Chapter 164 Assassination Mission

Xu Jingming entered, and the Blood Rain World was at dusk. The setting sun had not completely disappeared, reddening half the sky.

Standing by the window and looking at the sky, Xu Jingming returned to the bed and sat cross-legged, visualizing and refining his heart.

…

Day passed, and night fell.

In the study, candlelight flickered, and Young Master Chang Yi was reading alone.

Suddenly, he heard footsteps outside, followed by "bang, bang, bang," a knock on the door.

"Young Master," Qing Yu said from outside.

"Come in," Chang Yi put down the book.

Qing Yu then pushed the door open and immediately closed it. Her face was a little ugly at the moment as she said, "Young Master, I just took the Yaxing (brokerage firm) people to Lord Wang's residence and presented the drafted transfer contract, but that Lord Wang is too greedy."

"Greedy?" Chang Yi looked at her.

"Lord Wang said that he heard that the Hua Yue Gang (Flower Moon Gang) had sent hundreds of people to intercept us on the street. He was afraid of offending the Hua Yue Gang, so he didn't want to buy it," Qing Yu said with some annoyance. "If he really had to buy it, he would only be willing to pay 1,000 taels of silver. That greedy old man, who had agreed to 2,000 taels of silver at noon and said it was a done deal, changed his tune to 1,000 taels of silver in the evening."

Chang Yi laughed, looking at Qing Yu with a smile: "Don't be angry, there's no need. Merchants do things like this. How could they not cut prices when they seize an opportunity?"

"We can't sell it at such a low price," Qing Yu said. "Moreover, we were ambushed by the Feng Hu Tang (Phoenix Lake Hall) of the Hua Yue Gang in order to meet with Lord Wang at noon."

"It has nothing to do with Lord Wang."

Chang Yi put down the book and said, "We have been targeted by the Feng Hu Tang of the Hua Yue Gang. As long as we go out, no matter who we meet, we may be ambushed. This time's confrontation... was also within my expectations. This battle is also to let all forces know that I, Chang Yi, am not to be trifled with!"

"Acknowledging the commander of the Blood Rain Guards, Wu, as my adoptive father is something that makes people wary. As long as they dare to deal with me, Wu Commander will definitely take the opportunity to extort them," Chang Yi said. "The identity of the Blood Rain Guards Wu Commander's adopted son is enough to save me a lot of trouble."

"But it's not enough to just have the identity; one must also be strong enough. That's why there was today's street fight," Chang Yi said. "In this way, very few people in Lan Yue City will dare to target me. I can also have enough time to slowly sell my property!"

Qing Yu nodded: "If it were up to my temper, I would have killed that Lord Wang long ago."

"Qing Yu, my dear," Chang Yi comforted. "I have been in the Blood Rain World for many years and I am very clear about some of the rules of this Blood Rain World. You should restrain your temper, after all, this time I, your brother, am betting everything I have!"

"Alright, you're the one paying, I'll listen to you," Qing Yu laughed.

Qing Yu and Chang Yi are from the same cosmic civilization. Although they are from different life planets, they had a deep friendship in the virtual world network in the past. That's why Chang Yi invited Qing Yu to help this time.

"The three Yaxing (brokerage firms) are all helping me find a buyer," Young Master Chang Yi said with a smile. "The price I'm offering is also relatively cheap. There are still many families and forces with backgrounds in Lan Yue City. I will definitely be able to sell it within three months. But I can't rush! If I rush, there will be problems."

"Are we just waiting now?" Qing Yu asked.

"Can't wait."

Chang Yi shook his head. "Given the gang's temper, if they fail once, they will be even more ruthless next time. We can't always be beaten. Here, you take this token and go to Lai Fu Inn on Bei Feng Street."

Qing Yu saw a token in front of her, with three strange blood-colored patterns on it.

"Lai Fu Inn on Bei Feng Street?" Qing Yu asked suspiciously.

"You hide your identity, go to Lai Fu Inn, meet the shopkeeper, and show him the token. He will naturally take you inside the inn," Young Master Chang Yi said. "This inn is actually the Lan Yue City stronghold of the assassin organization 'Seven Killings Tower.' I remember that half a month ago, there was a mission to offer a reward for Dong Xiao, the deputy head of the Feng Hu Tang of the Hua Yue Gang. You use my token to accept this mission. Seven Killings Tower only recognizes the token, not the person."

"Dong Xiao, the deputy head of the Feng Hu Tang?" Qing Yu nodded slightly. "What if the mission is gone?"

"Then change the mission. Any other second-rate expert from the Feng Hu Tang is fine, as long as it's not the hall master," Young Master Chang Yi said. "Killing the hall master will cause a lot of trouble."

"Okay," Qing Yu nodded.

…

About half an hour later, almost no one could be seen on Bei Feng Street in the dark night.

Lai Fu Inn was a relatively small inn. There were only a few wooden tables on the first floor, and a waiter was dozing off at a table. The shopkeeper was standing behind the counter, calculating accounts.

Suddenly, a gray-clothed man wearing a bamboo hat walked in. The hat was pressed down, obscuring most of his face. He walked to the counter and showed the token.

The shopkeeper looked up at the token, his expression unchanged.

"Please follow me." The shopkeeper walked directly towards the back of the inn. The gray-clothed man followed, and through a secret passage, they arrived at an underground hall, where three old men were busy.

An old man greeted the gray-clothed man: "Esteemed Three Killings Master, are you here to issue a mission or accept a mission?"

"Accept a mission," the gray-clothed man said.

"These are all the missions within Lan Yue City, and these are the missions in the surrounding area." The old man immediately brought two thick books.

…

Chang Yi was very cautious. He had been in the Blood Rain World for many years, and his strength was naturally extraordinary. But this time, he had invested too much and dared not take risks. Whenever he went out, he was always accompanied by a large group of guards.

Bang, bang, bang, finally came the knock on the door.

Soon Qing Yu came in.

"How is it?" Chang Yi looked at her.

"The mission has been accepted," Qing Yu nodded. "Dong Xiao, the deputy head of the Feng Hu Tang!"

Chang Yi nodded with satisfaction.

"The people from Seven Killings Tower said that it must be resolved within three days, otherwise the mission will be considered a failure." Qing Yu looked at Chang Yi with a smile. "I just didn't expect that you would have become a 'Three Killings' level assassin in Seven Killings Tower."

"I've been in the Blood Rain World for so many years, of course I have some accumulation," Chang Yi said. "Go and invite Mr. Lu and the three of them over."

Qing Yu nodded.

A moment later—

Xu Jingming, Mr. Lu, and Zi Teng Girl came to the study. They were all a little puzzled. It was almost the end of their work hours, and this Young Master Chang Yi was still summoning them.

"Everyone," Chang Yi sat there, looking at the three of them with a smile. "There is now an assassination mission. Even if the assassination fails, each of you will receive an additional bonus of 150,000 universe coins. If the assassination is successful, each of you will be rewarded with 300,000 universe coins."

Xu Jingming, Mr. Lu, and Zi Teng Girl exchanged glances and smiled.

They would get 150,000 even if they failed?

Even if they died once, they could spend 100,000 to come back in, and still earn extra.

"If the assassination fails, you may die. But you still have to continue to carry out the task of protecting me," Chang Yi said.

"Okay."

"No problem."

Xu Jingming and the three of them nodded.

This mission could only make money, not lose!

"The target is Dong Xiao, the deputy head of the Feng Hu Tang," Chang Yi said. "This Dong Xiao is a second-rate expert, and his residence is heavily guarded. You must be careful."

Xu Jingming and the three of them nodded. If they were native second-rate experts, they might worry about the danger of death! But Xu Jingming and the three of them had only come to the 'Blood Rain World' not long ago. Even if they died, they would just spend 100,000 universe coins to come back in.

"This is detailed information about Dong Xiao." Chang Yi took out a book from the side and handed it over. "I hope that you will resolve that Dong Xiao in the second half of tonight."

"Okay."

Zi Teng Girl reached out and took it. "If there's nothing else, we'll leave first. We have to prepare an assassination plan."

"Go and prepare," Chang Yi said with a smile.

Then Zi Teng Girl and Xu Jingming and Mr. Lu left together.

"With the three of them working together, the odds are great," Chang Yi said.

"I admire you."

Qing Yu praised, "The reward for killing Dong Xiao is 200 taels of silver. Converted into universe coins, it's close to 2 million universe coins! Asking the three of them to take action once, even if successful, will only cost an additional 900,000 universe coins. You still make a profit."

"I'm a businessman," Chang Yi smiled brightly.
