Chapter 45 Snow Woman: I have never seen such a shameless person.
"Jingni, Meng Jiang is still young. Doesn't she need such bloody training?"
Under a clear, cloudless sky.
Cao Yuan watched as Jing Ni forced three or four bandits and Xiao Mengjiang to fight, and couldn't help but speak up.
Li Wu laughed and said, "Bloody? In the Luo Net, this is just considered routine training."
Both she and Jingni grew to their current level after being stained with blood dozens of times.
In their view, this training method for Xiao Mengjiang was already very gentle.
Jing Ni's expression was cold, and her eyes never left Meng Jiang.
"I know you love her, but that doesn't mean you can let her become useless. She's already a second-rate expert; she needs to have that level of strength. Otherwise, even an ordinary assassin from the Luo Wang organization could take her life."
Deep down, she lacks a sense of security and constantly reminds herself that only her own strength is real, and that she must continuously become stronger, strong enough.
On the road.
Xiao Mengjiang's pretty face was just like Jing Ni's, and she held the Jing Ni sword in her hand, constantly drawing her sword.
After half a month of practice, under Jingni's guidance, her swordsmanship has begun to take shape.
However, she is still immature and hesitates a bit in battle, lacking the sharpness and decisiveness of Jing Ni.
Li Wu smiled gently, "Young master, we know she's your sister, not your biological sister, but closer than a biological sister. But can you protect her for a while, and can you protect her for a lifetime? She will eventually grow up and have her own life."
For no apparent reason, Cao Yuan thought of Honglian, the younger sister of Han Fei.
If Han Fei had helped her sister cultivate back then, with Honglian's talent, would she have had enough power to protect herself and slightly resist fate?
Cao Yuan gazed at the clear sky, put his hands behind his back, and consciously went to the side, no longer saying a word.
This was mainly Meng Jiang's own choice.
He will only offer suggestions to the people he loves, and will not impose his will on them.
Even if he could do it.
The Snow Woman, standing to the side, had been eavesdropping silently, listening intently to everything.
The more she listened, the more frightened, confused, and bewildered she became.
She didn't know or understand Li Wu.
But who is Jing Ni?
Who in the world of the Seven Kingdoms doesn't know about it? Who doesn't understand it?
Within the infamous Luo Wang organization, there was a renowned top-tier assassin.
Countless nobles and high-ranking officials died at her hands.
Cao Yuan found it somewhat amusing to look at the Snow Maiden, who remained calm and composed while suppressing her unease.
"Let's get acquainted. I'm Cao Yuan, Yuan as in water source, a locksmith from Linzi."
The snow woman's pretty face stiffened slightly.
"I am Yuki-onna, a dancer from the State of Zhao."
Cao Yuan smiled and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Xue Nu. It's our first meeting, and we've already encountered such a situation."
"Now, what do you think I should do?"
The Snow Woman's heart sank, and a strong sense of vigilance appeared in her sky-blue eyes.
really.
Those women were not Cao Yuan's family members at all.
They're in cahoots; they're all killers!
"Mr. Cao Yuan, what is the meaning of this?"
The Snow Woman straightened her long legs, staring warily at Cao Yuan, ready to flee at any moment.
But when she caught a glimpse of Jing Ni not far away, she felt completely uncertain.
First Class, Heavenly Rank.
These four simple words reveal that the woman is one of the most terrifying weapons in the Luo Wang network.
Even a monarch cannot ignore it.
Cao Yuan chuckled.
"Alright, I'm not kidding anymore."
Cao Yuan gestured, "How about we talk over there?"
The snow woman hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
The farther away she is from Jing Ni, the greater her chances of escaping.
"We still don't know what Miss Xue Nu is going to Yandu for?"
Seeing Cao Yuan's seemingly harmless expression, Xue Nu was secretly surprised and suspicious.
"I don't know, maybe I'll open a dance hall."
She was only invited by Prince Dan of Yan, who was also a disciple of the Mohist school, to seek refuge in Yandu, and had not yet decided what she wanted to do.
"Dance Pavilion... Do you have money?"
Cao Yuan glanced at the clean-cut Snow Maiden and smiled.
The Snow Woman remained silent.
Of course she has money, but she doesn't know where it is anymore.
Now all that's left are the dozen or so gold coins I carry with me.
She felt a pang of regret.
I regret not exchanging those gold coins for Iron Blood Alliance gold notes before leaving Handan, even if it meant losing some gold.
Cao Yuan chuckled and patted the money pouch at his waist, which jingled loudly.
"It's alright, I have money. I can sponsor the Snow Maiden to open a dance hall."
The snow woman narrowed her sky-blue eyes.
"What are the conditions?"
Cao Yuan cupped his hands and smiled, "Miss Xue Nu is truly intelligent and quick-witted."
"The conditions are simple: live with us while we reside in the capital of Yan. And don't divulge anything about us."
The snow woman raised an eyebrow and said, "Spying on me?"
Cao Yuan snapped his fingers. "No, it's to protect you."
The Snow Woman was speechless.
Has she just escaped one danger only to fall into another?
"I promise I won't tell anyone about your affairs..."
The Snow Woman moved closer to Cao Yuan.
"Please let me leave."
Cao Yuan took a light breath and easily caught the faint fragrance emanating from the Snow Maiden.
It tastes like daffodils.
"Is the Snow Maiden trying to seduce Cao?"
Cao Yuan was all smiles.
In the Snow Woman's eyes, his smile was smug and deserved a beating.
I really want to punch him...
The Snow Maiden suppressed her impulse and said calmly, "I came here at the invitation of Prince Dan of Yan. If you try to keep me here, you will definitely get into trouble."
"Of course, you can kill me now."
Cao Yuan shook his head.
"Why would I kill you? I'm not a serial killer."
"As for Prince Dan of Yan..."
Cao Yuan took out a small porcelain bottle from his bosom.
"Drink it, and in the capital of Yan, you can go wherever you want and do whatever you want; no one will stop you."
The snow woman frowned.
"poison?"
Cao Yuan shrugged, took Xue Nu's slender hand, and placed the small porcelain bottle in her slightly sweaty palm.
"Why ask so many questions? Just drink it."
The Snow Woman held the small porcelain bottle, pursed her pink lips, and hesitated for a long time.
Cao Yuan comforted him, "Don't worry, it'll be alright, you won't die."
"We have no grudges against each other, we just didn't want to get into too much trouble, so we resorted to this tactic."
Xue Nu glared at Cao Yuan, her phoenix eyes filled with murderous intent, secretly annoyed.
But she still drank it all in one gulp.
Having made up his mind, when he arrived in the capital of Yan, he would ask the Mohists to inquire about the whereabouts of the physician Duanmu Rong or Master Nian Duan.
As long as you can find a doctor, there is no poison that a doctor cannot cure.
Cao Yuan smiled with satisfaction, "Good boy."
Xue Nu ignored Cao Yuan, frowned, and carefully savored the poison in her mouth, feeling that something was amiss.
"This poison... it tastes like water?"
Cao Yuan replied matter-of-factly, "Poison is for poisoning people. If it had a smell, wouldn't people know they've been poisoned?"
He learned this move from the dance of separation.
The Snow Maiden stared at Cao Yuan, her beautiful face somewhat blank.
She didn't know if she was really poisoned.
But now she feels a tightness, a blockage, and a feeling of anger in her chest!
She had never seen such a shameless person!
