Assassin Farmer Chapter 77: How Have You Been

Chapter 77

That night, the moons crescent was like a fishhook hanging from the sky.

The soft moonlight washed against the cobblestone courtyard like a thin veneer of silver paint.

It wasnt until she had succumbed to his persistent cravings and fallen asleep, did Lin Si Yao clean both of their bodies. When he was done, he pulled her into his embrace and closed his eyes to rest.

His eyelids fluttered open just a re two hours later. Lin Si Yao stepped out of the house. Under Xiao Chun and Xiao Xues watchful gaze, he disappeared into the ominous dusk in re steps.

We havent seen each other for a year, how can you still be so stoic?! The masked man, dressed in full black, perfectly balancing on a bamboo shoot at the foot of Xiu Feng. He faced the rapidly approaching Lin Si Yao. Though his words were polite, his tone carried a surprising amount of coldness, as if he was greeting from the underworld.

All has been well Lin Si Yao was only wearing his white inner-robe, rested upon the tip of a bamboo leaf, keeping his distance. Under the chilly moon, his robes billowed in the breeze as if he were an immortal.

Youve changed Si Ling. The man in black uttered a seemingly witless statent, along with a sigh.

Si Ling has passed. Lin Si Yaos cold, clear voice cut through the wind. He was now Lin Si Yao, a lowly farr in the town of Fan Hua.

That day I never would have guessed you were still alive. The man in black stared at Lin Si Yao before saying, Did you break through?

His thoughtless question didnt make Lin Si Yao hesitate. He nodded, and his voice pierced through the entire bamboo forest: Thats right. If you still want my life, Im sorry to say that youll be disappointed.

Wrong. I, Si Tuo, never try again after failing once. The man in black was a Feng Yao Court operative who was second only to Si Ling.

If thats how it is, then why did you co tonight? Lin Si Yao was already turning away before he could finish his sentence, preparing to leave. As for why, as long as his woman wasnt in danger, he honestly wasnt interested at all.

Ive co to see how the fabled killing god has been reduced to a simple lovebird! His voice carried a teasing tone that caused Lin Si Yaos body to stiffen. With one leap, he leapt out of the forest.

If you have so much ti, why dont you go and ask Feng Qingya for more missions? Lin Si Yaos gritting reply echoed from the distance.

Hahaha Si Tuo couldnt hold back his amusent. His crackles broke the nights serenity and soared to the skies above.

At the ti the courtyards door was firmly knocked upon in a rhythm, Su Shuilian was working on a newly assigned piece of embroidery.

A few days ago, Jiang Yangyun sent Xicui as a ssenger to tell her that there was a client from Jindu City who wanted to commission her. The was a half-ter wide and one-ter long piece. The three-month deadline was generous, so Su Shuilian accepted it imdiately. Yesterday afternoon, Jiang Yangyun sent one of the embroidery floors n to send a sample of the draft as well as materials to her.

After he finished breakfast, Lin Si Yao carried his farming tools down to the field to plant soybeans and corn. Su Shuilian sat at her desk and prepared the needles and thread that she was about to use.

It was then the door sounded.

Who could you be asking for? Su Shuilian asked politely. Ever since the Lu Waner incident, Lin Si Yao repeatedly reminded her to never open the door freely when she was ho alone.

My na is Si Shan, Im Si Yaos colleague. The voices tone emanating from the other side was just as clear and cold as Lin Si Yaos.

When Su Shuilian heard that it was Lin Si Yaos colleague, she thought that hed co to visit him. She opened the door, and a cold, handso face befitting to the voice she heard peered through the crack.

Hello, Saozi*. It was slightly awkward as it was Si Shans first ti eting Su Shuilian. He repressed his initial surprise as he bowed and greeted her.

*sister-in-law

Hello Oh, A Yao hasnt co back from the field yet. Um, You Su Shuilian felt a bit awkward. Normally, she would invite him to sit in the house for a cup of tea while waiting for Lin Si Yaos return, but although he looked polite, a feeling of danger made her hesitate.

Field? Si Shan paused. Suddenly, it dawned on him. This was a village, what else could the hoe be used for, killing people? He now understood why Si Tuo had that annoying and punchable expression on his face when he ca back last night. Pfft An assassin, plowing a field? Wow, hahaha, that would be the joke of the century!

Su Shuilian was unsure how to react as the man in front of her seed to be repressing his expression.

*Cough* Um, Saozi, could you bring inside to wait for him? Si Zha tried to keep down his gushing smile. He happily looked at the woman in front of him; she looked extrely similar to soone on the imperial search list that he had seen a few days ago.

Apologies, right away. Su Shuilian smiled as she led him into the main hall.

He followed her closely, scanning the yard when his eyes stopped at the large-bellied dog sprawled on the ground. He paused for a mont, and Si Shans eyebrows jumped. Ha they seem to be nursing a pregnant wolf? Did Si Ling catch it from the woods? He grinned. Farr what a joke!

Though she had many different threads by her hand as she was facing the Bodhisattvas Son sample, a large part of Su Shuilians focus was still on the man who alleged that he was A-Yaos colleague.

Once she served him a pot of aromatic black herbal tea and two plates of pastry cakes, Si Shan gestured for her to go back to whatever she was doing.

How? Su Shuilian smiled as she returned to her embroidery room and picked up her threads. She had no intention of interrupting the Si Shan who was sipping tea and eating snacks while sizing up the furniture and decorations of the main hall.

How could such an assassin god be living as a farr in such a lowly village? The reality was frightening.

If not for loitering for a few days with Si Tuo in Fan Luo City, they would not have bumped into Si Lings custom jade plate in a shop. Nor had later, heard rumors of a person breaking soones bone with the tap of a finger. If not for Si Tuos insistence on digging deeper to find out the truth, they would have missed out the chance to et Si Ling as they were leaving for the West on a mission soon.

But it just seed too bizarre to him and Si Tuo. How could a fatal wound not only result in full recovery, but also a breakthrough within a years ti? What did this an to them, who hadnt slacked on a day of training ever? It was a slap to the face.

As he observed the inconspicuous yet exquisite decorations around the room and thought of the gentle and quiet lady next door. He thought, Si Ling must be living life as peacefully as it could ever be.

But them? He and Si Tuo danced with blades and swam in blood all throughout the year. They never thought of the future, because assassins had no future. Todays survival could end with tomorrows death, and that possibility had long since been engraved in their hearts.

However, looking around him, a tiny sliver of hope started to grow in Si Shans heart.

Could he dream of a day where he lays down his blades and restart just as Si Ling had? Living off of a plot of field, a cabin, and a courtyard, spending his days peacefully?

He smiled bitterly and shook his head. How ridiculous. That he had let himself daydream in this sweetly-scented and soft-colored room.

It was at this mont, Xiao Chuns greeting whimper sounded from outside the cabin.

Su Shuilian stood up with a swoosh. Finally, A Yao had co ho. She could finally relieve her unsettled heart. After all, being with a male stranger under the sa roof alone had put quite so pressure on her.

A Yao, youve co back. Su Shuilian passed Si Shan who was just getting up, and dashed out of the cabin. Just as she entered the courtyard, Lin Si Yao smiled as he set down his farming tools.

Mm. Lin Si Yao nodded, and was surprised that her tone carried relief. He furrowed his brows, and with a instant, he placed Su Shuilian behind him, guarding her.

He faced Si Shan, who was just coming out of the cabin. Great, one after the other, was his house a bar or sothing, allowing people to co and go as they please?

Long ti no see. Si Shans lips curved upwards upon seeing Si Lings shielding movent. He threw out a greeting that held just about the sa value as garbage.

Then, a look of surprise lit up his lifeless face. Was the man in front of him really the old assassin god, Si Ling? With a brown peasants robe, rolled up sleeves, and mud-caked deerskin boots, there was no sign of the assassin of the old besides his cold face and unwary eyebrows!

Indeed. Lin Si Yao knew that the normally elusive Si Shan was led here by Si Tuos loose mouth. When had these people grown to beco like gossiping old won!

It seems that youre doing well here. This was unnecessary talk.

Si Shan folded his arms, unfazed by the coldness Lin Si Yao was showing him.

Of course, after being hunted down by the Feng Yao Court and almost dying, it was already great that he had not raised a weapon against him. How could he hope for a warm welcoming embrace?

Furthermore, assassins were cold and emotionless anyways. What was the need for an overreaction? Oh, Si Ling was already an exception.

Its all thanks to you. Lin Si Yaos eyes scanned him, and he didnt mind him further. He led Su Shuilian into the kitchen.

A Yao, is this really okay? Su Shuilian prepared a pot and cup of warm water in the kitchen for him to wash his hands in. She then handed him a soft towel to dry his hands in. She stole a glance outside towards Si Shan, who was in a staring contest with Xiao Chun in the yard. Werent they junior and senior brothers from the sa school? Why did it seem strange, did they not share a close brotherly connection?

Dont mind him. Lin Si Yao spoke dryly. Since he had already let Feng Qing Ya go, he wasnt going to antagonize Si Tuo and the others.

However, that didnt an he forgave them, and it surely didnt an that he would welco them.

Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
