I Will Live for Your Death (20 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 166
The innkeeper’s eyes narrowed. He stood still for a moment, looking down at Ilyd, then—seemingly having made up his mind—pulled over a chair and sat down beside her. Such an unusual sight immediately drew everyone’s attention without exception.
“Ah, what are you gawking at! Get back to work!”
Noticing the crowd’s stares, the innkeeper barked out loudly. Everyone quickly pretended not to care, looking away awkwardly at his harsh tone. Judging by the tavern’s shifting atmosphere, it was clear that in situations like this, sharing a drink usually loosened tongues.
“I’ll buy you a drink.”
“Well, now that’s welcome news.”
The innkeeper didn’t refuse the offer. A new glass was soon placed before them. While Ilyd took a few sips, the innkeeper downed his drink in one go. Both of them pretended indifference, waiting quietly until the crowd refocused on their food and drinks.
“The Ashen Hawks are always recruiting members—regardless of occupation or social standing.”
His voice cut clearly through the tavern’s clamor. Though rumored to be a secret organization, they recruited openly at all times. Something felt odd about that.
“There must be people who join merely out of curiosity… If loyal nobles or members of the Imperial Guard infiltrated under false pretenses, the group would collapse in an instant.”
“I’ve worried about that myself. Yet strangely enough, nothing’s happened in years. Had there been any internal betrayal, the Ashen Hawks would’ve been destroyed long ago.”
“…Do they perhaps investigate applicants thoroughly right after accepting them?”
“That, I wouldn’t know.”
The innkeeper gave a light shrug. He genuinely seemed unaware. Did they dig into applicants’ backgrounds after recruitment and discreetly eliminate suspicious individuals? Ilyd suppressed a shiver crawling up her arm.
“If they really do vet people so meticulously, it’s astonishing. How could they possibly deduce anything from the information submitted alone?”
“As for information…”
Male lead reborn without memories — but he still falls for her.
The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
