We cannot afford to be careless.
Shen Qiyin chuckled and said to her, half-jokingly, "If anything really happens, you should stay far away."
"Don't worry, this is something I'm best at."
She didn't read so many novels and watch so many TV dramas for nothing.
She doesn't possess superb martial arts skills or a decisive mind, so why not play it safe and avoid causing them trouble?
but……
"If I had really run away when there was danger, wouldn't you be sad, Miss?"
"Sad?" Shen Qiyin looked at him with an expression that seemed to say, "What is that? Is it tasty?" "What's there to be sad about? The little bit of benefit I gave you isn't worth you risking your life for me."
Xianglan thought to herself, "What an amazing boss!"
She was so excited that she couldn't control herself and hugged Shen Qiyin, giving her a quick kiss.
Xiao Yan's guards, hidden in the shadows, stared wide-eyed at each other, trying to figure out: Was she not going to take advantage of the girl? Should they kill her?
Xianglan was unaware that because of her loose tongue, she almost became a victim of Xiao Yan's guards.
On the way back, perhaps because of the crowds, Shen Qiyin led Xianglan to choose an alleyway.
Whether it was Xianglan's bad luck or something else, just as they were winding their way to Guangrentang, several dark figures suddenly descended from the sky, wielding sharp blades, and headed straight for Shen Qiyin!
Just as Huo Fanshuang suddenly appeared and grabbed Shen Qiyin to help her escape, Xiao Yan's men had already dealt with the assassins one by one.
He didn't die, but his tendons in his hands and feet were severed.
Right now, someone is standing at his feet, interrogating the mastermind behind it all.
Shen Qiyin glanced at the dumbfounded Huo Fanshuang, then at Xianglan, who was burying her head in her arms, trembling but covering her vital parts tightly.
She said, "Didn't we agree to stay far away?"
Xianglan looked up, her face on the verge of tears: "I wanted to hide." But "wanting" was a plan, yet her reaction when the assassin came was thoughtless and purely instinctive.
Shen Qiyin gently patted Xianglan's head, then turned to look at Huo Fanshuang, who was still in a daze, without saying anything to disturb her.
Because she heard that voice again!
"This is not the system's fault. The system is innocent. The system can only detect information about the mission target itself. These guards are not hers, so the system cannot detect them."
"Please be mindful of your behavior, host. The system is not trash; it's just that you're too petty and unwilling to spend a lot of points to exchange for a high-level assassin, which is why you were taken down in one move."
"Confirm spending 1000 points to redeem the Super Assassin?"
"Order confirmation in progress, please wait."
"Order has been sent, please check."
Before she could finish speaking, Shen Qiyin saw several more figures appear out of thin air and instantly engage in combat with the guards.
Although she didn't know martial arts, she noticed that the later group of assassins weren't taken down in one move like the previous ones, so she knew they were indeed quite skilled.
Thinking of something, Shen Qiyin glanced at Huo Fanshuang beside her.
The latter happened to look at her, then grabbed her and prepared to run into the alley next door: "Come with me!"
She remained in her marriage, but did not leave.
Huo Fanshuang frowned: "What are you still standing there for? Don't you want to die?"
Shen Qiyin calmly withdrew her hand: "If I stay here, those assassins won't be able to get close to me. But if I go with you, what if new assassins come to ambush me?"
"We can run to a safe place first. What if those guards can't defeat those assassins? Aren't you just waiting to die if you stay here?"
"Oh." Shen Qiyin gave a "whatever" response: "That's just fate."
"you……"
While the two were talking, an assassin suddenly appeared, risking exposing their rear, determined to deliver a fatal blow to Shen Qiyin.
In a flash, Huo Fanshuang suddenly stepped in front of her without regard for anything else.
puff--
The dull thud of a blade piercing flesh echoed, and a few drops of blood splattered onto Shen Qiyin's cheek.
In the dimly lit alley, her gaze was eerily serene.
Chu Si expressionlessly pulled the sword that had pierced the assassin's chest. When he looked at Shen Qiyin, the murderous intent in his eyes had completely vanished, and he even had a grin on his face: "Miss, were you scared?"
Shen Xiyin shook her head.
She casually wiped the blood from her face, and when she looked at Huo Fanshuang, she keenly noticed the fleeting disappointment on her face.
Meanwhile, on the fourth day, they once again dealt with all the assassins.
Unfortunately, they couldn't uncover anything.
After thinking for a moment, Shen Qiyin said to Chu Si, "Go to the clinic and ask your senior brother for some corpse-dissolving water."
Most of the neighbors in this neighborhood are ordinary people. It's the Lunar New Year, and if you wake up early tomorrow morning to find dead bodies lying haphazardly in the alley, it's a really bad omen.
While Chu Si and the others were dealing with the corpse, Shen Qiyin heard the thing called "System" speak again.
"These are already the top-tier assassins that this system can summon. It's not that they are weak, but that the opponent is too strong, probably because the level of this plane is too high."
"Okay, proceed with the query now."
"The target's favorability towards the host has been detected to be -80. We cannot rule out the possibility that they have dangerous intentions to harm the host."
"If there is no system failure, it is -80."
"Okay, proceed with the query now."
"The target has a 100% affinity with the maidservant, indicating a desire to spoil her like a precious treasure."
...
Upon hearing this, Shen Qiyin unconsciously turned to look at Xianglan in front of her, her expression quite complicated.
