Old Beardy Makes His Move

The bearded assassin used the ten days of rest to understand Hui Yue's movements completely. He even bribed one of the maids to give him a daily account of Hui Yue's activities.

Due to this, the bearded assassin was aware that Hui Yue had met Rong Liang, yet he had no knowledge of what information, if any, he had gained from the City Lord.

Old Beardy did not mind if his background was revealed. In fact, he would be thrilled if that was so, as he enjoyed the hunt more than the end. Currently, Hui Yue was the prey, and the young boy had already entertained him multiple times with his seemingly limitless potential.

First, was when they met, and Hui Yue had managed to react as swiftly as he did, not to mention the fact that he had managed to escape with such crippling injuries, and second, was the following day when he had shown up with no sign of any injury.
