Given Song Qingshu's cultivation, no one would be able to disappear so quickly in front of him. Unless … he hadn't disappeared at all.
He stretched out his hand and grabbed toward a mottled wall at the side. The marks of time could be seen on the wall, and there was even a lot of moss. It was as if this small alley had been here for several decades.
At this moment, the wall suddenly moved. It was as if a section of the wall had grown legs out of thin air and was running away with all its might. However, how could he outrun the hand behind him?
With an agonizing cry, the hand pressed down on his shoulder. In that instant, he lost all his strength.
Looking at the masked man who was paralyzed on the ground, Song Qingshu was no stranger to this kind of attire. He had seen it many times in movies back then.
"Ninja?" Song Qingshu didn't understand why a Japanese ninja would come to assassinate him. He had thought that it would be someone like Dugu Ming who was so jealous that he would send someone.
"You know martial arts, and it's at such a high level?" The ninja's tone was filled with astonishment.
"I never said that I don't know martial arts." Song Qingshu spread out his hands. (You're blaming me now?) Thankfully, he had shaken off the Central Plains Red Dot earlier. Otherwise, it wouldn't be convenient for him to expose himself now. However, this guy really wasn't good at protecting people. If the real Jia Baoyu was here, it would be dangerous.
"How did you see through my Earth Evasion Technique?" The ninja's face was filled with disbelief.
"You guys call this thing Earth Evasion?" Song Qingshu fiddled with the camouflage cloth on the ninja's body. He couldn't tell the material of the cloth, but objectively speaking, the disguise was indeed very similar. If it wasn't for the fact that his cultivation was no longer limited to his eyes and he could rely on his aura to identify people, he might really have been fooled.
"Baka, our Japanese ninja's Five Elements Evasion Technique is the best in the world. You're not allowed to humiliate us!" the ninja said angrily.
Song Qingshu directly gave him a slap. "Baka your head. I'm a Taiya butterfly."
However, the ninja didn't get angry. Instead, he was elated. "You're also a Japanese?"
Song Qingshu ignored him and directly asked, "Why are you here to assassinate me? Who sent you? "
At this moment, the ninja finally understood. How could the other party be a Japanese?
Song Qingshu saw the determination on his face and knew that he probably wouldn't say anything. He didn't want to waste time and directly used the Soul Transfer Technique to ask the same question.
The ninja's face was full of struggle and confusion. He stuttered, "Princess … Goryeo murder case … Key clue …"
Song Qingshu frowned and was about to ask again when he noticed that black blood was flowing out of the other's mouth. He must have bitten through the poison in his teeth and coincidentally encountered Song Qingshu's Soul Transfer Art. That was why he was struggling at death's door.
"I was too careless." Song Qingshu was a little annoyed. These were the necessary skills of a ninja. He should have been prepared in advance.
However, he was still able to glean enough information from his words. The reason why the ninja came to assassinate him was because the Dual Cultivator Princess had told him that she had a crucial clue.
Could it be that the murder case in Goryeo was related to the Japanese? Song Qingshu suddenly realized that the direction of his investigation was limited. He had only investigated who had the most motive in Goryeo. But now that he thought about it, didn't the Japanese also have a huge motive? They made use of the death of an important figure of the Wuchen Group to provoke suspicion among the various forces in Goryeo and cause internal strife. This way, it would be easier for the Japanese to invade in the future.
However, the so-called crucial evidence was just an excuse that Gu Zixian came to find him. The Japanese had hidden so well, but in the end, they were exposed by a joke. Yaoyao Literature Network
"Speaking of which, life is really unpredictable!" Thinking of all this, Song Qingshu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He had investigated for half a day and found nothing, but in the end, he actually found a clue like this. It seemed that he was still too far away from being Di Renjie, Bao Qingtian, Conan, etc. However, he might be able to open up a new line of investigation — a lucky detective?
Nothing could beat good luck!
Song Qingshu's expression suddenly changed. Wait, since they came to assassinate me, how could they let go of Gu Zixian who provided the clue? Thinking of this, he hurriedly rushed back.
Madam Dual Cultivator was having a private conversation with her daughter. He didn't know what they were talking about, but the two of them were blushing.
Madam Dual Cultivator was very surprised by his return. Gu Zixian was surprised and couldn't help but feel happy. The two of them had just had the most intimate relationship, and she couldn't wait to be together with him all the time.
After Song Qingshu explained the purpose of his visit, Madam Dual Cultivator replied, "There are no assassins here. I think we have strengthened the patrols during this period, so it's not easy for them to make a move."
Song Qingshu nodded. After being attacked by the Heavenly Sect, Galdan, Peerless City, and Dual Cultivator Mansion didn't dare to take it lightly. In addition, after the incident in Goryeo, the Western Xia Country also sent more people to protect the envoys of various countries. Therefore, it was very difficult for the Japanese ninjas to sneak in. Most of them would choose to make a move when they were outside.
Thinking of this, he hurriedly told Gu Zixian again and again not to sneak out to look for him. It was too dangerous.
"But, I miss you." Gu Zixian's voice had a hint of coquettishness. Madam Dual Cultivator Mansion was very surprised. Her daughter had been cold and arrogant since she was a child. When had she ever shown such a feminine side?
"I will come to look for you." Song Qingshu comforted her. Although Gu Zixian's martial arts weren't weak, the Japanese ninjas were very good at unorthodox martial arts. They were especially proficient in the art of assassination. He didn't want her to take risks. Moreover, the sweet and gentle nature of the girl was also very attractive to him.
Madam Dual Cultivator Mansion had a strange expression on her face. She thought, 'My daughter is going to get married in the future, and you are going too far by stealing my daughter in front of me.' However, when she thought of his unfathomable martial arts and the fact that he had helped Dual Cultivator Mansion, she didn't say anything in the end.
After coming out of the Dual Cultivator Mansion, Song Qingshu wanted to go to the Japanese side to investigate. However, he hesitated for a moment and decided to look for the Fu sisters first. His identity was a little sensitive, and it would be more convenient for them to come forward to resolve this matter.
After arriving at the Korean embassy, Song Qingshu hesitated for a moment and decided to look for Fu Junyu first. This lass had a good relationship with him, unlike her elder sister who was like an iceberg all day long. When she saw him, it was as if she was looking at a thief.
"What are you here for?" Fu Junyi just happened to turn a corner and walked out. When she saw him, she couldn't help but frown.
"Can't I take a look around?" Song Qingshu's lips twitched. He wondered if this woman had been abandoned by a tall, rich, and handsome man in the past. Otherwise, why would she have such a huge grudge?
"If you are here to look for my younger sister, I advise you to stop your wishful thinking. What kind of character is my younger sister? How would she fall for a profligate son like you?" Fu Junyi said calmly.
Song Qingshu was so angry that he laughed. "Miss, where do you get your confidence from?"
"What? Don't tell me you are not here to look for my younger sister." Fu Junyi held her sword and stared at him with a sneer.
Seeing her cold and arrogant look, Song Qingshu was a little angry. He rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "Compared to your younger sister, I like you more as an elder sister. This time, I specially came to look for you."
Fu Junyi didn't expect this answer. Although she had many admirers in this life, they didn't dare to be the slightest bit rude because of her identity and martial arts. She had never heard such a bold and direct "confession" from a man. In an instant, her face turned red.
