The hooded swords at Shen Wan Lin He then laughed, ”I have no intention of being your enemy Trust me, if I treated you as an enemy, you wouldn’t be alive at this point”
”Even if I don’t kill you, capturing you wouldn’t be difficult, don’t you agree?” The hooded figure’s face was concealed and thus they couldn’t see how he looked However, the truth of his words pierced through their hearts like a knife
Hearing his words gave the young lady’s heart a chill Before long, she spoke out, ”Young Master doesn’t need to scare us any longer I believe you”
Shen Wan Lin’s words were soft and gentle, and yet her face was still pale fro maid wished to speak further but she stopped when Shen Wan Lin extended a hand She then held her tongue and spoke noher words
Shen Wan Lin bowed deeply, ”Please show the way, Young Master”
Miss Shen’s voice ar to her feel comfortable and at ease The hooded swordsaze upon her face occasionally Shen Wan Lin was indeed very pretty Returning the courteous gesture, the hooded swordsman bowed, ”Miss, this way”
As he spoke, he kicked the body at his feet into the water The corpse then rolled off the bridge and down into the river After several moments, the water around the corpse turned red with blood
”Ah!” The serving ed to follow theht She was afraid that the swordsman would turn on them as well She forced herself to stay composed, as she held the u upon theood as well She gritted her teeth as she followed him, her eyes bore a look of expectation, yetahead Before long, a lone pavilion came into view It was surrounded by manytrees The trees were so dense that it was hard to gaze into the pavilion
The hooded swordsman stood in the middle of the pavilion as Shen Wan Lin followed closely behind When she entered the pavilion she spoke softly, ”I wonder why Young Master led us here?”
”Firstly, dis maid I have issues to discuss with you, alone” The swordsman said
”No, I won’t leave I have to protectto her, how should I react?” The serving e and stood in front of her ether with me, and has never leftto speak, please do speak up” Shen Wan Lin furrowed her brows, as if she was slightly disappointed, and yet still spoke gently
”There’s no telling the intentions within each person’s heart I won’t make such athis, Shen Wan Lin paused for so, ”Xiao Lan, wait for e with this Young Master”
”Miss!” The servingon the seams of her Miss’ robes
”Xiao Lan, I will be fine Don’t worry, he won’t hurtmaid’s ears She then turned around to leave, opened her u maid had left, the hooded swordsman then casually said, ”The person whom I just killed was an assassin from the Jade Valve Clan”
As he spoke, he re lady then looked at the swordsman was extremely handsome, with delicate features He carried a warm and friendly demeanor, and yet looked extre within hi at hination flashed in her eyes After hearing the swordsman’s demands to dismiss Xiao Lan, she knew that the person behind the hood was not her elder brother Her elder brother knew of their close and intimate relationshi+p and wouldn’t send her away
However, she still clung on to the slim chance that it could be him When the hood was finally lifted, her eyes thus showed one of disappointment After some time, she finally spoke out, ”Are you my uncle’s er techniques”
Although the swordsman had used a sword, the stroke that he had used, that precision and flawlessness in execution, that beautifully cruel wound that had appeared, was known to nobody except her brother and uncle Could it be that her uncle handed this skill to outsiders?
When he heard these words, Pei Zi Yun laughed out, ”No, I aood, but you have a very sharp eye Although I wielded a sword to execute a dagger technique that belonged to your family, I did not learn it from your brother or uncle It’s just that I observed the wounds made by this technique, and learnt some strokes from it”
”That’s impossible How can you look at the wounds made by the techniques and learn the techniques itself? How could you have er technique special only toman, her face in utter disbelief How could an outsiderat it?
Pei Zi Yun laughed, ”Haven’t you heard, that regardless of which entrance a person takes to ascend the mountain, the conclusion would still be the same In other words, a loser would perform a hundred thousand different varieties of a technique and still ale stroke to perfect a technique”
”Dagger techniques, sword techniques, staff techniques, spear techniques are all variations ofskills However, the principle reic, then you will see that with every technique, there are at least six or seven different ways of executing it Each different ield a subtly different result Hence, by exa the wounds, I was able to deduce how the movements were like, and thus able to unravel the mystery”
He had only spoken half of as on histo this topic, when he realized that he was speaking to a lady, and was thus an inappropriate topic of discussion He then kept his smile, and turned serious, ”It’s just that I imitated the strokes based on my observation of the wounds, and isn’t an accurate portrayal of the actual technique Hence when I saw an enemy, I just used it… I looked for you for another reason”
Hearing Pei Zi Yun’s words, Shen Wan Lin seemed like she still could not believe hi the subject She then asked, ”So what have you got to say?”
”Do you know of the ba and Zhang houses?” Pei Zi Yun asked
”What?” When the lady heard this, her facial expression turned, her face was one of suspicion
”I’ve looked up on this bamboo hat assassin, and found out that he hadhouses Thus I decided to look at the finer details I then discovered that although it seemed like he constantly opposed these two houses, he rarely killed anyone fro involved you, he would do his utmost to protect you”
”This afternoon, Liang household’s Liang Zi Han has been murdered, and this is related to you He wished to kidnap you in the hopes of creating proble households!”
