Upon hearing this, Qing Ning suddenly turned around, her facial muscles seemingly losing control at that moment, leaving her unsure of what expression to make.

But the corner of his mouth twitched slightly uncontrollably.

Qing Ning stared intently at Xiao, her fists clenched so tightly that veins bulged on her fair skin, and goosebumps rose on her back. Her breathing became rapid.

This is a precursor to taking action.

Xiao actually revealed the secret he had been hiding in his heart.

Can……

When did he find out?

Did you guess that?

Or is it...?

You already knew?

Is there a conspiracy behind calling me here today?

She looked at Xiao, who was sitting in the chair, with a complicated expression. The leader was still the same as before, unfazed by honor or disgrace. His funny and angry face just now seemed to be just something Xiao used to tease her.

"Surprised? I love seeing that surprised look on your face."

Suddenly, Xiao twitched the corners of his mouth, narrowed his eyes slightly, and a rather unscrupulous smile appeared, breaking the silence in the room with his words.

Before Qing Ning could speak, he waved his hand dismissively and said, "Get lost. Just seeing you gives me a headache."

“That Xia Che…”

Qingning looked at Xiao expectantly, but was too embarrassed to speak, so she could only blink her eyes as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.

"I'll do it, now get out of here!"

Xiao Kuang rolled his eyes. How come this woman can't understand human language?

She had already let her go, and she hadn't said she wouldn't erase Xia Che's name. Didn't she understand her implication?

You absolutely must be upfront about it...

Sigh, Xiao actually really wanted to experience what it's like to be the leader of an organization in movies and TV shows, someone who doesn't speak human language and only uses riddles.

That would be so high-class...

"oh……"

Qing Ning swallowed hard, obediently turned around, and opened the door.

Just as Qing Ning was about to step out of the room, she softly said, "Thank you."

Upon hearing this, Xiao was taken aback.

As the Queen of the Hunting Owls, September's title speaks volumes about the kind of person she is within the organization.

Will I ever thank myself one day?

"If only one day... you really would care about the organization as much as you just said."

Xiao sighed softly, looking somewhat forlorn.

Then, the door was gently closed, and footsteps could be heard outside, gradually fading into the distance.

Clearly, Qing Ning had already left, fearing the other party might turn hostile.

"That brat."

Xiao leaned back lazily in his chair, a smile playing on his lips.

"You've still decided to help him. That's your answer, and it's also the answer from the Assassin's Guild, isn't it?"

A voice suddenly rang out in the room.

Strangely, there was no one else in the room except for Xiao, who was sitting at the head of the table.

Xiao, however, had an expression of surprise on his face and said softly, "I have high hopes for him."

"Not killing Xia Che is tantamount to making an enemy of us. Why has the Assassin's Hall fallen to such a state? Is the real reason really because of suppression? You and I both know the answer!"

The voice gradually turned sinister.

"To be your enemy? Ha... that's still better than you harming a child."

Xiao Wusuai picked up the wine bottle, refilled his glass with red wine, and said without looking up, "Your power has reached the pinnacle of the world. There is nothing you cannot obtain. Isn't that enough? It's time to turn the page on those things from back then."

"It can't be turned around!"

Her voice was hysterical, "I can't believe you would make such a stupid decision! Why didn't you let Jiu Yue kill Xia Che? Do you know what you're doing?! Do you... really want us to declare war on the Assassin's Guild?!"

“Then let’s fight,” Xiao said softly.

With a muffled thud, Xiao downed the red wine in his glass in one gulp, then slammed it heavily on the table. The resolute thud carried the weight of his words. Xiao lowered his eyes slightly, staring at the empty glass, and said calmly, "You've already gotten enough, and now you want to kill a child, to wipe out the last remaining branch? It's utterly depraved... I've seen Xia Che's file. Wasn't it your doing that his Xia family was able to escape from China?"

"Slaughter them all...can't you leave them a way out?"

A surge of anger welled up in Xiao's amber eyes.

The impact of that incident back then was too great, even their Assassin Hall was implicated. After that incident, the Assassin Hall never recovered and gradually faded from people's sight.

Ultimately, it's all the work of the forces behind the owner of this voice.

Xiao had long disliked them.

He wasn't familiar with Xia Che, or even knew him at all. Saying these things now would likely be seen as taking advantage of the situation, but Xiao didn't care.

Let's fight if we want. Anyway, the Assassin's Hall doesn't care about anything these days. Those with nothing to lose aren't afraid of those in shoes. Xiao Zhen isn't afraid if it really comes down to a fight.

"The leader of the Assassins' Hall, who makes a living by killing and lives in the shadows... is he planning to carry out justice?"

The voice paused for a moment, then chuckled strangely.

A notorious assassin organization is talking about this here?

It's too absurd and too ridiculous.

"However... the Xia family's sudden withdrawal was indeed our doing. If they hadn't abandoned Xia Che in China, we would have wiped out the Xia family outright, hehe..."

The voice let out a long sigh, seemingly relieved: "The Xia family is very pragmatic, abandoning their young master so easily. There is indeed no such thing as kinship in these families."

"Saying we can't stand the light of day... I think you're the ones who can't stand the light of day the most."

Xiao sneered, then shook his head, his expression full of disdain. He was too lazy to discuss this topic with this person. He then raised his hand and shook his fingers slightly, "Since we're going to fight, then we're enemies. I'm never polite to my enemies. Get lost."

"You...you really want to be our enemy?"

The mysterious voice paused for a moment. At this point, it was hard for the other party to believe that Xiao would refuse their terms.

That guy named Xia Che...

It has absolutely nothing to do with the Assassin's Guild, right?

Why did you suddenly side with Xia Che?

And their attitude is so firm; they've already decided to start a fight...

The mysterious voice clearly understood Xiao's character; such a man of his word would never lie.

Didn't you understand?

Xiao snorted and looked up for the first time at the place where the mysterious voice was hiding, his eyes gleaming: "If you don't get out of here, you'll die."

"you……"

The mysterious voice seemed to want to say something more.

"roll!"

Xiao didn't give the other party a chance to spew trash talk and shouted angrily.

There's no need to ask anything more.

Xiao's attitude is all in this sentence.

If you don't leave...

You really can die!

"Xiao, you'll regret this!"

The sound of clenching teeth was full of resentment.
