually, she was still somewhat satisfied with Nie Li. If the Miss liked someone like him, then her feelings would be enough to move the heart. However, the one that the Miss liked was someone who left and never returned.
"Redeem me? Where did he get ten thousand taels of gold?" Yun Guiyu chuckled. Nie Li didn't seem to have a deep family background. Where did he get ten thousand taels of gold? Could it be a lie to meet him?
"Look, he took out Wang Wenyong's Misty Grain." Auntie Liu couldn't help but unroll the scroll in her hand. Yun Guiyu looked at the scroll on the ground. He was lost in thought. After a long time, tears began to fall.
"Mistress, why are you crying?" Auntie Liu saw that Yun Guiyu was crying inexplicably and became anxious. Her mistress's body was weak to begin with. How could she withstand such great sorrow and joy?
"Why him? Why not him?" Yun Guiyu mocked himself. He smiled, but his tears didn't stop. Auntie Liu sighed. Feelings were hard to explain. Perhaps her mistress was the scroll and she was the person in the scroll. She was just a humble existence in the scroll, lonely and lonely, waiting for one person her whole life.
Yun Guiyu's heart was also filled with sorrow. He had used lies and schemes to win Nie Li over. But Nie Li was so sincere. What about that person? He had done so much for him, but in the end, he didn't even make a promise. For the first time, Yun Guiyu felt guilty towards Nie Li.
Perhaps there was a woman who was lucky enough to meet him. But it wasn't Yun Guiyu. There was only one person in her heart. "Auntie Liu, tell him that I'm not feeling well. I won't see him for the time being." Yun Guiyu thought for a while. She didn't dare to face Nie Li. Compared to Nie Li, she was too dirty and scheming. At least when it came to love, Nie Li always had a pure land in his heart.
"But tell him that from now on, I, Yun Guiyu, belong to him. I won't show my face in public anymore. " Yun Guiyu finished and turned around. Auntie Liu silently left. At this moment, Nie Li was still sitting on the chair, but the tea in his cup was already cold.
"Young Master Nie, I'm very happy to make you wait. But because I'm not feeling well, I can't see you. I hope you can forgive me. " Auntie Liu looked at Nie Li. The more she looked, the more satisfied she was. At least compared to that person, Nie Li was undoubtedly more to her liking.
"It's okay. I came here to fulfill my promise with Miss Yun. Now that the ten thousand gold has been paid, Miss Yun is also free. I hope Auntie Liu can pass on a message. "Nie Li looked at Auntie Liu and stood up.
"Young Master Nie, what do you mean? You've redeemed Guiyu's freedom, so Guiyu will naturally follow you." Auntie Liu heard the meaning behind Nie Li's words. In her heart, she was wondering if Nie Li was stupid. Using ten thousand gold just to fulfill a promise.
In this world, how many promises are worth ten thousand gold? "Miss Yun and I didn't have any intentions. We only offended each other after drinking. The only thing I can do is to redeem Miss Yun and give her freedom. This is my compensation." Hearing Nie Li's words, Auntie Liu was even more surprised. Is there really such a person in this world? Ten thousand gold to give freedom to a peerless beauty? This kind of generosity is a little ridiculous. But this made Auntie Liu value Nie Li even more.
"Furthermore, I have no feelings for Miss Yun. I can't stop her from running towards a better happiness. In this world, the love between men and women is mutual consent. And I also have someone in my heart. " When Nie Li spoke, his eyes were filled with reminiscence and happiness. Auntie Liu saw it. She often saw this kind of gaze in Miss Yun's eyes. She can imagine how much Nie Li likes that person.
"This, Young Master Nie, how do you want me to respond to Guiyu?" Auntie Liu still wants Nie Li to stay. In her view, she has her own selfish motives. She doesn't want Miss Yun to wait for that person for the rest of her life. Why don't she give it a try with Nie Li?
"Auntie Liu, please pass on a message. I believe Miss Yun will understand. In the end, the clouds gather and return to the rain. All the feelings in the world are tied to two hearts. I'll take my leave. "Nie Li finished speaking, cupped his fists and left.
Auntie Liu looked at Nie Li's handsome back. He was in high spirits. His black hair fluttered in the wind. Is there really such a strange man in this world? Using a priceless treasure to fulfill a promise and then letting her go?
Why did he do it? A promise? Auntie Liu sighed. She felt that she still can't grasp a person's heart. At least, she can never calculate the variables of a person's heart.
"Miss, he's gone." Auntie Liu returned to the front of the house.
"It's good that he's gone." Yun Guiyu's voice sounded. In the end, he's gone. He won't be like him, leaving and never coming back. She can be considered his woman now.
"Miss, before Young Master Nie left, he asked me to pass on a message to you," Auntie Liu said. Both of them left. However, when one of them left, he took Yun Guiyu's heart with him and the other set her free.
"What message?" Yun Guiyu asked.
"In the end, the clouds gather and return to the rain. All the feelings in the world are tied to two hearts. The promise has been fulfilled. From now on, Miss Yun is free to pursue her own life! "Auntie Liu simply explained Nie Li's meaning.
"Hahahahaha." Yun Guiyu suddenly laughed. So he always met a good person. However, he didn't love him and he didn't love him. He only made him feel warmth.
Auntie Liu stood outside without saying a word. Yun Guiyu's laughter became weaker and weaker. "Auntie Liu, why can't he give me happiness?" Auntie Liu obviously knew who Yun Guiyu was referring to.
"Perhaps, it's because of the different burdens!" Auntie Liu thought for a long time before saying. Yang Fuzhao had too many burdens. He wasn't as free and easy as Nie Li, who had no attachments. He had his own revenge.
"No, Auntie Liu, do you know? They're the same. Their eyes are filled with coldness and cruelty. To them, revenge is their goal. But Yang Fuzhao is a wolf king. He leads his wolf pack and prepares for revenge. Nie Li, on the other hand, is more like a goshawk. He has lost his protection and support. He can only move forward alone, "Yun Guiyu said. Yun Guiyu said. The reason why she valued Nie Li back then was because she could see the hatred in his eyes. It was exactly the same as Yang Fuzhao's.
"But a wolf pack will always have attachments. It will always have attachments and fetters. But a goshawk won't. It only has endless wandering and loneliness, "Yun Guiyu said.
She knew that when the wolf king let go of everything and had something to tie him down, he might come back to her. But what about a goshawk? When would it find a home?
Yun Guiyu looked at the dim yellow sky outside. The reflection of the river reflected a warm yellow. The warmth was like the sunlight on the river. Only when he touched it with his hand did he feel cold.
