Shi Li silently remembered the steward's story in her heart, but she didn't want to expose everything in front of her for the time being, so she made the decision on her own and said to Shiwu with a smile: "Shi Wu? Or Shi Wu? What a coincidence, we both have the last name Shi, maybe we were a family hundreds of years ago!"

At this moment, it was hard to tell whether it was because the sunlight outside the window was too bright or the girl's smile was too bright, but Fifteen's heart moved slowly, and he could not bear to look at the girl again, so he lowered his head in panic.

"Noon, noon." Just like the sunshine at noon.

[It's heart-throb~ I can't hide my bad eyes~~~]

[This assassin is indeed quite simple, so it is a blessing from God that he is still alive today! ]

[Not only that, he even accidentally hugged the thickest thigh in the world! ]

So, nothing is better than a good life.

Shi Wu could never have imagined that the bright girl in front of him was actually the owner of the building who had the power of life and death over him.

After a brief heart palpitation, Shi Wu finally calmed down. He looked around the room quietly and concluded that Shi Li was not the daughter of a wealthy family. The assassin's cold heart softened a little.

Before meeting the right person, who could have thought that one would be love-brained?

"How much did it cost to buy the medicine?" Shi Wu finally looked at Shi Li's face again and asked this question very seriously.

This was something Shi Li had not expected, so she made up a random number, "Not much, less than 500 coins, they are just some common medicinal herbs..."

Before she finished her words, a heavy sword tassel fell accurately into her hand, with a thumb-sized white jade ornament tied to the tassel.

"Just pawn this, that should be enough." Shi Wu said, turning his head sideways.

He had gone out on a mission and did not have any extra money with him. Now that something had gone wrong in the mission, he could not return to Qianqi Tower until his injury healed. The sword tassel was still the only valuable thing he had with him.

Shi Li: ...

The acting seems a bit overdone.

She now felt like Huang Shiren of the old times, not only making his men risk their lives for him, but also acting to cheat others. It was really...

But if she revealed her identity or made up some other lies now, it would seem even more hateful.

Having deeply experienced what it means to "shoot oneself in the foot", Shi Li sighed silently.

"It's okay, I have a lot of sword tassels." Shi Wu thought that she was embarrassed to remain silent, so he took the initiative to speak up to help.

So, how did such a pure assassin come about? Is it really okay for such a person to carry out assassination missions?

Shi Li couldn't help but start complaining again. In order to avoid further escalation of the situation, she could only hold the sword tassel tightly and said, "Well, I'll pawn it first and redeem it later."

"Yeah." Shi Wu didn't say anything else, just agreed.

Shi Li walked out under the pretext of pawning something, and only heaved a sigh of relief after entering the yard. He looked down at the sword tassel, and a deep sense of guilt rose in his heart again.

The original owner inherited the position of OP from the previous OP.

The previous owner of the building was also a free and easy-going woman. Once when she went to the south of the Yangtze River, she picked up an abandoned baby in the rain. She felt that the baby had a special connection with her, so she brought the baby with her and raised him carefully. Later, she gave the Qianqi Tower, which she founded, to the baby and went on a free and easy journey.

The assassins of Qianqi Tower were all abandoned babies from all over the country or seriously ill children bought from human traffickers, who were brought back to be raised and taught skills.

Before, Shi Li thought that this was not a bad thing, at least Qianqilou gave them a way to survive. But after meeting Shi Wu, he felt that Qianqilou seemed too oppressive to them, like a landlord.

Thinking back to the sword tassel, Shi Li would not be so desperate as to pawn it, so he could only put it away properly. Then he went out for a walk, pretending that he had pawned the things, and bought some fresh vegetables and meat.

At least she could make Shi Wu eat better, otherwise she would feel even more guilty.

After buying them, Shi Li looked at the fresh ingredients and thought of a serious problem - how to cook this meal?

Although the original owner had been pretending to be an ordinary person, he would not do any other chores except pretending to wash clothes every day. He would secretly go out to buy good meals so that no one would find out.

But now, if she still does this, no matter how naive Shi Wu is, he will definitely be suspicious.

If she were to cook...

That is definitely patient abuse!

It’s really nerve-wracking…
