After the indigenous heroine was reborn, she went crazy and reorganized the plot line

Chapter 131 Communication

"You're finally back! Did you succeed?"

The woman walked out anxiously and saw a killer in black walking in from the cave entrance.

Her eyes fell on the black-clad assassin's waist. Seeing the familiar mark, she felt relieved and began to question the black-clad assassin in a scolding voice: "I'm asking you! Why don't you answer? How is the matter going?"

The assassin in black looked at the woman, lowered his voice slightly, and said respectfully, "It's done."

Hearing that it was completed, the woman was delighted. As long as she completed the task assigned by her master, her status would definitely rise in the future!

"Very good. Is the person dead? Why are you alone? Where are the helpers you brought with you? And why are you so careless? If the person is dead, you should bring the body to me. At least I want to confirm it. Otherwise, how can I explain to the master?"

The woman's joy only lasted for a moment, and then she started to act arrogantly, unhappily accusing the killer in black.

The assassin in black remained silent for a long moment before speaking: "The body has been cleaned up and no trace will be left. My people didn't come to deal with the body."

The woman tutted coldly and said disdainfully, "Forget it, as long as Lianxin is dead, it's fine. As long as it doesn't hinder the master's plan, that's it. You can also go back and explain to your sect leader. I'm going back now."

Seeing that the woman was about to leave, the killer in black moved and blocked her way.

The woman immediately became displeased and looked at him angrily: "Anything else?"

The assassin in black suddenly raised his head, his cold black eyes flashing with murderous intent. The woman saw it and stepped back in fear: "You are not from the Secret Shadow Pavilion! Who are you? Why are you pretending to be from the Secret Shadow Pavilion!"

A cold smile flashed across his black eyes. He waved his hand, and before the woman could even see him swinging his sword, a red mark appeared on her neck. She looked at him in surprise and horror, and died in less than a moment.

"The dead have no right to know." Shen Peiqing pulled off the black cloth on his face, revealing a cold and handsome face.

Staring at the dead woman, he used the sword to lift her veil, memorized the woman's appearance, and used the sword to hook a hairpin on her bun.

Taking it in his hand, he noticed the character "C" engraved on the hairpin. Suddenly, he understood something and murmured with narrowed eyes, "Is there any grudge between the Jin'an Palace and Lianxin?"

After putting away the hairpin, Shen Peiqing turned around and left the salt water cave.

After Lianxin bandaged Rong Su's wound, she has been busy ever since. She went to find some dead wood to pile up, apparently wanting to make a bonfire, and then went to find some stones, probably flint that is easier to start a fire.

While watching her busy, Rong Su was still thinking about one thing and looked at Lian Xin.

She then asked, "Lianxin, do you still remember the girl you saved?"

Lian Xin heard Rong Su's question and stopped, with a puzzled look on her face, thinking bitterly: I remember. Why did Sister Rong suddenly mention that girl?

Seeing that she remembered, Rong Su pressed on, "So what do you remember about her appearance, or any characteristics? How old is she?"

After asking, she looked closely at Lianxin's expression, but Lianxin looked like she was thinking hard, and it seemed that she couldn't remember anything at all, which really made her uneasy and worried.

As expected, Lianxin looked at her with a guilty and apologetic expression: "I'm sorry. Sister Rong, I really can't remember." Whenever I think of her, the girl's face becomes blurry, and so does her voice.

How could this happen? Did that person do something to Lianxin?

No, if that was the case, she had also asked Uncle Xu at that time, and Uncle Xu's situation was similar to Lianxin's.

What kind of ability can make two people forget their appearance at the same time?

Rong Su suddenly felt a little heavy in his heart. It seemed that this opponent was more difficult to deal with than he had imagined.

Lian Xin didn't understand why Rong Su cared about this, but seeing her sad face, she became a little worried: Sister Rong, did something happen?

Seeing Lian Xin asking her worriedly, Rong Su shook her head: "It's nothing. I just asked. I heard Uncle Xu talk about it before, so I'm curious about that girl."

Lianxin felt relieved after hearing her words, realizing it wasn't a serious matter. However, when she mentioned Xu Cao, her worries resurfaced: "I wonder what's happened to Uncle Xu? He said he was going to look for his brother, but I don't know if he's found him yet."

Rong Su naturally understood Lianxin's worries. It was also very strange that Xu Cao got the news about his brother just after they returned.

She thought about it and decided that she had to send a message to Aku and ask him to find a way to investigate.

At this moment, she heard footsteps and looked around alertly.

It was Shen Peiqing who slowly walked out from the depths of darkness. His black clothes completely blended in with the dark light in the depths, making him look like a terrifying evil ghost at night.

But why did he change his clothes?

It was still the black-clad killer's clothes, and Rong Su narrowed his eyes.

When Lianxin saw Shen Peiqing coming back, she quickly stood up and said: I'll go see if there is a small stream nearby so I can catch some fish.

It was getting dark, and there was no telling if there were any assassins lurking nearby. Rong Su reached out and grabbed Lian Xin, saying, "It's getting dark. It's better not to wander around."

Lianxin looked at her with worried eyes. From her expression, she could tell that she seemed to be saying that she was injured and needed some food to heal her wound.

He sighed helplessly and was about to say something when Shen Peiqing said, "Since Miss Lianxin is so kind, let her go. I've checked the surroundings and there's no danger."

Lian Xin was still looking at her with pleading and worried eyes. Rong Su put her hand on her forehead and said helplessly, "Forget it. Then don't stray too far from us. Come back if you can't find it. You might encounter wild animals in the deep forest."

Knowing that Rong Su was worried about her, Lian Xin felt happy and nodded with a smile: Okay, I won’t go far.

Then Lianxin took a burning piece of wood from the bonfire that Shen Peiqing had started, wrapped it in a handkerchief, and left with a simple torch.

Shortly after Lian Xin left, Rong Su stared at the blazing flames. Without looking at Shen Peiqing who was sitting beside him, he asked, "You deliberately didn't kill the black-clad assassin you fought last, and let him go. You did this to track down the mastermind behind him."

The crackling sound of the flames was particularly loud in the cold and silent night.

The other party was silent for a long moment before answering her. Listening to that deep voice was like listening to the sound of cold stone washed by the night and having water dripping on it.

"That's right. I let him go on purpose."

Sure enough, the black clothes on his body should have been exchanged with the black-clad killer, and then he went to meet the person who ordered it.

Rong Su pondered for a moment, then sighed coldly, saying, "This is probably not the only thing you've done on purpose. You deliberately told me the information about Li Anguo's murder, and then lured me back to Wanyue Village. Perhaps you even knew there were assassins lying in ambush. But you still lured me back. So, Shen Peiqing, what exactly is your purpose in doing this?"

When she thought that all this was Shen Peiqing's calculations for her, she once thought that Shen Peiqing wanted to use those killers to kill her, but when she thought about it carefully, this was not right. With Shen Peiqing's current abilities, he could easily kill her, so there was no need to spend so much effort.

And if he really planned to kill her, why did he save her later?

Why did she think Shen Peiqing might want to kill her? It was only because his internal strength had recovered a lot now, and he only needed Bai Ku Shen to fully recover. As long as he found Bai Ku Shen, even without her, he could find any doctor to prescribe a prescription.

In fact, he no longer needed her. She was a little naive before and actually thought that after saving him, he would fulfill his promise. However, people's hearts are treacherous. Who knows if he will turn against her in the end?

When she was already thinking of many possibilities of Shen Peiqing plotting against her, Shen Peiqing saw through Rong Su's expression at the moment through the dim firelight.

He chuckled softly, sounding like he was mocking someone, or laughing at something funny.

Hearing him laughing, Rong Su suddenly became a little annoyed: "What are you laughing at? Am I wrong?"

Shen Peiqing stopped laughing, turned his head, stared at Rong Su, and said softly, "You guessed it right. I deliberately told you the information about Li Anguo's murder. I could predict that if you knew this information, you would definitely return to Wanyue Village. I seem to understand you a little. You seem ruthless and don't care about anyone or anything, but in fact, you have been thinking about it for a long time. Didn't you come back because you were afraid that Xu Cao would get into trouble?"

Hearing these words, Rong Su didn't know whether she was even more angry because he hit the mark, or was upset because he denied being ruthless. She retorted coldly, "Why do you think so? Shen Peiqing, don't pretend to understand me! If you planned to have me return to Wanyue Village so that you could kill me with assassins, you don't have to go to such lengths. With your current abilities, one palm strike would be enough to kill me."

"Of course, I'm not someone who will just let others kill me. If you dare to kill me, I definitely have a way to save my life. Even if I can't beat you with my current ability, I can still die with you!"

Looking at the girl in front of him whose eyes were filled with hostility and vigilance, and hearing her thinking this way about him, Shen Peiqing felt a dull pain in his heart for some reason.

He removed his gaze from her face and cast his eyes into the distance. In a low, cold voice, his emotions were indistinguishable, he said, "Like you said, it would be easy for me to kill you right now. I don't need to use an assassin to kill you. And I have no reason to kill my partner."

This man even admitted that she was his partner? Rong Su let go of her hostility towards him a little, but she still felt wary.

"Then why did you lead me back to Crescent Moon Village?"

Shen Peiqing was silent for a while, then suddenly turned to look at her. His pair of black eyes seemed to reflect golden light like the sun under the golden firelight, shining a little.

"What if I say I just want to stay with you for a while longer? Would you believe me?"

Hearing this, Rong Su was stunned for a moment, then frowned, not quite understanding what Shen Peiqing wanted to express. This guy still hadn't told the truth, was he teasing her?

"Shen Peiqing! I just want to hear your real purpose!"

Shen Peiqing looked at Rong Su who was getting angrier and angrier. Her cheeks began to turn red, which was obviously a sign of anger. He felt inexplicably depressed. It seemed that she didn't believe it. Well, it was normal for her not to believe it.

He lowered his eyes slightly and said in a calm voice, "To find out your real reason for staying to help Lianxin."

what?

At this moment, the surroundings became increasingly quiet, and Rong Su could even hear her own rapidly beating heartbeat. Did this guy see something? No, definitely not. He just suspected that she suddenly wanted to help Lian Xin because this was inconsistent with her usual behavior, right?

All kinds of doubts are like pouring water into a teapot. The water splashes in the pot continuously and creates confusing ripples that cannot be calmed down.

"Rong Su. You must be hiding a lot of things from me. It's not surprising that people have secrets. I don't really try to delve into other people's secrets. It's just that I'm curious about you. Don't let me find out. Once I do, I won't be able to stop digging until I know everything."

Shen Peiqing concealed the darkness in his eyes, but the words he said made Rong Su feel nervous for a moment.

What he meant was that he was going to hold on to her until she was dead. Damn it, did he think her secrets were so easily dug out?

"I'm helping you." Rong Su had calmed down and looked at Shen Peiqing.

Shen Peiqing never expected Rong Su to say such a thing. He was stunned for a moment, but he quickly recovered and stared into her eyes: "Help me?"

It depends on how you, girl, make up stories.

"Aku told me that besides him investigating King Jin'an, there seemed to be another force investigating King Jin'an. It happened that we were all in Xuancheng at the time, and after arriving in Xuancheng, Shitou was often not there either. I guess you are also investigating King Jin'an, right?" Rong Su was not afraid of Shen Peiqing's scrutiny at all.

Shen Peiqing was a little surprised and raised his eyebrows. Seeing that she was looking at him directly and speaking firmly, it seemed that he had suspected her for a long time.

He didn't hide it anymore: "You guessed right. I'm investigating King Jin'an. What does it have to do with what you said about helping me?"

"I've explained it so clearly, don't you understand? Are you really smart, or are you just pretending to be smart?" Rong Su couldn't stand Shen Peiqing's stupid question and rolled her eyes at him.

Seeing Rong Su's look of disgust towards him, Shen Peiqing was not angry. In fact, he asked this question on purpose, just wanting to hear it from her mouth. It was boring to guess it himself, and it would be more interesting to hear others admit it in person.

"Haha. Maybe it's because it's late at night, I can't seem to keep up with your thinking." Shen Peiqing said in a teasing tone.

Seeing that he was not angry, Rong Su wondered if this man's IQ was really sometimes there and sometimes not?

Not wanting to dwell on this, Rong Su silently explained, "In Central Continent, we've discovered a bounty warrant for your arrest, which means Northern Continent forces are beginning to infiltrate Central Continent. Currently, only Eastern Continent hasn't been infiltrated by Northern Continent forces. This is where you're rebuilding your power. Am I right?"

Shen Peiqing looked at her, his little mouth moving, his expression vividly expressing helplessness and disgust. He just found it interesting, and after hearing her question, he responded, "Yeah, that's right."

Seeing his confirmation, Rong Su continued, "So, Prince Jin'an is your first step in infiltrating the power. Because Prince Jin'an commands a large army and has a good relationship with the Emperor of Dongzhou, as long as you gain Prince Jin'an's trust, it will be much easier to gain support from Dongzhou. As for cultivating power, it goes without saying that it will be much easier. Right?"

"Yeah. That's right." Shen Peiqing stared at her, his voice clear and gentle.

But Rong Su didn't think so. She just felt that this guy was just trying to please her!
