So I should feel honored?
Although assassins are usually devoid of personal feelings and emotions, they couldn't help but want to complain after hearing what Helian Si said.
"Cough, cough cough"
The assassin coughed, spitting out several mouthfuls of blood. Helian Si took a step back. Ugh, this was so frightening all of a sudden.
The assassin collapsed to the ground, powerless. Looking at Helian Si and Di Ying, he spoke weakly and unsteadily.
"Don't even think about it, I would never betray my master."
"You're courting death!" Di Ying's face, hidden behind a black cloth, suddenly darkened. He drew his long sword and looked at the man in black on the ground as if he were a dead man.
"Hey, hey, big brother, take it back, take it back, don't get excited, don't get excited."
Helian Si reached out and grabbed Di Ying's arm, pressing Di Ying's drawn sword back into place. Under Di Ying's puzzled gaze, he spoke earnestly...
"Don't keep talking about death. Are we that kind of people? We should use love to influence people and win them over with virtue, understand?"
Emperor Shadow: "..."
Princess, to be honest, I don't really understand.
Nan Rongqing, along with his guards and a group of students, all had a twitch at the corner of their mouths.
They were all a little embarrassed to watch, but now that the assassin had been arrested, their gossipy nature kicked in, and everyone stared wide-eyed as they continued watching.
Helian Si, holding his student robes, knelt down again in front of the assassin, a gentle and kind smile on his face, his words full of friendliness.
"Come on, brother, tell me, who sent you?"
The assassin turned his face away, completely ignoring Helian Si. Di Ying's sinister eyes narrowed dangerously, and he forcefully turned the assassin's face towards him with the hilt of his sword.
This forced the assassin to look directly at Helian Si, who then smiled gently and began to argue.
"Oh dear brother, look at you! Why are you doing this to yourself? I see you're so young, you must be a widow or widower, right?"
"You're in the prime of your life, why ruin it with a little stubbornness? Don't you think so? As long as you say it, I, the princess, will be your matchmaker and guarantee you'll be free from loneliness and have a wife, children, and a warm bed in the future."
He meant it by winning people over with virtue. Helian Si began to use his silver tongue to patiently persuade the assassin.
The onlookers' mouths twitched uncontrollably. What the hell is this stubborn little thing? What the hell is this talk of a wife, kids, and a warm bed? What kind of nonsense is this princess spouting?
"Princess, I..."
Suddenly, an aged, hesitant voice sounded behind Helian Si.
Helian Si turned around and saw the old doctor who had been dragged over by the guards to treat the handsome scholar's injuries. Therefore, he greeted him kindly.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the Master's injury?"
The old doctor had also overheard what Helian Si had just said to the assassin. Suppressing his inner grumbling, he wiped the sweat from his brow and said...
"Your Highness, Young Master Jinghua's external injuries are not serious. However, upon closer inspection, the hidden weapon was coated with poison. My abilities are limited, and I truly cannot discern the type of poison on it."
"We can only temporarily suppress the spread of the poison with medicine. Please, Princess, send someone back to the palace to summon the imperial physicians to detoxify Young Master Jinghua."
Helian Si listened with a smile, and afterward, he gave the old doctor another friendly smile, his voice gentle.
"poisonous?"
"Yes, I am incompetent, please forgive me, Princess."
For some reason, even though the princess was smiling, and smiling so kindly, he felt incredibly terrified inside.
Helian Si chuckled lightly, turned her head, glanced at the assassin on the ground, and her red lips curled up.
"very good."
