The Peerless Master of Jinyiwei

Chapter 30
Chapter 31 The Enchantress with Thousand Faces

The sun did not know when it had shone in.

Ning Chen felt that his upper body was warm and very comfortable, and he even felt unwilling to open his eyes.

There was no barrier between the outer room and the inner room. Ning Chen took a sneak peek and found that Xiang Chu had already left at some point.

"Hiss!" Ning Chen touched his forehead in a little panic, secretly rejoicing: "I didn't even notice him leaving at all. It's a good thing he didn't mean anything to me, otherwise"

When Ning Chen was about to leave, he found a small incense burner on the table in the inner room, with half of the short incense sticks that had been extinguished on it.

There was a note under the incense burner, Ning Chen pulled it out lightly, and smiled helplessly when he saw the writing on it.

"Outside the rivers and lakes, it's a big taboo to be unprepared. The remaining half of the 'dream guest' should be regarded as a gift from the senior brother. In addition, remember the agreement made yesterday."

dream guest.

It must be the name of this fragrance.

Ning Chen took out half of Mixiang, carefully wrapped it in a cloth, and put it in his arms.

"Sure enough, it's a good gift!" Ning Chen sighed rather, not knowing if he was satisfied with this half-dream guest, or sighed with Xiang Chu's experience in the world.

After tidying up a bit, Ning Chen got up and left as well. The 100 taels of banknotes had already been obtained, and there was nothing else to do for the time being. Except for the rebellion of the Dongting faction that still needed to be investigated, Ning Chen felt quite relaxed now.

As soon as Ning Chen stepped down from the Fulin Inn, he saw a local government servant posting a notice on the bulletin board outside the inn.

People with good deeds nearby also flocked to them one after another. These things have always been talked about after dinner in the Jianghu, and Ning Chen didn't feel strange at all.

Even he himself involuntarily approached the past.

"The thief of the rivers and lakes, the enchantress with a thousand faces."

This is a portrait, but no faces are drawn, only a rough outline.

"A reward of ten thousand taels."

In Ning Chen's mind, there was also a passage that his master once said to him in the Jiange of Cold Mountain: "Thousand-faced demon girl, no one knows what she really looks like, and no one knows whether she is male or female. The man said she was a woman, a peerless beauty; the woman said he was a man, a peerless beauty. This person first appeared in the Xiliang Imperial City 15 years ago, and the first person she patronized was Xiliang today. The emperor, but the emperor at that time was still a little prince, the least powerful prince."

"The last time she showed up was five years ago. The last person she patronized was our Jiange Criminal Hall's Hall Master Li. At that time, Hall Master Li was just a little girl who knew nothing about the world, and it was only three years. In a short period of time, he will grow into the biggest evil star of Jiange."

Ning Chen remembered the two cases his master told him, the first and the last.

"Since then, the Demon Girl with Thousand Faces has withdrew from the arena, and no one knows where she is anymore."

"Master thinks he is male or female."

"I've said it all. Men want her beauty, a peerless beauty. Your master and I are reputable men, so naturally I think she is a woman!"

"Just remember." Ning Chen's master said very solemnly: "My master hopes that you can see the Thousand-faced Fairy One day, but I also hope that you will never see her."

"Why is this?"

"Because the Demon Girl with Thousand Faces is the top thief in the world, she only steals one thing!" The master's eyes also had a bit of confusion, as if he had sunk into a memory that he didn't want to wake up from. Ning Chen could see that Come out, Master's expression is sweet with a hint of bitterness.

"Steal what?" Ning Chen asked curiously.

"Heart!" The master slowly opened his eyes, calmed down a little, and then said: "This person steals his heart, no matter if it is a man or a woman, she will not let it go!"

"That's why men want her to be beautiful; and women want her to be handsome?" Ning Chen asked thoughtfully.

"That's right!" The master sighed softly, and continued: "Since ancient times, affection is the most ruthless. As a teacher, I only saw her face back then, and I was already deeply involved in it. Although my skills have improved greatly, but...hehe!" Master Sighed softly, and then said: "There are some old things, don't mention them, don't mention them!"

"Thousand-faced enchantress."

Ning Chen sighed softly: "I don't know why this person appeared here, could it be that someone's heart is about to be stolen again?"

"Brother Chen." Suddenly a familiar voice came from Ning Chen's side.

"Brother Nie." Ning Chen was taken aback for a moment, and turned his head to see that it was Nie Yidao.

"I didn't expect to meet again so soon." Nie Yidao smiled lightly at Ning Chen, and then said, "Why are you here?"

"After we parted yesterday, how could I still be interested in staying there?" Ning Chen smiled wryly, and then said, "I took a short rest here after wandering all the way, isn't it?"

Ning Chen pouted lightly at the notice, and continued, "Just as I came down, I saw that the government posted this notice here."

"Thousand-faced Demon Fairy?" Nie Yidao had obviously heard of this person's name before, a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he continued: "I didn't expect this person to come out of the world again, and I didn't know it was her. Still her descendant."

"Brother Nie knows this person?" Ning Chen pretended to be puzzled and asked.

"Of course I know!" Nie Yidao said with a proud face, "In Xiliang, I'm afraid there is no one who doesn't know this person's name."

Ning Chen nodded lightly. He also knew this. His master had told him that the main range of activities of the Thousand-faced Demon Fairy was in Xiliang, and she occasionally appeared in Nanming, but Beiyan did not. I've heard that the Demon Girl with Thousand Faces has been there before.

"But I forgot. Brother Chen is from Beiyan, so he probably has never heard of this person's reputation." Seeing Ning Chen's puzzled look, Nie Yidao told Ning Chen the main story of the Thousand-faced Fairy Fairy over again.

Although Ning Chen knew about these things a long time ago, in order to show his flaws, he still listened to it with great restraint.

But just listening to it made me understand something different.

It's my own master, and I didn't mention anything to myself.

"This enchantress with thousands of faces is from the underworld!" Nie Yidao said to Ning Chen, "There are seven ambassadors in the underworld, and this enchantress with thousands of faces is one of them, known as the ruthless envoy."

"Ruthless Messenger?" This is also the first time Ning Chen has learned about the structure of the Underworld. After hearing Nie Yidao's words, he realized that the Demon Girl with Thousand Faces is actually the Seven Ambassadors of the Underworld. It sounds like this status may not be low.

"Love is the most ruthless since ancient times!" Ning Chen thought of Master's meaningful exclamation, and had some guesses about this person's way of doing things in his heart!
