“If necessary, I will secretly provide you with some assistance,” Wang Han said, watching Gao Jianli leave with a heavy heart.
"Thank you." Upon hearing this, Gao Jianli paused for a moment before expressing his gratitude, feeling a surge of confidence. This mysterious man in black armor simply wouldn't act rashly; he wasn't truly going to stand idly by.
"Back at Feixue Pavilion, the story of Xue Nu and Gao Jianli has already begun, and that time traveler should appear soon." Wang Han muttered to himself, his figure disappearing from the branches of the willow tree.
When Xue Nu returned to Fei Xue Pavilion, she saw that Wang Han had ordered a table of food. Xue Nu was not surprised that Wang Han had returned to Fei Xue Pavilion. This person was too mysterious and his lightness skill was exceptionally high.
"Do you mind if I sit here?" Xue Nu thought for a moment, then came to Wang Han and sat down opposite him before asking him.
“Of course I don’t mind. I’m not someone who’s afraid of trouble; on the contrary, trouble is afraid of me,” Wang Han said. The Snow Maiden’s attempt to drag him into the mess was seen through at a glance.
"It seems you are quite confident in yourself, sir." Hearing this, Xue Nu felt slightly embarrassed, realizing that the mysterious man before her had seen through her actions and knew about her affairs. However, she felt even more confident. She knew that the mysterious man before her was an absolute top-tier expert, far stronger than herself. Now, Yan Chun Jun must have sent people to watch her. If she sat down before this mysterious man, acted familiar, and chatted amiably with him, someone would surely tell Yan Chun Jun, and given Yan Chun Jun's magnanimity, he would definitely send someone to provoke this man.
"Confidence is one of the virtues of a person," Wang Han said with a smile. "But you don't seem to have much confidence right now."
"It wasn't there before, but it is now," the Snow Woman said with a smile.
"And what about determination?" Wang Han asked.
“Yes, it does,” the Snow Woman said. “It has always been there.”
“It seems you had already made up your mind in the face of Yan Chunjun’s coercion,” Wang Han said.
Just then, Gao Jianli also entered Feixue Pavilion. He was taken aback to see Xue Nu and the mysterious man in black armor chatting happily. If he didn't know that Wang Han and Xue Nu had no connection, he would have suspected that the two knew each other before. However, he was not a narrow-minded person, and besides, he needed someone's help now.
"Who is that person? How dare he sit at the same table with Miss Yuki-onna and chat so happily?"
"Aren't you afraid that Lord Yanchun will cause him trouble?"
"Gao Jianli, come with me." Wang Han greeted Gao Jianli as he entered.
"Mysterious Brother, Miss Snow Maiden," Gao Jianli greeted the two people at their table.
Upon hearing Gao Jianli's address to Wang Han, Xue Nu paused for a moment, then chuckled and said, "Gao Jianli, I didn't expect even you wouldn't know his name."
"Haha, this mysterious brother has never told me his name or identity, so I have no choice but to address him this way," Gao Jianli said awkwardly. They had known each other for over a year, and had spent half a year exchanging musical ideas at Feixue Pavilion, yet he didn't even know the other's name; it was indeed somewhat embarrassing.
"This mysterious brother seems quite mysterious. I knew you before Gao Jianli came to Feixue Pavilion, but I didn't expect I didn't know your name," Xue Nu said with a smile, but she didn't ask Wang Han's name. If it were before, she would definitely have asked when Gao Jianli brought it up, but now she still needed his help, and since he was unwilling to say, she didn't ask.
“Miss Snow Maiden, don’t underestimate Brother Mysterious.” Gao Jianli said, “Although no one knows Brother Mysterious’s name, his reputation is very high. Just mentioning it is enough to make those powerful and wealthy people tremble with fear. Many of the people who died at Brother Mysterious’s hands were famous figures from the Seven Kingdoms.”
"Just a few thousand people," Wang Han said, glancing at Gao Jianli. This Gao Jianli was quite attentive to Xue Nu, revealing his identity in this way.
Upon hearing this, Xue Nu's pupils contracted slightly; she had already guessed Wang Han's identity. She glanced at Wang Han in surprise, then quickly looked around, regaining her composure. Gao Jianli's gaze had been fixed on their surroundings ever since Wang Han's identity was mentioned.
Xue Nu finally understood why even Gao Jianli didn't know the name of this mysterious person. For someone like him, the number one assassin in the world, wanted by the seven kingdoms, even a single name could reveal a lot of information and cause unnecessary trouble.
“Don’t worry, those people are deaf now, they can’t hear what we’re saying,” Wang Han said, seeing the two men’s wary expressions.
Upon hearing this, Gao Jianli noticed that Wang Han's armored fingers were rhythmically tapping the table. He recalled their first meeting, when Wang Han's flute playing had captivated everyone with its melodies. He couldn't help but smile wryly and say, "Brother Mysterious's control over music is truly superb; it's astonishing."
"It's just using rhythmic sounds to synchronize their heartbeats, making them unconsciously focus only on the sound of the table being tapped. It's the same principle as hypnosis," Wang Han said.
The Snow Maiden stared in astonishment at the mysterious man before her. She had heard of hypnosis before, and even knew a little bit of it, but she hadn't expected this mysterious man's hypnosis to be so advanced. Gao Jianli, on the other hand, wasn't as surprised; he had experienced far more powerful hypnosis before.
“I will make my move when the time is right, and at the very least, I won’t let either of you die,” Wang Han said with a smile. “Besides, Yan Chunjun is actually one of my targets. Even before I came to Feixue Pavilion, Yan Chunjun had been one of my targets. The reason I haven’t made a move against him is because I’m using him as bait. This fish will appear soon.”
"With Brother Mysterious's words, I'm relieved." Gao Jianli said with a smile upon hearing this, and Xue Nu also breathed a sigh of relief. Although Wang Han also had his own plans and might not be able to deal with Yan Chunjun so quickly, having the world's number one assassin as a help made him less worried.
"Have you two encountered any strange people recently?" Wang Han asked Gao Jianli and Xue Nu, hoping to obtain some information.
"Strange person? We haven't met any." Upon hearing this, the two looked at each other, then at Wang Han. Of all the people they had met, Wang Han was the strangest, but they wouldn't say that.
"No? Then have you encountered anyone else who uses a long sword like me? Or someone with strange clothes or hairstyle, or someone mysterious, or someone extremely powerful, or someone who seems very ordinary?" Wang Han continued to ask, suggesting that such people meet the criteria for a transmigrator.
The two shook their heads again. They had only ever seen Wang Han wield a long sword, and he was also the only one with strange attire. He always wore a suit of armor and a black robe. Wang Han was the most mysterious, with extremely powerful strength, but his aura gave off a very ordinary feeling.
"No?" Wang Han nodded. It seemed the two hadn't met yet, and his radar hadn't detected them either. Perhaps that person hadn't appeared yet. However, Wang Han knew that person would appear when Xue Nu and Gao Jianli killed Yan Chun Jun.
