"What's the point of participating in a temple event that is either a human or a human." Although Xu Zhen said this out loud, he was still a bit happy in his heart.

"Tsk, one look and you can tell that you're the kind of person who knows how to stay at home all day and never go out to meet people. Today, I'll let you experience just how happy it is to be able to communicate with others."

They arrived at the temple fair. The entire street was filled with people. All kinds of lanterns were hung all over the street. All kinds of shops were on both sides of the street. Xu Zhen had never seen anything like this.

"How is it, the temple fair isn't bad, right?" The girl spread out Xu Zhen's arms and ran towards the temple fair. Xu Zhen was unfamiliar with this place, so he could only follow behind the girl.

"Wow, this mask is so cute ~" The girl stopped in front of a stall selling masks. In her hand was a pig mask.

"What's cute about pigs?" Xu Zhen couldn't understand.

"Boss, I want this." The girl rolled her eyes at Xu Zhen and bought the mask. Following that, behind the girl, Xu Zhen strolled through the entire temple fair. It was clearly a leisure activity, but it made Xu Zhen feel more tired than killing someone. Yet, this girl before him was still full of energy. Logically speaking, her physical strength should not be lower than that of an ordinary girl, but why didn't the girl show any signs of exhaustion at all?

"Since we're all done browsing, can we go back now?" Not only did Xu Zhen, who originally wanted to come out and relieve his exhausted nerves, not relax, he became even more tired. Now, he only wanted to return to the small place that belonged only to him, leisurely read two books, then sleep, and get up the next day to take care of his potted plants.

"Mm … there's still one more place. Once we get there, we'll go back." the girl said.

"Is there anything else …?"

"Let's go, let's go." The girl pulled Xu Zhen along as she left, accidentally knocking into him. "Ah … I'm sorry." The girl immediately turned around to apologize.

"You are f * cking blind." It was a man who was hit, and Xu Zhen knew that this man was the son of the prime minister. In the past, several tasks had been to offend this man, and the prime minister was the emperor's favorite and the father of his favorite concubine. In the end, those people had gone against this man — or rather, they had stopped him from teasing women or bullying the common people on the street — and ended up in the emperor's temple. As he spoke, he reached out to touch the girl's face.

"What are you doing?!" The girl hit the man's hand away, "Didn't I already apologize!"

"Yo, the girl is quite fierce! This grandpa likes it! " After saying that, he was about to forcefully take the girl away.

"What are you doing!" The girl resisted desperately.

"Let her go." A hand suddenly grabbed the man's arm as he reached for the girl. "Then get out of here with your men." The voice was cold, and there was no hint of emotion in it.

"What kind of f * cking bird are you? Do you know who I am? "Hurry up and let go of your pig hands, and get the hell out of here. I better be careful not to kill you!" However, that hand didn't have the slightest intention of letting go. Instead, it became tighter and tighter, causing the man to scream out in pain. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" What the fuck are you guys still looking at! "Hurry up and f * cking attack!" The man motioned for his men to make their move. Only then did the group of people react and prepare to go up and fight Xu Zhen together. With just one glance, an ice-cold aura instantly spread throughout the bodies of those who were being targeted. That was a bone-chilling aura, and the fear that was emitted from the bottom of their hearts caused them to not dare to act rashly.

"I'll give you one more chance. Scram!" It was still the same cold words, without a trace of emotion. Xu Zhen let go of the arm that he was tightly grasping. The man was also frightened by Xu Zhen. He quickly led his men and ran away.

"Just you wait, I'll kill you sooner or later!" It was the universal line of the defeated dog.

Watching her leaving, the girl smiled again. "You saved me once more. Hurry, let's go. If we don't leave soon, it'll be too late." She pulled up Xu Zhen's arm again and ran forward. As he watched the girl's back, Xu Zhen actually felt a bit of comfort in his heart. When did he become so fond of helping others? Xu Zhen himself didn't know either. However, he was worried again. He knew that the man would not stop there. There was also another matter that affected Xu Zhen's heart. It was this time that he truly had the desire to kill that made those people feel fear precisely because of Xu Zhen's killing intent. He hadn't had such a strong killing intent in a long time. Even Xu Zhen himself wasn't clear about this. Ever since he had gotten used to killing people, Xu Zhen no longer had the desire to kill, and this time for the sake of this girl that he had only met twice.

"Ah ~ We've finally made it ~" The girl brought Xu Zhen to a hill that was almost empty. In the distance, fireworks were started. "Did you know? "This is the best place to see fireworks. There are very few people here, so I can see it clearly," the girl said complacently. At this moment, however, Xu Zhen was quietly staring at the girl's face. This smile was as warm as the sun, and it was undoubtedly an addictive poison to a creature like Xu Zhen who lived in the dark all year long. He was like a moth, the closer he got, the harder it was for him to break free.

"What's wrong?" The girl noticed that Xu Zhen was staring at her. "Why are you looking at me?" I know I'm good-looking, but now I should look at the fireworks. "

Xu Zhen suddenly used both hands to grab onto the girl's shoulders. The girl was also shocked, and the air seemed to freeze in that instant. A brilliant firework bloomed in the air.

"What did you just say?" Due to the loud sound of fireworks, the girl only saw Xu Zhen's mouth move, but she didn't hear him clearly.

"I said, I'm going back!"

Just like yesterday, Xu Zhen still sent the girl to the side of the house. The house that the girl lived in seemed familiar to Xu Zhen.

"Still here? See you then?" The girl said with a smile.

"Mm, goodbye."

"Ah, that's right. I won't tell you, but you don't know how to ask for his name." Halfway there, the girl suddenly turned her head around. Only then did Xu Zhen realize that he still didn't know the girl's name, "My name is Meng Qin ~ Do you remember?"

"Ah … I am Xu Zhen."

"Alright, I got it ~"

The next day, the girl came to find Xu Zhen again. Needless to say, it was for that reason again, but Xu Zhen had agreed with knowledge yesterday. In the next few weeks, Meng Qin came back almost every day to find Xu Zhen and take him around to play. Although Xu Zhen said he wouldn't, he still followed her everywhere every time. Xu Zhen knew that he was slowly changing, and that his sword might also be slowly being corroded. He didn't know if he would still be able to accomplish his mission the next time he accepted another mission. He didn't know if he was still the most trustworthy killer in the Silver Wolf Army right now, but he was willing to change it, if it was for this girl. Knowing that he knew the identity of the girl.

That day, when he was chatting with the girl, he found out that the girl's father was also an official in the imperial court. Although it was a casual job, and not too big, if he got so close to a member of the official's family, then when the emperor ordered the murder of this family in the future, he didn't know if he could do anything about it. In the end, he decided that in the future, he would have as little contact with this girl as possible. This girl was not a person of this world, and Xu Zhen did not know whether or not this girl would feel disgust for him after knowing his identity, but if that was the case, then he might as well let go of her hand first. After all, despair would hurt more after he had hope.

"So, goodbye?" As usual, Meng Qin bid Xu Zhen farewell.

"…" Xu Zhen hesitated.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I'll take my leave now." Xu Zhen didn't say goodbye this time.

For the next few days, Xu Zhen locked himself in his house. Every day, besides sleeping, he was in a daze as his mind was preoccupied with Meng Qin's matter. He didn't have the mood to take care of his potted plants or read books. Although there were several times when he wanted to go see Meng Qin, he managed to restrain himself. For my own good, but also for hers. Xu Zhen used this reason to convince himself that in the past few days, he had thought of all sorts of reasons to convince himself to leave her, such as the age difference being too great, not being in the same world, or having incompatible personalities, etc., but Xu Zhen discovered that the more he thought about it, the more he wanted to see her. Why, after being cold for so many years, would her emotionless self be changed so much by that girl in just a few short weeks?

It had been five days since their last meeting. Even if the girl from two days ago had come to wait for him, he should have given up now. If he could just part ways here, then never see her again. This was the first time in Xu Zhen's life that he had made a wish to the heavens. However, it was still that familiar alley. It was still that familiar figure leaning against the wall.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" The figure leaned towards Xu Zhen, "You're finally out!" You know, I've been waiting here for five days! "I don't care. Since it's so late today, then tomorrow, you'll have to play with me all day!" The girl pouted, looking extremely dissatisfied and unhappy.

Seeing this familiar figure still waiting for him at his usual place, Xu Zhen's heart was filled with joy, but he had to stay away from her.

"Miss Meng, I have never promised you that I would see you again."

"Mm … I just want to see you. I want to play with you, is that not okay?" "I don't care. I've already wasted so many days of my time, so I have to play with you tomorrow!" Xu Zhen couldn't force her and could only agree. Tell me everything tomorrow. Xu Zhen thought in his heart.

On the second day, when he saw Meng Qin, he suppressed the words that were about to escape his mouth. Now was not the time. Xu Zhen had always been finding excuses for himself. However, Xu Zhen's words that they should not meet again in the future hadn't been spoken until the day they parted. He'd even made a promise to meet again the next day. He had really become weak. He couldn't even utter a single word. Could it be that this was harder than killing someone? Xu Zhen mocked himself.

A few more weeks. Xu Zhen had become more and more cheerful in these few weeks. His former self had vanished without a trace. If he really wanted to take her to the countryside, the two of them would have to spend the rest of their days in various fields. These thoughts had always surfaced in Xu Zhen's mind recently, but he hadn't had the courage to speak them out.

"Do you know?" Just when they were about to part today, Meng Qin suddenly said that she had something important to discuss. Xu Zhen also noticed that Meng Qin's face was missing its usual immaturity, and replacing it was a serious expression that Xu Zhen had never seen before. "Actually, I already knew your identity: you're the most prideful member of the Emperor's assassination team, Silver Wolf. Right? " Xu Zhen found it a bit hard to keep up with the sudden question. "You don't need to speak. I'll explain everything clearly today." Li family, do you still have any impression of them? It looks like you don't know. After all, you've already killed so many people. The lady of that family is my childhood. One day, he suddenly disappeared from the city. The emperor actually said he was transferred away? Who would believe such nonsense? I looked around for clues and finally found you. I couldn't believe that you had actually killed all of their families! " Meng Qin's mood was very excited, "So I acted out a play just to get close to you and find an opportunity to take revenge on you and destroy your entire family! But I'm tired and I don't want to play any more. Today, I'll make it clear that we won't meet again. Just like this, we will part ways here. " After Meng Qin finished speaking, she turned around and left, "Um, I still have one more question." Halfway there, she suddenly turned her head, "In such a long time, have you ever liked me?"

"… I once liked it." Xu Zhen didn't like to lie. If he didn't speak these words now, he might not have another chance in the future.

"I see." Meng Qin left.

Xu Zhen had returned to his old life of nurturing flowers and reading books. If there was nothing else to do, he would try his best not to go out. The time from before had been like a dream, bringing Xu Zhen joy he'd never experienced before. It had ended just as abruptly as a dream. That's good, that's good. This was probably the first time Xu Zhen experienced such a heartache since he was born.

It was another ordinary day. A gray pigeon flew over from the horizon, this was the pigeon that the Emperor had specially sent for this mission. However, this time, Xu Zhen was a little afraid of accepting this mission.

Meng Clan.
