While I was still immersed in this unforgettable scene, the Kongming lanterns flew into the sky, farther and farther away, and gradually disappeared.
"Gone so soon?" Su Lijin was a little disappointed because she hadn't seen enough. After returning to the capital, she was afraid that she would not have time to appreciate it again. What's more, the Kongming Festival was not popular in the capital.
"If you want to see it, we can come again next time."
Su Lijin didn't say anything. After looking at these Kongming lanterns, she couldn't help but think of the victims.
Releasing these Kongming lanterns can be considered as a way to pray for them.
Xiao Shengheng stood up and brushed off the dust on his clothes.
"It's getting late, let's go down the mountain." As he said this, he stretched out his hand towards Su Lijin.
The latter didn't hesitate to put his hand on his, and used his strength to pat the dust off his clothes, and then the two of them walked towards the foot of the mountain.
Su Lijin now suspects that Xiao Shengheng brought her to the top of the mountain just to see the Kongming lanterns, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence.
But this was just her guess. She had already seen it, and she didn't want to dwell on the reasons behind it.
Going down the mountain was much easier than going up. After reaching the foot of the mountain, they went straight back to the inn.
In the inn, Gu Han was sitting and eating with several men in black. After he noticed Xiao Shengheng and Su Lijin, he spoke.
"Our mission this time is to kill the wealthy businessman. Once we are fully prepared, we will go to the inn where they are staying. The master has specifically instructed us to complete the mission. After we complete the mission, the master will reward us handsomely."
Several men in black nodded.
"Then we would like to thank Brother Gu in advance."
"Of course I should."
Gu Han deliberately said the wrong inn where Xiao Shengheng and Su Lijin were staying in order to make them notice him.
Su Lijin, who was walking behind, happened to hear these words. She reached out and tugged at Xiao Shengheng's sleeve.
Xiao Shengheng, who was walking in front, paused and turned to look at her: "What's the matter?"
Su Lijin lowered her voice and said, "You should go back first. I have something else to do."
"What's the matter?" Xiao Shengheng felt puzzled after hearing Su Lijin's words.
"You don't need to ask about this." Su Lijin just happened to notice that Gu Han and the others picked up the swords they carried with them and prepared to leave.
She frowned slightly, and a cold look appeared in her eyes.
Xiao Shengheng didn't say anything else, and Su Lijin turned around and left.
Looking at Su Lijin's back, Xiao Shengheng seemed to be lost in thought.
In this way, Su Lijin followed those people not far away.
In order to avoid being discovered by those people, Su Lijin deliberately kept a distance from them.
It was not until they followed them to the foot of the mountain that Gu Han noticed Su Lijin who had been following them.
"Why are you following us?" Gu Han asked in a cold voice.
Su Lijin was discovered, but she did not panic. Instead, she said, "Of course I want your life."
Hearing this, Gu Han curled his lips and smiled slightly, feeling that Su Lijin's tone was quite arrogant. He waved his hand, and the men in black who followed him rushed directly towards Su Lijin.
But Su Lijin didn't take them seriously. In just a short while, she had taken care of all the men in black.
After dealing with them, Su Lijin clapped her hands, looking relieved. It seemed that it didn't take her much effort to deal with those people.
Seeing this, Gu Han felt that he had underestimated Su Lijin's martial arts.
He originally thought that Su Lijin only had some mediocre kung fu skills, until he saw the man in black being defeated just now, he realized that she was so skilled.
The two men started fighting, and Gu Han was at a disadvantage from the beginning, but fortunately Su Lijin did not want to kill him.
Seeing that he was no match for his opponent, Gu Han asked, "Who are you?"
"I'm Xiao Shengheng's man." Su Lijin didn't hide it and directly revealed her identity to him.
After hearing Su Lijin say that she was Xiao Shengheng's person, Gu Han did not relax his vigilance, but continued to fight with Su Lijin with all his strength, because he did not quite believe what Su Lijin said.
But he was no match for Su Lijin at all. Seeing that he was about to be hit by the sword, he was about to dodge, but when he saw Xiao Shengheng appear, Gu Han paused and stopped.
After noticing his abnormality, Su Lijin quickly stopped what she was doing and looked behind her following Gu Han's gaze.
I found out that it was Xiao Shengheng who came.
"You follow me?" When she said that, her tone was full of dissatisfaction with Xiao Shengheng.
She had asked him not to follow her for his safety.
We don’t even know the other party’s background yet, what if something really happens?
In the end, the man still followed me paranoidly.
Xiao Shengheng heard Su Lijin's dissatisfaction and spoke quickly.
"You can treat me as air, or as if I don't exist at all."
Su Lijin was worried that something might happen to him, and he was also worried about her. After thinking about it, he decided to follow her secretly, but after following her, he found that his worries were unnecessary.
However, Xiao Shengxing didn't expect that the people she was going to meet were Gu Han and others.
I really didn't expect that Su Lijin's martial arts skills would be so good.
I think when he fought with me in Taiji Hall, he still held back some strength for fear of hurting me.
Su Lijin ignored Xiao Shengheng and, as he said, treated him as air.
She looked at Gu Han: "I won't fight with you, let's go over there, I have something to tell you."
She didn't want to really fight with Gu Han. The reason she killed those men in black was because they were of no use to her, but Gu Han was different.
As she spoke, Su Lijin pulled Gu Han aside.
Su Lijin knew that Gu Han was on Xiao Zhaolin's side, but she wanted to win him over to Xiao Shengheng's side. After all, Gu Han was a rare talent.
"Do you have anything to say to me?" Gu Han asked.
"Why don't you come with us? Don't worry, if you follow us, I will never let you suffer any loss." As she said this, Su Lijin patted his shoulder, with a hint of deception.
Gu Han finally understood that Su Lijin was trying to win him over. He had never received such a direct invitation before, but he was a little curious about why this woman did this.
"With you? I can't do anything. You think too highly of me. Since you've hurt my feelings, let me go."
Gu Han spoke out.
Su Lijin disagreed: "You said you don't know anything?"
Gu Han nodded.
Su Lijin curled her lips and said, "Didn't you make the human skin mask on Xiao Shengxing's face?"
She hinted at his identity.
How many people in the world can make such realistic human skin masks? That's why Su Lijin wanted to keep him.
