Chapter 79: Expectations (1)
Translator: 549690339
When song qingxiao mentioned that number five wanted to buy a whip, number six’s expression was calm. It seemed that she had already expected this situation.
In the beginning, song qingxiao had guessed that number six’s visit was similar to number Five’s. He might have come for the long whip.
However, the place where he brought her to dinner on the sixth was not right. There was an expert here.
To be able to hire such an expert, such a restaurant would not be ordinary.
That long whip was number 4, and was only the lowest grade weapon in the trial space. To a newbie, the price of exchanging for a whip might be difficult to bear, but as the number of trials increased, the 200 points required to exchange for a whip was not rare anymore.
At least for song qingxiao, the points she had left after the second trial were enough for her to exchange for such a long whip.
For a person like number six who could enter such a restaurant and had a good background, she might not care much about a whip.
Moreover, if she could find herself in reality, it did not mean that she could not find other trial-takers in reality. It was not easy for ordinary people to obtain weapons in the realm, but for some people, it was not very difficult.
This time, number six might not be interested in the long whip. Instead, he might be interested in other things.
Song Qing’s small eyes moved. What did she have that number six wanted?
Points?
She was actually very curious about the fact that she didn’t know if points could be snatched after killing someone outside of the trial space.
If number six wasn’t here for the points, then there was another possibility, and that was the ‘confrontation’ spell.
Number six had seen him use the ‘Lin’ word technique and was controlled by it. Song qingxiao was not the only one excited by the wondrous spell technique. It was reasonable for number six to be curious.
It was a pity that no matter which one number six was curious about, she couldn’t give him either.
Song qingxiao was already mentally prepared when she asked the question. However, number six pouted and said,”
“Don’t worry, what I want is not the whip.”
The water on the table was already boiling, and the boiling hot water made a gurgling sound as it washed over the lid of the teapot. Number six lifted the water to make tea. In the rising mist, her eyelids drooped, and her face looked distant and cold under the mist.
“I want to buy your dagger.”
If she had asked for the ‘Lin’ spell, points, or anything else, it would have been within song qingxiao’s expectations. However, she had made such a request, which stunned her.
This dagger meant a lot to song qingxiao. It was the weapon that had killed her and the key to entering the trial space. She wanted to use this dagger to find the person who had killed her.
When number six mentioned it, song qingxiao quickly came back to her senses and frowned.
“I’m not selling the dagger.”
Number six stopped pouring water for a moment, and then the sound of water flowing could be heard again. She seemed to be a little regretful for song qingxiao’s rejection. Song qingxiao noticed that number six’s hand shook a little, and two drops of hot water splashed on the table, but she wiped them away with her elbow.
“It’s a pity,”
She sighed, to be honest, I’ve been learning martial arts since I was a child. A dagger like this for close combat is really suitable for me.
Song qingxiao didn’t say anything, but she was even more confused by her words.
From number six’s words, it wasn’t difficult to glean some information from her. She had a deep background and had been practicing martial arts since she was young. Just these two factors alone would eliminate the majority of the people in the Empire.
For her to say such words for the dagger, it was clear that the dagger was indeed very important to her.
However, in the weapons in the realm, there was an option for daggers. As she had said, daggers for close combat were suitable for her, so she could exchange them at any time. There was no need for her to go out of her way to buy them.
When he killed number four, she was hiding in the dark. Since she saw him use the secret skill, she must have seen the dagger in his hand.
Number six came for the dagger without even mentioning points or secret skills. It was clear that the dagger was probably more important to her than the latter two.
Did she recognize the dagger, or did she know someone related to the dagger, or perhaps even related to her murderer?
At the thought of this, song qingxiao’s body tensed up. She clenched her hand that was hidden under the table. She pursed her lips, and the atmosphere became tense.
The steam coming out of the teapot’s mouth carried the fragrance of tea leaves, covering the two’s expressions. The breeze outside the room blew gently, and the beautifully woven half-drooping grass curtain was blown against the carved fence, making a ‘da da’ sound.
The light hanging down from above also swayed gently in the wind. As the light moved, the two figures were pulled left and right.
Just as she was feeling awkward, footsteps came from outside. The person delivering the food had arrived.
The appearance of the people in the restaurant broke the silence. Song qingxiao was full of doubts during the meal. During the meal, No. 6 did not mention the dagger again. Instead, he buried his head in the meal quietly, as if he had never asked to buy the dagger from song qingxiao.
After the meal, when the two came out, a black car was parked behind the restaurant. The old man they saw at the guard Station during the day was standing by the car waiting.
Number six looked at the scene and then at song qingxiao. He seemed a little apologetic,”
“I’m really sorry. The servant is worried and has come to pick you up in advance. He can’t send you back.”
“It’s fine.”
Song qingxiao shook her head. The appearance of the 5th and the 6th meant that her peaceful life was gone. She had a feeling that something bad might happen tonight. After experiencing life and death, she was always sensitive to such things.
Hearing her words, number six carefully observed her expression, but he couldn’t find any clues from her face, so he finally gave up.
The old man looked at song qingxiao and opened the door for her. Number six reached out her right hand and pressed on the corner of her dress. She suddenly turned her head and said meaningfully,”
“Then be careful on your way back.”
Song Qing smiled and nodded,”
“I’ve always been very careful.”
Hearing her words, number six let out a crisp laugh and got into the car with the help of the old man.
The old man followed him into the car. After the door was closed, the driver in the front seat started the car. Number six sat in the car and looked out through the special glass window.
Song qingxiao was still standing at the entrance of the restaurant. Under the light, her back was elongated and blended in with the reflection of the surrounding buildings. There was a strange sense of harmony with the cold night scene.
She did not have a bright and moving appearance, but for some reason, the longer he spent time with her, the harder it was to forget her appearance.
Number six had seen a lot of beautiful and outstanding women, but she had rarely seen someone as special as song qingxiao.
She thought of song qingxiao’s eyes. They were as calm as the surface of water, but there was an undercurrent that could hurt people.
“Do you think she’s noticed?”
The old man who had not spoken all this time also followed number six’s gaze and looked outside. Number six brushed his hair, did you notice? what about it? H
She invited song qingxiao to dinner tonight and didn’t give her a chance to refuse. She should know that she had found out about her life, where she lived, where she worked, and knew that she had a mother. It didn’t matter if she came or not.
“If she escapes, will she bear a grudge against you in the future?”
When the old man said this, his tone sank.
he’s a master with great potential. If such a person escapes, he might take revenge on you in the future.
He had met song qingxiao today. When he thought of those eyes, he felt uneasy for some reason.
His gaze fell on number six’s injured shoulder.
you once said that this person has deep thoughts, schemes, and talent…
don’t worry,” number six shook her head firmly and looked out of the window. The car had already driven far away, and after making a turn, she could no longer see song qingxiao. However, she could still feel her presence. That feeling made number six a little uncomfortable. She frowned and said,”
“The Chu clan won’t fail..”
