-in-law's meaning.They had tried every means to dissuade her from this marriage, but Zong Yulian was determined to marry far away.She didn't want to have another pointless conflict with Yulian.Zong Yu...Zhao Xingzhou's injuries had just healed, fortunately, these people weren't as skilled as last time. After confirming they didn't have any backup, he unleashed his full power and knocked them all down.

Fang Jinshu hurriedly shouted, “Leave a living mouth!”

Zhao Xingzhou acted quickly, halting the attack and leaving one person to apprehend Fang Jinshu.

"Who sent you here"

The assassin seemed quite professional, let out a hum.

"In business, honesty is paramount. Here at Wuyouge, we never betray our clients' information. If you're going to kill someone, do it!"

Wait, Wuyouge!

Upon hearing this familiar name, Fang Jinshu's pupils constricted sharply.

Back then, Wuyouge and Li Liehai almost killed their spouses. Zongyu even lost her memory because of it. She hasn't settled the score with them yet.

Even after Fang Jinxiu recovered her memories, she continued to search for them. That time, she nearly wiped out all the assassins of Wuyou Pavilion. The master of Wuyou Pavilion and Li Lie almost disappeared from Daxixi.

She always thought the Wuyou Pavilion was gone, so she later focused only on finding Li Lie's whereabouts. Unexpectedly, this ridiculous assassin organization is still alive.

Zhao Xingzhou was startled, grabbed the person's neck and demanded fiercely.

"Wuyou Pavilion Who is your pavilion master"

This is impossible, back then it was him and Pan Zhi'an who arrived together, and personally investigated the life of the master of Wuyou Pavilion.

As for the one named Lee, he has indeed disappeared without a trace. Not even he can be found.

All the assassins of Wuyougge have died. What's going on with this Wuyougge in the capital

"The name of our master is not something you're allowed to inquire about. Only the dead know his name!"

This guy's still tough talk, Zhao Xingzhou laughed in amusement.

"Don't pretend, I'll break your hands first, then slowly snap every bone in your body. Let's see how long you can keep up that tough act."

That person's expression seemed a bit off. Fortunately, Fang Jinshu discovered it in time and quickly shouted out.

"Grasp his jaw, there's poison in his mouth!"

Zhao Xingzhou was fast enough with his hand, cracking a sound as he dislocated the man's jaw, stopping him just in time from committing suicide by poisoning.

The assassins of Wuyu Pavilion aren't very intelligent, but they're all fearless in the face of death. She's learned that much already.

These people are not without weaknesses; they are also greedy.

Let me ask.

Zhao Xingzhou immediately retreated to the side.

Fang Jinshu didn't let him put the killer's jaw back on. First, she took out a silver note worth five hundred taels from her bosom.

They were assassins, weren't they They did it all for the money. Seeing this bank note right in front of them, and it was a hefty five hundred taels, made their eyes bulge.

He didn't care if his jaw hurt.

Seeing this, Fang Jinshu smiled. Greed is good.

"Can so many of you taking this job make money from this silver note in my hand"

The assassin hesitated for a moment, shaking his head pitifully.

It's probably heartbreaking to think that with so many brothers risking their lives, they couldn't even earn five hundred taels.

Fang Jinshi was stunned. She hadn't expected her life to be worth only five hundred taels. Which vengeful enemy had such poor eyesight, and who had gotten this wrong

"You can't even make five hundred taels, and you're willing to die for it Is that worth it"

"I have a task here as well, and if you're willing to take it on, these five hundred taels will be yours alone. What do you say"

The assassin was madly smitten, his face full of hesitation.

He wasn't sure what this woman wanted. What if she asked him to do something that went against the principles of Wuyou Pavilion Then he wouldn't be able to survive in this line of work.

It's okay if the task fails, I can just refund the employer.

But Wuyou Pavilion has one iron rule: it's absolutely forbidden to leak employer information. If its reputation gets tarnished, Wuyou Pavilion won't get any more jobs.

Fang Jinshi saw his concerns and said again.

"Don't worry, I won't ask you to do anything against the rules. My requirements are simple."

“I hired you to protect me. That way, even if the other side’s mission fails, it won’t be blamed on you. How about it”

The hitman was stunned for a moment. What In this day and age, there are still people who hire hitmen to protect themselves.

They're just killing people, aren't they I've never heard of a job like this.

Can you hear me

It seems like I can take it too. The master only said not to leak the employer's information, but didn't say anything about not taking jobs for protecting people.

After figuring it out, he nodded repeatedly at Fang Jinshu.

Zhao Xingzhou was puzzled when Fang Jinxiu said she wanted to keep the assassin by her side. This was someone who wanted to kill her, wasn't it too dangerous to have them around

"Zhao Xingzhou, put his jaw back in place and loosen it."

He frowned, "No!"

"Keeping someone like this around you is too dangerous."

What if he still remembered his mission and pretended to agree to her, then killed her later to finish the task

Zong Bai saw through his sister-in-law's intentions. Over the years, she had been searching for the two masterminds who had caused such a huge upheaval to their family. One of them was Wuyou Pavilion.

If the killer in front of us isn't from Wuyou Pavilion, then your sister-in-law wouldn't have acted this way.

She didn't care much about the employer of these inept assassins. The mistress had them kept around hoping to use them as a lead to find her target: the Wuxiang Pavilion.

The assassins of Wuyou Pavilion are known for their integrity. Once they accept a job, they will never back out.

"Didn't I say so" Zong Bo asked the man.

The assassins nodded in succession.

"Yes, our Wuyou Pavilion has always been the most trustworthy in the industry!"

"Since Lady Fang has become my employer, the previous mission is considered a failure. I will return to the manor to accept punishment and then come back with the employment contract."

"You need to pay half the deposit first, that's the house rule."

Fāng Jǐnxiù didn't say a word and placed all five hundred taels into the assassin's hand. She looked at his surprised expression and said,

"Here, I'm giving you all five hundred taels. Take half back as a deposit, and the rest as compensation for my last mission failing."

"I cherish my own life, and I want to go to Wuyougong with you. Hire a few more people to protect me."

After all, there are quite a few people who want to kill me lately.

Fāng Jǐnxiù's lies came easily, and the intelligence of this killer before her was nowhere near hers. Besides the lure of money, he hesitated for only a moment before agreeing.

"Fine, I can take you there, but you have to listen to me."

"Our Wuyu Pavilion only allows old customers of the master to enter, new customers are basically not allowed in."

"Lady Fang, how many assassins would you like to hire What level of skill are you looking for I can help you negotiate the price!"

Fang Jinshi smiled.

"It's getting late, why don't you go back and finish the previous task first"

"Meet me at the gate of Jinshui Mountain Villa tomorrow morning."

"As for these men," she glanced at the other assassins knocked unconscious by Zhao Xingzhou on the ground.

"I have to get everything done clean, right"

The assassin paused, Fang Jinxiu thought he would plead for his comrade. Unexpectedly, after a brief moment of hesitation, he said with a look of regret on his face.

"They were unlucky, of course, you can do what you want with the failure."

He is indeed a cold-blooded and ruthless killer.

"Come here."

She made Zhao Xingzhou hand over his sword, and the assassin, without hesitation, took it and ended the lives of his companions in a few swift moves, not even batting an eyelid.spirit spring before, excited as if they smelled the scent of the spirit water. Could this spirit water have the effect of taming wild beastsShe quickly produced a bit of spring water in her palm, and...
