CHAPTER 191: CHAPTER 191: DON’T WORRY

Lin Ruixian questioned Gu Ningyue’s idea: "Just using it to exchange for the Blood Jade, it won’t really hurt her. It might have been the fastest and easiest way to get the Blood Jade back then."

Gu Ningyue shook her head: "Ji Qianqian, the girl whose intelligence always remained at a child’s level, relied heavily on me during that time together. If we use her to exchange for the Blood Jade, I dare not imagine the harm it would leave in her heart. Forget it, let’s think of another way!"

Lin Ruixian looked puzzled: "When did you become so emotional?"

If it were the former Gu Ningyue, as long as the task was successfully completed without breaking the rules of the organization, that was enough.

She wouldn’t care about a stranger’s feelings like now.

"I don’t know, maybe I’m influenced by the lingering emotions in this body!" Gu Ningyue spoke hesitantly: "Besides, people do change."

Lin Ruixian shrugged: "I haven’t changed, I’m still the same."

Gu Ningyue looked up at him and asked: "Have you ever been hurt? The kind of hurt that makes you feel pain or despair even thinking back on it?"

Lin Ruixian thought for a moment, then shook his head: "No. Never!"

"That’s why!" Ning Yue smiled slightly: "You have a privileged background, good looks, everything you want is within reach. Without any accidents, you might be like this for a lifetime."

A smooth life, what needs to change?

Only when people fall, can they change in the midst of pain.

Lin Ruixian touched his chin: "I also think I look good."

Gu Ningyue: "..." This guy seems to have missed the point!

After discussing a strategy and setting up the division of labor, the two sat at the edge of the balcony, watching the scenery outside for a long time without moving.

Gu Ningyue didn’t say she wanted to go back, and Lin Ruixian also didn’t speak.

They just sat quietly in the sunlight, occasionally brushed by a gentle breeze, enjoying this rare moment of peace.

"This seems like the first time we’ve cooperated since our reunion." After a long while, Lin Ruixian said with a smile.

He was looking forward to this long-awaited cooperation.

Gu Ningyue nodded gently, "Yeah! I didn’t expect we would have the chance to cooperate again."

She thought the shipwreck party would be the end of her life.

Unexpectedly, the world is vast and full of wonders.

She found herself back in this sunny world again.

Lin Ruixian turned his head, looking at Gu Ningyue’s face.

This face was completely different from the cold and captivating face from before; she resembled an alluring, seductive flower, making people rise with a desire to possess under this brilliant light.

Compared to who she was before, Lin Ruixian preferred how she was now.

Without the aloofness that kept people at a distance of a thousand miles, making one instinctively want to be close.

"Are you afraid?" Lin Ruixian asked softly: "It’s been a long time since you last took action, right?"

Gu Ningyue laughed: "You’ve thought too much, I haven’t stopped taking action. Don’t worry! I haven’t forgotten what Master taught me!"

Lin Ruixian also laughed, "That’s good, don’t mess up then, my skills can’t do much to help you."

His gaze could control people’s hearts, but his hands were nowhere near Gu Ningyue’s level.

One was in the sky, the other on the ground.

"Mhm." Gu Ningyue expressed understanding, "I’ll protect you, like before, just relax, I haven’t changed!"

Lin Ruixian only nodded at Gu Ningyue’s words.

Without the actual day arriving, he wouldn’t believe the girl before him was as agile as before.

Lin Ruixian suddenly remembered something: "Oh right, your Qingyue Dagger sunk to the bottom of the sea too, right?"

Gu Ningyue nodded, looking heartbroken every time she thought of it: "Yeah, that was given to me by my Master during my first mission."

Lin Ruixian continued asking: "So what are you using now?"

Gu Ningyue remembered the folding knife she had in her pocket, "I don’t have anything now, it got confiscated during a check, didn’t you see?"

Lin Ruixian opened his eyes wide: "You’re... planning to use that? It better had been confiscated!"

Gu Ningyue shrugged, showing she was helpless.

"You reminded me, I’ll go out to see if there’s a suitable weapon."

She stood up, waved at Lin Ruixian sitting on the wicker chair, and turned to leave the room.

Before coming, she checked some famous weapon stores in Y City on Baidu, they seemed pretty good, worth a visit.

When leaving the hotel, Gu Ningyue specially applied another layer of sunscreen.

Although these two cities aren’t far apart, the sunlight here was particularly strong.

This body seldom goes out now, and rarely exercises, leading to decreased resistance and causing sun sensitivity.

Just for that brief moment in the sun, a line of red bumps erupted on her arm, itching terribly.

Just as she took a taxi to the first shop she wanted to visit, Gu Ningyue suddenly received a call from Ling Tianyou.

After hesitating for a long time, Gu Ningyue chose to mute the phone and put it back in her pocket.

Only after Ling Tianyou hung up did she calmly send a message: "I was outside and didn’t hear, just text me!"

"With whom?" Ling Tianyou asked.

Gu Ningyue: "Of course by myself, just out for a stroll, what’s up?"

That’s not really a lie, right? She was indeed out by herself now.

Ling Tianyou didn’t reply, and Gu Ningyue inexplicably felt a sense of foreboding.

Ling Tianyou never used to care about who she was with. Did he find out something?

Impossible! Why would that old fox Gu Zheng tell Ling Tianyou why she was in Y City for no reason?

Forget it, no matter, finding a weapon is the priority now.

As she wandered around, looking at the array of knives inside, Gu Ningyue’s gaze remained indifferent.

The workmanship looked fine, but they were all too large, wishing to take them on a plane would be a pipe dream.

Of course, the more important reason was that she hadn’t found one to her liking, otherwise sending it back to A City after use wouldn’t be an issue.

After browsing for a while and confirming there was nothing she liked, Gu Ningyue turned and left the shop.

There was still no message from Ling Tianyou on her phone, so Gu Ningyue took a cab to the next store.

For two whole hours, Gu Ningyue wandered aimlessly, visiting all the cold weapon shops in Y City she had previously researched.

"Sigh, finding a suitable weapon is so difficult."

Gu Ningyue glanced at the sun in the sky and let out a sigh.

If she had known it would be this difficult, back then, she wouldn’t have taken the Qingyue Dagger out on a mission.

If she had just left it in that place she frequently visited, she wouldn’t be stressing now.

Unfortunately, there aren’t so many if-only’s in the world.
