"Oh? What's the secret?"
Su Jingqian lazily raised his chin and raised his lips slightly, looking as good-looking as a monster that confuses all living beings. He quietly stared at the sudden change of expression on her face and smiled meaningfully.
A sly smile rippled on Lin Wanwan's cheeks. She suppressed her previous annoyance and showed a calm expression on her brows, "Since it is a secret, how can Yue Wan say it at will? Besides, this is also Yue Wan's secret. It’s a bargaining chip for being late, isn’t it?”
"You are quite interesting."
The smile on Su Jingqian's face was as soft as the morning sun, making him appear approachable. However, under that smiling face, a pair of eyes as deep as a cold pool glowed with a frightening light, making people instantly change from this fake appearance. Sober in gentleness, not daring to step out of line at all.
"If I kill you now, your bargaining chip will be gone."
Lin Wanwan glanced at him calmly, and as her eyes turned, an unabashed provocation emerged from the corner of her eyes, and the sneer slowly rising at the corner of her lips was like an independent Manzhu Shahua. , making her whole person even more cold and charming.
"Ha, Master, you should know that if Yue Wan dies here today, then tomorrow, let alone your Xuanji Tower, even this Nanling City will not be so peaceful."
The smile on Su Jingqian's face did not diminish, but his eyes suddenly darkened, and a sharp cold light shot out from his eyes, "You threaten me? Do you think I really don't dare to touch you?"
Lin Wanwan raised her red lips and said, "You might as well give it a try."
Su Jingqian's expression changed suddenly, and he moved in front of Lin Wanwan in an instant. His slender fingers pinched her fair and soft neck. The windy and sunny face just now was already covered with thin ice, and his whole body was exuding... The cold anger and the powerful pressure between his eyebrows seemed to shatter the soul of the person in front of him.
His eyes were as sharp as blades, staring at her coldly, while her eyes, which were always as bright as stars, were now staring at him like sharp swords, not avoiding the hostility revealed in their eyes.
The four eyes collided, like lightning and thunder, and like swords striking each other.
They were so close that even Ziyu, who was standing aside, didn't notice that the sharp tip of the dagger hidden in Lin Wanwan's wide sleeve was facing Su Jingqian's chest, and the bloody The faint trace of blood could not be seen on the dark black robe.
The two of them looked directly into each other's eyes without hesitation, and the complex emotions in their eyes gradually condensed into an invisible sharp blade, piercing their chests back and forth without mercy.
Su Jingqian seemed to be offended by her actions, a fierce look flashed in his eyes, and the strength of his fingers became a little stronger unconsciously.
Lin Wanwan's face suddenly turned red, and she glared at him angrily. A vague mist filled her clear eyes at some point, but the dagger in her hand did not stab him again. Half a point.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, let go of his hand suddenly, turned his back and said solemnly: "The reaction is not bad."
"Cough...cough..." Lin Wanwan covered her chest and coughed several times before gasping, "Thank you for the compliment, Master."
After saying that, he waved his long sleeve, turned the dagger upside down, and put it into his sleeve.
"If you want to stay so much, then stay."
Su Jingqian walked to the window with his hands behind his back and faced the window. He could not clearly see his expression at the moment. He could only hear his faint voice, "Welcome to Tianshu Pavilion."
Tianshu Pavilion, the first assassination pavilion in the world, has been standing for more than thirty years. There are countless assassins in the pavilion, and the identity of each killer is a mystery. Only the master of the pavilion knows his true identity. Different killers are assigned to each task. As long as it is a business that Tianshu Pavilion is willing to take over, they almost never miss it. This kind of reputation has caused many people to struggle in the world, whether they are buyers or killers.
Lin Wanwan squeezed her slightly trembling palm, which was soaked with cold sweat, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief - she won the bet.
She calmed down and saluted Su Jingqian respectfully: "Thank you, sir."
Su Jingqian tapped his fingers on the window lattice a few times, glanced sideways at Ziyu who was standing aside, and ordered: "Take her to meet Le Yao and the others, and let Le Yao tell her the rules in the pavilion."
"yes."
"Yue Wan excuses herself."
After Ziyu and Lin Wanwan retreated, Su Jingqian's face instantly darkened. He touched the wet mark on his chest, and dots of bright red wrapped around his fingertips. The look in his eyes changed several times, and it was incredibly complicated. identify.
If she inserted the dagger an inch further...
She actually didn't make a move.
But in the confrontation just now, he clearly saw the fleeting killing intent in her eyes.
Ziyu led Lin Wanwan into the backyard, came to a wall and pressed the carved stamen on the right side of the wall with ease. Then a very hidden secret door appeared on the wall.
Lin Wanwan was a little surprised. She had lived here for so long, but she didn't realize that this was a secret door. No wonder the backyard of Xuanji Tower was deserted but heavily guarded. It was indeed Tianshu Pavilion's style of conduct, and it was hidden deep enough.
She followed Ziyu into the secret door, and where she came was a courtyard.
"This house was bought secretly by the master, and it is specially used for the girls of Tianshu Pavilion to live and practice martial arts."
Ziyu looked at Lin Wanwan's surprised expression and introduced to her with a smile, "There are four killers from Tianshu Pavilion in Xuanji Tower. They live here on weekdays, and the master sometimes comes to stay. You are also here. In your future residence, a maid will come to take you to the yard where you live soon."
Lin Wanwan nodded. She looked around and took a closer look at the house.
Looking up, I saw a century-old banyan tree with lush branches and leaves growing in the corner of the courtyard. At this time, the sunlight was falling through the gaps between the branches and leaves. Under the tree stood a square stone table, mottled. The halo of light sways gently above it. There are four stone benches surrounding the stone table, which looks extremely quiet and elegant, perfect for drinking tea, listening to the wind and admiring the moon.
The house looks very big, and you can vaguely see the many small courtyards leading to it from the winding corridors. The floor is very clean, and the flowers and plants are displayed in a unique style. Just like Su Jingqian's study, it is spotless and has a unique flavor, which shows that the master of the pavilion is very particular.
She looked up at the towering Xuanji Tower not far away and smacked her lips. The concealment is also quite good. Except for the fourth floor of Xuanji Building, which can see some of the courtyard, other floors cannot see it. It is no wonder that the fourth floor of Xuanji Building has become a restricted area of Xuanji Building.
She secretly admired it. It was indeed the work of Tianshu Pavilion. Such a place could be found in a busy city. It seemed to be a few streets away from Xuanji Tower. If you didn't come in, you wouldn't have noticed that there was actually only a wall between the courtyard and the backyard of Xuanji Tower. . As expected of the master of Tianshu Pavilion, he is so cautious that he can monitor every move here at any time even in Xuanji Tower.
Lin Wanwan collected her thoughts and asked Ziyu insinuatingly, "Are those girls usually in Xuanji Tower?"
Ziyu shook his head, "They rarely stay in the Xuanji Tower. Usually they only perform for high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the building. Girls like Long Shuang don't even show up and only play music through the screen."
She roughly understood that the killers of Tianshu Pavilion should only show up occasionally in Xuanji Tower to let everyone know that they are from Xuanji Tower. Only in this way can they conceal their true identities. That's why Tianshu Pavilion's branch in Nanling chose In the brothel.
Seeing Lin Wanwan's thoughtful expression, Ziyu thought for a while and then said: "Although the girl has entered the pavilion now, she is not familiar with the things in the pavilion. If you encounter any problems, you can ask these people for help." Girls, they are not complicated people and you can talk to them with confidence."
Lin Wanwan nodded and said to Ziyu, "Thanks for the tip."
Ziyu quickly returned the salute and said: "Girl, you don't need to salute me, Lord..."
Before Ziyu could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a crisp and melodious female laughter.
