"You are a very beautiful dog, sir. But you are too fierce."

"...I have to remind you, she is a wolf."

He Shenyan was sitting at a roadside tea stall, slowly sipping a cup of tea. The owner of the tea stall might have seen that he was the only customer, so he simply started chatting to pass the time. But he was obviously not very good at it.

Choose the topic, or maybe you just don't have the vision.

His words made the female wolf growl at him. Once a wolf makes that expression, it is very intimidating to people who have never seen wild beasts. When wild beasts bared their teeth, few people dared to face them directly.

of fangs.

The tea stall owner's voice sounded like he was about to cry: "...Can you tell it to stop baring its teeth at me?"

"Okay." He Shenyan took another sip and showed a satisfied smile: "But you have to apologize to her yourself. Remember, it's her."

The tea stall owner carefully knelt down and looked at the beautiful white wolf. He tried to organize his words: "Uh, this, this beautiful wolf lady, I'm sorry I called you a dog - don't bite me.

,I was wrong!"

When he said the word dog, the she-wolf took a step forward. He was so startled that he immediately closed his eyes and shouted for help, but the pain did not come. When he opened his eyes, the she-wolf was looking at him with contempt.

, and then whined twice.

The mage looked at all this with a smile: "She said you were even."

The tea stall owner breathed a sigh of relief. He no longer dared to talk about the wolf, and turned to another matter: "Are you a practitioner? A monk? No, no, no, I see.

There are few monks who have ever lived who are as handsome as you."

"Me? I'm just a traveler. At best, I'm a little special... Talking about specialness, do you know what special things have happened in Presidio recently?"

Mentioning this, the tea stall owner became very interested: "You are asking the right person. I have been running a shop here for almost ten years. I have seen everyone, but of course, I have never seen anyone like you. Prey

What happened to Xidian recently...let me think about it."

He thought for a while and then said: "If I have to say it, there are always some Noxians wandering around recently. Does this count? But they are actually pretty good people, just a bit rough. And they always talk.

Talking about power and stuff..."

"A while ago, one of them was challenged by a martial artist from Presidence because of this matter. He said that the fact that they talked about such vulgarity in the Holy Land was disturbing people's spiritual cultivation." The tea stall owner shook his head and said.

Trying to imitate the martial artist's tone, even the words he spoke became half-literal.

The mage raised his eyebrows, nodded, and then drank the tea in the cup in one gulp: "Thank you for the news. Besides, the tea is good."

The tea stall owner grinned proudly: "Of course! My tea is very famous! You're good to go!"

Night falls.

Shen's breathing was very restless, and it was difficult for him to maintain the calm breathing pattern he used to. Jie, who was squatting next to him, could hear him swallowing saliva due to excessive nervousness every once in a while.

"You have to calm down, Shen." Jie said in a low voice.

"I can't calm down, Jie, we are going to kill someone..." Shen answered him in the same low tone.

But in fact, Jie's reaction was no better than Shen's. He felt that the short knife in his hand was full of sweat, even through the hand wrapping, the handle was soaked. The clothes on his body were also itchy, and in his mind

At this moment, the world was filled with a dark light.

They squatted on the cliff, overlooking the village at the foot of the mountain. They lived in harmony. This was when people had dinner, spent time at the entrance of the village or at home and were getting ready to fall asleep. The laughter of children reached their ears from time to time.

, making the expressions of the two people become more solemn.

Shen took another deep breath: "Do we really want to do this?"

"This is the way to balance. You and I have no other choice..." Jie responded in a low voice. He felt nauseous to himself, disgusted to the point of despair.

God, how could I say such a thing?

When it was completely dark, they entered the village. It was very quiet here. They came to the first house at the entrance of the village, and heard a man snoring from inside. One of Jie and Shen squatted at the front door, and the other climbed through the window and entered.

Holding the short knife in his hand, Jie had never felt so difficult to make a choice. He looked at the sleeping man and asked himself: Do I really want to kill him? This is a living, innocent man. He has never done anything bad.

, the biggest evil may just be to say a few bad words about someone behind their back...

Do I really want to kill him?

He asked himself again.

After a while, Jie opened the door and walked out of the house with blood on his hands. His expression was gloomy. Shen looked at the blood on his hands and asked, "Are you really...?"

"Stop asking, it's your turn." Jie interrupted.

They left the house, and this time it was Shen's turn to climb through the window and enter. Jie stood at the door, and he unwrapped his left hand. There was a deep scar visible on the bone, and the blood came from there. He took a look,

Then he wrapped his hands tighter.

After a while, Shen climbed out of the window.

"I can't do it," he said simply.

Jie's eyes widened and he yelled in a low voice: "What are you thinking about? This is equilibrium -"

"Stop pretending, Jie. I can hear that man snoring. You didn't kill him at all." Shen interrupted him.

The young man raised his head and said with difficulty, word by word: "Let's stop the killing that hasn't started yet, quit."

"But this is the order of Master Kushuo... You and I are both disciples of Kyodo, and we must obey it."

"This is a wrong order. No, I won't obey it. Do you understand what he wants us to do? He wants us to kill people! Kill innocent people! Look at those people, can you do it?"

Shen turned back and pointed at the room: "There is a family of three lying there! The child is not even as high as my waist——! Just do it if you can! But I can't do it! I would rather go back and be punished!

"

After Shen finished speaking, he panted heavily and walked towards the entrance of the village. It was as if all his energy had been spent after saying these words.

Not long after, Jie followed him. Shen asked in a nonchalant manner: "Why are you following me?"

"Don't worry about it."

"Oh, why, you want to go back with me to be punished?"

"...Shut up, or I'll beat you up."

"You can't beat me."

"Let me use the fist blade if you have the ability."

The two of them quarreled and walked away, but not long after they left, another group of masked men appeared with daggers on their backs.
