Chapter 887: Is he really Yun Mufeng?

~7 min read 1,302 words

"This..."

Xu Tian thought for a moment before answering: "It's been too long, I can't remember."

If it's been too long...

The young man speculated that the current young master at the Yun family returned this year, so if it was a few years ago, it should be the real young master of the Yun family.

"Then the one you want to deal with is the real Yun Mufeng."

Xu Tian wanted to give them a Special-level bounty mission to kill Yun Mufeng. If they killed the imposter, they definitely wouldn't be able to report back.

And now that the imposter is favored at the Yun family, it's not someone they can easily see.

What's more, what kind of place is the Yun family? It's one of the three great families, with strict guards inside and outside the territory. It's absolutely impossible for them to succeed in an assassination inside; it's simply no different from seeking their own death.

"Leader Ding, I'll tell you the truth. I think the current young master at the Yun family is actually an imposter."

The young man weighed it again and again and decided to tell Xu Tian the truth.

"And the real young master of the Yun family, Yun Mufeng, is actually in Huaxia. Besides Leader Ding, someone else once issued a Special-level bounty mission, explicitly naming Yun Mufeng and demanding we assassinate him."

"You mean there are others who want to kill him too?" Xu Tian pretended to be curious and asked, "It seems that kid has quite a few enemies. What is that person's identity? Are they also from Wuji Dao?"

"Leader Ding, I'm sorry, the rules of our business are that we cannot reveal the employer's identity, so I cannot tell you who the person who wants to kill Yun Mufeng is. I hope you can understand."

"If I revealed the other party's information to you today, maybe I could reveal your information to others another day. A dishonest bounty hunter cannot gain a foothold in this business."

Now that the conversation had reached this point, Xu Tian could roughly infer the person's identity with just a little reasoning.

"Fine, I know the rules of your business and won't force you."

Xu Tian nodded slightly and continued to probe: "Then you took the mission and went to Huaxia to find the real Yun Mufeng?"

"That's right." The young man nodded. "And that Yun Mufeng, I don't know if something went wrong with his brain, but he didn't remember his identity at all and regarded himself as an ordinary Huaxia person."

"Normally speaking, it would be easy for us to assassinate Yun Mufeng, who had lost his memory. He didn't remember his identity and no longer had his once-proud skills; he was no different from an ordinary person. It's just a pity that just when we were about to succeed, a mysterious person suddenly appeared and saved him."

"But since Yun Mufeng didn't remember his identity, how did you judge that he was the real Yun Mufeng?" Xu Tian guided him step by step.

He couldn't figure this out either. Yun Hexian couldn't be stupid enough to tell the bounty hunters the real Yun Mufeng's identity directly. If this matter were exposed, it would be devastating for him.

As long as he wasn't a fool, he couldn't possibly hand such leverage to others.

"Of course, the bounty mission issued by the employer didn't explicitly mention the name Yun Mufeng. However, he had his confidant accompany us to Huaxia. We followed that confidant, and when the mission target appeared, he unconsciously said the name Yun Mufeng."

"It just so happened that I was behind him at the time and heard it very clearly, but only I heard his words. So, the news that the man in Huaxia was the real young master of the Yun family was known only to the employer and his confidant, besides me."

Xu Tian had been observing the young man's expression and felt that his tone and reaction didn't seem fake; it should be credible.

"And then?"

"Then Yun Mufeng was taken away by that mysterious person." The young man didn't hide it either.

"You are bounty hunters capable of taking Special-level bounty missions. Going to Huaxia to assassinate a Yun Mufeng who doesn't remember his identity should be a piece of cake. Huaxia's martial arts strength simply cannot be compared with Wuji Dao. How could there be someone there you couldn't handle?"

Xu Tian intended to continue probing, hoping to find out more information.

"This... Leader Ding, you don't know."

The young man recalled the scene back then and still had lingering fears.

"That mysterious woman was very powerful, and her style of doing things was a bit strange. In the middle of the night, she was wearing a cheongsam and also used hidden weapons. Seeing her was like seeing a ghost."

Xu Tian's pupils contracted sharply upon hearing this.

A woman in a cheongsam, who uses hidden weapons...

Isn't this the woman who saved him in Huaxia that night?

The scene of Xu Tian being hunted down by men in black once appeared in his mind.

When he was driving, he suddenly encountered a strange woman. That woman got into his car on her own initiative, and not long after, she happened to encounter the men in black who were hunting him down. At the critical moment, it was that woman who saved him.

And the experience of being saved by a woman was too humiliating, so Xu Tian didn't want to recall the scene afterward.

But now, the young man in front of him said that his mission target in Huaxia back then was actually Yun Mufeng.

The amount of information in this statement was too large. If inferred according to what the other party just said, then he was the real young master of the Yun family, Yun Mufeng.

But is he really Yun Mufeng?

If he really is Yun Mufeng, then the inexplicable dangers he encountered repeatedly in Huaxia all have a reasonable explanation.

Assuming these bounty hunters were sent by Yun Hexian, how did Yun Hexian know his true identity and also know he was in Huaxia?

Everything seemed to have an explanation, but it also became shrouded in mist.

Xu Tian's thoughts were a bit chaotic. He steadied himself slightly, raised his head, and looked at the young man opposite: "Your news is a bit useful to me. I'll send my men to find out some news first, and then I'll discuss the mission with you."

"Then I'll wait for the good news." The young man reached out to Xu Tian. "If Leader Ding finds out clearly and still wants to issue a bounty mission, you can call me."

The young man wasn't persistent about receiving this Special-level mission from Xu Tian. Even if Xu Tian went back on his word after today, it wouldn't do him any harm. On the contrary, being able to connect with the Wolf King, the leader of the Azure Wolf Hall, was more significant than him taking a single Special-level mission.

"I don't want a third person besides you and me to know about our conversation here just now." Xu Tian reached out and shook hands with the other party, and reminded him.

"Leader Ding, don't worry about this. My reputation in this circle is excellent. I will absolutely not betray any of the employer's secrets. Even if the deal doesn't go through, the friendship remains. Even if Leader Ding doesn't issue a Special-level bounty mission to me later, I won't talk about today's events."

Having received the young man's guarantee, Xu Tian nodded with satisfaction.

Afterward, the young man left the private room, and not long after, Liu Shasha walked in. ===== CHAPTER 888 =====
