Right at this moment, Wei XuanXuan suddenly felt the sinister aura surrounding her disappear without a trace; the summer weather had turned warm once again! Ling Jian bent down and supported her, helping her up. Wei XuanXuan blushed and wanted to struggle free, but her body was limp without any strength. She was afraid that if she left Ling Jian's arms, she would fall down again. Helpless, she could only lean on him for a while.
In the blink of an eye, the streets seemed to have regained their usual liveliness as the bustling sounds of the crowd entered Wei XuanXuan's ears once more. At this moment, she was truly shocked. So, under the pressure of the two men, she actually did not hear anything at all!
Ling Jian's left hand was supporting Wei XuanXuan as he stood upright. His right hand was completely relaxed, as if it was limp by his side, as if he did not use any strength at all. However, Ye BaiFei could tell with a single glance that this was a perfect defensive stance. This was because Ling Jian's right hand and the hilt of the sword at his waist were in a perfect arc. If he were to draw his sword from this angle, he would be able to achieve his fastest speed without any obstructions! Furthermore, there was a natural rotational force protecting his entire body. It could be said that he could attack or retreat without any risk of failure. If it were him, he would not be able to do the same!
Of course, only experts like Ye BaiFei would be able to see through the profoundness of Ling Jian's posture. If it was a lower level pugilist, he would not be able to see through Ling Jian's posture and would draw his sword to attack. Ling Jian would be able to kill him the moment he drew his sword!
Ye BaiFei's eyes revealed a trace of admiration as he relaxed his body, as if he was not prepared for Ling Jian at all! At the moment when they brushed past each other, Ling Jian's fingers seemed to have moved. At the same time, Ye BaiFei's shoulders seemed to have shrugged, but nothing happened.
In the blink of an eye, Ye BaiFei's weirdly dressed figure had already disappeared into the crowd behind Ling Jian. Only then did Ling Jian's tense nerves relax, and he felt that his palms were full of cold sweat.
Although the two of them had decided on the date of the battle, the moment they brushed past each other, their killing intent rose at the same time! They were assassins, not dueling swordsmen! His only goal was to kill! If Ye BaiFei had really believed Ling Jian's words of a decisive battle at midnight and walked over without any preparation, then Ye BaiFei would have already become a cold corpse on the ground!
Similarly, if Ling Jian had trusted Ye BaiFei without any precaution, then Ye BaiFei's attack would have been a fatal blow! Ling Jian, who was supporting Wei XuanXuan, would definitely not be able to dodge the attack!
In the instant they passed each other, the two of them had already experienced several life and death situations! The danger and subtlety of the situation were truly inconceivable and indescribable!
What Ling Jian did not know was that at the moment when Ye BaiFei had brushed past him and disappeared into the crowd, the cold sweat on his forehead finally began to flow down uncontrollably! Ling Jian's extremely sharp killing intent and the sword aura that seemed to have already become one with the sword was something that Ye BaiFei had never seen before in his life! He could not help but secretly decide that if Ling Jian dared to meet him tonight, he would not hesitate to expose his hidden strength and kill this terrifying enemy on the spot!
"Are you guys enemies?" Wei XuanXuan asked with a trembling voice, her beautiful eyes still showing a trace of fear.
"Oh," Ling Jian replied indifferently, but this caused Wei XuanXuan to be so angry that she even forgot about her fear!
"Oh?"
What kind of answer is this? Is it a yes or no? Even if he did not answer, it would still be better than this despicable 'oh' right?
At most, you are just a servant of the Ling House. How dare you be so arrogant? Who do you think you are!
Young Mistress Wei was instantly enraged and snorted angrily. She shook off Ling Jian's hand and wiped it on her sleeves in disgust. Then, she stomped forward, not even bothering to sit on the sedan chair.
Ling Jian's gaze turned cold, but he did not say anything in the end. He silently followed behind her without saying a word. He was slightly angry in his heart. She is just a young mistress from an official's family, how can she have so many problems?! He could not help but sigh to himself. Young Master is actually not that easy to rely on! Just this young mistress's temper, who can endure it? If it was him, he would have already given her a big slap!
Under the influence of the anger and humiliation in her heart, Young Mistress Wei was also unyielding and actually displayed a shocking amount of willpower! She actually persevered all the way to my door and was still valiant and high-spirited! Along the way, she did not even speak a single word!
From Ling Jian's previous performance and Yu BingYan's attitude, Wei XuanXuan had already guessed that even if this black-clothed cold-looking fellow was really a servant of the Ling family, he would definitely not be a simple character. He was definitely someone with a strong background and great abilities. However, she did not know why, but when she saw Ling Jian's cold expression, she felt a wave of discomfort in her heart. Especially when this person was a man of few words, it was as if he would not speak unless absolutely necessary. Furthermore, his face had an expression that rejected people from a thousand miles away! He was so rigid that he was like a zombie.
Wei XuanXuan had always been proud of her beauty. Although she was not as beautiful as Yu BingYan or Xiao YanXue, she was definitely a beauty that was one in a thousand. However, this cold blockhead did not even look at her. It was as if she was no different from a common flower in his heart. Even when he occasionally looked at her, there was not the slightest hint of surprise in his eyes. It was as if he was looking at an ordinary person, or rather, he was looking at a complete stranger! This was truly infuriating!
Could it be that this person was transformed from a block of wood?!
Damned blockhead!
Even her master, Ling Tian, when they first met in the palace, although he was also as cold as this person, he was still polite and amiable! This black-clothed fellow actually had a look of disdain on his face! This lady will definitely find a chance to teach you a lesson!
Along the way, Wei XuanXuan was thinking hard about how she could make this fellow reveal a wretched expression in front of her and make fun of him. Her expression changed constantly and she did not even realize that she had already arrived at the entrance of her house!
Turning around, Ling Jian's skinny black figure had already turned around and walked back. His footsteps were resolute, and he did not have the slightest intention of looking back! From the start to the end, not only did he not speak a single word, he actually did not even bid farewell to Wei XuanXuan after sending her to her doorstep! Under the rays of the setting sun, Ling Jian's skinny figure was elongated, giving off a desolate and lonely feeling.
Only then did she remember that she was not the only one who did not speak a single word along the way. That block of wood did not speak a single word either! He is just a servant of the Ling House, and he actually dared to be so rude to me! Thinking about this, Wei XuanXuan's anger rose again, and she could not help but stomp her feet fiercely! However, she suddenly felt a piercing pain in her feet, and she could not help but cry out in pain. Tears flowed out of her eyes, and she almost fell to the ground. In order to spite this fool, this lady actually used her three inch golden lotus to walk such a long distance! My feet must have blisters, you damned blockhead! Just you wait …
Ling Tian looked at the remaining rays of the sun in the west, and said to Ling Chen, "It's about time, the sky is going to turn dark soon."
While Ling Chen was able to communicate telepathically with Ling Tian, she did not understand what he meant by 'it's about time', and could only nod her head vaguely.
At this moment, the both of them had already dismounted from their horses, and displayed their top-notch movement techniques, hiding in a lush tree. Below, there was a medium-sized courtyard house. General Tie guarded the door, and the surface was speckled with rust! From the looks of the dilapidated state of the courtyard, it was likely that no one had lived here for a long time. However, with their outstanding eyesight, they could vaguely see that the decorations in the courtyard were neat and tidy, and there were even a few teacups on the table. According to the exterior of the courtyard, since no one had lived here for a long time, the milky white table should have been covered in a thick layer of dust. However, the table was still as clean as ever, as though there was not a single speck of dust on it! This was completely illogical!
The only logical explanation was that there was someone living in this courtyard, and it was someone who had moved in recently!
This was the hiding place of the Golden Leaf assassin, Ye BaiFei, that Ling Tian had specially instructed the Violent Wind Gang to investigate. With regards to Ye BaiFei, Ling Tian felt that the timing of his arrival was just too coincidental! Just when the heroes of the world were gathered, he suddenly appeared. If someone were to say that he came here for no reason, Ling Tian would definitely not believe it!
Ye BaiFei was an assassin, and an extremely outstanding one at that. For him to come to Sky Bearing at such a sensitive time, he definitely had a few targets, but his goal was definitely to kill someone! If it was any other time, Ye BaiFei would have come, and Ling Tian would not be willing to provoke such a strong enemy! While Ye BaiFei's martial arts were extremely high, he was definitely not a match for Ling Tian. However, for a top-notch assassin like him, there would definitely be a mysterious organization or powerful family supporting him from the shadows. If not, how would he be able to obtain accurate information on his target and assassinate him?
The so-called loner assassin, who did not interact with anyone, only existed in YY novels. In fact, it was impossible for such a person to exist in the real world. Without the support of a huge system, even the best assassin would not be able to operate all the way! As long as one was human, there would definitely be times when one slacked off. Even the most outstanding assassin would not be an exception!
Accepting the mission, setting the target, setting a time limit, surveying the terrain of the target … all the way until the assassination was successful, if all of these tasks were left to the assassin to plan, set up, and wait for the right opportunity to kill, he would probably only be able to kill a few people in his lifetime, and would definitely tire himself to death! Even if he did not tire himself to death, he would definitely starve to death due to the lack of business!
While Ye BaiFei's strength was nothing to be feared, he could still be considered an outstanding expert! In his career as an assassin, he had only failed once. His target was the Family Head of Tamago, Yu ManLou, and the one who stopped him was the top-notch expert, Yu ManTian. While he failed in his assassination, he was still able to escape unscathed!
Under such a delicate situation, if Ye BaiFei were to succeed in assassinating an important figure, it would definitely cause chaos in Sky Bearing. This was something that Ling Tian could not tolerate, because it would definitely affect Ling Tian's overall plan!
