"So... cool!"
Those two had looked downright silly doing that, but Ning Chen praised them anyway, against his own conscience... He had no choice. He needed a favor.
Xie Siyu said coolly, "Linglong designed the move. I think it's cool too."
The corner of Ning Chen's mouth twitched. He glanced at Hua Linglong. Xie Siyu has led this silly girl completely astray.
Still lying through his teeth, he gave a thumbs-up. "Heroine Hua really is a woman of great talent... But in my humble opinion, it'd look even cooler if you didn't flip on the way down. More graceful, more effortless."
Xie Siyu turned to Hua Linglong. "We'll fix that later."

He'd bought too many and couldn't finish them.
Xie Siyu looked at Hua Linglong. "You have one."

He looked at Xie Siyu's cold face and couldn't help himself. "Brother Xie, have you forgotten who you are? You're the Eldest Brother of the Ghost-Shadow Sect, an assassin... What does being a hero of the jianghu have to do with you?"
Xie Siyu shot back coolly, "An assassin can't dream of being a hero?
I became an assassin to make money so I could be a hero."
Ning Chen was totally lost. "And what does making money have to do with being a hero?"
Xie Siyu looked at him with disdain. "You're so dumb. You don't understand anything."
Ning Chen: "..."
"Then please enlighten me, Brother Xie."
Xie Siyu said, "To be a hero of the jianghu, first you need money.
The greatest…
