Chapter 9 Assassination

Dong Yufei nodded towards Li Muchan, turned around and walked away proudly, not feeling depressed at all about defeat, as if he had won.

Li Muchan stared at Dong Yufei's back, knowing in his heart that he didn't try his best, that he didn't use his unique skills to press on the top of the box, and he was sure to defeat him.

Mr. He stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Wonderful! Mr. Li's marksmanship is outstanding, I admire him!"

Geng Lao hummed: "How does it compare with your He family's swordsmanship?"

Mr. He smiled and shook his head: "How do you know if you don't compete? If you have a chance to compete with Mr. He, let's see. Lao Geng, we are all old!"

Geng Lao snorted: "Don't you always disobey the old man?"

Mr. He said with a smile: "When I saw Mr. Li, I realized how old he is!... Madam, let's take our leave first!"

Dong Wanyi nodded softly and said: "He Lao Geng Lao, you all go back and rest, I won't go out today!"

"Yes." Geng Lao responded, and the two nodded to Li Muchan, turned around and left.

The two of them are Dong Wanyi's bodyguards, so they are naturally not needed in the mansion. Dong's mansion is well-defended and there are hidden stakes everywhere, so outsiders cannot break in.

After they all left, Dong Wanyi said: "Master Li, the eldest brother didn't use his special skills."

Li Muchan nodded to indicate he understood.

Dong Wanyi said: "Master, what are your plans today?"

Li Muchan smiled and said: "Let's play with the flowers and plants, and then learn to read. I'll have to trouble the girl."

"I have nothing to do." Dong Wanyi stood up and waved her hand: "Chunhua, you guys go make lunch. Cook some dishes to reward the young master."

"Yes." Chunhua and the others responded and curled away.

There were only Li Muchan and Dong Wanyi at the scene, and he understood that Dong Wanyi was going to tell something secret.

"I thought about it carefully, and I can give the young master's idea a try." Dong Wanyi walked slowly towards the lake.

Li Muchan followed him on the lake corridor and arrived at the easternmost pavilion. Dong Wanyi held on to the railing and looked at the sky: "It has to be secretive."

Li Muchan smiled and said, "The girl finally figured it out."

Dong Wanyi turned around and looked at her, her bright eyes twinkling: "Young Master is absolutely right. What I did before was too stupid. I can't hold on for long."

Li Muchan smiled but said nothing.

Dong Wanyi said: "As long as I can protect Brother He's secret, I will try any method."

Li Muchan smiled and said, "It's good if the girl can figure it out."

Dong Wanyi frowned and said, "I'm afraid it's too late. Daddy has already annoyed me."

Li Muchan said: "I don't think the eldest son is angry with the girl."

Dong Wanyi smiled: "My eldest brother has doted on me since I was a child and even scolded me for this matter. He didn't really annoy me, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to stay!"

Li Muchan said: "The eldest son can just say a few nice words."

"When dad finds out, he will hate me to death." Dong Wanyi shook her head and sighed softly: "Even my eldest brother will not forgive me."

Li Muchan frowned: "This matter must be explained to the head of the family and the eldest son first."

"Huh——?" Dong Wanyi was surprised.

Li Muchan said: "At this point, the He family cannot be relied on, and we can only rely on the Dong family."

"But..." Dong Wanyi frowned.

Li Muchan said: "No matter what, the Dong family will not kill you, but the He family will kill you to silence you."

Dong Wanyi shook her head and said: "No one in the He family knows the location of the treasure."

"That's not necessarily true." Li Muchan shook his head: "Even if they don't know, they won't believe you keep your word, and they will definitely kill you to silence you."

Dong Wanyi fell silent and finally shook her head: "No..."

Li Muchan smiled and said no more.

————

In the blink of an eye, Li Muchan stayed in the Dong Mansion for ten days. Li Muchan recognized the words in one breath, and Dong Wanyi had nothing to teach her anymore. She was no longer surprised by his memory.

There are many people in the world who have a photographic memory. Although Li Muchan's talent is astonishing, it is not extraordinary. She admired and envied him, but she didn't find it unusual.

After Li Muchan finished reading, she brought two books over and wanted to go out for a walk. When Li Muchan heard about it, she wanted to follow her and see the outside world.

He opened the Eye of the Void in Dong Mansion and looked at Dongyang City. It was very lively and prosperous. He wanted to take a look around in person, and Dong Wanyi happily agreed.

Dong Wanyi was accompanied by Chunhua, Geng Lao He, and Li Muchan. The five of them left the Dong Mansion and walked out of this street. Bustling and bustling people rushed towards them.

People were coming and going on the street, and it was noisy. Li Muchan looked at the people around him. Their clothes were different from those in the previous world, and they looked strange.

He looked down at his clothes, shook his head and sighed.

Seeing his expression, Dong Wanyi smiled and said, "Mr. Li, are you homesick?"

Li Muchan sighed and nodded: "I'm not used to this place. There are too many people and it's too noisy."

Dong Wanyi pursed her lips and smiled: "It will be fine after a while."

Li Muchan shook his head, and Dong Wanyi walked in front with light steps, stopping to take a look every time he came to a stall.

Mr. Geng and Mr. He walked in tandem, looking left and right, while Li Muchan followed Dong Wanyi. She would explain everything she picked up to Li Muchan.

Li Muchan nodded and accepted the instruction. He really lacked common sense in this area. It was an eye-opener. Unknowingly, the five of them walked through four streets and arrived at a street in the south.

This street sells all kinds of delicious food, various snacks and snacks, and the various aromas are mixed together, making it even more tempting.

"Here, try this!" Dong Wanyi held a piece of polka dots and brought it to Li Muchan's mouth.

Li Muchan opened his mouth to catch it. It was soft and sweet, and it was indeed delicious.

They were standing in front of a snack stall. There were various exquisite snacks on the counter in front of them, exuding an alluring aroma.

"This is called Sanxiang Paste. Is it delicious?" Dong Wanyi pinched a piece and put it in her mouth, asking with a smile.

Li Muchan nodded, while Mr. He and Mr. Geng frowned at the side. The two were a bit too close and did not avoid suspicion at all. Outsiders would think they were lovers.

The two of them wanted to remind them but could not say anything, so they could only pretend not to see it.

Li Muchan suddenly frowned. Dong Wanyi was about to give him another snack. Seeing his expression was different, she hurriedly asked: "Isn't it delicious?"

Li Muchan shook his head: "That's not quite right."

"What's wrong?" Dong Wanyi asked.

Li Muchan looked around, shook his head and said, "It seems like someone is following us."

"He Lao, Geng Lao?" Dong Wanyi turned to look at the two of them.

The two of them were on the left and right, two feet apart from her. They were neither too close to each other but could take action in time. They shook their heads and said nothing.

Li Muchan said: "I feel like I'm being targeted by a wild beast."

Dong Wanyi chuckled and said: "Mr. He and Mr. Geng are here, it doesn't matter, let's have some snacks."

Li Muchan frowned and looked around, scanning the passing crowds one by one. This street was full of snacks and there were a lot of people coming and going. There was everyone.

Just as Dong Wanyi was about to persuade him to eat snacks, Li Muchan suddenly stepped behind her, pressed his right palm, and there was a muffled "bang" sound, and the force of his palm exploded in the air.

"Ding ding..." Two flying knives fell on the bluestone floor.

The faces of Mr. Geng and Mr. He suddenly changed. Mr. Geng took a step forward to protect Dong Wanyi, while Mr. He rushed towards the crowd, "Chichi!" Amidst the sharp roar, several cold rays of light shot at Mr. He.

People dispersed in a hurry, and in a blink of an eye there were only six people left on the street, two women, two old men and two middle-aged men. They were all wearing ordinary clothes, so it was difficult to notice them among the crowd.

He Lao waved his palm to block the flying knife and rushed to the six people. However, the six people had no intention of running away. Instead, they rushed over and immediately fought in a ball.
