The Return Of The God Level Assassin

SHEN JI YUN quickly moved towards the courtyard. He used two of his Temporary Skills – [Conceal] and [Accelerate]. Increasing his speed while hiding his presence. Arriving at the courtyard, he immediately checked every room as fast and as stealthy as he could.

As he continued to move towards a certain direction of the courtyard, the number of servants got less and less. A clear sign that heʼs going in the right direction. Then he heard a crashing sound. Like the sound of breaking glasses. Having confirmed that heʼs definitely on the right track, he rushed forward where the crashing sound came from. And he ended up in front of a room, quite isolated from the rest.

He carefully opened the door screen and looked inside. The whole room was in a mess. Books were scattered around. A table was flipped over. There were fragments of vases and tea cups on the floor. Which was what Shen Ji Yun heard breaking earlier. Three people were inside. Two men and a woman. He recognized one of the men as Lin Mo. The woman was most likely his wife – Xinyi. He wasnʼt sure about the remaining man though.

The man was wearing a simple nondescript blue robe. Even his features were plain. If he stood with a group of people, he would definitely not be the one to be noticed first.

Lin Mo was heaving violently. His whole face was red in anger. ”That damn Lin Ze! Of all the people he had to travel with, why did it have to be that godly doctor?!”

If Shen Ji Yun remembered it correctly, ʼLin Zeʼ was the name of the crown prince.

”I already told you not to be impatient. The crown prince was the only target tonight. But you still had to go and poison your father,” the man in blue said, a bit condescending.

Lin Mo glared sharply at the man. ”You could only say that because youʼre not in my position. Do you know what that old man told me before the banquet? He said why canʼt I be more like my ʼolder brotherʼ? As if that son of his never did anything wrong in his life! When in fact, he only got lucky because heʼs born from the old manʼs official wife. The daughter of a general. While my mother was just a lowly servant,” he said full of sarcasm and bitterness. ”Do you know what that old man did when my mother died because of his wifeʼs schemes? Nothing! He did nothing! As if my mother was just a piece of rag he decided to throw away. Tell me, now that I have the chance to kill the old man, why wouldnʼt I take it?”

”Because itʼs not the time,” the man in blue simply said. ”But clearly, you seem to not care. I already told you to change your habit of following your emotions. And now I have to clean up your mess.”

”Iʼm sure Ah Mo didnʼt mean for it to end up this way,” the woman – Xinyi – said, obviously defending Lin Mo.

”Of course I didnʼt,” Lin Mo said, gritting his teeth. ”Most of the mistakes that happened tonight was because of the blunder of Yuexing Pavilion. Not to mention your own blunder! You couldnʼt even stop a little girl from hearing our conversation!”

Shen Ji Yun guessed this ʼlittle girlʼ was most likely the second young miss.

”I already took care of the second young miss. And the people from Yuexing Pavilion wonʼt talk,” Xinyi assured.

Lin Mo only snorted.

”I suggest you stop that insolent act towards Her Highness. May I remind you that sheʼs still a princess of my country. You wouldnʼt achieve your dreams of becoming this countryʼs Emperor without her on your side. So I suggest you should be more courteous,” the man in blue robe said.

Those just revealed a lot of important information. Information that could solve the Mysteries in this door.

Lin Mo clenched both fists, his face completely grim. It was obvious that he was trying to control his anger. ”I know.”

”Minister Zhao, itʼs alright. You donʼt have to speak that way towards Ah Mo. Iʼm sure he already understands,” Xinyi said.

”Of course, Your Highness.” The man Xinyi called Minister Zhao stood up from where he was sitting. ”I will go and contact the others, so we could proceed to the next part of the plan. To make sure that this night would not go to waste.”

When he was about to leave, Shen Ji Yun threw the ball Uriel gave him. Soon, smoke came out from it. He closed the door of the room to make sure that the smoke wouldnʼt go outside.

A few minutes later, when the smoke subsided, he went inside. He saw the three collapsed and couldnʼt move. But all were conscious based on the glared he was receiving. The fact that they werenʼt screaming or shouting at him right now proved that, not only were they paralyzed, they also couldnʼt talk.

So, Shen Ji Yun went and tied the three up.

”So, is Yunyue planning to join the next season of Arcadia Cup?” Uriel suddenly asked.

Luo Yan glanced at the guy. They were currently standing behind a huge tree near the courtyard, waiting for Shen Ji Yun to go back. ”Why do you suddenly ask?”

Duan Yu shrugged. ”Because my teamʼs captain would love to have a proper fight with your team. Well, more specifically, your captain. He would definitely be glad if I tell him Yunyue is back.”

Which was the truth. Li Xu Min have longed wanted to have a proper battle against Yunyue. Probably because he just wanted to know if Celestials was really the best team in Arcadia. Or if theyʼre only the best because they had never fought against Yunyue.

Luo Yan smiled interestingly at Uriel. ”What, your captain is not afraid my captain is going to beat his ass?”

”I donʼt know about that. But Iʼm sure my captain wouldnʼt be beaten so easily. Especially by someone who hasnʼt fought a team battle for five years. Your captain might have already lost his touch, for all we know,” Duan Yu said, smiling back at Noctis.

For some reason, that kind of pissed off Luo Yan. It seemed he didnʼt like hearing people say those kind of words about Shen Ji Yun. Like him ʼlosing his touchʼ or something. Was it because they belong to the same team now? And any doubts about his ability would also reflecte the teamʼs?

Before he could think more, the person in question suddenly appeared beside him.

”I got all the answers we need,” Shen Ji Yun directly said.
