Chapter 279 Entrusted
"I don't really know him, I just know this person." Yuan Ziyu said.
"In the previous life?"
"Yes!" Yuan Ziyou nodded. "The reason I know this person is because he later became the owner of Youye Tower. According to rumors, he killed the previous owner of Youye Tower. After Xue Ren became the owner, he also massacred the entire family of three major families in the martial arts world. That incident caused a huge sensation at the time. Even ordinary people knew about it, and..."
"And what?" Huo Xifei asked hurriedly.
Yuan Ziyou looked at Huo Xifei and said, "I also heard a rumor, but I don't know if it's true or not. It says that Xue Ren did that to avenge his friend. His friend was a killer in Youye Tower with him, and was murdered by the former owner of Youye Tower."
"Friends?" Huo Xifei narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment: "Maybe we will know the answer soon!"
Yuan Ziyou blinked when he heard Huo Xifei say this: "Brother Xi, do you suspect that Xue Ren's good friend is Zheng Xun?"
"That's possible!" Huo Xifei said, "Let's go find Blood Blade first. We should first ask a small thug about Blood Blade's residence. We don't even know what he looks like!"
"I know!" Yuan Ziyu said hurriedly.
"Have you seen it?"
"I've seen the portrait!" Yuan Ziyou smiled and said, "You were the one who showed it to me!"
Huo Xifei: ...
The valley leading to Youye Tower is not small. Perhaps because they are very confident in the defensive function of the valley, there are only two people guarding the entrance of the valley.
Huo Xifei didn't even need to take action, Yuan Ziyu could handle it on his own.
"This Youye Tower is so big!" Yuan Ziyu drove the Qiongjiang Pavilion and searched the houses one by one along the way.
Finally, in a village house located west of Youye Tower, Yuan Ziyu saw the bloody blade.
Huo Xifei saw Yuan Ziyou's expression and understood: "Have you found the blood blade?"
"Yeah!" Yuan Ziyou nodded: "But at this time, he hasn't rested yet."
"What is he doing?"
"Wipe the sword!" Yuan Ziyou said, "And he looked very unhappy!"
Huo Xifei then said, "We are the only ones who know about Zheng Xun's faked death. I think the news that was passed back to Youye Tower about Zheng Xun was that he fell to his death after his assassination attempt failed."
"Brother Xi, are you saying that he wants revenge?" Yuan Ziyu raised his eyebrows and looked at the bloody blade outside the Qiongjiang Pavilion. If that was the case, it would be a full year earlier than in the previous life!
Xue Ren sat at the table, slowly wiping his sword in the moonlight, thinking about his worries.
He didn't expect Ghost Face to die like this. The guy's injuries hadn't fully healed yet, but he insisted on showing off. What's wrong with him giving in to the host? As long as there is green mountains, there will be no shortage of firewood. But...
Xue Ren sighed, but then again, if Guimian really gave in to the OP, would he still be Guimian?
What a pity he had just figured out his own thoughts!
Xue Ren smiled bitterly. These killers from Youye Tower really did not deserve a good death!
But... he won't let Guimianbai die!
"Who!" Suddenly, Xue Ren felt that there were two more people in the room. He immediately stood up and turned around, with the tip of the sword in his hand pointing straight in the direction of the people coming.
"As expected of a killer from Youye Tower!" Huo Xifei said with a faint smile. He and Yuan Ziyu both changed their appearance slightly and did not reveal their true appearance.
"Who are you?" Xue Ren didn't put down his sword. He narrowed his eyes and asked coldly, "How did you get in? What do you want?"
"Relax, if we had any ill intentions, you would have been beheaded when you were thinking about your worries just now!" Huo Xifei still smiled faintly.
Xue Ren still did not let his guard down. "Who are you? Tell me! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"
As he spoke, Blood Blade's sword moved forward.
"We were entrusted by someone to come and see you!" Yuan Ziyu said.
"who?"
"Ghost face!" Huo Xifei said word by word.
Xue Ren was stunned when he heard this: "Ghost Face? Ghost Face asked you to come? When and where? Why did you come?"
"Just look at this and you'll know!" Huo Xifei threw something to Xue Ren.
It was a green sachet. Xue Ren did not catch it directly with his hands, but turned the tip of the sword and picked up the sachet.
Xue Ren looked at Huo Xifei and Yuan Ziyu vigilantly while checking the sachet. Seeing nothing unusual, he took the sachet off the tip of the sword.
After opening the sachet, Xue Ren looked at the contents, raised his eyebrows, glanced at Huo Xifei and Yuan Ziyu, then put away his sword.
"Why, do you believe us?" Huo Xifei asked with a smile.
"Since it was Ghost Face who sent you here, I will trust you!" Blood Blade said with a glimmer of hope: "Is he... okay?"
"Dead!" There was a hint of coldness in Huo Xifei's voice!
Hearing this, Xue Ren closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and clenched his hands on the table. "Yes, he wanted to assassinate your prince. Since the assassination failed, how can he survive? But I am surprised that you, an official of the court, have a relationship with the assassin. It really makes me curious!"
Seeing Huo Xifei remained silent, he smiled and asked, "Why, are you surprised that I guessed your identities?"
"Not surprising!" Huo Xifei raised an eyebrow. "Ghost Face said you were very smart. As for our friendship, it's just a matter of loyalty to the one who entrusted us with the task."
"Does he... have any wishes that he wants to fulfill?" Xue Ren nodded, gritted his teeth, raised his head slightly, and forced back the tears in his eyes.
Huo Xifei said calmly, "Destroy Youye Tower."
Hearing this, Xue Ren looked at Huo Xifei and asked, "Is this the reason you came here today?"
After saying this, he sneered, "Just the two of you, plus me? Do you know how many assassins and traps there are in Youye Tower? Even if I join forces with you, plus your five thousand soldiers stationed thirty miles away, it would be in vain. The assassins in Youye Tower kill without blinking an eye. They are not comparable to those reckless men who only know how to rush around."
"So, we need your help!" Yuan Ziyu said with a smile.
"What do you need me to do?" Xue Ren said without pretense, "I advise you to make all the necessary preparations before anything else. I don't know how you two managed to get through the valley behind us, but I'm afraid your five thousand soldiers are just wishful thinking if they want to. The poisonous miasma and insects in the valley are impossible to get through without the special antidote from Youye Tower."
After saying that, Xue Ren looked at Huo Xifei and Yuan Ziyou and said, "Even if Gui Mian gave you the antidote, I'm afraid it wouldn't be enough for those five thousand soldiers."
"Do you think it was Ghost Face who gave us the antidote, which allowed us to pass through the valley?" Huo Xifei asked.
"Isn't it?" Xue Ren sneered.
Yuan Ziyou snorted coldly, "Don't think that your Youye Tower's defenses are impenetrable. You're not the only one in the world that has the antidote to the valley."
"Do you have an antidote?" Xue Ren was stunned and asked hurriedly.
