My diary of transcendence from the heavens

Chapter 68 67. I would rather die for my small family and protect everyone, a gentleman’s promise [5k monthly vote requested]

Zhao Xuanqi couldn't sleep in the middle of the night.

Maybe it's because today's top pick in high school can show off his talents and do what he wants to do in the future, including repaying those who have helped him, so he is so excited that he can't sleep.

He wanted to calm down and sleep peacefully, but the more he wanted to sleep, the more he couldn't sleep.

So, he sat up, simply picked up the books on the bookshelf, and read aloud. When he was tired from reading, he naturally felt sleepy.

suddenly,

The door to the room was opened.

The man is short in stature, about 1.5 meters tall. He is wearing a black short shirt and looks crisp and clean.

The door was closed again by the man's backhand.

Zhao Xuanqi looked over and happened to meet the man's eyes and the sword in his hand.

The first impression this man gives is that he is short.

Second impression is cleanliness.

"Something happened!"

Zhao Xuanqi immediately came to his senses.

It was definitely an accident!

These days, for his own safety, he went to the martial arts hall to hire a few warriors to patrol day and night for personal protection.

Even in broad daylight, it is impossible for outsiders to cross the yard and enter the room.

However, the time period we are in now is midnight, and someone breaks into the room in the middle of the night. It is definitely an accident!

The man also held a sword in his hand, most likely sent by those who hated him to assassinate him!

When you gain some fame and wealth, you will also be marked with a certain label. Enemies in the darkness will slowly appear when you don't know it, giving you a fatal blow.

He immediately became alert, put the book on the table, slowly stepped back, and took out a one-meter-long self-defense stick from under the bed.

"May I ask, brother, what's the point of coming here in the middle of the night? We have something to talk about."

Zhao Xuanqi spoke loudly, but the courtyard outside the room was as quiet as a pool of stagnant water. His heart sank completely. Most of the guards outside were dead.

They were all killed by the short man in front of them!

Is this martial arts?

This man has powerful martial arts?

Is martial arts so magical?

"I came here in the middle of the night, and naturally I came to kill you." Bai Ren slowly approached Zhao Xuanqi.

Zhao Xuanqi did not hesitate to fight back with a wooden stick. However, under the man's sword, the long wooden stick was cut off in sections like tofu cubes.

Finally, the long sword was pointed steadily at Zhao Xuanqi's throat, stopping less than one centimeter away.

As a powerless scholar, Zhao Xuanqi could only raise his hands to show that he would no longer resist.

Breaking into a cold sweat.

Zhao Xuanqi was so close to death for the first time.

This is the first time he has come into close contact with the God of Death in all the time he has been in this world.

As long as the man's sword advances one or two centimeters more, his throat will bloom, bursting with bright red blood, and all the hard work over the years will be in vain.

I was extremely scared.

But Zhao Xuanqi knew that fear was useless. Now he could only gain a chance of survival by calming down as quickly as possible and thinking about countermeasures.

He calmed down, his eyes were not timid, but he looked directly at the man and said: "I don't think you want to kill me, otherwise you would have chopped me off with a sword. If you have something to say, I can satisfy you whatever you want." "

Although Zhao Xuanqi has nothing now, he has obtained the title of No. 1 Scholar and will definitely be reused by the emperor. Now he can naturally write a blank check as he pleases.

Who would have known that with these words, the man actually threw away the sword in his hand. He sat directly on the chair next to him and did not continue to do anything.

Zhao Xuanqi was confused by this scene.

Is this guy seeking wealth or power?

He plucked up the courage and sat across from the man.

We can't run away anyway, so we might as well face it bravely.

Bai Ren's eyes were bright and he praised: "You are worthy of being the number one scholar today, and you are worthy of being the number one among the four sects. Your courage and courage are rare in my life."

Zhao Xuanqi asked: "What on earth are you here for?"

Bai Ren replied: "I have been ordered by several adults to kill you, but as you can see, I am unwilling to kill you."

Zhao Xuanqi looked at the man in surprise.

Before Zhao Xuanqi could speak, Bai Ren's eyes were dull and he continued to speak calmly:

"Don't worry, I didn't lie to you, I really won't kill you."

"I just want you to know that I exist, at least to know that there are people who die silently for you. I hope you can realize your great ideal!"

Zhao Xuanqi was completely confused: "Die for me? Fulfill your great ideal?"

Is this man a mystery man? Just say some unintelligible things.

Bai Ren directly explained what was in his mind: "You can call me the best assassin in the world, or you can call me Bai Ren."

"You don't need to know my past, you just need to know that my mission tonight is to kill you."

"If I don't kill you, then those adults will kill all my wife, children, and children."

"And I particularly like my wife. My wife is everything to me. Once my wife dies, I will not survive. After I go back tonight, I will go home and commit suicide with my wife. We will die together." Let my wife and children leave this world alone, and I will always be with them, even if I die."

"Do you think this counts as me dying for you? My entire family died for you."

Zhao Xuanqi was silent and asked: "Why do you do this? We don't know each other at all, you don't owe me any favors, and I have no friendship with you. Are you going to do this for a stranger like me?"

Judging from the man's words, as long as this man kills himself, nothing will happen, but he seems unwilling.

Even if it means death, this man seems unwilling to kill himself.

Bai Ren looked at Zhao Xuanqi seriously, as if fire was erupting in his eyes.

He showed a nostalgic look and said slowly:

"I was born into a poor family and encountered a famine. A wealthy family raised the price of food and monopolized rice. Countless poor people starved to death. My parents both died of hunger in the famine."

"If I hadn't met the master, I might have died when I was four years old."

"Then I started practicing martial arts non-stop, practicing various assassination techniques, single needle poison gas and poison, and various insidious killing moves."

"From that time on, I had hatred in my heart towards aristocratic families and all kinds of corrupt officials. This hatred supported my progress, became my motivation to become stronger, and became my motivation to survive, so I finally achieved success The best assassin in the world."

"After I came down from the mountain, I killed countless people, all of them evil people. I didn't kill any unnecessary people indiscriminately until I met my wife..."

"She is a beautiful and gentle person, and she comes from a small family. She was supposed to marry another man, but she was robbed of her marriage by a wealthy family. On the wedding day, several children from a wealthy family broke into the wedding room and raped her in front of her husband. His face was defiled, and her husband was killed."
