Open up and break into another world
#41 - Assassination
The capital, Yunqi City, was filled with influential families.
Every year, new families rose to prominence, while old ones declined.
Many small families with unstable foundations would choose to follow a large family, seeking protection.
A super family like the Lin family, with its years of heritage and incredibly solid foundation, was naturally the target of many small and medium-sized families.
As the Lin family's heir apparent, Lin Muqing's status in the capital was naturally extraordinary. As soon as he stepped out of the Lin family's gate, the head of a small family who had been waiting for a long time approached him.
"Young Master Qing, Young Master Qing!" The head of this small family had an extremely obsequious expression.
"You are?…" Lin Muqing arrogantly raised his head and glanced at him.
"Young Master Qing has a lot on his mind. I am Gao Bo. We had a drink together not long ago…"
"Oh—" Lin Muqing acted as if he had just remembered, "It's Family Head Gao? Is there something you need?"
"Last time we were drinking, Young Master Qing mentioned that it had been a while since he had encountered twin sisters! Although I was drunk at the time, I have always remembered Young Master's words!" Gao Bo leaned over and whispered, "I have searched everywhere and finally found a pair of twins, both fourteen years old; as for their appearance, I would like Young Master to… move to Qingyu Tower to personally assess them."
Lin Muqing's eyes lit up: "Family Head Gao is very thoughtful!"
Qingyu Tower was a famous and luxurious restaurant in the capital; most of the people who came here were young people from the upper class, the so-called second generation.
When Lin Muqing left the Lin family, it was already late; plus, Lin Muqing was eager to see what these newly acquired twins looked like, so he went straight to Qingyu Tower with Gao Bo.
As he approached Qingyu Tower, Lin Muqing suddenly frowned slightly: "This Qingyu Tower is really getting worse and worse!"
"Young Master, are you not satisfied with this place?" Gao Bo quickly said, "Then shall we change to another one?"
"Since we're here, let's just stay here!" Lin Muqing's eyes glanced with annoyance at the little beggar not far from the entrance of Qingyu Tower, "Having a beggar sitting here, Qingyu Tower doesn't even care!"
"I'll go and clear him away!"
"No need!" Lin Muqing said, "It wouldn't be good if word got out that I, the young master of the Lin family, was bullying a little beggar!"
"Young Master is benevolent!"
So, Lin Muqing suppressed the disgust in his heart and strode towards Qingyu Tower. Gao Bo followed closely behind, like a servant.
At this time, the little beggar seemed to have seen an opportunity. He straightened his small body and crawled towards Lin Muqing. He held up the bowl in his hand high, his eyes full of anticipation.
"Damn!" Lin Muqing cursed inwardly, "He's really taking an inch after getting a foot. I didn't drive him away, and he's still coming over!"
Lin Muqing was about to instruct Gao Bo to stop him when he saw Chi Xue's figure passing by on the opposite side of the road.
"Chi Xue!" Lin Muqing's spirits lifted.
In front of this junior sister whom he had been pursuing for a long time but had never been able to win over, Lin Muqing had a strong desire to show off.
Immediately, Lin Muqing straightened his back, took out a small gold nugget from his hand, and with a warm smile on his face, actually took the initiative to meet the little beggar.
The little beggar was also extremely excited when he saw the small gold nugget in Lin Muqing's hand!
When he was two or three meters away from the little beggar, Lin Muqing threw it very casually. The small gold nugget drew a beautiful arc in the air. Lin Muqing greatly appreciated this beautiful arc because he felt that this arc connected the nobility of the upper class with the inferiority of the lower class.
This made him very much enjoy this feeling of being superior to others.
"Chi Xue should see my loving and suave action, right?" Lin Muqing couldn't help but look in Chi Xue's direction, but found that Chi Xue didn't seem to have noticed his existence from beginning to end.
"Damn!"
Lin Muqing cursed inwardly.
His expression was still noble and suave, but deep in his eyes, there was an unconcealable ferocity.
Suddenly, Lin Muqing felt a sudden warning.
He saw out of the corner of his eye that the dirty and pitiful little beggar was suddenly pouncing on him with incomparable ferocity. In the little beggar's hand, there was a sharp dagger that had appeared out of nowhere.
Hiss—
The little beggar was obviously not weak in cultivation. When the sharp dagger stabbed out, the air was torn apart, making a hissing sound.
Whoosh!
Lin Muqing was so frightened that he quickly retreated.
"Ah—" The little beggar roared angrily, and actually threw the dagger directly at Lin Muqing's heart like a flying knife.
Such a big commotion naturally attracted the attention of the surrounding people. Even Chi Xue looked over curiously.
Chi Xue hadn't seen Lin Muqing at all, but now, she only saw Lin Muqing's ferocious and frightening appearance.
"Young Master, Young Master!" Gao Bo was so frightened that his legs went weak—he had brought Young Master out for fun, but Young Master was assassinated and injured; if Young Master took his anger out on him, how could the Gao family, a small family, withstand Lin Muqing's anger!
"Are you alright, Young Master?" Gao Bo asked tremblingly.
"Alright?" Lin Muqing's eyes were bloodthirsty.
He looked at his palm, wanting to see how badly he was injured, but found that his palm had turned completely black! Moreover, the black color was constantly spreading along his arm, engulfing his forearm in the blink of an eye.
"It's highly poisonous!"

Using poison was commonplace in the wilderness and the Monster Beast Mountains.
However, in cities, especially in the capital Yunqi City, using poison was a super taboo; anyone who dared to use poison would inevitably be hunted down by Yunqi Guard's dragnet—after all, there were many kinds of highly toxic poisons that could threaten the lives of martial artists below the Innate level; if poisons were allowed to be used wantonly in the capital, then where would the capital's stability come from?
Generally, there was only one situation in which poison would be used—that was, coming with the determination to die!
"Who exactly is this… this little beggar, to use poison to kill me!" Lin Muqing was sweating profusely, not knowing whether it was from pain or fear.
Immediately, Lin Muqing understood: "Someone must have put a bounty on me! This little beggar is probably a death warrior cultivated by some assassin organization!"
"Protect me back!" Lin Muqing even turned around and walked back, completely ignoring his half arm on the ground.
If an arm was broken, there were ways to grow it back; but if life was lost, it was truly dead!
The outside world was too dangerous. Lin Muqing had to go home immediately so that he could feel a little safe.
"Yes… Young Master!" Gao Bo didn't have time to worry about how Lin Muqing would deal with him afterward, but he knew that in any case, he had to send Lin Muqing back to the Lin family safely first; otherwise, he and his family would really be completely finished!
Chi Xue, who was in the distance, watched this scene unfold without any special emotional fluctuations, as if she were watching a passerby incident.
The surrounding crowd, however, exploded—Lin Muqing, the Lin family's heir apparent, was assassinated in the capital!
In a small restaurant opposite Qingyu Tower, a middle-aged man wearing a loose gray robe shook his head regretfully: "This deal is a big loss!"
He silently took a sip of wine: "I've been cultivating this death warrior for more than ten years; although I haven't spent much money on him, I've spent a lot of effort! And the Black Flame Liquid smeared on the dagger cost me three or four hundred thousand taels of gold… This two million one hundred thousand taels of gold is really not easy to earn!"
The gray-robed man swayed and got up to leave: "Forget it, forget it, business always has profits and losses!"
This was the gray-robed middle-aged man's personality. No matter what assassination mission it was, he would only do it once; if it succeeded, that would be best, and if it failed, he would just admit the loss.
…
At this time, Xu Ming had already left Yunqi City and plunged into the vast Monster Beast Mountains.
Whoosh!
Xu Ming flicked his long spear, easily picking open a clumsy low-level wild boar. The wild boar was thrown out dozens of meters, lying on the ground and roaring in pain for a long time without being able to get up.
"This is the first time I've left the capital and come to see these incomparably vast Monster Beast Mountains!" Although Xu Ming was still on the very outskirts of the Monster Beast Mountains, he had already been attacked by many low-level monsters, "Fortunately, that obsession of 'never leaving the capital' has been eliminated, otherwise, I really wouldn't be able to participate in this hunting competition!"
Xu Ming looked towards the depths of the Monster Beast Mountains.
He wasn't in a hurry to go in and find the hunting area because he felt that since he had left the city, the assassin should be following him.
"I just don't know how the assassin will locate me. So far, I haven't found anyone following me!"
