Chapter 492 is a bombshell! Number One on the Assassin Ranking [1 Update]
Rita was still wondering how angry Evan would be when Ying Zijing arrived.
Caught off guard, she heard something that made her hand tremble, almost dropping her phone: "You... what did you say?"
Even though the number one poison master doesn't even have a name on the NOK poison master list, he still intimidates other hunters.
Poison masters are so mysterious and unpredictable that only powerful hypnotists can barely control them.
No hunter would want to be enemies with the top five poison masters on the list.
Although the Third Poison Master is mentally unstable, his strength is beyond doubt.
The second poison master is elusive; once he appears, he will poison you.
It has been more than two years since the Second Poison Master last appeared, as if he had vanished from the world.
Rita knew that the IBI and the International Virus Center were both hunting down the Second Poisoner.
“I said—” Ying Zijing changed her approach, speaking in a very lazy tone, “I will use my position as the number one poison master to detoxify your father.”
This method made Rita's hands shake even more.
Numerous past scenes strung together before her eyes, flashing by rapidly.
She remembered asking Ying Zijing what she wanted to do with the First Poison Master, and Ying Zijing replied that she wanted to expose frauds.
Then I remembered how calm Ying Zijing was when they met that imposter, and how she even dared to take action directly.
This is all because...
In the end, only four letters remained in Rita's mind.
Fuck!
The number one poison master is a young girl even younger than her?!
What the hell does this leave the other hunters?
Rita is a genius, so she has always been flamboyant and quite arrogant.
One reason she was popular on the NOK forum, besides her background with the Bevin family, was that she had already entered the Hunter Rankings at an extremely young age.
Rita is rather narcissistic, but she's happier when someone beats her because she has a role model to learn from.
Back on that small island in the Pacific Ocean inhabited by hunters, she witnessed Ying Zijing's marksmanship; ranking her in the top five of the marksman list was beyond question.
A true marksman is someone who hits the bullseye every time.
But Ying Zijin was not on the list.
So when the medicine Ying Zijing gave her helped the head of the Beiwen family recover, she guessed that Ying Zijing was probably a reclusive poison master.
Who would have thought it would be such a bombshell?
Rita was in a daze, her mind a jumble of thoughts.
Ying Zijing waited for a minute but received no response: "Hello?"
"I...I need to calm down!" Rita finally found her voice and spoke with great difficulty, "I'm a bit devastated, and I feel like jumping into the river right now."
Ying Zijin: "..."
There's no need for that.
The phone rang with the sound of a lot of texting. A few minutes later, Rita spoke again, very cautiously: "You...you just told me like that? Aren't you afraid something will happen?"
Hunters always try to hide their identities because the hunters at the top of the rankings have many enemies.
As far as she knew, a couple of years ago, one of the Manson Family's heirs was assassinated, and the Manson Family was doing everything in their power to hunt down the assassin, but they hadn't found him yet.
Of course, the hunter with the most enemies is the number one on the assassin list.
Bounty lists are usually not for hunters, but this top-ranked assassin made it onto the list.
Last year, when Rita looked at the bounty list, the bounty for the top hitman was a billion US dollars, but this year it has doubled again.
Ying Zijing said calmly, "They also need to have this ability."
She works as a poison master, using part of alchemy and part of ancient medicine.
The internal energy used in ancient medicine does not need to be very profound, so as long as the materials are available, she can create the corresponding poison.
The problem is that there are too few materials.
Rita choked.
Too.
The First Poison Master is poisonous all over; if hunters heard that, they would run far away.
She was somewhat relieved that she hadn't been poisoned to death.
“Okay, then,” Rita said. “I’ll tell you about my father’s current symptoms.”
After listening to her, Ying Zijing pondered for a moment and said, "I need to go to the site to see the specifics. You should look for the medicinal herbs first."
"Okay, okay." Rita wrote down the dozen or so medicinal herbs she mentioned. "We'll contact you again when you arrive."
She put down her phone, but her emotions remained unsettled for a long time.
An hour later, Rita calmed down completely and logged into the NOK forum.
Her bounty post was on the homepage, and many people replied, but no one accepted the bounty, only saying they could give it a try.
Even the Third Poison Master failed; what can they possibly do?
Rita started typing a reply.
[Someone answered the call, everyone can go now. Later, when you go to my shopping mall, I'll give you all a free meal.]
This reply left the experts somewhat bewildered.
Who answered?
[@Please take your medicine, someone more capable than you has appeared. Come quick!]
【@PleaseTakeAMedicine】: I'm currently looking at pretty girls at the front desk of the virus center, please don't bother me.
Rita replied, following Ying Zijin's instructions.
The First Poison Master.
After sending the message, she quickly went offline, thinking to herself, "You guys are scared to death."

At this moment, Fu Yunshen was brewing tea.
The phone rang.
He glanced at it, wiped his hands, and answered, "What's up?"
"Hey, have you checked the NOK forum?" the bartender asked excitedly. "The Bevan family has found the number one poisoner. Haven't you been looking for one too? Want to get in touch?"
Fu Yunshen asked calmly, "What am I looking for?"
The bartender paused for a moment: "Sorry, I forgot, I apologize..."
Fu Yunshen wanted to find the top poison master because he wanted to cure Old Master Fu's illness.
Now that Grandpa Fu is no longer here, there's no need to look for him anymore.
"So you don't want to meet him?" the bartender said. "It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Don't you want to get to know someone other than yourself who's number one on the list?"
Fu Yunshen lifted his eyelids slightly: "I don't have time. My little one is more skilled than the First Poison Master, and she's also cute and pretty. I'll take care of her."
Bartender: "..."
Okay, okay.
Your child is the best.
Even more powerful than a diviner.
The bartender felt that their conversation could not continue, so he said, "Are you still going back to O continent? You've been in China for almost two years now."
"Perhaps." Fu Yunshen raised his eyes slightly. "It depends on what my child wants."
"..."
"Your bounty has gone up again." The bartender barely suppressed his impatience. "It's two billion US dollars now. The underworld in O continent has gone crazy. Many top mercenaries are teaming up to find you. Are you really planning to stay in hiding forever?"
The bartender was also a hunter, and he met Fu Yunshen during a mission.
If it weren't for this chance encounter, he would never have imagined that the number one assassin on the list was a spoiled young master.
Moreover, the bartender only learned last year from a financial magazine that Fu Yunshen was actually a senior executive of the Venus Group and had been appointed as the president of the Asia-Pacific region.
Open and aboveboard.
This is simply treating those who searched high and low for his influence like monkeys.
"Two billion US dollars?" Fu Yunshen chuckled thoughtfully. "I'm actually a little tempted."
The bartender was taken aback: "What, are you a little tempted?"
"I put a bounty on myself, and then I'll get two billion US dollars for my kid."
"..."
grass.
The bartender hung up the phone immediately.
Fu Yunshen casually tossed his phone aside, brewed some tea, and then went to knock on the door of the next room.
"Enter."
Fu Yunshen pushed open the door and went in.
Ying Zijing didn't turn around; she was still video chatting with Wen Tinglan.
Then Wen Tinglan noticed something was wrong. He looked at the person who had suddenly appeared in the frame and asked, "...What are you doing here?"
It's so late, why is Fu Yunshen still able to freely enter and leave his sister's room?
Fu Yunshen's expression remained unchanged, but he became somewhat lazy as he held up the plate in his hand: "Here's some fruit."
"Oh, you can go now that you've delivered it all." Wen Tinglan said coldly, "I need to have a private conversation with my sister."
Ying Zijin was also looking at him.
"..."
OK.
Fu Yunshen put down the plate and teapot, his eyelashes fluttering slightly.
Where Wen Tinglan couldn't see, he raised his hand and pinched the girl's waist.
The itch arises suddenly.
Ying Zijin was caught off guard and almost lost her balance.
She looked at him expressionlessly, without saying a word, but her entire being conveyed a message—
Get out of here.
"I've made up my mind." After Fu Yunshen left, Wen Tinglan spoke in a low voice, "I don't want to have anything to do with her. Please treat her the way she treated me back then."
"From now on, my dad, her, and I will be strangers."
Ying Zijing paused slightly, then chuckled, "Then let's do it this way."
That's fine, it avoids any cause-and-effect implications.
Ying Zijing got up, combed her hair, and went out.
We happened to encounter clouds and mist.
Ying Zijin nodded: "Do you have a sack?"
A big question mark appeared on Yunwu's expressionless face.
"Bring one along," Ying Zijing yawned. "We'll trap someone tomorrow."
Yunwu silently turned around, went to the storage room, and dragged out a burlap sack.
He followed behind Ying Zijin, pondered for a while, took out his phone, and sent a text message to Yunshan.
[Second Brother, Miss Ying is going to take me out to play herself ^_^]
Yunshan, who was torturing Ji Tianhao with instruments of torture: "???"
You're not just expressionless, you're a black-hearted devil, aren't you?
**
The next morning.
The news of the Ji family's affairs quickly reached the ears of many other families.
The Lin family also found out.
The Ji family belonged to the Xie family faction, and Lin Jiale accepted the outcome without further concern.
But An Roujin was so angry that she tore up a piece of embroidery.
What good luck! I actually ran into Yue Fuyi.
Will I be so lucky next time?
Yue Fuyi is a cultivation fanatic who often goes into seclusion to cultivate.
An Roujin's eyes held a complex mix of emotions. She put down her embroidery needle, made up her mind, and went to find Lin Qingjia.
An Roujin cut to the chase: "I'm going to see him, are you coming or not?"
Lin Qingjia paused, her hand holding the cup still. She knew who An Roujin was talking about, and shook her head: "I don't have time recently. I still need to prepare medicinal herbs and go to O Continent with Doctor Gu."
Hearing this, An Roujin breathed a sigh of relief: "Remember, your father is Jin Yun, and he will be too."
Wen Fengmian is an ordinary person and is not worthy of Lin Qingjia's status and identity.
"Then I'll be going now." An Roujin covered her mouth with a handkerchief. "Please help cover for your father."
Lin Qingjia nodded: "Mother, please be careful."
An Roujin left quickly.
Because she was going to see Wen Fengmian, after leaving the ancient martial arts world, An Roujin made an excuse to transfer her two bodyguards away.
She knew where the Ji family's villa area was. Unlike the laboratory area, which was heavily guarded, the villa area was loosely managed, so she could easily get in.
It's noon now, and Wen Fengmian has no experimental projects, so he's staying at home.
Ji Yihang and his family were not home.
Wen Fengmian was about to go to the cafeteria for lunch.
An Roujin went to greet her at this moment.
"Fengmian, we meet again." She smiled. "You're living so well now. Why didn't you come back sooner? If you had come back earlier, you wouldn't have had to suffer so much in Qingshui County."
Wen Fengmian stopped and looked at her calmly without saying a word.
“I’m here to tell you that you absolutely must not think about going to Qingjia. She won’t acknowledge you.” An Roujin coughed twice. “I also don’t want you to appear in the ancient martial arts world again. You probably don’t know how high Qingjia’s status is now.”
"She has a new younger brother now, so the other brother is no longer needed."
These words caused Wen Fengmian's gaze to gradually turn cold.
"The biggest concession I'm giving you is that you can stay here at the Ji family's place comfortably." An Roujin smiled again. "Alright, I won't say anything more. I hope you have some self-awareness."
After she finished speaking, she waited for Wen Fengmian's reply, but she never received one.
An Roujin was somewhat annoyed.
She married Wen Fengmian because she wanted to use him to enter the Ji family, but it was also because Wen Fengmian was extremely handsome and had an outstanding temperament.
But what An Roujin found most annoying was Wen Fengmian's indifferent attitude, as if nothing concerned him.
Just as she was about to lose all patience and continue making threats, Wen Fengmian finally spoke, saying calmly, "Turn around."
See you this afternoon.
