Dragon's Origin

What kind of cooperation would make the Xia family disregard the fact that A'Qi was originally a gift they gave to Wang Sheng and is now Wang Sheng's woman, and then attack A'Qi?

Of course, they chose to do it in the Endless Land, wanting to kill A'Qi without anyone knowing, but since they failed, they should be prepared for Wang Sheng to find out. But for so long, the Xia family hasn't said a word about it.

"Send someone to the Xia family and demand an explanation for their assassination attempt on my concubine!" Wang Sheng's voice commanded towards the door.

A'Qi didn't see anyone, but she heard someone outside respond, and then heard footsteps leaving.

If it were A'Qi's personal grievance, Wang Sheng would naturally let A'Qi choose, either to solve it herself or for Wang Sheng to help. But since Baoqing Yu Tang is involved, it's no longer a personal matter, and Wang Sheng directly took over.

Perhaps A'Qi had never seen Wang Sheng like this before, and she was stunned for a moment. It had only been a few months since she last saw him, and that barbarian who had been chased to the point of having no way to go to heaven or earth and could only escape into Worry-Free City had suddenly become such a big figure who could decide the life and death of many people with a single word.

Especially Wang Sheng's words, demanding that the Xia family give an explanation for the assassination of Wang Sheng's concubine, were so domineering and unparalleled that A'Qi couldn't help but be infatuated. As a former assassin, she would instinctively be fascinated by such a powerful figure who could make his words law, and now that it involved her, it made her heart flutter.

Instead of asking for proof of anything, he domineeringly demanded that they give an explanation. This is the true demeanor of a man, and A'Qi suddenly realized that she was becoming less and less resentful of Wang Sheng.

"Prepare yourself and wait for them to come to explain!" Wang Sheng said to A'Qi, then clapped his hands.

Two seemingly beautiful and gentle maids walked in from outside the door and helped Wang Sheng put on his clothes. The maids' every move exuded an invisible aura of a well-bred young lady, which made A'Qi feel a little awkward just watching from the side.

The two little maids that Wang Sheng left in Worry-Free City back then didn't have such demeanor and poise. Suddenly, A'Qi seemed to have really become a country girl who had come to the city and found everything fresh and a little inferior.

"Don't lower your head!" Wang Sheng put on his clothes, saw A'Qi's lowered head, couldn't help but find it a little funny, walked up to A'Qi, reached out and pinched A'Qi's pointed chin, and raised her pretty face: "Raise your head, where did the fearless female assassin go? Don't forget, when you exude a murderous aura, that's when you're most charming."

Wang Sheng wasn't comforting A'Qi, but genuinely thought so. A man who works seriously is most attractive in the eyes of a woman, and the same is true for a woman who works seriously in the eyes of a man. A'Qi's job is an assassin, so when she exudes a murderous aura, it's also the moment when she's working most seriously.

"Come with me!" Wang Sheng asked A'Qi to follow him, and said as he walked, "Later, let Mei'er and Qiangwei pick out a suitable outfit for you, and you can instantly become a charming and beautiful woman."

A'Qi didn't know what was wrong with her. In the past, her resentment towards Wang Sheng was greater than her affection, even when Wang Sheng held her to sleep. But Wang Sheng's words of seeking justice for her almost made her defenses collapse, which was truly wonderful.

Following Wang Sheng, they arrived at the guest hall. Wang Sheng and A'Qi sat in the guest hall, sipping tea and waiting slowly.

"What are we waiting for?" A'Qi took a sip and then asked Wang Sheng in confusion.

"Waiting for the Xia family." Wang Sheng looked up and replied with a smile, "The Third Elder of the Xia family happens to be in the capital, waiting for him to come over and explain why the Xia family wants to assassinate you, and also help you ask for some compensation."

A'Qi's eyes widened. That was the Third Elder of the Xia family. A'Qi had heard of the Third Elder's reputation when she was still in the Xia family. Wang Sheng could just say a word and have the Third Elder of the Xia family personally come to the Duke's mansion to explain?

If Wang Sheng wasn't dressed neatly and waiting in the guest hall, not looking like he was joking at all, A'Qi might have really thought Wang Sheng was bluffing and joking with her. If it wasn't a joke, why would the Third Elder of the Xia family be summoned by Wang Sheng at will?

Just when A'Qi couldn't believe it herself and didn't know how to persuade Wang Sheng, Steward Wang had already rushed in from outside, bowed to Wang Sheng as soon as he entered the door, and reported, "Duke, the Xia family is here!"

How is that possible? Hearing Steward Wang's words, A'Qi's first reaction was that it was impossible. But she couldn't figure out what meaning there was in Steward Wang cooperating with Wang Sheng to tell this lie, so this matter must not be to deceive her. Then that means that the Xia family has really arrived?

"Please come in!" Wang Sheng politely asked Steward Wang to invite the person in. A'Qi looked at Wang Sheng, looked at Steward Wang, and finally resisted saying anything.

After a while, a person followed Steward Wang into the guest hall. Only at this time did Wang Sheng stand up to greet him, and the two exchanged pleasantries.

A'Qi saw clearly that the person who came in was indeed the Third Elder whom she had seen a few times from afar when she was in the Xia family.

But at that time, she was just a mere assassin, and the Third Elder was high above, not even looking at her. But at this moment, as soon as the Third Elder entered the door, after exchanging pleasantries with Wang Sheng, he immediately cupped his hands towards A'Qi: "Madam, you have been frightened. I have already sent the message back. As soon as we find out who did it, we will immediately send their heads to Madam. Please calm your anger."

His attitude was very correct, and his words were beautiful, making it impossible to find fault.

"A'Qi, give the Xia Elder the things from those who assassinated you." Wang Sheng was very satisfied with the Third Elder's attitude, so he didn't make things difficult for him, and directly asked A'Qi to take out the things from those assassins. He knew that A'Qi would definitely keep some key evidence.

After looking at Wang Sheng, A'Qi quickly took out some things from her storage ring and placed them on the table in front of the Third Elder one by one. The Third Elder didn't have any special expression as he looked at them one by one, but when he saw one of them, even the composed Third Elder's expression changed.

"The Xia Elder had better ask his family to investigate what the reason is." Wang Sheng watched the Third Elder put away the things without showing any emotion, and then slowly said, "A'Qi was originally a member of the Xia family, and I believe she shouldn't have any deep hatred with the Xia family. If it was an assassination without any reason, then it would be too strange."
