A man in the Qin Dynasty changed the world by collecting entries.

"Just cooperate properly, and don't try anything funny."

Bai Yuan looked at her with a smile, and when he felt her hand touching his waist, he issued another warning.

Jingni sensed a faint threat coming from Wuming behind her and ultimately abandoned her plan to take Bai Yuan hostage.

She was unarmed and could not guarantee that she could subdue Bai Yuan under these circumstances.

Left with no other choice, Jingni had to comply with Bai Yuan's wishes and become his wine-pouring maid.

Next, the other dancers slowly left the stage. Unlike Bai Yuan, Wei Wuji's other retainers did not choose a dancer. They knew that the main characters today were Lord Xinling and Bai Yuan.

Dancers can be found anytime.

After a round of toasts and drinks, they had eaten, watched a dance.

Wei Wuji and Bai Yuan didn't discuss any state affairs at all, but instead focused on matters of the heart.

They had a very pleasant conversation about this matter.

They even talked about which country's women were the most beautiful.

Naturally, no conclusion was reached during the discussion. Women from different countries were like a hundred flowers or a hundred treasures, each vying for beauty and charm, each with their own unique appeal.

Bai Yuan's face was slightly flushed. He had drunk so much wine that even though he had used his internal energy to neutralize the alcohol and wasn't really drunk, he still had to pretend.

Jingni was the one who was truly somewhat drunk.

At first, she was only responsible for pouring wine for Bai Yuan, but later she was pulled into drinking with him.

Although she drank little, she dared not use her internal energy to neutralize the alcohol. If she did, Wuming, who already had some suspicions about her, would definitely notice that something was wrong with her.

"Pretend to be drunk!"

At this moment, Jing Ni suddenly heard Bai Yuan's telepathic message. After hesitating for a moment, she pretended to be drunk and leaned against Bai Yuan as instructed.

Upon seeing this, everyone revealed a knowing smile.

Bai Yuan helped Jing Ni up and smiled somewhat embarrassedly.

"Oh dear, I didn't expect her alcohol tolerance to be so low. Well... I wonder if we could prepare a room for her to rest."

"Of course, sir, you may stay at my residence tonight with peace of mind." Lord Xinling beckoned a maid, "Go, take sir to the guest room!"

Bai Yuan, supporting Jing Ni, nodded to Lord Xinling in thanks: "Then thank you very much, young master!"

He then placed his right hand on Jingni's shoulder, squatted down slightly, hooked his left hand around her knees, picked her up, greeted Wuming, and then left with the maid amidst the envious gazes of the crowd.

Chapter 32 Jing Ni is dead

Following the maid to the guest room, Bai Yuan nodded slightly to her: "I don't need your help anymore, you can leave now!"

The maid bowed slightly and then left.

Bai Yuan entered the room and gently closed the door with his right foot.

The next moment, Jing Ni, who had been pretending to be drunk, immediately opened her eyes and looked coldly at Bai Yuan: "Put me down."

There was no one else in the room besides them, so Bai Yuan stopped pretending and simply put her down. Then he went to the table and poured two glasses of water.

"Won't you drink some water to relieve the discomfort?"

Bai Yuan pushed a glass of water toward Jing Ni.

Jing Ni didn't even glance at him, but just stared at him warily.

Seeing that she didn't appreciate his offer, Bai Yuan didn't try to persuade her any further and started drinking himself.

He picked up the cup, seemingly examining it, but said, "You've come to assassinate Lord Xinling, haven't you?"

"So what? What exactly do you want?"

Jing Ni frowned, dealing with Bai Yuan while pondering what to do next.

At this moment, she had no sword in her hand, and she was not confident that she could defeat Bai Yuan, who knew Taoist magic, with her bare hands. Moreover, there was an even stronger Wuming. Taking action would be the most unwise choice.

“Lord Xinling cannot die, so I have to stop you. Besides, your Luo Wang has tried to assassinate me twice. I let you go last time. Now that you’ve come to me again, I can’t just turn a blind eye.”

Bai Yuan shrugged.

“You could have simply revealed my identity and had them kill me.”

Jing Ni spoke those familiar words again.

Upon hearing this, Bai Yuan looked puzzled: "Ningyan, why would I let them kill you?"

"You know very well that I am not Ningyan."

Jing Ni clenched her fists. For some reason, she felt that she might have fallen into Bai Yuan's trap.

"Hehe, from today onwards you are Ningyan. The assassin Jingni of Luowang is dead!" Bai Yuan said to himself with a smile in his eyes, "She infiltrated Lord Xinling's mansion with the intention of assassinating Lord Xinling, but she was discovered, the assassination failed, and she died. The news will spread from Lord Xinling's mansion after tomorrow."

"Such a clumsy lie cannot hide from the net of justice, and..."

"And you won't cooperate, will you?"

Bai Yuan picked up on her words, revealing a playful look in his eyes.

“I have ways to make the Luo Wang (Net of Heaven) believe that this is the truth, but you… you don’t actually think you still have a chance to escape, do you?”

Jingni frowned upon hearing this and glanced towards the door.

"Don't even think about breaking out. I guarantee that if you make a move, you will never leave Lord Xinling's residence."

Bai Yuan tried to persuade her, having immediately seen through Jing Ni's actions.

Jingni snorted coldly and gave up the idea of ​​forcibly escaping.

Bai Yuan nodded in satisfaction when he saw that she was so sensible.

"In a way, I'm helping you out of this mess, helping you escape the trap and become a normal person."

Jing Ni's face was icy cold: "I don't need it!"

"Really? That's a shame. I thought what I said to you last time would change your mind."

Bai Yuan shook his head.

When he mentioned what happened last time, Jingni's eyes trembled slightly.

In fact, ever since she was affected by the [Emotional Sword Technique] last time, her inner...

Some subtle changes had indeed occurred. A voice in her heart kept telling her: "Don't be a slave to the sword. You are a complete person, not a sword called Jingni."

Seeing Jing Ni remain silent for a long time, Bai Yuan realized that she had actually changed, but was still deceiving herself.

"It seems you haven't changed at all, you just don't want to admit it."

"shut up!"

Enraged that Bai Yuan had hit the nail on the head, Jing Ni threw a punch at his face.

Bai Yuan easily caught the punch. Although she looked furious, she didn't actually use any internal force at all.

Bai Yuan slammed her onto the table: "Calm down!"

Once subdued by Bai Yuan, she quickly calmed down and stopped struggling.

Seeing this, Bai Yuan released her.

Rubbing her slightly reddened wrists, Jingni sat down in a daze, clearly still struggling internally.

Seeing her like this, Bai Yuan sighed: "Let me tell you a story, which happens to be related to the Luo Net."

The fact that it was related to the Luo Wang (Net of Heaven) caught Jing Ni's attention.

"Black and White Xuanjian, a top-ranking assassin of the Luo Wang organization, was seriously injured during a mission. However, he was lucky enough to be rescued and cared for by a gentle and beautiful woman. Soon, Xuanjian and she fell in love."

"Later, the woman became pregnant. For the sake of his lover and the child in her womb, Xuan Jian made a promise to retire from the martial world, leaving only the white sword to protect her and the child, and sinking the black sword, which represented killing, to the bottom of the lake."

Upon hearing this, Jingni looked incredulous. This was too absurd; it must be a lie he made up just to sway her conscience.

How could Xuan Jian, a murder weapon wielded by a net, possibly fall in love with a woman?

And what woman would like a killer?

Absolutely ridiculous!

Bai Yuan saw the expression on Jing Ni's face and understood her thoughts: "It seems you still don't quite believe it."

This wasn't something he deduced simply from the plot; it was verified.

Although he didn't want to get involved in Xuan Jian's affairs at first, after receiving an invitation from Lord Xinling, he specially invited Wuming to sneak into Wei Yong's residence last night to meet Wei Qianqian and confirm the matter with her.

Since Bai Yuan wanted Wei Wuji to help them leave the city, he naturally had to prepare a suitable gift. He wasn't naive enough to think that he could get Wei Wuji to help him for free just by calling him a "friend," and he didn't want to owe him a favor.

Regardless of whether Jing Ni believed him or not, Bai Yuan continued speaking.

"This gentle and kind woman has a scoundrel father who used his daughter as leverage to reach a deal with Xuan Jian. For the sake of his lover, Xuan Jian had no choice but to help him kill some Wei ministers and pin the blame on Luo Wang."

At this moment, Jingni's eyes widened, and her heart was filled with turmoil.

Because what he said perfectly matched what Xuan Jian had recently done: assassinating Wei ministers and then pinning all the blame on Luo Wang.

"Now, everything Xuan Jian does is for his lover and child. He is no longer a weapon of the Luo Wang organization. So what about you? Do you still want to be the Jing Ni of the Luo Wang organization? Now that such a good opportunity has been presented to you, don't you want to try to break away from the Luo Wang organization and gain freedom?"

"Betraying the Net means certain death!"

Jing Ni was still trying to find a reason to escape the net, but only if she died.

"But isn't Jing Ni already dead?"

Bai Yuan spoke as if it were a serious matter.

Jing Ni fell silent again.

The current situation is that "Jing Ni" will die whether she likes it or not, so is she willing to break free from the Net?

Jingni looked at Bai Yuan with a complicated expression. She didn't understand why he would go to such lengths for her.

"It's getting late, think it over carefully!"

Bai Yuan felt she had said enough; the rest was up to her to figure it out herself.

Whether Jing Ni agrees or not, the result is the same.
