Chapter 847: Meeting an Old Friend Again? (10/10, please subscribe)

She hadn't expected that Lord Han was actually the legendary strongest assassin—the White Shadow Assassin—and even more unexpected, Lord Han had once been friends with His Majesty, yet in the end still assassinated His Majesty.

At the very end, His Majesty still forgave him and let him go…

The relationships within this were so complex that You Sisi couldn't figure them out no matter how she tried.

Looking at Fang Yue again, sure enough, he was already in a dazed state.

"Lord Han… White Shadow Assassin… His Majesty…"

Fang Yue was dumbfounded. He knew far too little about Lord Han's past, and Lord Han had also rarely brought up his own history.

And after Lord Han died, there was even less chance to learn about Lord Han's life.

He hadn't expected that in Jingcheng, he would obtain so many clues.

"Master…"

Fang Yue suddenly understood why Lord Han was so eager to recover his strength, even to break through to the immortal level.

Because his opponent, his target, was that man at the peak of Qing Guo. If he hadn't reached the immortal level, hadn't reached that tier, how could he possibly be qualified to kill his target?

"Yese, don't have any dangerous thoughts! Lord Han's matters are already old-generation affairs, nothing to do with us. Don't think yourself into a corner."

Seeing that something seemed off about Fang Yue's expression, You Sisi hurriedly said.

Fang Yue shook his head slightly: "Don't worry, Lord Han is Lord Han, I am me. All I need to do is take you away, have His Majesty withdraw the decree, then rescue An Dong'er and Captain Wu, and I won't linger in Jingcheng any longer! When the time comes, we can return to Qingsi County to be Green Attendants, build up Qingsi County, and fulfill your ideals from back then. Or we can return to Gu Yue Cun, help me rebuild Gu Yue Cun, rebuild our home!"

Listening to Fang Yue's words, a scene involuntarily surfaced in You Sisi's mind.

The setting sun, in a field far from the hustle and bustle, Fang Yue working in the fields, she wiping his sweat beside him—such a beautiful scene.

"Mm… mm! It's a promise! We'll go back to Qingsi County together, back to Gu Yue Cun, and live our lives!"

"We will, definitely!"

Fang Yue held her hand and said softly.

Although there were clearly still many things to do, to think about and resolve.

But right now, Fang Yue only wanted to sit quietly with You Sisi, not thinking about anything.

The two said nothing, just sat quietly together like that, yet their hearts were calm and peaceful, with an extremely reassuring feeling.

However, this feeling hadn't lasted even a few minutes before the carriage suddenly stopped.

"Lord Ye, we've arrived at Qi Huang Fu."

No sense of timing!

Fang Yue glanced at You Sisi in frustration, saw the same emotion in her expression, and couldn't help but grin.

"Wh-what's so funny…"

You Sisi's expression was a little flustered, her face blushing a delicate red.

Completely different from her usual bold, heroic, decisive tomboyish style, she looked exceptionally charming.

Just looking at You Sisi like this, Fang Yue felt a sense of happiness, wishing only that this moment could last forever.

But reality—there were far too many things requiring him to handle.

Lifting the curtain, just as he was about to step down from the carriage, Fang Yue was met face-to-face with a somewhat familiar yet unfamiliar face leaning in.

Instinctively stepping back, You Sisi let out an adorable "Ouch," apparently bumping her forehead against Fang Yue's back.

"Yese, what are you doing? Get off the carriage."

You Sisi grumbled sulkily while rubbing her forehead, then tilted her head sideways, peering past Fang Yue's figure to look ahead.

She saw a cute girl, blind in both eyes but seemingly smiling, slowly retracting her neck, standing beside the carriage, obediently waiting for the two of them.

"Captain Ye, Green Attendant You, long time no see."

"Who are you?"

You Sisi was somewhat bewildered. She stepped down from the carriage, looked at Fang Yue, then at this petite girl, vaguely feeling she looked familiar, yet unable to recall who this girl was.

Fang Yue had also stepped down from the carriage by now, his cold eyes fixed intently on this blind girl.

He had already remembered who this person was.

"Miss Ming, didn't expect to see you here!"

This blind girl was none other than the dancer from Deyun Cun—Miss Ming.

Back when Gu Yue Cun was destroyed and the whole village relocated, passing through Deyun Cun, Fang Yue had killed the Night Thief, but on Lord Han's advice, they didn't bring Deyun Cun's dancer along to Qingsi County.

When they met again later, it was Chen Xiaomiao escorting Ming, who was wearing handcuffs.

At the time, Fang Yue believed Chen Xiaomiao had sold An Dong'er to the Phoenix Organization and joined the Phoenix Organization, so seeing Ming treated this way, he was also very rude to Chen Xiaomiao.

Later, in the underground organization, a strange attack came, he was powerless to protect them, and they parted ways again.

After that, he never encountered Ming again.

However… Chen Xiaomiao's expression at the time, saying he had misunderstood her, and Ming's later escape, all seemed very suspicious.

But afterward, Ming's whereabouts were already unknown, and added to the fact that a frail woman like her fleeing blindly into the wilds would only lead to death—she should have been dead long ago—so he didn't pay it any more attention.

He hadn't expected that today, in Jingcheng, he would see this woman again!

"Ming? That dancer? So it was you!"

Hearing Fang Yue call out the other's name, You Sisi finally recalled this woman who was like an extra, having barely left any impression in her memory.

"Captain Ye has quite a memory, remembering a frail woman like me so clearly."

The blind girl covered her mouth and laughed, yet what she wore was all high-end silk, clearly worth a fortune—seemingly of no small status, doing quite well for herself in Jingcheng.

However, that body was, without a doubt, still merely a mortal's body, with no trace of martial arts training.

Fang Yue's cold eyes stared fixedly at her.

Many things had happened back then, but there was one thing he had always harbored in his heart, yet never had the chance to ask clearly.

Because the person he wanted to ask was now already a dead man.

"Back then, in the underground passage of the Phoenix Organization, Miaofa was escorting you, who was wearing handcuffs and shackles, as she fled. At the time I already regarded her as half a traitor, but back then, she had something she wanted to say to me, saying things weren't what I thought.

I've looked into Miaofa — she's not that bad, at least not the kind of bad I imagined.

Why did you join the Phoenix Organization?

Why did you betray An Dong'er and Captain Wu and the others?

There must be something I don't know that happened here, and this question — perhaps you can answer it for me, Miss Ming."

Hearing Fang Yue's question, Ming slowly lowered her right hand, and as if her eyes weren't blind, rose on her tiptoes, leaned close to Fang Yue, and peered at him with a grin, as though trying to guess what Fang Yue was really thinking and how he felt, then said slowly.

"Actually, it's not that complicated. If you really want to know the truth, you'll have to make a deal with me first."

"What kind of deal?"

"Be my personal guard for one day, and accompany me to 【Juan Niao Lou】."

【Juan Niao Lou】?

What kind of place is that?

Starting to fill in the plot holes now, so updates will be slower — my apologies.
