Chapter 522: Chapter 550 Chen Bainan Exposed (4th Update)
It was already half-past ten when he returned to the villa. Bai Bing was not in the hall; Lin Xi figured she must have gone to sleep, considering she had been busy at the company these past few days!
He practiced Xuanyuan Fist twice and, after finishing all his grooming, only wore a pair of under... pants to bed.
However, at this moment, there was a gentle knock on the door outside.
Of course, it wasn’t Bai Bing who was knocking, but Ding Yueqiu. Since she had just entered the villa, Lin Xi had noticed her.
"Come in!"
The next moment, Ding Yueqiu walked in clad in tight-fitting clothes. With a somewhat numb expression, she said, "Master, I found out who secretly wants to kill you."
In fact, it was about hiring an assassin to eliminate him.
"Who?" Lin Xi was still a bit curious about who it was. Logically, he hadn’t made any deep enemies since arriving in Chuzhou City; no one should want him dead.
Why would someone hire an assassin?
"Chen Bainan of the Chen family!" Ding Yueqiu said.
"Him?" Lin Xi exclaimed in surprise.
Ding Yueqiu nodded and explained that the reason she hadn’t gone to military training these past two days was because she was investigating this matter.
However, what puzzled Lin Xi was that he seemingly hadn’t offended him much before coming back from Cloud Vein Mountain.
If it were just that reason, and he wanted to hire an assassin, then he really had a small heart.
"Master, I will go kill him!" A strong murderous aura emanated from Ding Yueqiu.
This was not only for Lin Xi; more because, due to this mission, her task had failed.
She lost her first time, forcibly taken by the demon before her, and for the rest of her life became his slave!
So, to Ding Yueqiu, the one she hated the most was not Lin Xi, but the employer of this mission, Chen Bainan.
"Kill him?" Lin Xi shook his head, thought for a moment, and said, "That’s too easy for him!"
"You first go disable his third leg; I want him to become a eunuch for the rest of his life!"
Mess with me?
You really think I’m easy to bully?
Then you will be better off dead, and worse despair awaits you!
Ding Yueqiu nodded; it was fine either way. Even if Lin Xi hadn’t said it, she wouldn’t have spared Chen Bainan.
The next moment, she turned to leave the room, planning to head to the Chen family immediately, to make Chen Bainan wish for death!
"Wait!"
Ding Yueqiu’s face slightly changed when she saw this, but now she had a fear of Lin Xi that completely prevented her from defying him.
Besides, after what happened that night, it was already like that!
Lin Xi saw her like this and felt no pity. How could he treat someone who wanted his life so kindly!
However, he still pointed to one side of the bed and said, "Rest a bit, regain your strength before you leave!"
Having said that, Lin Xi closed his eyes, his consciousness entering the Jade Pendant Space for his nightly cultivation.
Meanwhile, Ding Yueqiu lay down beside Lin Xi without any expression on her face.
Seeing Lin Xi seemingly asleep, she didn’t dare have any improper intentions.
Let alone whether Lin Xi was feigning, her life was still in Lin Xi’s hands; if anything happened to him, she couldn’t survive either.
"However, he is truly formidable in that area!" Suddenly her expression became somewhat complex, as if she was reminiscing about the recent encounter.
In the morning, after practicing fist techniques and grooming, Lin Xi prepared breakfast, waiting for Bai Bing to come down.
"What’s going on?" After waiting for a while without hearing any movement upstairs, Lin Xi wondered.
Logically, Bai Bing should have already been sitting in the hall by now every day.
So, Lin Xi went upstairs to see what was going on with Bai Bing.
