Fengyue was speechless as Qinsong and Cheng looked suspiciously at him, whereas Zhishu who was sitting beside him seemed indifferent, whereas his eyes were clearly drawn to Fengyue's answer to Qinsong's question.
It's just that Zhishu's gaze even made him misunderstand.
" W-how could I like it? I care isn't it natural? He helped me restore my sanity, after all, I like other girls." Fengyue said.
" uh? " Qinsong and Cheng muttered simultaneously.
" Once it is, my intention to see Mr. Zhan is to check my pulse, why so talk about others? " cock Zhishu.
" Zhishu was right, maybe Xishi couldn't stop sneezing there! " add Qinsong.
' Right, these two fools can't see it clearly! However, why was Song Qinsong so reckless? '
Zhishu dissolved in his mind to the point of not hearing Cheng's call, he came to his senses after Fengyue touched his shoulder.
" You're daydreaming, huh? " ask Fengyue.
" Ah, sorry. I think too much." replied Zhishu.
Zhishu extended his hand to Cheng to check his pulse, the three of them both looked at Cheng, until something was noticed by Fengyue.
" Zhishu, weren't you hurt yesterday? " ask Fengyue.
Because it was realized, Zhishu did not hide it anymore. He'll be honest about this.
" Ah, that.. I seem to have forgotten to tell you something." said Zhiyu then pulled out his sword.
Zhishu slashed his palm in an instant, making the person who saw him flinch in shock. However, after that he showed his blood that stopped flowing before the incision finally closed again and disappeared miraculously.
" I can't be hurt by these kinds of things, just calm down! " he said while raising the corner of his lips.
' Wait! It looks like something looks familiar!! ' murmured Fengyue.
After a few seconds, a servant came and called them to immediately go to the back hall to begin the meeting. It did not feel like time passed so quickly that the waiting moment had arrived.
They reached the back hall, there were already guests gathered like yesterday, Zheyan and Zhexuan had already come. However, Zhishu did not see Zheyan carrying the sword, it started to make Zhishu think excessively.
Despite this, he could still hold back his question, as this meeting would also definitely discuss the matter of 'Target', with this Zhishu had a plan to kill Zhan Xishi.
Zhishu entered in following Fengyue, Qinsong and Cheng behind him before finally the three men began to occupy their respective places. Zhishu began to occupy his place and waited for Zhexuan to open his mouth regarding his agreement.
Shortly after Zhishu sat down, Zhexuan started to get up and speak.
" As agreed, I've fulfilled your wish, now it's your turn to speak! "
Zhishu got up.
" Give me proof first, after that I will grant their request! " reply Zhishu.
Zhexuan started to grit his teeth, then turned his head lazily towards Zheyan.
" Are you going to sit down? " catch Zhexuan.
Zheyan also rose up, then showed his true form, not until there he also showed the sword belonging to the first Bai Long Qishi.
^^^(Zhu Zheyan //Zhan Feng)^^^
Zhishu smiled, his haru taste so much that his eyes felt so hot.
Zheyan smiled at Zhishu, there was a word stuck in his mouth. I don't know why he didn't dare to say it in this situation.
" Alright, I will bet with my own head, there will be no terror from the ghosts in the future, if that happens, he said, I Zhu Zhishu will behead myself before the leaders of the sects!! "
Zhishu said that out loud of course making the entire hall goosebumps. He risked himself for the safety of man.
" Zhis-em, Bai Long Qishi Zhishu, you can think back on that" Fengyue said.
" No! I have said it and will not retract my words. But, if I hear any one of you dares to offend King Xiali, then I will kill him with my own hands! " crycamp Zhishu.
" Eh, is he really that serious about the afterlife King? Have they not met? Was the King of the Baka Realm so handsome that Zhishu said such a thing? It's hideous!! ' muttered Qinsong.
'Is it true that this Bai Long Qishi was educated by Zheyan? Why did his attitude change drastically overnight? Did he just negotiate with the Baka Realm King last night? ' murmured Hanrong.
' It seemed like the King of the Baka Realm treated him well, to the extent that he dared to say that? How scary! ' murmured Cheng Lu.
' Zhu Zhishu? What kind of pressure are you going through, why is it like this? Aren't you Bai Long Qishi? You're not under the threat of King Xiali, are you? ' murmured Fengyue.
Silent. There was no one to budge, not even Zhexuan and Zheyan.
" If there's nothing to talk about, I'll go! " chir Zhishu broke the silence.
Instantly the entire room regained consciousness before Zhishu began to move.
" Wait, I want to get a solution from you! " gaochang said.
" solutions? For what trouble? " ask Zhishu.
" It was recently reported that the assassination organizations were targeting Xishi---
" then? What do you want me to come up with a solution for? " cut Zhishu.
' At least listen until I'm done talking! 'gaochang murmured in the heart.
" Eh, what do you mean? " ask Beiyang.
" They didn't target Zhan Xishi for no reason, how much do you think he offended those assassins until even Master Shi intervened directly? " ask Zhishu.
Silent again, no one answered, some of them began to remember the times when Xishi's life was threatened.
" Night Killer, Killer Yue and the Killer Fox! They must have a good reason to target Zhan Xishi, only one truth that is not realized and still makes people wrong, the Killer Organization will not cooperate with each other, he said, but they can work with influential people! " zhishu.
" W-is there any way to save him? " ask Hua.
" Eh, if you want to save her, you have to be ready to deal with those killers! You think they're targeting Xishi to kill? Who knew they saw Xishi's martial skills and intended to recruit him, didn't you wonder? Who was the teacher Zhan Xishi meant? Who knew that he would meet one of those assassins and start working together? " said Zhishu started provoking.
Zhiyu got up suddenly and started talking out loud.
" I remember! Just then Master Shi said something about Zhan Xishi the traitor! Isn't there a possibility? "
' I found you! ' Zhishu's inner murmur.
" It's Empty! My sister can't even swing a sword! " deny Qibo.
At times like this, Zhishu instead seemed to enjoy the situation. However, he had his own plan, a plan that came based on his situation.
" Since this matter has nothing to do with me, then I won't get involved any further. Oh, yes, I just learned one thing about the Luo Village fire, it has nothing to do with the ghost swordsman! " said Zhishu.
" Eh, how do you know? " ask Gaochang.
" Then, what about Master Shi? " ask Zhiyu.
" Don't you say it earlier, your point is that Xishi defected and joined the Night Killer right? If it's true, you just have to prove it, after that, you'll know whether to protect him or kill him! " answered Zhishu calmly.
" If not the Night Killer and the Ghost Swordsman, then who burned down Luo Village? " ask Cheng Lu.
" Mister Jiang, why not ask that directly to Young Master Luo, it seems like she just forgot something, if I ask, who did you offend when you helped Zhan Xishi? " ask Zhishu with an intimidating look.
After that he started to step his feet out of the hall without saying goodbye. Some people stared at his disappearance, some looked towards Zhiyu.
' Eh, is it because. ' Zhiyu's inner murmur came to a halt.
" Zhiyu, back then you said magical sword, wasn't it really the Killing Fox? " cock Zheyan.
" Sister-Em, right, it seems that it was because I saved Xishi back then." Zhiyu said.
' If Xishi died back then, maybe Luo village wouldn't have been burned, would it? It seems like you have to prove one truth! ' inner murmur Zhiyu.
Meanwhile, the activity outside the Song Residence was proceeding peacefully after previously still being in a vigilant situation as the Yue Killer roamed around the city. However, ever since the incident of the brothel fire, the Yue Killers did not appear again and made the situation calm again.
As the cult leaders begin to believe in 'Target', Xishi begins to devise a new plan to erase Zhan Xishi's identity within himself and live life as the most feared figure in the world.
Although it might be a bit extreme, but he already said so then there would be no one else who could stop him.
In addition, the real 'Target' was not Zhan Xishi, but rather the Night Killer. Because from the very beginning the assassin organization moved only to gain the top spot and reach the point where they became a threat to all peace. In order to achieve that they only need to defeat the strongest.
Although the previous Yue Killer tried to show his sadism through murder, but their first action was actually failed by Liu Xingsheng. It can be said as a weapon to eat the master, which they are defeated by their own prey. The second action was again failed by Xishi who saved Yanxun's life, continuing like that until something invited Master Shi came to their headquarters.
In contrast to Killer Yue, the Killing Fox did its act thoroughly and did not take turns to every city. They spread out in every corner of the city to find the whereabouts of the Night Killer, besides, they were also looking for the mysterious figure who had dealt with them, Liu Xingsheng.
...***...
The meeting had ended, now the clan leaders started to return to their respective cities, Nie Fengyue was no exception.
Song Gaochang and Hanrong were chatting before returning home, Qinsong also spoke a little before Fengyue returned.
" Fengyue, you mustn't like Xishi, yes! " qinsong.
" I'll never like a weird girl like her! " reply Fengyue as usual.
" You always say that, boring! " murm Qinsong.
" Sister, you guys always talk about my sister, especially Kak Qinsong, do you really like my sister? " ask Hua.
" Heh, you asked that when you knew the answer! " qinsong.
" How does that make you like it? " ask Hua.
Qinsong spontaneously looked towards Hua, his face looking solemn as if he wanted the right answer.
" Babh.. Actually in this world there is no shortage of beautiful and kind girls, but Xishi is very different, he is much different from the girl I have met, his cold gaze, his firm demeanor, her courage and knowledge are not in any other girl, she is so special that I am unable to take my eyes off." replied Qinsong.
Hua smiled, she felt satisfied at his reply, but instead, Fengyue was amused to hear it.
" I'm nauseous! " fengyue chirps made a change of expression on Qinsong and Hua's faces.
" Yue'er, let's go home! " hanrong's voice distracted them.
Fengyue and Hua stepped closer towards Hanrong. Meanwhile, Qinsong looked at them with a sad look.
" Song'er come to visit Tang City, we will wait for your arrival" Hanrong said with a smile.
" I'll come, thank you Uncle Nie. "reply to Qinsong.
Then the three began to step away from before Qinsong.
Later that night, Xishi was in the inn at Jian Yi. He fell asleep until nightfall, before Xishi awoke from his sleep, he felt someone hugging him from behind.
The two hands clasped Xishi's hands, as if holding him back from leaving his arms.
Xishi opened his eyes slowly, scented the same as back then. This warm embrace even made Xishi feel wary.
" who? " ask Xishi.
" Have you forgotten me? Just yesterday.. "
The same voice as back then, the exact same fragrance and coldness, when Xishi thought that this man was him however, as soon as he heard his voice Xishi immediately recalled to someone who had the exact same voice.
" King Xiali" said Xishi.
" Hm? " said.
Xishi tried to move on to see what kind of man he was holding right now, the man he was bound by fate with, and the man who made him feel this way of life.
However, the embrace grew stronger as Xishi began to move, leaving him unable to do anything about it.
" You want to run away? " ask King Xiali.
" How dare I? " reply Xishi.
" then? "
Xishi was silent, he was eager to ask this and knew the answer, but he was still very hesitant.
" You want to see me, huh? " cock King Xiali.
" A-can't it? " ask Xishi.
" It is possible, wait until you are twenty years old, when you truly belong to me you can look at me as much as you do" replied King Xiali.
" Hm... Why did you come? " ask Xishi.
" Can't 'do you? You went here and met a lot of handsome men, I'm not sure you're not interested in them" replied King Xiali.
" I'm not interested! " sangkal Xishi's.
" What about Liu Xingsheng? "
Xishi widened his eyes, his feelings were extremely shallow and impossible to conclude, especially if he said it was possible that King Xiali would actually kill Xingsheng.
" I don't like it. " muttered Xishi.
" You're not fooling me, are you? " the King of Xiali said.
" Really." reply Xishi.
King Xiali showed his smile, then kissed Xishi's neck and left a possession mark there.
" Thank you. "he said softly before finally disappearing.
