Abandoned daughter reborn, legitimate son is resourceful

"Boss, the assassination failed. What should we do next?"

The masked woman in the lead frowned slightly and thought to herself, "We three sisters are well-known assassins in the martial arts world, but now we have fallen into the hands of a little kid. If this gets out, won't people laugh at us?"

"Don't worry, there's no need to panic! Anyway, they've paid the deposit, so just get the money first. As for this deal, forget it if it doesn't work out."

While comforting her companion, the woman rolled her eyes slyly, as if she was planning something bad.

At this moment, the three of them were unaware that there was someone chasing them closely, and that was Yan Boxi.

"But... our employer this time is from the Shangguan family! They are extremely powerful in Xuecheng and their word is final. If we just stand them up, it would be inappropriate, right?"

Another woman said worriedly.

"What are you afraid of? As long as we don't give him up, who would know that he was the one who ordered it?"

The woman waved her hand nonchalantly with a sly smile on her face.

However, she didn't know that her wishful thinking was about to fail...

The woman raised her chin proudly, secretly delighted in her heart: "This deposit is quite a lot, enough for the sisters to enjoy themselves for a while!"

However, just as she was feeling complacent, she suddenly felt a chill passing before her eyes.

Before she could react to what was happening, she heard a soft "puff" sound, followed by a sharp pain.

She subconsciously touched her neck, but felt warm blood.

She opened her eyes wide in horror, looked at her hand in disbelief, then slowly lowered her head - only to see that there was a deep bloody cut on her neck, and blood was constantly gushing out.

In an instant, the woman's body lost its support and fell to the ground like a puppet with its strings cut.

"Who?"

The remaining two people were horrified and shouted in unison.

Before he finished speaking, a figure appeared in front of them like a ghost.

The person who came was Yan Boxi. His eyes were cold and sharp, as if they could penetrate people's hearts.

"Do you think you can get away?"

Yan Boxi said coldly, his voice revealing endless majesty and murderous intent.

One of them asked in a trembling voice: "You...are you the one sent by Feng Jun?"

Yan Boxi did not answer. When he caught up with them, he took out a silk scarf and covered his face.

He did this not because he was afraid of being recognized by the other party, but because he was worried that if anyone escaped, they would tip off Shangguan Yilin.

"Fengjun..."

Hearing this name, Yan Boxi's anger instantly rose.

He had long guessed that Shangguan Yilin was the mastermind behind the assassination, but now that it was confirmed, his anger became even stronger.

Now that the mastermind behind the incident has been identified, Yan Boxi will naturally not show mercy.

He raised the blade in his hand without hesitation, and with a single swipe, he ended the lives of the remaining two people cleanly and neatly.

Yan Boxi looked at the three corpses on the ground, a trace of contempt flashing in his eyes.

He turned and walked away, disappearing into the woods.

At the same time, in the palace, Shangguan Yilin was anxiously waiting for news.

When he learned that all the assassins he sent were killed, he was shocked.

"How could this happen? Did I underestimate Chu Xiaoran? Are there other masters protecting him?" Shangguan Yilin said to himself.

He decided to visit the Princess's Mansion in person to test the people around Chu Xiaoran.
