Masked Assassin

The girl Liu Cheng wanted to propose to turned out to be no ordinary girl. Coming from a wealthy merchant family and possessing a beauty that is not easy to find, the girl is also a master of literature and many other arts.

"Of course the Liu family wouldn't let him marry a random girl…" Xiao Chen thought with a faint smile.

Fang An intended to say goodbye after Liu Cheng's group arrived safely at the girl's residence, but Liu Cheng asked the two of them to stay longer.

"Elder Fang, the fee I gave before was far from enough for Elder's help. Give me some time so I can give what the Elders should get, I will talk to my future father-in-law." Liu cheng said.

"Young Master Liu, there is no need. After all, I didn't do anything."

Fang An smiled faintly, he just sat accompanying Liu Cheng in the carriage, there was no chance for him to act so getting more than 50 gold pieces for Fang An was too much.

"Elder Fang, don't say that. It was already dark too, instead of looking for lodging again, it was better to stay at this residence. I guarantee that the quality will be better than any hotel Elder can find."

Liu Cheng was indeed good at making Fang An speechless, no wonder the Liu family was called the ministerial family because his descendants were very good at using their mouths.

Xiao Chen understood the reason Liu Cheng had asked Fang An and himself to stay longer was actually because Liu Cheng discovered that there were no skilled swordsmen in this residence.

"This Young Master Liu seems to be sure that he is the one being targeted by the Flower of Sin. Does he have any big enemies?" Xiao Chen thought while observing Liu Cheng's movements.

Fang An was invited by Liu Cheng to meet his future in-laws and wife while Xiao Chen had no intention of joining them. Xiao Chen explained he wanted to spend his time alone.

Liu Cheng asked one of the bodyguards who had first-class warrior skills to guard Xiao Chen, even though Xiao Chen felt that it was unnecessary but he did not refuse it.

Xiao Chen went to look for a quiet place in the residence, he found a quite large garden and then chose to sit on a large rock.

"I will meditate for a few hours, you don't have to wait for me." Xiao Chen said to the bodyguards following him.

The guard frowned, he didn't answer but leaned against one of the trees while continuing to observe Xiao Chen. His pride did not allow Xiao Chen to rule over him after all if something happened to Xiao Chen then Liu Cheng would blame him.

Xiao Chen didn't care about the bodyguard anymore, he turned his back to the bodyguard before starting to consume the Water Ginseng. It didn't take long before Xiao Chen's body emitted an aura that made the bodyguards nearby find it hard to breathe.

"This kid… He is also a warrior." The bodyguard initially thought Xiao Chen was joking when he said he wanted to meditate for a few hours. According to the bodyguard, Xiao Chen was still too young to learn internal strength arts.

There were indeed some great sect disciples who were capable of cultivating profound energy at a young age, but they were all martial geniuses. Seeing the aura radiating from Xiao Chen's body, the bodyguard began to think that Xiao Chen was one of the geniuses in the stories he heard.

An hour passed, Xiao Chen didn't budge from his position at all. When Xiao Chen managed to digest all of the water ginseng's nutrients, he let out a long breath and white smoke emerged from his mouth.

Xiao Chen wanted to consume another ginseng but he felt a murderous intent towards him. The killing intent was faint, its owner must have been trying to hide it but Xiao Chen still managed to notice and locate the position of the person who was targeting him.

"He seems to be waiting for his comrades…" Xiao Chen was pretty sure the hiding figure was one of the killers from the Flower of Sin, the reason he had not launched his attack was due to the presence of bodyguards near Xiao Chen.

"If they still want to attack in a residence that has many guardians like this, Flower of Sin will surely mobilize many of its members. It's not impossible that some purple mask assassins will appear…" Xiao Chen scratched his head, he really didn't want to get involved in this matter.

Xiao Chen didn't know Liu Cheng and maybe in his previous life this Young Master of the Liu family died at the hands of the Flower of Sin organization. Xiao Chen didn't want to change the history of people who weren't related to him, it could be that if Liu Cheng lived after this there would be many changes in the future that might not necessarily be in his favor.

"I must get Master to leave this place immediately…" Xiao Chen got up from his seat, he rushed to find Fang An.

If the Flower of Sin really sent a few assassins in the purple masks here to kill Liu Cheng then the combination of Fang An and Liu Cheng's protector Wu Ya might not be enough to deal with them.

The bodyguard who had almost fallen asleep from watching Xiao Chen sit motionless for an hour woke up from his reverie.

"Down!" shouted Xiao Chen suddenly.

The bodyguard was a little surprised but he did as Xiao Chen said, right after he ducked a knife stuck into the tree exactly where his head had been previously. The guard quickly rolled over and took cover behind a tree as several more knives flew at him.

Xiao Chen cursed in his heart, he didn't expect it to be so late. Xiao Chen could feel that there were eight additional people near the figure he managed to detect earlier.

Little did Xiao Chen notice, his order for the Liu family's bodyguards to bow down made the Assassins of the Flower of Sin so shocked. They believed they had sneakily attacked the bodyguard while harboring their killing intent, these assassins also had the confidence in their knife-throwing abilities that had been trained through years.

"I'll take care of the guard, you take care of the little brat and don't let him escape..." The assassin wearing the golden mask jumped up high after saying that.

The other eight assassins, three were in silver masks while the rest were in bronze masks. They all obeyed the order and immediately rushed to surround Xiao Chen.

"Little brat, If you don't want to get hurt then obey us…" said one of the silver masked assassins.

Xiao Chen glanced at the bodyguard guarding him, now that bodyguard was having a fierce battle with the golden masked assassin. Even though both of them have the same abilities, namely first-class warriors, it is clear that the golden masked assassin is superior.

The assassin in the golden mask besides having strength also has a lot of combat experience compared to the bodyguard.

The assassins from the Flower of Sin thought their plan was going well until Xiao Chen did something that shocked them.
