Upon hearing this, Jun Yannuo's brows furrowed into a knot, and he grabbed Qin Kou'er's hand tightly.

"Do you know what you're saying? Why don't you ever think about doing something like this again! You're pregnant now, how can you participate in such an assassination! Okay, you're not allowed to go! I'll go!"

With that, Jun Yannuo released Qin Kou'er's hand and started to walk back.

However, Qin Kou'er instantly grabbed his wrist.

You mustn't go!

Why can't I go?

Jun Yannuo was truly enraged this time, and turned around to give Qin Kou'er a sharp shout.

"Am I supposed to just stand by and watch you take such a risk? Can you expect me to tell Lan Linxue that his wife and son were brutally murdered by someone else? I can't say that to Lan Linxue, and I absolutely cannot say it to our brothers!"

After saying that, Jun Yannuo shook off Qin Kou'er's hand and turned to walk out.

This time, Qin Kou'er did not stop Jun Yannuo.

Seeing Jun Yannuo's angry back, Qin Kou'er suddenly floated behind Jun Yannuo like a ghost, and with a light touch, she sealed Jun Yannuo's pressure point, causing him to fall backward.

However, Qin Kou'er did not let Jun Yannuo fall, but gently caught him and placed him in the chair.

Looking at the furious Jun Yannuo in the chair, Qin Kou'er suddenly smiled gently, leaned down to look at him, and said patiently, "Yannuo, you must know that I will have my hands stained with blood for this Qin family feud! I will absolutely not let Hu Tianyong leave any remnants. I know what you're worried about, but if we don't make the first move now, then others will! Moreover, none of us know what cards those Northerners are holding. If I'm not there to watch, I can't make the most accurate judgment! So, I have to go tonight! And you, you have to stay!"

Jun Yannuo glared at Qin Kou'er and said coldly, "These are all excuses! You know that's not what you really want to do!"

Qin Kou'er looked into Jun Yan Nuo's eyes, slowly straightened up, and her expression gradually turned cold.

"Yes! You're absolutely right! That's not all I want to do!"

As she spoke, Qin Kou'er's eyes flashed with a sharp, piercing light.

"I want to see Hu Tianyong's last hope fall with my own eyes! Although I can't kill him, I want him to die with his eyes open in disgrace!"

With that, Qin Kou'er didn't look at Jun Yannuo again. She simply placed the black jade in Jun Yannuo's hand, then turned around and strode out.

"Kou'er! Don't you think about yourself? Don't you think about the child in your belly?!"

Jun Yannuo shouted, freezing Qin Kou'er in place.

Qin Kou'er's cold back looked somewhat stiff, and her black clothes made her appear even more mysterious in the night.

After a long while, Qin Kou'er's clear and cold voice slowly came through.

"It's to prevent my children from repeating the path I've taken that I'm determined to personally carry out this massacre tonight! These people must die!"

After saying that, Qin Kou'er ignored Jun Yannuo behind her and strode out.

In the courtyard, the men in black stood in neat rows, silently watching Qin Kou'er walk toward them.

At this moment, Qu Feng'er had already changed into her night clothes. She didn't say a word, but just quietly watched Qin Kou'er walk over step by step.

Qin Kou'er's steps were somewhat heavy, but she did not hesitate at all.

Slowly shifting her gaze from the face of the person in front of her, Qin Kou'er smiled slightly.

"You are all my most elite men. I hope you won't disappoint me tonight!"

After speaking, Qin Kou'er turned to look at Hai Tian: "Are the others all ready as well?"

This was Qin Kou'er's habit; she never acted rashly. Although she led these people directly in, there were at least four more groups of people, hundreds of them, waiting to provide backup.

Qin Kou'er is going to kill someone tonight, definitely not to commit suicide! She wants to go in alive and come out alive.

"Reporting to the Pavilion Master, everyone is ready! As soon as the Pavilion Master receives the order, these people will immediately go and find those who escaped!"

Qin Kou'er nodded in satisfaction, then slowly covered her face with the veil.

When the people below saw this, they all followed Qin Kou'er's example and covered their faces.

Soon, only a group of murderous assassins remained, and there was no trace of Qin Tiange left.

A night breeze swept in, and a group of men in black disappeared into the darkness as swiftly as night hawks.

Qin Kou'er had already thoroughly studied Lan Xiuyuan's residence, and she was also mentally prepared for the current situation.

Qin Kou'er had considered all possibilities regarding Hu Tianyong.

Therefore, these people were extremely familiar with Lan Xiuyuan's residence. They had been preparing for this day for a long time.

Lan Xiuyuan's Prince's Mansion was a standalone building, not adjacent to any other structures. Therefore, Qin Kou'er and her companions deliberately found an extremely inconspicuous corner, then used their Soul-Locking Hooks to hook onto the eaves and climb up.

After everyone went up, Qin Kou'er immediately waved her hand in the darkness, pointing to the main house in front.

Immediately, everyone leaped towards that direction in a very orderly and formation-like manner.

Qin Kou'er did not follow these people, but instead led Qu Feng'er and Hai Tian to the highest point in the Prince's mansion.

She needs to be in control of everything from the top, and she certainly won't let anyone escape easily tonight.

Qin Kou'er's men set up their formation, leaving personnel at all the key points.

Tonight's operation is a highly confidential assassination, so no open flames are allowed. The only weapon you can use is a dagger.

After everyone was in their places, Qin Kou'er stood on the top floor and looked down.

The Prince's mansion tonight is no different from any other day. The only difference is that there are quite a few more sentries around the main building, and the candlelight there is noticeably brighter than elsewhere.

Qin Kou'er knew that these people were discussing how to deal with her.

But they were completely wrong.

When they tried to kill her, her blade was already at their throats.

With a slow, deliberate movement, Qin Kou'er signaled her attack without hesitation!

---Aside---

Sorry, dear, I thought I was going to miss an update today, but the power outage swallowed everything up.

Thankfully, I'm here! It's a bit late, but I've still updated!

Next time, do it earlier!

Goodnight, love you all
