"Lan, I have something to tell you." Yan Fei leaned on the arms of the clan leader and whispered.
The clan leader patted Yan Fei's soft and boneless shoulders, smiled lightly, and said: "In fact, from the first time I met you, I guessed your identity. You are the Dongjun Yan Fei of the Yin-Yang family, right?" Yan Fei
was stunned, her expression a little complicated. Not long ago, she even thought about killing the other party. Thinking back, her heart was full of guilt.
The clan leader continued: "It doesn't matter whether you are the Dongjun of the Yin-Yang family or any other identity! I only know that you will be my future wife Feiyan."
"Hold my hand."
"Grow old with you."
In the moonlight, he lifted her rosy little face, and his lips fell on her forehead, eyes, and nose. Finally, he could not control the temptation and took advantage of the atmosphere to kiss the softness that made him think about it day and night.
In the room in the west courtyard, through the gaps in the doors and windows, Jingwei saw the clan leader and Yan Fei hugging and kissing each other happily. An unconscious smile crossed her face. She envied Yan Fei, for finding a man who loved her and could rely on him.
Deep down, she longed for a day when she could live without the bloodshed, but unfortunately, this was all wishful thinking, as she was a Luowang assassin.
By the time the clan leader had escorted Yan Fei back to her residence, it was already late. Women in ancient times were very conservative, and since they weren't married yet, the clan leader naturally couldn't let Yan Fei stay overnight.
Otherwise, wouldn't that really happen? Someone in our clan is a serious person.
The next day, after a night of soul training in Douluo Continent, the clan leader, in a rare move, didn't return directly to the Qin's Moon world. Instead, he left his room and went to the Tiandou Auction House in Tiandou City, where he spent a fortune on a rare soul-guiding house.
The house was luxuriously decorated, fully equipped with every amenity, and could be resized to fit the palm of your hand.
This cost the clan leader nearly a million gold soul coins. There was no other way; having agreed to marry Yan Fei, they couldn't afford to be stingy.
In addition, they bought a lot of things for the wedding and finally sneaked back to the residence of Tiandou Academy.
After doing all this, the clan leader returned to the Qin's Moon world.
While breathing a sigh of relief, for some reason, he always had the illusion that he was cheating and was afraid that his wife would find out.
It's a pity that the clan leader can't bring anyone back to Douluo Continent at the moment, otherwise he could bring Yan Fei back. At most, he would go back and get a beating from Xiao Wu and the little cat.
Walking out of the room, he saw Jing Niu cleaning the courtyard. Tiles and mud that were damaged by the fight yesterday were scattered all over the courtyard. It seemed that she had been cleaning for a long time.
"Young Master, you're awake! I prepared breakfast for you." Jing Niu said.
As she spoke, Jing Niu walked towards the kitchen.
The clan leader walked to the pavilion and sat down, calling her, "Miss Ni Jing, no need, and you don't need to clean the courtyard either."
Jing Niu frowned slightly. She thought, did he find out something?
"Young Master, what are you doing?"
"Please sit down first! I have something to ask you." The clan leader raised his hand and motioned Jingwei to sit down.
"Sir, please ask. Ni Jing will tell you everything she knows." Jingwei knelt down, clutching her dress tightly with both hands, a look of worry on her face.
Zu Zong smiled and said, "Don't worry. I will be leaving Xianyang City in a few days and plan to leave the Qin State. I want to ask if you want to come with me. To a place without hatred and bloodshed, where the Qin State and even the Seven Kingdoms cannot reach."
"A place where the Seven Kingdoms cannot reach?" Hearing this, Jingwei's pupils shrank sharply. Zu Zong's words hit her sore spot.
The clan leader solemnly declared, "Indeed, there's no hatred or suffering beyond the reach of the Seven Kingdoms! There's only an old man with two apprentices, and a happy family of three. You no longer have to live in fear, living one day and dying the next."
By this point, Jingwei couldn't help but sense his exposure. A frost settled on his face, and he asked in a deep voice, "When did you discover that?"
The clan leader smiled calmly, "I've known it since the first moment I saw you. You're Luowang's top assassin, Jingwei."
"You—" Instinctively, Jingwei attempted to use his qinggong to leap onto the rooftop, but found himself unable to move, as if pinned by four stators.
Unbeknownst to him, the clan leader's eyes had turned blood red, and three magatama within his pupils spun counterclockwise.
Indeed, Jingwei had been caught in the clan leader's Sharingan illusion—the immobilization technique.
"Are you looking for this?" The clan leader's right hand directed toward the rooftop above him, and the Jingwei sword flew out, landing in his hand.
After realizing she couldn't move, Jingwei didn't show any despair or panic, but more of a look of relief. A bitter smile appeared on her pale face, and she said, "Kill me!"
The clan leader shook his head, "I never thought of killing you. Let me ask you, how have I treated you these days?"
Hearing this, Jingwei's face showed a thoughtful look. Recalling every detail of the past ten days, the clan leader treated her the same way, and never treated her as a servant. And she only had to make tea, cook, and clean the yard every day. Sometimes she even thought, how nice it would be if times like this could last forever.
Jingwei's lips trembled slightly. After a long pause, he finally uttered, "You treat me very well."
The clan leader replied, "I wouldn't say I treat you very well. I just treat you like a normal person! You're different from the other assassins in Luowang. You still have a heart. Only with a heart can a person truly be considered alive. I can see from your eyes that you long for freedom. And you and Feiyan are similar in some ways, willing to give everything for the ones you love."
"You have three days to consider whether you will leave Luowang and follow me, or continue on and become the feared, top-tier assassin Jingwei. I'll meet you at the Shili Pavilion outside Xianyang in three days."
As soon as he finished speaking, the clan leader disappeared into the courtyard.
At the same time, the illusion surrounding Jingwei was lifted. Looking at the Jingwei sword left on the table, he fell silent.
Time slipped by, and in the blink of an eye, another three days had passed.
During these few days, at night, the clan leader returned to Douluo Continent as usual to cultivate his soul power, and during the day he took Yan Fei for a walk on the street to cultivate their relationship.
Qingjiao complained again: Where is the swordsmanship you promised to practice? It seems that you spent all your time picking up girls.
The clan leader was very happy during this period, because not only did he improve his soul power to level 47, but he also got Yan Fei as he wished. As for Jing Niu, the clan leader gave her a chance, and today is the last day. After tonight, if she still chooses Luowang, then it will all be considered as his own wishful thinking.
