Joy of Life: I am Li Chengze, and I have mastered the Eight Wonders

Chapter 62 Assassination
After several days of careful preparation, Li Yunrui finally locked in an eighth-grade peak master as her chess piece.

At this moment, she couldn't help but feel deep nostalgia for the former ninth-rank archer Yan Xiaoyi. Yan Xiaoyi's unparalleled assassination ability was exactly what she desired most at this moment.

However, due to various reasons, Yan Xiaoyi is no longer around, and Li Yunrui can only settle for the next best option.

After some twists and turns, Li Yunrui successfully invited Lin Wan'er and used the mother-daughter relationship to lure Lin Wan'er out of his sight.

Afterwards, she used her power and status to cleverly disperse the guards around Fan Xian, creating an opportunity for the eighth-rank assassin to take advantage of the situation.
Opportunity.

However, when the assassin sneaked into Fan Xian's room, he encountered an unexpected situation.

Fan Xian was actually sitting at the head of the bed, his eyes sharp as torches, and he showed no sign of surprise at the assassin's arrival, as if everything was under his control.

"Assassin?" Fan Xian asked calmly, with a hint of amusement in his tone.

The assassin's heart trembled. Although he was masked, he could still feel Fan Xian's extraordinary calmness and composure.

He knew that the mission was urgent and there was no time to hesitate, so he quickly adjusted his mindset and launched an attack on Fan Xian.

However, what the assassin never expected was that Fan Xian's strength had quietly broken through to the ninth level.

Even though he was seriously injured, he was still able to handle this peak eighth-grade master with ease.

With just one punch, the assassin was hit hard. He was sent flying with blood gushing out of his mouth.

"Your true energy is not damaged!?"

The assassin was shocked and his eyes were full of disbelief.

He never expected that after being injured, Fan Xian not only recovered quickly, but also greatly increased his strength, reaching a height that he could not reach. At this moment, he knew that he was in a desperate situation and that the mission could no longer be completed.

Fan Xian said nothing and quickly launched another attack. The assassin tried to turn around and escape, but in front of Fan Xian, who had been promoted to the ninth rank, escape was futile.

When Fan Xian was at the eighth rank in the past, he was able to compete with a ninth rank warrior. Now his strength has reached a new level. Within a few moves, he accurately hit the assassin's neck with his palm knife, causing him to lose consciousness instantly.

After calming down the situation, Fan Xian immediately called Li Chengze.

"Your Highness, you are truly as good at predicting things. In just two days, the assassin arrived as promised."

Fan Xian said with lingering fear on his face, and was grateful to Li Chengze for providing the horse talisman that helped him recover quickly, otherwise facing such a sudden attack, the consequences would be disastrous.

"If I hadn't foreseen that Li Yunrui would take action, how could I have taken the risk to help you recover."

Li Chengze responded that he knew how difficult it was to prevent it.

At this point, Li Chengze noticed that Fan Xian's chest was covered in blood and his clothes were soaked, and he couldn't help wondering:
"I remember I helped you heal. Why is this happening?" Fan Xian explained easily:

"I thought about it again and again. Although the internal injuries can be healed, if the external injuries are repaired as well, the risks will be doubled. So after you left, I injured myself again to be on the safe side."

"Your operation was truly flawless." Upon hearing this, Li Chengze nodded in praise.

After some questioning and inference, both confirmed that this was a strategy carefully planned by Li Yunrui to lure the tiger away from the mountain and create an opportunity for the assassin.

"Now that things have come to this, it's time for us to go meet Li Yunrui." Fan Xian suggested, his tone revealing his determination and anticipation for the next move.

Fan Xian, staggering, his body covered in blood, slowly walked towards Li Yunrui's residence.

At the same time, Li Chengze decisively captured an eighth-grade master and took him out.

In Li Yunrui's bedroom, Li Yunrui was having a cordial conversation with Lin Wan'er.

Although Lin Wan'er was reluctant to leave, she realized that it was late at night, so she prepared to say goodbye, saying that she needed to go back to take care of Fan Xian who was seriously injured.

"Mother, it's getting late. I have to go back." Lin Wan'er said softly.

Although Lin Wan'er was reluctant to end this heartwarming conversation, she was fully aware of her responsibilities as a wife and needed to go back to take care of Fan Xian. "Wan'er," Li Yunrui said softly as Lin Wan'er stood up.
"It's late, why don't you stay over at my place? Fan Xian has his sister to take care of him, so he shouldn't be in any danger."

“How can this be possible?
"Lin Wan'er immediately refused, "Fan Xian needs to recuperate now. As his wife, it is my duty to take care of him. How can I leave it to others?"

Lin Wan'er suddenly felt something strange. Although she believed that her mother had deep feelings for her, Li Yunrui's behavior seemed a little unusual tonight.

She continued to ask:
"Mother, can't you really let go of the grudge between you and Fan Xian for my sake?"

Li Yunrui was silent for a moment, then he stroked Lin Wan'er's cheek, sighed, and said:
"Wan'er, it's my fault that I put you in this dilemma. If you really ask me like this, I have never done anything for you in my life."

"I promise you, from now on, I will no longer be an enemy of Fan Xian."

Grudges fade away with life and death. No matter what the outcome of tonight's assassination, it will end the entanglement between them.

"Really?" Lin Wan'er looked at Li Yunrui in surprise and asked in disbelief.

"Of course, since mother has promised you, she will not break her promise."

Li Yunrui smiled and nodded slightly, his tone full of affirmation.

"Mother, what did you do?" Lin Wan'er was not happy about this. Instead, she frowned and asked seriously.

Indeed, Li Yunrui's behavior tonight was abnormal, as if silently conveying some kind of farewell message.

Now, when her mother really agreed to reconcile with Fan Xian, Lin Wan'er's intuition told her that things were not simple.

The doubts in her heart seemed to be confirmed at this moment. If her mother could really let go of her grudge against Fan Xian, why did she have to wait until today to agree?
"You are such a smart child, you are worthy of being my daughter, Li Yunrui."

Li Yunrui looked at Lin Wan'er's reaction and a proud smile appeared on his face, as if he was satisfied with his daughter's keen insight.

"Mother, what did you do?
Tell me now! "

Lin Wan'er was not interested in her mother's praise. Her face was full of anxiety and she was eager to know the truth.

Suddenly, there was a loud noise——

Just as Li Yunrui was about to open his mouth to respond, the door of the room was suddenly hit hard and burst open, and the two door panels collapsed to the ground helplessly.

Then, Fan Xian's figure came into view. He covered his chest with one hand, his face covered in blood, and staggered into the room.

Following closely behind was Li Chengze, who subdued the assassin of rank eight or above with ease like an eagle hunting. He walked in side by side with Fan Xian, looking very imposing.

"Fan Xian! You...what happened to you?"

When Lin Wan'er saw this scene, her face turned pale, she screamed in shock, and immediately rushed forward to support the staggering Fan Xian.

However, Li Yunrui's attention was not focused on Fan Xian, but unexpectedly turned to Li Chengze.

Seeing Li Chengze dragging the burly assassin with ease, she was filled with disbelief: "You...you actually have martial arts skills?"

Indeed, the weight of an adult male is extraordinary. Without a foundation in martial arts, even moving him would be extremely difficult, let alone Li Chengze's easy posture of lifting him with one hand.

Facing Li Yunrui's surprise, Li Chengze did not respond directly, but asked in a rhetorical manner:

"My father is good at martial arts, my brother is also good at martial arts, and even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is no exception. Why can't I have this ability?"

Li Yunrui was stunned at first, then burst into laughter:
"Haha, that makes sense!
Everyone in your family is very skilled, but you all keep it a secret. This is really a distinctive family trait!
I didn't expect that you could keep me in the dark so thoroughly. Chengze, your method is really brilliant!"

If you think about it carefully, this family is full of hidden talents.
Each of them possesses a martial art unknown to the rest of the world. This tacit understanding and mystery is truly breathtaking.
