The Moon In Darkness
Ch.56 Agreement

"uh.my head is dizzy.." murmured An after sipping a little tea in front of him, now he is alone, the servants have also gone to do other things and left him.

An looked at the window blankly and said softly, "come here, isn't there something you want to tell me?"

Before long, a gentle breeze slowly entered through the narrow window gap and a man appeared wearing a robe right in front of him.

"this boy is greeting the fourth Miss, Miss Lian Wu, it's a pleasure to meet you." said the man respectfully as he bowed.

"get up, I feel uncomfortable with your attitude." replied An who then asked him to sit down together.

he's good, huh?' the inner girl when the man in front of her opened the robe, black eyes and long hair that had a similar color, her body was tall and dashing, although many scars on her body were still perfect.

also, suspicious.' continued An who was still watching the man from top to bottom.

"now what makes a man like you come to me?" tanyanya direct.

The man was stunned, but after a while he replied, "what's strange if a subordinate comes to see his superior?"

"what? since when did I make you my subordinate?" an replied while staring very cynically at the man.

"of course since you saved me." the man smiled sweetly at his leisure.

An annoyed clucked and replied with a slight threat, "should I just leave it to let you die huh? quickly tell me what you want, oh yes, you should also be aware of where you are and what your position is now."

The man fell silent again, he got up from the chair and approached An to salute him directly, "I am glad that you are a very sensitive person, Miss. I've come to you to offer you a cooperation."

"so that? what makes you think I'd be interested?"

he's pretty good, if I wasn't an ex-lion, I'd never know if he was a tiger.' An could not feel the air of his presence, either when he had not come until when he bowed before him.

"as a noble Miss who wants power, don't you have to have power first?" insinuate the man.

The girl grinned and raised next to her eyebrows, "then?"

"i can give it to you, whatever you want. As long as you can help me.." the man looked up slightly and looked into An's eyes.

"it may be too late, but introduce.. I'm Chen Yi, an assassin from the Clematis society in the North, it's an honor to meet you" he continued.

"North? ah.. ya.. How could an assassin like you be trapped in that shabby cage?" cela An sharply.

"i. was framed, and I want you to kill that person for me," Chen paused his speech as if to see more reactions than that.

"continue." said An directly as if he was interested in negotiations.

The man then laughed softly and slightly changed the subject, "i didn't expect that the rumors about you were so inversely proportional to the facts."

"a timid young lady, stupid and lacking any strength, is impressive" Chen added.

The girl could only let it go and asked to return to the original topic, a few minutes had passed, Chen had told her everything.

Starting from him who is a manless hitman comes to the North to find living expenses, trapped in a task that makes him constrained to one person. And you could say if the person has a weakness that can not be resisted by every subordinate, including Chen himself.

"the point is, the parasite is now in your heart, isn't it?" an asked as he held onto Chen's soft, scarred chest.

"really. I have tried various ways to remove this parasite, but the results are nil. As long as this animal is still in my body, I cannot be free from that person and must live in his shadow." Chen was somewhat embarrassed.

"then, after receiving parasites and payment for your duties, you were instead attacked by another assassin and sent to the Western Empire as a slave, ill-fated." he sneered at the girl and sat back down on the chair.

Chen could only nod and tidy up his clothes, waiting for the decision of the person before him.

"it's hard enough, if the information you got is correct, the person you're referring to is the important Northern person who always transacts with the Empire, Sul Hee.."

he was also one of the people who collaborated for the inter-pillar match in the North later. But, no matter how difficult it was. Nothing was impossible for me.' When he finished thinking about it, he smiled faintly and looked at Chen gently.

"this is a dangerous assignment, shouldn't you give me a down payment?" pinta An shamelessly, Chen who had gotten used to rushing reached into his pants pocket and gave an old note.

An received the note and instantly widened his eyes, "this..is true, there is an ancient level spirit beast in the Northern blood mountain?!"

"i also don't know, but if you look at the contents of that note, it's 98% likely to happen."

......[.Illusion Fox]......

...One of the celestial guards who was demoted from his status for violating the orders of gods, became one of the ancient beings that would not even be mentioned in history. Toying with and tricking fellows, he was revealed in a place full of ice and guarded by five statues of gods. A closed place that no creature can enter, locked in eternity and will never feel life....

guardian-level spirit beasts were revealed to be ancient-level, creatures that were not recorded in history. Isn't it thrilling?!' the girl was very happy.

"it's enough, let's make the deal!" exclaim An excited.

"before that, I had a few questions. Where did you get this record?"

"i sneaked into Madame Sul Hee's study and scrambled her drawers, among the non-essential documents. It seemed like he didn't even know if the note was there." Chen replied swiftly.

An nodded and asked back, "didn't you say the woman controlled the parasite? if he's smart, he'll try to damage your heart using the parasite to find out you're alive or dead."

Chen touched his chest slowly, right where his heart was beating fast right now, "since leaving from the North, this animal has not moved. No. to be more precise, he didn't move after those bondage people gave me a liquid."

"there was one day when the medicine ran out and I felt the chi churning, my body hot and constantly rebelling. But after they gave me the liquid again, my body gradually improved." continued the man, he then slashed his wrist slightly and showed a pitch-black blood on An.

An took a bit of Chen's blood using a finger and began to sniff his scent, "it's poison. Clematis flower poison, which is the food of the parasites in your heart, when was the last time you drank it?"

"the night was right before Miss came.."

"meaning you have to get medicine before nightfall, I don't want you to go berserk while running errands from me."

An then approached the table beside his bed and took out a pen and paper, he wrote something down there which he folded and gave to Chen.

"find that plant in the market, you've got to get it all. Once you can grunt and swallow, do not drink because the parasite loves water. It might hurt a bit, but you have to endure it, practice to forget the pain a little bit." An explained as he chose clothes to leave.

"once you're done, do what I wrote as your first assignment, don't let me down for the next 3 months."

Without any official documents or agreements on paper, the two men now make a pledge of allegiance to a trust. Although it will end after 3 months, does not the miracle always come without being asked?

Chen read the note carefully, he nodded his head in understanding and immediately departed after asking for permission to go carry out An's orders.

"it's a pity that he's a knight without a talented master. Well. I can't take an adventurer's freedom, can I?" muttered the girl who was now preparing for a way out.
