As for Xiao Mu, he was only sad and refused to speak with Hua Taixu. Hua Taixu could only console him on the side.
Meanwhile, Huangfu Jin was holding Yan Huan's hand and crying. After a long time, he actually fell asleep. Seeing that Huangfu Jin had fallen asleep, Teacher Huangfu couldn't bear to wake her up.
Deep into the night, Huangfu Haoyue left the inner hall and meditated in the outer pavilion. Suddenly, a strange fragrance wafted over. Huangfu Haoyue was a physician; how could he not know what this fragrance was? That incense was called Drunken Fragrance, and it was specially used to captivate one's soul. Even people with extremely high cultivation had to fall for it in a hurry, but the newcomers clearly underestimated Huangfu Haoyue's strength. Teacher Huangfu was a peerless cultivator, known as the hands of the Heavenly Doctor. This tiny bit of incense was nothing to him, but he rolled his eyes, pretended to be poisoned, and lay down.
At this time, a figure flashed into the window. A black-clothed person entered the room with a longsword in his hand. He ignored Huangfu Master and went straight into the inner hall. And inside the inner hall, Yan Huan was unconscious. Huangfu Jinhua was also lying down at the window of Yan Huan's room, falling asleep. The black shadow saw the two of them and quickly drew its sword. Just as it was about to stab down, the sword was aimed at Yan Huan. But at this moment, the long sword was unquestionably grasped by a large mana hand.
Huangfu shi sneered. He then waved his sleeve, lighting up the room. With another wave of his hand, a strand of mana rushed towards the black figure, trapping it.
All of this happened in a split-second. The black shadow didn't even have time to react. By the time the light was turned on, the black shadow had already bound his hands and feet. When Huangfu Haoyue saw the black cloth covering his face, he waved his hand and tore it off. When that person saw that it was Huangfu Master, he couldn't help but turn pale with fright.
Huangfu Haoyue sized up this person. This person was around twenty years old and wore black clothing. He was quite handsome. If Yan Huan was awake, it was natural that he would recognize this person. This person was the Li family's Young Master, Li Xiu Yong. Huangfu Haoyue didn't recognize him, so he asked, ”Who are you?” How dare you barge into my infirmary and assassinate me? Wasn't it the person who had just assassinated him? No! Your cultivation is so low, it's impossible for you to be the person who just assassinated me. Are you a member of the Li Clan? ”
After being asked so many questions by Huangfu Master in one breath, Li XiuYong was actually stunned and didn't know what to say.
Huangfu shi sneered and said, ”You won't say anything, right? It doesn't matter. Someone will make you speak.” The person Huangfu Master was talking about was naturally Zen Yiwu. Before he made his move, he had already notified Zen Yiwu using a communication talisman.
At the same time, Huangfu Jin was woken up by the commotion. She pouted, rubbed her eyes, and muttered, ”Old Ancestor, why are you so noisy? How am I supposed to sleep when you're so noisy? ”
He really couldn't do anything to this niece of his. If it wasn't for his superior skills and the fact that he died because of this pleasantries, she would actually think that he had slept with her! What a little muddle!
Huangfu shi said, ”I said, grandnephew! Wake up! Someone has come to assassinate you! ”
Who would have thought that Huangfu Jin Xiu narrowed his eyes and waved his hand. ”Assassinate then! Turn off the light, I'm going to sleep! ” After Huangfu Jin said this, she laid back down, but just as she laid down, she suddenly opened her eyes and stood up, saying, ”What? Someone came to assassinate Yan Huan? Where is it? Where is it? Is Yan Huan alright? ”
Martial Ancestor Huangfu waved his hand at her, saying, ”Calm down, don't worry!” With me here, how could I let others hurt him? My good nephew and granddaughter, you should go wash up first.
Upon hearing that Yan Huan was fine, Huangfu Jin heaved a sigh of relief. He then stretched his back and said, ”Okay!” Embroidery glanced at Li XiuYong and gave him a cold smile before leaving.
Li Xiu Yong had seen Huangfu Jin once before. That time, he was almost killed by Huangfu Jin's personal bodyguard, Huangfu Bing An. Thus, in his subconscious, he felt fear towards Huangfu Jin. Now that Huangfu Jin was smiling at him, his hair instantly stood on end.
As for Huangfu Jin, he returned after washing his face and rinsing his mouth only to find that Zen Yiwu had arrived. At this moment, Zen Yiwu and Huangfu Master were sitting there, looking at Li Xiu Yong. Li Xiu Yong's hair stood on end as the two stared at him, and he couldn't help but stagger to his feet.
Seeing that Huangfu Jin had returned, Teacher Huangfu asked, ”Embroidery, do you know this person?”
Huangfu Jin glared at Li Xiu Yong and said, ”I know him! ”He's the one who plotted against Yan Huohuan in the tavern last time. He's the young master of the Li family, Li Xiu Yong.”
”It's really someone from the Li Clan. So the person who assassinated Yan Huan last time wasn't someone from the Li Clan?” Huangfu shi muttered.
”Brother Huangfu, why do you say that?” Zen Yiwu asked.
”Brother Zen, think about it!” Even though you haven't fought with the person who came last time, but he was able to sneak into the An Tian Tower without anyone noticing. However, this brat's cultivation is extremely weak. He is clearly not the same person as the former. ” Huangfu shi analyzed.
”What if the killer was hired by the Lee family last time?” Zen Yiwu asked again.
”It does not rule out this possibility! But even thinking about it wasn't possible. Since he could invite people to assassinate him, why did he have to do it himself? With his low cultivation, wouldn't it be safer to hire an expert? ” Teacher Huangfu asked.
Zen Yiwu nodded and said, ”Brother Huangfu's words are not without reason.”
Huangfu Jin slowly spat out a sentence, ”Why are you all making such a big deal here?” ”You'll know once you ask!” Huangfu Jin looked at Li Xiu Yong, who had been scared out of his wits. She then laughed mischievously and asked, ”Li Xiu Yong, are you telling the truth? Or do you want me to do it? ”
Li Xiu Yong immediately shouted, ”I'll tell you, I'll tell you! Actually, I'm not sure if the person who came was an assassin hired by my Li family.
”What do you mean?” Huangfu Jin asked in confusion.
”Ever since I failed to kill Cheng Huan last time, I've fled back to the Li family. Father gave me a huge punishment, then ordered me to come back to Huangfu City and told me to wait here for an assassin called Xiao Wuqing. However, even after waiting here for three days, I still didn't make a move. It just so happened that at this time came the news that Huanhuan had been assassinated and heavily injured. I suspected at first that it was my father who had hired the killer, but then I thought, No! My father told me to wait here for him, he must come and see me first! However, this person didn't come to see me, but directly attacked. This doesn't conform with the rules! So I decided not to wait for him and decided to personally come and take a look. ” Li Xiu Yong shakily finished his story.
”Take a look?” What you said was really nice! This matter of killing is said by you in such a righteous manner, you truly are shameless! ” Huangfu Jin scolded.
Zen Yiwu didn't care about these words and asked, ”Li Xiu Yong, what is the origin of that Xiao Wuqing you spoke of?”
Li Xiu Yong shook his head and said, ”I don't know. I just know that my father found this.”
Zen Yiwu turned his head and asked: ”Dao Friend Huangfu, do you know this Xiao Wuqing?”
Huangfu Haoyue also shook his head.
”Then, do you think the person who just assassinated is that Xiao Wuqing?” Zen Yiwu asked again.
”I'm not sure either!” But I don't think so. I know a little about the rules of the assassination world. Without an employer's instruction, the killer can't act on his own! This matter is rather complicated! ” Huangfu shi sighed as he spoke.
