The Killer's Cleansing Manual

Chapter 193 Discuss with me

A heavy snow fell and the Spring Festival arrived.

Red lanterns were hung outside the general's mansion, picking up the falling snow. When the wind blew, the undulating red lights came into view.

After changing into new clothes, Ye Xi went straight to the main house. Before she could knock on the door, Liu He opened the door from the inside and looked at her.

"Xi'er, good morning." Liu He smiled with his eyes curved.

Ye Xi's lips twitched slightly, and finally his gaze drifted to the pillars of the corridor: "Morning, change into some neat clothes, and let's go to the martial arts field."

Liu He was a little surprised: "What are you doing at the martial arts arena?"

Ye Xi curled her index finger and scratched the side of her face: "It's the New Year, have you prepared a New Year's wish for me?"

Liu He stepped aside and motioned her to come in and talk: "Even if it's not New Year's Day, I will accompany you no matter what you want to do."

Ye Xi couldn't deny that a small joy danced in her heart. She raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "Then I won't go in. You accompany me to the martial arts arena to spar with me."

As long as Ye Xi wanted to do it, Liu He didn't ask the reason. He immediately agreed, closed the door and followed Ye Xi to the martial arts field.

The snow on the road was already very thick. There was a slight crunching sound when the two of them stepped on the snow. The soft touch on the soles of their feet was very comfortable. The cold air blowing in their faces did not make them feel cold. Instead, after inhaling it into their lungs, they felt very awake.

"It's so beautiful." Liu He suddenly sighed. Noticing Ye Xi's questioning gaze, he smiled back at her, "Everything is white, pure. There's no blood, no charred charcoal from the overturned brazier. It seems everything is pure, isn't it?"

Ye Xi looked out into the distance, and at most he could see the walls of the General's Mansion. He shook his head slightly, "That's just what you said, covered by the snow. In reality, when has this land ever been free from fighting, killing, and plundering?"

Liu He felt that what she said made sense, and her admiration for Ye Xi increased. She calmed down, which made Ye Xi regret what she had just said.

Isn't that a bit of a downer? She finally expressed her love for something, and saying this would probably be a real setback for her.

After hesitating for a long time, Ye Xi took the initiative to bring up the topic: "Is there no snow in Nanman?"

After asking this question, she wanted to bite off her tongue - she had been in Ju'nan Pass for so many years and had never seen snow, so how could it be possible for it to snow?

Besides, she had clearly asked last time, and Liu He said, "I've never heard of anyone else," which made her suspicious.

How stupid! He couldn't even find an obvious topic to talk about. Doesn't it clearly show that he wanted to chat with her?

Liu He smiled and glanced at Ye Xi, not giving her any room to speak: "Xi'er, do you want to talk to me?"

Ye Xi, who had just finished scolding herself the previous second and was guessed the next second: "..."

"Hmm..." Even so, Liu He still thought about this question seriously, "There is no snow, at least I haven't seen it."

Ye Xi didn't know what to say. She still felt a little embarrassed: "Oh."

Liu He chuckled: "So this snow has a very special meaning to me."

Ye Xi murmured when she heard this: "It's the first time to see snow, so of course it feels novel." In her heart, she was still annoyed that she had just been too obvious about it.

Liu He shook her head: "It's more than that." She looked at Ye Xi, her affection full of love not intending to hide at all, just revealing it all so bluntly.

"It was because when I first saw snow, Xi'er was by my side, enjoying it with me, that I felt how precious it was."

Ye Xi paused slightly, and Liu He also stopped to wait for her. They were the first couple to walk this way, so they were the only two pairs of footprints left on the road.

"I even want to treasure these footprints."

Liu He sighed, and it sounded like he was really sorry that he couldn't collect all these footprints.

Ye Xi also looked back. The white snow seemed like a carpet spread on the path. The footprints where they walked were clear. After looking at it for a long time, it felt like they were accompanying each other.

Ye Xi couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable. She had never experienced love affairs before, and the most recent experience was the relationship between brother and sister-in-law. But in fact, she only saw He Qing's efforts, and Ye Lang did not cherish her.

Therefore, when she was suddenly faced with such sincere feelings, she was indeed moved and surprised, but also surprised and at a loss.

"...Snow will melt and cannot be preserved." She held it in for a long time before saying something that seemed even more stupid than the previous one, and then continued to hit her head in frustration.

Liu He's eyes seemed a little lonely, and he repeated Ye Xi's words: "Yes, the snow will melt, it can't be preserved."

This sentence didn't seem to provide adequate comfort. Ye Xi racked her brains to think of how to say something that wasn't so sad, but she couldn't think of one.

What's so good about preserving footprints?

No one would collect footprints because it’s impossible to do so... Never mind, that’s even worse.

still is……

Even after arriving at the martial arts arena, she still hadn't thought of a less depressing thought. Fortunately, Liu He's spirits had somewhat recovered. Looking at the weapons lined up on both sides of the arena, he asked Ye Xi, "Xi'er, which one do you want to spar with me?"

Ye Xi came to his senses and could only put the matter aside for the time being. He looked around and finally picked a spear.

She remembered that when she first fought Liu Tao, disguised as Liu He, at Jue Nan Pass, she had used a spear. After several rounds of fighting, Ye Xi could only manage a draw with her.

Liu He's spear skills were so varied and powerful that she was amazed.

Later, she was able to force Ye Lang back with a single spear strike from such a distance, mastering the spear's ferocity and agility to perfection. Therefore, today, she still wanted to learn from Liu He's spearmanship.

Liu He smiled faintly, and the gentleness in her eyes gradually faded the moment she grasped the spear in her palm. Since Ye Xi wanted to spar with her, she would definitely not let him win. This was the only way to show respect to Ye Xi.

And this is exactly what Ye Xi wants.

The two men took each side and deployed their battle formations. Liu He held his spear behind his back, deliberately exposing a frontal flaw, while Ye Xi took a bow step, gripped the spear tightly and attacked first!

His swift footsteps left no trace on the snow, quickly closing the distance between them. Liu He remained unmoved, his eyes fixed on Ye Xi's movements, the tip of his spear flashing with a cold light that seemed to be able to cut a snowflake in two.

The move of "Dragon Swimming Through Snow" was performed cleanly and neatly. Snowflakes were flying in the air, making him dazzled. Liu He saw the tip of the gun right in front of him.

She gripped the gun tightly, exerted force with her wrist, and pushed Ye Xi's gun tip away. Then she took a step forward, delivering the gun with her left hand and receiving it with her right hand, stabbing Ye Xi in the face.

Ye Xi quickly touched the ground with the tip of his gun, bent down to avoid the stab, and then used the inertia of turning around to swing the gun towards Liu He.

Liu He had anticipated this and moved sideways to block the gun in front of him. The few snowflakes on his eyelashes were shaken off by the collision.

Two people, one white and one pink, were fighting in the snow. If it weren't for the sound of weapons clashing, it would have looked like they were dancing from a distance.
