Song Yan'er: "Since there's nothing we can help you with, we'll be leaving now!" These people have very low combat power, which makes Song Yan'er uninterested.

Song Yan'er pulled Xiao Yang past the crowd! They didn't see the sinister glint in the eyes of the man in black who had just suggested splitting up, as he slowly drew his sword!

His sword spun as it came, churning the air with a whooshing sound, and a surge of powerful sword energy rushed towards Xiao Yang like a tidal wave. Just as the sword tip was about to pierce Xiao Yang, Song Yan'er released her grip and used her inner force to flick the tip of the sword, directly deflecting the attack from the man in black!

Then he threw a poison gas canister and immediately pulled Xiao Yang to stand aside!

When the poisonous smoke dissipated, all the men in black were lying on the ground, staring wide-eyed, looking utterly innocent!

"Hey, Xiao Yang, how much do they despise you that they would hire so many people to assassinate you!"

Song Yan'er looked at the pile of men in black lying there with a mocking expression!

"A scholar can be killed but not humiliated! We've fallen into your hands today, consider it our bad luck. Kill us or torture us, it's up to you! I won't utter a sound!"

"Wow, you still have some backbone! But talking about killing and dismembering, how bloody! Right, my husband?"

Xiao Yang: "Yes! Madam, let them leave it to me! Let's not get your hands dirty with such bloody matters!"

"Okay! So what do we do now? Although they've all been poisoned by the smoke, my poison isn't lethal. At most, it'll act like a muscle relaxant, leaving them weak for about a day. Otherwise, let's chop off their hands! That way, I'll feel a little more at ease!"

Song Yan'er spoke so casually! But to the man in black, it sent chills down his spine! Hands, oh no, without hands, how will they live?

The leader of the men in black said, "We were wrong. We were just doing this for money. Please let us go! I can tell you who wants you dead!"

"This cannot be used as a bargaining chip for you. I know who wants me dead! If you can't come up with something that will interest my wife, then according to her wishes, chop off her hand and send her away!"

The man in black...

"Are you assassins?" Song Yan'er asked.

"Yes, we are from the assassin camp. We only accepted a mission to assassinate a level four rookie. We've been taken down by you!"

They were just unlucky to run into these two!

In reality, they were just the lowest-ranking team in the assassin camp. Of the six of them, only one was level six, and the rest were level five! They usually took the missions that others had left over!

"Are you free or have you signed a contract of servitude?" She was determined to make money in the future! The most lucrative profession was undoubtedly mercenary work, just like in her previous life! But in this life, Song Yan'er didn't want to live that kind of life again! She just wanted to do some stable business and live a peaceful and uneventful life.

If you want to start a business, the key is to have enough people! Looking at these people in front of me, they seem to have some bright minds! We can make use of them.

"The assassins are all free! If you spare us, Madam, we can have you at your beck and call for a year, how about it?"

The leader of the men in black is clearly good at reading people! Hmm, he'd be a good manager!

"Alright! It's settled then!" With that, he took out a small porcelain bottle from his pocket and held it in front of the gang leader's nose for him to smell. In just a few breaths, the gang leader recovered! The gang leader was shocked! They had been assassins for many years and had never seen a drug that could restore strength so quickly after being poisoned with muscle-weakening powder!

The gang leader was no longer so resistant to working for Song Yan'er.

"Although the poison from your poisonous smoke has been neutralized, there is still another poison in your bodies. If you don't believe me, touch your own Qihai acupoint!"

The gang leader's expression changed instantly! Cunning!

"Don't worry! This isn't some deadly poison. You won't have any ill intentions for a year. I'll give you the antidote when the time comes. Otherwise... the ending won't be what you want to see!"

Song Yan'er smiled nonchalantly, while the gang leader gritted his teeth as he listened!

"Have you never heard of 'trusting people you employ' before?"

"But you're assassins! What if you bully a weak woman like me!"

The man in black felt like vomiting blood. Damn it, who's bullying whom here?!

"Alright, I'll give you three days to settle your previous matters, then come find me in Peach Blossom Village!"

As she spoke, she pulled Xiao Yang down the mountain. The sun was almost setting, so they walked very quickly. They arrived home in no time, where Song Dahai and his wife were already waiting at the door!

Seeing the young couple's hands clasped together, Song Dahai greeted them with a smile, "You're back, son-in-law!"

Song Dahai looked at Xiao Yang and became more and more satisfied, feeling that his daughter had good taste!

Suddenly, Song Yan'er raised her hand and waved it in front of Song Dahai:

"Dad, what happened to your eyes!"

"I'm fine, everything's alright, what's wrong!"

"My eyes are perfectly fine, how come I can't see you! I thought I was invisible!"

"What nonsense is this child spouting!"

Saying this, she waved Song Yan'er's mischievous hand aside and continued to look at Xiao Yang with deep affection, saying:

"Son-in-law, don't you have an exam in a few days? Don't put too much pressure on yourself! Just let things take their course!"

Song Dahai was initially confident that Xiao Yang would pass the imperial examination, but now he was no longer sure, since he had never seen his son-in-law studying before!

"Dad, I'm confident, don't worry about me!"

"Okay, okay, whatever you want to eat, ask your mom to make it for you!" Let's not talk about it anymore! It won't be embarrassing if I don't pass the exam!

"Okay, thank you, Dad! But I need to go to the county town tomorrow to prepare for the exam! The exam lasts for three days, so I need to go early, otherwise I won't even have a place to stay! It will be very inconvenient!"
