Chapter 53 Timing
At this moment, the small boat that had been flowing downstream also stopped.
The bow of the boat was crossed by the grass on the shallow water shore and stopped there.
In the drizzle, Pan Ruoye, who had been quietly staying in the cabin of the boat, walked out and walked to the stern, waiting for the arrival of his boat.
The river surface, which was filled with a faint mist, had a hazy and dreamy color, making Pan Ruoye, wearing light yellow clothes, look like a fairy in the water as the legendary water.
The yellow-robed practitioner standing on the bow of the boat drifting upstream was tall and straight. If the man and woman on the two gradually approaching boats were scattered with the mist at this time, they were painted by the painter - Xiaoshuo -, it would probably make people feel like a couple who had been reunited after a long time.
However, the two people who were so calm on the bow of the boat knew that they had officially met today, and only one of them could leave here alive.
"Actually, I don't like killing people, and I always feel that killing people requires some emotions. If it is not hatred, it will make the other party unhappy, or it will be abominable to the other party, which makes people feel disgusted at first sight."
The boat of the yellow-robed practitioner slowly settled in the middle of the water. His frown slowly loosened, looking at Pan Ruoye, as if he was an acquaintance, without any opening remarks, and said slowly, "When I first started practicing when I was young, it was always difficult for me to understand whether it was reading story books or some things recorded in classics. Both parties who must separate life and death seemed to like to say nonsense, but when I became older and started to really kill people, I began to understand... Because killing people is not a pleasure after all, the real meaning of dialogue is to relieve this unpleasant mood, especially when facing an opponent who had never encountered before, a complete stranger, he would kill him when he encountered it, and then facing a cold corpse, it was really like a chewing wax feeling, inexplicably empty, lonely and cold, so what do you say?"
After saying this, the yellow-robed practitioner bowed to Pan Ruoye and added: "I'm in Zheng Jingcheng."
"I know who you are."
Pan Ruoye looked at the yellow-robed cultivator and said as if he was looking at an acquaintance: "The best assassin in Jiaodong County, one of the four cultivators in Jiaodong County that Zheng Xiu feared the most. When the fleet of the Qin Dynasty opened up overseas waterways, many powerful cultivators on those overseas islands died in your assassination. If you really talk about military merits, your military merits will not belong to Liang Lian. You are the most cautious in your actions and do not ignore the possibility of hindering your actions. You have been following me before, and until now, saying these words to me are all because you don't want any shadow to affect your actions."
"You're very honest."
Zheng Jingcheng pursed his lips and continued, "It is because you know the queen too much and our Jiaodong County too much that you rank second on the list of people who must die. But I don't understand, you clearly know my intention, why don't you look for the opportunity to take the lead in the days I have followed you? With your cultivation level, it is impossible not to find an opportunity to gain an advantage."
Pan Ruoye didn't reply for a long time. When she spoke again, her expression was slightly cold, "Because I was thinking."
Zheng Jingcheng asked naturally: "What are you thinking about?"
"I'm thinking about what if I had a position between Zheng Xiu and I were in such a situation, what would I do if I were Zheng Xiu?" Pan Ruoye said coldly: "I figured it out. If I had a clear conscience, regardless of whether the other party believed it or not, I would definitely try to explain it. However, I did not wait for the person she sent to explain, but waited for the person who came to kill me."
"So I don't take the initiative first, or I can say I'm waiting, waiting to see if she will try to do something to stop you from killing me." Pan Ruoye sneered, looking at the place where Shin Xuan and Zheng Bainiao had fought before, paused, and then continued: "The result was that the killing game had begun, but I didn't wait for any explanation from her. This only shows that some of my guesses are correct. She knows that the real facts cannot be concealed, so she can only use your hands to get rid of me."
Zheng Jingcheng listened carefully to her words, his expression did not change much, and even had a hint of sympathy, "Your guess should be correct."
"If you want to say more to me, your emotions are fluctuating. Obviously, your assassination against someone in Changling City failed. But even though you have said so much to me now and have reaffirmed that I have no way out, I am afraid that the conversation with me will not be good for your actions, but will affect your emotions and confidence more." Pan Ruoye looked at the most cautious Jiaodong County practitioner and sneered: "Because Jiaodong County practitioners like you will always lack something compared to us."
Zheng Jingcheng's brows jumped, and he said in a deep voice: "What?"
Pan Ruoye looked at him and said slowly: "Before Zheng Xiu and I met for the first time. Before I took me into Changling, I was in a mountain town outside Bashan. When the army was fighting with Bashan Sword Field, a horse thief fled to our village, and then took the opportunity to loot several mountain towns around us. Almost all the adults in the mountain town were killed. Only many small-sized children could hide in some hidden corners to survive. Among those surviving children, I was also one of the thinnest. In order to compete for some of the only food, these children also became wolves and killed each other, but I was the one who survived in the end."
"That's a coincidence. When did the palace maids under her appear badly? Why did it happen when we were fighting each other until I was alone?" Pan Ruoye smiled, "Many of your Jiaodong County practitioners also have this kind of practice method, but there is the most essential difference between you and us. That is, from the beginning of your practice, you knew that you would encounter such a thing. You have a long time to fear, overcome fear, and prepare for it. But we are different... We suddenly encounter such a thing, and we are not prepared for such a desperate situation. So you do not have the innate courage of ours. The wolf raised by the dog group is different from the natural wolf king."
Zheng Jingcheng frowned.
But Pan Ruoye did not give him time to speak, and said directly, "So you want to choose the most suitable time to erase my momentum, but the more you encounter a desperate situation, it can stimulate my sharpness. The most important thing is that I am still thinking about some of the sword powers on the Sword Sutra these days."
Zheng Jingcheng's face suddenly froze.
Pan Ruoye looked at him and said heavily: "I am comprehending some of the sword postures on King Chen's Sword Sutra. Now I have almost thought about it."
"So my conversations with me will not eliminate some of your bad emotions, but will only make you feel less confident."
