49: Chapter 49: Make Your Move Quickly 49: Chapter 49: Make Your Move Quickly Just as Lin Xing returned to his room, pondering matters related to the enhancement of his skills.

The cat doll ran into the room from outside, arriving at Lin Xing’s feet all dusty and travel-worn.

Bai Yiyi’s voice also rang out in Lin Xing’s mind at the same time, “Lin Xing, Lin Xing, guess what I found?”

Listening to Bai Yiyi recount her discovery, Lin Xing’s gaze shifted, “The assassination attempt failed?”

He immediately thought of Commander Zhang, who had clashed with the Holy Daughter of the Heavenly Will Sect and been injured that day.

Lin Xing looked in Mo Xingye’s direction, “Could she be the Holy Daughter of the Heavenly Will Sect who fought with Commander Zhang today?”

At that thought, Lin Xing glanced at the evil relic in his hand, and his eyes immediately lit up.

“If she really is the Holy Daughter of the Heavenly Will Sect who attempted to assassinate the Commander, naturally she would possess great martial prowess and be murderous.

By exposing her now, wouldn’t I immediately be drawn into a death battle with her?

This would allow me to enhance my skills right now.”

“If not, it seems like it doesn’t really matter.”

“In any case…

it’s worth a try.”

With that thought, Lin Xing immediately strode toward Mo Xingye’s room.

As he pushed the door open, Mo Xingye, who had been resting on the bed, immediately opened her eyes.

Her face, which could originally be described as heavenly and enchanting, was now pale, making her look frail, but it did not detract from her beauty one bit.

Instead, it added a touch of pitiable charm.

Even Lin Xing was momentarily stunned, thinking to himself, “Why does she look so sick?

Could it be that she can’t beat me in her current state?”

And Mo Xingye, watching Lin Xing approach, a hint of confusion appeared on her pale face.

At first, she assumed Lin Xing was like other men, driven by lust, but to her utter surprise, he had not taken a step into her room for many days.

Now seeing Lin Xing enter the room, Mo Xingye thought to herself, “Could it be that this man has held back for so long and can’t restrain himself any longer?

Yet it happens to be today…”

But in the next moment, something unexpected happened.

Lin Xing asked outright, “Are you the Holy Daughter of the Heavenly Will Sect?”

Mo Xingye’s pupils constricted slightly, “Has Zhang Tiande uncovered my identity?

Could it be they want to ambush and kill me within the Commander Mansion?”

She immediately looked toward the door, expecting to see a squad of gunmen and Commander Zhang, but there was no sign of them; it seemed Lin Xing had come alone.

Naturally, Mo Xingye would not admit anything casually, yet Lin Xing continued looking at her expectantly, saying, “Are you the one who fought with the Commander today and got injured?

Someone saw you spitting blood as you returned.”

Mo Xingye’s pupils constricted again, “When I returned, I clearly avoided all the sentries along the way inside the Commander Mansion.

Who could have noticed me so stealthily?”

Watching Lin Xing in front of her, she thought, “He has uncovered my identity, but has not summoned Zhang Tiande.

Could he have an ulterior motive?”

Meanwhile, seeing that Mo Xingye made no move, Lin Xing pressed, “Well?

Don’t you want to make a move and kill me to silence me?”

Mo Xingye snorted coldly and, forming a Taoist formula with her hands, she flicked her fingers and an invisible force surged out from her brow and entered Lin Xing’s body.

“Immobilized!”

Looking at Lin Xing, who wore an expression of surprise and yet was unable to move, Mo Xingye said indifferently, “This is our Heavenly Will Sect’s secret technique transformation, the immobilization spell.

You haven’t even mastered the technique enhancement, so you can’t withstand my immobilization spell.”

She looked at Lin Xing curiously and asked, “Since you’ve uncovered my identity, why have you come alone without informing Zhang Tiande?”

Lin Xing thought to himself, if he really called the Commander here, how could the Holy Daughter of the Heavenly Will Sect still fight to the death with him, how could he let himself be promoted through this challenge.

He replied offhandedly, “If I inform the Commander about this, then he would definitely take you away by force, and where would that leave me in finding you?”

Mo Xingye was slightly startled upon hearing this, and asked, “Are you afraid that the Commander will take me away?”

She thought to herself, “This Lin Xing is indeed captivated by my beauty.”

Mo Xingye was no stranger to such situations, with countless fathers and sons, brothers, masters and disciples, brothers and sisters turning against each other over her.

Yet, examining the current situation, a hint of curiosity emerged in her heart as she asked, “Aren’t you afraid that, if I truly were the Holy Daughter of the Heavenly Will Sect, I would kill you for coming to see me alone?”

Hearing this, Lin Xing laughed heartily, “I, Lin Xing, am afraid of everything, except death.”

“Not afraid of death?” Mo Xingye scoffed and pulled out a dagger from nowhere.

The blade, radiating a chill, slowly pressed against Lin Xing’s throat as Mo Xingye said indifferently, “I’ve yet to meet someone who is not afraid of death.”

At the sight, Lin Xing’s heart steadied, and he immediately said, “Then go ahead.”

Mo Xingye, looking into Lin Xing’s pure eyes, could not detect the slightest hint of fear, despite her years of experience in the Jianghu.

A flicker of intrigue crossed her eyes as she said, “Do you really wish to die by my hand?”

With a bit more force, Mo Xingye’s dagger began to draw blood from Lin Xing’s throat.

Feeling the icy sensation at his throat, Lin Xing breathed a sigh of relief internally, “Perfect!

Now I can promote my skills through this test!”

But the next moment, something deeply disappointing happened.

Mo Xingye suddenly withdrew the dagger, a strange look in her eyes.

This fearlessness in the face of death unexpectedly gave Mo Xingye the impression that Lin Xing had a certain heroism about him.

“He truly isn’t afraid of death?”

As she thought about Lin Xing’s series of actions after entering the house, doubts and oddities kept flashing through Mo Xingye’s mind.

“Could it be that he neither wants Zhang Tiande to take me away nor wants to betray the Commander, and amidst the struggle within his heart, he has decided to die by my hand?”

“Could such a fool really exist in this world?”

Mo Xingye found it hard to believe that anyone could be so foolish.

Yet, besides this reason, she couldn’t think of any other explanation for Lin Xing’s actions.

Just then, linking Lin Xing’s recent behavior, a thought suddenly crossed her mind, “If this is really the case, maybe I can…”

With that thought, Mo Xingye addressed Lin Xing, “Yesterday, before the confrontation with Zhang Tiande in the North Suburb, I saw you defeat the Dragon Tiger Divine General.

For someone of your age, that is quite an achievement, a testament to your exceptional talent and aptitude.”

“I heard that afterwards in the Ruyi Temple, you preserved the dignity of all the nun disciples, protecting them from the soldiers’ humiliation, which shows that even though you serve under Commander Zhang, your conscience is still intact.”

“And today, with the blade at your throat, faced with life and death, you showed no fear…”

As she spoke, the admiration in Mo Xingye’s eyes became more pronounced, and she sighed, “Both in talent and temperament, you are rare in this world; why then do you serve under someone like the demon Zhang Tiande?”

Lin Xing frowned and urged, “What’s with all this talk?

If you’re going to do it, just get on with it.”
