94 I Am an Assassin, Not a Dog! (2/2)

Ning Biluo sneered, ”Of course. So I am. So I always have been. I will keep it so until I die! I won't ever regret it!”

”Is that so? Then three years ago, why did you secretly lead all your men to the north and help Ye Nantian kill a lot of the generals of the Northern Wolves?” Xiu-Er spoke blandly, ”Don't you think you were a dog for Ye Nantian? Were you not serving the king of the Kingdom of Chen?”

”Nonsense!” Ning Biluo suddenly opened his eyes and furiously said, ”That's different! How could you bring it to the same topic?”

Xiu-Er spoke poignantly, ”What you did was helping others! Don't tell me Ye Nantian and the king had given you something as payment. If you said so, I won't be satisfied. You won't die today, or tomorrow, or the day after. You will be alive for a long time. You must know how it is to be begging for death. After that 'a long time', you will realize that death is a very precious and rare dream to you!”

”I said, you can't associate these two things together. They are essentially different!” Ning Biluo shouted.

”Oh? Tell me more!” Xiu-Er spoke indifferently.

”It had nothing to do with Ye Nantian. I didn't help him. In fact... I had an enemy in the generals of the Northern Wolves. So I had to kill them! My clan was slaughtered a long time before that, and it was that enemy who did it. You were wrong about me helping Ye Nantian. For me, Ye Nantian was helping me with my revenge.”

”Ye Nantian won the battle because I killed those guys, but I didn't care about it, and it had nothing to do with me. Ye Nantian alone could surely win that battle without me.”

Ning Biluo spoke indifferently, ”You said that I was a dog for Ye Nantian. Well, it was nonsense. We were just cooperating by coincidence!”

Xiu-Er said, ”Then what about the second question?”

Ning Biluo stared at her with disdainful eyes and spoke blandly, ”It turns out the wisdom of the Xiu of the Heavens is just a joke. You actually keep questioning me about serving others?! Don't you see... Even if I have fought in the battle, even if I have fought for the Kingdom of Chen, even if I didn't have an enemy in the other side, it could never prove that I am a dog for the king!”

”It is simply because I am one of the people of the Kingdom of Chen!”

Ning Biluo spoke blandly, ”It is about bloodline, about the country. It has nothing to do about personality or personal business. And it certainly has nothing to do about being a dog!”

”Even though the royal court has been offering a reward for my head, when my country is in danger, I will stand forward to fight for her! Because this is the responsibility of the people in the country!”

”I hate most of the men who works in the royal court. I hold no good feelings to the royal family. I don't give a shxt to the king. I am simply a man in the martial world. Even in the martial world, I am an assassin which is always detested by the so-called noble men. But I will fight for my country when she needs me to!”

Ning Biluo sneered, ”I don't want to join you, because firstly, I don't want to be your dog, secondly... you guys have no idea how to be loyal to your country. You only care about rising and falling... yet you don't care about who will rise and who will fall. I am different. I have my roots.”

”Who rises and who falls... it includes my country! I can't just sit and wait doing nothing!”

Ning Biluo smiled, ”So... you can recruit anyone you like, except me, the disreputable assassin!”

”Or let's just say you don't have the capability to recruit me, because you can never afford the conditions I want!” Ning Biluo laughed.

His words were solid in the heavy rain and the wild winds.

It became silent!

The world was covered by the rain and the wind.

The rain was getting heavier.

To see it from the top, the raindrops were like endless javelins falling from the sky to the earth!

The mountains were like the ocean. Water was running everywhere...

The deafening sound of flood had come over from the valley.

Ning Biluo was covered by dirt and gasping. He was in a difficult position. Yet the Xiu of the Heavens was still in a suit of white clean clothes, like a faery from the heavens.

However, Ye Xiao felt that Ning Biluo contained more of the aura of a human being than Xiu of the Heavens.

Xiu of the Heavens looked clean and saintly, yet she was full of the ruthlessness, ”looking at the world's suffering, I am still casual and elegant”!

Her white clothes seemed so disgusting in the dark.
