Translator:Nyoi-Bo StudioEditor:Nyoi-Bo Studio
At that moment, Su Junqing didnt notice anything suspicious, so he entered the secret room. Ye Yu, who was hiding in his shadow, followed behind him.
Ye Jiuge looked at the secret room and felt her heart leap into her throat. The Sorcerer was most likely inside. If Su Junqing talked with him about how hed become injured, he could guess Ye Yus special ability, which could endanger him. She paced back and forth, unsure of what to do. If she rushed in right now, she might miss out on learning some secrets.
In the end, she gave Ye Yu as long as it took an incense stick to burn, which was also how long Ye Yu could remain invisible. If he did not come out after that amount of time had passed, she would break in to save him. However, now was not the wisest moment to confront Su Junqing head-on. It was better to use gentler methods.
Meanwhile, as she waited for Ye Yus allotted time to run out, Ye Jiuge snuck into Old Master Sus residence to make some arrangements before returning to the spot where theyd parted. When Ye Jiuge was considering whether or not to rush in after Ye Yu, the door to the dark room suddenly opened, and Su Junqing stepped out with the faint smell of blood on him.
Ye Yu was still in his shadow, and he didnt look so good. Ye Jiuge could sense that Ye Yus invisibility was about to wear off, and he was in danger of being discovered at any moment. Su Junqing also looked as though hed noticed something strange, and his pace began to slow. Although the expression on his face did not change, his eyes were vigilant.
Meanwhile, a lot of noises were heard from the Su Clan, Fire! Fire!! Along with those voices, a somewhat terrifying flame erupted from Old Master Sus residence. Su Junqings face immediately changed, and he rushed toward Old Master Sus residence, afraid that outsiders were harming the Su Clans last pillar. Ye Yu took this opportunity to escape from Su Junqings shadow.
Lets go! Ye Jiuge jumped down from the house, took Ye Yus hand, and rushed out of the Su Clans residence as fast as possible.
After Su Junqing arrived at Old Master Sus residence, he discovered that the fire was just a bluff. Only a corner of the room had been set alight, and servants had already extinguished the flames. Suddenly, he had a bad feeling. Immediately, he returned to the remote room and thoroughly searched it, but he couldnt find anything unusual.
After hesitating for a moment, he took out a small porcelain vase from his chest and blew it on the floor. The red powder fell to the ground and revealed two pairs of footprints, one large and one small. Obviously, a man and a woman had just been here a moment ago. The footprints were following each other, as if the two people were walking one after the other. One set of footprints was his, while the other definitely belonged to someone hiding in his shadow.
Shadow Assassin? Su Junqing narrowed his eyes and said to himself, I didnt expect Ye Yu to advance so fast. I looked down on him, but he dared to come to me and look for trouble. Hes really courting death.
Ye Yu had seen what had transpired in that dark room a moment ago, so he had to be killed alongside his partner, that woman whod led him away.
After Ye Jiuge and Ye Yu left the Su Clan, she wanted to take Ye Yu back to Zilin Residence, but he refused.
Eldest Miss, its more convenient if we go to my place, not yours.
Ye Yu took her to a small courtyard on North Main Street. He was the only one living there, so it was indeed more convenient than going to the Ye Mansion.
When Ye Jiuge and Ye Yu returned to his place, she fiercely scolded him, You dared to sneak into the Su Clans residence! Do you have a death wish? What if Su Junqing had discovered you?
Su Junqing had once had a close relationship with Ye Yus older sister. Maybe shed told him about the advancements of the Ye Clans methods. If so, it wouldnt be too hard to find out that Ye Yu had become a Shadow Assassin.
I will be careful next time, said Ye Yu weakly.
His face was pale, and his eyes were black as if he had been beaten. His body was on the verge of collapse, and it was obvious that his spirit was exhausted.
Ye Jiuge couldnt bear to scold him again after seeing him like this, so she took out a bottle of Vitality Strengthening Pill and stuffed it into his mouth, saying, Eat, quickly.
Ye Yu silently took the jade bottle in his hands. After taking the pills, his entire body felt rejuvenated, and the sensation of exhaustion began to fade. He thought: Eldest Miss pills are always good and must be treasured.
When Ye Jiuge saw that Ye Yu had recovered, she asked, What did you see when you followed Su Junqing into the secret room?
Ye Yu looked grim as he said slowly, I saw the Sorcerer Xu Hansens corpse.
Corpse? What do you mean? Did you kill that Sorcerer? Ye Jiuge raised her eyebrow and asked.
Xu Hansen was an Advanced Spiritual Practitioner; Ye Yu couldnt have killed him even in a sneak attack.
I didnt. Su Junqing killed him, Ye Yu said one word at a time.
Su Junqing? Ye Jiuge was startled and asked, Why did he kill Xu Hansen? Werent they partners?
They were partners. Xu Hansen was Su Junqings older brother. Even so, after seeing that his brother was injured, Su Junqing did not help him. Instead, he killed him.
Ye Yus stomach began to turn upside down thinking about Su Junqings bloodsucking just moments ago. Who would have thought that such a handsome man was a ruthless and crazy monster?
Isnt Su Junqing afraid of being found out by his comrades for killing one of them?
Ye Jiuge felt that this was a little inconceivable. Although the Sorcerers were evil, they wouldnt go as far as killing each other.
Judging by Su Junqings appearance, he plans to blame someone else for this crime. And this someone else is obviously Wan Ziyang.
Su Junqings cunning really is exorbitant. If he pulls it off, not only would he improve his cultivation base, but he could also remove Wan Ziyang. Ye Jiuge understood more about Su Junqings shamelessness.
Su Junqing must not be allowed to succeed, said Ye Yu while grinding his teeth.
Its really too difficult since Xu Hansen has died, and dead people dont talk. Ye Jiuge shook her head.
Xu Hansens comrades would definitely believe Su Junqing. Ye Yu was silent. He suddenly felt that he and Wan Ziyangs ambush of Xu Hansen had just been a joke. He didnt interrogate anyone. Instead, hed treated Su Junqing to a huge meal.
Its not your fault, so dont think too much about it. Who wouldve thought that Su Junqing was so monstrous? Ye Jiuge saw that Ye Yus mood was down, so she comforted him, Anyway, Xu Hansen died, so at least theres one less evil person out there.
Yes. Now, only Ye Yu could be comforted like this.
Compared with Su Junqing, who did things in secret, Xu Hansen had no scruples about killing people. He definitely couldnt be allowed to live.
