Nangong Tianlan was wearing a black robe and a black gauze hat on his head. Due to the dim light, his face could not be seen clearly.
At this moment, he stood still, waiting for the other party to speak.
He flicked his thumb and index finger at the candlestick behind him, and a dim candlelight illuminated Nangong Tianlan's back. Then, a childish voice sounded.
"Are you the old ghost? The most mysterious leader who appears and disappears at any time? I'm very curious. I wonder if this legendary old ghost is a man or a woman? Is he beautiful or ugly? Does he really have three heads and six arms and can fly and hide underground? I didn't expect that I was so lucky to have the leader of the old ghosts come in person!" The white and tender little hand held the other end of the spear, and a childish face was gradually exposed under the pale yellow candlelight.
Her tone was so indifferent, as if she was telling someone else's story. There were no emotional fluctuations, no ups and downs, and it was impossible to tell what she was feeling at the moment.
But if Nangong Tianlan turned around now, he would find that Ling'er's little head was always hanging down. There was a dim light in her purple eyes, and she was staring at the ground all the time. It seemed that she was unwilling to look up and unwilling to see the person in front of her.
She was too familiar with this figure. Even if he was wearing a veil, even if he was dressed in ancient costume, she could still recognize him at a glance—Brother Tian! No, that's not right, it should be Nangong Tianlan now!
She had long assumed, guessed, and thought about it, if Brother Tian was the 'old ghost'... But when the moment came to face it, she actually felt fear for the first time. For the first time, she hoped so strongly that she was blind!
Because then, she wouldn't have to face this fact! Because then, she wouldn't have to wander in a dilemma!
But God is numb. He will not change an established fact just because someone begs. So when you reach the end of the water, you can only face it.
Ling'er moved slowly and walked in front of Nangong Tianlan. She raised her head almost mechanically and looked at the overly familiar figure in front of her.
With a flick of the silver spear, the black hat fell off, and that familiar face came into view.
"Oh, Brother Tian, it's you. But why is it you..." If it was anyone else, she could easily accept it. But he - Nangong Tianlan, she really couldn't face it.
"Little girl, you have already guessed it, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have to test it so many times." His voice was as cold as ever, but for some reason, there was a subtle tremor. For the first time, he felt ashamed because of his identity as an 'old ghost'.
After five years of careful planning and careful planning, he successfully created another identity. No one knew that Tianze's war god, Nangong Tianlan, would have a relationship with the "old ghost" who would do anything to achieve his goal.
When he was Prince Xuan, he was righteous, noble, and inviolable; when he was the "old ghost", he was evil, mean, and dared not be violated. They are obviously two extreme personalities and completely different lives. Who would have thought that they would be the same person!
"Brother Tian, why is it you? Why has it to be you..." How she wished someone could tell her that this was just a dream, and when she opened her eyes again, the situation would be different.
"Little girl, it's me, this is the truth!" At this moment, he didn't know what else to say except this sentence. He seemed to be unable to understand where the sadness of this little girl came from
Did he really make her so sad because he was an old ghost? But why...
With a "bang", the silver spear against his throat fell to the ground, making a crisp sound.
She couldn't help it. She couldn't point a gun at a man with a face like Brother Tian. She wasn't a sentimental person. She could even say that she was ruthless. But Brother Tian was an exception in her life. She not only owed him a love, but also her life!
And tonight, if she guessed correctly, he took the risk to come here because he was worried about her. The 'old ghost' carefully concealed his identity for five years, but it was exposed because of a little girl like her. Invisibly, she owed him again.
Even though, the assassin who looked exactly like Bai Tian was sent by him, but he finally came...
In fact, she hoped that he would be more ruthless and not come. In this way, his guess would remain a guess. Now, how should she deal with it, how should she deal with it... Turning around, closing her eyes, friendship messed up her thoughts.
Looking at the silver spear that fell to the ground, Nangong Tianlan frowned, a hint of doubt lingering between his brows, "Are you... okay?"
As early as in the palace, he had seen the strange moves of this little girl. With her hands, it would be difficult for even Lan to assassinate her successfully. But the moment he heard that the target was her, he seemed to be possessed by a demon. He forgot to analyze and think. All caution and calmness went to the wind, and he fell into the trap.
At this moment, his identity had been revealed, and he even saw her standing in front of him with his own eyes, but the first thing he blurted out was this.
Haha~ It turned out to be a demon, a demon that had cast a spell on him!
A simple greeting once again hurt Ling'er's heart. How could he do this? How could he do this...
"I'm fine, but he is." Ling'er flicked her little hand, and Lan, who was acupunctured, immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then knelt in front of Nangong Tianlan.
"Your Majesty, I greet you!" Lan was so depressed. He had been in the martial arts world for several years, but he didn't expect to fall into the hands of a little girl tonight. It was embarrassing to tell others about it. He stabbed down with the sword, and at the moment when the tip of the sword touched the little girl's heart, a white little finger pressed on his acupuncture point.
Then he became a fish on the chopping board, at the mercy of others.
Unexpectedly, not only he failed, but their master also failed. Moreover, listening to their conversation, the master should know this little girl.
Lan was also confused at the moment, not knowing what was going on. There was something strange between their master and this little girl. He always felt... always felt like there was an affair. Was he overthinking it
They have followed the master for many years, and the master has never been interested in women. They know this very well. Not only that, the master also hates the opposite sex. But what is going on? Could it be that the master has a unique taste and likes... likes little girls... Ahem, this news is too explosive!
"You step back first!" Nangong Tianlan said directly without even looking at Lan. Although he was the one who issued the assassination order, he still took his anger out on Lan. So his tone at this moment was full of chill.
"Yes, my Lord." Lan also sensed the Lord's anger and felt extremely innocent. He was simply shot while lying down. What does it have to do with him... (To be continued)
