Ning Fan didn't see any hesitation in Bai Qiming's eyes.
He took his knife and slashed it directly at his neck.
clang!
The knife was blocked by a sword.
Bai Qiming looked at Ning Fan with some surprise.
The reason why it was unexpected was that there was some distance between the two of them.
He didn't see when Ning Fan appeared in front of him and drew his sword to block him.
Moreover, for a moment, he clearly felt that his movements became sluggish, as if an invisible pressure was looming over him.
"That's all I asked. There's no need to be so direct."
Ning Fan raised his sword to deflect Bai Qiming's knife, then sat back down.
Bai Qiming looked at Ning Fan quietly.
Ning Fan's strength was indeed something he couldn't understand.
But he didn't worry too much.
Not prying into other people's secrets too much is a form of courtesy and self-cultivation.
"If you're not direct, it's meaningless just by talking."
Bai Qiming retracted the knife: "I just want to tell Commander Ning that my life can be exchanged."
Ning Fan stared at Bai Qiming for a long time.
He now seemed to understand why Ma Yuxiang felt that Bai Qiming was unable to control Mie Sheng.
There is no light in this person's eyes.
To put it nicely, it's calmness.
To put it bluntly, he seemed to have no hope.
"You don't care about life or death?"
Ning Fan asked.
This time, Bai Qiming did not respond to Ning Fan's words immediately.
What’s interesting is that when he drew his sword against himself just now, he didn’t hesitate at all.
But this question made him think for a long time.
"No one wants to die if they can live."
Bai Qiming looked up at Ning Fan and said, "Commander Ning, I have a question for you."
"Well, you ask."
"What exactly is your goal?"
Bai Qiming asked seriously.
Ning Fan answered without hesitation, "First, we'll all go down to the city together, and then we'll find an opportunity... to go up to the city."
"Going uptown..."
Bai Qiming chewed on this sentence carefully, and then asked again: "Did you decide on this goal yourself?"
"Of course."
Ning Fan smiled somewhat bitterly: "No, perhaps to put it more pretentiously, it can be said that it was driven by fate."
Although the words were hypocritical, Ning Fan was not being pretentious when he said them.
In fact, it was fate that brought him to where he is today.
Perhaps, if he had been "selected by Shangcheng" at the beginning, there would be no Ning Fan today.
He just wanted to cure his mother's illness, but he didn't expect to be involved in so many secrets.
Only by going to the upper city can he find his mother again.
Bai Qiming's question also made Ning Fan fall into thought.
To be in the position he is today is something he never even dared to imagine.
However, on this road I have walked...
Have you deviated from your original intention?
“It’s nice to be able to decide some things on my own.”
Bai Qiming's words interrupted Ning Fan's thoughts.
He raised his head and saw Bai Qiming also showing the same helpless smile.
"Commander Ning, from the moment a person is born, their entire path has been planned. No matter what they choose, they can't escape that framework. If it were you, would you have any hope for the future?"
Bai Qiming spread his hands and said, "I even feel that my sitting here is all part of her plan."
Ning Fan naturally knew who the "she" Bai Qiming was talking about was.
Xia Qing
More importantly, through the previous conversation with Ma Yuxiang, Ning Fan was basically certain that what Bai Qiming was saying now was the truth.
In Xia Qing's plan, it was indeed possible that Bai Qiming would sit in front of him like this.
"So, you want to use this method to reject her arrangement for you?"
Ning Fan asked.
Bai Qiming smiled and nodded: "She never expected that I would give up my life in this way, right?"
Ning Fan understood Bai Qiming's thoughts.
I have to say that what Bai Qiming said was a bit childish.
He didn't want to be arranged by Xia Qing, but he didn't know which of his actions were his own choice and which were arranged.
So, he wanted to use this method to resist Xia Qing.
I can even die.
But I just don't want to accept your arrangement.
For normal people, it is difficult to understand such people.
But for someone who has been confined by frames since childhood, it is really not surprising to have such an idea.
To put it more bluntly, Bai Qiming's feelings for Ma Yuxiang are not that deep.
He was willing to sacrifice his own life for Ma Yuxiang's, more because...
He wants Xia Qing to make a mistake!
Even though Xia Qing is dead, Bai Qiming wants her to know that you have the final say on my life, but you have no control over my death.
"But you are still alive now."
Ning Fan whispered, "I didn't give you the chance to trade your life for mine, so what are you going to do next?"
Bai Qiming was silent for a moment, then shook his head: "I don't know."
"I don't want to be manipulated by others, but I don't know what path to take in the future. Do you think I'm a little ridiculous?"
Ning Fan saw Bai Qiming's confusion.
Bai Qiming didn't know which way to go, but he had fallen into his own thinking trap.
He wanted to avoid the route arranged by Xia Qing, but after avoiding it, he felt a little at a loss.
