Chapter 558: Chapter 378: A Dark and Windy Night, An Old Friend Appears (Part 1, Version 2)

Fen Xiao was completely unmindful of the blood and flesh of her palm turning blurry. The only thought in her mind now was to kill her before their leader could see her.

Even if it cost her own life.

No one could understand such obsession. However, in Fen Xiao’s view, it was justifiable.

...

Night with a dark moon and high wind, it was a time to commit murder and arson.

In the pitch-black sky, only a few sparks of starlight remained. The weak light crossed the white yarn window and shone on the light-colored bed. The young girl on the bed slept soundly, and by her bed, there stood a man dressed all in black.

Standing still, just like that, he watched the girl quietly with his cold eyes. No one knew what he was thinking at this moment.

Suddenly, the man’s hand slid towards his waist. A flash of silver, without hesitation, he stabbed the cold dagger that flickered with an icy light towards the person on the bed - a clean and decisive action.

But the next moment, the sleeping girl’s face drew up a slight curve. "You’re here." Those three simple words made the man halt his hand mid-stab, then quickly withdrew, standing still as though nothing had just happened.

Her gaze leisurely, the man looked at the slight smile in the girl’s eyes. "Mmm." His voice was deep. "So, you were just testing me?" She must have been awake the moment he stepped into the room.

With her capabilities, how could she let him get close like this?

The girl sat up, the corner of her mouth slightly raised, she glanced at him indifferently. "Do you think I’m that boring?" A rhetorical question with a smirk.

The man smirked, "I can’t be sure about others, but as the legendary Poison Doctor, I believe no one can truly grasp what’s on your mind, am I right, Mu Lin." Who knew when she would enjoy being bored or when she would prefer seriousness?

When the name ’Mu Lin’ left his mouth, the room instantly brightened like daylight, and the man’s figure became clear.

Mu Lin looked indifferently at the man standing in front of her, the curve of her mouth lingering, "Blackstar, it’s been a while," she said. It seemed like he had been doing well recently.

"It’s been a while, Mu Lin." Blackstar, the man Mu Lin saved back in the military camp, his real name was Song Yun, a professional assassin.

"How did you know I was here?" Mu Lin asked Blackstar indifferently as she watched him. She remembered that she hadn’t tried to find him in the way he had suggested.

"You seem to be unaware that your every move is being watched by countless pairs of eyes." The name ’Poison Doctor’, her identity, age, appearance... all were gradually spreading and resonating in the world. Blackstar didn’t understand what Mu Lin’s intentions were.

For her to do so was extremely dangerous.

"Really?" Mu Lin smiled nonchalantly. "No wonder even before I set foot in C Province, countless pairs of eyes were already tailing me." The constant watching made her uncomfortable, she almost poisoned them one by one.

But in the end, she restrained herself.

Why?

Too much of a hassle!

Hearing Mu Lin’s words, Blackstar laughed, a hint of helplessness in his eyes. "It looks like you knew everything already, and I was scared for you unnecessarily, even breaking out in a cold sweat." He thought she was unaware, it seemed like he had underestimated her.

Mu Lin just laughed without a word, not taking his words to heart.

"Mu Lin, why are you doing this?" Blackstar was confused, what good would it do to let her looks and reputation spread out? This would only bring countless dangers to her. By then, endless troubles would await her.

But how would Blackstar know, this was not what Mu Lin wanted.

"Why." Mu Lin thoughtfully lifted her brow, turned to look at Blackstar, her face full of innocence, "You’re asking me, so who should I ask?" This wasn’t her choice. Who asked the other party to expose her ’true face’ in such a situation?

Although, she didn’t care.

For some unknown reason, Blackstar had an urge to hold his forehead. For some reason, his encounter with Mu Lin this time felt different from before.

Back then, apart from indifference and distance, the only thing left on Mu Lin was a touch of coldness. Her face usually displayed a faint smile, but in reality, there was no warmth to it. But the Mu Lin he saw tonight, her aura had changed, but he couldn’t describe how. After all, it’s hard to describe certain feelings, you can only experience them on your own.

"How did you get here?" Mu Lin looked at Blackstar and asked simply, "I remember you told me before that you’d be in Ming City. You didn’t come to find me when I was there, but today, moments after I arrived in C Province, you found me, especially in the middle of this dark and windy night." Mu Lin looked suspiciously at him, "You’re not... planning something against me, are you?"

She thought Mu Lin would say something, but unexpectedly, what she came up with was such a baffling question that could choke a person to death.

If he had designs on her, he must be tired of living.

Blackstar figured that soon, Poison Doctor wouldn’t need to use poison to kill anyway.

Why?

With just her words! Annoy or choke someone to death, Blackstar figured that for Mu Lin, this must be a very simple task.
