Chapter 32: People are always duplicitous

On the ninth day of April in Poyang, the air was gray, as if a thick layer of clouds were pressed on the eaves.

When I looked up, I could hardly see the sun, but I could only see some glimmer of light passing through the clouds.

It was drizzling on the street, not heavy, but fine and dense, perhaps it could not get wet people's clothes quickly.

People who are rushing on the road are not in a hurry, and whether they are carrying hats or straw raincoats or not, occasionally one or two young men and ladies will go out for a walk with paper umbrellas painted with flowers and birds.

Such seasons and weather are their favorite poetry and painting.

In the small inn, Ning Que'er stood by the window, looking at the news received in her hand, frowned.

Wang Wu sat at the table, seemingly knocking melon seeds without caring about it. Her mouth seemed to be able to keep going all day long as there was something to eat. Her white teeth were hidden under her thin light red lips, like a hamster.

Wang Wu naturally had doubts about Ning Queer's current identity and the source of the news in his hands, but Ning Queer didn't say it, so she didn't ask.

Maybe she has seen some things too much, and she doesn’t even feel that she needs to pay attention to them.

However, considering Ning Quer's current expression.

I think this news will not be any good news.

"A Wu." It must have been thought about it for a long time. Ning Que'er seemed to have made up some decision and raised her head and said to Wang Wu.

"I have something to tell you."

"Tell me." With the sound of rain outside the window, Wang Wu's voice seemed very leisurely and elegant.

"I have found out the identity of the person who follows us." Walking slowly to the table, Ning Que'er leaned over and sat down, poured himself a glass of cold white water.

"Hmm, then what?"

"They are from the Li family, and the Li family seems to be doing business for the court now." Ning Que'er did not keep it in hiding, but told Wang Wu directly what he learned about the information.

"This makes no sense." Frowning gently, Wang Wu grabbed the melon seeds and put them in front of him in confusion.

"Haven't the matter between us and the Li family have been negotiated?"

"Your matter has been negotiated, but this matter is not about you, but about me." He also took a handful of melon seeds and put them in his palm. While peeling it with his inner breath, Ning Que'er smiled helplessly and shook his head.

"What's the explanation?" Wang Wu was stunned for a moment, and then asked.

"There is nothing wrong with the people in the Jianghu. The Li family is indeed a sub-branch of the royal family. However, their ancestors have been involved in crimes, so they cannot call themselves the royal family. They can only live in the Jianghu and serve the royal family."

Ning Que'er's cultivation was almost entirely on a sword, and her internal energy seemed extremely sharp. She was naturally quite fast when she was used to peel melon seeds. She had already peeled a small pile as she spoke.

"And I, my identity, probably hasn't been told to you yet. Now, I'll talk about it roughly. My master, the person who took me away in the past. He was a survivor of the previous dynasty and a royal family. Twenty years ago, he initiated a gathering of righteousness and wanted to overthrow the Li family who stole the country. But for various reasons, a few years later, he failed. The people in all over the world were displaced countless times due to the war. So the two of us were probably in such a difficult situation back then."

As he was talking, Ning Que'er's melon seeds had been completely peeled. He did not eat them, but smiled and stretched out his hand and poured them all into Wang Wu's hands.

Maybe because of my childhood experience, Ning Queer always subconsciously takes care of Wang Wu, just like an older brother taking care of his sister.

"As for the strange disease I had back then, it was because I had a special physique and needed to practice a technique to save my life. And my master happened to know this martial arts, so he took me as a disciple and took me with him."

"The practice of saving life..." Wang Wu did not eat the melon seeds that Ning Queer gave her as soon as possible, but frowned and expressed his doubts.

Obviously, she had never heard of this statement.

"That's right." But Ning Que'er just nodded and explained: "This kind of exercise is still a way to save my life. If I stop practicing, my illness would recur and even worse."

"So Master and you are my saviors. You have given me a second life. In this life, no one will let you down."

As he said this, Ning Queer glanced at Wang Wu with a soft look.

Seeing Wang Wu numbed his back, subconsciously avoided his sight, and at the same time kicked Ning Que'er with his foot under the table, cursing speechlessly.

"Just talk, don't look around me."

(ps: Just in case someone asks, I'll repeat it here. The protagonist is single, you can watch it with confidence and laugh and cry.)

"Haha~ OK." I thought Wang Wu was shy, Ning Queer recalled the little foot that had just kicked her ankle, smiled and nodded, and continued.

"Anyway, since then, I have made up my mind to help Master realize his ambitions. And I went out alone to experience this time. He wanted me to decide whether I really want to follow him to resist the current dynasty based on what I saw and heard. He said that this is not a easy way, and I must have the determination to be an enemy of the world. But Ah Wu, don't worry, no matter who I am, I will not be an enemy of you."

"I..." Wang Wu was really tired of this earthy love words, and rolled his eyes helplessly: "What if I want to be an enemy of you, or even want to kill you?"

"Then I'll let you kill me." Ning Que'er replied without thinking.

"Hiss." He trembled with sucking in the air conditioner again. Wang Wu was so angry that he ate the melon seeds in his hand in one bite.

"Okay, I think you're just brain-related. In short, I don't care about other things and I'm too lazy to care about them. But I advise you to think about what your master wants to do."

"I know, but I'm actually trapped in it, right? I've actually made a decision since the first person I helped him kill. Now, the court has come to the door..."

With a relieved chuckling, Ning Que'er looked at Wang Wu and gradually calmed down her expression.

"So Awu, I don't want to involve you too. Now the Li family is just staring at me, and I have a way to get out. And it would be bad if you were also targeted by the court. After all, there is a Beggars' Sect behind you. You should leave the city first tomorrow. Let's not meet for the time being. When I go to the matter at hand, I will come to find you."

Ning Queer's attitude was very clear, and he didn't want to drag Wang Wu down.

Unfortunately, he did not tell Wang Wu that in the news he received, not only the Li family, but also the Tingyu Pavilion and a mysterious force were preparing to attack him this time.

Under the gaze and encirclement of so many people, he was indeed likely to escape, relying on the means set by his master in secret.

But it may not be possible, when those means are not enough.

That's why he told everything and wanted Wang Wu to leave first.

However, just as he knew Wang Wu, how could Wang Wu not understand him?

At present, Ning Quer's expression seemed exactly the same as that of Wang Wu.

He was seriously ill at that time, so he told her not to worry about him.

Now, he also told her to ignore him.

"Ning Que." After a moment, Wang Wu looked cold, turned his eyes toward the young man beside him.

A rare one, he asked in great seriousness.

"Do you really want me to leave?"

"Yes, if you stay, it will be a problem for me."

"Then, I'll leave..."

"tomorrow?"

"tomorrow."
