Night.
After eleven o 'clock at night in Sacred Heart College, the lights in the dormitory area would be turned off. In the dark bedroom on the second floor, the Japanese girl was sitting on the bed, wearing only a pair of pajamas.
School had just started. Probably because of her nationality, the other three rooms in the dormitory were unoccupied. After the lights were turned off, it seemed even quieter.
Suddenly, she remembered what happened in the evening.
The reason she came to China was to avoid a series of troubles after her engagement with Tian Yu Zhengze. Secondly, she was curious about the mysterious and powerful power in Gu Jiaming's body. As for why she was curious, she couldn't figure it out.
In short, he was very strong. Even Tian Yu Zhengze felt threatened in front of him. His family was facing Pei Luojia's crisis, and there wasn't much he could do to help. Perhaps the only direction he could work towards was in China. He could acknowledge Pei Luojia as his teacher, or ask him for help.
Of course, it was impossible to do all of this in one go. Gu Jiaming was very clear about her background. He also expressed that he didn't want to have anything to do with her from the beginning. If she wanted to move him, she would have to do it slowly. This was something she had thought about a long time ago. Although she didn't know what she had to do to move a person.
However, in the afternoon, when she met Ye Lingjing, she said that her purpose in coming to China was to learn martial arts. Then, because of Lingjing's enthusiasm, the situation seemed to have become very bad.
He was angry. She could feel it.
Bits of starlight sprinkled into the room through the balcony window. It was as gentle as water.
Suddenly, a black shadow flashed past the windowsill, and she opened her eyes on the bed.
Was it him?
With a wave of her right hand, a pitch-black odachi appeared in her hand.
She didn't dare to be careless. Barefoot, she rushed out of the balcony. A shadow was rushing into the woods from the edge of the small square under the balcony.
Was it him, or Pei Luojia's people...
The Yuechi family's influence was limited to Japan, while Pei Luojia's assassins were spread all over the world. Although they weren't considered powerful in China, when she left home, she was prepared to be attacked. She had a pistol in her luggage, but now …
A trace of determination suddenly appeared on her cold and white porcelain face. She reached out and held onto the railing. Her body, which was only wearing pajamas, silently landed on the ground. Her bare feet stepped on the soft sand, and a moment later, she rushed into the small forest.
In the dark, bluish-grey shade of the trees, the starlight slipped through the gaps between the trees. In the distance, there were small paths for pedestrians and pavilions for resting. If it was a little earlier, groups of precocious couples would still be whispering to each other in a secluded place. But now, it was a little late. Even if it was their first time tasting the taste of sex, they would not stay here to continue doing it. After all, these students were from well-off families and would not lack the money to get a room in a big hotel.
She gathered all her energy, lowered her body, and moved in the forest. She held her mind and suppressed her breathing.
Then, a sound suddenly came from behind her.
The sharp edge of the katana reflected the starlight and slashed back like lightning. But halfway through, her wrist was firmly blocked by the person behind her. The person's other hand suddenly grabbed, as if he wanted to capture Kaoru Tsukiike. But in the next moment, her wrist that held the katana twisted like a snake. Her body drew a beautiful arc and disappeared from the spot.
Chiying Sen Maboroshi!
With a whoosh, the girl's body had already appeared beside the enemy. Her katana slashed towards the enemy's neck. The person's body flew back two steps and avoided the attack.
Then, the girl rushed forward without stopping for a moment.
In the darkness, she couldn't see the other person's appearance, but she was sure that the person who came was an adult and not Gu Jiaming.
As a result, her fighting spirit suddenly increased by several times. Wearing only her pajamas, her young and seductive body flashed a strange arc in the air. With a swoosh, the odachi once again slashed out.
In a moment, Chi-Ying Sen Huan, who was at the peak of her strength, caused the opponent to retreat again and again. However, after five consecutive slashes, her wrist was suddenly grabbed and her whole body was thrown out.
He landed on a big tree and rolled a few times on the ground. Then, he stopped in a half-kneeling position and raised his head.
The person opposite her seemed to have put away his hostility and slowly walked over: "Chi-Ying Sen Huan, you are indeed a member of Tokyo's Yuechi family.
What are you doing in Jianghai City? "
"You are …" Kaoru Tsukiike hesitated for a moment, "Yanhuang Awakening, Chen Guxia?"
"Yuechi family's intelligence work is not bad, or have you already used the power of Takama-ga-hara?"
Chen Guxia stood in front of her, "I don't have a good impression of Pei Luojia, so I won't do anything to you. You can rest assured, I just want to know, why did you suddenly come to Jianghai City?"
Kaoru Tsukiike stood up indifferently: "Cultivation."
"Why did you come to Jianghai City?"
Kaoru Tsukiike didn't answer this question. Chen Guxia waited for a moment and speculated, "Two years ago, you were in danger here. At that time, the boy called Gu Jiaming was with you. Gu Jiaming is usually cowardly, but in a life and death situation, he can erupt with great strength. You benefited from this and almost succeeded in escaping with him. Although you were still captured later, you have already seen the boy's strength. You want to absorb him into your Yuechi family?
Well, that's not right. You shouldn't value him so much. In that case, you have feelings for him … "
Chen Guxia naturally wouldn't directly link the massacre two years ago with Jiaming. He had always thought highly of himself. After some analysis, he probably thought that he had found the key to the matter. At that time, Kaoru Tsukiike was suffering. Jiaming stepped forward bravely, took hostages, and covered the two girls to escape. Although Kaoru Tsukiike's personality seemed cold, she was also at the age where love was first awakened. Later, it was said that the two of them stayed in the same ward. As young children, it was natural for feelings to gradually grow in their hearts.
With this thought in mind, he glanced at Kaoru Tsukiike's cold gaze and was even more certain of this inference.
"Oh, whether it's learning martial arts or traveling, as long as you don't do anything out of line, you are a guest from afar. Speaking of which, Pei Luojia may make a move on you, but it's also more likely that he will make a move on me. Since you are in Sacred Heart College, if anything happens, you can come to me for help.
Now, go back and sleep. "
As he spoke, he put his hands behind his back and gradually disappeared into the forest.
Kaoru Tsukiike stood there, sheathing her katana. No one knew what she was thinking.
After a while, she turned around and prepared to go back to the dormitory. After taking a few steps, she suddenly stopped.
An ordinary-looking boy dressed in black casual clothes was looking at her with a faint smile.
"Your performance … was very disappointing. Chen Guxia already suffered internal injuries, but you could only make six strikes in front of him."
As the boy spoke, he slowly walked in front of her. He stretched out his hand and gently caressed her white cheeks.
Although Kaoru Tsukiike didn't avoid this touch, her originally calm gaze couldn't help but tremble.
His palm caressed her face, gradually passing through her hair and ears. He gently pressed on the back of her neck, and just like that, her body leaned forward.
"The most disappointing thing is that you had a gun in your room, but you didn't bring it out when you met with an accident …"
"W-what is he trying to do …" The girl's entire body tensed up, and she allowed him to control her body to lean on his shoulder. It felt like the touch of a lover. She had imagined what he would do because of his anger in the evening, but she never imagined that it would be such a scene in front of her.
"You want to help your family fight against Pei Luojia, you want to become stronger, and you even want to drag me down with you. Apart from that time two years ago, have you really killed anyone before?
Have you … "
As the boy spoke, the pressure on the back of her neck suddenly became heavier, and the katana in her hand became lighter. Then, the cold blade of the katana pierced her lower abdomen, and blood spread out on her nightgown.
"Have you ever died!?"
