C19 Assassination

Xianyu Zhi originally did not want to agree, but when he saw the man's determined look, he could not help but sneer in his heart.

Alright, since he came looking for trouble, she might as well carry out a good punishment on behalf of the heavens and teach this playboy of a rich family a lesson.

"Fine, tell me, how do you want to bet?"

A smile immediately appeared on the man's face. He kept tapping the fan in his hand and started to talk about the bet.

"It's still early. There are rabbits being sold in the morning market at the foot of the mountain. You and I will go buy rabbits. Whoever buys them first will win."

Xianyu Zhi could not help but laugh, what kind of bet was this? How childish!

"Let's first agree that Qing Gong is not to be used." Seeing the smile on Xianyu Zhi's face, the man naturally knew what she was thinking and immediately added.

After that, without waiting for Xianyu Zhi's reply, the man ran off like a wisp of smoke.

"If you admit your defeat, then I will follow you!"

His voice sounded from within the mountain path, Xianyu Zhi watched him leave and disdainfully smiled, then leisurely walked towards the path behind him.

That wasn't the only way down the mountain.

Xianyu Zhi was full of confidence as he leisurely walked to the market at the foot of the mountain. He reckoned that the man would not come here so quickly, so he bought all the rabbits at the stall.

She picked a rabbit at random and carried it up the mountain. The rest she set free when she passed by the river.

Looking at the white furry rabbits fleeing in all directions, she suddenly felt that her actions ? It really did look like he was playing along with a childish fool.

How could I agree to such a boring bet with him?

She originally thought that she had taken a shortcut and was even quick enough, but when she returned to her original spot, she saw that the man had already returned with a rabbit in his hand.

"How is it? I still won, right?" The man smiled coquettishly and released the rabbit in his arms into the bushes.

Xianyu Zhi squinted, he... It couldn't be that fast. There must be something fishy going on!

"You didn't go down the mountain at all, did you?"

The man tilted his head. Just as he was about to refute Xianyu Zhi, his gaze suddenly saw a black shadow flash out from behind Xianyu Zhi.

The people who came were not friendly!

"Get out of the way." As he reminded her, he flew forward to pull her away.

Xianyu Zhi had also sensed the danger, but with his back facing the black figure, she did not react in time. Adding to the fact that the black figure's martial arts was extremely high, just as she was turning around, the black figure's blade should have cut down towards her shoulder.

The crimson blood instantly soaked through the fabric of her clothes. Seeing that it did not even manage to harm her vital parts, the assassin struck again.

Xianyu Zhi endured the pain and retaliated, while the man attacked together with her.

"He wants your life." At this time, he was rather calm, and quickly analyzed to Xianyu Zhi.

The masked man in black could not take four punches, and he only knew how to stab with his blade. He didn't know how to react, so he was quickly at a disadvantage.

The masked man saw that he was no match for the two of them, so he immediately jumped onto the tree and ran away.

The man originally wanted to give chase, but upon thinking about Xianyu Zhi's injuries, he stomped his feet in anger and turned back to check on her injuries.

Xianyu Zhi's face turned pale, she bit her lips and tried her best to endure the pain.

If it was just a knife wound, it wouldn't be so serious. When he saw the black gas on her wound, he immediately understood.

The knife wound was poisonous.

He did not have time to think, and immediately carried the almost unconscious Xianyu Zhi across his chest, and quickly rushed back to the temple.

In the room, the man was bandaging her wounds as he said, "Don't think too much about it, I just can't stand by and watch her die."

This should not be within the scope of what she said at the beginning.

Xianyu Zhi did not reply. She thought back to what man in black had done just now, and guessed that he must have been an assassin who specialized in collecting silver coins in the martial arts world. The only person who wanted her life, other than the Zhao mother and daughter, was Yue Xuan yesterday.

However, although Yue Xuan was ruthless, his actions were straightforward and he would not send out assassins.

Then, the only one left would be the Zhao and her daughter.

So it turned out that they didn't kill her on the way back. They only wanted to wait for her to settle down and relax her guard before killing her.

What vicious thoughts. When she returned to the manor, she would settle this debt with the mother and daughter pair.

"We have to be careful in the next few days. If they don't achieve their goal, they will come back." After Xiao Yunchen was bandaged, he crossed his chest and stood in front of Xianyu Zhi and spoke with a stern expression.

Xianyu Zhi nodded, "I know."

Compared to any of the three requirements, Xianyu Qi was very clear on this point.

Xianyu Zhi looked at his arm that was wrapped in gauze, and recalled the poison on his wound, and immediately lowered his eyes and did not say anything.

The man didn't stay for long and left first after instructing her to take care of herself.

The situation had been bad since morning and Xianyu Zhi didn't have time to think about the man's identity. He hadn't been lying on the bed for very long and was feeling weak.

Xianyu Zhi pushed open the door and took the box, but just as he was about to leave, a voice suddenly called out to him, "In these past few days, there has been a guest of great beauty in clothes coming to the temple, do you have any impression of him?"

"Benefactor is referring to Benefactor Xiao Yunchen?"

Xianyu Zhi nodded and replied, "Yes."

"Benefactor Xiao is not someone from the capital, so this little monk does not dare to speak carelessly. I only know that Benefactor Xiao is extremely generous and gave a lot of money to the temple."

Little Shamei said straightforwardly, clasped her hands, and backed out.

So his surname was Xiao. Just knowing this much information made Xianyu Zhi a little disappointed.

But at least it was as he had guessed, this Xiao fella was not from the capital.

The window was ajar, and from time to time, a breeze would blow in, causing Xianyu Zhi to feel sleepy again after lying on the bed for a while.

After sleeping for the afternoon, Xianyu Zhi drowsily sat up from the bed, surprised to find that the medicinal furnace at the corner of the wall had disappeared. The maidservant was also not in his room.

She immediately became alert, and opened the door wearing a thin layer of clothes. She saw maidservant in the courtyard, holding a small fan and helping her fan the fire and boil the medicine.

The prescription was the same one from last time. maidservant had always thought it was a tonic.

Xianyu Zhi was moved, she walked straight to the front of the medicine furnace, moved a stool over and sat down.

"Let me do it."

maidservant knew her young miss's personality. She looked at her worriedly, then accepted her orders and left.

Xianyu Zhi was quietly boiling the medicine, raising his head from time to time to glance into the distance. Ever since she had crossed over to this world, the major events had been uninterrupted. The development of losing her composure and becoming more and more distant from her original thoughts.

Amidst the smoke, she let out a faint sigh and lightly waved her fan to control the heat. Suddenly, he heard footsteps approaching behind him.

She thought that maidservant had returned. Just as she was about to turn around, a letter was handed over to her.

"Young Master Xiao asked me to pass this to Miss." It was an eleven year old Attendant standing beside her.

Xianyu Zhi glanced at the Attendant, and only received the envelope after confirming there were no problems.

What was this Xiao fella up to?

When she opened the envelope, she took a quick glance at it, and her face lit up with a mixture of exasperation and amusement.
