Chapter 499

This question was actually asked on the spur of the moment after learning Su Xuan's identity.

In the battle of Daliang, Su Xuan became famous throughout the world. If the person who came to the Agricultural School today was Su Xuan, then it would not be a strange thing for the Agricultural School to have such an outcome, with all six hall masters falling.

After all, the act of slashing open the city of Daliang with a single sword strike was shocking to think about.

Lord Changping thought that revealing Su Xuan's identity would make Su Xuan a target for all the jianghu people resisting the Qin Guo, but he did not know that after learning that Su Xuan was responsible for that incident, most jianghu people felt nothing but fear toward Su Xuan.

After all, that kind of method was not something that a human could perform.

Crucially, this was not an exaggerated rumor, but a fact.

After the battle of Daliang ended, some people went to Daliang City to see for themselves. The broken city gate and the sword marks remaining there were enough to make one feel an extremely dense sword Qi just by taking a single look.

The sword Qi condensed and did not dissipate.

As it spread among the jianghu people, over time, that place actually became a holy land for sword arts, and some people really did comprehend remarkable sword arts from the sword Qi remaining at the Daliang city gate.

Because of this, the rumors about Su Xuan in the jianghu became increasingly outrageous.

In the mouths of many jianghu people, Su Xuan was no longer a human, but an existence akin to an immortal or a god.

After the battle of Daliang, Seeing Jing Ni had also taken her daughter to Daliang City and witnessed the traces left behind by that battle. As a former Heaven-grade first-class assassin of the Luo Wang, Seeing Jing Ni's strength was formidable, so she could feel Su Xuan's power even more than ordinary jianghu people.

Seeing Jing Ni had not been at the Agricultural School for long, but as a former Heaven-grade first-class assassin of the Luo Wang, she had her own set of intelligence-gathering capabilities. After arriving at the Agricultural School, she also knew that the Agricultural School was a staunch anti-Qin force.

The Sect Master of the Yin-Yang School annihilating the Agricultural School could be out of the Qin Guo's position, which was not difficult to understand.

Then, why did the other party want to show mercy to her?

Seeing Jing Ni considered herself to have no relations with the other party and had never met this Sect Master of the Yin-Yang School.

Even, she had never had any dealings with the Yin-Yang School.

The only thing that could barely count as a connection was that the Luo Wang, for which she once worked, was an assassin organization of the Qin Guo, and the Yin-Yang School was now working for the Qin Guo.

"What if I decided to spare your life after learning about your past?"

Su Xuan listened to Seeing Jing Ni's question and replied calmly.

"My past…" Seeing Jing Ni was silent for a while, "What do you want to do?"

Su Xuan was a truly ruthless person who viewed human life as grass. Whether it was the battle of Daliang where he killed many Wei soldiers, or this time when he annihilated the Agricultural School and ended the lives of thousands of Agricultural School members with four palm strikes, all were sufficient to demonstrate Su Xuan's ruthlessness.

Seeing Jing Ni did not believe that Su Xuan would feel pity because of her past; it could only be said that Su Xuan had other motives.

Su Xuan did not state his purpose directly, but said indifferently: "I know that after you killed many Luo Wang assassins and betrayed the Luo Wang, the Luo Wang never gave up on hunting you down, wanting to retrieve the sword in your hand. Over these years, you have taken your daughter and hidden everywhere in the world. Coming to the Agricultural School this time was merely to seek a place to settle down!"

"Now, the Agricultural School has been annihilated, and it has been proven that this place is not your place to settle down!"

Su Xuan spoke eloquently, stating the purpose of Seeing Jing Ni's arrival here.

The more Seeing Jing Ni listened, the heavier her heart became.

If Su Xuan knew her past and knew those things, it could still be attributed to knowing them through other channels, but those things he was saying now, she had never revealed to anyone.

Could it be that this Sect Master of the Yin-Yang School possessed mind-reading powers?

With the superhuman strength Su Xuan displayed, even if he really mastered mind-reading and could see through what others were thinking, it did not seem strange. On the contrary, this way, many things could be explained clearly. For example, Su Xuan once said that there were very few things he did not know; perhaps it was because of this mind-reading power.

Of course, these were all Seeing Jing Ni's own guesses.

While guessing, she did not speak rashly because Su Xuan had not finished speaking.

Sure enough, Su Xuan's tone shifted again: "I can give you a place to settle down, and I can also make the Luo Wang stop hunting you. This sword can also rightfully belong to you."

When he said this, his gaze fell on the long sword held in Seeing Jing Ni's hand.

0 ········Seeking flowers···· ····

Seeing Jing Ni was silent. Of course, she would not think that Su Xuan was lying; after all, Su Xuan's strength, identity, and status gave him no reason to lie.

Although the Luo Wang was terrifying, and she had been hiding from the Luo Wang for many years, this was only relative to her. For Su Xuan, the Luo Wang might not be that terrifying.

After all, he was too strong. In front of Su Xuan, she was like an ordinary person with no power to truss a chicken. Seeing Jing Ni believed that even if other Heaven-grade first-class assassins of the Luo Wang faced Su Xuan, the outcome would be the same.

Besides his powerful strength, Su Xuan's identity and status were also enough to make him regard the Luo Wang as nothing.

This time, when the Agricultural School was annihilated, she chose to act and tried to repay Tian Meng's kindness, but she could not do it. She had already done her best.

After the annihilation of the Agricultural School, she indeed needed to consider her next retreat.

Where should she take "Yan'er"!

Continue to wander the world?

With the ambition of the Qin Guo, it was afraid that it wanted to annihilate all the countries in the world. After the State of Chu and the State of Qi were also annihilated by the Qin Guo, the world would belong to the Qin Guo. By that time, the Luo Wang's influence would indirectly spread throughout the entire world. If she took this sword and her daughter, it would probably not be so easy to continue hiding from the Luo Wang's pursuit as before.

Su Xuan's words could be considered as giving her a choice.

Or rather, she actually had no other choice.

This time, Su Xuan did not kill her, which in itself could be considered as showing mercy. If she chose to refuse, given the ruthlessness Su Xuan had previously displayed, he would probably not mind killing her.

Previously, she had already acted to repay Tian Meng's kindness.
