Chapter 404 (2/2)
To keep himself focused when fighting, Ning Que didn't think about anything . But now that the fight was over, his mind was full of the bad things that might have happened to Chao Xiaoshu and it made his hand shake slightly .
After the fierce fight in the Spring Breeze Pavilion, lots of people thought Ning Que and Chao Xiaoshu were faithful friends and were very close to each other . But Ning Que knew clearly it was not the case .
The relations.h.i.+p between him and Chao Xiaoshu was more like that of a landlord and a tenant, a leader of gangsters and a killer he employed or like what he had told Liu Yiqing, food buddies . For most of the time, they talked about food and money, rather than sharing each other's feelings and secrets . Therefore, he wasn't really familiar with Chao Xiaoshu, he had just met him a few times and had not even been to his home .
There were always some people who showed up from nowhere, entered your life and talked casually with you . But after all this, the two were already bosom friends .
Chao Xiaoshu walked into the Old Brush Pen Shop on a rainy day .

Chao Xiaoshu walked into the Old Brush Pen Shop on a rainy day .
And Ning Que met Zhuo Er at a small village in the Yan territory .
They seemed to be not close at all . They might not have gotten in touch for many years, or randomly written to each other . And when meeting on a boat, they would just drink with each other, chat a bit and depart .
But they were actually very close . Even if they hadn't met for many years, they still could understand each other perfectly well with just a smile and could fight together against their enemy .
And when one knew that the other was in danger, no matter what he was doing, he would not hesitate to help . Even if he was in the most important exam in his life or about to get married to a princess, he would give up all those things and ride a horse to where his friend was .
Ning Que looked at the hilt in silence .
He didn't know what situation Chao Xiaoshu was facing .
He found it really good that he didn't know much about his friend .
Because that meant that he didn't know whether Chao Xiaoshu also believed in the principle of 'I would only be alive if I still had my sword . ' And it meant he didn't have to confirm that Chao Xiaoshu was dead .
Ning Que raised his head and looked at Liu Yiqing, who was sitting under the tree as silent as a dead man . He tightened his grip on his podao and pointed it at him .
The crowd screamed, they didn't expect Ning Que to kill this person from the South Jin Kingdom .

In the crowd, Professor Huang He frowned and shook his head in concern, trying to warn Ning Que to be more careful .
