Chapter 131 Chapter 131 "My dear, how do you want him to die...
His gesture made her laugh, "Luo Jing? Why didn't you follow me to Wuliang Mountain?"
Wu Dao said nothing and just smiled apologetically.
"I can only come here when this man isn't with you in Luojing. You'll be going back to Luojing sooner or later anyway, so I might as well wait for you there." He smiled. "Just don't tell the Education Department."
"Whether I tell the Education Department or not..." she said with a hint of a smile, "It depends on your performance."
"Look at you, what you're saying... is so strange." Wu Dao glanced up and down the window again, confirmed that everything was fine, and walked closer to flatter him. "You've been with this man for so many days. Whether you've betrayed him or not is known only to heaven and earth, you and he. But inside, just believe what I say. Just tell me, why bother yourself with so much trouble?"
"Whether I've betrayed you or not," she said, "Send a few more people from the sect to follow him for a while, and they'll find out. Besides, if he knows the truth, there's no reason not to seek revenge. If he hasn't come to seek revenge, then he hasn't betrayed you." She pointed her index finger at him, "If you want me to talk to the Religious Affairs Bureau, what can you offer me in exchange?"
Wu Dao chuckled: "You say, you say."
"Go discuss this with the sect," she said, resting her hand on her cheek. "Tell them that since Gu Zhi is also in Luojing, I'll kill him to fulfill my third mission. Ask the Judicial Records Department if they agree."
"Okay, okay." He rubbed his hands and turned to walk towards the window. It was dusk at this time. The thousands of mountains outside the Four Symbols Tower were all in golden light. His back was sandwiched between a few orange-yellow lights as he took two steps.
Suddenly he stopped again.
He turned back.
Against the light, she could only see him smiling, his two rows of sharp, thin teeth, bloodthirsty and cunning:
"Right now, that man's martial arts skills have greatly improved. If you want to kill him, you won't be able to follow him without guidance."
"You want to kill him, what do you mean? Do you think we're tired of following you and can't get rid of you?"
She pinched the melon seed shell so hard that it stuck into her finger.
"You idiot. You've been speculating all day! You still don't know whose fault it is and who is responsible!" She threw a handful of melon seeds onto the plate. "Well, you'll see. When we get back to the inner chamber later..."
"Auntie, please keep your voice down!" He hurriedly put his index finger between his lips and hushed, "There are people all over the bottom of the tower!"
She threw the dried fruit plate hard to the ground. It shattered with a crackling sound and fragments flew everywhere. She raised her hand and pressed her index finger against his nose without blinking.
a long time.
Wu Dao held his breath as she stared at him, and finally slowly retracted his hideous grin.
"Okay. I'll ask the people at the Judicial Records Office later. As for whether they agree or not, that's their business."
He turned and started to walk out, his arms folded behind his head.
"However, Nan Qiong Shuang, I am willing to give you this opportunity because of your years of hard work, loyalty, and intelligence."
"You are a smart person. I believe you won't have any thoughts or do anything you shouldn't do."
"After all, you know yourself that in the past on Tianshan Mountain, much was true and much was false. Even if his feelings were genuine, how much was meant for Chu Jiaojiao, how much for Nan Qiongshuang, and how much for Qiwu Xiangmu?"
"The first time you saw him, you used poisonous wood as an aphrodisiac. Your earrings, hairbrush, even your nails were dyed with it. Without those things, it's hard to say what feelings he would have for you back then. If he knew..." He turned around and laughed, "that you had done something to him the first time you met, what he would think is even harder to say."
She lowered her eyes and picked up the scattered melon seed shells on the couch one by one, her face expressionless.
"Besides, you know your own temper, and the temper you pretend to him. If he knew that you act only to get what you want quickly, and that you are willing to hurt yourself, to drug yourself, to kill people for that purpose—"
He tilted his head and smiled, "He has that pretentious temper. I don't know what he's going to say."
She picked at her fingertips without any emotion, "Are you done? If you're done, get out."
"It's been a while since we last met. Let's catch up." Wu Dao chuckled. "You've been hiding so many things from him. He won't have forgotten them, will he? Who killed Song Mei? How did Asong die? Who let that kid surnamed Li steal the key? Who let him down the mountain? Who started the forest fire? The first time you met that kid surnamed Li—"
"Shut up!"
She roared so hard that her shoulders shook.
"You know it yourself, no matter how much outsiders envy Jiletang, after all, Jiletang is also a brothel within the Wangsheng Gate. You are the prostitutes among the assassins. Prostitutes only want money, not emotions. If you really talk about love, it would be too funny."
She suddenly raised her eyes, gasping for breath and shaking, the melon seed shell pierced into her fingertips, leaving only half of it.
He spread his hands and shook his head, looking regretful. "Besides, when a prostitute entertains a guest, she calls him a benefactor. You, you serve others with your bodies, and then kill them in the end. You are even more of a whore than those whores in the brothel. You are so smart, you wouldn't go around getting entangled with your former target in this capacity—"
There was a clanging sound.
"Shut up!" She screamed at the top of her lungs, causing porcelain plates to shatter and shatter everywhere. She leaned over, swung the book at him with all her might, and cursed, "You bastard, you're slandering me and courting death! I'm going to kill you today!"
From the bottom of the tower came the sounds of black-clad guards climbing the wall, and footsteps suddenly approached from afar, "Empress!"
"I'm telling you there's someone under the tower, I told you to keep your voice down!" Wu Dao rushed to the window and spat viciously. "I knew you were a traitor! You're trying to trick me! How dare you, little bastard!?"
Before he could finish his words, the man climbed out of the window and disappeared.
Nan Qiong Shuang was alone in the tower, her eyes were bright and cold, her eyes were red, and she was trembling from her fingertips to her ankles, and she was shaking so much that she could hardly sit up.
After a long time, she closed her eyes.
Two lines of tears flowed tremblingly from under her eyelashes.
*
"I heard someone climbed up the tower. No one else has the ability to do that. Was it that fly that came here?"
As soon as Gu Huaijin came in, he looked out the window. Seeing that there was indeed no one there, he walked around the broken porcelain pieces and melon seed shells on the ground and sat down on the edge of the couch.
Nan Qiong Shuang was sitting on the couch. Seeing him sit beside her, she lowered her eyes and tilted her head towards the couch, staring at the wavy patterns on the quilt.
"What's wrong?" He reached out and stroked her back again and again. "Did he hurt you?"
She said in a weak voice: "No."
"What did he force you to do?" He laughed. "Kill me?"
"No." She dodged his hand that was covering her back, "Let's clean up the floor first. There are melon seed shells all over the floor, and that damn thing even spat on the floor. It makes me sick."
Gu Huaijin walked to the window and gave an order to the tower, sneering, "What a bold fellow! He only dared to act wildly in front of you when I was away. What is he doing here?"
"He wants to go back to Luojing and wait for me. If you're here, he can't follow me. He said he wants to go back to Luojing directly."
Gu Huaijin sat down on the wooden chair by the window, holding the brush on the table in his hand, twirling it between his fingers, and smiled, "Is he still planning on you? What? I can't deal with him after returning to Luojing?"
She was upset and leaned her head against the headboard of the bed, closing her eyes to rest.
"Is this the Mist Blade? The one who provoked you and me and forced you to do it?"
She frowned, "Hmm."
"In that case, it's just in time for you to come. A few days ago, when I opened the mountain gate, I was worried that he wouldn't be able to follow me. But I didn't expect him to show some ability and come to me on his own."
With a snap, he broke the wolf-hair brush with one hand, smiling, and it fell to the ground with two clatters.
"Now that you're here, don't even think about leaving. He's an old friend, he's come all the way to die, how can I let him return in defeat?"
He patted the sawdust in his palm and raised his eyebrows nonchalantly:
"My dear, how do you want him to die?"
Nan Qiong Shuang just closed her eyes and said nothing.
"What's wrong, dear?" He came over again, sat beside the couch, put his arm around her back, pulled her in, and kissed her forehead. "Why aren't you talking so much?"
She still didn't reply, but leaned quietly in his arms, breathing lightly, her eyelashes drooping in thought.
Wu Dao's words are not scary.
The scary thing is that she also felt that he was right in some ways.
A prostitute among assassins. She serves men and then kills them.
If that were the case, she was even more ridiculous than the prostitutes among the assassins. Not only did she serve him on the bed, but the one she served wasn't her current target, but her former enemy. Even selling her body wouldn't have gotten her any good, clinging endlessly to the empty love they once had. How could she know what would remain between them without the Seven Black Fragrant Wood?
Had she been so stupid all this time?
She had no idea what she was doing.
The maid that Gu Huaijin had transferred climbed up the stone steps step by step. The footsteps came from the narrow and deep corridor inside the tower, echoing one after another. Finally, she reached the end of the stone steps and knocked on the door.
Gu Huaijin: "Come in." He put his arm around her shoulders and rubbed his forehead against hers, "Darling, what's wrong?"
She lowered her eyes and still said nothing.
He sighed, and rubbed his nose, which was covered by the black silk, against her nose for a few times, and then his lips moved down to find her lips.
Just after a moment of contact, she pushed it away.
He was stunned.
Two or three maids came in in a line with their heads bowed. No one dared to look at the scene on the couch. They all deliberately turned their heads away and performed their duties in silence.
She jerked her chin at the maids, winked at him, and brushed his hand away.
Gu Huaijin said nothing, sat up straight, and calmed down for a long time.
Finally, he slowly took her hand, clasped it in his palm and rubbed it.
"Hurry up, everyone. Once you're done, get out of here."
"What did he say to you?" He looked at her absent-minded expression carefully, kissed her on the cheek, and asked softly, "Did that bastard make you angry?"
She closed her eyes and sighed softly, frowning as she was concerned about the maid in the room.
"Where did you go today?"
"I went to the Jade Heart Grottoes to carve the Heart Sutra." With his other hand, he rubbed her lower back, his fingers circling in the hollow of her waist.
"It's difficult to find someone to inherit the Infinite Heart Sutra. The previous headmaster, Zhu, searched for a successor for nearly fifty years. Before he died, he made me promise to pass the Heart Sutra on. But I can't guarantee that I'll find such a person in my lifetime, so I decided to carve the Heart Sutra into a cave on the mountain. Whether there's a successor or not, the Heart Sutra can be passed down."
"You ran all over the mountain in one day. You were in such a hurry. Aren't you afraid of something happening?" She touched his white jade ring.
He smiled and said, "Are you feeling sorry for me?" Then he touched her forehead again.
She shrugged her shoulders and dodged.
He froze for a moment.
After a while, he tilted his head towards the maid who was cleaning and scolded her impatiently, "Hurry up, are you done cleaning?"
She said hurriedly, "Wipe that spit out for me. It's so disgusting."
Gu Huaijin laughed coldly, "How arrogant! If I don't pry open his mouth, knock out his teeth one by one, and use all his muscles to make you a zither, then I will be inconsiderate of Wuliang Mountain's hospitality."
Nan Qiong Shuang was stunned by the violent words.
They had been spending the whole day together, whispering sweet nothings to each other these days, and she had thought that he hadn't changed much since the past. But who knew that he would be like this towards others.
Indeed, it is not the same person as on Tianshan Mountain back then.
Seeing her stunned, Gu Huaijin felt a little uneasy. He turned around and saw that the maids had just finished cleaning and were quietly leaving. He hugged her and waited for everyone to go out. As soon as the footsteps sounded on the stone steps, he pressed her against the bed railing and leaned over to kiss her.
"My dear," he untied the silk ribbon, revealing a pair of butterfly-wing eyelashes. He held the back of her head with one hand, sucked on her lips, and held her lip beads. "Does it scare you when I say this?"
Scare me?
She closed her eyes and couldn't help smiling.
The more sinister he is, the more alike they are.
Although she also loved the gentleman's handsome appearance in the past, it was too far from her nature after all. If she didn't have a mission, she would not dare to approach him at all, for fear of being dwarfed by him.
"Don't be afraid of me, dear." He sucked her lips, and went deeper into her soft tongue. "I'm not being kind to you. I'm just being cruel because he bullied you."
She vaguely remembered that she felt she shouldn't continue to pester him. Half of her heart sank in pain, but the other half still indulged herself in meeting his kiss.
"Don't scold me. Last time, your two maids...you actually scolded me because of those two people from the Rebirth Gate." He pecked her lips as he spoke.
She laughed when she heard this, "Why are you so aggrieved?"
"I'll kill him, will you?" He kept kissing her from her lips down to her neck, "He's in the mountains, he can't run away."
Kill Wu Dao?
Her eyes, which had been made hazy and charming by the kiss, suddenly became clear for a moment, her eyelashes trembled, and she raised her eyes.
