Chapter 99 - How To Be Indifferent
There were very few things in the world that could make Ning Bi-Luo feel shocked to this extent.
Yet what happened at that moment had really astonished him to an unprecedented degree.
“What are you talking about… This is my room. What else can it be if not my home?” Ye Xiao showed his back to him while carefully removing the disguise on his face.
There was no need for him to wear a disguise now, so he decided to show some sincerity.
“I see. It turns out you are Ye Nan-Tian! The great general! No wonder there has been no one who knows about your background. It turns out you are from the higher realm and you are here to escape your troubles! You are so weak now. Is it because you are suffering some illness?”
Ning Bi-Luo looked at Ye Xiao’s back. He was enlightened and said, “Hmm… Aren’t you supposed to stay in the north? Why are you here…”
“Now I know why you saved me. You knew me for a long time…”
Ye Xiao felt funny and he turned around showing Ning Bi-Luo a big smile, “I am not the General Ye.”
At the moment, he was wearing his true face.
His handsome face which was a bit boyish was revealed to Ning Bi-Luo.
Ning Bi-Luo was astonished when he saw his boyish look!
[Damn it! I made a wrong guess again?]
“You… You, you, you…” Ning Bi-Luo opened his mouth and looked at the face which belonged to a boy who was younger than 18. At that moment, he felt his brain exploding.
That was a feeling of ‘the whole world went wrong’ in his brain.
Ning Bi-Luo thought that the Purple Lotus Master was the great General Ye Nan-Tian. That conclusion could perfectly explain every question in his mind. However, when Ye Xiao’s true face was revealed to him, those questions in his mind returned once again!
His brain was blank for a long while.
Ye Xiao gave him a big smile, “What? Is it really that surprising?”
Now he had clearly seen the No.1 assassin’s face.
He was slim; he was neither tall nor short, only in average height, a little bit shorter than Ye Xiao himself. He was not handsome, but not ugly either.
His eyes looked like there was an ocean in them; they were sharp like swords.
He would be absolutely inconspicuous amongst a crowd. He truly had the first quality to be an assassin - inconspicuousness. However, when such a man burst out, he would be shining like a star. He would shock the whole world within a few seconds!
Yet it seemed that he was not very up to standards at the moment…
Because right now… he was looking at Ye Xiao’s face with his mouth trembling. After a long while, he had finally pulled himself together and sat on the chair dispiritedly. He spoke weakly, “Please tell me the truth. Is the man who have saved me twice really you? Isn’t he someone else?”
Ye Xiao laughed, “What? You have a problem with it? Do you think I need to lie to you about it?”
“It turns out… Twice, you have only shown me your disguised face… There was only one truth. You are weak.” Ning Bi-Luo’s appearance was quite funny at the moment. His expression was changing continuously.
Ye Xiao was bland. He didn’t reply, but only collected the thoughts in his mind, [Screw you. I have saved you twice. You have some words to say. That’s fine. But the last sentence was truly unnecessary!
What do you mean… ‘weak’!]
Ning Bi-Luo was lost in his thoughts. He finally sighed and then spoke again, “I understand… I understand why you want to recruit me… You are so weak at the moment, so you definitely need a man like me. It is indeed rather difficult to protect yourself in the capital during such a miserable time, since you are weak.”
Ye Xiao spoke blandly, “What a pity. You won’t serve anybody.”
He was a bit upset, [This guy… is truly not good at talking. He keeps mentioning something he shouldn’t. I am weak indeed, but that’s not his business. Does he really need to mention it again and again?]
Ning Bi-Luo lowered his head and thought. After a while, he said, “I am sorry. Even though you have saved me twice and that made me owe you two lives… When I think about bowing in front of others and waiting for orders… I feel terrible and frustrated. So…”
Ye Xiao understood him. He nodded. He had already thought about it.
The reason why Ning Bi-Luo could become the No.1 assassin in the world is his pride. So Ye Xiao said, “In fact, you don’t need to feel vexatious. I never want to force you into anything.”
Ning Bi-Luo understood what it meant. If he hadn’t followed Ye Xiao, he wouldn’t need to be vexatious like this.
He was suffering from his own actions, wasn’t he?
“But, how can I pay you back?” Ning Bi-Luo asked embarrassedly.
“Heh heh. Have I ever mentioned anything… about paying me back?” Ye Xiao smiled blandly, “You have your faith to insist. You have your path to walk on. And I have mine. We are the same kind. I understand you.”
“So, whatever you think you should do, just do it.” Ye Xiao said peacefully, “Don’t care about anything between you and me. They are nothing but turns in life.”
“But I do care. How can I not?” Ning Bi-Luo smiled bitterly.
Ye Xiao was speechless.
