The courtyard was overgrown with weeds. Gu Chen was sitting at a stone table with a newly purchased tea set. He was making tea slowly, looking even more leisurely than she had before.
"The sun is going to go down soon, and as the night falls, you will lose your eyes forever, but you don't seem to be worried at all."
The killer frowned and slowly came to the stone table.
Gu Chen was so calm when he saw her coming. She naturally realized that something was wrong, but she didn't know what was wrong.
According to the agreement of the Taoist Spiritual Contract, I found the other party before sunset, and the other party's eyes were about to disappear. He shouldn't be so indifferent!
"Don't you still have a while? Don't worry, sit down and drink tea."
Gu Chen made tea and handed out a cup. The man's calm appearance made the killer look at him more and more.
She sat down, took a sip of tea, and found that the taste of the tea was particularly familiar.
"This tea was stolen from me?" She tasted the taste and her face darkened.
The amount of tea she usually drinks is rare, at least this is the only one in Peidu.
"Not bad." Gu Chen smiled.
When was it stolen?
The killer's heart sank, recalling the scenes of Gu Chen in the pawn shop.
This tea was expensive, so she had taken good care of it, but Gu Chen had been under her nose all along, so she had no idea when he stole her tea!
"Give you an hour, you don't want to hide it, so you run to buy this tea set?" She took a breath and looked at the tea set again, remembering what the hummingbird reported about Gu Chen's movements this hour.
The content conveyed by Hummingbird was not detailed enough, but combined with the tea, she realized that Gu Chen had stolen the tea leaves from her at the beginning. After stealing the tea leaves, he deliberately bought the tea set, and then sat here waiting for her!
Everything was premeditated, and he seemed to treat the agreement between the two parties as child's play!
"It's true that you can steal my tea leaves right under my nose, but have you forgotten what the contract is? It's already getting dark, and you're right in front of me. You lose."
Although he shouted that the other party had lost, the killer felt quite uneasy inside.
The setting sun in the distance is sinking little by little, the sunset has faded away, darkness has fallen on the world, and the lights of thousands of houses in Pedu are on.
Sunset, win, a pair of eyes!
The killer stared at Gu Chen, wanting to see what else he had to say and how he could maintain his composure.
However, Gu Chen, who had been in her sight all this time, suddenly disappeared, as if as the light receded from the earth, he no longer existed!
"How is it possible? Where has the person gone?"
The killer suddenly stood up, looking left and right, his face full of surprise and uncertainty.
The uneasiness in her heart was verified, but she didn't see any way out.
You must know that her hummingbird is her spy. Gu Chen has been under her surveillance since he left the pawn shop. When did he actually take action?
She knows that there are many stealth and thaumaturgy techniques in the world, but her hummingbirds have been specially trained, and ordinary tricks of substituting flowers and trees to change the weather cannot be hidden from them at all!
"Shadows exist because of light, and as a killer, you should be like a shadow."
Gu Chen's voice suddenly sounded in the killer's ears, and he actually emerged from the killer's shadow.
Bang!
With just a slight stroke of the knife, the bamboo hat worn by the killer was cut into two pieces, and the veil was shattered, falling down one after another.
The moon is closed and the flowers are shy, and the posture of a sinking fish and a falling wild goose caught Gu Chen's eyes, and even his graceful figure was hijacked by Gu Chen.
"You actually..."
The killer looked embarrassed and angry before he realized that the other party's true body had been hiding in his shadow. This was an extremely clever stealth technique!
However, no matter how brilliant the stealth technique is, aren't you afraid of being discovered by her if you do such a bold thing?
You know, if you are discovered, a pair of eyes will definitely be gone. How heavy the loss will be?
What a bold and confident man this is!
"I even took off the veil from your face, girl, are you still convinced?"
Gu Chen looked at the delicate face in front of him with a smile. He had to say that this face was quite pleasing to the eye.
As soon as these words came out, the killer became even more angry, but he was also convinced that he had lost.
She was touched behind her before, but she used the excuse that the other party's intention failed and she failed to reveal her veil, so she was not considered a loser.
But now the other party not only won the agreement beautifully, but also took off the veil, leaving him with no excuse and no room for rebuttal!
"If you win, I will recommend you to the cabinet as agreed." The beautiful female killer lost her temper and said in frustration.
At this point, she also guessed where Gu Chen probably moved his hands and feet, probably before leaving the pawn shop.
Only in this way can her actions be completely hidden from her hummingbirds.
Presumably, that astonishing murderous intent and those threatening words were just to divert his attention.
In the short period of time when he was shocked, the other party changed things, and it was the false clone who walked out of the pawn shop, while the real body was hidden in her shadow, perfectly realizing this dark-under-the-light strategy.
After receiving the promise, Gu Chen let go of the hand holding the female assassin's body and stepped back to distance herself.
The female killer breathed a sigh of relief and took a deep look at Gu Chen. "My name is Ye Mi, remember it."
Ye Mi, a very strange name, it is difficult not to remember it, Gu Chen nodded.
"I will inform the cabinet of your situation as soon as possible. It will take some time for the instructions to come out. You can go back first and wait for my news."
She said depressingly. Gu Chen, who had achieved his goal, had no objection and turned around to leave. He had no intention of interacting with Ye Mi who revealed his shocking true appearance.
Seeing him leaving so happily, Ye Mi suddenly remembered something and asked: "Wait a minute, could you tell me where I can find you?"
Normally, with her hummingbird around, it would not be easy to monitor Gu Chen's whereabouts. She didn't need to ask more questions, so she just asked Gu Chen to go back and wait for news.
But thinking about the other party's sneaking ability, she lost her confidence, so it was easier to ask directly.
"Just go to Tang Mansion." Gu Chen replied.
"But the Tang Mansion of Shuiwujun?" Ye Mi frowned slightly.
Gu Chen did not deny it, but Ye Mi's expression suddenly became strange. "What is your relationship with the Tang family?"
"I am the newly hired priest of the Tang family." Gu Chen replied. If Ye Mi was interested in investigating, he would be able to find out this identity immediately, and there is no need to hide it.
"worship?"
Ye Mi burst out laughing after hearing this, "If you are really a worshiper of the Tang family, I would like to advise you to leave the Tang family as soon as possible. The Tang family will be in great trouble soon."
"Oh?" Gu Chen narrowed his eyes, thoughtfully.
"Whether you listen or not is your business. If you are too involved with the Tang family and your life is lost before you join the Wuwang Pavilion, it cannot be said that I have not kept my word." Ye Mi said nonchalantly.
"Thanks for the reminder, girl."
Gu Chen replied, turned around and left, knowing enough not to ask any more questions.
He knew that before joining Wuwang Pavilion, the other party had no obligation to answer his questions, but if he formally joined Wuwang Pavilion, he would be qualified to handle Wuwang Pavilion's information without the other party, and the questions would naturally be answered.
