Chapter 163 - LongAn: A Glimpse of His Past (1/2)

”I don't know the real master, but I can tell you about our contact's appearance because we also didn't ask her name...” The ȧssassin only met with the maidservant and they only cared about the money. They didn't need to know the real master as long as they received half of the payment in advance, the rest would be paid after the mission was completed.

The man gave them a detailed description of the maidservant and they knew who the mastermind was. It was one of the concubines. When they finished their mission, they would be back and pay her back.

”What will you do after this?” Yao Ling asked the man.

”Er... I don't know?” The man was taken aback by Yao Ling's question. He didn't think that they would let them go. How could he know what he would do after this? Was this woman joking with him?! He thought that he would be dead for sure.

”If I pay you, would you do something for me? That way... you will also survive today...” Yao Ling asked with a glint in her eyes however her expression couldn't be deciphered. ”I want to make a deal with you.”

”What?” The ȧssassin asked in confusion. He was taken aback by the sudden turn of event.

Before the man could answer her, Yao Ling gave a signal for Xiu to open the man's mouth. She quickly threw something onto the man's mouth. ”I just gave you another poison. This one will torture you slowly and you need an antidote. You can only live for about...” Yao Ling counted with her hands and then grinned, ”One week.”

”If you are able to finish the mission and find me, I will not only give you an antidote but also give you the payment. What do you think?” Yao Ling asked with a soft smile and her appearance didn't look like someone who was blackmailing someone else.

The man laughed bitterly. ”What choice do I have? Tell me the mission!” He didn't have the gut to ask how much the payment was.

”I want to give a warning to the real master behind your mission. It's easy. Just kill the maidservant who gave you the mission. How is that sound?” Yao Ling told him with a glint of ruthless in her eyes. She was tired of being scared, besides this concubine was ruthless to them. Why should they be lenient to her? They didn't want to wait and then to be slaughtered.

The ȧssassin was taken aback but he quite admired this woman's smart mind. He could only nod and answer her positively, ”I'll do it!” Then, after pondering for a little while, he asked, ”Where should I find you after I accomplish the mission?”

”Er... I'm on a honeymoon trip...” Yao Ling pretended not to know their next destination and she turned to Yao Ying and asked, ”Husband... where will be one week from now?”

Yao Ying had a tacit understanding and answered on her behalf, ”We probably will go sightseeing at Lin Zhou. I heard there are a lot of fun things to do there.”

Yao Ling nodded and told the ȧssassin, ”You heard him... My husband chooses Lin Zhou as our next destination and we will stay there for a little while. The faster you finish the job, the better. You still need time to search for our whereabouts,” Yao Ling said with an angelic and deadly smile.

The ȧssassin nodded. After he said that, Xiu released the man. The ȧssassin bade goodbye and quickly left, trying to do his mission as fast as possible. He didn't have the time to think about revenge and he was also sensible, they indeed tried to kill them first and they only retaliated. He sighed. No wonder his brother always said that he was a coward and too kind to become an ȧssassin.

Yao Ling sighed in relief and when she looked around, she was taken aback by the others' expression. They looked so shocked and there was a hint of fear in their eyes --- only Yao Ying, the one who looked at her dotingly. She didn't know whether she should laugh or cry. This was also the first time she behaved like a villain ah~ Somehow... it was quite fun!

After the tension was gone, Yao Ling could feel her leg weaken. She almost fell but luckily, Yao Ying caught her in time. ”Are you okay?” He asked in worry.

Yao Ling shook her head. ”I'm fine... It's just after the tense event, I feel weak all of a sudden. Probably because of fear,” She answered coquettishly.

The others looked at her in disbelief. 'Big Sister ah~ When did you feel scared? You look so savage just now ah~'
