Chapter 14: Use It for My Own Goods
Xiao Tu took the fragrant tea beside her and stirred it with the lid. "This is not important."
The dancer narrowed her eyes at her and said, "You are so brave, young lady."
Knowing that she had a sharp weapon in her hand, he still dared to sit in front of her so openly.
Xiao Tu smiled and said, "Regarding this, I thought you already knew it when you stabbed me with your sword last night."
The dancer lowered her eyes solemnly, "So I'm very curious, why did you save me when you knew I was going to kill you?"
Xiao Tu curled her red lips and said, "Of course I want you to be used by me."
The dancer wasn't angry, but rather amused. "I wonder what it is about me that could have given Miss such a big illusion?"
Xiao Tu smiled charmingly, "I know that you assassins have all undergone rigorous training and are very tough, so I don't intend to torture you."
"Oh, no coercion? No torture? Miss, are you planning to convince me with reason and not with words?"
This was full of sarcasm, but Xiaotu nodded in agreement, "Not bad!"
Dancer: “…”
Seeing that the woman didn't seem to be joking, she couldn't help but laugh out loud, "You actually think you can convince me with just your mouth, hahahaha..."
For a moment she didn't know whether to say that this young lady was too smart or extremely stupid.
Xiao Tu remained calm in the face of her loud laughter, and even took a sip of fragrant tea slowly, waiting for her to stop laughing!
Seeing this, the dancer gradually fell silent and just stared at her with her eyes.
Xiao Tu sipped her fragrant tea and spoke slowly, "In ancient times, Su Qin destroyed Qi with his mouth, Chen Zhen repelled a million-strong army with his eloquence, and Zhang Yi broke up the alliance of the six kingdoms with his eloquence. Do you dare to say that the mouth isn't powerful?"
The dancer's expression changed at this moment, her smile froze on her face, and she had nothing to refute.
Xiao Tu slowly leaned over, lifted her chin with her long fingers, and curved her beautiful red lips. "So, my little beauty, words are very important. They can cost lives without bloodshed~"
The dancer turned her face away and clenched her fists. "Anyway, no matter what you want to say, I won't use it for your benefit."
"Don't worry, just listen first."
If possible, the dancer would like to turn around and leave at this moment.
Because ever since she saw this woman smiling last night while sitting in the arms of that man who she thought was extremely terrifying, she had been afraid of this man from the bottom of her heart!
If possible, she actually didn't want to listen to what the other person said.
But the woman stopped all her thoughts with just the first sentence.
"Your last name is Li and your given name is Mingshan, which means bright eyes and a radiant gaze. Your parents were so happy to see your eyes so beautiful when you first saw the world that they gave you the name."
Hearing these past events, the dancer's thoughts were instantly confused, but she didn't say anything.
Xiao Tu was still speaking slowly, as if she was telling about her past life.
"You've been different since you were born. You're not as quiet and gentle as other girls. You like practicing martial arts and wandering the world. Your parents love you very much, so they indulge you a lot.
You have been tough since you were young and liked to fight with others. When you were six years old, you broke the head of a kid next door who was older than you, and he left a finger-long scar behind your ear.
At the age of eight, you enrolled in the Qingyao School of Martial Arts to learn martial arts. The following year, you and your fellow disciples competed in a duel and suffered a severe fracture in your right hand. From then on, you began to practice swordplay with your left hand.
When you first entered the underworld at the age of thirteen, you once chased a rapist across ten counties and three continents and finally captured him and handed him over to the government. You earned a reward of 500 taels of silver, but you gave all the money to poor families.
When you were fifteen, you offended the powerful people in Qingzhou because of a murder case. You were hunted for more than ten days and almost died there. In the end, you were saved by your senior sister from the same sect.
At the age of sixteen, you and your senior sister acted as heroes and helped a family whose daughter was kidnapped. However, you were eventually betrayed by this family, and your senior sister died to protect you.
In the same year, you killed all the members of this family and the family that kidnapped the person.
At the age of nineteen, you fell in love with your second senior brother from the same school, but you eventually turned against each other because of the master's inheritance.
At the age of twenty, you finally gave up the inheritance, left the sect and returned home.
But in this year, all your parents and relatives died tragically.
You're desperate to find the murderer, even going to the doors of your former enemies one by one, but in the end you still have no clue.
Just when you are in despair, your second uncle Li Zongyao, who had disappeared for many years, comes back. He tells you that his family was silenced by the Dongchang people because they were implicated in an old court case.
Afterwards, he took you to join a killer organization called Tianxinglou. You went through three years of agonizing training. Last night, you finally lurked at the place where your enemies were going to assassinate them, but failed!"
Li Mingshan was no longer the same as before. She was trembling all over and gritted her teeth. "How did you know all this?"
Even if the entire East Factory was mobilized last night and sent people to investigate her background, it would never be possible to do it in such detail.
Just like the scar behind her ear, because the murderer set a fire when her whole family was killed, the surrounding neighbors were not spared.
The same goes for the death of my senior sister. She has killed all those who were involved and knew about it.
And there was her second uncle Li Zongyao, a man who had been in hiding for more than ten years, she dared to swear that when he came to find her, no one noticed.
Xiao Tu didn't lie to her, "My eyes can see through the past and see through the life of a dying person."
"Can you see the entire life of a dying person? How could such an incredible thing be possible in this world?"
Xiao Tu's expression changed slightly. "As you can see, there wasn't one before, but there will be one in the future."
Li Mingshan stared at her intently. She didn't believe it and was imagining countless possibilities in her mind.
The woman with the eyes didn't explain, but just smiled at her lightly, "Do you want to know who killed your whole family?"
Li Mingshan's eyes gradually widened. "You, what did you say?"
"I say, do you want to know who killed your whole family?"
"It's not the executioners of the East Factory..."
"No~"
"No, it's impossible, it's impossible. I checked it, and my second uncle also said..."
"Yeah, so why did he say that to you?"
"You mean, my second uncle lied to me about this matter? That's impossible. This is absolutely impossible..." Li Mingshan shook his head frantically.
Xiao Tu interrupted her, "Actually, you've had doubts in your heart, haven't you?"
Li Mingshan's blood surged violently, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. Finally, he asked, "What evidence do you have?"
"Do you remember when you were a kid and loved playing hide-and-seek with your dad?"
"You even know this?"
"Let's go back and look for it."
Li Mingshan's eyes were so red that they seemed to bleed. She was in a state of confusion. On the one hand, she felt that what the woman said just now about being able to see people passing by was a fantasy, but on the other hand, the past that had been revealed made her unable to refute it.
She suddenly stood up and said through clenched teeth: "If what you said is true, then my life, Li Mingshan, is yours. If it is false, I would rather die than let you have an easy life." After that, she left without looking back.
