Zhuo Xiao Xuan knew the codewords she yelled worked the moment she looked at You Ming because it came from the killer organisation the both of them were from in their previous life—Realm*; the founder of the organisation was called Du Bu**, and was an extremely arrogant person, else they wouldn't have a code phrase asc onceited as "I am unparalleled—supreme".
* 天下 = tian xia; all of Earth under the sky—the entire mortal realm
** 独步 = du bu; walks alone, as the person is unrivalled/unparalleled
You Ming stared at Zhuo Xiao Xuan donned in white cap with only her eyes and mouth revealed. Pausing in suspicion, he chose to stand still by Gao Zheng Ye, unmoving. When he saw her mouthing two words silently, he leapt over to her, ignoring Gao Zheng Ye's bellows behind him.
"You Ming." He read her lips. That was his code name from the organisation before he came to this world, one which he neither used, nor spoke of after coming to this world. However, this person knew their code phrase from Realm, and knew his code name from Realm; she was definitely someone from the Lille organisation as well!
When Zhuo Xiao Xuan saw him dashing at her, she immediately jumped backwards. There were too many people around here, as especially so as she was being watched by the Z organisation; she didn't want to reveal the fact that she knew martial arts, so she had to bring him to a secluded location.
The man lying on his belly on the slope didn't think that Zhuo Xiao Xuan would be able to lure out the skilled bodyguard beside Gao Zheng Ye with such a shocking code phrase. He knew that it was much more dangerous luring the skilled bodyguard away as compared to sniping Gao Zheng Ye, so he mentally saluted in the direction Zhuo Xiao Xuan left before speedily searching for Gao Zheng Ye's location. Gao Zheng Ye's shouts from previously had revealed his location, so all he had to do now was to finish him off in the shortest amount of time possible and give his comrade a hand in defeating that bodyguard.
After removing themselves from the masses' field of sight, Zhuo Xiao Xuan used her qinggong and shot off of the snow as though a meteor. The moment You Ming behind her saw the faint, almost non-existent footprint she left in her wake on the snow, his expression fell and his steps quickened.
Zhuo Xiao Xuan only stopped after the two of them was a long distance away from the masses, then she turned to look at You Ming.
You Ming asked lowly: "Who are you exactly?! What do you seek luring me all the way out?" When he was being chased by the other underworld organisation a few days before, the person that had fought him till he received internal injuries was also dressed as such, revealing only the eyes, and was as skilled. Even the figure of both person were very similar. When he gave more thought into get similar moves, he figured that both person were the same person. If it hadn't been the difference in figure, he'd have thought this person was her when he saw this person's similar moves.
Zhuo Xiao Xuan stretched to take off her hat, revealing her icy expression, "It's me."
When You Ming saw Zhuo Xiao Xuan's face, he was shocked beyond words. He stuttered: "Xiao... Xiao Ye... you..." How was this possible?! Though her face was the same, her figure was different! He'd never seen anything that could change a person's height or size. Was this perhaps the legendary art of rejuvenating one's youth?! How did she learn it?!
"Didn't think I was still alive?" Zhuo Xiao Xuan sighed in melancholy. Following that, her gaze hardened as she sent a cold gaze in the direction of You Ming, who was still wound flabbergasted upon seeing the revived An Ye. "Since I didn't die don't you think I living either!"
