Chapter 56

Su Mo tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. She kept thinking about Wu Ying. Geett the latest novels at novelhall.com

Could something have happened to Wu Ying? But with his high level of martial arts, there should not be any issues! However, she had an ominous feeling.

Su Mo suddenly sat up in bed, put on her clothes, took her whip and went out the door.

She went to Wu Ying's room again and saw that he still had not returned.

"Where did he go? Why didn't he tell me? This really makes me worry!"

Just as Su Mo came out of Wu Ying's room, she saw a shadow flash by on the roof.

"Who's there?!" Su Mo chased it. The shadow started running on the roof.

Su Mo tiptoed and flew onto the roof, chasing after it. Over this period, she had been learning qinggong (lightness skill) from Wu Ying and had made some progress.

Su Mo chased the shadow until they left Qinglin Courtyard.

The person suddenly stopped in front. It was clear he had lured Su Mo out.

"Who are you? Why did you lead me out here?"

The person turned around and removed the black veil covering his face.

Seeing his face, Su Mo was a little surprised. "Aunt San? Why is it you?"

She suddenly realized something and said coldly, "Where is Wu Ying? Did you call him away? What is your relationship with him?!"

Ru Yue laughed. "What's wrong? Didn't Wu Ying tell you about his identity?"

"What exactly do you want to say?"

"I'm warning you to stay away from Wu Ying!" Ru Yue said solemnly.

"Hmph!" Su Mo sneered. "On what grounds? He's my boyfriend now. What right do you have to say that?!"

Su Mo lashed her whip at Ru Yue. Ru Yue quickly dodged.

Su Mo lowered her eyes and stood up. She didn't know what to do and was unsure of the right course of action. Her heart had never felt so chaotic.

Ru Yue stood up and gave her a signal device, saying "Think it over carefully. If you make up your mind, use this to find me. I'll help pass on a message for you."

Su Mo looked at the signal device in Ru Yue's hand but did not take it. Ru Yue glanced at her before putting the signal device into Su Mo's hand and leaving.

She and Wu Ying had been fellow disciples for so many years. When they were young, Wu Ying had saved her before so she didn't want him to end up crippled from having his martial arts destroyed.

The people in their Dark Cabinet were all orphans without parents. Because they had no family ties, they could become the most ruthless assassins without any scruples.

Back then when they were brought to Dark Cabinet, to nurture them, the Leader made them kill each other. Only the strongest few would remain in the end.

She and Wu Ying were only a little over ten years old at that time. She nearly died at someone else's hands but Wu Ying happened to save her so she was allowed to remain.

She had always felt Wu Ying was cold and merciless without any feelings. But surprisingly, he had actually developed feelings for a girl.

...

Su Mo sat in the courtyard the entire night.

Sang Lan also had something on her mind and did not sleep well, waking up very early. When she came to the courtyard, she saw Su Mo sitting alone and dejected under a big tree.

"Mo Mo?" Sang Lan walked over and patted her shoulder. "Why are you up so early?"

Sang Lan sat down next to her and suddenly realized Su Mo's eyes were red and swollen, clearly from crying.

"What's going on?" Sang Lan anxiously asked, "Why are you crying like this?"

Sang Lan had never seen Su Mo in this state before. Even when she was rejected by Wu Ying previously, she was not like this.

"Sis Lan..." Tears flowed down Su Mo's cheeks again. Her tone carried a hint of powerlessness. "I don't know what to do. I don't know what I should do that is right."

"What exactly happened?" Sang Lan hugged her and comforted, "Tell me and I'll try to think of a way. Did something happen to Wu Ying?"

Su Mo told Sang Lan everything from the beginning to the end.

"So... he turned out to be an assassin. No wonder his martial arts is so high." Sang Lan suddenly understood.

"Sis Lan, what should I do?" Su Mo choked out amidst sobs, "I don't want to break up with him but I also don't want to harm him. I've never felt so conflicted before."
