Han Nian leaves a world for another, a violent desire burns in him to stand at the peak of martial arts and its world.
Teachings and values imbibed
forged him into a wreaker in the path of evil.
“ I was just lucky milady” Nian answered, helping Lei Cheng sit on the boulder which he sat on before.
“ I'm afraid I can't be an assassin, you would find me out just as easily as you did today” Ning'er said, walking past Nian and sitting on the boulder too.
“ the intent at which you threw the knife determines most, you threw it to save life, assassination is otherwise, this is why assassination is somewhat delicate in investigating” Nian answered, he gave her the knife and bowed.
“no need to so formal, we are both outer seeded disciples and from the wisdom in which you talk and the ways you weird your sword, you seem to come from a noble family, I just have this feeling that you are only trying to hide your identity!” she said.
“ sister Ning'er overestimates me too much” Nian answered.
“ come, sit here, we need to talk” Ning'er said, tapping the space beside her.
“eh!” Nian said, a bit shocked.

Lei Cheng, please give us some space” Ning'er said, excusing Lei Cheng.
Only two of them?, Nian blushed, wait is she going to ask him out now. pfft.
“why are you smiling?” she asked.
Nian came back to his senses.
“umm.... it's no... nothing” Nian said frowning again.
An Ning sighed.
Lei Cheng left them, going to stand at the back.
The both of them paused, the whole place silent for a moment.
“ so tell me, you were talking about the difference between assassination and otherwise ” Ning'er said breaking the silence.
“ I said the intent in which you used to throw your knife determines how to investigate, If it where assassination, it is only natural that the person wouldn't throw a knife that would reveal any form of identification, if he does, it is only natural that such identification is false, that is for a smart assassin, a novice may reveal traits of his real identity and it is very normal that when being confronted his first and foremost expression would be dread, the investigator must note that there is a difference between regular fear and dread, the investigator must also be able to distinguish between the both” Nian explained.
“ wisdom fill your words, I'm impressed” Ning'er said, applauding him
“you flatter me deliberately, this is but common sense” Nian said with a smile.
“ my brother is the king of brains, I have never seen anyone who is as smart as he is, I have told him several times that he has a bright future under the department of criminology but he just shoves me off tsk” Lei Cheng chimed in from behind them.
“were you eavesdropping on us ?!, is this how you treat your elders ?!” Ning'er said frankly as she turned back towards Lei Cheng, her tone a bit harsh.

Nian knew it wasn't necessarily harsh, she just wanted to scare him
Nian knew very well that he must maintain his composure now more than ever, she looked into his calm eyes, he looked back into hers, he saw a hint of disappointment, exactly, that was what he wanted, he knew why she appraised him, she wanted to see his reaction, perhaps he would feel proud and raise his ego,the beautiful Ning'er appraised him, any other boy could fall for it, those who fell for it were just the regular foolish boys who followed behind and were drooling after her but Nian didn't, he maintained his composure, looking as calm as ever as if it was the most normal thing if she appraised him.
Ning'er shook her head ready to say the main reason why she came - or maybe not, perhaps she would beat around the bush a little.
“ your brother might be a bit crazy but you are lucky to have him.“ Ning'er said.
Nian smiled.
“i know ” Nian answered
“this is the advantage we low classes have, such sincerity is scarce amongst the nobles” Nian answered.
“ you mean you do not want to be a noble then ?” Ning'er said.
Nian sighed.
“ destiny is hard to change!” Nian answered blankly.
“ I am I noble too, you mean I'm not sincere too?” Ning'er asked.
Nian closed his eyes and sighed again.
“i can't say, you were born amongst them, although I do not say all of them are not sincere but you in particular are very beautiful and this would cause envy amongst your peers including in your family, you grew in this manner of being envied and appraised by everyone, if these things do not infiltrate and stain your heart then you are really a pure heart sent from heaven” Nian said, packing his fallen white hair back.
“ you .... tsk, I wanted to tell my father to help you find a super class master to aid you in training but you've pissed me off, humph!” Ning'er said, she folded her arms and threw her head to the other side.
“ Super class master?!, did I just hear you say super class master !!” Lei Cheng chimed in again.
“ HOW DARE YOU EAVESDROP WHEN YOUR ELDERS TALK!!!” Ning'er roared angrily, towering over him and kicking him so hard that he went flying.

“pfftt, your sister-in-law-to-be is quite short tempered” Nian thought, covering his mouth to prevent her for seeing him laugh.
In an instant everything became like it was before again, Nian cleared his throat.
“ miss Ning'er, telling your father to help me is called generosity and kindness, these are not the same with sincerity, they are different things. although the former could be used to prove the latter but it does not mean they are the same, miss Ning'er you have a very pure heart and the world is full of very plenty people, this you must know, never mistake the former for the latter, or else your naivety would be taken advantage of” Nian said and sighed.
