Qin Shi: I went astray in the Heavenly Sect

Chapter 41 Assassination, Another Invitation
"It's just an illusion~~"

Standing on the second floor, Chen Xiuyuan saw a troop of soldiers charging towards them on the street. These soldiers were shrouded in black mist, which looked rather eerie in the quiet night.

Such scenes are exactly the same as those of ghost soldiers borrowing a path. If an ordinary person saw such a scene, they would probably be terrified, since in this era, people still firmly believe that ghosts and gods still exist.

With this thought in mind, Chen Xiuyuan's gaze became somewhat distant. In this world, it's really hard to say. After all, even the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden exists. It's not unreasonable to say that there really are immortals and gods.

The more one knows, the more one realizes the unknown, because in the grand scheme of things, one is ultimately too insignificant.

He remembered this sentence.

"Like a mayfly in the vastness of the universe, or a grain of millet in the boundless ocean."

Humans are insignificant in the face of heaven and earth, as insignificant as ants. Only by conforming to nature and transcending gains and losses can we obtain true freedom. Although this is just one person's opinion, it is also people's exploration of life and the world.

When he came to his senses, he saw Zi Nu joining the battle, wielding a chain snake soft sword.

Under the serene moonlight, a purple figure nimbly dodged and weaved, her slender waist seemingly boneless, displaying exaggerated flexibility in the face of the ghost soldiers' attacks. The Chain Serpent Soft Sword in her hand seemed to truly transform into multiple crimson snakes, agile, unpredictable, and ever-changing.

As for Han Fei, he stood still and did not cause any trouble for Zi Nu, but from this angle, he looked somewhat dazed.

Chen Xiuyuan gave Han Fei a deep look. The third sage of Confucianism. Although he had never met him in person, based on some fragments of his memory, it was not difficult to deduce that his strength was unfathomable. With such a master, it was indeed hard to believe that his personal disciple did not know any martial arts.

The battle didn't last long. With Zi Nu's help, the battle ended quickly. He sensed the killing intent at the end of the street gradually disappearing, and he knew in his heart that the person had also given up.

Seeing that the battle was over, Chen Xiuyuan withdrew his gaze. A night breeze gently blew by, closing his window.

Compared to Chen Xiuyuan, whose mind remained calm, Wei Zhuang, who was on the fourth floor, felt a very strange sensation. It seemed that someone else was watching the battle just now.

This feeling came quickly and went quickly; he didn't even realize when it disappeared.

Wei Zhuang, with his arms crossed over his chest, also had a cold look in his eyes.

"Is it someone from Nightfall??"

Besides this, he couldn't think of anything else at the moment, and tonight's assassination reminded him of one of Ji Wuye's subordinates, Mo Ya.

He remembered that this person was the leader of the Nightfall organization's "Hundred Birds" unit. What was most amazing about this person was not his fighting skills, but his lightness skill.

Is this a warning or a genuine intention to eliminate them?

Wei Zhuang looked towards the direction of the General's Mansion, his hand gripping the wine cup tightening unconsciously.

As a result of the assassination attempt, there was no further activity in Xinzheng in the latter half of the night.

The next day, Hongdou pushed open the door at the end of the second floor on time. Looking at the thick stack of bamboo slips on the table, she was a little surprised. She thought that the other party's talk of calling someone to read to him was just a whim, but she did not expect that he would actually listen to so many.

She knew Nongyu well; her beauty was among the best in the entire Zilan Pavilion. With such a beauty in front of him, how could this "little" guest remain unmoved?

"Young customer, were you satisfied yesterday?"

Seeing Chen Xiuyuan looking over, Hongdou's face once again beamed with a smile. She might find it strange, but she had no right to interfere in her guest's affairs. Chen Xiuyuan nodded slightly.

"Ah."

He then pointed to the bookshelf next to him, where about half of the bamboo slips were missing.

Is that girl free today?

Hongdou's eyes twitched when she heard this.

She knew Nongyu's temperament. Rather than accompanying other guests, she might prefer to come to Chen Xiuyuan's place. However, whether or not they had time was not up to them. It depended on Zi Nu and other guests. After all, Nongyu's zither playing was unparalleled in Zi Lan Xuan. Many dignitaries came to Zi Lan Xuan just to hear Nongyu play the zither.

"I can ask Sister Nongyu for you, but whether she's available or not isn't up to us sisters to decide. Sister Nongyu is a highly skilled musician, and many distinguished guests come here just to hear her play a tune."

At this point, Hongdou chuckled and said, "It's really a pity that you had Nongyu study with you yesterday, little sir."

Chen Xiuyuan nodded and said nothing more.

His goal wasn't to have Nongyu study; his goal was to learn Korean as quickly as possible so he could better carry out his plans. As for playing the zither, he had never learned those things, and if Nongyu were to play for him, he probably wouldn't understand it!
"Just a quick question will do. If you're busy, let's do it another day!"

Chen Xiuyuan picked up a new bamboo slip and said something as Hongdou was about to leave.

Hongdou smiled and agreed.

Looking at the young customer who was propping his head up with his hand and looking at the bamboo slip, Hongdou's gaze flickered slightly. Usually, this kind of service work was not easy to do. Sometimes the customers would be picky, and they would have to smile and be nice to them.

However, when she came to Chen Xiuyuan's place, she hardly felt any tension, boredom, or restraint. In fact, she felt more at ease than when she was with her girlfriends. Although she didn't quite understand why she had such a strange feeling when she came here, she didn't dislike it at all.

At first, she planned to find an excuse to fool this "little" customer in front of her, since he had already said that if she was not free, she could do it another day. But when she turned around, she went to the fourth floor and to Nongyu's room as if possessed.

It wasn't until she reached out and knocked on Nongyu's door that Hongdou's face showed a look of both laughter and tears.

The other party didn't try to sweet-talk her, so why did she come running over so eagerly?
"Sister Red Bean".

Upon seeing the visitor, Nongyu was somewhat surprised. Why was Hongdou here so early in the morning? Generally speaking, places like Zilanxuan do business at night. Although there are people during the day, there are very few.

Seeing that Nongyu seemed to have just gotten up, Hongdou's face suddenly flushed, and she felt a little embarrassed. However, remembering her purpose, she still spoke up.

"When I delivered lunch to the young customer on the second floor this morning, he asked me to ask him if he was free today."

Upon hearing this, Nongyu felt a little strange. When did Hongdou become so proactive?
"study?"

Hongdou thought for a moment and replied, "I think so~~ He also said that if I'm not free, we can do it another day~~"

After standing there for a while, Nongyu said, "There shouldn't be any problems during the day, since guests usually arrive at night. Please tell that young master that I'll tidy up and come over in a bit."
