In the Great Qin Dynasty, I, the Unruly Commander, begin by dual-cultivating with Yan Ling Ji.

On the outskirts of Xianyang, Ying Ziqing rode his horse at a leisurely pace with Jing Ni along a sparsely populated road.

Farmers are working diligently in the fields beside the road.

Looking at Jing Ni, whose body was tense and who remained silent,

Ying Ziqing suddenly spoke:

"Miss Ni'er, if none of this had happened, how would you want to live in this world?"

Jingni's expression was perfectly calm. She glanced at the village with wisps of smoke rising from its chimneys in the distance and said softly:

"If none of this had happened, I think I would have been an ordinary village woman, found a man, had a child, been a good wife and mother, and lived a life of seclusion amidst nature. Of course, my life is good now, especially after meeting you, young master."

Jingni smiled, and although it was an act, it was still breathtakingly beautiful.

Ying Ziqing remained silent. For the True Spirit Ancestor, who could clearly hear the heartbeat of others, he could tell whether someone was lying in an instant.

The first half of Jing Ni's statement was her true thought, while the second half was naturally false.

It seems that Jing Ni at this point is probably already tired of this life of fighting and killing, living amidst the blades.

Jing Ni was actually a woman with a tragic fate.

In the original novel, after completing her mission to assassinate Lord Xinling in the State of Wei, she, as a top-tier assassin, was utterly weary of this kind of life.

He took the opportunity to escape while accepting his next mission, attempting to break free from the net completely.

However, the seven kingdoms were vast, and the Net of spies was everywhere.

No matter how skilled she was in martial arts, where could she escape to? In the end, pregnant, she had no choice but to submit to Tian Meng.

But in the end, he still couldn't escape the pursuit of the Net.

Therefore, the domineering Ying Ziqing decided to give Jing Ni a chance. After all, he still had a Heart-Eating Gu in his hand, and whether or not to use it was just a matter of a moment's thought.

Following the marks left by the Soul Extinction and Soul Transfer, Ying Ziqing and Jing Ni arrived at a hillside, where a lush forest stretched out below.

The Soul-Destroying and Spirit-Transforming warrior stopped his horse and waited there.

Ying Ziqing dismounted and carried the "injured" Jing Ni down with her.

Ying Ziqing stood at the very front of the hillside, looking down at the endless mountains and forests below, and nodded:

"This is indeed a good place to test recruitment."

But before that, he needs to have a heart-to-heart talk with Jing Ni.

He turned to look at Jing Ni, his hands behind his back.

He said calmly, "Miss Ni'er, or Jing Ni, I think we can have a good talk."

Upon hearing Ying Ziqing mention her code name, Jing Ni's pupils constricted sharply.

As a top-tier assassin, she didn't question why she had been exposed; instead, she immediately launched an assassination attempt on her target.

Without the slightest hesitation, she flicked her wrist, and two short swords appeared in her hand.

The late-stage Innate Realm internal energy was no longer concealed, but was unleashed with full force, aimed directly at Ying Ziqing's heart.

Ying Ziqing was not surprised at all by Jing Ni's sudden assassination attempt; instead, she showed a pained expression.

“Ni’er, I never expected that you would not hesitate at all when you tried to assassinate me.”

Ignoring Ying Ziqing's interference, Jing Ni thrust her short sword straight at Ying Ziqing.

Ying Ziqing stood still without dodging. When the blade of the short sword touched Ying Ziqing's body, it was as if it had struck a meteorite from outer space, unable to penetrate even an inch. A faint golden light covered Ying Ziqing's body, which was hidden under his robe.

This is the power of the Diamond Sutra at its initial stage, which can completely ignore any attack from a true spirit.

Feeling the recoil from the short sword, Jing Ni decisively retreated. She hadn't expected Ying Ziqing to be such a hidden master.

After retreating several dozen steps, Jing Ni turned to look at the Soul Extinction and Spirit Transformation beside her. She said coldly:

"The plan has changed. Follow me to assassinate the target."

With one late-stage Innate Realm expert and two mid-stage Innate Realm assassins, even a peak Innate Realm martial artist would have a high chance of being assassinated.

To her shock, instead of attacking Ying Ziqing, Miehun Zhuanpo drew his sword and aimed it at Jing Ni, blocking her retreat from behind.

"you……"

Ying Ziqing wore a faint smile.

"Don't be surprised, I have already controlled the two of them with the Heart-Eating Gu."

Jingni's heart sank upon hearing this.

Now he has no Jingni Sword in his hand and is surrounded by three innate masters.

It seems we won't be able to get out of this hillside today...

Jing Ni's killing intent intensified, her beautiful eyes fixed on Ying Ziqing, preparing to deliver the final blow as an assassin.

Just as Jing Ni suddenly erupted, charging towards Ying Ziqing with a resolute glint in her eyes,

As soon as Ying Ziqing had a thought, the world lost its color, and a thunderclap suddenly resounded in the sky.

An overwhelming and terrifying aura pressed down on Jing Ni.

Jing Ni felt as if she could not move an inch, as if she were being rejected by the entire world.

The short sword fell to the ground with a thud.

And that graceful, delicate body knelt down on the ground.

Ying Ziqing raised her hand, and three Huayang needles instantly pierced Jing Ni's acupoints, dissipating all of her late-stage innate internal energy.

Feeling the internal energy within her body vanish without a trace, Jingni closed her eyes, a sense of peace and relief appearing on her beautiful face.

"I don't know what death feels like... This is how my life ends..." Jing Ni murmured, preparing to face death.

However, Ying Ziqing leaned down, lifted Jing Ni's chin, raised an eyebrow, and asked calmly:

"Can you speak properly now?"

Jingni opened her beautiful eyes and asked in surprise:

"You won't kill me?"

"When did I say I wanted to kill you? But if it were anyone else, their death would have been sealed the moment they swung their sword at me."

But you're different. Do you remember the question I asked you earlier?

Jingni glanced at Ying Ziqing hesitantly and gave a soft "hmm".

"How about we make a deal? I'll help you escape the net, and you'll stay by my side for two years." Ying Ziqing looked at Jing Ni with pure eyes.

Seeing Ying Ziqing's composed expression, Jing Ni fell silent.

She knew what that meant, but escaping the snare was her deepest desire.

Ying Ziqing was not in a hurry and waited quietly for Jing Ni's answer.

After a long silence, Jing Ni spoke, her voice cold and clear:

How can you guarantee that I can successfully escape the trap?

Ying Ziqing smiled slightly upon hearing this and said casually:

"Because I will destroy the net."

Jing Ni's first reaction was disbelief, but looking into Ying Ziqing's eyes, she recalled his unparalleled domineering manner just now.

Jingni ultimately had no choice but to believe.

She performed the etiquette due to a wife or concubine for Ying Ziqing.

His tone was somewhat stiff, clearly indicating that he was not yet used to everything that was happening.

"Jingni greets Young Master."

Ying Ziqing reached out and helped Jing Ni up, raising an eyebrow.

"From now on, I'll still call you Ni'er, but I'll have to change the tone."

"Yes, ma'am," Jingni said somewhat nervously.

Although she can naturally exude that delicate feeling when performing, she is still not quite used to it when actually doing it.

My first online debut is tomorrow, and I'm already getting nervous! The fate of this book and the author hinges on the data from that debut. I hope all you handsome guys who like this book will support it as much as you can! (??w?) Hehe
