Chapter 64

In the midst of the fat geese patrolling the lake, the wind was full, and the rain was drizzling, with people walking in the night.

"Ah Kong, at this time, shouldn't you be lying in bed with a beauty?"

"At this weather, at this time, it's very easy to feel sleepy..."

The geese skimmed the lake, flying past two men in black cloaks, one with a large hood, the other with his face exposed.

Shao Yi tightened his large hood, took another swig from his wine gourd, and burped after patting his stomach.

"Burp~"

Feng Kong looked at the sky; the rain had delayed the sunrise, but it was almost dawn...

"At this time, people's vigilance is much lower."

He retracted his gaze, took a few steps, and warned, "Don't drink before killing, it can affect your judgment."

Shao Yi's movements stiffened, but his speed didn't slow down, following closely behind.

"No worries!"

"Given the situation, I even wanted to ask you to put your hood up, so the rain doesn't interfere with your vision, making your moves less steady."

Feng Kong wiped the cold from his face, speaking sparingly, "The rain is cold, it clears the mind."

Shao Yi immediately patted his wine gourd, his eyes widening.

"You see, different people have different preferences..."

"I like drinking, you like getting rained on, isn't this a win-win?"

Feng Kong's lips twitched slightly, and he fell silent for a long time before sighing, "Drinking is fine... but can you speak normally?"

"Phew!"

Indeed, he was swayed, Feng Kong closed his mouth, deciding not to speak anymore.

"Hehe..." Shao Yi laughed, "Do you like it?"

"Um."

"I also like your cold and indifferent look, as if you're a saint."

Feng Kong suddenly stopped, his eyes turning cold.

"What? Let's go!" Shao Yi was puzzled.

"Do you know what you're saying?" Feng Kong's voice suddenly turned deep and cold, as if from the depths of hell.

"I know, we should be sleeping right now!"

"..."

Feng Kong took a deep breath; this guy was really drunk!

Forget it, no need to argue with him, the task is more important.

He flew away.

Shao Yi, behind him, slightly lifted his large hood, though he wasn't rained on, his face was drenched in cold sweat.

"Damn, what did I just say? I'm risking my life!"

"He's Blood Hand Feng Kong!"

"Fortunately, it's fine, Brother Kong probably won't kill me."

After that slip of the tongue, the other's gloomy voice instantly sobered him up, but he had to play along and continue acting foolish.

Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable!

Shao Yi wiped away the cold sweat, adjusted his expression, and hurriedly followed.

The rain continued, and it seemed to be getting heavier.

The fat geese huddled together, seeking shelter in the corner of the white jade railing, trying to avoid the wind and rain.

Hmm...

It was in vain.

...

On the winding path, the two slowed down considerably.

"Is this the right path?"

Shao Yi looked around; to be honest, he hadn't been to the outer courtyard for a long time and had almost forgotten the way, but fortunately, it hadn't changed much, and he could still recognize it.

He noticed a vague figure in the woods and was surprised.

"The disciples of the outer courtyard are still so diligent, even in the rain?"

"Back in the day, I lived in a large dormitory for a year, with many people, it was hard to practice, and I often came out..."

"Once I entered the inner courtyard, it was much better, with several courtyards and women..."

Shao Yi was full of emotion, talking non-stop, completely unaware of Feng Kong's increasingly dark expression.

He took another sip of wine and saw an open courtyard around the corner.

The courtyard was covered by an array, allowing only rain to enter. In front of the array wall was a large open space, large enough for multiple people to practice.

"Tsk tsk, so wealthy!"

"Back in the day..."

"Shut up!" Feng Kong interrupted, "We can already see people, still talking, did you forget what I taught you?"

"Uh..." Shao Yi scratched his head awkwardly, wanting to respond but not daring to.

He took another swig of wine, mustering his courage, "Brother Kong, I'll take the lead, you cover me. We didn't need you to come, but..."

Feng Kong glared at him, and Shao Yi immediately fell silent, as if his mouth was sewn shut.

"Go."

"Pay attention to your technique, one hit, one kill."

Shao Yi nodded, the wine gourd disappeared, and he drew two short swords, hiding them in his sleeves, then stepped forward.

He raised his hand.

He knocked on the door.

...

In front of him was smooth, delicate skin, though his face was unclear, Xu Xiaoshou couldn't care less.

He reached out to touch...

"Knock knock knock!"

A steady, slow knocking sound rang out, clear and resonant.

"Damn!"

Xu Xiaoshou watched the body dissolve before his eyes, and he lunged forward in frustration...

Smack!

The wooden bed made a loud noise, and a sense of weightlessness came over him, as if he had stepped into a void, stumbling.

Xu Xiaoshou opened his eyes wide, his heart pounding, full of regret, "Just one more step!"

"Knock knock knock!"

Another round of knocking.

Xu Xiaoshou looked at the door, his eyes full of annoyance.

Who is so wicked, coming at this time? Are you here to take my life?

Can't I even get some sleep?

Ruining my good dream!

He put on his shoes and walked out of the guest room, using his spirit energy to form an umbrella to shield himself from the rain.

He had just taken a shower, and although he had only lain down for a short time, he couldn't get wet now.

Rubbing his sleepy eyes, Xu Xiaoshou quickly crossed the courtyard, his hand reaching for the doorknob.

The wind blew, and he seemed to clear his head, stopping his action to open the door.

"Something's not right!"

"So late, who would come to see me?"

Xu Xiaoshou was puzzled; he didn't have many friends in the outer courtyard, and he had just gone to the Spirit Treasury with the staff at noon, and there seemed to be no more business...

He was planning to take a few days off!

"Could it be the staff coming to see me at this time?"

Xu Xiaoshou found it absurd, immediately focusing his attention, his "perception" piercing through the array, seeing the scene outside.

A man in a black cloak, his face hidden under a large hood, though it was dark, his expression was clear under "perception."

He looked ordinary but was very polite, not knocking continuously.

Hmm?

There was another one behind him?

This guy is weird, it's raining, and he's wearing a hooded cloak but still exposing his face, standing with his arms crossed.

Who are you trying to impress?

Is there anyone to see you at this time of night?

Xu Xiaoshou felt something was off, but he couldn't pinpoint what.

Mainly, he didn't recognize these two people, why were they looking for him?

And at this time?

The rain was drizzling, seemingly heavier than before.

Xu Xiaoshou's hand remained on the door, neither pulling it open nor retracting it. His heart suddenly beat faster, and he looked back at the night.

Rainy night...

Killing intent?

Xu Xiaoshou felt a chill down his spine, but it seemed a bit ridiculous, had he read too many novels? Would someone come to kill him for no reason?

He thought he had good relationships and hadn't offended anyone!

The three were very patient, all remaining silent, unmoved.

Xu Xiaoshou "perceived" outside the door, where the people were politely waiting.

The night suddenly became quiet again, a wooden door, three figures.

The rain seemed to get heavier, and the knocking sound became more resonant, with a familiar song faintly echoing in the air...

"Little bunny, open the door..."

"Knock knock knock—"
