Chapter 104: That B*tch is Different from Before
In front of the murderous intent of the man, Lady Mo shivered all over. A cold chill ran down her spine, and her clothes became drenched in cold sweat.
Although she had come into contact with the people from the ‘Gate of Seven Kills’ in the past at Qingyun City, here in Liuyun Prefecture, the horror was something else.
That strong aura was overpowering her. He’s probably... at the Mystic Martial realm!
“W-What do you want?”
“The previous hundred thousand will be considered money for our assassins’ life. If you want to have Lou Qianxue killed, increase the price!”
“What?” Lady Mo shrieked. “You guys are the ones who didn’t complete the mission. Who are you to make me increase the price?”
“If you don’t want to increase it, then get lost!” The masked man was abnormally domineering. “If you cause a ruckus here again, don’t blame me for acting unkindly.”
The strong aura and murderous intent around him made Lady Mo break out in cold sweat. She glared at the man viciously yet fearfully. In the end, she spoke, “How much more?”
“Half a million taels.”
“H-Half a million! I can already buy a tier two pill with that money. Is that b*tch’s life so costly?” Lady Mo expressed her discontent.
The man answered coldly. “Get lost!”
Lady Mo’s chest kept rising due to the anger, but she still had a clear mind. When she thought about the innocent death of her son, she clenched her teeth and said, “Half a million, fine! But there should be no excuses this time!”
“If it weren’t for the inaccurate information you gave, the previous assassination mission would have been successful.” The man said, “Remember, there is no one who the ‘Gate of Seven Kills’ can’t kill!”
In the Prefectural Governor’s mansion, Jiang Suying finally met Lou Xingchen after a long time.
“Xingchen.” Jiang Suying said, “How have you been in the Liuyun Prefecture?”
Lou Xingchen’s eyebrows were full of pride, and she smiled while answering, “Mother, the prefectural governor introduced me to Mr. Zhu, one of the eight princes of the Tian Zhao Dynasty. Duke Zhu is very satisfied with me and even promised to marry me. The prefectural governor did not dare to ask for my Mountain River Sword Technique. After this competition, I will follow Duke Zhu and go to the imperial city.”
As she spoke, her pretty eyes glowed with great confidence. “When I reach the imperial city, I will cultivate hard and become better than everyone else. If I have the chance to meet even more impressive people, even that Duke Zhu would just be a stepping stone for me!”
“Uhh... Do you still remember Lou Qianxue, that b*tch?” Jiang Suying couldn’t hold back any further.
Just that name was enough to ruin Lou Xingchen’s good mood.
She could not forget that it was Lou Qianxue who took her position as the first miss of the City Lord Mansion. Lou Qianxue was the reason she had to hide outside like an illegitimate girl and act like a servant for six years.
She was born to be a proud daughter, but because of Lou Qianxue, her existence was buried for several years. How could she not feel hatred toward her?
Lou Xingchen’s expression darkened in an instant, and the displeasure on her face was apparent. “When I left the City Lord Mansion, didn’t I already tell you to drive her out? So what happened?”
Because of her newfound relationship with Duke Zhu, Lou Xingchen became a little aggressive even when speaking to her mother.
“It was almost a success, but that annoying old man suddenly came out of his seclusion and protected her. She is still the first miss of the City Lord Mansion.”
Lou Xingchen’s eyes flashed with a cold expression. “Forget it. Since that annoying old man is protecting her, let him be. With my current status now, I can’t be bothered about being the first miss of the City Lord Mansion.”
“But Xingchen, the problem is that the little b*tch is not who she used to be. She is now really impressive. I’m afraid that she might harm you...”
