They had been inseparable for ten years.
Nuzi was half-lying, half-sitting on the ground, looking rather dejected and depressed, and completely oblivious to Han Qianling's presence. It wasn't until Han Qianling was invited out by Luo Jiujiang that his gaze shifted to him.
Then his expression suddenly became excited as if his blood had been injected into a chicken, as if his fighting spirit had been ignited again.
"Han Qianling, control your humans!" he shouted angrily, and then fiercely threatened Luo Jiujiang: "Human raccoon spirit! Male!"
Luo Jiujiang: “…”
Luo Jiujiang used his superior comprehension to react and realized that Nu Zi was probably planning to call him a vixen.
The male kind.
...Thinking about everything that happened since he started dealing with Nu Zi, Luo Jiujiang couldn't help but admire him: He didn't know what kind of ingenious brain the other party had that could create surprises for people all the time.
Ni Kui, however, had no idea of the turmoil in Luo Jiujiang's heart. He only knew that after he yelled, the black-clad human boy suddenly drew his sword!
Do you think I was brought up in fear? Ni Kui thought with a sneer. As a son of anger, he possessed the rough nature inherited from his ancestors. His blood was still boiling from the battle, so even if his head was chopped off right now, he wouldn't feel any pain.
He might know fear, but few could truly scare him. Nuzi's fear of the Xuanwu Deputy Envoy had been deliberately cultivated in him since childhood in a special environment. To expect him to bow before Luo Jiujiang now was wishful thinking.
Not to mention that Luo Jiujiang drew his sword against him, even if the other party was holding two axes, he would not blink.
Although Luo Jiujiang drew his sword and raised his arm in a smooth motion, Ni Kui's eyelids did not even blink. It was not until Luo Jiujiang's cold blade was close to his chest that a look of surprise appeared on Nuzi's face.
What surprised him was not Luo Jiujiang's frosty blade, but another sword that cut through his lapel silently, so silently that he didn't even know when it happened.
The hand holding the sword was slender and steady, with distinct joints, fair and generous. Those hands belonged to the Lord of Shenxue Palace, the "culprit" he had challenged today.
But contrary to what he imagined, the person who stopped the sword was Luo Jiujiang.
Nuzi's expression was completely confused. Just by looking at his pale face, Luo Jiujiang could guess what kind of confusion and struggle he was going through in his mind: "You, you want to poke me again..."
Huh? A criminal record? This wouldn't be the first time. Luo Jiujiang looked back at Han Qianling in surprise.
Han Qianling put away his sword with a smile, as if the person whose sword tip had just been blocked by Luo Jiujiang with the back of his knife was not him.
"Qian Ling will stab you, of course." Luo Jiujiang also withdrew his knife: "You have been provoking me since early morning and even used Dao Yuan on me. If he doesn't stab you, who will he stab?"
"..." Nuzi asked in a confused tone, "But how did you find out?"
Han Qianling's sword strike could truly be described as silent and stealthy. Not only was its shape invisible, it didn't even reveal the slightest murderous intent to cause harm or bleed.
However, Luo Jiujiang intercepted his sword just at the right moment. And when Ni Kui recalled it now, the moment Luo Jiujiang drew his sword was actually a fraction faster than Han Qianling's.
Perhaps it was the tacit understanding of their swordsmanship from years of fighting together that made the speed of each strike of their swords and blades so precise. This slight difference in speed would not be noticeable on ordinary days, but for Ni Kui, it meant the difference between a mere cut in his clothes and a new hole in his alveoli.
Luo Jiujiang shrugged, his tone almost as a matter of course: "You are about to hurt me, of course Qianling will attack you - isn't it obvious? The same is true in reverse."
Nuzi: “…” No, he didn’t quite understand the obvious.
Luo Jiujiang's fingers tapped twice on the handle of the Chengxue knife like jumping, and suddenly he smiled at Ni Kui.
Poor Ni Kui was simple-minded, silly and naive, his thinking was linear, and he could only look at Luo Jiujiang's smiling face blankly and ignorantly, not knowing what a "smile that foreshadowed a mischief" meant.
"Qianling," Luo Jiujiang pulled back to grab Han Qianling's hand, but his eyes didn't turn away. It was obvious that his words were directed at Nuzi on the ground: "Since you feel pity for Nuzi in your heart, why did you stab him?"
Bang! Crash! Snap!
Like a thunderbolt that split the sky in broad daylight, Ni Kui's psychological defenses were completely shattered by the word "pity".
This word is not only inappropriate when paired with Ni Kui, a burly man with the strength to lift a tripod, who just swung two sledgehammers bigger than a leopard's head and whose body is as strong as an iron tower, it is simply enough to make people feel sick.
Nuzi: "..."
At this moment, not only Nu Zi, but even Dong Shuangyu and Yue Qinghui, who finally emerged from their hiding places not far away, froze in their tracks.
Han Qianling: "Hmm..."
Perhaps Yue Qinghui, having spent so much time with Luo Jiujiang, had some experience with this situation. He quickly explained to Dong Shuangyu, "Oh my God, look at this! You absolutely must! This scene is so familiar... If these two start to act in unison like this, someone is bound to be in trouble..."
"Jiujiang, you're not right," Han Qianling said slowly, his tone filled with measured tenderness, "I don't pity him. I... love him."
He stared at Nuzi as if he was looking at a delicate flower with a strong back and strong waist.
“…”
Nuzi had just caught his breath because of the first half of the sentence, but was choked by the even more terrifying words in the second half.
The eight-foot tall man was shaking like a sieve. He looked in the direction of Han Qianling in horror, his eyes rolled back, and it looked like he was about to faint.
