"Who gave this handkerchief to you?" Fang Tong snatched the handkerchief from Nie Li's hand and opened it to take a closer look. His face was a little ugly as he stared at Nie Li. This caused Nie Li to panic. Why did the situation change so much? The whistling outside was even louder.
"Someone gave this to me last night when I got out of the car and vomited." Nie Li simply said. Fang Tong's grip on Nie Li's wrist was a little painful. He could see that her fingers were gradually tightening.
"Is that person called Tian Zijin?" Fang Tong let out a sigh of relief. He let go of Nie Li's hand and slapped the handkerchief on the table. Nie Li nodded his head. Fang Tong took a sip of tea.
"Nie Li, look." Fang Tong opened the handkerchief. On the blood-stained handkerchief, there was a flower blooming. The flower was very strange, it looked like a perfect petal that was cut in half. "A flower blooms with thousands of petals, but none of them have the heart to make a pair. This is called the Matchless Flower, Tian Lei's symbol. He has the symbol of this flower on his body. Therefore, many things in the Heaven's Sanctum have the appearance of the Matchless Flower. "
"I never thought that you would actually know Tian Zijin." Fang Tong sighed. When he heard that it was Tian Zijin, the doubts and worries in his heart disappeared.
Only after Nie Li explained the events of that night did Fang Tong come to a realization. However, there was still a knot in his heart. Those who dared to kidnap Tian Zijin in Cloud Sea City were either extremely daring or intentional. Obviously, the latter was more likely. Furthermore, according to Nie Li's words, there was someone behind them.
"Brother Nie Li.
Since you know Tian Zijin, are you willing to help me? " Fang Tong probed. He wanted to use Tian Zijin to break into Tian Lei's inner circle and destroy his opponent. Right now, there was a suitable candidate.
"I refuse. If you want to use friendship in exchange for benefits, I can't do it." Nie Li's tone was a little cold. Clearly, he was a little angry. He still remembered Tian Zijin's warm smile last night. He couldn't use Tian Zijin to deal with Tian Lei.
After Nie Li finished speaking, he picked up the handkerchief on the table and left. Looking at Nie Li's angry figure, Fang Tong didn't chase after him to explain. She continued to sip her tea, but her eyes looked a little sad.
Nie Li returned to his room, washed the handkerchief, and quickly dried it by the stove. He picked up the oil-paper umbrella that was prepared by the servants at the door and walked out of the Fang Mansion. There were very few people outside. Only a few hawkers were still shivering in the wind and snow, rubbing their red palms and dry cheeks.
Some beggars by the side of the alley were covered in snow and motionless. It was unknown whether they were dead or alive. Nie Li sighed. This kind of winter was a disaster for these people.
The deep and shallow footprints were quickly restored to their original appearance by the wind and snow. Walking out of the city gate, there were no boats coming and going from the ferry. The blue sea and the boundless sky reflected the entire world, making it incomparably silent. Nie Li stood in the same place, looking at the distant grey sky and the curtain of snow. A kind of artistic conception spontaneously arose, and he had a new understanding of the Snow Blade Technique.
As he walked along the coast, he saw the boat he was anchored in. Because of the canopy, the inside of the boat wasn't ravaged by the heavy snow. After walking in, Nie Li's body suddenly trembled. On a small table inside, there was a black robe with red embroidery. He couldn't be more familiar with this style.
Apart from his father, only Qin Xinyin had this robe. What did she mean by putting it here? This was the only memento he had left for her. Was she giving it back to him? Was this a silent farewell?
Nie Li's spirit was sad. He took off the black fur coat, and his body couldn't help but shiver. A martial artist's blood was like a dragon. How could he be afraid of this little bit of cold?
He wrapped the black robe on top of the red battle suit. The black robe was red with a golden red pattern and plum blossoms on the edge. The black color made the red color of the robe a bit thicker.
After dressing up neatly, Nie Li finally put on the black fur coat and walked out of the canopy. Looking at the boundless sea and this small boat, perhaps he was it. When he set foot on this road, there was no turning back. He became a lonely boat in this vast Jianghu.
"Old friend, goodbye." Nie Li saw it and pulled down the rope hanging at the bow. Using the bamboo shoot, he and the small boat swam towards the sea. With a kick, his left foot touched the deck of the boat. His body jumped a few times in the air and landed on the shore. The boat floated further and further away.
"Cross all the people who come and go, father, use the knife to cross people in the future!" Nie Li seemed to have cut off something, but his eyes were full of waves. He could no longer hide the calm and deep. He turned the depression in his heart into hot tears.
"Father said that men can't cry casually." Nie Li felt his face was hot. He was just about to wipe it with his hand, but no matter how he wiped it, his tears failed to live up to his expectations. Tick, tick, tick.
"But why can't I help it?" Nie Li muttered to himself. In order not to cry, he covered his eyes with his hand. He thought that this could stop his tears.
"This is the love between men and women that people talk about. It is like! But why is it so painful? " Nie Li's tears melted the ice and snow. In the whistling wind, his cry was weak and inaudible, but the hot tears were like the light on the sea.
Love can compete with frost and snow. Nie Li's tears were less and stopped. Wiping the tears on his face, he walked towards the city. He didn't look back at the boat and let the latter disappear between heaven and earth. At this moment, he threw away the worries of the past. When he put down the worries, there was only revenge and survival.
Not long after Nie Li left, a graceful woman walked on the dock in the heavy snow. She was holding a plum blossom in her hand. Although her expression was melancholic, her beautiful face added a bit of sadness to her, which made her look even more pitiful. The most beautiful thing was that pair of eyes, covered with a layer of mist.
Looking at the empty dock, Qin Xinyin looked around, but she couldn't see anything except the snow. Only she and Nie Li knew where the boat was. Now he appeared, why didn't he see her?
The boat that he treasured the most had already left. Did that mean that he had left as well? Leave this place and go to a place that she didn't know. Qin Xinyin smiled sadly and put the plum blossom in her hand on the shore where the boat was docked.
The snow here was melted. There were a few blades of grass under the snow. They were bent, but they were still green. Qin Xinyin put the plum blossom aside and left. When she knew that he shed tears for this land, Qin Xinyin felt that she wasn't disappointed. It was just the will of the heavens.
The red of the plum blossom and the green of the grass were buried under each other's brilliance. Nie Li walked on the street. Based on his memory, he arrived at the Tian Residence. Because it was snowing, there was no one at the door.
"Knock knock" Nie Li knocked on the door twice. A moment later, a man wearing a coarse short jacket came out. He looked ordinary, but there were calluses on his hands. He was also a martial artist.
"May I ask who you are looking for?" His tone was cold, and he was hostile towards Nie Li. "I am looking for Tian Zijin, Miss Tian." Nie Li put away the oil paper umbrella.
"No instructions. My family's Miss does not see outsiders." After he finished speaking, he was about to close the door. Nie Li exerted strength in his palm, and with a bang, he forcibly stopped the door. The servant also looked at Nie Li in surprise.
She took out a handkerchief from her bosom and handed it to the servant. The servant looked at it for a while before opening the door. His expression became slightly respectful as he said, "Please allow me to inform Master and Miss." He disappeared in a puff of smoke.
"Master, Miss." The servant walked into the main hall. Although it was snowing outside, it was warm and comfortable inside. Tian Lei and Tian Zijin were sitting at the table, talking to each other.
"What's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry?" Tian Lei's voice was a little strict. When he was with his daughter, he hated it when others disturbed him. This was something that everyone in the Tian Residence knew. The servant was also frightened and quickly knelt on the ground.
The servant raised his head and looked at Tian Zijin before saying, "Master, there's a handsome boy outside. He's holding Miss's handkerchief."
"Zijin, what's going on?" Thinking of a man holding his daughter's handkerchief, Tian Lei's heart was filled with anger. A woman's handkerchief was a personal item, how could it be casually given to others?
"Father, I'll tell you about this matter slowly. Go and invite that person in first." Tian Zijin pulled Tian Lei's arm and shook it. She then said to the servant and waited for him to leave.
"Father, do you remember that someone sneaked into the residence and kidnapped me? Wasn't I saved by someone? Last night, when I went out with Zhou Qing, I met this person. When I saw that his face was different, I immediately gave him the handkerchief. "Tian Zijin said simply.
"Zijin! It was so dark that night. How did you know that it was this person who saved you? You're too careless. "Tian Lei was worried that his daughter would be deceived and hurriedly said.
"It can't be wrong. I remember his voice." As soon as his voice fell, Nie Li had already followed the servant into the hall. "Master, Miss, the person has been brought." He opened the door and asked for instructions. "You can leave first!" Tian Lei let the servant leave. On the other hand, he let the guest in.
When he came in, Nie Li looked around. Although the Tian Residence isn't as big as the Prince's Residence, it's not inferior to the Fang and Yang Residences. Furthermore, the Tian Residence occupies a large area with a large amount of empty space. Most of the people in the residence are people with martial arts. In such an environment, Nie Li couldn't figure out how someone could kidnap Tian Zijin.
Nie Li walked into the main hall and saw Tian Lei and Tian Zijin sitting at the table in the middle of the room. There was no stove in the room, but it was very warm. Nie Li had always heard of Tian Lei, but he didn't know who he was. After looking at him, his kind appearance made people feel that he was more like a businessman and not someone from the underworld that everyone feared.
When Tian Lei saw Nie Li, he couldn't help but exclaim. This child's brows were arrogant, his temperament was elegant, and his appearance was handsome. He was simply a rare handsome man. Furthermore, his internal force was vigorous. Although it wasn't strong, it gave people a very sharp aura. He should be someone who uses a blade or sword.
