Chapter 957 - 957 Section 1 3 What Kind of Cat Is This

Chapter 957: Section 1 Chapter 3: What Kind of Cat Is This? [2-in-1] Chapter 957: Section 1 Chapter 3: What Kind of Cat Is This? [2-in-1] After Feng Yin emerged from the underground, he remained extremely cautious.

After all, it was the Emperor himself who had ordered his capture, and Feng Yin firmly believed that in the vast Great Qin Capital, there would be more than one supreme power such as the old man he had encountered before.

In fact, people like the Deputy Head of the Dark Division, Gu Yunbian, or his brother Gu Yunfan, who had interacted with Feng Yin during the training camp for Gold Rank operatives, were not individuals that Feng Yin was confident he could deal with.

And there would certainly be more than one or two experts of the likes of these brothers.

So there was absolutely no room for carelessness.

But as he returned to the surface, Feng Yin keenly sensed that the situation seemed to have undergone some change.

At least on the surface of things, it appeared that people were no longer focused on the pursuit of the gentle assassin. But how could things have changed so drastically? What could have possibly happened in just one day to cause such a turnaround?

Could this be the so-called speed of the Imperial Capital?

Feng Yin casually obtained a guide and came out openly.

The great advantage of never revealing one’s true face showed itself, especially since… there were no photographs on the passports of this world.

Thus, a day and a half later, the cautious Feng Yin had already changed three different guides. After all, he couldn’t just steal them and then let their owners be captured by the officials, could he? So, after using them, he had to put them back.

One must have some conscience, especially when you’re Doctor Feng, the gentle master assassin!

Proceeding with caution, Feng Yin was having a meal at a restaurant at noon when he overheard a low discussion about an assassination attempt on the princess of the Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace that had suddenly triggered a huge commotion in the Capital City. He could not help but change color.

“Was it the princess who was assassinated?”

Feng Yin furrowed his brows, showing all his emotions.

Although the rumors confirmed that Dong Xiaoyan was not seriously harmed, Feng Yin still felt that something was very wrong with the situation, or rather, it was extremely wrong!

Who would assassinate Dong Xiaoyan out of the blue?

How could that be possible?!

Not to mention that not everyone in this world would dare to provoke the Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace, but just the precedent set by the Three Mountains was enough to deter many people and forces!

Of course, dealing with Dong Xiaoyan herself was not a difficult task, and with a meticulous plan, any remote area could lead to an untimely death.

But for ordinary people and forces, who would want to invite such trouble or dare to touch such a firebrand?

The Three Mountains are already a super-sect of this era, each mountain having the standing to speak on equal terms with a country. But once the Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace went mad, it wreaked havoc upon the Three Mountains, greatly weakening them. With such a precedent, who would dare to stroke the tiger’s whiskers, not afraid of death?

Yet the perpetrator still chose to strike boldly in the Great Qin Capital.

This timing, motive, and opportunity required careful consideration.

“After pondering over countless possibilities, the most likely reason is still the connection between the princess and my identity as Doctor Feng. While the Xu brothers would have been easier targets, they are not capable of drawing out Doctor Feng. The Cat Emperor has returned to the Yao tribe’s lands, and even if there was a desire to target me, there might not be the courage to do so, let alone the capability. Only the princess…. Truly, her profile is the most obvious, and she carries enough weight.”

Feng Yin thought to himself, quickly coming to a conclusion.

“If that’s the case….”

Feng Yin’s gaze flashed, his brows furrowing.

His thoughts differed slightly from Dong Xiaoyan’s. He quickly deduced the other party’s motives and keenly sensed the crisis within.

The other party’s actions were likely just a probe, a test.

If Dong Xiaoyan did not return to the Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace, the adversary might take further actions, even escalating to a second or third move. In that case, success was just a matter of time.

The stalwarts of the Cloud Palace would never personally come to protect a junior.

And a thief guarded against every day will find a lapse.

If the adversary dared to act against the Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace and had even put their plans into action, then their real strength, even if not comparable to the Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace, must be sufficient to pose a serious challenge, at least having some skills or tools at their disposal.

And here he was, only learning of this news now, likely well after events had unfolded, and he had no idea how the princess was faring.

At this thought, Feng Yin started to grow impatient. After all, the princess held a position in his heart that was stable within the top three, with perhaps only Feng Ying ranking ahead of her.

While Feng Yin was still pondering the subsequent developments that could arise, he saw two officers enter the restaurant.

“Official inspection.”

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other in dismay.

Feng Yin continued to eat methodically, not even bothering to raise his head.

Even though he was a wanted person, the rank of these two officers was too low. They could not possibly be targeting him, and even if they were, they did not have the ability to uncover his real identity!

“Nonsense!”

Just as Feng Yin made no move, the two men sitting by the window could not contain themselves any longer. Almost without warning, they leaped up, and with a loud bang, they broke out through the window.

“Boom!”

No sooner had the fleeing pair jumped out than they were thrown back through the window at a faster rate than before, landing on the floor with collapsed chests, coughing up blood.

Immediately after, two figures clad in gray flashed into the room, swiftly took control of the situation, and then threw out a remark: “Carry on.”

With that, the duo passed through the window and were gone.
