"How did you get this thing?"
After asking this question, Caiyi quickly relaxed again. In an instant, she seemed to have transformed from a sharp sword into a soft lamb.
She took the wooden plaque and said softly, "If I'm not mistaken, this should be the nameplate of Leng Hu, the Earthly Assassin of the Guangyao Palace of Dongling Kingdom."
Xie Ling narrowed her eyes. Caiyi actually knew Leng Hu?
Don't try to create some sort of senior and junior brothers and sisters relationship, it would be too melodramatic, after all, Leng Hu died at his hands.
Xie Ling narrated what happened that day in a very concise manner.
She only said that there was a flood at that time, and when she went out to look for supplies, she had an argument with Leng Hu and accidentally killed him.
Caiyi raised her eyebrows slightly, she didn't realize Xie Ling was so powerful.
Hearing that Leng Hu was dead, I felt a little relieved.
It would be very difficult if the people in Guangyao Palace knew that she was still alive.
After returning the wooden sign to Xie Ling, Caiyue slowly spoke.
“I used to be a killer for Guangyao Palace. Every five years, Guangyao Palace would capture thousands of children from the public and let them kill each other. In the end, only ten people would survive, and these ten people would become the lowest-level killers for Guangyao Palace.
Every year, Guangyao Hall issues many tasks. Killing 100 people can promote you to Yuan Jue, killing 500 people can promote you to Yue Jue, and killing 900 people can promote you to Di Jue. I was a Yue Jue killer before I retired.
And this cold fox is the killer of the earth, with a curved knife, he is also well-known in the martial arts world. I have some grudges against him, he once stole my mission. "
After hearing that Caiyi and Lenghu not only had a bad relationship but also had a grudge against each other, Xie Ling finally felt relieved.
Caiyi noticed Xie Ling's little expression and smiled gently.
"Are you afraid that he and I are friends? You are overthinking this. Guangyao Palace only has enemies, not friends. The top assassins in Guangyao Palace must kill all assassins of the same age to be promoted."
Xie Ling was puzzled, "Won't this cause a loss of talent?"
Caiyi shook her head. "One Tianjue can defeat a thousand Dijues and ten thousand Yuejues. Their strength is unfathomable. The Tianjue killers in Guangyao Palace all have a silver lotus tattooed on their foreheads. If you meet them, try not to argue with them."
Xie Ling nodded and asked, "Will you not be hunted down if you escape from Guangyao Palace?"
Caiyi smiled helplessly, "Yes. I know so many secrets of Guangyao Palace, how could the Palace Master let me live well? I faked my death and defected, but I think with the ability of Guangyao Palace, they should have guessed that I am not dead. That's why Qianzhong travels all over the country for business, wandering around the world, just hoping not to meet him."
Xie Ling frowned, "Then you are in a very dangerous situation."
That’s why Caiyi reacted so strongly when she saw Lenghu’s nameplate just now.
Caiyi turned around and pinched Xie Ling's face. "It's okay. There are few women in Guangyao Palace. Since I was born beautiful, I have been wearing a veil since I came into the world to avoid trouble. No one has seen my true appearance. This is why I dared to defect."
Only then did Xie Ling feel relieved.
He then asked, "Who does Guangyao Palace usually accept missions from? What happens if the mission is not completed?"
"In the seven countries, no matter who it is, as long as they can give the Palace Master what he wants, we will accept anything. It doesn't matter if it's the Di people above Beijiang, or the four isolated sects and Tonghua City. If the mission is not completed, Guangyao Palace will keep sending people to search until death."
After a pause, Caiyi asked, "You want to know about Guangyao Palace? I lived there for more than ten years. It is the most terrifying place I have ever seen. You should try not to have anything to do with Guangyao Palace."
Xie Ling nodded, "Okay."
He said, hiding the thought in his eyes.
So, whose mission did Leng Hu take?
Is it the Nangong family?
But since the Nangong family already knew that the secret treasure was in the Bai family, why did they go to the trouble of hiring a killer? After all, the secret treasure was originally theirs, so there was no need at all.
So the possibility of it being the Nangong family is low.
Then it is very likely that they are the other two aristocratic families of Dongling Kingdom.
Murong family or Gongsun family.
And according to Caiyi, although Leng Hu is dead, Guangyao Palace is still secretly investigating the whereabouts of the Bai family's secret treasure. Who knows, they might find out about her and Gu Wei one day.
The thousand-year-old black iron must be smelted as soon as possible to avoid any more trouble!
The sea breeze blows on your face, so gentle.
The sun rose high into the sky, casting its dazzling rays.
After chatting with Caiyi for a while, Xie Ling stood up and said goodbye.
Caiyi looked at Xie Ling's back, her two curved eyebrows slightly wrinkled, and her eyes were full of deep meaning.
On the other side, Xie Ling hurriedly ran to find Gu Wei and told him about the Guangyao Palace.
Gu Wei looked a little serious. "I only knew that the assassins of Guangyao Palace were all extremely skilled in martial arts, but I didn't expect that they even had a rule of fighting to the death... But Beijiang was in such chaos recently, they won't find out about us for the time being."
As he spoke, he patted Xie Ling's head, his eyes slightly warm, "It's okay, I'll take care of everything."
The sailboat sped along at full speed, and before the afternoon, we could see the bustling Liu'an Wharf from afar.
Liu'an Wharf is one of the four major wharves in Nan Tang City of Yunqin State.
There were huge crowds of people, merchants and travelers. When the Lin family's sailboat docked, all the surrounding sailboats waved flags to show their respect.
Everyone who does business knows that the Lin family, which has risen in recent years, is the largest caravan in the Yunqin Kingdom.
There are also rumors that the owner of the Lin family caravan is the second son of the Lin family in Huainan City. Therefore, everyone on the road, whether they are merchants or Japanese bandits, are willing to give the Lin family caravan some face.
The ship is approaching the shore.
Despite being injured, Lin Qianzhong still stood on the deck, directing his subordinates to check the cargo in an orderly manner.
