Chapter 427: Chapter 425: Hidden Assassin (2nd Update)

”Hmm, that’s right, we can’t lose. Tomorrow we’ll give those people from Goryeo a harsh lesson! Let them realize our strength. They think they can trample over the Chen Family Martial Arts Hall? They must be dreaming.”

All the instructors from the Chen Family Martial Arts Hall scoffed with disdain.

As night fell in Yanjing, within an old-fashioned residence, stood a group of people in one of the rooms.

On the bed in this room lay a young man, none other than Young Master Hua Hai of the Hua Family. At this moment, an elderly man with grizzled hair, dressed in a long white robe, was intently manipulating a series of silver needles on Hua Hai’s body, whose previously frenzied state had now subsided.

A few seconds later, the old man retrieved the silver needles and took a deep breath.

”Father, how is Little Hai now?”

Standing beside the old man was a middle-aged man with the look of a scholar, his face showing a hint of worry; it was Hua Chun, Hua Hai’s father.

”Little Hai is fine now.”

The old man shook his head; he was the Patriarch Hua, one of the top three National Physicians in China, known as Old Hua.

”Who exactly is that boy? Not only did he snatch the Fire Spirit Ganoderma, but he also caused Little Hai to end up like this.”

Hua Chun’s eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and his face showed some displeasure.

”What I’m concerned about isn’t this, but the boy’s acupuncture skills. A single needle can produce such an effect that even I had to exert significant effort to bring Little Hai back to normal. It shows that this boy’s Traditional Chinese Medicine Acupuncture Technique is extraordinary, even stronger than you!”

Old Hua’s face was grave as he spoke.

”How could that be possible? According to the guard, that kid is only in his twenties, how could he possess such profound acupuncture knowledge!”

Hua Chun found it hard to believe. His own mastery of acupuncture was the result of hard study for twenty or thirty years, accumulating countless experiences to reach his current level.

He considered his own acupuncture skills to be only slightly inferior to those of Old Hua, yet his father was telling him that a kid in his twenties surpassed him. It was naturally hard for Hua Chun to accept.

It’s like spending decades to accomplish something, only for someone to do it even better within minutes. Such a massive gap in achievement is something that no one can easily accept.

”In this world, there are people called geniuses. When it comes to geniuses, they can’t be judged by ordinary standards. They often have more advantages than regular people when doing certain things.”

Old Hua said with a calm demeanor.

”Could that guy be a medical genius?” Hua Chun said, finding it difficult to believe.

”You can send someone to thoroughly investigate the other party’s identity and all relevant information. It has been a long time since I’ve met such a person. I am quite curious to learn about who this individual is, with such impressive acupuncture skills!”

Interest sparked in Old Hua’s eyes as he spoke.

”Yes, father!”

Hua Chun nodded and then brought up another concern, ”Then father, what about the Fire Spirit Ganoderma?”

”Since it has already been taken by someone else, it only proves that it was not meant for us.”

”But...”

”Enough, let’s leave it at that. It’s just a Fire Spirit Ganoderma, the Hua Family can certainly bear this loss!”

Old Hua waved his hand, speaking with a calm expression.

Meanwhile, in a room belonging to the Yanjing Xiao Family, Xiao Ding and Situ Yan were sitting together, each drinking tea and red wine, respectively.

Situ Yan’s face was gloomy, with a hint of darkness in his eyes.

Xiao Ding held a cup of tea and took a gentle sip, his eyes deep with thought.

”I really have no idea what Yan Haotian is thinking. That kid provoked Dragon Soul so blatantly and even killed a Qi Condensation Realm expert from the Zilongwei; yet, Haotian does nothing, and he even forbids Dragon Soul from targeting Xiao Yifeng any further. Could it be that this kid has some connection with Yan Haotian? Or perhaps Yan Haotian is also associated with Xiao Chen?”

The cold light flickered in Situ Yan’s eyes as he spoke coldly.

”There shouldn’t be any relationship. Although Xiao Chen and Yan Haotian knew each other back then, they were not very close. Moreover, both of them were famous masters among the younger generation in Yanjing at the time, so they even had a big fight once. There was no deep friendship between them.”

”Besides, this person is wholly devoted to the country and Dragon Soul; he wouldn’t do this just because of Xiao Chen. There must be other reasons, we just don’t know them.”

Xiao Ding spoke with a calm expression, one by one.

”What do we do now? This child has increasingly exceeded our expectations. Not only has he recovered from his severed meridians, but he also possesses such strong strength. If this continues, he might return to the Xiao Family. What then of Yi Yun?”

Situ Yan coldly spat out.

A sharp light flashed in Xiao Ding’s eyes: ”Given his temperament now, returning to the Xiao Family seems unlikely, but keeping him around is indeed a problem. If he continues to grow, the consequences will be unpredictable!”

”Do you have a plan?”

Situ Yan’s gaze turned to Xiao Ding.

”I’ve already contacted someone from Hidden Assassin.”

Xiao Ding said indifferently while sipping his tea.

”Hidden Assassin?”

Situ Yan’s eyes narrowed, ”You mean that mysterious organization that has been passed down for thousands of years in the Martial Arts World?”

”That’s right, Hidden Assassin is like the assassin organizations in the Secular World, but they are much stronger and specialize in dealing with powerful martial artists.”

”This organization has been around for thousands of years, mysterious and terrifying. Anyone they aim to kill, there’s no one they can’t kill. As long as they make a move, that boy is as good as dead!”

Xiao Ding said with absolute certainty.

”Legend has it that ordinary people can’t even contact Hidden Assassin, and to ask them to make a move comes at a considerable price!”

Situ Yan spoke up.

”Correct. However, I happen to know someone who can contact Hidden Assassin. You don’t have to worry, that kid is as good as dead!”

Xiao Ding spoke in a heavy tone, his gaze slightly squinting, looking at Situ Yan: ”Do you still have feelings for him in your heart?”

Hearing Xiao Ding’s words, Situ Yan’s expression changed slightly, ”What are you talking about? Since he did what he did, I’ve long forgotten him.”

”Yan’er, I know that you didn’t genuinely want to marry me back then, you did so because of him. But because I love you, I won’t care about these things. However, after so many years, I hope you can understand that I am the one who truly loves you!”

Xiao Ding said with a grave expression.

”Madam, Miss Qiaan’er is here!”

Just then, the voice of Situ Yan’s maid came from outside the room.

”Don’t think too much, I will go meet Qiaan’er now.”

Situ Yan said as she got up to leave.

Watching Situ Yan leave, a hard-to-describe look flashed in the depths of Xiao Ding’s eyes.

In another room of the Xiao Family, a woman dressed in a professional suit was sitting there.

She was a stunningly beautiful woman that elicited a feeling of amazement.

The woman had long, straight, waterfall-like glossy dark hair that cascaded over her rounded shoulders. Her face was a standard melon seed shape with crystal-clear and bright eyes, with long and dense eyelashes, and arching willow-shaped eyebrows.

The pair of black pupils shone brightly, as if they could speak, with a high and delicate nose bridge and cherry-red lips that were incredibly sexy.

The whole person exuded an aura of nobility, aloofness, and assertiveness, with a look in her eyes that scoffed at everything.
