Volume 2: The Demonic World Chapter 390 Hidden Weakness
"You're moving faster than I thought." Tang Rui said.
As he spoke, he handed the balance to Lin Qianxing.
Thirty percent of the wealth of a man who is said to be the richest man in the world.
The wealth that Lin Qianxing now possesses instantly exceeds the national treasury accumulated by Daxing Kingdom for thousands of years.
So he decided to take a break and stop killing people.
Yan Mi is indeed not a good person. Anyone who holds a high position in the cultivation world always has to bear some sins. No one is a truly good person, not even Lin Qianxing himself.
But in Lin Qianxing's eyes, she was an interesting person, someone who interested him somewhat.
Killing her made Lin Qianxing feel a little uncomfortable.
But he still took action at that time.
Because he wanted to experience how an assassin would feel when facing someone he didn't want to kill.
It turns out that it is a very special emotion.
He couldn't figure it out and couldn't see clearly.
As a tool, an assassin shouldn't have too many emotions.
But as a human being, we must maintain our emotions.
The two opposing but simultaneous existences allowed Lin Qianxing to see more possibilities.
He sensed the two kinds of Tao fruits in his body.
One is [Xuanlu], which is cold and ruthless and kills everything.
One is [movement], which is hot, orderly, and eternally running.
Tao Fruit itself is just a key that can pry open anything. The difference lies in where you open the door.
So, essentially, there is not much difference between them.
A Taoist position may not necessarily contain the power of multiple infinite Taoist fruits at the same time.
Lin Qianxing appeared in front of Yan Mi's tomb.
After all, she was a fourth-rank cultivator, so Tang Rui did not make trouble for her body. He even took the initiative to purchase a beautiful place for her burial.
Lin Qianxing's red blood dagger appeared in his palm, and he swung it out suddenly, killing Yan Mi.
Yan Mi, who was lying in the coffin, suddenly opened her eyes, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
This time, she won the bet.
He won by taking advantage of Xuan Lu’s humanity.
From the moment I learned about his complicated rules for killing people and the first moment I saw him.
Yan Mi knew that this person was different from other assassins.
He killed people not because of money, but because of loneliness.
He was just looking for something to fill his empty heart.
But killing is obviously not a good solution.
Soon, the tomb was opened. Yan Mi straightened his clothes and looked at Lin Qianxing who was standing quietly not far away.
Yan Mi showed a brilliant and beautiful smile, and said: "I won. You are no longer a qualified assassin."
"I can take you in again at any time." Lin Qianxing said.
Yan Mi swayed her body, leaned close to Lin Qianxing, blew a breath into his ear and said, "You won't, you have found a way to fill the loneliness in your heart, and you can't bear to give it up."
"Stupid." Lin Qianxing sneered.
Then he turned and left. Yan Mi was a little stunned, but then she smiled and said, "You are indeed an interesting person."
Lin Qianxing returned to Qiuye Pavilion and handed the two jade rings to Han Qiuye, asking him to help pass them on to Tang Rui.
He failed in this assassination mission.
No assassin can guarantee success all the time.
It's a good experience to experience failure occasionally.
"I hope you remember what I once told you. Be careful of your weaknesses and don't let anyone find out, otherwise you might die at the hands of another assassin." Han Qiuye said to Lin Qianxing.
After hearing this sentence again, Lin Qianxing had a new understanding.
While he longed to retain his humanity, he did have weaknesses.
Yan Mi's strength was not considered strong in his eyes, but he still won a game.
If he had hidden his weaknesses, Yan Mi would not have taken advantage of them.
All of this was based on an arrogance that he himself was not even aware of.
Han Qiuye saw Lin Qianxing's expression and smiled.
He knew that Lin Qianxing, the somewhat arrogant assassin, had finally begun to take his reminders seriously.
This is a complete transformation.
From now on, this will be a true assassin.
Lin Qianxing returned to his shop.
At the door of the store, he saw Yan Mi who had been waiting for a long time.
The good fortune she had accumulated through gambling for a long time had been exhausted in the bet with Lin Qianxing. Now her luck was not good, and was even worse than that of ordinary people.
All the assets she had left behind were divided up.
Now, she is penniless except for some jewelry.
She could have chosen to go back to her old job, but for some reason, she didn't.
Turn over a new leaf?
She's clearly not that kind of person.
Yan Mi was just betting on another bigger opportunity.
Lin Qianxing fried two dishes, fetched a pot of wine, and drank with her.
After drinking a pot of tea, Lin Qianxing took another jar.
His wine is not ordinary wine, even a fourth-level cultivator can get drunk with it.
With the blessing of the Dao Fruit of [Movement], Lin Qianxing was fine, but two more blushes appeared on Yan Mi's cheeks.
She looked at Lin Qianxing with seductive eyes. Although she was dressed tightly, she looked very charming.
Lin Qianxing was not moved. He had experienced many games and had many beautiful companions, but Yan Mi was not the best among them.
Even if it was just to charm others, she was not professional.
Compared with Xun Lian, she is at most entry level.
Even though Lin Qianxing recalled that memory as if he were watching a video in a dream, he could still feel some inexplicable throbbing.
In comparison, Yan Mi in front of him seemed a little immature.
Of course, this may be related to the fact that she has never really had any deep contact with men.
"Are you scared?" Yan Mi looked at Lin Qianxing provocatively.
Lin Qianxing finally expressed his opinion.
He glanced at Yan Mi and walked into the house on his own.
Yan Mi smiled, stood up and followed Lin Qianxing.
Soon, the store door closed.
Yan Mi obviously didn't know how terrifying Lin Qianxing, who possessed the fruit of [Movement], was.
Even though Yan Mi's body was much stronger than that of an ordinary person, he could not bear that eternal energy.
So she lost this round.
After this day, Lin Qianxing learned to hide his weaknesses, and his store also had a regular customer.
A regular customer who neither lets him kill nor cook.
Time passed and soon spring came.
Something happened in Daxing. A general who was fighting abroad died a violent death, and the whole country was in grief.
At the same time, Lin Qianxing received another order.
This order was handed to him personally by Han Qiuye.
The person Han Qiuye wanted him to kill was Feng Yi, the prime minister of Daxing Kingdom.
"He was the one who killed Ding Cheng. This assassination was commissioned by me." Han Qiuye said.
Ding Cheng was the name of the general who died an untimely death.
Because of his political differences with Feng Yi and the fact that he was a general with a straightforward personality, he often offended Feng Yi.
It was just some minor conflicts, nothing serious.
Who would have known that this time he would actually take advantage of Ding Cheng's absence from the battlefield to trip him up and kill General Ding.
This is not just a matter of not knowing the seriousness of the matter, but he has crossed the line.
Regardless of whether the outcome of this matter was what he expected, he was the one who gave the initial instruction, so he deserves to die.
Lin Qianxing looked at Han Qiuye and replied calmly: "Reward?"
"I got you a fourth-level [Chef Spirit] job contract." Han Qiuye said.
Lin Qianxing was very satisfied with the remuneration, so he took the task and left.
In fact, it is very interesting that Han Qiuye wants to kill Feng Yi.
Because the king of Daxing was named Han.
Many things that Qiuye Pavilion does are directly ordered by the court itself.
It is actually very difficult to manage the affairs of people in the underworld.
Especially when it comes to using the law to control it, it becomes even more difficult to resolve.
On the contrary, some direct methods are more effective.
That’s why there is this Autumn Leaf Pavilion.
It is ironic that an illegal assassin group was set up to eliminate the country's parasites and make the country run better.
However, it is even more ironic that such means would be used against the prime minister.
Logically speaking, the king would not use such means against the prime minister. After all, he is an important official of the country. Even if he wants to take action, he will not use such reckless means.
So this time, it was probably Han Qiuye’s own idea.
He could not tolerate such a person existing in the court of Daxing State and causing trouble.
Interestingly, the news that Lin Qianxing was going to take action against the Prime Minister quickly spread in the secret passage.
Everyone knew that Xuan Lu, the Zhenjin assassin from Qiuye Pavilion, was going to attack the prime minister.
This assassin has never failed since his debut, and even Sima Shu, the leader of the Formation-Breaking Army, was no exception.
He is a national figure.
As for why everyone knew that it was Lin Qianxing who killed him.
Fourth- level cultivators are not easy to come by. Lin Qianxing was able to be promoted to a Zhenjin Assassin at that time, so he could easily deduce some things.
Afterwards, the news spread widely.
There was a chorus of applause in Daxing.
No one thought it was wrong, and everyone thought Feng Yi deserved to die.
Lin Qianxing guessed that it was Han Qiuye who did it.
He had never thought that an assassin could actually make an announcement to build momentum before the assassination.
So blatant, so unbelievable.
Then Lin Qianxing’s store was closed down.
Countless officers and soldiers conducted searches inside and outside.
His portrait was also posted everywhere and a reward was offered.
However, the officers and soldiers only made two symbolic trips and did not really put in any effort to search.
No one in the secret passage took the reward seriously. Those who did not come to offend Lin Qianxing were just waiting to watch the show.
The undercurrent behind this is a fierce political struggle.
Some people want Feng Yi to die, while others don't.
But Lin Qianxing didn't care about these. He was an assassin and all he had to do was choose the right time to kill.
Taking advantage of the night, Lin Qianxing arrived near the Prime Minister's Mansion.
His figure was hidden in the darkness and no one could see his existence at all.
There are a lot more soldiers stationed around the Prime Minister's Mansion, and there is still some strong aura inside.
Lin Qianxing knew that these days when Feng Yi went out to attend court, he was accompanied by several carriages to confuse the audience, and there was also a fourth-level cultivator protecting him.
That fourth-rank cultivator was the palace's foundation, and the king obviously didn't want him to die, at least not like this.
However, the king did not take direct action against Qiuye Pavilion, and even found Lin Qianxing through Qiuye Pavilion.
There are so many contradictions here that it's hard to complain.
Lin Qianxing disappeared into the void without alerting the soldiers or the formations arranged around him, and he easily sneaked into the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Then he met the fourth-level monk in the palace.
The moment their eyes met, the other party suddenly turned his head away and said, "We've been waiting for so long and the assassin still hasn't come. It seems he's scared. Fortunately, the prime minister is so scared that he has to sleep in the east wing and doesn't dare to sleep in the main room."
