Four people were sitting together in a horse carriage, they were heading towards the border between the Zhu Kingdom and the Shui Kingdom. As the coachman had said earlier, it would take them three days to reach the place.
Xia Tian who was looking at the scenery outside the carriage asked Murong ngxin. "Can you tell what really happened to your mother, Miss Murong?"
p
Xia Tian frowned upon hearing Murong ngxin's story. "Was there no other family at the ti, Miss Murong?"
"Only my second uncle, his wife, and son." Murong ngxin replied as she looked at Xia Tian in confusion.
Alice suddenly warned Xia Tian. [There are two people who have followed you since you left Red Stone Town, Master. And their cultivation is at 1st Stage Core Formation Realm.]
"Hmm?" Xia Tian frowned upon hearing that, he then scanned the surrounding area.
Xia Xing who saw Xia Tian's reaction imdiately asked. "What happened, Tian?"
"Two assassins at 1st Stage Core Formation Realm have followed us since we left Red Stone City." Xia Tian explained to her, then she said. "You guys keep going, I'll catch up with you later."
After saying that, he directly used his Void Breaking Step towards the location of the two assassins. Murong ngxin and Lin Xue were dumbfounded to see Xia Tian suddenly disappear, Lin Xue muttered in confusion. "How could he just disappear like that? I can't even feel the energy changes in his body."
"Will he be okay, Xing'er?" Murong ngxin anxiously asked.
Xia Xing laughed as she answered Murong ngxin. "Leave it to Tian, Sister ngxin. He will definitely be back soon."
--------------------------------
"That Lin Xue is very strong, Brother. Even if we attack her together, we still won't be able to defeat her." One of the assassins said to his partner.
Since his partner didn't answer him, he turned his head towards his partner, but he saw a long black sword pierce his partner's chest. He was horrified, because he didn't feel anything, and his partner had died just like that.
Xia Tian who was behind his partner laughed at his reaction. "Tsk! You're just a stupid assassin, you didn't even notice my arrival" Xia Tian said as he drew his sword, and the corpse of the assassin instantly fell from the tree.
"Who are you? Why are you interfering in our business?" The assassin asked while shouting at Xia Tian, because he couldn't even sense Xia Tian's cultivation made him wary of Xia Tian.
"Tell who ordered you to kill Murong ngxin?" Xia Tian spoke as his eyes turned cold.
"Humph!" The assassin snorted, and charged at Xia Tian.
*Clang...*
But Xia Tian easily deflected the assassin's dagger with his sword, then he kicked his abdon hard, causing the assassin to take a few steps back, but he imdiately disappeared.
[Behind you, Master!] Alice called out to him.
*Clang...* Thanks to Alice's warning, Xia Tian swiftly parried the assassin's dagger again.
'What the hell! He seems to have eyes on the back of his body.' The assassin scread inwardly, after his attack was parried, he then disappeared again.
'Tsk, his technique is really annoying! If it weren't for my weak senses, I would have been able to get over it sooner.' Xia Tian turned around to find where the killer was hiding. 'Can you locate him, Alice?'
[I can only find out his location as soon as he moves, Master.] Alice replied.
'I see.' Xia Tian nodded in understanding.
The assassin smiled seeing Xia Tian confused to look for him, he imdiately moved to attack Xia Tian again.
But unfortunately, he didn't notice the smirk on Xia Tian's face as soon as he moved, because Alice had already told Xia Tian about his location.
When the assassin attacked, and thrust his dagger into Xia Tian's body. Xia Tian's body turned into purple lightning, and electrocuted the assassin instantly. It was an Innate Ability he had obtained from Tian Qilian, the Lightning Clone.
The assassin instantly fell to the ground, and his body was convulsing wildly, before long the real Xia Tian appeared in front of him.
"Argh...!" The assassin scread loudly in pain as soon as Xia Tian imdiately cut off all four of his limbs.
"I gave you the easy way to die, but you chose the hard one instead." Xia Tian said with a smirk. He then crouched down beside him, and touched his head. "Soul Search!"
Before long, many images from the assassin's mories appeared in his mind. Seeing all those mories shocked Xia Tian, then he sighed heavily.
[Looks like this matter won't be easy to solve, Master.] Alice softly said.
"Sigh, human greed really has no limits." After saying that, Xia Tian then used Void Breaking Step to return to the horse carriage.
--------------------------------
On The Carriage
"Xing'er, he's already gone-"
Suddenly Xia Tian's voice cut off Murong ngxin's words. "Oh? You're worried about , Miss Murong?"
"Young Master Xia!" Murong ngxin exclaid as Xia Tian suddenly appeared before them. "What about those two assassins?"
'I can't feel his presence, even I still can't detect his cultivation.' Lin Xue thought to herself.
"They're dead, but I found so interesting information." Xia Tian then touched Murong ngxin's forehead, and passed the information from the assassin to her.
Murong ngxin blushed brightly, because this was the first ti a man had touched her, even though he had only touched her forehead. But her face instantly darkened after receiving all the information, she then looked at Xia Tian in disbelief. "Is that all the information from that assassin, Young Master Xia?"
Xia Tian nodded. "En. That's what I got after reading his mind, frankly it also shocked . Anyway, this matter will not be easy to solve, and that person will definitely send another assassin after knowing that they failed this ti."
Murong ngxin's expression beca gloomy, she realized that it would not be easy to fight that person, because that person's strength and authority was too great. Even though her family is a big and well-known family, but her family is nothing in that person's eyes. She then explained to Lin Xue about the information Xia Tian got from the assassin, and Lin Xue's face also turned ugly after hearing her explanation.
"If my guess is correct, that person covets your family's Thousand Treasure Pavilion, Miss Murong. I don't know whether his father supports him or not, but if his father supports him, then your chances against them are zero." Xia Tian was telling the truth, because he didn't want to give Murong ngxin a false hope.
Murong ngxin was stunned by Xia Tian's words, of course she understood that. But what can she do, she is only a rchant, and her cultivation is not high either.
"Looks like there's no other way, I have to follow her wishes." Murong ngxin muttered to herself with a pained expression. However, the three of them could hear her muttering, Lin Xue was also helpless to help her.
Xia Xing who was quite close to Murong ngxin, she directly asked Xia Tian through voice transmission. 'Can't you do sothing for Sister ngxin, Tian?'
Her question made Xia Tian sigh, he then replied. 'You know that I'm dealing with Yuhe's matter, so I can't help her for now, Xing'er. Because ngxin's problem is quite complicated, although it's not as complicated as Yuhe's.'
'At least help her a bit, Tian. Sister ngxin is such a nice person, I really can't bear to see her like that.' Xia Xing said with a pleading expression hoping Xia Tian would be willing to help Murong ngxin.
Xia Tian looked at Xia Xiaoxing seriously, then he said again. 'Moreover, ngxin has nothing to do with , Xing'er. So why should I help her? I'm helping Yuhe because she's my woman, and that's my responsibility.'
Xia Xing giggled, then said. 'Then take Sister ngxin as your woman, Tian!'
'Cough!' Xia Tian choked on her words. 'Are you crazy, Xing'er? Do you know how many won I have now?'
'Looks like they're talking about sothing important' Murong ngxin said to herself, as she continued to observe their strange behavior, she wasn't surprised that they were communicating using voice transmission.
Xia Xing counted one by one, then asked. 'Aren't your won only six including ?'
Xia Tian shook his head, then pointed to the number eight with his fingers, Xia Xing was stunned for a mont, then shouted at him. 'Eight? Who are the other two? Why don't I know about them?'
'Liu ng and Tian Qilian. You don't ask about Tan Qilian, I myself don't know what she is like. Because it was an accident, and it happened when I absorbed the Fire Ox Core.' Xia Tian replied guiltily, he still felt guilty towards Tian Qilian.
Hearing Liu ng's na made Xia Xing dizzy, of course she knew that Liu ng was Liu Ying's cousin, and she also had a husband. 'You really are insane, Tian. You even snatched Aunt ng away from her husband! In that case, take Sister ngxin as your woman too, adding another one is also more useful for you.'
Xia Tian sighed heavily, he shook his head, then said to Murong ngxin who seed to be curious about them. "You don't need to be so curious, Miss Murong. I may have a way to resolve your problem with him."
"Is that true, Young Master Xia?" Murong ngxin let out a low cry hearing that.
anwhile, Lin Xue looked at Xia Tian questioningly, because Xia Tian looked confident that he could solve Murong ngxin's problem.
Xia Tian paid no heed to Lin Xue's gaze, and he simply nodded at Murong ngxin. "We'll talk about this later, the most important thing now is to heal your mother first, because I must return to Xia Manor soon."
