Assassination 1

  "Is he... coming today?" Lan Ya's face was unnatural, ever since a few days ago, when Zhu Ye Kuang Ming mentioned Bai Li Lian Cheng, she didn't dare to see him again, fearing that Zhu Ye Kuang Ming would really deal with him.

  "Morning came and went after a while, I saw that the third prince is sincere to you, miss. What do you think?" Xiangxiang pouted, looking very conflicted.

  It's been four days, and San Wangye comes every day, but the young lady just won't see him. I remember last time was fine, and they didn't even have a fight.

  Lan Ya let out a soft sigh: "Next time, when you see him, tell him not to come again."

  She didn't want to drag Baili Liancheng into this, how could the status of a Northern Zhou prince compare with that of Zhu Ye's?

  "I really don't understand." Chen Xiang shook his head: "Right, last time the owner of Chunyuan asked if Miss had any new songs and she was willing to pay a higher price.

  "You went back and replied that I won't be composing songs anymore." Her leg had almost recovered, and she had accumulated some savings from composing songs before, plus the 100,000 taels from last time, which added up to a considerable amount.

  "Oh." Xing Xiang responded.

  "Is the second young lady in?" A voice came from outside the courtyard.

  Chen Xiang stood up and looked around: "What's wrong with Chun Xiang?"

  "Just now, there was someone outside the mansion who asked me to deliver a letter to Second Miss." A woman named Chunxiang walked in.

  At this, Lan Ya raised her head: "Letter?"

  Chen Xiang handed the letter over to Lan Ya's hands, Lan Ya opened the envelope, and on the rice paper was written a line of words, at the end of which was signed: Bai Li Lian Cheng!

  "Did the messenger say anything?" She folded up the letter and asked, looking up.

  "That person just said to give the letter to Second Miss and didn't say anything else."

  Lan Ya slightly furrowed her brow, waved her hand to signal the maid to leave, and then looked at the letter again. There was something to report, outside the city, in the suburbs!

  "What's written on Miss's face?" Xingxiang asked suspiciously.

  "Take a look yourself."

  Chen Xiang took it over, furrowed his brow in the same way, and asked tentatively with raised eyes: "Third Master Wang has invited Miss to meet him. Does Miss want to go?"

  Lan Ya's eyebrows furrowed tightly, she couldn't just hide like this after all, it was better to meet up and clear things up.

  Outside the city, suburban forest

  In October, leaves wither and fall, and dry leaves cover the ground in the suburbs. A wheelchair rolls over them, making a rustling sound.

  She didn't let Chen Xiang follow her, and she walked a bit slower in her wheelchair. As the wheelchair turned, not far away on the mountain slope in the suburbs, a figure in white stood with their back to her. Seeing that flash of white, Lan Ya's heart skipped a beat.

  "You've been waiting for a long time, haven't you?" Lan Ya asked.

  The figure behind her didn't speak or turn around, but emitted a killing aura from his body.

  Feeling that aura, Lan Ya was taken aback, her eyes narrowing as she wondered how Baili Chengcheng's body could emit such an aura.

  "Who are you?" Lan Ya's voice rose.

  "Miss Mu Er is even more intelligent than the rumors." A deep voice sounded, and the person turned around.

  A face that wasn't very handsome to begin with, had a deep scar on the left cheek, making his already unattractive face look even uglier, and yet, he was wearing an all-white outfit.

  Ugly face, paired with white clothes, unspeakable gloom, like the White Impermanence of Hell.
