"So... is it highly likely that they're hiding their true strength?"

Xu Youwei had found the answer in her heart.

"Okay... I understand."

Upon hearing this, the subordinate readily agreed, and after asking Xu Youwei if she had any other questions, he tactfully hung up the phone.

Once you've met your boss's requirements, you should leave as soon as possible and not linger too long, lest you annoy your boss.

The other party is very knowledgeable about workplace unspoken rules.

"He's already a senior in high school, yet he's still hiding his strength? Hmm... never mind, even though the Xia family is no longer in Jiang City, a fallen camel is still bigger than a horse. They might arrange a new path for Xia Che. For a rich second-generation like him, whether he goes to university or not is actually not important."

Even so, Xu Youwei's usual caution made her decide to wait a day.

I'll decide which class to teach after the test results come out.

"The next step will really test my acting skills... Well, thinking about it that way, it's actually quite exciting."

Xu Youwei's eyes sparkled. The thought of making a cameo appearance as an actress in the future would fulfill her childhood dream of becoming a big star. It was quite exciting.

"So……"

"Looking forward to our next meeting."

"Young Master Xia Che."

...

Jiang City, Lishi Quyuan.

Yu Shiyue sat on the balcony, holding her phone with a solemn expression.

Everyone else had gone to school, and she was the only one left.

Every day is like this.

Occasionally, Yu Shiyue would lie alone in the living room out of boredom, feeling like she was from a different world from Xia Che and the others.

I heard that Xia Che and the others will have a day off tomorrow?

Yu Shiyue should have been happy, but her mood was so heavy that she couldn't even manage a smile.

This was because the Yu family had given her an ultimatum.

If we don't go back on our own initiative, they'll have to come in person.

Yu Shiyue had no desire to return to this oppressive family that made her feel suffocated. Before, she was filled with confusion and although she had thoughts of rebellion, she could never make up her mind.

But ever since Xia Che took her racing and they escaped from two terrifying assassins, Yu Shiyue's mindset has undergone a subtle change.

She was no longer confused.

When people face life and death, they are more likely to have a profound realization. After experiencing these things, the predicaments that previously bound them will no longer be able to restrain them.

“That’s right… I’ve even faced death, what am I worried about? I should just come clean with my family and tell them frankly that I don’t want to live my life the way they want, and I want to walk the path I want to walk!”

Yu Shiyue gripped her phone tightly with both hands, took a deep breath, and felt her heart pounding in her throat.

Even though she was very nervous, Yu Shiyue had to make this decision.

She was going all out.

Just then, the door behind them quietly opened, and a petite and nimble figure slipped in stealthily.

She held a delicate dagger in her hand, and her blue hair instantly revealed her identity.

—The Blue Rose of Slaughter, Warm Morning Dew!

“I’ve been going down the wrong path all along. Since an accidental coincidence couldn’t kill you, and since you’re so tough, then… why should I bother going through all that trouble? I should just kill you outright, cleanly and neatly, and then make it look like an accidental coincidence.”

Wen Chenlu silently recited in her heart, her gaze gradually becoming firm.

That's right...

She only realized this recently.

Wen Chenlu also made the same mistake.

She was too fixated on killing Yu Shiyue through an accident.

Perhaps Yu Shiyue's luck is indeed strong, as she always manages to escape danger. Wen Chenlu has never seen such strong luck before.

It has been far too long since Wen Chenlu decided to kill Yu Shiyue, and she has never encountered anyone she wanted to kill who had been active in front of her for so long.

Wen Chenlu had lost her patience.

She decided to kill Yu Shiyue today.

Eliminate this biggest hidden danger!

The young master can only belong to the four sisters.

No outsiders are allowed to get their hands on it!

A fierce glint flashed in Wen Chenlu's eyes, and the blue rose that struck fear into the hearts of the entire assassin world quietly bloomed.

Yu Shiyue, engrossed in her phone, was unaware that a terrifying calamity had already descended upon her.

Her life will be lost in an instant.

No one can save the life of a target once Wen Chenlu has locked onto them.

This is common sense.

Those targeted by the Blue Rose face only death.

In the beginning, when the Four Roses were first formed, there was no clear concept of a main character or leader. Everyone's roles were quite disorganized, and there was no specific instruction on what each rose should do.

But the blue rose is an exception.

Her reputation as a master of slaughter was earned through her own efforts.

The enemy was terrified by the killing, and the enemy respectfully offered up this title.

This is enough to show how terrifying Wen Chenlu is.

but……

"Hmm? Someone's here? And they don't seem to have any good intentions..."

Suddenly, the ahoge on Wen Chenlu's head twitched, like an antenna receiving a signal. After smelling the murderous aura in the air that did not belong to her, her petite figure quickly hid behind the sofa. She then leaned against the back of the sofa, hiding herself completely, and cautiously observed the direction from which the murderous aura came.

A strange murderous aura.

It wasn't an enemy I'd encountered before.

But upon closer inspection... this killing intent was only slightly more intense, but not fatal.

It's as if he came here to take someone away, to warn those who share the same goal, not to actually kill anyone.

"Are they here because of Yu Shiyue?"

Wen Chenlu had considerable combat experience, and upon realizing this, she immediately changed her plan; she decided not to make a move.

Yu Shiyue's enemy is her ally.

Wen Chenlu suppressed her urge to make a move and decided to hide and observe first.

"Buzz—"

Yu Shiyue dialed the number. She didn't possess any special abilities, so she didn't notice the ill-intentioned people behind her, whether it was Wen Chenlu or that group of mysterious people.

This number belongs to one of her mother's female secretaries.

This secretary had been working for her mother for a long time, and Yu Shiyue had always been somewhat afraid of her.

Because it's too mysterious.

Moreover, he always wore a terrifying, forced smile on his face that chilled Yu Shiyue to the bone.

Yu Shiyue always felt that this secretary's true identity was not so simple, and that she must have a side business that no one knew about.

However, this cannot be verified.

Therefore, Yu Shiyue could only try to stay away from him.

But now she has to take the initiative to call the other party, which makes Yu Shiyue feel unwilling from the bottom of her heart.
