Chapter 136: Chapter 136 The Visitor is an Assassin

Li Chi had also heard the warning, but it was already too late for him.

He had eaten quite a bit of food and with a "bang," he too collapsed.

Seeing this scene, Chu Baihan slightly furrowed his brows.

From Li Chi’s condition, it seemed that their assassination attempt should have nothing to do with him.

"Mother, what should we do?" Little Tuanzi tugged at Chu Baihan’s sleeve.

"The same as them," Chu Baihan whispered back.

Hearing her words, Chu Junxi and Jingjing reacted very quickly.

With a cry of "ouch," the two of them simultaneously collapsed into Chu Baihan’s arms.

Chu Baihan then feigned collapse as well.

Shortly after she fell, everyone else had collapsed too.

The old granny walked over.

She removed her Human Skin Mask, revealing a young face.

Following this, a group of black-clothed men with faces full of murderous intent rushed in.

"Yingniang, how did it go?" the leader of the black-clothed men asked.

The woman coldly responded, "Hmm, these useless fools have all taken the medicine; they won’t wake up any time soon. They thought I would put poison in the food, but they didn’t know the dish itself was poisoned."

So that was it.

Chu Baihan, pretending to be unconscious, heard everything clearly.

However, the name Yingniang sounded very familiar.

Soon, she remembered that there was an organization of assassins in Jianghu called Shashi, and Yingniang was an assassin within this organization.

This organization took on any mission without any moral scruples.

As long as they were paid, they would unhesitatingly kill even children.

Apparently, Yingniang was renowned for her stunning beauty, but her Disguise Technique was extremely powerful, allowing her to take on any identity.

With this skill, she had killed many people.

No wonder she hadn’t noticed anything amiss with the old granny; the enemy was simply too good at disguising.

"Which one is Princess Nan Baihan of Nanduan Kingdom?"

The black-clothed men demanded harshly.

"That one," Yingniang pointed in Chu Baihan’s direction and continued to mock, "Such an easy task, and my master actually sent me here. It’s really making a mountain out of a molehill."

"The master did so because he heard that Chu Baihan’s martial arts skills were formidable, hence worried about complications, that’s why we devised this plan. Enough, let’s not talk so much now. The buyer has offered a high price for Chu Baihan’s head; once we bring back her head, our mission will be complete," the black-clothed man said impatiently.

"What about the others?" Yingniang raised her eyebrows, sounding quite displeased.

"We only need Nan Baihan’s head, leave the others," the black-clothed man responded indifferently.

But Yingniang was not pleased, with a cold laugh she said, "When I, Yingniang, take action, I always leave no survivors. Everyone here must die."

The black-clothed man, irritated by her, finally waved his hand and said, "Fine, slitting throats isn’t difficult. Just kill them all."

His men, upon hearing this, immediately raised their swords, preparing to kill everyone.

But at that moment, with a "thud," two teacups flew down from the second floor, knocking their swords away.

"Who?" the black-clothed men shouted angrily.

At that time, Yingniang also narrowed her eyes, her sharp gaze directed towards the second floor.

Nan Xing and Ruolan leaped gracefully, flying down from above.

Their expressions were icy cold; the princess was right, something was indeed fishy here.

These people actually dared to target the princess’s life, how despicable!

"To think there are still fish that slipped through the net, Yingniang, how did you handle this?" the black-clothed man said through gritted teeth.

Clearly, he was very dissatisfied with Yingniang’s oversight.

Yingniang could not tolerate this kind of situation happening, she pulled out a spiked whip from her body and sneered, "I actually forgot about you two. I originally wanted to drug you, to let you die without pain, but since you insist on coming out, I will let you experience what it’s like to die in agony."

"Ruolan, you go protect the Princess. I’ll handle this old witch," Nan Xing quickly said to Ruolan.

"Yes."

Ruolan nodded, drew her Soft Sword, and swiftly moved to Chu Baihan’s side.

Old witch?

What Ying Niang cared about most was her face.

Now, hearing someone insult her as an old witch, she was speechless with rage and immediately lashed out with her whip to clash with Nan Xing.

After a dozen moves, Nan Xing started to struggle.

But that was normal, Ying Niang was an assassin, her hands stained with who knows how much blood; she could employ any filthy method, with chaotic movements, each strike lethal.

Ruolan was facing the same situation.

She could hardly hold on any longer.

"Hmph, just the two of you trying to stop us?" Ying Niang continued to mock.

Being the most formidable assassin in the organization, she really didn’t take these two young girls seriously.

Just as her whip was about to strike Nan Xing’s face, suddenly a dagger swept through the air.

She sensed it, but by the time she reacted, it was too late. Her whip had been cut off.

Her expression darkened. "Who, who is it?"

"Nan Xing, Ruolan, take good care of the two little ones," a cold voice came.

Nan Xing and Ruolan’s eyes lit up.

"Princess!"

By that time, Chu Baihan had already slowly stood up.

She casually smoothed the wrinkles on her sleeve cuff, not even sparing Ying Niang a glance.

"You, you’re still alive?" Ying Niang exclaimed in shock.

The man in black was nearly furious to death.

"Ying Niang, is this what you call taking care of things?" he angrily rebuked.

"Garbage, do you have the right to question me?" She turned her head and retorted sharply.

The man in black wanted to argue more, but he thought of the urgency of dealing with Chu Baihan.

So, he had to suppress his anger, then gritted his teeth and said, "We must kill them first, otherwise if the mission fails, the master will not spare either of us."

Hearing this, Ying Niang dared not delay any further.

She was filled with a chilling aura, then she started to attack Chu Baihan.

The man in black and his subordinates, all began moving toward Chu Baihan.

It was then that the guards following Chu Baihan all came to, and began to help intercept them.

Seeing this scene, Ying Niang finally realized, she had been played by Chu Baihan.

"Bitch, you dare to play me!"

She screamed shrilly, her whip beginning to lash toward Chu Baihan.

Chu Baihan kicked up a sword from the ground.

With the sword in hand, she dodged all the attacks with the grace of a dancer, seemingly merging as one with the sword.

However, with Xixi and Jingjing present, she was worried about accidentally injuring them, so she quickly jumped out of the window.

Since Ying Niang and her group’s target was Chu Baihan, seeing her escape, they naturally followed.

Outside, the area was much more spacious, and Chu Baihan could finally stretch out fully.

Her movements were so fast they were nearly imperceptible; Ying Niang tried to attack several times, nearly hitting her own comrades with the whip instead.

Frustrated, her face contorted with anger.

Having been an assassin for so many years, only she toyed with others — when had others toyed with her?

With a loud shout, Ying Niang’s attacks became even more ferocious.
