Chapter 576: I Have Suffered a Great Loss

"My lord, what are you saying? How come I don't understand?"

"You don't understand? You understand better than anyone. You are no wastrel; at least in your own eyes, you are no wastrel. You have simply been hiding your light, keeping your edge unknown to outsiders."

"For all these years you have been suppressing yourself, yet you have always been thinking of the day when the dust would settle and your brilliance could shine upon the world!"

Through the memories of the person before him, he knew that he had been clever since childhood, and his natural talent was even better. Yet, such talent brought him a death warrant, nearly costing him his life right here.

Gradually, Mu Ping'an understood that being too sharp was not a good thing, so he learned to hide his light, to conceal his edge.

However, hiding one's light is a skill, and ordinary people cannot grasp it.

It is evident that the old man in his family must have doted on him, unwilling to let him suffer, and he himself lacked the necessary temperament.

In such an environment, of all things to learn, he learned to hide his light; now it appears to have rusted over.

At first glance, Mu Ping'an seems clever and calculating, but in reality, he is merely being clever at the expense of his own interests.

It is obvious he has never experienced the harsh beatings of society; without experience, there is no wisdom, and without wisdom, he appears clumsy.

It seems the old man in his family truly doted on him; he never even thought about tempering him in ordinary times.

You must know, even when hiding one's light, one must sharpen it from time to time, otherwise, one will truly become a wastrel like this one.

"Lord Shen, very well, it is I who underestimated the people of this world!"

Taking a deep breath, Mu Ping'an shook his head with some bitterness; it was he who had underestimated the people of the world and overestimated himself.

It was he who was too self-righteous. Although he tried his best to be perfect, his performance still appeared slightly rough, and in the eyes of others, it was full of flaws.

Shen Yu was right; he really is a failure!

"Wealth and honor are sought in danger, but unfortunately, I failed. However, all of this was my own doing; it has nothing to do with my father, and nothing to do with the Muyan Flower!"

"Nothing to do with them? You assassinated me, and you're here telling me it has nothing to do with them?"

"Are you truly stupid or just pretending? Why don't you understand? Their target was never you, but your father, and the Muyan Flower behind your father!"

"The moment you accepted this mission, your father had already entered the game, and the entire Muyan Flower had entered the game!"

"This!" In this instant, Shen Yu's words pierced his chest like a sharp blade, as if they had suddenly activated his not-so-clever brain.

Whether it was their Muyan Flower assassinating Shen Yu, or Shen Yu killing him in return, the relationship between Shen Yu and the Muyan Flower, and between him and his father, was already one of life and death.

He was never the target; his father was.

They hoped for the Muyan Flower to clash with Shen Yu, hoped for his father to clash with Shen Yu.

The World's Number One Assassin organization going to assassinate someone vaguely known as the world's number one expert, while those who orchestrated this could sit back and watch the tigers fight.

What a fine strategy of driving tigers to devour wolves; it is pitiful that he was actually used as a Chess Piece!

No, how could he be led by the nose so easily? It was the Soul Bewitching Technique. Damn it, these people are so ruthless!

Having figured everything out, Mu Ping'an hurriedly said, "Lord Shen, perhaps we can ease the tension; there is no need for us to reach such a life-or-death point!"

"No need. The moment you decided to scheme against me, there was no room for easing the tension. Do you think I, Shen Yu, can no longer lift my blade?"

"I will use the blood of the Muyan Flower to let everyone know that I am not someone who can be schemed against!"

"The Muyan Flower shall henceforth become history!"

"Madman! You want to use our Muyan Flower to kill the chicken to warn the monkeys? Have you thought this through?"

From the moment they met, Shen Yu's impression on him was that of someone clever and unfathomable. Only at this moment did Mu Ping'an see the other side of Shen Yu's madness and pride.

He actually wanted to use the Muyan Flower to kill the chicken to warn the monkeys, as a warning to the world.

Whether the Muyan Flower and he, the young master, were schemed against and thus attacked him, none of that matters anymore.

Shen Yu wants to tell others that whoever dares to reach out their claws, he doesn't care if they did it intentionally or unintentionally, if they were schemed against or came to stir up trouble; they will all be chopped off.

What a resolute temperament; his reputation is truly well-deserved. He suddenly realized that Shen Yu's current fame seems to have been carved out by killing!

"Lord Shen, the Muyan Flower is the World's Number One Assassin organization. The fact that we have been able to exist until now speaks for itself. My lord, do you really want to fight us to the death?"

"I know, you Muyan Flower members must be hiding in the shadows and are not easy to find, but for the World's Number One Assassin organization to have a young master like you, you are destined to perish!"

"You!" In this instant, Mu Ping'an seemed to think of something, and his face turned deathly pale.

Shen Yu has the ability to see through people's thoughts; does that not mean he knows everything in his mind regarding the Muyan Flower?

This time, he has truly harmed the Muyan Flower and his father!

When an assassin organization hidden in the shadows is brought into the light, its so-called deterrent power is reduced by more than half.

The so-called World's Number One Assassin organization is likely not as intimidating as those top sects and prestigious clans!

If those rumors about Shen Yu are true, then their Muyan Flower is likely not even worth mentioning before this person, without even a chance to resist.

"Lord Shen, we can choose to submit. From now on, the Muyan Flower is willing to serve you. In this way, you also preserve your face, and it is even more intimidating than killing!"

"I said, no need!"

"My lord, my lo..."

"Truly noisy!" Standing there without any movement, not even glancing at Mu Ping'an, the latter fell to the ground, not even having time to struggle.

Fast, too fast. This was, after all, a Grandmaster, and just like that, he was gone!

But before the remaining people could begin to panic, their vision turned completely pitch black, and they instantly lost all consciousness.

Even Shui Hanzhi, who had turned to flee, did not escape the fate of being killed in one move, falling from mid-air in an instant.

After finishing all this, Shen Yu did not even look back and prepared to leave.

"Liang Ruyue, watch the house here; I am going to kill some people!"

"Rest assured, my lord, this subordinate will definitely watch over Anzhou City; there will not be the slightest mishap!"

"Oh, right!" Shen Yu, who had just prepared to leave, suddenly turned back, patted Liang Ruyue on the shoulder, and wore a look of sympathy.

Such a strange expression left Liang Ruyue at a loss. My lord, do you know that your current expression is very punchable?

"I forgot to tell you a secret: that Miss Shui Hanzhi of yours, who looks as fresh and delicate as a sixteen-year-old girl, is actually over one hundred and ten years old!"

"Liang Ruyue, I admire you; this is the first time I have admired you so much. What a set of teeth you have; you really could bring yourself to bite!"

"Over a hundred years old?" He certainly would not doubt Shen Yu's words, but this age was truly too much of a shock for him, leaving Liang Ruyue unable to catch his breath.

The mere thought that the one acting coquettishly and begging for intimacy every day was someone of my great-grandmother's generation—that feeling was truly something else just to think about. I had thought she would be quite old, but I hadn't thought she would be this old.

"I, this, this, I've suffered a huge loss!"
