Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 114
[Chapter 114 A Ke]
Lin Xiu knew the woman in the room.
Her portrait was still in his arms.
She was the female assassin.
The woman looked at Lin Xiu with a meaningful look and said lightly: “You are quite courageous. You killed someone yourself and put the blame on me. Aren’t you afraid that I will kill you…”
When he saw the female assassin, Lin Xiu’s eyes showed shock.
But soon, his expression returned to calm. He walked to the table, took a cup, poured a cup of tea for her, and said: “You won’t kill me.”
Whoosh!
After the sound of the blade cutting through the air, a short blade was already on Lin Xiu’s neck. The female assassin looked at him with a smile and said: “Are you so sure that I won’t kill you?”
Lin Xiu said: “Because I am a good person, and so are you.”
Lin Xiu has done an in-depth investigation of this female assassin. Those
who died in her hands were all evil people who were full of evil and could not be dealt with by the law. In essence, she is the same person as Lin Xiu, and even hates evil more than Lin Xiu.
Lin Xiu also couldn’t stand some things, but except for special circumstances, he would not kill people himself.
Of course, even if Lin Xiu guessed wrong, and the female assassin really wanted to kill him because of the frame-up, it didn’t matter.
She couldn’t kill him.
It’s not that Lin Xiu looked down on her. Even if he stood here and let her stab him with the dagger, she couldn’t hurt him.
Her ability is to hide. This ability itself has no attack power. It is just an auxiliary type of ability.
Even if she has a good talent for martial arts, at this age, it is impossible for her to cultivate to the earth level, and naturally she can’t break his defense, so he has nothing to worry about.
Facts have proved that Lin Xiu was not wrong.
After he finished speaking, the female assassin took back the dagger, and without any movement, the dagger disappeared from her hand.
She sat back in the chair, crossed one leg, took a sip of tea, and then said, “Yes, I noticed you a long time ago. You are a good person. You stood up for that woman and killed the beast of the Zheng family this time. Although you framed me, even if you didn’t kill him, I would have killed him sooner or later.”
She looked up at Lin Xiu and asked, “What I wonder is that it was you who killed him, why don’t they suspect you at all?”
Lin Xiu was not surprised. The female assassin knew that he had killed Zheng Jian.
Everyone thought it was her, but only Lin Xiu and she knew that the case had nothing to do with her.
If it wasn’t her, there was only one possibility, Lin Xiu.
In fact, it wasn’t the people of the Qingli Division who didn’t suspect Lin Xiu. They suspected it, but they didn’t find any evidence. In a place like the Qingli Division, evidence is the most important thing.
Since ancient times, everyone has only one ability of supernatural power. This is common sense and something engraved in everyone’s subconscious.
They would never have thought that Lin Xiu also mastered the space supernatural power and could hide the murder weapon.
As it happens, there is another female assassin who hates evil and likes to leave flower petals at the scene after killing people. If she doesn’t take the blame, who else can take it?
In a short period of time, Lin Xiu’s mind was full of thoughts.
He now knew that the feeling of being followed at the palace gate today was not an illusion.
The reason why he didn’t see any figures was because she was invisible.
I don’t know when she started following him, and whether she saw anything she shouldn’t see, such as seeing him use abilities other than ice removal.
From yesterday to today, Lin Xiu did not go out to practice, and the possibility of leaking his abilities was not great.
Judging from the reaction of the female assassin at this moment, she should not know her true ability.
Lin Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, stretched out his right hand, condensed a sharp ice blade in his palm, and said: “I used an ice blade, they didn’t find the murder weapon, so they didn’t suspect me.”
“You are lying to me.” The female assassin glanced at him and said lightly: “Even if you use an ice knife, you will definitely leave the murder weapon. You must have used other methods, but you just don’t want to tell me.”
Lin Xiu was silent. This woman is too smart, smart to be annoying.
Fortunately, she did not pursue this issue. She looked at Lin Xiu and said, “Everyone has secrets. If you don’t want to tell me, I won’t force you. I have been paying attention to you for a long time. You can speak for the woman who died unjustly and avenge the brothel girl. It shows that you are also a good person who hates evil. Do you want to join our Tiandao League?”
Lin Xiu looked at her in surprise and asked, “Are you from the Tiandao League?”
As a powerful person in Daxia, Lin Xiu had certainly heard of the Tiandao League.
Although Daxia is a unified country, it is not stable. In addition to the government, there are many complicated folk forces, such as the Qinglian Sect, the Tiandao League, the Shadow Organization, etc….
Among them, some are rebels who oppose the court, and some are organizations that train assassins and killers. The purpose of the Tiandao League is to “act on behalf of heaven”, which is between the two.
Most of the people in Tiandao League hate evil and take chivalry as their duty. They kill corrupt officials and bandits, and do not deliberately oppose the court. However, many corrupt officials and playboys died in their hands, which naturally became the eyesores of the powerful.
Because these people are most likely to appear among the powerful.
Their hatred for Tiandao League is even greater than that for Qinglian Sect, the largest rebel party in Daxia.
However, Tiandao League has a very good reputation among the people.
The actions of this female assassin are completely in line with the style of Tiandao League.
But Lin Xiu does not intend to join Tiandao League.
Although he admired their behavior, the court considered this organization a rebel party. They would kill anyone who belonged to the Tiandao League without mercy.
Lin Xiu was not alone. He had a family.
If he joined the Tiandao League, once his identity was exposed, he would become the target of public criticism, and even the imperial concubine could not protect him. Joining a rebel party was
equivalent to rebellion, which was a capital crime punishable by extermination of the family. Lin Xiu would not risk his family.
He looked at the female assassin and said, “I will not join you. I will do something for the people in my own way.”
It seemed that Lin Xiu’s answer was expected. The female assassin was not disappointed when the invitation was rejected. She said, “You are different from other dignitaries. If you disagree, I will not force you. I hope you can continue to be a good person in the future. Otherwise, I will come to you again.”
After that, her body gradually became empty and soon disappeared in front of Lin Xiu.
Lin Xiu was very anxious now.
He did not want to join the Tiandao League, but he did not want to let her go.
This is the ability of invisibility, the invisibility ability he has always dreamed of…
Although this ability is only at the Xuan level, it is SSR level, a super rare ability, and its rarity is no less than Shuangshuang’s treatment. If he lets her go this time, Lin Xiu may never see her again.
He didn’t have time to think about it, and took two steps at a time to block the door.
Invisibility only hides the body, not completely disappearing. As long as Lin Xiu blocked the door, she couldn’t get out.
The voice of the female assassin soon came from the empty room.
“What do you want to do?”
Lin Xiu’s brain was working fast. He had to find a way to keep her no matter what. He quickly said, “Wait a minute, young lady. I have something to ask you.”
There was silence in the air for a moment, and then a voice was heard: “What is it?”
Lin Xiu said, “Zheng Jian is not the culprit of Miss Chen’s death, but Huang Tao is. I want to ask you to kill Huang Tao and avenge Miss Chen. I can pay you…”
The female assassin appeared again and said, “He is protected by strong people. I can’t kill him.”
Lin Xiu clasped his fists and said again, “To be honest, ever since you killed the scum Qin Cong, I have admired you very much…”
The female assassin glanced at him: “Are you serious?”
Lin Xiu took out the wanted order from his arms, unfolded it and said, “Every word is true. Look, I even collected a copy of your portrait, just to take it out and admire it from time to time…”
The female assassin chuckled and said, “You are doing this for the 100,000 taels of silver…”
Lin Xiu waved his hand and said, “Miss, you underestimate me. 100,000 taels of silver is nothing to me. Just 100,000 taels is far from being comparable to what you can get…”
The female assassin looked at him: “Just 100,000 taels?”
Seeing that she didn’t believe him, Lin Xiu explained, “Miss, you may not know that I own the most popular wine shop in the capital. 100,000 taels is just a few months’ profit for me.”
The female assassin looked at him in surprise and asked, “Did you open Hongniju?”
Lin Xiu smiled and said, “Miss, come with me.”
Hongniju’s top-quality Xianrenzui is hard to find outside, but in the Lin family’s wine cellar, it is piled up like a mountain.
After taking her to see it, Lin Xiu returned to the room, closed the door, and the figure appeared again.
She looked at Lin Xiu, thought for a moment and said, “You killed someone yourself and put the blame on me. I will bring two jars of wine as compensation.”
Unexpectedly, this female assassin was actually a wine lover. Lin Xiu was overjoyed and said, “What are you talking about, girl? Whenever you want to drink, you can come to me. You can drink my wine. When the time comes, I will ask the cook to cook a few side dishes for you…”
The female assassin looked at Lin Xiu with satisfaction. It was the first time she met such a sensible person.
After Lin Xiu’s operation, the distance between the two was immediately shortened.
He smiled as he looked at the female assassin and asked, “I have admired you for a long time, but I don’t know your full name?”
The female assassin glanced at Lin Xiu and said, “Chen Ke.”
Lin Xiu clasped her fists and said, “Oh, it’s Miss A Ke. My surname is Lin, and my given name is Xiu. If you have any difficulties in the future, please feel free to come to me. As long as I can be of any use, I will never refuse…”
Chen Ke looked at him and asked, “Aren’t you unwilling to join the Tiandao League?”
Lin Xiu sighed and said, “It’s not that I don’t want to, but that I can’t. Although I admire what Miss A Ke has done, I still have a family and I can’t risk their lives. I hope Miss A Ke understands.”
Chen Ke nodded .
She nodded and said, “That’s right, you are different from us, I won’t force you…”
As she was talking, she suddenly remembered something, stared at Lin Xiu, and asked, “Your name is Lin Xiu, Zhao Lingjun’s fiancé?”
How could anyone know Zhao Lingjun? Lin Xiu was embarrassed and said, “Miss A Ke also knows her?”
Chen Ke looked at him, smiling and said, “I know her, more than just knowing her, a year ago, I and more than a dozen allies of the Tiandao League almost died in her hands…”
Lin Xiu was stunned for a moment, then her face straightened, looked at Chen Ke and said, “Speaking of which, Miss A Ke may not believe it. Although we are engaged, I am not familiar with her…”
