Xu Qing followed Lulunaka out of the room.
To Xu Qing, he didn't know if this was a good thing or a bad thing. If it was a good thing, it meant that Lulunaka's late night visit wasn't really because of that midnight affair. If that was really the case, Xu Qing might have been scared to death. If it was a bad thing, where was Lulunaka bringing him?
In this kind of place where there weren't many people, if someone died, it was very likely that everyone would know. Of course, it was also possible that no one knew.
Who would care about the whereabouts of an unfamiliar outsider? Who knew, they might have already left and not died at the bottom of the cliff.
Xu Qing felt that he was overthinking things, but Lulunaka easily made people feel uneasy.
She was a mysterious person, and it was completely impossible to understand what she was thinking. And the way she acted was also very suspicious.
Xu Qing stood in the corridor, looking at Lulunaka walking in front of him with light steps.
Lulunaka had never shown them anything other than happiness in front of them. Her figure was brimming with vitality, and no matter how one looked at her, she was a cute young lady … If it was just a first impression, it was indeed so.
It was also because of this that Lulunaka appeared so abnormal.
No one could always be happy, there would always be ups and downs, but Lulunaka's happiness seemed to always be maintained at a level, neither rising nor falling, as if it was carefully calculated.
In Xu Qing's eyes, this calmness didn't seem like something a human should have — but the young lady in front of him was indeed not a human. If she was just a human, there wouldn't be so much fog around her that Xu Qing couldn't see through her.
And Chen Baihu's attitude, he didn't lie to him and Tu Ju. He really held a humble attitude towards this young lady named Lulunaka, which made people even more suspicious.
The experience along the way made Xu Qing unable to treat Lulunaka as an ordinary person. Instead, he saw her as an old woman who had lived for a long time like Chen Baihu. To put it bluntly, she was an old monster like Chen Baihu.
These words couldn't be said out loud. No matter how bad Xu Qing's mouth was, he wouldn't say such rude words. But calling her an old granny, could it be considered respecting the elderly … This was also considered a form of courtesy, right?
"Where are you taking me?" Xu Qing could not help but ask.
Lulunaka took him for a walk under the corridor near the edge of the Dragon Peak. The wind and snow outside were boiling, and snowflakes would always hit his face.
This place was very quiet. Human voices were rare, but it was also very noisy. The sound of wind and snow was incessant, and the Snow Blades were like vicious dogs as they pounced and gnawed.
"It's not like a man to be impatient when dating a girl in the middle of the night," Lulunaka turned around and said to Xu Qing, "Are you afraid that I will do something bad to you?"
Lulunaka spread out her hands with a helpless look. "How can a young girl like me threaten a bloodthirsty executioner?"
"You flatter me. I'm not such a vicious person."
Xu Qing touched his chin. His stubble was a bit prickly. Maybe he should trim it tomorrow. But the knife at hand was really not very good. It was not very comfortable to shave it.
"Killing is not a good thing for you, right?"
"Because I said that you are an executioner?"
Lurunaka said, shaking her head. "You can't say that. Based on your impression of me, you shouldn't think that I'm similar to ordinary people."
Lulunaka's words were approved by Xu Qing. He nodded. "Could it be that for you, an executioner is a good person?"
"Why do we have to distinguish between good and bad?" Lulunaka asked.
Xu Qing was stunned. He did not expect Lulunaka to ask such a question.
After thinking for a while, he shook his head. "There must be a good and a bad person."
Lulunaka smiled. She approached Xu Qing and patted his chest. "Then why do you care about the nature of an executioner? For you, is it a good thing or a bad thing?"
Xu Qing was patted on the chest. He did not expect Lulunaka to use so much force. It was so heavy that it made his body shake a few times. He thought again and then said, "Up until now, it is still a good thing. But I can't say whether it will be a bad thing in the future."
He had been homeless since he was a child. He had suffered all kinds of hardships. He had learned a lot and graduated — although he did not even have a proper master. He had learned all of it by paying money or stealing it. When he was outside, he mostly did the work of killing.
It was not just killing people. He had also killed a lot of strange things. After all, it was killing demons and monsters. He did it with a clear conscience.
However, Xu Qing did not have the face to ask himself if he did not kill wrongly. He probably felt a little regretful. But if he stopped doing it because of this, he would not be able to have a clear conscience.
Someone had to do this kind of thing. Otherwise, how could they expect immortals to kill those demons and monsters that could not even touch their feet?
It was normal for people to die on the battlefield. But if people died in other places, it was not something to be happy about. After seeing so many people die, one would understand where the dead should appear and where they should not appear.
At the very least, they should not appear in the lives of those who lived stable lives. For these people, dying of old age or illness was enough.
"It is a good thing to have a legitimate name to earn money and not be treated as a demon," Xu Qing said. It was unknown whether he was saying this to Lulunaka or himself.
Lulunaka stared at Xu Qing for a while until Xu Qing felt uncomfortable. Then, she turned her head and continued walking.
Xu Qing, who did not know what Lulunaka was thinking, could only continue to follow Lulunaka.
After walking for an unknown period of time, Xu Qing began to suspect that Lulunaka was leading him in circles. Then, Lulunaka finally stopped.
She climbed onto the stone pillars and waved at Xu Qing. "It's time to change paths.
You don't have anything heavy on you, right? "
Xu Qing touched his pocket. There were only a few copper coins.
These copper coins were basically useless after leaving the Central Plains. They were more like a protective amulet, reminding him of how far he had come to this place.
As for the saber, he did not have it on him. The two scimitars did not belong to him. No matter how good he was at using them, he could not use them as his assistants. As for his big stick, Xu Qing felt that he probably could not get it back. Perhaps Lulunaka had thrown it away.
"I'm as light as a swallow. I have no problem walking on walls," Xu Qing replied.
"Walking on walls is fine, but walking on this shouldn't be a problem either, right?" Lulunaka said. Then, she leaped up and climbed up the eaves.
Xu Qing walked over and leaped up, directly reaching the top of the corridor.
Lulunaka had already continued climbing up. Above them was a flat cliff. He did not know where it led to.
The buildings here were so huge that it gave people the illusion that they had already reached the peak. Now, it seemed that there was an even higher place.
Lulunaka was already walking on the cliff. Her feet were pressed against it as she walked up step by step. "Follow me, or I won't wait for you."
