At last, the people sent by the Mo Luo Sect arrived. There were two of them.
They ran to Ye Xiu’s side and knelt.
"Young Master, we apologize. It’s our fault for failing to guard the tombs, leading to today’s tragedy. Please grant us death as punishnt!"
"This isn’t your fault." Ye Xiu stood up and said in a deep voice, "I only asked you to install caras to monitor the tombs, not to stand guard here. It’s understandable that you couldn’t arrive in ti."
"Thank you for sparing our lives, Young Master!" the two said.
"Get up. Take my mother’s and my maternal grandparents’ urns to Qiancheng Farm. Pick a good spot to build a new tomb and let know when it’s ready. I’ll personally attend the burial," Ye Xiu instructed.
"As you command!"
The two n carefully placed the urns in their car. One of them drove away while the other stayed behind to clean up the scene.
Ye Xiu returned to his car, but the roiling killing intent in his chest refused to settle.
"You... you’re Huang Quan, right?" Kuroki Suzu asked timidly, plucking up her courage.
"You know too much!" Ye Xiu said coldly.
Kuroki Suzu’s delicate body shivered, and her pretty face turned pale. She hastily stamred, "I-I-I... I won’t tell anyone! You... you won’t kill to silence , will you?"
A person’s reputation precedes them, like the shadow of a tree. Huang Quan was a na synonymous with slaughter and death. There was no one in this world who didn’t fear that na, and Kuroki Suzu was no exception.
"It’s good that you know." Ye Xiu took a deep breath, finally suppressing his negative emotions. "At least this way, you’ll never dare to betray ."
"I wouldn’t leave now even if you told to," Kuroki Suzu said. Previously, she had agreed to beco an undercover agent for Ye Xiu only because her family was in his hands and because of what the master had said. She had been forced to side with him.
But things were different now. How many people on Earth dread of following Huang Quan but lacked the qualifications? Now that she was with him, she wouldn’t leave even if it killed her. This was her great fortune! Her honor!
"Then just work for obediently," Ye Xiu said as he started the car.
"From now on, if you tell to go east, I’ll never go west." Kuroki Suzu imdiately pledged her loyalty. The master was so right! As long as I don’t make an enemy of Ye Xiu, the rest of my life will be full of wealth and fortune. How thrilling!
The two arrived at the airport.
By this ti, the airport was under martial law. Tens of thousands of martial artists had gathered in Jin Ye City, exerting enormous pressure on the city’s Official Family, who were helpless to do anything about it.
"What are we doing at the airport?" Kuroki Suzu asked ekly.
"I want to see for myself how many people the Tiansha Association sends," Ye Xiu said.
Kuroki Suzu pouted when she heard this. "With as your number one undercover agent, you can just ask anything you want to know about the Tiansha Association. There’s no need for you to co all the way to the airport yourself."
Ye Xiu looked at her indignant expression. It seems this girl is dead set on betraying the Tiansha Association. He said, "You can only give numbers. I need to see the strength of everyone from the Tiansha Association with my own eyes."
Kuroki Suzu was taken aback. "You can tell their strength just by looking?"
"Mhm," Ye Xiu nodded.
"That’s amazing!" Kuroki Suzu said with a look of adoration. "How do you do it? Can you teach ?"
"That’s sothing you can’t learn," Ye Xiu replied.
"Oh, okay then." Kuroki Suzu’s face fell.
Ye Xiu chuckled, suddenly realizing that Kuroki Suzu was a very simple and adorable girl. No wonder she had cried at the auction and so easily believed the words of that so-called master. To put it bluntly, she had never been roughed up by the harsh realities of life.
At that mont, a large crowd erged from the airport, 137 of them in total.
"They’re from the Tiansha Association," Kuroki Suzu said. "Tell their strength."
This was clearly a test to see if Ye Xiu truly possessed the ability he claid.
"The nine in the lead are the Tiansha Association’s Nine Serpent Heads. Including them, there are a total of 22 people with the strength of a War God and 115 Great Grandmasters. It seems the Tiansha Association has sent all its elites."
Kuroki Suzu stared at Ye Xiu in shock. As a mber of the Tiansha Association, she knew all 137 people and was aware of their strength. Yet Ye Xiu had accurately assessed all of them with just a single look. Incredible!
"Why would the Tiansha Association send all their elites?" Ye Xiu frowned. If they were only here to deal with him, there would be no need to deploy their entire elite force.
"I don’t know," Kuroki Suzu replied. "But I’ll find out."
"Mutou Bingyuan isn’t in the crowd. Logically, if the Tiansha Association sent all their elites, there’s no reason he wouldn’t co along," Ye Xiu noted.
"Should I call and ask?" Kuroki Suzu suggested.
"No!" Ye Xiu refused.
"Oh." Kuroki Suzu obediently put her phone back in her pocket.
The two of them continued to wait.
One plane after another landed at Jin Ye City Airport. Over the course of the morning, everyone participating in the War God assessnt, along with all the spectators, arrived in Jin Ye City.
Ye Xiu’s eyes didn’t blink once as he scanned every person who walked out of the airport. He watched until no one else ca out, and until the Patrol Officers enforcing martial law had all withdrawn. Still, Ye Xiu hadn’t seen Mutou Bingyuan.
Just then, Ye Xiu’s phone rang.
It was Murong. "Teacher Ye, could you do a favor?"
"Tell first," Ye Xiu said.
"My family arranged a marriage for when I was little, but I don’t like the guy," Murong explained. "I don’t know why, but he suddenly showed up looking for today. Could you pretend to be my boyfriend and help get rid of him?"
Ye Xiu was taken aback. Pretending to be soone’s boyfriend was sothing he had never done before. It sounded rather interesting. He asked, "Where are you?"
"I’m at the train station. He hasn’t arrived yet!"
"Alright, I’m on my way."
Ye Xiu hung up and said to Kuroki Suzu, "Go have so fun. I just got a big gig."
Kuroki Suzu couldn’t help but chuckle. She had overheard Ye Xiu’s conversation with Murong, and it shattered the image of Huang Quan in her mind. The great Huang Quan, taking on a trivial task like pretending to be soone’s boyfriend? He’s completely neglecting his real duties!
Still, Kuroki Suzu had to admire Ye Xiu’s ability to manage his emotions. That morning, his mother’s and maternal grandparents’ graves had been desecrated, enraging him to such an extent. Yet now, he was heading off to play the part of Murong’s boyfriend as if nothing had happened.
This is the quality a truly powerful person should possess—the ability to quickly clear away negative emotions!
「...」
Murong stood at the exit of the Jin Ye City train station, waiting with extre impatience.
Just then, a sunny, handso young man erged from the exit. Upon seeing Murong, he broke into a grin and ran over enthusiastically.
"Wifey! Long ti no see. Did you miss ?"
Murong’s face instantly darkened. She said angrily, "Luo Kun, can you be serious for once? How many tis do I have to tell you? I’m not your wife, and I’m not going to marry you. I don’t like you at all!"
"I don’t care, I don’t care! I’m still going to call you my wife." Luo Kun shalessly wrapped his arms around Murong’s, saying, "We have a marriage arrangent. My family is very satisfied with you as a daughter-in-law, and your family likes a lot, too. You’re destined to marry ."
