This is just bragging, and it seems the credibility is questionable.
"Ignorance, the target you asked me to deal with may not be very powerful, but the guy in gray clothes next to her is not simple at all. Both his reaction and perception of murderous intent are extremely strong. It is more difficult to assassinate such a person than to assassinate a weaker person in the early stage of the Body Tempering Realm. I am not cheating you by charging you so much money." The killer sneered twice.
If they wanted to assassinate Ye Qiuhan, the money that Miss Xiao paid was indeed enough, but if they wanted to assassinate Ye Qiuhan, they could not get around the man in gray beside her. This was the difficulty of this mission.
As we all know, assassination targets are generally not the most difficult ones, but her bodyguards are the difficult ones.
If an ordinary person is protected by a venerable, will the killer only charge for killing ordinary people? It doesn't make sense. He must charge according to the price for killing the venerable.
The same applies to Ye Qiuhan and Qian Lin. Ye Qiuhan is actually not important. The killer is dealing with Qian Lin now.
And to deal with a master like Qian Lin, the fee will naturally be higher.
"Okay, I just hope you can succeed before they leave here. Don't let them leave here safely." Miss Xiao said coldly with a gloomy face.
"Don't worry, the airship won't be able to fly before they die." The black-clothed assassin's voice became happier when he heard what Miss Xiao said. "Just wait, I'll be able to give you a satisfactory answer within a few days."
He already had a general idea in his mind on how to deal with Qian Lin. Now that Miss Xiao had paid enough money, he would naturally return the favor and let Miss Xiao know that he was not the number one killer in vain.
……
"Although we asked that senior brother to investigate the poisoning of Young Master Yue, I feel that the probability of a successful investigation is not high." Ye Qiuhan chatted with Qian Lin while eating lunch.
Qian Lin, who was still wearing grey clothes even in his room, responded indifferently, saying that one should take this matter more lightly. It happened a few years ago, and it would be as difficult to find out anything if one investigated it now as finding a needle in a haystack.
"What did those two men say? With the Yue family's methods, they should have been able to find out something by now, right?"
"Miss Yue came over yesterday and said that the two men knew nothing, but a little bit of love fragrance was detected on them. It should be part of the magic plan."
"Didn't they poison Young Master Yue? I thought someone had instructed them to poison him." Hearing Ye Qiuhan's words, Qian Lin blinked twice in surprise. From that perspective, the two men were the absolute beneficiaries.
It has nothing to do with them, Qian Lin really doesn’t believe it.
"They are unwitting accomplices, but there must be something wrong with the store they stayed in before. All their expenses were provided by that store. The Yue family has sent people to look for them, and we will get accurate information soon." Ye Qiuhan put a piece of meat into Qian Lin's bowl, "Eat more to replenish your nutrition. Master told me so before we left."
Reverend Bi Hai was also very worried about Qian Lin's slowly increasing height.
"That's a problem with the Xuanming body. It has nothing to do with me. I'm not picky about food." Qian Lin curled his lips and replied unhappily when Ye Qiuhan picked up some food for him.
When someone puts food into her bowl, she always feels like a junior. It would be fine if it was a senior like Reverend Bi Hai who was doing the picking, but who do you think you are, Ye Qiuhan? How dare you pick food for Miss Qian Lin?
I tell you, you don't deserve it!
After cursing Ye Qiuhan viciously in his heart, Qian Lin's hands moved honestly. He had already stuffed the meat into his mouth and started chewing it.
The dish at Yue Family Restaurant is really delicious. It would be a waste not to eat it, Qian Lin found a reason for himself.
"By the way, have we found the person who wants to kill us?" After eating the meat, Qian Lin asked about another thing. The problem they are facing now is not just the one from Young Master Yue, there is also a guy hiding in the dark who wants their lives.
It is not known whether that guy has any connection with the evil sect. Qian Lin can only guess that he was hired by Miss Xiao to take revenge. After failing to hit him the day before yesterday, he might choose to retreat.
It is very difficult to assassinate myself silently.
"No, the Yue family is now busy looking for the person who poisoned Young Master Yue, and they can hardly take care of us two. In my opinion, you shouldn't have given them the antidote directly. Now look, they have no use and are just thrown aside." Ye Qiuhan held his chin and said jokingly.
"I don't want their things. They should solve their own problems. We will leave in a few days. Are you going to stay here?" Qian Lin reached out and poked Ye Qiuhan's head gently. "You are a direct disciple of the Holy Land. You should be more open-minded."
"Are you questioning my tolerance?" Ye Qiuhan showed a puzzled expression, "Isn't my tolerance very broad?"
In a sense, it was indeed quite wide. Qian Lin's gaze couldn't help but fall on Ye Qiuhan's chest. The Saint Lady's development was indeed quite good.
But what Qian Lin was talking about was obviously not this aspect of being open-minded, but another aspect.
What's the point of being clever at this time?
"If you want to show off, go find someone else outside to show off to. Don't come and get in my way... If we calculate the time, Bai Yiyi and Xiaobai should have reached the finish line, right?"
"Not yet. It's only been less than half a month. I still have to stay on the ship for a few more days." Ye Qiuhan shook her head. She remembered the time very clearly. "When will your Qian family's coming-of-age ceremony begin?"
"There is still more than a month left. I have reserved more than a month of free time. As long as nothing unexpected happens along the way, it will be enough for us to easily get to Qian's house before the ceremony starts, and we will still have time to have fun." Qian Lin said that his arrangement was perfect and he had reserved a lot of time.
Unfortunately, she herself did not expect that a simple trip home to visit relatives would turn out like this.
She is now even trying to resolve the Hehuan Demon Sect's conspiracy to massacre a city!
"We can definitely catch up. I hope that girl is smart and doesn't let us down." Ye Qiuhan said coldly after wiping his mouth.
"I just asked her to pass on a message. If this still goes wrong, I will let her know how powerful my cold poison is the next time we meet."
"What you said is terrible. Recognize your current identity!"
Qian Lin felt a little aggrieved. Was there anything wrong with what she said? Bai Yiyi was not a good person to begin with. Why couldn't she punish her severely?
I really don't understand.
Knock, knock, knock. The sudden knock on the door interrupted their conversation.
Ye Qiuhan and Qian Lin looked at each other and immediately changed from their relaxed state to business state.
Ye Qiuhan reached out and pressed a raised spirit stone button on the table, and the locked door opened.
A handsome man dressed neatly appeared at the gate. After seeing Ye Qiuhan and Qian Lin, he bowed respectfully and said hello, then told them why he was there.
Miss Yue wanted to meet the two of them and asked them to go to Yue's house.
"Ah..." Ye Qiuhan was a little dazed. She subconsciously turned her head to look at Qian Lin, wanting to get advice from the reliable Qian Lin.
Then she felt a cold sensation on her thigh, which was Qian Lin's fingers drawing circles on her thigh.
There was no way Ye Qiuhan didn’t understand what this meant.
"Okay, we'll be there right away." Ye Qiuhan nodded and replied with a sweet smile.
The man smiled faintly upon hearing this: "Then I will wait for the two ladies outside. Miss Yue is waiting anxiously, so please come as soon as possible."
After saying that, the man left the room cleanly and neatly without any hesitation.
"Hehe, there's a problem." After the man left, Qian Lin stood up, took out a few small props from his storage bag, and hid them in his sleeves.
This man seemed to have some misunderstanding about the relationship between Miss Yue and the two of them. He thought that Miss Yue was the one with a higher status in the relationship between the two parties, so Miss Yue wanted to see the two of them and asked them to go to Yue's house to meet.
But he obviously didn't know that after what happened the day before yesterday, the status of both parties had changed fundamentally. Now if Miss Yue wanted to see Qian Lin, she had to come to the restaurant herself!
The information about this man is a little outdated.
"It's really a blessing in disguise. I was wondering how to catch this guy, but now he comes to me." Qian Lin flexed his wrist and smiled confidently, "Ye Qiuhan, call someone to give that guy a surprise!"
"I know, but looking at your expression, it probably won't be difficult for you to deal with him, right?" Ye Qiuhan took out a jade token of ancient style from his pocket and injected spiritual power into it.
117. Easy solution
"A person in the early stage of the Body Tempering Realm is not difficult to deal with, and we are the active party now." Qian Lin did not deny Ye Qiuhan's guess, but nodded naturally, indicating that Ye Qiuhan guessed right and he was indeed not afraid of that guy.
"But he may have other people ambushing outside the door. It would be troublesome if you go out confidently and end up being blocked by a few people in the Body Tempering Realm." Ye Qiuhan was still a little worried.
Qian Lin shook his head, thinking that this possibility was not very high. If several people in the Body Tempering Realm were dispatched together, it would be a huge scene.
Apart from the Demon Sect and the Holy Land, people in the Body Tempering Realm in other places would rather split one into two and use them together, and some would rather fight together at the same time. This situation would only occur during a family war.
The conflict between him and Miss Xiao was only a personal one. Miss Xiao would definitely not use the power of the Xiao family to deal with him. In this case, it was already a rare thing for her to mobilize a person in the Body Tempering Realm.
After all, Qian Lin and the others are now guests of the Yue family. There is no need for a wild Body Tempering Realm cultivator to offend the entire Xiao family for Miss Xiao, right?
"If you can't win, just run away. The disciples stationed in the city will be here soon. I don't believe that the two of us can't hold out in such a short time."
If Miss Xiao could call a Grandmaster to deal with him, Qian Lin would admit defeat. But if there was no Grandmaster, Qian Lin could get a half-step Grandmaster from the Qinglian Sword Sect, who would be able to crush ordinary cultivators in the Body Tempering Realm!
No matter how you look at it, there's nothing to be afraid of!
"Okay, I hope you don't lie to me." Ye Qiuhan stood up helplessly, stretched his muscles, and followed Qian Lin out the door.
The man I just met was still waiting respectfully at the gate, giving people an extremely professional feeling. When he saw the two people coming out, he politely bowed slightly to them and said, "Please follow me, Miss Yue has been waiting for you for a long time."
The two men who knew that something was wrong with this man did not show any other reaction. They just nodded and followed the man out of the restaurant.
After turning a few corners in the busy city streets, the number of people around me gradually decreased, which showed that something was wrong.
"Shouldn't the Yue family be in the city center? This place doesn't seem to be the city center, but..." Ye Qiuhan pretended to be panicked and asked, "Are you really leading the right way?"
The man still had an impeccable expression, "This is the right way. Miss Yue has a villa here. She wants to meet the two girls here. Be patient, we will be there soon."
"Is that so? But why would Miss Yue want to meet us here? Wouldn't it be better to just ask us to go to the master's house?" Ye Qiuhan asked doubtfully, but still followed the man obediently.
"Miss, you have your own ideas." The man did not look back this time, but the expression on his face had turned into a proud one.
As long as I bring these two targets into the trap that I have carefully prepared, I will have full confidence that I can achieve these two targets!
After all, these two girls are only in the middle stage of the Mind-Nourishing Realm, and ultimately cannot compare to myself who is in the early stage of the Body-Forging Realm.
It’s almost there, it’s almost there, just a little more distance and we’ll be there.
The closer he got to his destination, the faster the man's heart beat. After completing this mission, he would be able to take the spirit stones and fly away to Zhongzhou to enjoy the rest of his life comfortably.
He didn't want to stay in the cold and barren north for even a moment!
But just as they were about to reach their destination, Qian Lin suddenly stopped. She reached out and pressed Ye Qiuhan's shoulder, and said with a serious expression: "No, there is murderous intent."
"Murderous intention?" Ye Qiuhan showed a puzzled expression, and seemed to have not yet understood the current situation. "Could it be that the person who wanted to kill us?"
"It's possible. It seems that he has been monitoring us and plans to kill us when we go out." Qian Lin nodded, and his eyes swept over the man in front of him without leaving a trace. "Tell Miss Yue that we are going back first. If you want to meet, we can see you next time!"
After saying that, Qian Lin took Ye Qiuhan's hand and tapped the back of her hand three times.
"I'll count to three and then you can start."
"Ah."
Qian Lin pulled Ye Qiuhan and turned around, wanting to leave as fast as the wind.
"You two, Miss Yue has been waiting for you for so long. It would be too disrespectful to her if you leave like this!" The man turned his head and asked sternly with a dissatisfied expression.
But Qian Lin and Ye Qiuhan seemed to have no ears and just walked out without looking back.
The man's expression turned ferocious. If he let them run away this time, it would be difficult to succeed in the future. It seemed that he could only rely on his own strength to get rid of these two little guys.
With a flip of his wrist, a pitch-black dagger appeared in his hand. The man leaned forward slightly, and his muscles tensed. In just a moment, he could catch up with the two fleeing girls and stab the dagger into their hearts.
But he who thought he was a hunter did not realize that the real prey was actually himself.
If he observed carefully, he might find that although Qian Lin and Ye Qiuhan seemed to be fleeing quickly, after a few words, they had not escaped very far.
In other words, neither of them had any intention of escaping.
"Do it!" After counting three times, Qian Lin turned around first and threw an ice blade at the man.
The transparent blade shone brilliantly in the sun, and the man immediately dodged. But just as he was about to dodge, several tough vines broke out of the ground and tightly wrapped around his feet.
Even though the golden spiritual energy gushing out of his body cut the vines into pieces the next moment, the ice blade had already flown in front of him, forcing him to cut it off with the dagger in his hand.
The moment the dagger touched the ice blade, the extreme cold almost took away all of the man's senses. After a period of time that seemed infinitely long, he regained the ability to think. At this time, Qian Lin had already pounced on his side with a soft sword in hand.
Not good! The man's heart suddenly sounded an alarm. With this enemy-facing posture, he was already at a great disadvantage!
If he had not lost his senses for that brief moment, he would definitely not have sat idly by and watched Qian Lin rush to this place, but there is no if in everything. When he failed to dodge the ice blade and had only the choice to confront it head-on, the result was already doomed.
Even just a moment of distraction was enough for Qian Lin to find a very comfortable angle to attack him.
The flexible sword, like a silver snake, attacked the man with a biting cold air, but all the man could rely on was the dagger in his hand and the martial arts he had acquired over the years.
But what he relied on seemed like a joke in front of Qian Lin.
Is the experience of more than 300 years of bloody battles just for show? You have already made a deliberate and unintentional sneak attack. If Qian Lin doesn't beat you into a pig's head, she won't be called Qian!
The unique sword technique created by Qian Lin is that it can penetrate any hole. As long as there is a gap, Qian Lin will expand it bigger and bigger until the gap becomes large enough to affect the outcome of the battle.
What's even more terrifying is that when using the Xuanming Heart Sutra, each of Qian Lin's attacks will be accompanied by an extremely cold Xuanming spiritual energy, as if it can freeze a person's consciousness. The more Qian Lin attacks, the slower his opponent's reaction will be.
An opponent who is much stronger than Qian Lin might be able to withstand the chill that has entered his body and defeat Qian Lin, but this is obviously not something this man can do.
After just a few exchanges of blows, his dagger was knocked down by Qian Lin, and his shoulder was stabbed several times by Qian Lin. These stabs caused more cold air to enter his body, making the situation he faced even worse.
If he was a fire cultivator, perhaps he could rely on the fire spiritual energy in his body to dispel the cold, but unfortunately, he is not.
The gold-type cultivators really have no good way to deal with this kind of cold air entering their bodies.
To make matters worse, his opponent is not just Qian Lin, there is also Ye Qiuhan who is secretly making trouble next to him.
It is true that the wood-type cultivators are restrained by the gold-type cultivators, but Ye Qiuhan has placed herself in a very correct position. She is just a supporting and controlling person, and it is enough for her to help Qian Lin win as soon as possible.
The hard vines that would occasionally emerge from the soil would restrict the man's movements at the most embarrassing moment, making him unable to dodge Qian Lin's attacks and he could only choose to resist.
The physical defense of a cultivator in the Body Tempering Realm is no different from a piece of paper when facing the spiritual sword used by the Venerable.
The half-step grandmaster disciple of the Sword Sect had appeared not far away. Looking at the lively scene in front of him, he thought about it and chose to stand aside and watch the show.
