Chapter 368 – Zhou Tong Will Know What Liu Qing Did (2/2)

Su Li opened his eyes and said, “The more professional an assassin is, the less attention he raises. That outstanding assassin who always places first on the ranking doesn’t even have a name.”

Chen Changsheng felt that what Su Li just said was rather weird. Just what kind of person was the number one assassin in the rankings, to actually receive a word of praise from even Su Li? It had to be known that even if it was the Tianhai Divine Empress or the Pope, they would not receive too much respect from Su Li. He could not think it through and turned around to ask, “Your reason for making me leave behind that sentence was?”

“Xue He is Xue Xingchuan’s younger brother. Xue Xingchuan is Zhou Tong’s only friend. If Zhou Tong knew that Liu Qing had killed Xue He, Liu Qing would definitely suffer a very miserable outcome.

“Liu Qing also fears Lord Zhou Tong?”

“The more a person cannot be in the light, the more they fear Zhou Tong.”

“Including that outstanding assassin who places first on the Ranking of Assassins?”

“He’s obviously an exception.”

“But Senior had said before, after he kills Xue He, he can fake it so that it seemed like it was me who did it. Since it’s the assassin who is third on the Ranking of Assassin, he definitely would beable to do it flawlessly.”

“I know he is Liu Qing, then as long as I live, Zhou Tong will know.”

“Will Lord Zhou Tong believe your words?”

“He doesn’t need to believe, he only needs to suspect that it was Liu Qing who killed him.”

“But… there isn’t any evidence.”

“When Zhou Tong acts, since when did he need evidence?”

Chen Changsheng thought about the terrifying rumors that surrounded Zhou Tong and thought that it was indeed like that.

The citizens of the capital all said that Zhou Tong could stop infants from crying at night. Looking at it now, he could also intimidate the assassin who placed third on the Ranking of Assassins.

He said, “I still don’t understand why that assassin wanted to kill Xue He.”

Su Li looked at him and raised an eyebrow. He said, “What I don’t understand is why you didn’t kill Xue He.”

“Divine General Xue He came to kill Senior, and not me. Just like you have said, after he knew who I was, he obviously did not have any killing intent towards me. Even if it was so, he was already incapable of killing Senior, so why must I kill him? Senior… you seem to have forgotten, but speaking of factions, Divine General Xue He and I should be closer than you and me.”

Chen Changsheng said, “On the other hand, since Senior wanted me to kill Xue He, why did Senior make me leave that sentence before?”

Su Li said, “Since you didn’t want to kill him, we obviously needed him alive. Enough favors can save us a lot of trouble.”

Chen Changsheng did not know how to reply to what Su Li said, and decided to change the topic, “I wonder when the assassin will act.”

He looked at the surface on the lake in the dusk, and was very worried. The Mount Li Junior Martial Uncle’s fame for fighting prowess was even greater than that of Zhou Tong, but now, Su Li no longer had such deterrent force, especially after he helped Chen Changsheng block Xue He’s blade.

“Assassination is an occupation that places success in the highest regard, and thus is the occupation that requires one to be most on guard.”

Su Li looked at the dusk in the lake and said, “Before completely confirming my injuries and the limits of your strength, he will not appear, much less act. He will only keep waiting like someone weak-minded.”
