With a cold, sepulchral look on his face, Cloud Murong raised his head and looked at the two Grand Assassins, ”If nothing else here concerns Your Excellencies, please leave. Otherwise, Murong Mansion will have no choice but to inform our elders in closed-door cultivation. In that case, I'm afraid we might cross swords with each other, and you'll have to excuse us for having no idea how to receive our guests with hospitality.”
”What? In our eyes, Murong Mansion is nothing. How dare you threaten us?” the look on the face of that taller Grand Assassin, whose code name was Eighteen, went cold.
Saying no more, Cloud Murong produced a whistle-like object from somewhere and blew it.
No sound was heard.
But special sound waves had spread outwards.
The two Grand Assassins seemed be surprised that this Cloud Murong did dare do this. Their faces instantly went angry and cold.
”You're courting death,” after saying this in a sepulchral voice, Nineteen wanted to jump down.
”Wait,” but Eighteen stopped him. ”There's pestilence in this Murong Mansion. Don't be so impulsive. The task master assigned to us is the most important thing.”
Eighteen's words calmed Nineteen down.
”Little girl, you just said that she was in a place in the west. Where is it exactly? Don't be afraid. As long as you tell us, we will kill her for you. You have my word,” Nineteen looked in the direction of Snow Murong and tried to tempt her.
Snow Murong was eager to tell them.
However...
”It seems that Your Excellencies are trying to make things tough for us,” Cloud Murong's voice instantly went cold and with that he leaped onto the roof.
Nineteen and Eighteen exchanged eye contact. In their sight, killing Cloud Murong, who was merely at Tier IX, was as easy as killing an ant.
However, they hadn't decided whether they should kill him or not when everybody vaguely sensed that several potent Qi were coming in their direction from various positions in Murong Mansion.
”Fine. Since you're unwilling to cooperate, prepare yourselves to face the consequences of offending Dragon Clan,” Nineteen darted a cold glance at Cloud Murong.
The moment he finished the last word, the two black figures swished away.
However, the face of everybody in Murong Mansion changed when they heard the last remark.
Dragon Clan!
That was the biggest and most mysterious assassin organization in Zhou Kingdom. It was said that every assassin of Dragon Clan was top-notch kung fu expert.
There was a saying that most people living near marketplaces knew, ”Smart people would rather offend the Emperor than offend Dragon Clan.”
Otherwise, one would get killed without knowing how.
The two people were members of Dragon Clan?
God. If they had known this, they would never have covered for that fledgling little girl.
Now they had offended Dragon Clan. The consequences would be...
Thinking about this, everybody was horrified.
But Cloud Murong knitted his eyebrows. It was not the consequences but Grandma Medicine and Yun Wu that he was worried about.
Since this Dragon Clan had come to Murong Mansion, it was very likely that before long, they would find some clues that would lead them to Lian Village...
...
In that cottage in the valley.
The candlelight was not very bright, but people in the room could see things clear enough.
At this moment, that small table was full of dishes.
Little Leaf cooked all these. Yun Wu had tried to help, but it turned out that her cooking skills were not as good as her killing skills.
Since she was more of a hindrance than a help, they ended up having dinner so late.
”Granny, this is an old hen Sister Li gave us. Elder sister and I stewed it for several hours. Have a try. See if it's delicious.”
Tough still a young girl, Little Leaf could do things as well as an adult. Her mouth had been watering all along, but as a very dutiful granddaughter, she chose to serve a bowl of chicken soup, with a big drumstick in it, to Grandma Medicine first.
And then she filled another bowl with soup, put a big chicken drumstick in it and passed it to Yun Wu. After that she filled a small bowl with soup for herself.
”Elder sister. Have a try. Sister Li gave this chicken to you. You should eat more.”
Yun Wu was moved at Little Leaf's behavior. This girl herself probably had no idea how adorable she was and how deeply Yun Wu was touched.
With her chopsticks, Yun Wu put the chicken drumstick to Little Leaf's bowl, a doting look flashing across her eyes that were usually apathetic, ”I don't like chicken drumsticks, so I want you to eat it for me.”
”This chicken drumstick is very delicious. Elder sister really doesn't like it?” hearing this, Little Leaf looked at Yun Wu with an earnest look.
After Yun Wu nodded very ”earnestly”, Little Leaf was relieved, grabbed the drumstick and started chomping on it.
Seeing this, Yun Wu smiled, ”Slow down. You might choke on it.”
Then she moved her eyes to Grandma Medicine.
”Granny, have some. Don't worry about those people in Murong Mansion. Nothing will happen to them any time soon,” Grandma Medicine had been preoccupied all day long, so of course Yun Wu knew it.
Hearing her words, Grandma Medicine involuntarily looked at Yun Wu, ”You can tell?”
Yun Wu smiled blandly, ”Granny, it's on your face. I'm afraid not only I but also Little Leaf could tell.”
