Chapter 317: Chapter 313 Assassin Appears
Chapter 317 -313 Assassin Appears
Fang Xiaocao hid in an abandoned factory, squatting beside her was Hummingbird. As for Tom and Taotie, Fang Xiaocao had no idea where the two had gone; she couldn’t find a trace of them at all.
Fang Xiaocao stared at the time on her cell phone.
13:59!
As seconds ticked by.
The time on the phone screen changed accordingly.
14:00!
Finally, it was 14:00!
Fang Xiaocao suddenly became a bit nervous.
Her eyes constantly swept outside.
She was looking for Ye Lingchen and Qian Xia.
Hot Noodles had said that at exactly 14:00, the pursued Qian Xia would bring Ye Lingchen into this abandoned steel factory workshop.
It was also here that Qian Xia and Ye Lingchen both met their demise. The Ye Family searched for two months and, only after issuing rewards through various channels, did a vagrant, hoping to give it a try, enter the Ye Family’s Tang City branch, which was established in the search for Ye Lingchen.
The vagrant reported that he had once found two bodies in the South City Scrap Steel Factory and had taken some valuable items from the bodies but never reported it for fear of having to return the items.
Only when he saw the reward from the Ye Family did the vagrant overcome the temptation and walked into the company.
By the way, he took out an empty wallet that he had lifted from one of the bodies.
Upon identification, the wallet was confirmed to be Ye Lingchen’s!
It was then that the deaths of Ye Lingchen and Qian Xia were confirmed, and their bodies were taken back by the Ye Family for burial.
As Fang Xiaocao was recalling the latest message from Hot Noodles that she’d received in the car, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the abandoned steel factory.
The footsteps were very frantic!
Clearly, someone was in a rush to escape.
Hearing the footsteps, Fang Xiaocao’s eyes lit up.
She followed the sound with her gaze.
Indeed!
The people arriving were Qian Xia and Ye Lingchen, whom she had been waiting for.
Seeing the people she was expecting, however, Fang Xiaocao did not rush out to rescue them because she had yet to see who wanted to kill Ye Lingchen.
Fang Xiaocao had planned it all along.
Without seeing the hare, she wouldn’t release the falcon; she wouldn’t let Tom and the others take action until the assassin appeared.
Between adding flowers to brocade and sending charcoal in snowy weather, Fang Xiaocao would definitely choose the latter.
It was for the sake of her own interests.
For safety considerations, she had to wait for the assassin to appear. With the mantis stalking the cicada and the oriole behind, whoever came out first would be the mantis, and the last one to appear would be the oriole.
“Huff, huff, huff…”
“Qian Xia, let’s rest for a while…”
“I can’t run anymore…”
After running into the factory, Ye Lingchen grabbed Qian Xia’s sleeve and said, panting heavily.
He really couldn’t run anymore; his lungs were about to burst.
His legs were as soft as noodles.
Seeing Ye Lingchen’s exhausted state, Qian Xia shook his head helplessly. If it weren’t for Ye Lingchen’s lack of physical strength, he wouldn’t have risked entering this broken factory.

It was all too easy to be caught like fish in a barrel by an assassin.
“The young master is tired, let’s rest for a while,” said Qian Xia, as he took off his jacket and spread it on the ground.
Ye Lingchen collapsed onto it without any pretense.
Qian Xia adjusted his breathing while standing guard.
His sharp eyes were constantly vigilant, watching the slightest movement in the surroundings to prevent a sneak attack.
As a bodyguard chosen specially by the Ye Family to protect the Crown Prince, Qian Xia was considered a first-class expert.
But at best, he was just a first-class expert.
On the same level as Wan Xiaozhou and Hummingbird.
Far from reaching the level of Taotie.
The assassin pursuing them, forcing him to flee with Ye Lingchen, must have far surpassed Qian Xia, giving him no confidence to face them in combat, only the option to run.
A minute later!
“Found you~”
A narrow, narrow, full of green tea breath and affected voice suddenly rang out in the factory. Qian Xia instantly reacted, pulling Ye Lingchen up from the ground and behind him, while with a flick of his wrist, a shiny Flying Dagger “whooshed” through the air, heading straight for the factory entrance.
Fang Xiaocao followed the trajectory of the Flying Dagger.
She saw a sharp-faced monkey-cheeked figure with a curvy figure, sporting long flowing hair…
A man?
Shit?
Such a good body, it’s actually a man?
Fang Xiaocao was stunned.
Could this be the legendary Yaoyao?
Why was Fang Xiaocao certain the other person was a man?
Because damn it, there was an Adam’s apple!
Fang Xiaocao thought the assassin could be male or female, but she never imagined that the assassin who killed the Ye Family’s Crown Prince and then vanished without a trace would turn out to be a gender-ambiguous Yaoyao!
Yaoyao flicked his elegant hair, and “whoosh”, a steel needle shot out from between the strands.
Ding—
Sparks flew in the air.
The steel needle actually hit the flying dagger squarely.
The flying dagger was knocked by the needle and instantly fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Fang Xiaocao was shocked and her mouth hung open in disbelief.
As for how formidable Qian Xia’s flying dagger was, Fang Xiaocao, being his half-disciple, knew best.
But even such a formidable flying dagger
was unexpectedly knocked down by a steel needle casually shot out by a flick of Yaoyao’s hair.
Not to mention Fang Xiaocao being scared,
even Qian Xia, as the person involved, was taken aback.
“Who exactly are you?”
“Why do you insist on killing our young master?”
Qian Xia furrowed his brows and asked in a deep voice.
“Me?”
“I’m called ‘I Want Your Life Three Thousand’—”
“Handsome uncle, want to date?”
As he spoke, Yaoyao, who claimed to be ‘I Want Your Life Three Thousand’, threw a flirtatious glance at Qian Xia.
The lethality of this flirtatious glance was enormous, even more nauseating than Taotie acting coquettishly.
Not just Qian Xia felt sick, even Fang Xiaocao, who was hiding and watching from behind, almost threw up.
“So disgusting…”
Fang Xiaocao covered her mouth.
“Princess Your Highness, I know him!”
Suddenly, Taotie’s voice came through the earpiece.
Fang Xiaocao was taken aback and pressed the earpiece.
“You know him?”
“What’s his background?”
Fang Xiaocao’s eyes burned with the fierce fire of gossip and she hurriedly asked.
“I know!”
Taotie replied.
“‘I Want Your Life Three Thousand’ is just a fake code name he uses when teasing his prey. In the Assassin World, he is known by the code name Ying Huo, and he is a very active First-Class Assassin from Shu State.”
“Though he’s called first-class, his skills are not weaker than a typical top assassin. Rumored to be a Tang Sect outcast, he especially excels in using poison and hidden weapons. Because he loves male beauty—particularly our third brother—he’s mockingly referred to as ‘Sister-in-law’…”
Taotie quietly shared the information he had about Yaoyao’s identity with Fang Xiaocao.
Fang Xiaocao was dumbfounded by Taotie’s words.
“He loves male beauty?”
“He loves our third brother the most?”
“Sister-in-law?”
Fang Xiaocao felt her ears were unclean.
Fang Xiaocao took a deep breath, “Can you send this old ‘sister-in-law’ to the Netherworld?”
Taotie’s words were too mysterious.
What Tang Sect outcast…
Most skilled with hidden weapons and using poison…
Skills comparable to a top assassin?
“Don’t worry, Your Highness the Princess. With Tom and I working together, we’ll make sure he kneels down and sings ‘Conquest’.”
A confident voice came from Taotie through the earpiece.
