Wei Xinglu said softly, "The reason why he acted like that was because he was afraid that you would be upset. That's why he pretended to be calm. Didn't you see that after we flew into the sky, he sat down on the ground? That's because the power that supported him has been used up. He really can't control his emotions … How can a powerful practitioner fall to the ground for no reason? Don't tell me you didn't feel it at all?! "
Gugu bit her lip, almost to the point of bleeding, but she still said stubbornly, "It's a good thing that he knows his place. We're from two different worlds. Even if he's delusional, what's the use?"
Wei Xinglu chuckled bitterly.
Little girl, you're so stubborn. Do you really think I can't see that you're upset?
Thus, he stopped talking.
Along the way, Gugu sat on the hawk's back, motionless and silent all the way.
The hawk pierced through the clouds and flew towards the Empire of Dongxuan like a sharp arrow.
...
"They're finally gone!" Yun Yang, who looked extremely dispirited, sprung up from the ground and guffawed, "I'm so tired these few days. My face is stiff from all the smiling …"
Lao Mei chuckled and said, "But young master's acting these few days is indeed very useful. You killed the enemy and borrowed their strength to fight them. If it wasn't for Wei Xinglu's unexpected help, I'm afraid it would be difficult to successfully eliminate He Hanqing …"
Yun Yang smiled faintly and said, "This is really a coincidence. I didn't include him in the killing plan but without his participation, it would be really difficult to take down Supreme Lord Spring Frost!"
"I'm afraid there's a follow-up between these two. I saw that Lady Gugu's attitude towards young master had obviously changed a lot when she left just now," Lao Mei sighed softly and said.
Yun Yang kept quiet for a while and said, "There's no way to think about what to do next now … Although we've killed He Hanqing now, the internal and external troubles haven't improved much. The School of Spring and Autumn is also a colossus that we can't afford to offend. If it were according to my previous personality … this time, it would definitely be a stalemate. Once the situation gets out of control, it'll be out of control."
"Even if we can kill them here, we won't be able to keep the eagle. The School of Spring and Autumn's revenge will come one after another, and we'll be completely exposed. The School of Spring and Autumn alone won't be able to handle it. What's more, there's still the Four Seasons Tower eyeing us. We're not completely flawless in the past. Any hint of association can lead to countless follow-up events … "
"I don't have enough strength right now, so I can only use this trick to make myself safer."
Yun Yang said faintly, "I'm afraid there's still a long way to go."
Lao Mei nodded but he sighed in his heart. Young Master, what you've done has helped you overcome a crisis and successfully used the opponent's martial arts to achieve your goal. However, you've also touched the heart of a young girl …
Don't tell me you don't feel anything?
If Lady Gugu had been hating Yun Yang from the beginning, it would not have been a big deal.
But if by any chance … to this young lady, it would be an extremely cruel matter!
Lao Mei kept these words in his heart and did not say them out loud.
Perhaps, the young master did not mind this at all?
After all, both of them were completely different in terms of identity, background, and stance. The chances of them being together were extremely rare, almost negligible!
This sentiment could only be left to time.
It had to be said that Lao Mei's thoughts were exactly the same as Eldest Senior Brother Wei's.
…
Yun Yang returned to the flowering tree and brewed a pot of tea. He boiled the water slowly and watched the steam rise with a calm smile on his face.
The flowering tree was green and dotted with red flowers. The shadows of the tree swayed with the wind, the fragrance of the flowers wafting and the fragrance of the tea lingering in the air. The young master was like jade, his purple robe fluttering.
He was like a man in a painting.
Lao Mei watched for a while before he finally sighed and went about his own business.
Sensing that Lao Mei had left, Yun Yang slumped to the ground in an indolent manner, watching the water bubbling and boiling. He recalled Gugu's unusual silence before she left, and sighed softly and leisurely.
Night fell.
A gust of eerie ghastly fog entered the Residence of Yun soundlessly.
As Yun Yang brewed the tea and waited, a silhouette in hemp garments and a tall crown appeared before him as if it had appeared out of thin air.
First Court King Qinguang.
He had finally arrived.
What should come would eventually come. The mission was set and completed. It was time to end this matter!
Yun Yang could not help but chuckle when the ghastly fog appeared.
Yun Yang could not help but chuckle at such a unique entrance; it was too obvious.
It also highlighted the other party's identity!
To someone who was used to the eerie atmosphere, the ghastly fog was only vague and transparent, nothing more. Moreover, the owner of this ghastly fog had brought him good news!
"What are you laughing at? Do you know that you're about to be doomed? "First Court King Qinguang said coldly with a dark expression.
He and his brothers had put in a lot of effort this time, especially himself. He had risked his life and almost lost his life just to work for this child.
Finally, when everyone was half-dead from exhaustion, this guy appeared by himself, cut off the target's head, and took it away …
What the f * ck was this?
Was this still considered as a completed mission?
Although First Court King Qinguang did not see who had killed He Hanqing in the end, he could confirm that the one who had killed He Hanqing was Yun Yang himself based on such an elusive and untraceable method.
There was no need to even think about it.
Furthermore, Emperor Song, who was the most meticulous and observant, had pointed out straightforwardly that a Gold-ranked assassin from the Concourse of the Underworld was suspected to have contributed to the last wave of attack. Other than the Concourse of the Underworld's headquarters, only Yun Yang had a former Gold-ranked assassin from the Concourse of the Underworld by his side!
In other words, the Four Seasons Tower might very well determine that the one who had taken the life was still the Concourse of the Underworld's men based on this. Although this did not go against the Concourse of the Underworld's original intention, it was still a scapegoat for someone else. The feeling of being the scapegoat and being the scapegoat for someone else was different. It was not a good feeling at all!
As the person in charge of this mission, First Court King Qinguang was infuriated when he saw Yun Yang's handsome grin despite having gotten what he deserved, so he mocked him immediately.
"Seeing that you're here, I know that you've completed your mission. How can I not be happy that I've gotten rid of a major threat? "Yun Yang was gentle and refined, but it only made him angrier.
First Court King Qinguang's expression darkened further.
"He Hanqing is dead," First Court King Qinguang said with a snort.
The mission had been completed, but the routine report was still necessary. This was the main purpose of today's trip!
"I know."
Yun Yang said, "His head is in my secret chamber now. Although I'm the one who beheaded him in the end, without the Concourse of the Underworld's all-out effort and the arrival of ten Yama Kings, this plan wouldn't have succeeded. I owe you a favor!"
First Court King Qinguang said, "So, the deal between both parties has been confirmed and completed. Other than explaining this to you, I'm also bidding you farewell. We have to rush back to the Concourse of the Underworld to arrange the follow-up."
Yun Yang said, "It's not too late to bid farewell later. I believe that everything in He Hanqing's residence, including the items in the secret chamber, must be in your hands."
First Court King Qinguang rolled his eyes and said, "The most valuable item that He Hanqing carried with him has fallen into your hands. Why are you still concerned about the details? Are you really so poor that you've gone mad?"
Yun Yang chuckled. "Not so poor that I've gone mad. How about I buy those items from you at a high price?"
First Court King Qinguang snorted and said, "What high price can a pauper like you offer? It's just a few items, we'll give them to you."
"Why are you so generous?" Yun Yang was genuinely surprised this time.
In Yun Yang's mind, the worst that could happen was that the Concourse of the Underworld would condemn him forcefully after confirming that the mission had been completed. It was not impossible for them to gang up on him and kill him. After all, the Concourse of the Underworld could very well guess his identity.
The Concourse of the Underworld had thoroughly offended the Four Seasons Tower this time, but with the Nine Supremes' Supreme Cloud's life as compensation and the fact that they had been tricked, they could completely erase the grudge between them and the Four Seasons Tower!
Not only did they not condemn them, they were even willing to give their gains to them for free. This transaction of theirs would be a huge loss. Although Yun Yang was a black-hearted gigolo, his skin was as thick as a city wall, he was still filled with suspicion.
"I only hope that you'll be merciful. Don't assign such a deceptive mission to us in the future …" First Court King Qinguang rolled his eyes.
Yun Yang chuckled.
Inwardly, he heaved a sigh of relief. He Hanqing's belongings were very important to him. It was good enough that they were willing to return them.
However, it was a little strange.
How could the murderous Concourse of the Underworld be so easy to talk to? They were actually willing to give them to him for free …
Yun Yang could not wrap his head around this.
No matter how he thought about it, it did not make sense.
These fellows were simply trying to help him. Could it be that they had taken a liking to him and cherished him, just like what that fellow had said?
Thinking of this, Yun Yang shuddered and said quickly, "Let's have a pleasant cooperation this time. I'll pay you the rest of the silver taels immediately."
"There's no need for the rest as well." First Court King Qinguang said, "After all, we didn't kill He Hanqing in the end … It's better that you keep the silver taels."
"…"
Yun Yang was even more bewildered. An assassin's organization that accepted money in exchange for one's life was the most classic example of wanting money over life. Now, they did not even want the silver taels that they were supposed to receive. It was strange no matter how he looked at it!
"Yun Yang, I know that you're surprised. We're already very angry about this matter …" First Court King Qinguang said unhappily, "Targeting such high-end figures with hidden identities has made us very passive."
Yun Yang said with a grin, "You can't blame me for this, can you?"
"…"
First Court King Qinguang was speechless.
Not blame you?
