Surrounded by large pear trees, a unique three-story building stands among them.
"Miss, you're back. The master has just sent a message, asking you to..." A petite maid wearing a long green skirt hurriedly came up to greet her.
"I understand." Li Siye waved his hand, interrupting what the maid was about to say. "I just came over there, and someone has already told me. Abi, go make me a cup of macaroni tea." "Yes, slave, go now." Abi glanced at Siye in surprise, and then left in a hurry to prepare. After serving the lady for so many years, she knew that Siye was not good at drinking tea on weekdays, but now she suddenly ordered,
It is unprecedented.
Sitting in his usual seat, Li Siye suddenly felt very annoyed.
The requests made by the father and son turned out to be contradictory to each other. It was obvious that Sun Huo had an extraordinary secret. Now she, an originally unrelated outsider, was caught in the middle, and she was in a dilemma.
If it was just as the eldest brother said, it was just a cultivation to avoid interference, and it wouldn't even have to be hidden from her own father. She was also a little curious as to what kind of secret it was.
"Miss Fourth, the tea is ready." Suddenly hearing Abi's soft call, Li Siye came back from his thoughts and subconsciously took the tea cup.
Gently sipping the tea, a cool breath spreads from the mouth, and the whole person's mind instantly wakes up a lot.
In an instant, Li Siye thought of a key point. No matter what the secret was, if the father and son could be wary of each other, it seemed that there would be no good results in the end if he got involved like this.
"Fourth Miss, are you okay? Fourth Miss?" After seeing Li Siye taking the tea cup, his face had been uncertain. Abi, who was standing aside waiting for instructions, couldn't help but ask.
"Abi, please go down. I'll stay by myself for a while." Li Siye put the tea cup on the table, stood up and walked upstairs.
The sun sets and the moon rises, and soon it’s midnight.
Sun Huo, who had been lying down to rest, suddenly opened his eyes. Just now, he keenly heard the sound of slight footsteps, quickly approaching the house where he was currently staying.
But he still didn't make any more moves. He just turned slightly sideways and listened carefully.
Soon, he saw a long sword stretched out and gently pushed open the ajar door. Under the dim moonlight, a faint and slender figure appeared on the ground.
Who is this person? He has hid here, and he can be found so quickly. Is he planning to kill and silence him? Sun Huo was very confused.
As if observing and listening to the movement in the room, the figure stood there motionless.
Just when Sun Huo was getting a little impatient, a sudden change occurred.
"Swish, swish, swish" was a continuous sound that broke through the air, rapid and sharp. Five or six short arrows shot out from the window in an instant and were nailed to the bed, neatly lined up in a row.
Sun Huo broke out in a cold sweat. He never expected that the person who came to kill him would be so cautious. He first attracted his attention from the door, but in fact, he suddenly attacked the killer from the window with a crossbow. After a while, a man in black appeared at the door again and walked into the house step by step.
The man in black who appeared later was similar in size to the figure at the beginning, but the weapon he held was not a one-handed long sword, but a two-handed short sword.
The man in black walked very carefully and did not rush to the bed all at once. After entering the door, he took only three steps and suddenly stopped.
The next moment, the man in black raised his two-handed sword in front of him, and arrived in front of the bed in the blink of an eye. Then he slashed the sword with his right hand on the bed, and the quilt was instantly divided into two pieces.
"Cut!" A soft cry came from the black shadow. Then he turned around and was about to leave. Just when the black shadow was about to step out of the door, a long sigh suddenly came from behind.
"Why are you here to silence me?"
The man in black at the door was suddenly startled and turned around quickly. At this time, she discovered that there was a figure lying on the ground beside the bed.
It turned out that the target he wanted to assassinate did not sleep on the bed to rest, but slept under the bed. Now not only has the elimination failed, but his identity has even been exposed.
Pulling off his mask, Li Siye spoke calmly, "How did you know it was mine?"
Sun Huo slowly sat up, allowing his back to lean on him for more comfort, and breathed out softly, "Because of the fragrance on your body. I smelled it when we were driving together in the car last night, so as soon as you entered the house, I
I recognized it immediately. Although the smell is very light and cannot be smelled by ordinary people, it is very obvious to a cultivator like me."
Li Siye was startled when she heard this. She had never expected that her identity would be exposed through the fragrance. The ability of an immortal cultivator was far beyond her imagination.
The room suddenly fell into an awkward silence.
"Why are you so eager to take the risk and attack me? Even if you want to silence me, when you deliver the things tomorrow, it would be more concealed and more likely to win if you put poison in them." In the end, it was Sun Huo who broke the news first.
After waiting for a short while, Li Siye didn't answer, so Sun Huo continued talking to himself. "I am relatively easy to control while alive and weak, and I can exert my greatest value. On the contrary, if I die, I will have nothing."
It’s worth it. So what happened during the day that made you so impatient that you didn’t even care about your elder brother’s plan?”
After hearing what Sun Huo said, Li Siye sighed quietly. He raised his hands and put the swords back into the scabbards on his waist. He walked to the square table in the middle of the room and lit the oil lamp, and then sat face to face with Sun Huo.
Come down.
"Brother always said that you are brave and careful. It seems that you are not exaggerating. You can think of so much just from my mistake." Looking at Sun Huo's shining eyes, Li Siye felt as if he had been seen through.<
/p>
"That's right, tonight's assassination was my own idea. Because my eldest brother hid you from my father and entrusted me to hide you, but now my father ordered me to find you. So there must be something on your body that made them
The secret of heartbeat."
"Instead of watching the father and son fight for you in the future, it is better to let you disappear for real now, and I can get away from this matter." For some reason, Li Siye couldn't help but express his thoughts, and it seemed that he was in his heart.
There is still a glimmer of hope.
So that's it. Sun Huo was a little surprised by Si Ye's explanation, but it made him feel even more uneasy.
"So you don't know what they want from me?" After thinking about it, Sun Huo asked tentatively.
