When Xi Lesi learned what the Fifth Prince was doing right now, she immediately froze in place. Although Xi Lesi was the kind of woman who gave people a seductive impression, she clearly was not corrupt… The only feeling upon hearing such a thing was a bit nauseating.
After being stunned for a moment, she noticed someone passing by nearby, so she hurriedly put her mask back on, turned around and waved to Ye Chui: “Let us go to other places first. Coincidentally, I also have something to tell you. Come with me.”
Thus, Ye Chui followed Xi Lesi along the corridor deeper into the mansion. On the way, Ye Chui habitually opened the magic guide book map to check the nearby situation, and then, at this moment, he suddenly made an unexpected discovery.
“Hmm?” Ye Chui looked up at Xi Lesi leading the way ahead, then looked at his magic guide book map, his brows furrowing. Humans and other creatures would appear as dots on my magic guide book map; ordinary people would appear as white dots, while those with malice towards Ye Chui would appear as red dots. But now, what Xi Lesi presented on Ye Chui’s magic guide book map was a state of constantly flickering between red and white.
How could this be?
Xi Lesi was hesitating whether to attack me!
A sense of vigilance immediately arose in Ye Chui’s heart.
Soon, he followed Xi Lesi into an unoccupied room. It looked like a bedroom, somewhat outdated, as if no one had lived there for a long time. When Ye Chui entered the room, Xi Lesi began to remove the heavy armour from her body, revealing her usual alluring outfit. Ye Chui stared at Xi Lesi with wide eyes in a shocked manner.
“It seems I cannot make a move for the time being. I always get particularly nervous at times like this.” Xi Lesi said softly in her mouth. She swayed her graceful figure to stand in front of Ye Chui, showing a charming expression. “Ye Chui, do you want to ask me to do some interesting things with you?” Her finger gently pressed against Ye Chui’s chest, her voice carrying a seductive tone as she said, “Some things that can relax you, oh.”
Things to relax?
What kind of things that referred to was obviously self-evident!
“I do.”
Ye Chui immediately nodded eagerly with a lecherous expression, then asked again: “But there is one thing I must ask you first.”
“What is it?”
“Who exactly are you?”
Ye Chui’s voice suddenly turned cold, his right hand instantly enlarging and turning green, clenching into a fist and smashing towards the Xi Lesi in front of him.
Xi Lesi reacted exceptionally quickly as well, her body hurriedly retreating backwards, exclaiming in her mouth: “Ye Chui, what are you doing? I am Xi Lesi!”
“Then tell me, what food did Debbie and I order the first time we went to the Mercenary Guild?” Ye Chui asked with a cold smile.
Xi Lesi’s expression froze: “How could I possibly remember something from so long ago…”
“Heh, why would one need to specially remember such a thing? Because when Debbie and I first went to the Mercenary Guild, we were so hungry we had no food to eat, so we thought of taking on a mercenary task. We did not have a single copper coin on us then, so how could we order anything to eat? If it were not for Los treating us, we would probably have starved and fainted!” Ye Chui sneered. “You are not Xi Lesi. Who exactly are you?”
On the magic guide book map, the flickering dot had now completely turned red.
The person in front of him no longer concealed his killing intent.
“Was it I who lured you into revealing your flaw?” Xi Lesi said, but that voice had already changed into a man’s voice, and Xi Lesi’s body also underwent a change accordingly, slowly transforming into a man wearing black clothes and with long hair. He had a cold and wicked smile on his face, and a magic guide book with a purple cover floated beside his body.
“The renowned all-round magic tutor is indeed extraordinary. I originally thought I could deal with you straightforwardly.”
“Who exactly are you? What happened to Xi Lesi?” Ye Chui asked coldly. Of course, he had not discovered the other’s identity just because Xi Lesi had seduced him earlier, but there was no need to spell that out.
“The Cicada Castle three-star assassin, Leng Jing.” The black-clothed long-haired man first introduced himself. He was a Cicada Castle assassin. He continued, “As for Xi Lesi, heh, I am not sure if she is still alive. She is not a qualified assassin. But you should feel happy, because even if she dies, she does not want to betray you all. However, our guild always has ways to make people talk. Heh heh, who would have thought that the Name’s Whatever Magic Guild is actually the Apple Circus? Do you know how many people want to reap your life?”
“What did you do to her?” When Ye Chui heard the Faceless Grim Reaper’s words and knew that Xi Lesi had not betrayed him, his heart eased a bit, but he was even more concerned about Xi Lesi’s current life and death.
“We rescued her from the pursuit of the Skeleton Walker Magic Guild. We originally wanted to train her to become an assassin, but since she could not become a qualified assassin, we naturally sent her back to the Skeleton Walker Guild. You know how much their guild leader hates her.” Leng Jing said.
Ye Chui had heard Xi Lesi mention it before: she had offended a large magic guild and burned the life root of that magic guild’s leader… This was a hatred of cutting off one’s descendants!
Handing her over to the Skeleton Walker Magic Guild, Xi Lesi might already be dead by now!
Back then, after Xi Lesi met Ye Chui and his group, she prepared to continue completing the task of assassinating the Fifth Prince. Her partner Jiali Leng Ren died at Ye Chui’s hands, which might have been seen as betrayal by the Cicada Castle Guild, so they secretly imprisoned her and subjected her to some kind of interrogation, thereby obtaining information about Ye Chui and his group from her mouth. However, the Cicada Castle Assassin Guild did not spread Ye Chui’s information; instead, they disguised themselves as Xi Lesi to assassinate Ye Chui. This should be what happened in the past two days.
As for the Leng Jing in front of him, he had just performed disguise, which meant he knew life magic, and since he had replaced Xi Lesi in entering the Second Prince’s mansion, he was very likely to possess mind-control spiritual magic.
“Your disguise has now been completely exposed. You should know what kind of person I am. Do you still expect to kill me head-on?” Ye Chui said to Leng Jing in front of him. Assassins were people who walked in the darkness; they specialised in assassination, not frontal hard clashes.
However…
“Not all assassins rely on covert actions to complete their tasks.” Leng Jing said with a cold smile. “Lord Ye Chui, do you think I talked to you for so long for what reason?”
Ye Chui’s brows furrowed slightly. He had actually already noticed long ago that Leng Jing was talking to him to delay time and cast some magic, but Ye Chui wanted to know about Xi Lesi from his mouth, so he had not acted. Now it seemed that the magic Leng Jing was brewing had been completed.
Ye Chui’s right hand instantly manifested the barrel of a shotgun aimed at Leng Jing.
What Ye Chui did not expect was that Leng Jing made the same gesture towards him; he also raised his right hand towards Ye Chui, and the barrel of a shotgun similarly appeared in his hand.
“I know life magic and spiritual magic. I have always wanted to fuse these two magic elements, but unfortunately, I have never succeeded. However, because of this, I comprehended a spell that uses these two magic elements. Its name is [Heart Blood Twin].”
As Leng Jing finished speaking, his appearance changed once again, transforming into a young magic tutor wearing a black robe, which was exactly Ye Chui’s usual unmasked appearance!
[Heart Blood Twin]!
A terrifying magic that could perfectly imitate everything about the opponent, whether appearance or magic!
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
Ye Chui subconsciously activated [Spark Annihilation], but Leng Jing did the same attack. The two of them performed a round of mutual shooting as if they were exactly the same, making Ye Chui’s expression grow even more grave.
“It is useless. Under [Heart Blood Twin], I can replicate every magic you use. Although it is not learning these magics, during the time of using [Heart Blood Twin], I possess combat ability completely on par with yours.”
Leng Jing said with a loud laugh in his mouth: “Magic tutors use magic guide books as tools to summon magic elements to fight for themselves, and magic elements possess their own memory information, which is called magic memory. My spiritual magic can not only invade others’ minds but also invade magic memories. Any magic elements you summon can be perfectly replicated by me, and they are not affected by the magic system at all!”
There is actually such a magic? Ye Chui felt a bit tricky. At this moment, he suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside, along with some loud scolding voices. Clearly, someone had heard the commotion here and was rushing over.
Ye Chui’s body instantly dissipated into a swarm of bats and flew away from the room’s window.
And Leng Jing similarly dissipated into a swarm of bats, closely following behind Ye Chui.
The two swarms of bats crashed and chased through the Second Prince’s mansion. Finally, Ye Chui condensed his body in a certain room, and Leng Jing also quickly condensed his body, saying with a full face of cold laughter: “The all-round magic tutor is indeed extraordinary. You possess many rare magics. Unfortunately, I can only replicate your magics now and cannot fully possess them.”
Ye Chui’s face still had a big beard stuck on it, maintaining his disguise, but the Faceless Grim Reaper in front of him was Ye Chui’s daily appearance. It seemed that what [Heart Blood Twin] reflected was Ye Chui’s inner perception of himself, just like looking into a strange mirror. No wonder his name was Leng Jing.
Ye Chui suddenly asked with some doubt: “You can replicate my magics now, but you cannot kill me.”
“No, the terrifying aspect of [Heart Blood Twin] is not just replicating magic. Its most terrifying part lies in erasing magic. As I continue to entangle with you and continuously use your magics, soon, you will forget your own magics… By that time, I will use your magic to kill you!” Leng Jing said cruelly. He continued to raise his right hand, preparing to use [Spark Annihilation].
But at this moment, Leng Jing suddenly discovered a slight smile appearing on Ye Chui’s face.
Why was Ye Chui smiling?
A sense of foreboding rose in his heart. Just as he was about to act, he saw Ye Chui suddenly slam backwards forcefully with a boom. The wall behind Ye Chui was instantly smashed to pieces, revealing the scene on the other side of the wall.
And the other side of the wall was exactly the site of the Second Prince’s banquet!
Ye Chui had deliberately turned into bats earlier and led Leng Jing on a chaotic tour through the Second Prince’s mansion to attract him here. Leng Jing, as an assassin, was originally vigilant enough, but he had never used the bat swarm magic before. In bat state, he could not discern directions as proficiently as Ye Chui, so he was drawn here.
And as Ye Chui smashed through that wall, the originally lively courtyard instantly fell quiet for a moment, with everyone turning their gazes over.
In their eyes, the leader of the Apple Circus, Jobs, appeared somewhat dishevelled in the broken hole in the wall, and behind Jobs the leader was the figure of a young magic tutor. That magic tutor…
“Ye Chui!” The Fourth Prince stood up in shock and anger from his mouth.
Ye Chui was still in his big-bearded Jobs disguise right now, while Leng Jing was in Ye Chui’s everyday image. The Ye Chui the Fourth Prince referred to was obviously Leng Jing.
“The president of the Name’s Whatever Magic Guild, Ye Chui, has appeared! He is the empire’s public enemy with a bounty of 120,000 gold coins!” Ye Chui shouted loudly as he rushed into the courtyard.
In that instant, countless people’s eyes in the scene turned red.
The First Prince, Fourth Prince, Sixth Prince, and numerous members of the Moon Gem Steyr family and the Magical Beast Jolas family all showed extremely angry expressions. That was the hatred of killing a son, the resentment of seizing a wife, the fury of family honour…
“Kill him!”
In an instant, no one knew how many people roared angrily at the same time.
Leng Jing was directly stunned in place: “Hey, this is not right…”
Ye Chui, who had quickly run back to his little companions’ side, also hurriedly wiped the sweat from his forehead at this moment: “I really have so many enemies…”
