Nie Li looked in the direction of the voice and saw a man in black clothes. His luxurious satin was emitting a soft light. He had a golden belt around his waist and a pearl hairpin on top of his head. He was playing with three iron balls in his hand.
He had a pair of thick eyebrows that reached his temples. His eyes made people not dare to look at him directly. His appearance was ordinary, but he gave people a different feeling. The others took a few steps back. His aura made people feel as if they were facing a fierce tiger. The people around him couldn't compare to him.
Next to him was a man in white clothes. He looked feminine and had fair skin. Women would be jealous of him. However, compared to this man, he was too far away.
"Young hero, you have good knife skills. You're so sincere," the man said with a smile. He didn't even look at the corpse next to him. The iron balls in his hand kept spinning.
"Thank you for the compliment." Nie Li turned around and was about to leave.
"Good boy. Our big brother is so polite to you. You're amazing." The man's face was full of smiles. However, the man in white beside him couldn't help but speak in a strange tone.
"Bai Lu, don't talk nonsense. Young hero, please don't mind him. My younger brother is stupid and doesn't know how to be polite. "Before Nie Li could speak, the man spoke first. Bai Lu quickly shut his mouth.
"Young hero, you don't look familiar. It must be your first time in Cloud Sea City! I'm Fang Tong. I'd like to be friends with you. " Seeing that Nie Li didn't speak, the man spoke again. Bai Lu couldn't help but look at the man. In Cloud Sea City, who could be treated like this by their big brother? Only this boy.
Nie Li was shocked by the name. Fang Tong. The leader of the Cloud Sea Gang that Zhou Qing mentioned was Fang Tong. Looking at his demeanor, there was no doubt that he was the leader of the Cloud Sea Gang. However, such a person wanted to be friends with him. Was it a conspiracy or fate?
"I'm Nie Li. Greetings, Mr. Fang." Nie Li cupped his hands and said. His attitude was neither servile nor overbearing. He wouldn't bow his head just because the other party was the leader of the Cloud Sea Gang. He wanted to be the supreme leader of Jianghu.
Seeing the fighting spirit and pride in Nie Li's eyes, Fang Tong didn't care. Instead, he valued this person even more.
"It's fate that brought us together. Young hero, would you like to come to my mansion for a chat?" Fang Tong invited Bai Lu warmly. Bai Lu was even more confused. Why did Big Brother think so highly of a kid in the Eviscerating Realm? Killing such a person was as easy as crushing an ant.
"I still have some things to do. Maybe another day!" Nie Li politely declined. Fang Tong's sudden invitation made him unable to grasp the other party's attitude and thoughts. What if this was a feast at Hongmen? But with Fang Tong's strength, if he wanted to take him down, it couldn't be any easier.
Fang Tong wasn't discouraged by Nie Li's rejection. After Nie Li left, Bai Lu couldn't help but ask, "What's so good about that brat? You treated him so courteously and even put on airs."
"That's not arrogance, but rather his unyielding character. This child is extraordinary." Fang Tong's gaze was deep as she looked at Nie Li's departing figure. That tall and straight figure was like an emerald cypress, tenacious and unyielding.
"Are you preparing to recruit him?" Hearing Fang Tong's high evaluation, Bai Lu knew that Fang Tong wanted to recruit Nie Li.
"I also have this idea. But with this person's temperament, I'm afraid it's difficult to succeed. Even if we use force, there won't be any benefits." Fang Tong's five fingers rotated, and the iron balls spun quickly. Bai Lu's eyes flashed with contemplation.
"Let's wait and see! This is a good start. There will be opportunities in the future. Moreover, Xie Peng's family was exterminated. I'm afraid someone in the gang can't help it. "Fang Tong's eyes were cold, like a fierce tiger that had just woken up.
"Big Brother, are you talking about Tian Lei?" Bai Lu thought for a moment and said a name.
"Who is it? Everyone knows. I'm afraid the Cloud Sea City will not be peaceful. We'll be busy in the future." Fang Tong's five fingers suddenly clenched, and the iron balls were tightly pressed together.
"I haven't fought side by side with Big Brother for a long time. This time, let's show them that the Cloud Sea Gang is not something that anyone can covet." Bai Lu outlined an evil smile, which made him look even more demonic. But the murderous aura on his body made people shudder.
"Go down and let people clean up this body and send it to the Beggar Clan. Don't do anything else." Fang Tong arranged things for Bai Lu, stepped over the body, and left without looking back.
Walking on the street, Nie Li was thinking about what Fang Tong was thinking. It was reasonable to say that he killed Xie Peng, which was a slap to his face. But he was so friendly to him. Did he not know about it or did he do it on purpose?
He was racking his brains but couldn't think of an answer. Fang Tong's performance was too good. He couldn't see any flaws. This was what Nie Li was afraid of. Nie Li lowered his head and saw half a body in front of him. He couldn't help but look up.
"Miss Qin, why are you here?" The person in front of him was Qin Xinyin. Shouldn't she be chatting with the others in the Yang Mansion? Why did she have time to come here?
"I don't want the people I saved yesterday to die again today." When Qin Xinyin heard from Zhou Yue that Nie Li was looking for him to inquire about something, her heart was in suspense. She couldn't stop worrying, so she used the excuse of not feeling well to sneak out. In such a huge city like Cloud Sea City, she doesn't know where Nie Li is, she can only rely on her intuition.
"I haven't lived long enough, how can I be willing to die?" Nie Li teased. When he saw Qin Xinyin, he was surprised for a moment, but then he was full of joy. He didn't understand this feeling. It was completely different from the feeling of the Inverse Remnant Demon Art. It was warm, peaceful, and sweet.
"Who knows what you're thinking? Why don't you leave? Why do you have to stay here?" Qin Xinyin spoke with a rare expression of concern. She couldn't understand why Nie Li didn't leave when Ocean of Clouds City was surrounded by enemies. Although she didn't want him to leave, she was afraid of the days when she couldn't see him. But as long as he was alive, they would meet again.
"For a promise." Nie Li said decisively. This was him. He was stubborn to the end. When Mu Si risked her life to help him, he couldn't just stay out of it. If it wasn't for this obsession, he wouldn't have practiced his saber a hundred thousand times a day. If it wasn't for this obsession, he wouldn't have walked down the path of martial arts with a crippled body.
"A promise is worth risking your life?" Qin Xinyin's voice couldn't help but raise a few notches. Her eyes were filled with tears. She didn't dare to imagine that someone would risk his life for a promise. Nie Li didn't dare to look at Qin Xinyin. He was afraid that he would shrink back.
"Some things must be done. This is the path I insist on. Although the path ahead is full of dangers, I will stop at the last moment. "Nie Li took a deep breath, raised his head and looked at Qin Xinyin with burning eyes.
Seeing the determination in Nie Li's eyes, Qin Xinyin knew that no matter how she tried to persuade him, it would be useless. Perhaps this was the difference between him and the people of the underworld, who would do anything to survive. Nie Li was magnanimous, free and easy, and lived with himself.
"Promise me, don't take so many risks." Qin Xinyin's tone softened. Nie Li's heart moved and nodded. His appearance was far from his usual arrogance. Qin Xinyin suddenly felt that the youth in front of her was only fourteen years old. She couldn't help but smile.
Nie Li rarely smiled, and Qin Xinyin was the same. Her glance and smile made people yearn for her. Nie Li couldn't help but fall in love with such a beauty.
Although he was arrogant and bloodthirsty, he was still a fourteen year old. However, he was only a fourteen-year-old boy. Perhaps his father's death and his own disability were like a quick-fix drug, turning his innocence and purity into a kind of sickness. But the appearance of Qin Xinyin made another important person in his life other than his father.
Seeing Nie Li staring at her, Qin Xinyin felt shy, but there was also a trace of joy in her heart.
"Can you accompany me for a walk in the Cloud Sea City?" Qin Xinyin saw that Nie Li didn't speak. She wanted to dissolve the ambiguous atmosphere in front of her and quickly said. Nie Li came back to his senses and nodded.
"This Cloud Sea City is famous for its water trade. The water here must be very beautiful. Let's go to the pier outside the city to take a look." Qin Xinyin and Nie Li walked up and down the street. This pair of golden boy and jade girl really made people envious. But seeing the two of them together, everyone was amazed that there was such a perfect match in this world.
"Okay! My ship is just outside the city. " Nie Li nodded in agreement. Then the two of them ran out of the city. Qin Xinyin quietly operated her movement technique. Her movement technique was extremely beautiful, like a fairy from the moon palace, lightly dancing.
Perhaps because she was taking care of Nie Li, Qin Xinyin would sometimes deliberately slow down her speed to let Nie Li catch up. Arriving at the pier, Qin Xinyin's expression didn't change. But Nie Li was a little out of breath.
After all, in order to catch up to Qin Xinyin, he poured all his internal force into his right leg. Only then could he barely catch up.
"Look at how tired you are." Qin Xinyin looked at Nie Li's panting appearance and laughed again. She had already forgotten how many times she laughed today.
"Isn't it because you ran too fast." Nie Li used his internal force a few times to adjust his breathing.
"Oh right, where's your ship?" Qin Xinyin looked at the vast sea. It was the first time she saw the spectacular scene of countless rivers converging together. Countless boats, big and small, came and went, passing by with thousands of sails.
"Mine is a small boat. It's here." Nie Li brought Qin Xinyin to the corner of the pier. His small boat was still here. Qin Xinyin was very curious. It was her first time riding a boat. She jumped onto the boat.
After sitting on the boat, she looked here and there. She didn't have her usual cold and distant appearance. She looked like a little girl. Nie Li smiled and looked at her. Then he also jumped onto the boat. He took down the bamboo on the boat and pushed it on the river. The boat rushed into the boundless sea.
"Let's go." He softly shouted. He looked at the boat and touched the bamboo. It was as if he was still the river-crossing man beside the immortal river. The gratitude and resentment of the Jianghu had nothing to do with him. As usual, he would stop the boat at the ferry, collect a copper coin to cross the river, and tell the story of life.
Ferry people, ferry guests, life is like a tide and water. Send off the old and welcome the new.
