Chapter 52: Assassin (1)

  "That man is Devil May Cry!"

  Mu Beichuan, who had been keeping a straight face and hadn't spoken for a long time, finally spoke up.

  "Oh!" Xia Tong responded with a sound, looking at Mu Beichuan's solemn expression. Apparently, he hadn't recovered from the shock earlier and was clearly frightened!

  Ha! Kids are still kids, beneath their pretended toughness lies a timidity that has never been seen before!

  "He's a devil!" Mu Beichuan repeated again, looking at her with some incomprehension.

  "I know! His name is Gui Nu." Xia Tong replied, she already knew that the man's name was Gui Nu, no need to repeat it again!

  "He's the infamous Ghost Cry, a name that makes people change color! Mu Beichuan paused for a moment before continuing: "Legend has it that he never leaves a job unfinished. The person he's supposed to kill at this moment will never appear in front of you again in the next!"

  Wow! That wooden guy is actually an assassin! Xia Tong broke out in a cold sweat, he had just boasted about protecting him! Rubbing his neck, did he just get lucky and escape with his life? Just now, the other hadn't killed him after all!

  Mu Beichuan couldn't help but laugh at her actions: "He never kills anyone who doesn't have a buyer!"

  Sweat! So that's how it is! Xia Tong let out a sigh of relief!

  "But he's appearing here now, there must be a buyer! " Cheng's calm voice raised Xiaotong's heart again: Will someone else die?

  Sneaking back to the mansion, she still had a lingering fear about today's encounter! Xia Tong instructed Chen, not to mention this to anyone, fearing that Mu Bei Chen would worry!

  It was night, Xia Tong soaked in the hot water, comfortably closed his eyes, and relaxed all over: Liu Ying's heartache had relapsed, and Mu Bei Chen went to her place!

  Although she was unhappy in her heart, she was Dust's benefactor who saved his life. She couldn't let him be unjust, and after all, Liu Ying was also a pitiful woman! In this world without relatives, the only man she could rely on had fallen in love with someone else!

  If she hadn't appeared, he would have been happy!

  "Princess!" Qing Lian called out as she scattered flower petals into the water.

  "Hmm!" Natsumi opened her eyes and looked at her.

  "Are you and Beiwangye just pretending? You don't really love him, do you?" Qingli looked at her with eyes full of expectation!

  "Can't I fall in love with him?" Xia Tong asked, a hint of laziness in her expression.

  Qing's face immediately fell, and she asked incredulously, "You really forgot the Second Prince? You two used to be so in love!"

  Oh no, here we go again! Headache!

  In her heart, Xia Tong always felt guilty towards Mu Yunsheng because Mu Yan was killed by her!

  "Go down! I'll handle it myself!" She calmly ordered Qing to leave, she really didn't want to get entangled with that deeply affectionate Second Prince again. Just thinking of his eyes made Xiaotong feel guilty!

  Qing Li wanted to say something else, his mouth moved slightly, looking at Xia Tong who closed her eyes and leaned against the edge of the bucket, but in the end he didn't say anything, responded with a sound and retreated.

  After a long time, in the dimly lit eyes, on the red candlelit paper window, there was a black shadow passing by, moving towards the door.

  The door creaked open, and Xia Tong couldn't help but furrow her brow: Qing Li was getting more and more reckless, not showing the slightest restraint towards her; what's more, she was still entangled in the affairs of the Second Prince.

  Picking up the flower petals in the water, smelling its unique fragrance. "Qing Li, didn't I tell you to go out?" Xia Tong said with a somewhat displeased tone without turning his head.

  The young man who came in didn't respond, still walked over, the sole of his shoes rubbed against the ground, making a soft rustling sound, which sounded somewhat heavy!

  No!

  Xia Tong suddenly stood up, turned around, and a cold sword tip was already pressed against her neck, seeping into her skin was the chilling feeling of bone-piercing coldness!
