Luo Ning is on the mission of safely evacuating Qiu Lan and the others from Qing Zhang Prince Palace, he secretly rejoices that he can leave Feng Ming temporarily to inform his sister.

After leaving Tong’an courtyard under the cover of night, he doesn’t rush to Qing Zhang Prince Palace first, but searching a secret alley house and summons his sister who’s hiding nearby with the agreed method.

Luo Qian Qian has obviously been waiting nearby, and soon appears as soon as she received the signal from Luo Ning. After closing the door, she immediately asks, “I saw that bitch’s son went into the Tong’an Courtyard. What’s the matter? Didn’t he know that Qing Li didn’t like him?”

“Qing Li’s hostility towards him is no longer a big deal.” Luo Ning says calmly: “After all the calculation, we missed that weird prince of Dan Lin and the special envoy Ziyan that the kid sent to He Di. The two stayed in Tong’an courtyard and actually had seen through Qing Zhang’s conspiracy early on, and they also knew that Changyi was a spy placed beside Qing Li by Qing Zhang to deal with that kid. Qing Zhang’s drugs and beauties have no effect at all up to now, and the great plan is in vain. Humph! I said earlier that although Qing Zhang seemed sophisticated, he was actually timid and greedy and couldn’t achieve any great things.”

Luo Qian Qian is only surprised that Feng Ming goes into the Tong’an Courtyard in the middle of the night, but she doesn’t even know anything about what happened in Tong’an Courtyard, her face change drastically, “How can there be such a thing? Why is it so suddenly, there is no sign beforehand at all? Qing Zhang also said the day before yesterday that Changyi sent a letter to him, Qing Li was obsessed with her again, and nothing would go wrong.”

Time is urgent, Luo Ning tells Luo Qian Qian about the most important things that happened in the Tong’an courtyard, and sighs helplessly, “Luo Yun also not letting people feel easy, we work hard for him, but he doesn’t listen to his uncle in every way.”

Luo Qian Qian’s expression darkens, “Talking about his indifference on the outside, this child is exactly the same as his father, but never expect that he’s so soft-hearted on the inside.” After sighing lowly, she turns into a cold expression for a moment, then coming up with a plan, “He will naturally know our painstaking efforts in the future. Brother, the most important thing now is to come up with a countermeasure.”

The brother and sister grew up in the strict Xiao family rules since childhood, and they were all determined people who would never retreat easily in the face of difficulties, now that the plan is suddenly broken, they are not very panicked, they all try their best to calm down and consider how to take the next step.

Luo Ning was already thinking about it when he was in the Tong’an courtyard. At the moment, he comes up with a rough idea and discusses with Luo Qian Qian: “Now we have several things we must doing immediately. First of all, we must cut off the kid’s external support……”

“Rong Tian is a hundred times more difficult than that bitch’s son, if he gets the news and rushes back, I’m afraid we won’t have the chance to start.” Luo Qian Qian understands immediately, “I will send the message to send someone to intercept the guard who sent the message to Rong Tian. He just left, he must not have gone far enough to avoid my subordinate’s hunt-down order.”

Luo Ning says, “about Qing Zhang, let me report the news over there, anyway I was assigned by that kid to pick up the group of girls, no one would expected I drop here by the way.” He smiles coldly.

“Things are not yet clear, Qing Zhang may have other uses, when brother sees him, it is better to be polite to him.” Luo Qian Qian suddenly says, “By the way, there is one more thing, please brother remind Qing Zhang.”

“What is it?”

“Qing Zhang promised me that he would help me kill the lowly maid who seduce Yun Er.”

Luo Ning frowns and says, “All this while you still entangle in these little things, Qiu Yue is a maid who doesn’t know martial arts, is it still not easy to kill her? Why should there be trouble at this time?”

“No! It must be tonight! She is an important maid next to that person and usually guarded by the bodyguard, the chaos is approaching tonight, it just so happen to take advantage of Qing Zhang’s hand to get rid of her during the chaos, if Yun Er made a noise in the future, we could just push over Qing Zhang’s head. If you missed the opportunity, I’m afraid it wouldn’t be easy to do it in the future.”

Luo Ning can’t help but saying, “Qiu Yue is just an ordinary woman, why do you hate her so much?”

Luo Qian Qian’s eyebrows twitch in disgust, and grits her teeth: “As soon as I saw her bewildering Yun Er with her pretentious face, it was exactly the same as when that woman Yaoye seducing Xiao Lang. Yun Er doesn’t listen to me, she probably instigated him, otherwise, why would he plead for that bitch’s son? Big brother, will you help me or not?” She looks up and stares at Luo Ning with her dark eyes.

Luo Ning has an arrogant personality, but he loves this only sister very much. Seeing her stubbornly stares at himself, not only he doesn’t mind, but he seems to see the impression of the young Luo Qian Qian, her noble-self made her indifferent and sarcastic, whenever she couldn’t get what she wanted, she would stare at him with this kind of eyes, and she’d ask him “Big Brother, will you helping me or not?”

How many times, he was inexplicably suddenly softened and defeated under this black pupil, no matter how unreasonable the request was, he was willing to do it for her.

Luo Ning softly sighs, showing pitiful eyes that outsiders has never seen before, and nods “Since you have decided, I won’t stop it anymore. But, Qian Qian, You have to promise me that from now on, you will leave Tongze immediately.”

“No! I want to see with my own eyes that bitch’s son is chopped into pieces…”

“No way!” Luo Ning’s face sink, posing as an older brother, staring at his younger sister and says, “If it is as you wish, when the kid died in Tongze, it’s impossible for the old master not to ask after the news spreads. If The old master knew that you were in Tongze city that night, how could he not suspicious of you?”

“Brother, I can…”

Luo Ning shouts out, “If the old master suspicious towards you, aren’t you afraid it will involve Yun Er’s position in the old master’s mind? Aren’t you planning all this for the sake of Yun Er?”

Luo Qian Qian’s body tremble slightly, her face constantly change, after several attempts to open her mouth, she finally holds back, lowers her head and whispers, “Okay, I promise you.”

Luo Ning says solemnly: “Don’t worry, big brother is here for everything. It will not be good for you to stay, just wait for my news by the Aman Riverside. Time is running out, I will go to see Qing Zhang immediately, if i put it off any longer, I’m afraid it will arouse that kid’s alertness.” He says to Luo Qian Qian and strides towards the wooden door.

“Big brother!” Luo Qian Qian stops him from behind, waits for him to turn his face back before raising her thick eyelashes faintly and stares at Luo Ning, she whispers: “Big brother, you must take care.”

The corners of Luo Ning’s robust lips are bent upwards and an almost invisible smile appear. Without a word, he turns and strides away.

Luo Qian Qian watches him leave and stands still for a while, feeling very lonely.

But she is not a weakly self-pity person, after a few breaths, she has regained her indifferent and calm look and leaves the small wooden house which serve as a secret base.

She is in charge of the Xiao Family Intel Network, which is actually very powerful, most of the information delivery of the Xiao Family Killer Group, including the killing order, must be issued through her.

The Xiao family intel network is spread all over the country, which is comparable to or even worse than the intel network used by the royal families of various countries, of course, there are contact codes and methods agreed upon by each other in Tongze that only their own people can understand.

As if the heaven also knew that there’s big bad thing, tonight happen to be no light of stars and moons, which is suitable night for assassinating, and it’s very convenient for the Xiao family to work.

Luo Qian Qian walks through the dark alleys of Tongze, suddenly like a phantom, she creeps silently into a tavern, goes up to the second floor, takes out a special candle to light it, places it by the window, and draws a several marks on the window paper using ink.

The candlelight close to the window paper, suddenly the several mark on the window paper are printed particularly conspicuous, and it’s even more clearer to be seen from the outside. In such a dark night, the dedicated person would be able to see it from the distance.

Of course, if it’s not the Xiao family member, it’s impossible to know what information is contained in these simple symbols, at most they will think some naughty child stay up in the middle of the night and doodles randomly.

Luo Qian Qian issues the order to hunt down the guard Zhang Huai, and there’s nothing to do in Tongze.

She had agreed to Luo Ning’s request to leave Tongze, and knew in her heart that Luo Ning, her big brother, was really thinking about her. When the matter was done, without hesitation she immediately leaves the tavern and set off for the city gate.

The city gate is closed at night, but it can’t stop people like her, at the foot of the city wall, Luo Qian Qian takes out the hook and long rope in her arms and is about to throw it to a higher place. Suddenly, she felt that there’s an abnormal movement behind her.

Luo Qian Qian is secretly shocked, with her skill, there’s someone who can follow her unnoticed. At such a time, she doesn’t have time to think about it, she quickly reacts by instinct, Luo Qian Qian’s long sword is out of its sheath, she turns around and the corner of her eye catch a glimpse of a figure, without even looking at it she pierces the black shadow with the sword. 

But she sees a flash of light in the darkness, and the fierce sword is forcibly blocked, what’s even more bizarre is that the two swords collide, and don’t know what terrible tactics the opponent is using, with such a strong force, there’s no sound of metal attack at all.

Luo Qian Qian’s hand is in severe pain and she almost let go of the long sword, she breaks out in a cold sweat, and roars in low voice, “Who are you?”

The man has a graceful temper, he’s not answering but asking instead, “What kind of a great person that makes you work hard and not hesitate to issue a killing order in the middle of the night?”

His voice is sweet and low, the volume is not high, but it’s full of distance and deep strength, as if he is methodically arranged all the times, while asking questions slowly, he takes a leisurely step and moves out of the dark corner, so that Luo Qian Qian can see the outline of his face with the help of dim starlight.

Actually there is no need to look at the outline of his face.

As soon as he spoke, Luo Qian Qian’s body was trembling violently that she could hardly hold the long sword firmly, she takes two steps back and leans her back against the thick city wall to barely support her body.

Her face is as white as snow and she bites her lower lip hard, don’t know how long it takes before she smiles bitterly and whispers, “Xiao Lang, didn’t you say that you will never see me again in this life? Very good, you… You finally… haven’t forgotten me.”

She suddenly abandons her sword, throws herself forward, and squeezes herself hardly into the embrace of the indifferent man in front of her, like crying and laughing, she closes her eyes and murmurs, “This is not a dream, it’s not a dream…”
