When Huo Ying went to the fourth courtyard, a visitor came to the fifth courtyard at the same time. The visitor was thin and small, with an unprepossessing appearance. But when he appeared at the door, even Little Sister Tang stopped what she was doing. Cleaning up the fallen leaves was very important to her.
Bai Li.
Because of some well-known reasons, the head disciple of Mizar Peak had a lot more authority than the other head disciples. His status was also half a head higher. No matter where he went, he would never be ignored.
But it seemed that Little Sister Tang's attention to him was not limited to his status. Seeing the actual commander of the Mizar Peak's secret emissaries, Little Sister Tang did not conceal her hostility at all.
With a sway of her body, she had already arrived at the courtyard's door, blocking Bai Li who was walking in.
Four eyes met. Little Sister Tang did not back down, but the illustrious Bai Li had a haggard and exhausted expression.
"Please step aside." Bai Li opened his mouth.
"You are not welcome here." Little Sister Tang did not move half a step and said bluntly.
"There is no place that welcomes me." Bai Li looked at her and said. The secret emissaries of Mizar Peak had the duty of supervising the various peaks and courtyards. They could be said to be the most feared and most unwelcome character in the North Style Academy. But this was their mission and duty. If it was someone else who said this, they would reveal some helplessness and grievance. But when it came from his mouth, it did not have the slightest bit of color. On the contrary, it was a little mocking.
"Then if you are tactful, please." Little Sister Tang pointed outside. She said "please", but her tone was no different from saying "get lost".
Bai Li calmly shook his head: "The five courtyards do not restrict anyone's entry and exit. Moreover, this is my duty. Not to mention entering the five courtyards, even if I want to enter your room, you have no right to stop me."
"You dare!" Little Sister Tang said coldly.
"When needed, I will. But now, I am looking for him. "Bai Li looked at Lu Ping who was sitting on the bamboo chair in the courtyard.
Little Sister Tang knew that her obstruction was unreasonable. It was only because of her personal grudge that she created trouble out of nothing, so she moved aside.
"You will not have a good ending." Seeing Bai Li walk past her, Little Sister Tang clenched her teeth and said.
"Not many Phantom Envoys have a good ending," Bai Li said without turning his head.
By the time he finished speaking, he had already arrived in front of Lu Ping. However, Lu Ping, who was completely immersed in his cultivation, was unaware of all this. Bai Li looked up and down at Lu Ping. He was somewhat puzzled by his current state, and turned to look at Little Sister Tang in confusion.
"What happened to him?" He didn't care about Little Sister Tang's attitude towards him. If there was something he needed to understand, he would immediately take the initiative to talk to her.
"How could you not know his situation?" Little sister Tang's words were filled with sarcasm. She seemed to have a deep grudge with Bai Li, and every word she said was filled with hostility.
Bai Li wasn't surprised at all. He continued, "Of course I know what happened to him. What I'm asking is, what's his current situation?"
Although the two of them did not deliberately call out to Lu Ping, they had talked for so long, but in the end, Lu Ping did not even bat an eyelid. Wouldn't it be too much to say that he was sleeping soundly? At this time, perhaps Han Li had already been woken up. Bai Li inadvertently glanced at Han Li's room. Although the neighbors of the Northern Mountain New Courtyard did not know the identity and situation of each person in the five courtyards, as the actual commander of the Phantom Envoys, he was well aware of it.
"He is now cultivating. You'd better not disturb him." Speaking of this, Little Sister Tang finally put away some of her hostility towards Bai Li, but in the end, she could not use the words of pleading, and her tone was a little stiff.
"Cultivating?" Bai Li continued to be puzzled. There were many ways to cultivate, and quiet meditation was one of them. But no matter which way it was, it would not be like the situation of Lu Ping in front of him, where he could not feel any fluctuations of the power of the soul. What was he cultivating?
"Lu Ping." Bai Li called out. This time, he naturally used the soul of Ming, which was penetrating, but also gentle. But Lu Ping still did not respond at all. Bai Li stood there in thought, and Little Sister Tang beside him was ready to make a move, as long as Bai Li used some fierce means.
But he did not.
After thinking for a while, Bai Li suddenly turned around and sat on the empty bamboo chair of Huo Ying next to Lu Ping, lying down comfortably. His face showed a somewhat relaxed expression, and he actually closed his eyes to rest.
Little Sister Tang was stunned.
The fallen leaves in the courtyard had not been swept away. Occasionally, when the wind blew, leaves would be swept to the ground. Some of them were from the ginkgo trees in the corner of the courtyard, and some were swept into the courtyard from somewhere.
Little Sister Tang stood there quietly, ignoring these leaves that would make her extremely annoyed. She seemed to have found something more important, staring at Bai Li.
Seeing him lying there defenseless, seeing him close his eyes, and the fact that he was all alone, she could not help but feel a chill run down her spine.
Opportunity!
Little Sister Tang's heart was full of such words, and one picture after another kept jumping in her mind. The past, the real, and the one she was planning to create now. Driven by this idea, Little Sister Tang could not help but take a step forward. She was a little nervous, not because she was worried about the consequences, but that she would not be able to seize this opportunity. If that was the case, maybe she would not have another chance?
Taking a step forward, Little Sister Tang stopped when she thought of this. She hesitated again. On the other side, Bai Li's breathing gradually steadied. He had actually fallen asleep on the bamboo chair.
The opportunity could not be missed!
Little Sister Tang finally made up her mind. Gritting her teeth, she was about to go forward again. Suddenly, a hand was placed on her shoulder.
Little Sister Tang suddenly turned her head. She was so focused that she did not even detect someone had silently moved behind her. It was rare for an expert of her level to have this kind of weakness.
Sun Yingsheng stood behind her and looked at her. The two of them could not be said to be friends, but he knew a little about Little Sister Tang. He knew why Little Sister Tang had such enmity towards Bai Li. Because Bai Li had killed her teacher. This matter was not secret. The person in the wrong was Little Sister Tang's teacher. Bai Li had been performing the duties of a Shadow Envoy.
So this matter, the academy would not blame Bai Li at all, but praise him. The other students of that xiuzhe could not raise any objections. Only Little Sister Tang, although she understood the right and wrong, could not accept that the teacher she had respected for her entire life was killed just like that. No matter how heinous her teacher's crimes were, he had always treated her extremely well. He had also treated the other students extremely well. The entire matter did not implicate his students at all.
But all the students immediately forgot about this point and discussed about her teacher's deceit with the others.
Little Sister Tang could not accept it. She wanted to leave. Her identity as a student of the North Style Academy was far less important than her teacher's kindness.
But now, she suddenly discovered such an opportunity. An opportunity to take revenge for her teacher.
Little Sister Tang glared at Sun Yingsheng, hinting him not to meddle.
"How can there be such an easy thing." Sun Yingsheng patted Little Sister Tang's shoulder with his left hand. His right hand was holding a cup of hot tea. The teacup was simple and unadorned. One look and you could tell it was not an ordinary object.
"What!" Little Sister Tang said in a low voice. She was afraid of waking Bai Li up and missing the opportunity.
"The number of people he has killed is probably more than you have ever seen. You think this is an opportunity?" Sun Yingsheng said.
Little Sister Tang was silent. She really did not have much experience in this matter.
"Nervousness, hesitation, and loss of vigilance. You are just throwing your life away." Sun Yingsheng continued.
"Moreover, you clearly know in your heart that you have no reason to kill him." Sun Yingsheng said.
Little Sister Tang was still silent. A moment later, she suddenly turned around.
"I'm going out for a walk and sweeping the courtyard clean." She said.
"These guys lack the most basic respect for the rich. I really don't want to stay here for another day." Sun Yingsheng mumbled.
"Is that so? As far as I know, you actually don't want to return to your family, right? "Bai Li who was lying on the bamboo chair suddenly opened his mouth and said.
