641 Confession (2/2)

Silence fell upon the tent. Gu Shenwei and Lotus didn't expect the young swordsman who always regarded himself as 'emotionless' to say such words. Chu Nanping had shown great concern for Tie Linglong, but Gu Shenwei thought that it might take the boy at least ten years to break the barrier in the heart.

Han Fen was so excited that she almost burst into tears as if the person accepting the love confession was herself. ”Kill him,” muttered Han Fen. For her, such a beautiful scene was the perfect time to pursue the great Dao of the Waning Moon Hall.

Tie Linglong was caught unprepared. This wasn't what she had expected and was also quite out of the place given the current situation. During her time at the headquarters of the Waning Moon Hall, she had refused to accept the training of seducing a man with her body and instead developed an instinctive aversion to men.

The Dragon King and Chu Nanping had no gender in her mind, so the confession immediately transformed the teenager into a stranger in her eyes.

”You… Nonsense…” She took a step back, her voice trembling.

”I'm not talking nonsense. You're not fit to be a killer. Let's leave this world.”

It was exactly these words that struck the sore spot of Tie Linglong. She had heard something similar from the Dragon King on the first day he had taught her sabersmanship. And this was also not the first time that Chu Nanping had pointed it out, but this time it made her particularly angry.

”I am a killer.”

The dagger thrust into the teenager's chest. The real killers had retreated to a safe distance but Tie Linglong could not move. Her wrist was grasped tightly by Chu Nanping, who not only didn't pull out the dagger but helped her add more strength.

And he looked neither angry nor sad, only having a smile of relief as if to say, ”I was right, you don't like killing at all.”

Tie Linglong became angrier. Lotus's voice suddenly prevailed in her heart and the little girl's killing intent was aroused. But the reaction of her arm and her body was totally different. She couldn't exert any strength at all.

The moment Tie Linglong had produced a dagger, Gu Shenwei almost drew his sword but he stopped when Chu Nanping refused to dodge and held onto Tie Linglong's wrist.

The teenage duo was going through the most important choices in their lives. He didn't want to interfere, and neither did he want to ruin it. Even if the two really wanted to leave, he would never stop them.

He had used them but he didn't feel ashamed because he had never forced them to do anything even while practicing martial arts. He had simply passed onto them the skills and left them by themselves to figure it out.

Lotus made her move, as nimble as she always was.

Gu Shenwei drew his Dragon Head Sword at the same time.

After the long wait for this moment, what he struck out with was a simple sword move.

Gu Shenwei drew his sword but didn't use the Death Sutra sword technique because he felt that Lotus had no killing intent.

Lotus easily avoided the Dragon King's attack and pushed the two teenagers away, her voice unprecedently harsh. ”You're no longer a disciple of the Waning Moon Hall, and I forbid you two from following the Dragon King from now on. Get lost.”

Tie Linglong's face was almost transparently pale as if she had just woken up from a nightmare. Han Wuxian's image blurred and even Lotus's voice turned vague, her anger like rain falling on a land dying of drought, quickly sinking down and disappearing.

”I… I won't follow anyone anymore,” Tie Linglong said defiantly like a child with tears coursing down her cheeks. And she was a child, a child who thought she could wear a killer's mask.

Lotus suddenly turned around and left the tent. When she reached the door, she put on her mask in such a hurry that it seemed there was something unbearable here to the point she had to stay as far away as possible.

Chu Nanping covered the wound with one hand and held out the other as he said, ”Let's go.”

Tie Linglong began crying even harder. ”Who told you to say such nonsense? And in front of so many people?”

Chu Nanping looked around and thought that there were actually not that many people present, but he didn't argue because Tie Linglong had come over, covered his wound with a silk handkerchief, and then immediately retreated three steps.

The two looked at the Dragon King.

”Go.” That was the only word Gu Shenwei said to them.

To Tie Linglong, such a farewell was too simple. With tears on her cheeks, she revealed a smile. ”No one can force me to do anything. I'll go but I may come back in the future.”

She also had her own secret. She had only reached the second level of the Jueyin Finger Energy so far but sooner or later, she would surprise everyone.

As the two started walking outside, Tie Linglong suddenly turned around and said, ”Han Xuan is Han Wuxian's daughter. The Hall Leader really misses her.”

The Dragon King nodded to show that he understood.

Disappointed and confused, Han Fen didn't understand why the little girl had missed such a good opportunity and also didn't understand the Master Commander's abnormal behavior. Frowning, she thought for a long while before she could understand the reason a little.

Han Fen came over and grabbed the Dragon King's arm, her face full of excitement as if they were still 'friends' instead of rivals. Then she lowered her voice with great difficulty and said, ”The Master Commander is waiting for you to marry her. You become her man and she your woman, and then all problems will be solved.

Gu Shenwei froze. So this was what Han Fen had been trying to say to him.
