Chapter 394: The Beauty’s Trap!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Sun Tianbiao had three objectives he intended to accomplish in Qingshui City. Firstly, find the whereabouts of the Sun Family’s n. Secondly, find Ling Yun and kill him! Finally, search for news about the Emperor Brush and Earth Emperor’s Book.
As for the Zhuang Family and their engagent, those ant nothing to Sun Tianbiao.
There was no way Sun Tianbiao would have made a trip to Qingshui City just to deal with Zhuang Tiande, a rich rchant in Qingshui City.
Sun Tianbiao already prepared himself for the scenario where Niu Fenjiao and the Sun Family’s n were dead.
Sun Tianbiao believed that Ling Yun disappeared and went into hiding on that weekend night because he was frightened. Hence, he set up many ploys to lure Ling Yun out.
However, those two matters weren’t the priority. To Sun Tianbiao and the experts that he had brought, the most important matter was to find the whereabouts of the Emperor Brush and Earth Emperor’s Book!
That was also what Ling Yun was most concerned about. He wasn’t afraid of the Sun Family discovering that he was the one who had killed the Sun Family’s n or them choosing taking revenge. He was most concerned about soone finding out that he had the Emperor Brush in his possession!
Other than Ling Yun’s most trusted allies, such as Dugu Mo, Miao Xiaomiao, and Tang Tianhao, he wiped all the others’ mory of the Emperor Brush!
Zhuang ifeng laughed dryly as she reclined elegantly on her own sofa. With a negotiating tone, she said, “As long as you can promise that your Sun Family will never bother the Zhuang Family ever again, I’ll tell you everything that happened that night.”
Seeing Zhuang ifeng’s composure, Sun Tianbiao could only nod and agree. “Fine, I’ll promise you. Tell what happened that night!”
Zhuang ifeng smiled leisurely as she replied, “I hope you keep your word.”
Sun Tianbiao replied faintly, “I, Sun Tianbiao, from the Sun Family, would never break such an insignificant promise to a little girl like you.”
Zhuang ifeng knew this as well. The very fact that she was able to make it this far was already a huge surprise to her. Even if Sun Tianbiao went back on his promise, there was no way she could stop him with her abilities.
She was also very confused. She didn’t expect Sun Tianbiao to be so agreeable toward her demands. He had actually given her multiple opportunities to do so while they negotiated on equal grounds!
Zhuang ifeng would have never imagined that Sun Tianbiao believed that there was an imaginary enemy backing her up. Right now, she was just going with the flow!
Without ti to think about it any further, she didn’t make other requests and began to execute the plan that she and Xiao ii had talked about. She said, “I think your Sun Family must already know about the Assassins Organization in China, correct? He Xinyan is from that organization, and they have been planning an attack on the Sun Family!”
“What! He Xinyan? Assassins Organization? This...” Hearing this, Sun Tianbiao’s brow furrowed tightly!
Behind Sun Tianbiao, the Xiantian Realm experts from the Tranquil Sect, Shaolin Temple, and Maoshan Sect couldn’t help but look at each other as their expressions changed simultaneously!
...
Ling Yun disappeared out of the blue. Obviously, the two highly intelligent won, Zhuang ifeng and Xiao ii, wouldn’t just sit still and wait at ho. That was especially so after the Sun Family reached Qingshui City. They racked their brains to co up with a counterasure.
Many bystanders’ mories had been wiped that night, but Zhuang ifeng’s and Xiao ii’s mories were not. Together with Xiao ii’s careful consideration, the two of them ultimately ca up with a counterasure and chose to implent their plan separately.
Both of them knew that this plan would cost a huge price. In fact, because of a huge loophole in the plan, there was a high chance that it wouldn’t succeed. However, in order to save Zhuang ifeng’s family, the plan of action they decided was to buy ti and await Ling Yun’s return.
The crux of this plan was the Assassins Organization!
This was because after Ling Yun had killed Deepa on Thursday night, Xiao ii had a conversation with Ling Yun at the rental house. She had clear mories of that.
Back then, Ling Yun asked Xiao ii how the Assassins Organization used their communication devices and whether they would be able to make use of it to disguise themselves as assassins from the organization. From there, they could lure out the people that wanted to assassinate them.
While they were discussing this, Xiao ii had warned Ling Yun that if they did that, they would bring out even higher-ranked assassins from the Assassins Organization. She had asked him if he would be afraid of that. At the ti, Ling Yun gave a proud answer. “If they do, we’ll just fight them off! Let them all co at !”
This left a deep impression on Xiao ii. So, she began to formulate a plan with the Assassins Organization at its core.
On that night, three assassins from the Assassins Organization had co for Ling Yun. It was unrelated to the Sun Family, but out of the four great experts from the Sun Family, one of them had been from the Assassins Organization!
That person was He Xinyan, who was at the pinnacle of Houtian Realm Level Eight!
When Ling Yun killed He Xinyan, he had said to everyone that He Xinyan was from the Assassins Organization!
While Ling Yun was preparing to go to the crater that weekend, he was very busy. He only managed to make a trip to the rental house on that Sunday afternoon to tell Zhuang ifeng and Xiao ii to return to Qingshui Wharf’s Mansion Number Nine. He didn’t have ti to explicitly tell the two what had happened on Friday night.
When Zhuang ifeng returned to the Zhuang residence, she arrived much later than Xiao ii. When she arrived, she had happened to hear Niu Fenjiao announce the cancellation of the engagent. During the ti she ran away from the Zhuang Family, she didn’t know what had happened in the Zhuang Family.
However, Xiao ii knew better than anyone else about the power and secrecy of the Assassins Organization!
If they wanted to find a scapegoat for Ling Yun, Xiao ii could only make use of the Assassins Organization!
With that, since the Zhuang Family were all regular people, they didn’t have any power to stop what had happened. Naturally, the Sun Family wouldn’t be able to push the bla on the Zhuang Family either.
Furthermore, if they redirected the bla where the Assassins Organization had killed the Sun Family, then the Sun Family’s biggest enemy would beco the Assassins Organization and not Ling Yun!
Even though Ling Yun couldn’t avoid his responsibility in the matter completely, making this claim would definitely divert Sun Tianbiao’s attention!
This would kill two birds with one stone!
While the two wrestled with one another, Ling Yun would benefit! This was originally a plan that Ling Yun had thought up himself, but he didn’t expect the two intelligent won by his side to use it while he wasn’t around!
This would definitely buy so ti for Ling Yun. Once they contacted Ling Yun, the two beauties believed that he would have enough wit and ability to resolve all the problems!
It was because his glowing golden body that was protected by the nine dragons dispersed an emperor’s aura. Ling Yun was simply too powerful!
...
“The Assassins Organization? You’re saying that on that night, people from the Assassins Organization showed up as well? Why would they attack our Sun Family?” Sun Tianbiao’s brows furrowed tightly as he stared at Zhuang ifeng and questioned. He seed to be murmuring to himself at the sa ti.
Seeing Zhuang ifeng’s composure, Sun Tianbiao couldn’t help but believe her words. It was because an ordinary person wouldn’t have known about the existence of the Assassins Organization. Anyone who knew would have already died!
Smiling plainly, Zhuang ifeng replied, “That’s right, the Assassins Organization was there!”
“I admit, in order to save and protect his own life, Ling Yun killed several regular experts from the Sun Family. But that was only self-defense. Back then, his only plan was to make your wife withdraw the engagent by writing this letter!”
As she said this, Zhuang ifeng lifted her beautiful hands and extended her index finger to point at the letter. Continuing, she added, “This letter was indeed written after your wife called you. At the ti, it was already getting late. After the engagent was canceled, both sides no longer had any energy to continue fighting, so we prepared to leave. This was when it happened!”
“Three strong fighters from the Assassins Organization appeared at the house. Together with that He Xinyan from your Sun Family, they began to kill the people from the Sun Family without saying a word!”
“At the ti, Priest Compassionless, Priestess Heartless, and Head Priest Liu Deming were still around. They started to fight, and the whole place beca a ss...”
“When we saw that, we were at a loss and couldn’t tell who was fighting. We only knew that soone got injured quickly. But after a while, sothing else happened!”
“I heard soone shout loudly while another person appeared. After that, my vision turned black, and I can’t rember anything after that...”
The narration of events Zhuang ifeng had just told was amazing. With her words, the truth seed to sound like a lie, and the lie sounded like the truth!
Xiao ii knew that attempting to lie to Sun Tianbiao about what happened before that call would be useless, so she told Zhuang ifeng to tell the story as it was.
However, even if that were the case, Zhuang ifeng continued to push all of the bla onto the Sun Family.
However, everything Zhuang ifeng talked about after the letter was written was fake. Originally, Ling Yun had the upper-hand. After killing Priest Compassionless and Head Priest Liu Deming, he killed all three assassins from the Assassins Organization with his ability-surge.
However, with her words, she extracted Ling Yun from the entire picture, pretending as if He Xinyan was the one who betrayed them and caused a fight to break out between the Sun Family’s n and the Assassins Organization...
Furthermore, in the mix of her truths and lies, the greatest addition was how she heard “yet another person appear” and how her “vision turned black”.
It had already been ssy at the start, and with the arrival of another person, the situation had beco more chaotic. Right after that, Zhuang ifeng fainted, so she would have had no clue where the Sun Family’s n were and what happened to the assassins from the Assassins Organization!
When Zhuang ifeng explained what happened, Sun Tianbiao used his sharp gaze to stare at Zhuang ifeng’s eyes as he thought deeply in his heart.
Within the seven families in the city, there was a complicated political battle brewing amongst them. On the surface, it seed to be sothing they could ignore as everyone maintained a delicate balance for peace.
The Sun Family’s power as an entity was neither strong nor weak. They ranked fourth out of the seven families. Not only were they a family that hoped to fight their way to get a spot in the top three, but they were also a target for backstabbing. Their position amongst the families was precarious indeed.
He Xinyan excelled in Qinggong and assassination. Could it be that it was really the Assassins Organization that did it? Why did they send spies to the Sun Family? Which family was the one behind this sche?
Was it the Long Family? The Chen Family? Perhaps the Ling Family?
The Chen Family had been desperately hoping to rise in rankings. Without concern for their thods, they were involved with the East Asian Tokugawa Clan as well. They were likely to be the culprit...
Even so, this didn’t seem right. Even if the Chen Family really wanted to attack the Sun Family, there would be no way they would have done it in such a roundabout way by getting the Assassins Organization involved. Furthermore, they used them just to attack Niu Fenjiao and Sun Xing...
Sun Tianbiao had multiple won by his side. Purely by counting his sons, he had at least seven. If they wanted to capture a powerless wife and a useless son to put him in distress, that was simply ridiculous.
“Is what you said really true?”
Sun Tianbiao was an old, sly fox. Even though Zhuang ifeng had executed the plan flawlessly, after thinking for a while, he refused to believe it.
However, Zhuang ifeng’s purpose wasn’t to let him believe it. As long as Sun Tianbiao began to second-guess himself, she had succeeded!
Staring straight into Sun Tianbiao’s eyes coldly, Zhuang ifeng’s beautiful eyes were alluring. With a steely gaze, she said, “Anyway, this is all I know. It’s up to you whether to believe it!”
