Chapter 25: Assassins

Yunjing's words, An Xuetang breathed a sigh of relief. She smiled back and then crouched down to stroke Dazǐ's head, softly whispering in its ear, "Good girl, go rest now."Although Da Zi felt a littl...After hearing Yang Xiao's description, Yang Xingming frowned.

"Mother, could it be that someone's drastic change in personality is because some unclean thing has possessed her"

Yang Xingming thought about it more and more, feeling that this was possible. He hadn't seen An Xue Tang in such a short time, yet her personality had changed so dramatically.

Therefore, he had to suspect that the current An Xuetang was a different person inside.

Lin thought for a moment, "Son, why are you suddenly concerned about An Xue Tang Your mother has told you that you will be an official in the future, don't get involved with women like her from the countryside."

Yang Xiao immediately looked alert, "Brother, did that bitch An Xue Tang come to seduce you"

Lin's face also changed, as if she would tear An Xuetang apart just because Yang Xingming said so.

Yang Xingming shook his head irritably, "No, I'm not going to get married right away. Our family doesn't have enough money, so I went to her to borrow some."

Lin's spirits immediately lifted, her eyes gleaming. "How much silver did she give you this time"

Yang Xiao also stared at Yang Xingming with anticipation.

Yang Xingming shook his head. "She didn't give me a penny."

"How could this be" exclaimed Mrs. Lin, "That wicked woman wouldn't possibly refuse you money! In the past, as long as you said a few words to her, she would readily give you all the silver she had. How could she not give it to you this time"

Yang Xiao also frowned, "Brother, is she still blaming you for not helping her solve her marriage"

Yang Xingming thought for a moment, "Perhaps."

When An Xue Tang learned that she would be sold to the wastrel who lived at the foot of the mountain by the Wang family, she later sought him out.

But he couldn't possibly marry her, so he always hid whenever she came.

It seems that An Xue Tang might be blaming him.

But now he's more concerned about whether An Xue Tang has been possessed by something.

After all, he still remembered clearly the murderous glint in her eyes just now. The moment she grabbed his throat, he had a feeling that she would kill him.

"Mother, I suspect An Xue Tang has been possessed. If we let her continue like this, I fear I'll never get a single copper coin from her again."

When it comes to money, even the Lin family is getting worried. "What are we going to do"

Yang frowned, "Perhaps we should go find the village head"

Yang Ximing shook his head. "Li Zheng wouldn't care about these things, and we don't have any evidence. If we go to him without it, we might leave a bad impression."

"My son is right." Mrs. Lin turned in place a couple of times, "This way, we do it privately ourselves. I hear that if you splash dog blood on someone, no matter what demons or ghosts possess them, it will force her to reveal her true form."

Yang Xiao nodded in agreement, "Mother, I know someone who can help us. I'll go find her."

"Fine, we have to solve this quickly, or that bitch will keep refusing to give my son money!"

Yang Ximing saw that the two women had already begun to make plans, so he quietly returned to his room.

Anyway, he's only responsible for strategizing. A man like him, who considers himself above others, would never get his hands dirty with such matters.

After An Xuetang went up the mountain, Mo Yunjing tried to pinch his own legs, but there was still no feeling.

He looked at the snakes in the corner, and they seemed to sense him as they suddenly raised their heads to look at him.

Then he reached out his hand toward one of the small snakes, and after a moment's hesitation, it slowly slithered over.

It crawled up his leg, slowly climbing onto his large palm.

Mo Yunjing was a little shocked. He smirked, and slowly stroked its head with his other hand.

The little snake seemed to be enjoying itself, its whole body limp and sprawled in his palm.

Mo Yunjing pursed his lips and whispered, "What did she do to you"

For some reason, the phrase "I'm a snake spirit" popped into his head out of the blue. He found himself momentarily believing it.

Having lived for over twenty years, this was the first time he had ever seen someone train a snake to be so obedient.

The little green snake opened its eyes to look at Mo Yunjing, then lay down again, rubbing its head against his palm.

Mo Yunjing chuckled, a hint of doting he hadn't even noticed himself, "You look so lazy, just like her when she first wakes up."

One person and one snake were playing, suddenly the little snake made an attacking pose, its eyes fixed on the gate of the courtyard.

Mò Yúnjǐng's eyes darkened as well. He narrowed his eyes and reached out to pick up a stone from the side.

He heard someone approaching, but the snake's reaction surprised him.

At this moment, not only was the small snake in his hand alert, but also the snakes in the corner were watching the gate of the yard warily.

The next second, three snakes jumped out of the wall suddenly.

"Ah!" A scream suddenly rang out from outside the courtyard.

Three snakes jumped back at the same time.

Then, three people burst in.

All three covered their blood-shot eyes.

Seeing this, Mo Yunjing looked at the three snakes with a profound and meaningful gaze.

It seems that the three people's eyes are their latest creations.

Three people in night clothes saw Mo Yunjing and immediately raised their swords and rushed over.

Before Mo Yunjing could make a move, the snakes in the courtyard surged forward and began attacking the three of them.

When the three men's swords were about to strike the green snake, Mo Yunjing shot out a stone with his hand, knocking down their swords.

The three men without swords were no match for the Green Snake.

Dozens of green snakes blinded the three men's eyes and bit them several times on their necks.

Three people wanted to run, but Mo Yun Jing narrowed his eyes and threw three stones. They knelt directly at the door.

"Who sent you"

The three men remained silent. Seeing that the mission had failed, they bit down on the poison in their mouths and died instantly.

Mo Yunjing's eyes grew cold. His whereabouts had finally been discovered.

The bodies of the three lay sprawled at the entrance to the courtyard, the cobras having retreated back to their corner.

They were more or less injured.

Mò Yúnjǐng wanted to dispose of the corpses, but his body couldn't possibly drag them away to be buried.

An Xuetang finally returned an hour later. She saw a person lying at the entrance of the courtyard from afar, her face changed, and she hurried back.

"Ah, Jing!"

Before she even entered the yard, she couldn't help but call out to him.

Mo Yunjing was staring at the door and as soon as she came in, he quickly gave her a smile. "Tangtang don't worry, I'm fine."

An Xuetang glanced at the corpse that had already stiffened on the ground, then walked around them to Mo Yunjing's side. Seeing bloodstains in front of him, her brows furrowed as she crouched down before him, "Ah Jing, where are you hurt"

Mo Yunjing followed her gaze downward. Seeing the bloodstains, he knew she had misunderstood.

“This isn't my blood.”, Mo Yunjing pointed to the snakes in the corner. “They were injured, so I simply bandaged their wounds.”

"Are you really okay"

"It's really okay."

"That's good," An Xuetang sighed in relief, "But who are these people..."

"Unknown, these are death squads. Upon mission failure, there is only the path of death."

After saying that, Mo Yunjing looked at An Xuetang with a hint of guilt, "However... these corpses are probably going to have to be dealt with by Tangtang."s decided to stay, how could he possibly leave He also shook his head, "Young Master, please don't worry about me. My previous words always count. This life, wherever the Young Master goes, I will be...
