NOVEL NEXT Chapter 63
Chapter 63: You kill first, I’ll go home and make breakfast!
Creak, creak. The old wooden window made a wheezing sound in the wind.
It was like an old man on the verge of death, gasping for breath at any moment.
The room was lit by a dim oil lamp.
The orange light was not bright, but it illuminated the figures in the room clearly.
Four people sat at the table, both men and women.
In the dark corner, there was a tall figure.
A woman leaning against the wall had her eyes closed, as if dozing off.
“What time is it?”
Suddenly, the person in the corner spoke in a muffled voice.
The masked young man at the table squinted and answered, “It has just passed the hour of Ugly, entering the hour of Yin.”
“Ah, Yin, it seems the mission has failed.”
A burly man snorted, “Jing Ni made a mistake, probably the first time in so many years.”
Another voice chimed in, “So, is the envoy from the Wei Empire really Nameless?”
The woman leaning against the wall spoke, “Did she die at the hands of Nameless?”
“She shouldn’t have, if Jing Ni wanted to leave, no one could stop her.”
“Yes, wasn’t she able to escape on the street before? If it wasn’t for her revealing her skills, Ji Wuye would not have been able to deduce that it was Jing Ni’s sword that caused the deaths of his men. Who would have thought she would be hiding in Xinzheng?”
The masked man sneered, “And she even married a blind man.”
A short man licked his lips, his eyes full of greed, “Jing Ni, I’ve been craving her for a long time, that figure is more enticing than Li.”
Buzz! Suddenly, a cold light flashed in the room, a flying needle grazed his cheek.
The short man became angry, “Xun Feng, what are you doing?”
The masked man narrowed his eyes, “Kan Shu, I’m just reminding you to watch what you say, if you dare mention Li again, this needle will stick in your mouth next time!”
Li, was the woman, who was dozing against the wall.
She glanced at Xun Feng, unfazed.
“You guys are so noisy, I can’t sleep!”
Suddenly, a seven or eight-year-old girl emerged from the inner room, rubbing her sleepy eyes and holding a round bamboo basket.
Kan Shu’s face darkened, “Little kid, adults are talking, go away!”
The little girl raised her eyebrows, “But you guys woke me up!”
“Alright, enough talking from everyone.”
A hunched old woman came out holding a clay pot.
Yin Wu scanned the room, her voice hoarse, “You haven’t had a peaceful day.”
At this point, there were eight figures in the room.
Men, women, old, and young.
They were the assassins of the Luo Network, the Eight Linglong.
Each of the eight possessed unique skills.
Together, they were a force to be reckoned with!
“Jing Ni’s mission failed, Li will report back to the Prime Minister. The rest of you, follow me to kill Jing Ni, and…that blind man.”
The man in the corner emerged from the darkness with a fierce aura.
He decisively announced, and no one challenged him.
It appeared he was their leader!
Jing Ni’s betrayal of the Luo Network was a capital offense.
If she managed to escape from Nameless, this was the best opportunity to kill her!
Boom! The tightly closed door was smashed open.
A cold light flew in from outside, landing directly on the table.
“Who?”
“Who goes there?”
The people in the room were immediately on high alert!
“This is… the Hanguang Sword!”
Xun Feng’s gaze fell on the table, moonlight shining in from the shattered door.
On the table, a faintly visible long sword was firmly planted.
At the mention, the faces of the people changed, and their eyes all turned towards the table.
“Really is the sword of light, its Nameless’s sword!”
“The swordsman’s sword will never leave his body. The sword is here, has Nameless died?”
Kan Shu’s eyes turned, showing surprise: “Did Jing Ni kill Nameless? This is impossible!”
If Jing Ni can kill even Nameless, then he will never have a chance to plan against her in his lifetime!
“Since you’re here, why not come out?”
Gan Sha, the leader stared closely at the door, his eyes full of vigilance.
A gust of wind blew by, and suddenly a figure appeared at the door that was empty just a moment ago.
Dressed in a tight black outfit, with a slender and beautiful figure.
Kan Shu’s eyes lit up, swallowing hard a few times.
The woman leaning against the wall showed a hint of jealousy in her eyes, coldly saying: “Jing Ni, you really killed Nameless!”
Gan Sha took a deep breath, also shocked by this.
Jing Ni stood outside the door expressionlessly.
After scanning the faces of the crowd with indifferent eyes, Jing Ni inexplicably said, “Everyone’s here, I’m going home to make breakfast.”
The people in the room were stunned for a moment, not understanding what she meant by that.
Gan Sha said in a deep voice, “The mission is complete, you can start the next one.”
“The next task, how about killing all eight of you instead?”
Suddenly, a faint voice accompanied by a soft click came from behind them!
The faces of the crowd changed drastically!
When did someone enter the room, and they didn’t even notice!
Everyone turned around at the same time, instantly petrified with fear!
The woman leaning against the wall had already had her neck twisted and pinned to the wall!
And the one who killed her was actually a blind person!
