"The Second Prince knows your identity. What do you want to do?”Yang Xing suddenly spoke.
The reason why he had followed them was because of this sudden mission. Moreover, this was the first mission with a punishment condition.
Zi Yan's life would be in danger tonight. Thinking back to what happened before, it was very likely that the Second Prince would attack Zi Yan.
"Did you eavesdrop on my conversation with the Second Prince?”Zi Yan's thoughts were interrupted by Yang Xing. She stared at Yang Xing.
"It was just a coincidence."
Zi Yan sighed." I didn't expect that my whereabouts would be exposed during this mission. I think I should leave Northern Yan City for a period of time. I'll leave tonight."”
Yang Xing nodded. Leaving Northern Yan City was undoubtedly the best choice Zi Yan could make now.
rustling
A strange sound came from outside the window. It sounded like the wind blowing the leaves, but if one listened carefully, they would find that something was wrong.
Zi Yan's expression changed slightly. She lifted the curtain of the carriage and a black bird flew in with a letter tied to its feet.
She took down the letter and released the bird.
This bird was completely black and its body was very fast. If one did not look carefully, one would not be able to see its figure in the dark night.
From the looks of it, the organization behind Zi Yan must have used this method to contact Zi Yan.
Zi Yan opened the letter. A few seconds later, Zi Yan gripped the paper in her hand. Her left arm began to tremble, and her eyes were filled with anger, unwillingness, and a trace of fear.
"What's wrong?" Yang Xing asked as he glanced at Zi Yan's left arm.
"I'm fine. Teacher Yang, I have something to do tonight. You'd better get off here. As for the matter of acknowledging a master, we'll talk about it another day.”Ziyan ordered him to leave.
Leaning against the carriage, Yang Xing crossed his legs and said,""Hua Kui's carriage is indeed different. It even has a fragrance.”
" Teacher Yang…" Zi Yan frowned.
"If you don't tell me what was written on that piece of paper just now, I won't leave. I think I already know so much about you, so I might as well know a little more.
Unless you want to chase me away yourself?”Yang Xing had a rogue look.
Zi Yan was silent for a while. She looked at Yang Xing and finally said,"My organization gave me a mission. I won't be leaving Northern Yan City for the time being, but I will be going to a courtyard in the outskirts of the city under the name of Spring Swallow Pavilion.”
"A courtyard in the suburbs? It was under the name of Spring Swallow Brothel, so the Second Prince should be able to find it!”As Yang Xing was speaking, he suddenly lifted a corner of the curtain behind him, his eyes seemed to be spying on something in the darkness.
"Someone is following you? It's the Second Prince's men!"
Yang Xing turned his head and looked at Zi Yan seriously. He could smell a trace of restlessness.
"Teacher Yang, you'd better not interfere in my matters anymore. Otherwise, you'll really be in danger!" Ziyan pressed her left arm and reminded him through gritted teeth.
Her left arm trembled even more violently, and outsiders could see it.
"What exactly happened? What does your organization want you to do? At this time, he didn't let you leave Northern Yan City, but went to that suburban courtyard. Isn't that sending you to your death?”Yang Xingzhi asked.
Zi Yan bit her lip and a trickle of blood flowed down.
The paper in her hand had already been crushed by her.
A thought flashed across Yang Xing's mind. He widened his eyes."Your organization is preparing to use you as bait? The Second Prince is going to make a move on you tonight.
And the reason why they didn't let you leave Northern Yan City was to divert some of their forces away from the Second Prince so that they could assassinate him again?”
Ziyan's body trembled, but she didn't admit it.
However, that was almost equivalent to tacit consent.
"Are the people in your organization crazy? Isn't this equivalent to treating you as an abandoned child?”Yang Xing said angrily.
"This is the rule of the organization. As long as the mission can be completed, I will be able to do it." I don't know how many people the Second Prince will send to capture me, but at least it won't be less than three Great Martial Masters.
So Teacher Yang, you should pretend that you don't know anything and leave quickly.”
At this moment, Zi Yan seemed a little lonely.
"Leave? Why should I leave? I'm your teacher. How can I put my students in danger?”Yang Xing said seriously.
" But I'm not your…"
"Not now, but in the future!”Yang Xing said in an unquestionable tone.
Zi Yan was speechless for a moment. She looked at Yang Xing foolishly.
"Why? Why do you insist on taking me as your disciple? Don't you know that I'm an assassin? And I'm an assassin who attempted to assassinate the Second Prince.
You won't have a place to stay in the Bei Yan Country!”Zi Yan asked.
Yang Xing smiled and leaned against the soft seat behind him.""Previously, I might have wanted to take you in as a student for some reason, but now it's me, Yang Xing, who wants to take you in as a student.
Does your left arm tremble every time you get nervous?”
"Ah?" Zi Yan was surprised. She didn't know why Yang Xing suddenly brought this up.
"My mother has the same illness. I grew up in a single-parent family. My mother took care of my sister and me alone. She was just an ordinary person, but she could overcome all the difficulties in life.
However, I later discovered that my mother had a disease. Every time she faced pressure and difficulties, although she had a smile on her face, her left arm would tremble.
She would use her right hand to grab her left arm, or even tear it apart.”
Yang Xing stretched his body towards Zi Yan and grabbed her left arm. He rolled up her left sleeve, revealing some scars and some new scratches and red marks.
Yang Xing's eyes revealed a complicated and distressed expression."She has the same scars as you. This was only discovered when she passed away from overwork.
She was a woman full of secrets. In the end, I didn't know how many secrets she had to bear for us.
I promised her that I would take good care of my sister, but because of my negligence, my sister died in an accident…"
Zi Yan was stunned at first, then she stared at Yang Xing."But as far as I know, you are a branch of the Yang family. Your parents died ten years ago due to a magical beast attack.
Your sister is still alive and studying at the White Rose Women's College.”
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
"Ahem, I just wanted to tell a touching story to lighten the atmosphere.”The expression on Yang Xing's face returned to his original mischievous smile, but there was a trace of sadness in the depths of his eyes.
Previously, the system had given him a choice. Now, it was his own choice.
Perhaps some people would think that he was being too ridiculous. Just because of this, he had to risk his life to protect a person?
Was it worth it?
Yang Xing's answer was…it was worth it!
It was because this woman had the shadow of a woman that Yang Xing owed his entire life.
He, Yang Xing, wasn't the kind of person who would be overly cautious. He only knew that this was what his father wanted to do.
"Then can you please let go of my hand?”Black lines appeared on Zi Yan's forehead. If she hadn't investigated Yang Xing's information out of curiosity, she might have been deceived by this guy just now.
However, when he spoke just now, it was as if it was true.
Even a professional assassin like her couldn't tell.
Yang Xing put away his hand and said with a smile," Anyway, I'll just say one thing. I'll follow you tonight!"”
If anyone heard this, they would definitely think that this was an unscrupulous teacher plotting against his female student.
