“Yagyuu Piaoxu greets Saint Lord.” After Xiang Yang opened her acupoints, Yagyuu Piaoxu flipped and knelt in front of him. Her big, watery eyes looked at Xiang Yang, no longer with killing intent.

“What sort of era is this? You’re still in the habit of kneeling down? Quickly get up.” Xiang Yang reached out and pulled Yagyuu Piaoxu up.

“Thank you, Saint Lord.” Yagyuu Piaoxu stood in front of Xiang Yang respectfully.

“Come, sit, and tell me why you want to assassinate Sun Qingya.” Xiang Yang said with a smile.

“This servant dares not.” However, Yagyuu Piaoxu did not dare to sit down, and respectfully stood there.

"It’s fine if you don’t want to sit, but tell me why you want to kill Sun Qingya.” Xiang Yang did not force her, but instead asked about the matter of her assassinating Sun Qingya.

A struggling expression appeared on Yagyuu Piaoxu’s face; as if she was hesitating whether or not she should tell Xiang Yang the truth of the mission.

Xiang Yang looked at her quietly, he did not urge her. He knew that as an assassin, the first thing they had to do was to keep it a secret, regardless of the situation, they could not reveal their employer’s secret.

“Saint Lord, I don’t know who my employer is either.” After hesitating for a while, Yagyuu Piaoxu said.

“Oh, I wonder who the employer is. What are you hesitating for?” Xiang Yang rolled his eyes.

"I… I just feel as a descendant of the Yagyuu Family, I want to become a killer for the sake of making money, and am afraid of being mocked by Saint Lord." Yagyuu Piaoxu’s face showed guilt.

"That’s right, you are a member of the Yagyuu Clan, why didn’t you stay in the Island Country and come over to be an assassin when you have nothing better to do? Do you think your life is too long?" Xiang Yang said.

Xiang Yang’s words seemed to have caused Yagyuu Piaoxu to be hurt, her eyes reddened, and tears actually started to fall.

“…”

Xiang Yang’s eyes opened wide as he looked at Yagyuu Piaoxu gloomily, “What’s wrong with you? Why are you crying all of a sudden, after chatting so well, a man and a woman in the same room, people who don’t know the situation will think what kind of things I’ve done to you?”

"I… I am only sad for the sake of my clan. Saint Lord, please help my clan." Yagyuu Piaoxu knelt in front of Xiang Yang while crying and hugged Xiang Yang’s thigh.

“Aiya, don’t cry, tell me what happened to Yagyuu’s clan?” Xiang Yang said helplessly.

“The Yagyuu clan has been exterminated.” Yagyuu Piaoxu cried as she spoke, her eyes shooting out rays of hate.

“Ah … How is that possible, Old Geezer Yagyuu’s strength is at least in the top ten of the Island Country, who has the ability to eliminate the entire Yagyuu family, could it be that the Island Country’s government has taken action?" This time, Xiang Yang was shocked quite a bit. Although the Yagyuu family was not the top family in the Island Country, they were still a high level family of Ninjas, especially after living for more than a hundred years; their cultivation had already reached the realm of Innate Full Circle. Among the Island Country, who could rank in the top ten, he truly could not think of any force that could annihilate the Yagyuu family.

“I don’t know.” Yagyuu Piaoxu shook his head.

“You don’t know?” Xiang Yang was even more shocked.

Yagyuu Piaoxu said as she choked on her sobs, “The enemy’s face was covered, the technique she used was not from any of the schools that I know, and there were many other experts too. We do not know which school she came from.”

“Oh, this is interesting, the large Yagyuu Clan has been annihilated, you actually do not know which sect the other party is from.” Xiang Yang rubbed his chin as he thought deeply.

“Saint Lord, you must avenge our Yagyuu family!” Yagyuu Piaoxu cried miserably, she was getting more and more agitated, and her whole body jumped straight into Xiang Yang’s embrace. Xiang Yang was rubbing his chin as he thought about it, and did not avoid it.

“Clang …”

Seeing that, Yagyuu Piaoxu’s face revealed joy, her right hand moved, a short blade from Ninja appeared in her hand, and directly stabbed towards Xiang Yang’s chest.

“Bang!”

When the blade touched the hard part of Xiang Yang’s chest, she could not help but reveal an excited expression. However, she very quickly discovered that something was wrong, as though the blade had stabbed into steel or something.

“Do you feel weird?” Just as Yagyuu Piaoxu was stunned, Xiang Yang laughed lightly.

After the successful assassination, Yagyuu Piaoxu’s figure blurred and she instantly used Island Country’s Little Devil’s ninja technique and disappeared in front of Xiang Yang.

“If it was old fogey Yagyuu who used the Invisibility Evasion, I might have to spend more time to search for it. But you, who are merely a part of clan, you want to play tricks in front of me? You’re simply courting death.”

Xiang Yang laughed lightly, and patted on his clothes which was ripped apart, his face revealing a strand of killing intent, it was so dangerous, and he was almost scammed by this woman. If he was not cultivating his external technique, and had already reached the boundary of a small city, and if normal weapons were not able to harm him, he would have been killed by this woman today.

Waving the jade in his hand, Xiang Yang disdainfully laughed out loud. How did Yagyuu give this to him with a single defeat, this was just an extremely ordinary accessory, this little ninja really thought that this was some Yagyuu clan inheritance treasure, it was too funny.

Yagyuu Piaoxu’s martial arts and ninja arts were indeed of the Yagyuu Clan, Xiang Yang had never doubted her identity, it was just that he had nothing to do with Yagyuu, the ancestor of the Yagyuu Clan, but was actually his enemy. He only took out the jade pendant to test the waters, and did not expect that this stupid killer would actually so self-righteously come up with something that he almost believed in.

“Are you still not coming out? Then I’ll have to do it myself.”

Xiang Yang smiled faintly and patted his waist with his right hand to remove all the gravity from the belt. He felt a sense of relaxation, as if he was suddenly filled with strength.

“Even though I haven’t reached the level of Innate for external techniques, I shouldn’t be too far off.”

Xiang Yang clenched his fists, he felt that his entire body was filled with power, although he was unable to use the True Qi s, but he had changed to train in external techniques. Although his power could not be compared to his previous peak, he could still protect himself.

“Weng …”

When Xiang Yang was feeling the release of the gravitational restraints on his body, a ripple appeared not far in front of him. Yagyuu Piaoxu suddenly appeared, holding a long Ninja Blade with both of her hands as she slashed towards Xiang Yang’s head. The bright silver light suddenly flashed, and following the blade’s slash, it reached Xiang Yang’s head in an instant.

“Ding!”

Xiang Yang laughed indifferently, his right hand moved like lightning, his index and middle finger holding a long Ninja Blade, and then his left hand punched forward.

“Bang …”

Yagyuu Piaoxu was directly flung high into the air by Xiang Yang’s punch, and only dropped down after colliding with the ceiling.

“Sizzle sizzle.”

The current Yagyuu Piaoxu was already severely injured, and she spat out blood, but while she was falling, she was still shooting a few darts with a blue light at Xiang Yang.

“How professional.” Xiang Yang sighed. He held onto the Ninja Blade with two of his fingers, and with a flip of his wrist, all the Ninja Darts were blocked.

When Xiang Yang’s gaze fell on the fallen Yagyuu Piaoxu, he realized that the latter had once again used the invisibility spell and disappeared, leaving only a pool of blood on the ground.

“She can actually move after spitting out blood. Her vitality is quite strong.”

Xiang Yang’s face revealed a surprised expression. Suddenly, his ears twitched, and when he heard the sound of the door opening, his expression changed. He muttered, “I originally wanted to play with you a little longer, but now it seems that I won’t have much time.”

As the sound of his voice faded, his silhouette flickered as he dashed towards the left. His left hand pointed out continuously in the air, and every single strike landed squarely on the ground.

Not long after, a black clothed figure appeared out of thin air. It was Yagyuu Piaoxu, whose acupoints had already been opened, and currently, she could not even move. Her right hand was holding onto a Ninja short blade, maintaining a posture of not moving at all.

“Stay here, I’ll deal with you later.”

Xiang Yang smiled faintly, and without caring about Yagyuu Piaoxu who had her acupoints touched, he opened the door and walked out.

“Big Sister Jingrou, you’re finally back.” Xiang Yang walked out of the room, only to see Su Jingrou dragging her luggage in with a face full of exhaustion.

“I just came back to pick up some stuff. I’m going out later.” Su Jingrou said softly.

“Not taking proper rest during the day or night is not good, your body will not be able to take it anymore in the future. Look at your current state, how can you work spiritually, you should rest for a few days, in order to work more efficiently." Xiang Yang said earnestly in a low voice.

Su Jingrou smiled bitterly when she heard it, “I can’t help it, I just started working, so I’m still not familiar with all aspects of the bar. Don’t look at how tired I am, I’ll just drink a cup of coffee and be energetic once I reach the bar.”

“I’ve never heard of any coffee that had such a good refreshing effect, unless it was a drug.” Xiang Yang muttered in his heart, he did not believe what Su Jingrou had said.

“I’ll go get something first.” Su Jingrou rushed into her room to retrieve her things, and after about 10 minutes, she came out carrying a big luggage, and said to Xiang Yang: “Xiang Yang, I’m leaving. When I’m not usually here, I need you to take care of my home.”

“Don’t worry, with me here, I will definitely tidy up our house cleanly and beautifully.” Xiang Yang patted his chest, promising with a resounding pat.

“Then I’ll leave the house to you.” Su Jingrou chuckled, then dragged her luggage and left.

“What a desperate little girl.” Xiang Yang sighed, went to the window and looked down the road. Not long later, he saw Su Jingrou dragging a suitcase along, to the side of a luxury car, and a middle aged man immediately walked out and helped her put the suitcase back into the car, then helped her open the door and got in.

"Driver? Or a suitor? Or husband?" Xiang Yang muttered in his heart, he was extremely curious about Su Jingrou’s work these few days, “When the time comes, let’s go to her pub to have a look.”

After making up his mind to look for an opportunity to check out Su Jingrou’s work environment, Xiang Yang leisurely walked into his room with his hands behind his back. However, to his astonishment, he discovered that Yagyuu Piaoxu, who he had freezed by pressing acupoints, had disappeared.

“Damn, my Pressure Point Technique is peerless in this world. Although it is not as effective as the True Qi, it can at least last for a few hours. How did she run away?”

Xiang Yang was furious, she was just a patient cultivator, it was obviously impossible for her to break her own acupoints and escape, but for someone to save her; thinking that there was actually someone to appear in his own home to save her, he felt extremely displeased.

Xiang Yang immediately took out his phone and made a call. After the call was connected, he said, “An hour ago, I captured a female Ninja and called myself Yagyuu Piaoxu, but she was saved. I want to know everything about her.”

However, a voice came out of the phone, “Give me ten minutes.”

“Alright.”

Xiang Yang hung up the phone, his face revealing a cold smile, "Yagyuu Piaoxu, Yagyuu Piaoxu, Yagyuu Piaoxu, I don’t care who you are, but you lied to me, dared to assassinate me, and even dared to run away from me. Don’t even think about living your life happily, do you think that you’ll be safe if someone picks you up?
