Chapter 115: Long Huang-er’s Request (2/2)

“Certainly not, a princess cannot be running around the house of her future husband. What kind of situation is that?” Long Yin said shaking his head.

“Then… then… then I want him to protect me on my way to the school!” Reapeating the word “then” for almost half day, Princess Fei Huang’s eyes eventually lighted up, before blurting the words out.

This time, Long Yin did not decline. He shifted his gaze to Ye Wuchen, and asked, “Wuchen, are you willing to fulfil this request? Just in time, Huang-er is learning painting at the Tian Long Imperial Institute. With your outstanding ability, I will be at ease regarding her safety if you are beside her. And by means of painting skills, you could easily help her complete that course earlier.”

What Long Yin failed to mention was that Long Huang-er attended the Tian Long Imperial Institute sparingly. In ten days, she might only attend one single day, as she was used to skipping the lecture. This had caused many of Long Yin’s headaches but there was nothing he could do. If she were alone with a teacher, the outcome would be seriously worse for the teacher, whowould suffer under her tricks.

There are other things that Long Huang-er could not do well. She had trouble learning words, but the methods she used to trick people had reached a supreme level; they could be regarded as endless, dazzling, and varied.

Ye Wuchen was lucky enough to become her next target. They would have no idea who would actually suffer.

“Wuchen will surely obey Your Majesty’s command.” Ye Wuchen answered without any delay. Based on this situation before his eyes, he did not have any choice.

Long Huang-er, who was hiding behind Long Yin’s, could not help but secretly laugh.

When Long Yin and Long Huang-er left, Ye Nu turned to Ye Wuchen with a serious face and furrowed brows. “Chen-er, what’s going on? Was there a plan to assassinate you?”

Ye Wei also nodded with a serious face, while the worried Wang Wenshu carefully checked Ye Wuchen from head to toe, then heaved a sigh of relief. She did not know that the one and only spot on his body that had bloodstains was covered by Tong Xin who was still in his arms.

Ye Wuyun, who had been silent all throughout, perked his ears.

“Indeed there was someone who tried to kill me. Moreover, he was known as the number one killer in Tian Long City, Tao BaiBai.” Ye Wuchen simply said.

“What!?” Ye Nu and Ye Wei were both surprised. How could they not know Tao BaiBai’s name? He was a legend in the world of killers, under one of the seven God-Level Masters in the Tian Long Nation. He had never missed a single assassination target he was assigned.

“So he…”

“He’s already dead.” Ye Wuchen said in summary.

“Dead!? Did you kill him?” Ye Nu asked alarmingly.

Ye Wuyun tried to maintain his tranquility, but internally he was wildly palpitating, as if he did not believe his ears. If Ye Wuchen was not standing right there, lively and unwounded, he might have thought it was some kind of joke.

Ye Wuchen laughed, “I have mentioned previously that my teacher had left me many life-saving tools. Even the strongest tricks of Lin Yan couldn’t beat me, so how could Tao BaiBai, who had the same level as him, beat me?

Ye Wei and Ye Nu quieted down. They knew how hard it was to beat a Heaven-Level Master, let alone to kill one. It could be regarded as more difficult than ascending to heaven. The death of Tao BaiBai would bring a very big shock to Tian Long Nation as well as the entire Heavenly Star Continent.

What they were concerned about right now, however, was who would hire a killer like Tao BaiBai to assassinate Ye Wuchen. Could it be those people who wanted the Ye Family to become extinct, making it impossible investigate as to who they were?

“Chen-er, who do you think has harmful intentions against you?” Ye Wei asked coldly. His fear still lingered and his fury was slowly igniting. If Ye Wuchen had no devices from the God of Sword, the Ye Family would have had to face extinction once again. Even now, they still had no idea who was targeting the Ye Family.

Ye Wuchen shook his head and said, “I don’t know. Only the Lin Family has conflict with me, but that wasn’t some irreconcilable animosity. The Lin family would not have such a strong impulse as to hire a killer to murder me without considering the outcome. Or maybe…” Ye Wuchen’s eyes flickered, and said, “Could it be the Royal Family of the Gale Nation?”

“For what reason?”

“If Tao BaiBai was to successfully kill someone of the Ye Family, what will be the outcome?” Ye Wuchen asked a rhetorical question.

“Our Ye Family would certainly spend all our efforts to eliminate the Thousand Murders Pavilion.” Ye Wei said resolutely and decisively.

Ye Wuchen nodded, “That’s right. Based on our Ye Family’s strength, eliminating the Thousand Murders Pavilion is not a difficult thing. Tao BaiBai wouldn’t risk the danger of assassinating me, unless someone could provide a huge monetary reward, as well as protect the Thousand Murders Pavilion. One with such capability, and who also hates our Ye Family, could only be the Royal Family of the Gale Nation. If I guessed right, since the assassination failed, the Thousand Murders Pavilion would move to Gale Nation, to making us unable to take revenge.”

Ye Wuchen finished his word, then glanced at Ye Wei and Ye Nu. Whether they would suspect the Royal Family of Tian Long Nation or not, was up to them. Though, this possibility was considerably uncertain and Ye Wuchen evidently could not tell them the truth.

He used his peripheral vision to glance at the uneasy Ye Wuyun, then laughed coldly in secret.

Ye Wei and Ye Nu were both silent. Ye Wuchen said, “Her name is Tong Xin, from now on she will stay at my place.”

“En, as you wish.” Ye Wei said, still pondering. He did not think much on these kinds of matters.

“I have been running around for half of the day. Now, I feel tired.”

“Chen-er, you go rest. Let me and your grandpa think on this since this matter really concerns the safety of our Ye Family. In the afternoon, I will strengthen our defense, then discuss this with the Emperor.” Ye Wei then sighed.

Ye Wuchen nodded, then left carrying Tong Xin in his arms still. Although he did not have much hope, if Ye Wei intended to discuss with the Emperor, his hints were undoubtedly useless. This was not surprising, as the men of the Ye Family were always loyal, to no one’s benefit…
