Su Xiaoxiao was puzzled. “Why does this need to happen?”
Ling Yun said, “It’s very dangerous for unowned sacrificial soldiers. They might do something irreversible after falling into a manic state. In order to prevent such a tragedy from happening to the greatest extent, the master of the sacrificial soldiers will find a new master for them before they die. If they don’t find one, the sacrificial soldiers will be buried with them.”
Su Xiaoxiao was stunned. “So cruel! Will the sacrificial soldiers be willing to die for burial?”
Ling Yun said seriously, “This is the rule of sacrificial soldiers.”
Su Xiaoxiao had never been a sacrificial soldier, so it was difficult for her to empathize with their loyalty. However, she thought of how Slave Xiu had died after his cultivation was sucked dry by MO Guiyuan; he did not resist at all. She roughly understood that sacrificial soldiers were different from ordinary experts.
Putting everything else aside, for example, yesterday, when Ghostfear tortured Xu Qing, Xu Qing honestly told him the whereabouts of the Gu Master. If it were a sacrificial soldier, he would most likely not speak even if he died.
“In that case, Ghostfear should know that he will definitely die, and as such, he didn’t acknowledge his family.”
If it was Su Xiaoxiao, she probably wouldn’t do this.
This was not to say that Ghostfear was wrong. Everyone had different views and made different choices.
If she was of Ghostfear, how could she know the pain in his heart?
Thinking of something, Su Xiaoxiao looked at Ling Yun again and said, “Are von sure Ghostfear can’t kill von?”
“This is an impossible mission, ” Ling Yun said calmly. “Unless I fall to my death in front of him.”
Su Xiaoxiao asked seriously, “Then… will you?”
Ling Yun was speechless.
When Su Xiaoxiao returned to the Wei family, Ghostfear was practicing their swordsmanship in the courtyard. The children went to a nearby garden to pick flowers and Ghostfear was at peace for a moment.
For some reason, the four of them felt that his place was more fun than Wei Liulang’s. They had to come over every day, and Ghostfear was about to ascend to the sky from the noise.
“Ghostfear.”
Su Xiaoxiao entered the courtyard and greeted him.
Ghostfear put away his sword and glanced at her indifferently. “Why are you here?”
Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “Ah, I have my own opinion about Ling Yun… Nalan Yun.”
Ghost Fear said mercilessly, “Your opinion is not important.” Uh… was he so direct?
It must be because she did not call him big brother just now.
Su Xiaoxiao took out the candied hawthorn hidden behind her. “Dahu said you like it.’
Ghostfear said, “I don’t like it.”
Su Xiaoxiao exposed him. “You finished everything from last time.”
Ghost Fear’s expression did not change. “I don’t like it.”
He was the same as Wei Ting.
Su Xiaoxiao was not surprised. She placed the candied hawthorn on the plate on the stone table. “Nalan Yun is the master of Dahu, Erhu, and Xiaohu’s master. If you kill him, the three of them will be sad.”
Ghostfear said expressionlessly, “What does it have to do with me?”
“I knew you would say that… ” Su Xiaoxiao muttered and continued, “Then have you ever thought that you can’t kill him? Don’t deny it. I saw it all last night. Neither of you can do anything to the other. The two of you are like the peak of different systems. Coincidentally, you reinforce and counter each other!”
Ghostfear frowned. “I don’t like that word.”
Su Xiaoxiao blinked. “Then… mutual love and killing?”
Ghostfear’s face darkened.
“Alright, alright. I was just joking.” Su Xiaoxiao placed her arms on the stone table and leaned closer to ask Ghostfear.
“What if you can’t kill Nalan Yun?
“I already know that an ownerless sacrificial soldier has to be buried with his master. If not for this mission, you would have long gone with your master. But have you ever thought about why your master arranged a mission for you that you will never be able to complete before he died? “Is there a possibility that your master wants you alive?”
Ghostfear was stunned.
Su Xiaoxiao said in her heart,” Hurry up and say yes, yes, yes! I’m so touched! Open your heart and welcome the bright and beautiful tomorrow! Although I’m just making it up!”
Ghostfear wiped the scabbard with a cloth and said firmly, “There’s no mission that Ghostfear can’t complete. I’ll definitely kill Nalan Yun.”
The corners of Su Xiaoxiao’s mouth twitched.
Old Madam Wei was right. The most loyal man in the Wei family was this one. Alright, she won’t persuade him anymore. He could do whatever he wanted!
“Xiaohu!” “Mother?”
“Play the suona!”
Ghostfear was speechless.
Leaving Ghostfear to face Xiaohu’s demonic music alone, Su Xiaoxiao returned to her courtyard.
About 15 minutes later, Su MO came to the residence.
Last time at the palace, the two of them found a key with the words Penglai engraved on Zhang Feng’s body. Over the past two days, Su MO had brought all the people he could mobilize and searched the capital under the pretext of capturing thieves. Finally, he found Zhang Feng’s belongings in a small inn in the south of the city..
