Weiwu Hou, who had high hopes for Ye Ning, was indeed furious.
Bang bang bang!
He smashed all the vases, tables, and chairs in the house.
He wanted to vent his anger.
Then, he realized that when he looked at the messy house, not only did his mood not improve, but he became even angrier.
The magnificent Weiwu Marquis Manor had been torn apart by the people of the Overwatch Council, and now the interior of the house had been smashed by him.
What was this called?
This was adding insult to injury!
"Ye Ning, I can't live under the same sky as you!”
Marquis Weiwu roared.
He had never hated someone so much in his life.
Everyone in the manor was huddled in a corner.
Who would dare to approach Lord Marquis when he showed his might?
One had to know that he really dared to kill!
Sometimes, when he was angry, he would kill anyone who went near him.
"Mr. Shen!"
No one came close. Marquis Weiwu called out.
A middle-aged scholar had a bitter look on his face, but he still went over and cupped his hands.
"Lord Marquis."
Marquis Weiwu was panting, his eyes bloodshot.
"Did Ye Ning really say that?"
Mister Shen was his guest and had followed Marquis Weiwu for many years, so he knew his master's temper quite well.
He could speak normally.
Yes.
It was alright.
It meant that although he was angry, he had not completely lost his mind.
"That's what Ye Ning said. The entire capital already knows about it.”
Mr. Shen answered truthfully.
"If the tiger doesn't show its might, he really thinks I'm a sick cat!”
Weiwu Hou said fiercely.
In his mind, he was clearly the one who suffered a loss in the previous confrontation.
The steward was captured, the manor was demolished, the servants were killed, and the wolf demon was beheaded…
I've lost so much.
And you?
You didn't lose a single hair.
In the end, I, the "victim", haven't even taken revenge on you, but you've already announced that you'll fight me to the death.
Is there anyone who bullies people like you?
To be honest, Weiwu Hou had never been bullied like this in his life.
"It's intolerable!"
Marquis Weiwu gritted his teeth.
"You, make a trip for me and tell Mr. Mu that I want the head of Ye! At all costs! I want it tonight!"
Mister Shen's face turned ashen.
"Lord Marquis…"
He did not really want to go.
However, he was facing Marquis Weiwu's scarlet eyes.
Therefore, he tactfully shut up and responded.
"Yes."
It was late at night.
In this chaotic world, ordinary people did not dare to walk around at night.
Therefore, the streets were more or less desolate.
This was especially true for the road that Mister Shen was taking. It was a remote road with few people.
He walked towards the east of the city.
After passing through the market and the residential area, they arrived at a dilapidated and desolate area.
This place used to be very prosperous.
But hundreds of years ago, there was a mutiny here.
Some of the soldiers rebelled and killed the general leading the troops.
With a fire, the entire area was burned to the ground.
Although the mutiny was suppressed and the place was rebuilt, it was difficult to restore its former prosperity.
Burning down a few houses was nothing, but the problem was that if the hearts of the people were burned away, then there would be nothing left.
The people in this area were either dead or injured. The living were unwilling to return to this sad place.
As time passed, it became desolate and desolate.
Mr. Shen walked on the street, his hands slowly hugging his chest.
In the next moment, a gust of cold wind blew against his face.
He shivered.
However, he was clearly prepared and was quite familiar with this place.
After walking forward for an hour, they stopped in a dark place where they could not even see their own fingers.
This was it.
Every time he came here, it always made his hair stand on end.
Darkness was something he feared.
Moreover, the darkness here was man-made.
In the darkness, there were countless people staring at him.
"I am Shen Sanbian from the Mighty Marquis Residence, and I wish to see Mister Mu.”
Shen Sanbian bowed humbly and whispered.
His voice wasn't loud, but it strangely spread far away. A gust of cold wind swept over and carried his voice far away.
He waited quietly.
A moment later, a hoarse voice sounded.
"Why is it you again?"
I don't want to come either…
Shen Sanbian smiled bitterly in his heart.
If they had a choice, who would want to deal with these murderers?
"I dare not disobey Master's orders.”
Shen Sanbian said.
Creak!
In the darkness, there was an ear-piercing sound of the door opening.
It was as if someone had opened a wooden door that had been in disrepair for a long time.
A lantern appeared.
In the darkness, there was a faint light.
"Come in."
The hoarse voice sounded again.
Shen Sanbian hurriedly cupped his hands.
Then, he took a deep breath and chased after the lantern.
The lantern was at a distance, sometimes far and sometimes near, but Shen Sanbian could always follow it.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, the lantern disappeared.
A black-robed man wearing a mask sat in a dry well.
The mask covered his face, revealing only two emotionless eyes.
"Tell me, who do you want to kill?"
Since it was an assassin organization, they would definitely only do one thing.
Therefore, he went straight to the point.
Overwatch Council censor, Ye Ning."
Shen Sanbian said without hesitation.
"Ye Ning…"
The masked man laughed sinisterly.
"Marquis Weiwu really hasn't improved at all. When he encountered a slightly troublesome person, he came to us to help. Doesn't he have any ability? After leaving the Jade Pavilion, what was he?”
Shen Sanbian simply could not accept these words.
She could only lower her head and pretend not to hear him.
"Recently, this Ye Ning has been in the limelight. There are many people who want to kill him. I didn't expect that the first person to find me would actually be Marquis Weiwu.”
The masked man quickly returned to the main topic.
"If it was a few days ago, I would have told you that I would accept this mission.”
"But now, tsk…"
Shen Sanbian was a little puzzled and asked carefully.
"Not picking up?"
The masked man coldly snorted.
"Of course I'll take it, but I'm afraid Marquis Weiwu can't afford the payment!”
Shen Sanbian asked with a fawning smile.
"Mr. Mu, Ye Ning is just an ordinary scholar. How expensive can it be to kill him?”
Ordinary scholar?
The masked man sneered, his eyes cold.
These two cold lights seemed to freeze Shen Sanbian.
He only felt his body stiffen, and a chill spread from the soles of his feet to his entire body. He immediately lost the ability to control his body.
"He's not an ordinary scholar. He's an Overwatch Council censor!”
"He is the most talented poet in the modern era of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He has written a poem that protects the country!”
"He has an extremely high reputation among the literati and commoners!”
"He has entered the eyes of the Great Zhou Emperor!"
"His subordinates are protected by experts!”
"You're telling me that such a person is an ordinary scholar?”
the masked man said darkly.
Shen Sanbian felt colder with every sentence he said.
"M-Mr. Mu, please spare my life!"
Shen Sanbian said shakily.
The masked man waved his hand, and the coldness dissipated.
Shen Sanbian fell to the ground and panted heavily.
He had almost died just now!
This group of assassins was like this. They did not take human lives seriously. Dealing with them was already extremely risky!
"I want ten times the reward. If Marquis Weiwu can afford it, I will accept this order.”
the masked man said coldly.
"Then, then it's a deal!"
Ten times the reward, this was an astronomical figure that Shen San Bian could not imagine.
After all, Misty Rain Tower was very expensive.
And now, it had increased tenfold…
But he still agreed.
Because Weiwu Hou had said that he would spare no expense!
As long as he could kill Ye Ning, anything was fine.
The masked man nodded, and his body turned into a wisp of green smoke as he dove into the dry well.
An evil voice came from the bottom of the well.
"Tomorrow, I'll deliver the head and ask Marquis Weiwu to prepare the reward!”
……
Ye residence.
Ye Ning was making preparations.
"If nothing unexpected happens, there will definitely be an assassin tonight!”
Ye Ning was afraid that something unexpected would happen again.
So he carefully checked the surroundings to make sure that no one from the Overwatch Council had followed him.
Then, he opened the door and windows.
"No matter what you hear tonight, don't come out!”
Ye Ning instructed Old Huang and the cook.
He was worried that if the two of them heard the commotion and came out, the innocent would be hurt.
Misty Castle's style was very special. They only killed their targets and rarely attacked others.
Misty Castle liked killing without alerting anyone.
I won't be able to survive this!
Ye Ning put his hands on his hips and looked at the open door of the house. His heart was filled with joy.
All the unstable factors were eliminated by him.
I don't believe I can't die this time.
He turned around and saw Little Mute.
Ye Ning suddenly remembered that there was one last problem.
He took out the sword talisman that Wu Sansi had given him and stuffed it into Little Mute's hand.
"You have to carry this with you. You can't throw it away, understand?”
He did not explain what it was.
If he explained, Little Mute might not want it.
But Little Mute knew.
She felt the surging sword qi in the sword talisman, and her heart felt even warmer.
"This is a life-saving item, but you gave it to me.”
Little Mute gripped the sword talisman and nodded.
She didn't refuse.
Ye Ning heaved a sigh of relief.
This time, it was completely stable.
He was proud of his wit.
This was killing two birds with one stone.
Not only did he send away the sword talisman, he also protected Little Mute.
Very good.
The next step was to sleep.
Ye Ning turned off the lights and fell asleep.
Not long after, snoring could be heard.
Then, the lights lit up again.
Little Mute took out a piece of Calming Incense and lit it beside Ye Ning's ear.
This would allow him to sleep more soundly.
No matter how big the commotion outside was, it would not disturb him.
"You've always been protecting me."
"This time, it's my turn to protect you!”
"Sleep well. When you wake up, it'll be a brand new day!”
Little Mute stuffed the sword talisman that Ye Ning had given her back into Ye Ning's chest and walked out.
She stood at the door, blending into the darkness.
If anyone who had seen her before saw this scene, they would definitely be shocked.
This was because Little Mute didn't show any shyness or timidity like he usually did.
She was more like a killer.
His body was emitting a cold aura, and his eyes were filled with coldness.
"Your hands are going to write the most beautiful poems in the world. Killing people will dirty your hands, so let me do it for you!”
Little Mute muttered to himself.
An hour later.
A slight killing intent came from outside the door.
He was here!
Little Mute's gaze was cold.
