Encountering Han Fei on the Road (2)
"You mean... I won't betray any information about the Net organization? You might as well give up on that idea now!"
"Or rather... don't expect to get anything from me, including myself. Even if you get my body, you won't get my heart!"
"Or is it... something else?"
Ye Qingcang asked in return without turning his head.
Answer questions with questions.
It shows a complete lack of sincerity.
However, Startled Salamander is a straightforward person.
In response to Ye Qingcang's questions, which were perhaps more of a guess, he shook his head and denied it, saying, "Information about the Net is not unsellable, but the value of the information cannot exceed my current status. If I could exchange a trivial piece of information for the life of a Heaven Ranked Assassin from a powerful figure, even the current controller of the Net wouldn't hesitate to pay such a small price... As for my body, as a loser, I don't even have control over my own life and death, so there's no way I could keep it. It's simply a matter of whether you want to or not. Of course, I wouldn't mind using my beauty on you and then killing you when you're caught up in it and let your guard down. Although, based on my understanding, you're not that kind of person, and I don't have that opportunity... So, I can't think of anything you want from me. I can only deduce that you don't need anything from me, which is why I asked you."
"Okay... Congratulations, you're right."
"I don't need to get those things from you, but rest assured, you definitely have them."
"Everyone has it."
Why don't you take a guess?
Ye Qingcang snapped his fingers, turned around, and looked at Startled Salamander, who had her back to him.
Her back, as white as jade, is indeed very pleasing to the eye.
Unfortunately, compared to the overall picture, it is still a negligible scoring point.
A perfect score is 100.
This back deserves five points.
After all, a woman's charm is hardly reflected in this aspect.
Face.
waist.
chest.
Hips.
leg.
These are the areas that give the most charm.
At least most of the points come from here.
Of course, there are also those who have a hand fetish or foot fetish, but we won't include them here. At least if a 300-pound fat person is standing in front of you, even if their hands and feet are very beautiful, it will be difficult to get a high score.
In short, it's impossible to distract Ye Qingcang.
Although Startled Salamander hadn't considered this aspect either.
People who know they can't be tempted.
There's no need to strike a pose.
The training of assassins in the Net organization is very comprehensive. The first lesson is to tailor their approach to different people. Moreover, female assassins have to learn an extra lesson compared to male assassins. This lesson is called the art of charm, and they are taught to make the most of their charm.
Then, at the crucial moment, the assassination was carried out.
This is commonly known as the "honey trap".
It's not very useful, at least for a female assassin of Startled Salamander's caliber. If she can beat someone, she can just kill them with her sword. If she can't beat someone, she certainly won't lose her life because of her beauty.
This is a form of training that is prepared for any eventuality.
At least it won't leave female assassins in the embarrassing situation of "realizing they don't know enough when they need to use it."
"You want my loyalty?"
"Would I risk my life for you?"
"Betrayal of the Net?"
"I don't know... Am I right?"
After a moment of silence, Startled Salamander asked in return.
She could sense Ye Qingcang's gaze.
Just like she can sense that there is nothing wrong with her body.
However, she didn't care about any of that.
If you want to see it, then you can watch it.
If you don't want to watch, then don't watch.
Since I can't beat you, I'll just have to let you have your way.
It's worth mentioning that Startled Salamander's courage stems mainly from the fact that Ye Qingcang didn't kill her. The fact that she's still alive proves that she can negotiate with Ye Qingcang. Even if things go in the worst possible direction, the negotiations will at most break down. Because if Ye Qingcang didn't want to talk to her, he could have simply killed her with one strike, and there was no need to keep her alive until now.
Therefore, Startled Salamander is not afraid at all.
He didn't even have the thought of touching the sword.
He openly exposed his weaknesses to Ye Qingcang.
Holding Bamboo Hat.
I stroked the patterns on it.
"Yes and no..." Ye Qingcang shook his head, took a sip of milk tea, organized his thoughts, and then suddenly asked, "Within the Net Heaven), there's the saying of the Eight Swords of King Yue. They simultaneously possess the identities of Heaven Ranked Assassin and high-ranking members. You should know this, since you are the Sword Master Jing Ni among the Eight Swords of King Yue... Above the high-ranking members are the successive leaders of the Net Net. Their identities are quite mysterious, but considering they lead the most powerful assassin organization, it's not hard to understand why they remain unknown... In short, having relatively independent power, haven't you ever thought about taking a step further or gaining freedom?"
"You want to support me?"
Startled Salamander was unusually stunned for a moment.
However, regardless of whether it is true or not, she will refuse.
Therefore, without waiting for Ye Qingcang to explain.
She immediately shattered that illusion. "It's impossible to advance further. The Eight Swords of King Yue have given us an extremely high starting point, but they've also limited our identities. We mostly don't know each other. I don't know what the other sword masters are thinking, but as far as I know, all previous Sword Master Jing Ni have stopped at the level of Heaven Ranked Assassin and high-ranking members of the Net organization. The other sword masters seem to be maintaining this balance as well. And all the leaders of the Net so far, without exception, are people outside the Eight Swords of King Yue. Only the leaders know the identities of each of the Eight Swords of King Yue's sword masters... Therefore, advancing further is impossible. As for freedom... at least I don't think I'm restricted right now. In that case, how can you talk about freedom?"
The structure of the Net is very complex.
It was in the hands of Lü Buwei and the successive controllers of the Net.
It is a concept.
In the hands of Zhao Gao, the Chariot Official.
It's another concept.
In the former case, it's like the emperor and the feudal lords. The emperor is the controller of the Net, while the feudal lords are the wielders of the Eight Swords of King Yue. If the emperor issues an order, the feudal lords will definitely obey, whether they truly obey or not. It's absolutely impossible for them to go against the emperor. Otherwise, they can expect other obedient feudal lords to come and attack them. However, if the emperor doesn't issue an order, the feudal lords have autonomy within their territory and can command their soldiers at their own discretion.
Therefore, Startled Salamander has autonomy.
As for this assassination attempt on Wei Wuji...
It was an order issued by Lü Buwei, the leader of the Net organization.
As a vassal king, she had no choice but to obey.
As for the latter, apart from Yan Ri unscathed, the other Eight Swords of King Yue of the King of Yue had their power revoked. This was the kind of emperor who had completed the centralization of power, and the vassal kings were merely figureheads with no real power. They could be killed at will, and were no different from slaves.
Therefore, Sword Master Jing Ni.
That is, Tian Yan.
Things might not be going very well.
Subject to others.
But the current Sword Master Jing Ni is completely unrestrained.
Besides the tasks assigned by the leader of the Net organization.
She doesn't need to obey anyone's orders.
As long as she doesn't leave or betray the Net Net organization, no one will care what she does. This is also true in the original novel. If she doesn't leave the Net, Lü Buwei, the leader of the organization, won't issue any orders but will turn a blind eye. Tian Yan can still be born into this world. In short, having a child is not the reason for the Net to hunt down Startled Salamander. The reason is that Startled Salamander wants to withdraw.
