Chapter 765: Chapter 261: Why Not Kill [Additional for Silver Alliance Lord Wise Haichen] Chapter 765: Chapter 261: Why Not Kill [Additional for Silver Alliance Lord Wise Haichen] This distressed her greatly. The advancent rate of the assassin called Tender is too rapid. He poses no threat to her now, but what about in the future?
Originally, Dong Xiaoyan wouldn’t have given Tender a second thought – a small-ti assassin who is two ranks below her.
Yet, the Xu brothers from the Honest Grocery Shop keep bringing up Tender.
As Dong Xiaoyan’s been spending a lot of ti in the grocery shop recently, she often overhears-
“Tender and us were originally on the sa level, both being Iron Rank assassins, our rankings were even pretty close at one point.”
Xu the Third sighed deeply, “Now we’ve finally achieved Silver Rank, and our ranking isn’t that low amongst the Silver Ranks…”
“But Tender has already beco a Purple Crystal…”
“The pace of his progress, it’s just, it’s just unbelievable…”
Dong Xiaoyan asked curiously, “When was he ranked the sa as you?”
“About a year ago…” Xu the Third replied.
Dong Xiaoyan’s expression imdiately turned serious.
A sense of urgency suddenly seized her.
Over a year ago, he was just Iron Rank? And now, he’s already a Purple Crystal?
This…
“Tender must have so significant backing!”
Dong Xiaoyan stated decisively.
She surely can’t be wrong on this point, because her own rise to power was largely facilitated in such a way.
Starting with a high rank, completing missions naturally becos extrely simple. The Heavenly Judge assigns tasks without any limitations on quantity or ranking, and thus, rising in rank can be done rather swiftly.
Given this understanding, Dong Xiaoyan arrived at a conclusion: Is this guy deliberately trying to catch up with ?
Such speed, he’s closing the gap too quickly.
I started ahead, leading by so much. If he catches up, it’ll be deeply embarrassing.
“You have no idea, Tender is a maniac… He went in for the Gold Rank training once, and almost each of his classmates ended up submitting to him, becoming his subordinates.”
“Everyone knows of Tender, the class leader. Many have said they want to follow him in future. They just can’t find out where he’s hiding. Now that they know he’s in Yuezhou, they’re all coming one by one.”
Xu the Fourth lanted, “I have never seen an assassin who could have the whole world after his life, yet still be supported by so many… Tender truly is an anomaly. He is also the most successful assassin I’ve ever seen.”
Dong Xiaoyan sarcastically queried, “Is that so?”
Xu the Fourth hurriedly conceded, “Of course, Tender may be good but when compared to the Little Princess, he is nothing but a joke.”
Dong Xiaoyan snorted, and walked away with a flourish.
…
anwhile, in the shadows.
Over in Great Yan…
“Yihwen, the rumors you’ve been spreading about the Divine Doctor haven’t had much effect, the results are rather disappointing.”
Miao Sensen frowned.
Recent reports revealed that those in need of dical aid were still flocking in droves, with no signs of decrease.
The Divine Doctor’s security still appeared impregnable as ever, leaving no room for any potential leaks.
The so-called rumors seed as futile as a droplet falling into the ocean.
“We had two goals in spreading those rumors. Now that our secondary goal has basically been achieved, as for the Divine Doctor… We are still building up to it, gaining montum. There will definitely be developnts later on.”
Bai Yihwen confidently replied, “Others aren’t fools, they will not simply watch on as Great Qin continuously strengthens itself. Currently, the core of Great Qin’s growth is the Divine Doctor, so the target for them will inevitably be the Divine Doctor.”
“Oh?”
“Truly effective rumors consist of ninety percent truth, with only crucial points fabricated. The war strategy of Great Qin we have revealed in our rumors is wholly true, completely unaltered. In fact, what we wanted to reveal to the world is this piece of information, and the effects of the rumors are beginning to show.”
“Firstly, Qi State has begun to reinforce its troops and is transporting more forces from two different directions. Secondly, all countries have grown more wary of Great Qin, and they may potentially unite to attack Qin in the future.”
Pointing at the map, Bai Yihwen continued, “Big brother, look. Chu, Qi, Wei, Han, and Wu have all fortified their borders. This visible change is a reaction to Qin’s continued dominance, stirring up widespread animosity that will lead to a united force against Qin if conflict arises!”
Miao Sensen slowly nodded his head.
The increased reinforcent from the five states will definitely exert trendous pressure on Great Qin.
“Among the seven states, we, Great Yan, are slightly weaker, but with the four states reinforcing their ranks, this pressure is shared amongst us which is greatly beneficial to our national strength.”
“anwhile, the individuals treated by the Divine Doctor from various states have all been implanted with seeds of doubt, which will inevitably erupt sooner or later.”
“If there cos a situation where attempts are made to assassinate the Divine Doctor all at once, that would be even better as the balance of power would then completely tip out of control…”
Bai Yihwen seed a little regretful, “Unfortunately, that would be taking things to an extre, only to be undertaken when they feel the pressure is unbearable, and we’re not there yet…”
“In the current situation, it’s better to stay still and watch how things evolve,” Bai Yihwen said with absolute certainty.
Because he knew, the other kingdoms were bound to react!
No one was a fool, anyone could see that although the ergence of Doctor Feng trendously boosted the power of Great Qin, it also placed Great Qin in the eye of the storm.
There was no doubt about it.
While it’s true that Great Qin had beco the target of all aggression, the conflicts hadn’t reached a critical point as they hadn’t been fully exposed earlier.
However, with the ergence of Doctor Feng, Great Qin’s threat to the rest of the world multiplied many tis over. How could the leadership of the other kingdoms not be alard?!
No matter how much the elites of each kingdom conspired against each other, when it ca to the survival of the kingdom itself, everything else would temporarily be put aside in favor of a unified front.
Patriots from among the common people would also step forward.
Therefore, he wasn’t at all worried about the other kingdoms standing around doing nothing.
What he was contemplating now, was at another level: If the other kingdoms were to send out their troops, then, how could Yan state take advantage of the situation and benefit?
When faced with allied armies from multiple countries, would Great Qin continue to resist, or would it surrender and make concessions?
If Qin country were to surrender, Doctor Feng and even the entire Yuezhou city would beco quite awkward!
At that point, things would beco really interesting!
…
“Other countries are making a lot of noise,” Zhuang Weiran reminded everyone during dinner.
“We’re just wanderers of the world,” Feng Yin replied with a faint smile. “State affairs should be left up to those at the state level. All we need to do is enhance our personal strength, ensure the security and peace of those around us. I am committed to killing evildoers and healing the good, doing everything that I think is worth doing, but it’s rely a matter of personal inclination.”
“Excellent words, it’s challenging enough to do good for yourself, let alone for the whole world. But how many people in this world can actually achieve that?” The Cat Emperor expressed his genuine admiration, obviously appreciating Feng Yin’s approach to life.
Indeed, the world belongs to everyone, state affairs are state affairs, each kingdom takes care of itself, and individuals look after themselves!
Feng Yin has always been very clear about these connections. His closeness to Great Qin and the Yuezhou army was because their camaraderie had reminded Feng Yin of his previous life. It was simply because he couldn’t bear to see soldiers shedding both blood and tears. It didn’t an that Feng Yin had truly sided with the Great Qin.
“There’s one thing that I’ve been pondering over and can’t seem to figure out,” Zhuang Weiran started.
“All these things that are happening right before our eyes, are the handiwork of Bai Yihwen, the Black Feather of Yan State. This is an undeniable fact,” Zhuang Weiran declared.
“Indeed. That’s the actual truth,” Feng Yin replied nonchalantly.
“So why don’t you use your current influence and just kill him directly?” Zhuang Weiran asked.
Zhuang Weiran suggested, “Like offering a reward. Whoever brings you Bai Yihwen’s head could be offered priority treatnt. Or, whoever brings the heads of Yan State’s top officials would also get priority treatnt.”
“In this way, wouldn’t it be easy and legitimate to get rid of him and solve the root cause of the current chaos? Even if all else fails, this could at least create a lot of disturbances in Great Yan. All these are achievable very easily, aren’t they?”
“By doing this, won’t it help avoid all these annoying little tricks that keep appearing one after another and are so entangling?” Zhuang Weiran continued.
Indeed, Bai Yihwen’s continuous petty tactics and seemingly ridiculous strategies, despite not causing any real damage to Feng Yin, as the direct victim, Feng Yin had to admit they were downright nauseating.
However, Feng Yin, from the start, rely expressed his dissatisfaction in a very subtle way, and then took no other actions.
This was the case for incoming patients as well as his own close associates.
Zhuang Weiran couldn’t understand why Feng Yin would still act so restrained and maintain his image as a benevolent doctor even with his own people.
In Zhuang Weiran’s eyes, it would be extrely easy to solve this problem. Even without posing as a divine doctor and offering a reward, a deal with a being from so killer organization could get Bai Yihwen taken care of pretty easily, in exchange for promising to treat just one person.
There were more killer organizations in the peaceful continent than only the Heavenly Judge. High-grade killer organizations were abound, and there would be a crowd of people eagerly waiting to accept deals from the divine doctor.
So why was it that Feng Yin didn’t move at all?
In response to Zhuang Weiran’s query, Feng Yin scratched his head and asked leisurely, “Why should I resort to that?”
“???”
Zhuang Weiran was stunned. He did not anticipate such a reply from Feng Yin.
Since their positions were so divergent, leading towards a fight to the finish, why shouldn’t one act in such a manner?
“Uncle Zhuang, your sight is limited in certain matters. Honestly, I never thought about doing such a thing,” Feng Yin admitted openly. “Perhaps my current inclination has misled you, or perhaps I’m just old-fashioned. But you should know that whether in the past or now, I’ve never regarded Bai Yihwen as my opponent.”
“??”
Zhuang Weiran beca even more confused.
“I have definitely thought about this matter,” Feng Yin mused. “But I belong to the world of wanderers, as do all of us here. We are not truly affiliated with any official forces, whereas Bai Yihwen is a man of the court. He is not one of us, a wanderer. If I were to speak honestly, his strategies cater to the wars and disputes among the different kingdoms and happen on the battleground of Qin, Yan, and Qi. As for , I am only a wanderer.”
