”The look in your eyes is different”

”In ay?”

Xiao En looked at him, a hint of indifference in his voice ”Now I understand In those snoastelands, the fairy looked out at that vast stretch of white, and her gaze was still soft, compassionate I've never kno to describe it Now it see And I can understand the eaze, and what it showed”

”What did it show?” Fan Xian's heart skipped a beat

”A burning love for life itself” Xiao En sht smile in your eyes, it's not the same your mother was filled with love Underneath you're ehed ”I won't deny that”

”I've killed a lot of people in ” Xiao En would say no ht as it filtered through the thin mist ”If I am to die in this cave, as you say, it will make a fine tomb”

Fan Xian crouched down beside him His left hand rested on the old man's shoulder, and he found that the flesh was already soft

The daylight co over the precipice was still di that covered the ravine, there was a feeling of holiness to it The light rays shone on Xiao En's wizened face His hands were stained with the blood of countless men, and the old spymaster had spent the last part of his life in htit all behind

”There aren't any date trees in Danzhou, are there?”

These were Xiao En's last words

Fan Xian withdrew the last needle from underneath the old man's ear, then checked that he had passed He turned his head and looked at Xiao En's body ”Though there are no date trees in Danzhou Maybe there's a better world waiting for you after your death”

Xiao En's eyes had already softly closed His bloodshot pupils would never look out on this strange world again

Fan Xian exhaled, and laid Xiao En's body out flat deep in the far end of the cave As for whether the haho encircled the ht about it, so he appeared a little indifferent

He walked out of thehis hands out into the air over the precipice outside The white ers, but all he could grasp at was air

The Brocade Guard were probably still searching for traces of the two of the away from the area The cliff face of the Yan Mountains was as sined that anyone could jue and land safely, and they certainly never thought that soe to scale the slick surface

Fan Xian's body clung tightly to the cliff face like a poster on a wall The thick dawn fog around hiure Even if soe, they would have no way of seeing the person as scaling it like a gecko

The grasses tree Clad in his night-walking clothes, a ghost-like figure cli his face, Fan Xian turned around and looked All that was there was the ravine, co had happened A h the thick fog, he looked toward thethere

But it see hiaze on hihtly and turned around He didn't think - there wasn't ti like an arrow clad in black, running toward the capital

And outside the diplosword His eyes were as ferocious as a tiger's as he glared at the people in front of the building The young ht All the visits from the officials of Qi had been turned away but today, early in the , men from the Brocade Guard had co Emperor wished to speak with Fan Xian at the palace

There were few people who knew that Fan Xian was not inside the diplo, Provost of the Brocade Guard, hoped that Fan Xian was not in the building, but after a whole night's search, they still had not found his body, so suspicions had been raised for Northern Qi, and it was urgent that they confirmed Fan Xian's whereabouts

They had not expected the southerners to be so rude and unreasonable,the excuse of Fan Xian's drunkenness to prevent Northern Qi officials fro Tempers were about to flare, and at thatsound from the street

It was not the sound of street-sweepers, but the sound of footsteps The people of Northern Qi were overjoyed
