Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1357: Chapter 1337: Ming Yun

After eating and drinking their fill, they each found a place to stay rather than staying together. However, this time, Luo Qianqian directly booked the presidential suite, so staying together could ensure some safety.

”Shiqi, someone’s watching us.” Yan calmly drew the curtains.

”Isn’t that obvious?” Luo Qianqian said nonchalantly, ”If you guys go for a massage now, the ones who show up might be assassins.”

”A big sword massage? What’s that? A sword?”

Luo Qianqian blushed, too embarrassed to explain, and laughed it off. That night, everyone sat in the living room practicing their cultivation, even He Wenyu resolutely chose to cultivate, leaving only An Hao sleeping.

Early in the morning, after finishing his cultivation, He Wenyu found the entire room leaving only An Hao, who was sleeping deeply, seemingly very exhausted.

After spacing out for a moment, he saw Luo Qianqian and the others returning from outside, all with serious expressions, piquing his curiosity. He approached them and asked, ”What’s going on?”

”The feeling of surveillance disappeared suddenly last night, so we went out to investigate.” Luo Qianqian naturally handed the breakfast she had conveniently bought to He Wenyu, glancing at An Hao, who was still resting, and let out a sigh of relief.

”And then?” He Wenyu looked tense, examining Luo Qianqian for any injuries.

Luo Qianqian smiled and spun in place before He Wenyu, shaking her head, ”I’m fine... when we went out, they were already gone... just a small trace of blood left, hard to notice unless you looked closely.”

”Blood? Were they killed by someone?” He Wenyu was stunned, but quickly realized, turning pale as a sheet.

For someone to be killed right under their noses without leaving a trace? That seems formidable?

”They were definitely killed, but there’s no telling who did it.” Luo Qianqian sighed softly, looking helpless, ”There’s no fluctuation of energy, no evidence of a sharp weapon used, and no sign of struggle, no telling who did it.”

”... That’s impressive?” He Wenyu shivered at the thought.

If they could kill those people silently, doesn’t it mean they could also kill them without leaving a trace?

Even as naive as she was, she didn’t think the people sent to watch them were ordinary; clearly, they had cultivation levels.

There’s no guarantee of anything, but... it’s certain their cultivation level is higher than hers.

Seeing He Wenyu’s face turn pale, Luo Qianqian gently held her hand, ”There, there, don’t worry. We set up a protective layer on the room before leaving.” Though it was Yan who set it up, ”You won’t be in danger. How could I put my siblings in danger?” Even if there is, I wouldn’t say so.

”An Hao, wake up.” Luo Qianqian looked at He Wenyu, still worried, leaving her to her thoughts. Seeing more would help her understand and cultivate harder.

She went to An Hao’s side and shook him awake.

An Hao sat up, rubbed his large eyes, and appeared confused, but still recognized Luo Qianqian, ”Sister?” He said, and then buried himself into Luo Qianqian’s arms, ”Let me sleep a bit longer, just a bit...”

As soon as he finished speaking, he fell back into a deep sleep.

Luo Qianqian was both amused and exasperated, as An Hao, excited, hadn’t slept outside the whole night and fell asleep the moment they returned, even having to be helped with washing up by others.

After the two had breakfast, the group went to check out, only to be approached by a ’stranger’ once again.

”Miss Luo, long time no see.” After they completed their check-out procedures, a man sitting to the side calmly stood up and said.

Luo Qianqian glanced at him, appearing to be in his twenties, young among those present in the lobby. He wasn’t tall, but his build was relatively proportional, and his face was quite plain, not enough to leave a lasting impression on Luo Qianqian.

However, the situation at hand made Luo Qianqian think carefully about whether she had indeed met this person before.

”And you are...?” Luo Qianqian flashed a smile, politely approaching the man, unconsciously pushing An Hao nearer to Yan.

Luo Qianqian’s question did not surprise the others, but the man appeared rather astonished.

But in the next moment, he seemed to understand, touching his face with a bitter smile, ”I forgot Miss Luo hasn’t seen this face before. I was previously Sawadera Shichirou.”

Luo Qianqian was momentarily dumbfounded, staring at the man before her with a peculiar expression. Upon closer inspection, those eyes did seem somewhat familiar, but the face was completely unfamiliar, ”What do you want with me?”

She and the fake Sawadera Shichirou did exchange a few encounters and transactions before, but was their relationship good enough for him to seek her out like this?

”My current name is Ming Yun, I’m a Ming Family illegitimate child, just taken back home.” There was a hint of helplessness on the man’s face, perhaps only he would readily mention being an illegitimate child?

”Ming Family?” Luo Qianqian raised an eyebrow, not quite familiar... Are they Chinese or what?

”Yes.” Sawadera Shichirou, no, Ming Yun didn’t talk much about the family, just looked at the people behind Luo Qianqian with a calm demeanor, ”The Ninja Killer Organization is destroyed, they accepted a mission concerning you, to take your head.”

Once Ming Yun spoke, He Wenyu was flabbergasted, what on earth is the Ninja Killer Organization?

”Who issued the mission?” He Wenyu asked instinctively.

As soon as He Wenyu finished asking, Luo Qianqian followed with another question, ”How did you know?”

”I have internal information from the destroyed organization, the issuer is unknown, but the people who came yesterday have disappeared. Your task difficulty has escalated from A-level to S-level. Furthermore, the mission reward has increased tenfold.” Ming Yun looked at Luo Qianqian seriously.

Though her appearance only looked to be around twenty-one or twenty-two years old, her words were mature beyond her apparent years.

Luo Qianqian, seeing this, had a few more doubts but nodded, ”Thank you, I understand.”

And at this moment, the clothing Ming Yun wore clearly signified his noble status, a custom-made suit, a diamond-embedded tie clip, a clearly very exquisite and expensive watch, and meticulously styled hair—Luo Qianqian found it hard to associate him with the former Sawadera Shichirou.
