Chapter 66

"He is Xu Xiaoshou!" Shao Yi whispered, his voice heavy with gravity.

"He is not Xu Xiaoshou!" Feng Kong's eyes were fixed on the figure behind the rock garden, "Xu Xiaoshou is at the eighth realm of cultivation, he is at the ninth!"

"He has broken through!"

"Hehe, such a coincidence?"

"He doesn't dare to turn around! His back and the description in the information are too similar! His cultivation is absolutely not at the innate level! He is wearing white, an assassin wouldn't be stupid enough to wear white!"

Shao Yi's words came in a rapid stream. He knew that Feng Kong could deduce all this information in a breath, and even more than he could.

But he still had to say it; he needed the other party to give him a signal to act.

Even if this signal could make Shao Yi fall into endless ruin in an instant, it would also give Feng Kong a slight chance to escape.

"Is it really as simple as it seems on the surface?"

Feng Kong hesitated. He admitted, he was stunned!

Even if this person was 99.9% Xu Xiaoshou!

But what if he isn't?

The large pit on the ground, the missing main house, there was clearly someone inside, yet there was no response at all...

How to explain this?

Shao Yi could risk his life to bet on it, could he be so cold-blooded?

If the person in front is not Xu Xiaoshou, then he must be a terrifying senior who can hide his cultivation even better, or even one of the few people from the Inner Court who have been missing for a long time!

If he doesn't act, and only sees a back, he still has a reason to live.

Once he acts, it gives the other party a reason to silence him.

Is it worth it for just one Xu Xiaoshou?

Shao Yi waited for a long time without a response, his heart was in turmoil.

Feng Kong hesitated!

He actually saw this guy hesitate!

Heaven knows, this is a terrifying thing for a professional assassin.

"Boom!"

A silver arc flashed across the sky, and the rain suddenly intensified!

The courtyard was deathly silent, only the sound of the rain remained.

The person behind the rock garden was silent, and the two who had mistakenly entered the deep pond were also silent. Perhaps they each had a belly full of questions, but they knew...

Whoever speaks first, loses!

...

"Suspected, passive value, +1."

"Suspected, passive value, +1."

"Suspected, passive value, +1."

"..."

The information bar was疯狂刷屏, in just a few breaths, there were hundreds of messages!

Who is the mysterious person standing on the rock garden...

Do we even need to ask?

It's Xu Xiaoshou!

Why is he wearing white? Because he didn't have time to change!

Why doesn't he dare to turn around? Because he is Xu Xiaoshou!

But why does he dare to stand in front of the two of them?

—Because there is no other way!

Xu Xiaoshou's legs were already weak. If these two guys attacked immediately, he might not be able to dodge in time.

However, the observation just now made him realize that these two people...

Are extremely patient, meticulous, and plan before acting...

They are definitely professionally trained assassins!

Similarly, these two people will definitely think; or rather, the presence of the person behind makes them think more.

As long as they think more, they will think even more!

His previous random actions that turned the courtyard into this state have now become his lifeline!

Whether he can think like them, make them think what he wants them to think or not think, and then think again, making their thoughts freely diverge and wander...

Xu Xiaoshou was a bit dizzy...

But he knew he had to think now; it was his only capital to survive!

In short, these are two smart people with high cultivation. Dealing with such people, a direct confrontation is like hitting a stone with an egg; he could only outsmart them.

Whether he could survive depended on his brain.

To bluff them, he needed to take the initiative, making them deduce his identity from the little information he gave...

Thus, the following questions arise:

"Who is he? If he is Xu Xiaoshou, why does he dare to stand in front of us so boldly, and why is the courtyard in this state?"

"If he is not Xu Xiaoshou, then he must be here to kill Xu Xiaoshou, which explains the state of the courtyard; but if we saw him, and his strength far exceeds ours, why didn't he act immediately to silence us?"

Xu Xiaoshou's heart was trembling.

His current identity must oscillate between the two, not giving the other party a definite answer, only making them guess, thus confusing them.

But can he really deduce exactly what they are thinking?

Impossible!

So, he also remained silent, the more he said, the more he would be wrong.

Sometimes, when dealing with smart people, appropriately using subtraction can have unexpected effects.

Therefore, he only gave a vague sigh, and received a flood of messages in his mind. He knew this had already succeeded to a small extent.

However, even if he bluffed them with a 99.9% probability, once they tried to act, he would surely die.

So, how should he proceed from here...

To be honest.

No idea!

Xu Xiaoshou faced away from them, but his "perception" could clearly observe their facial expressions, which was his greatest reliance.

The silence continued, each of the three harboring their own thoughts, waiting for the other to speak.

In his mind, the "suspected" messages were rapidly decreasing, and Xu Xiaoshou became nervous.

These two people were even more patient than he imagined, making it impossible for him to find a way to guide the conversation.

No, he had to speak, waiting any longer would lead to their second round of verification.

But... what to say?

Xu Xiaoshou knew his next words would decide his life or death, and he hesitated...

"Heh, are you also here to kill Xu Xiaoshou?" he said in a low voice.

"Unfortunately, you're too late." he said with deep meaning.

What a joke!

These two sentences, wouldn't they just be like saying "I didn't steal the 300 taels of silver"? Only a fool would think that!

...

Feng Kong's eagle-like eyes stared intently at the figure behind the rock garden, not missing any detail.

Sweat mixed with rain trickled down the back of his head, the cold seeping through from the outside.

He still firmly believed this person was Xu Xiaoshou, but why...

Could this guy still remain so calm?

He made a very subtle glance, and Shao Yi instantly received the signal.

Act!

"Chi!"

A light, mocking laugh, but it successfully interrupted Shao Yi's action. The figure behind the rock garden seemed to be muttering to himself, "Can't hold it anymore, huh..."

The two almost didn't hear what he said, but the mockery in his voice was clear.

It was as if he was playing a cat-and-mouse game, the outcome already decided, just wanting to see the prey struggle.

Feng Kong's pupils contracted, his whole body was cold.

He could see!

Even without turning around, how could he possibly see the slightest默契 between him and Shao Yi?

"Are you going to act or not!" Shao Yi was about to go crazy.

Even if he was stupid, he knew these two seniors were playing a psychological game, but he couldn't intervene, he could only wait for Feng Kong's signal.

And now...

The signal was gone!

"Damn it!"

Shao Yi was in a state of collapse!
