He looked up at the girl, a glint in his eyes. "There are people like that, about five or six of them. They're like you were just now, under the big tree, looking like they're searching for something."

"Any distinctive features? Appearance, or any special movements?" Qi Jiu's eyes were fixed on the stall owner's face, as if she were observing his expression.

"Distinctive features? They dressed differently from us and other passersby, like secret agents from a TV series."

As he spoke, the stall owner chuckled somewhat sheepishly.

"There are no special agents in reality. I know there is an assassin organization in M ​​continent, but even so, it shouldn't be so easy for me to see them."

Tallinn: "..." There's something I don't know whether I should say or not.

Qi Jiu smiled slightly, "Any other characteristics? Something that's easy to recognize."

She glanced around and saw that the people setting up stalls in this area were all selling pretty much the same things. They didn't know anything about medicine and wouldn't sell these herbs. So, these people must have come and picked them themselves.

Just like he said, those were picked by these people themselves.

“Features? Oh! I remember now, one of them bought a bottle of water from me. He was the one who looked fierce and menacing, with a long scar on his face. When he tilted his head back to drink the water, there seemed to be a pattern on his wrist... a rather dark color.”

"A pattern? What pattern?" For some reason, I had a feeling that this matter was not so simple.

"...It looks like the sun, but it doesn't seem to be. The sun on his wrist even has a face, as if it's laughing or crying. But I don't know what the expression is. I only glanced at it twice and didn't see it clearly."

As he spoke, the stall owner clicked his tongue twice, seemingly not quite understanding.

Upon hearing this, Qi Jiu subconsciously exchanged a glance with Ta Lin beside her, and both of them saw solemnity in each other's eyes.

Having confirmed that the Seven Star Flower was obtained from the western part of M Continent, we assumed it belonged to the forces here. Unexpectedly, this time it was 'zero'!

Since Zero reappeared, Li Hao and Lin Chuan have searched the entire M continent but have not found Zero.

So, Zero traveled all the way to M Continent, specifically to the West, just to poison the assassin organization? It doesn't seem that simple.

Perhaps they have other motives.

"Thank you." The girl smiled at the stall owner, then pulled out several large bills from her pocket, making the stall owner's eyes widen in surprise.

After asking about everything, Qi Jiu and Talin boarded the plane back home. Their arrival and departure were both fleeting.

On the plane, Qi Jiu found Tallinn's listless appearance amusing. "What's wrong? Did not have a chance to fight this time and have become so depressed?"

When they arrived, upon hearing that they were coming to the west to catch the culprit, Tallinn immediately volunteered, giving Li Hao and the others no chance at all.

Later, I heard that he had been stuck in the organization for a long time and was feeling frustrated with his tasks, so he came here to vent his anger.

He originally came here intending to start a fight, but he didn't expect to receive such news and leave right after arriving. He seemed even more frustrated.

Tarin shook his head, suppressing his inner resentment, and looked at the girl beside him, his expression somewhat indescribable. "I heard from Master that you already know?"

Qi Jiu paused, then finally nodded. "I understand. I thought I could just coast along for the rest of my life. If Zero hadn't appeared, I probably really would have just coasted along for the rest of my life."

"So what are your plans?"

The girl's smile deepened as she gazed at the scenery outside the window. "Of course I'll accept it. Once I return to China, I'll complete my mission. This is the first time I've delayed a mission for so long."

Tallinn looked at her without saying a word, and finally sighed.

Actually, they already knew about this when they became Han Yan's apprentices, but they didn't expect this day to come so soon.

"Thanks for your hard work."

The girl next to him shook her head. She had been struggling with this matter before, but now she accepted it so calmly, as if she had breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's not hard work. No matter what grudges Zero has against my family and old man Han Yan, I will handle it properly. For Han Yan, and for myself."

Although there is still time to stall, Zero has already come knocking on their door and done this to the assassin organization, which is nothing more than a warning to them to hand over the person.

An heir? Or are there others waiting?

Back at the international assassin organization, Han Yan sat in his office, his hands clasped on his desk, lost in thought.

Qi Jiu and the other brothers sat on the sofa without saying a word.

For a moment, the only sound in the office was the ticking of the clock on the wall. Han Yan looked up at her several times, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn't utter a single word.

After a long while, Han Yan finally looked up. He looked at Qi Jiu's back, his expression somewhat unreadable.

"So, you've made up your mind? You're going to accept your identity?"

The girl didn't turn around. "Yes, if I don't accept it, these people from Zero will probably cause trouble for the rest of their lives. For the sake of a more peaceful life, I've accepted this background, and it's worth it."

Han Yan stood up abruptly from his computer chair. "You need to understand, if that mission in China is completed, you'll be facing Zero head-on. If Zero has any plans in the future, you'll be their first target."

I thought she would hesitate, but she just waved her hand dismissively.

"It doesn't matter. Even if I don't confront them, they'll still come knocking, won't they? Besides, if they can disappear once, they can disappear a second time."

The new member of the assassin organization has now fully recovered thanks to the antidote, and his physical condition has returned to its previous state.

While they were happy, they also received a fact that they could not accept.

That means the strictest officer in the entire assassin organization, Number Seven, has returned, and their closed training and special training for Number Seven will begin ahead of schedule. Their good days are basically over.

At that moment, a group of men and women dressed in military green training uniforms stared at the message on the bulletin board and were completely stunned.

"I heard that Commander Seven is back. She's the one who cured us of the poison. Commander Seven is really capable, but I didn't expect this to happen so soon!"

"I'm blown away! I knew Commander Seven wouldn't have come for nothing!"

"..."

Qi Jiu, who happened to be passing by the bulletin board and overheard everything: "..."

How about that? Surprised? Unexpected?
