"Stop crying," Xiao Jinxing ordered her in a commanding tone.
The baby simply wouldn’t listen, continuing to cry incessantly.
"I told you to stop crying!" Xiao Jinxing’s voice grew louder.
The baby seed not to hear, continuing to wail with her mouth wide open.
Her appearance was one of utter grievance.
Xiao Jinxing beca speechless.
He really felt nothing for this child.
From the beginning, if it wasn’t for Ye Qichi’s insistence, he would not have agreed to keep the child close.
He felt she was a burden.
Indeed, definitely a burden.
At this mont, he even thought about turning around and leaving.
However, just as he was considering this, the image of Ye Qichi flashed through his mind.
He couldn’t understand how Ye Qichi’s sympathy could overflow so extensively.
Xiao Jinxing struggled for a long while.
Still, he reached out and lifted the baby from the bed.
Tiptoeing.
Not very skilled.
The baby felt soone holding her.
The crying paused for a while.
Her big, bright eyes just gazed at Xiao Jinxing.
Xiao Jinxing also watched her nervously.
The two stared at each other.
The next mont.
The little baby cried out "wa" again.
Xiao Jinxing’s face turned utterly dark.
All the way, Ye Qichi held the baby, and he could clearly feel the baby’s affection for Ye Qichi, smiling at him from ti to ti.
Now, seeing him, she cried even louder than before.
Xiao Jinxing really wanted to just throw the baby out.
But his body honestly, imitating how Ye Qichi comforted the baby, paced the room holding the baby, while soothing her, "Don’t cry, Ye Qichi will be back soon, be good, don’t cry..."
While soothing, his frustration was building to the limit.
Why hasn’t Little Wu found Ye Qichi yet?!
...
Outside the room.
After Ye Qichi left, he, together with Gu Xingchuan, avoided so watchful eyes and directly left the inn.
The two quickly walked to a secluded corner outside the inn.
Then.
A figure erged.
She was dressed in ordinary clothes, very different from the overly flamboyant appearance seen before.
Even after a simple disguise, it was nearly impossible to see her real face at a glance.
But at that mont.
Ye Qichi and Gu Xingchuan recognized her.
The person before them was Xiang Qin.
Upon entering the inn.
It was Xiang Qin who warmly welcod their arrival.
Of course, they did not recognize her at first.
It was when Ye Qichi carried the baby back to the room, and the mont he lifted the quilt, seeing a note on the bedsheets, that said, "et outside the inn, Xiang."
In an instant.
Ye Qichi noticed sothing was amiss.
Without a word, she took the note and imdiately left.
After leaving, she went to find Gu Xingchuan, and the two left the inn together.
And thus, they t with Xiang Qin.
"Why are you here?" Ye Qichi asked.
It was obvious, without even thinking, that an Assassin of Ten Extres Sect venturing out, would naturally be for the purpose of killing.
Xiang Qin, still wearing her Human Skin Mask, knowing they would recognize her, straightforwardly said, "Received the assignnt, to assassinate King Chen."
Ye Qichi’s gaze sharpened.
He really didn’t expect Xiao Jinsen to be so restless.
And sowhat overeager as well.
With her understanding of Xiao Jinsen, he wouldn’t recklessly take risks; attempting to assassinate Xiao Jinxing now could, if not successful, lead to being caught. It would be too much for him to handle.
However, it made sense.
Xiao Jinsen, having his thunder stolen by Xiao Jinxing, naturally couldn’t get over it, and thus still sched to kill Xiao Jinxing.
Moreover, using the Assassins of Ten Extres Sect, a killer organization with no ties to the imperial court, made it difficult to suspect him. Even if suspected, there was no evidence to show it was his command.
After understanding the situation, Ye Qichi calmly asked, "How many people ca?"
"More than half of the Assassins from Ten Extres Sect are here," Xiang Qin said, "including the top ten assassins, all of them are here."
Xiao Jinsen really made a big effort to kill Xiao Jinxing.
"Exactly how many people?" Ye Qichi confird the numbers.
"Thirty-two people. Each one a top-notch assassin."
"In your judgnt, how easy would it be for these people to kill us?"
"Not difficult," Xiang Qin analyzed, "King Chen’s party, with the Bai Family army of 151 people, although brave and good fighters, possess only brute strength and superficial skills. Compared to the Assassins of Ten Extres Sect, they’re no match. With just twenty-five people, the assassins could directly engage the Bai Family army and are highly likely to win."
