Love, can an assassin also possess love?

If it weren't for him, Shen Zuimo would never have believed she could experience love. It was he who created a completely free living space for her.

The Red Butterfly had been destroyed by his own hands, and the nightingale completely vanished from this world. What's left is only Shen Zuimo. A woman who wants to savor the taste of love properly.

Capital City, International Airport.

A perfect woman, delicately carved by God, walked slowly off the plane.

She returned without accepting any gifts from the Queen; it was her job, doing the task well was enough. She lacked nothing extra; she just wanted to see that guy as soon as possible.

A military helicopter was already waiting on an empty lot inside the airport.

The Four Heroes of Yanhuang stood by, waiting for Shen Zuimo to arrive.

"Let me help you with that."

"Hmm? Are we leaving already?" Looking at the helicopter, Shen Zuimo asked in confusion.

"Do you want to go somewhere?"

"To find him, of course."

She replied so brightly, without a hint of hesitation. She came back to find him, clear and understanding, regardless of who might be with him. After all, she had already lost too much, so she might as well strive for a bit of happiness now.

"He's not in Capital City..."

"Hmm?"

"I just received the news as well. Every year during New Year's, he returns home to spend it with Old Mr. Ye, so this year is no exception."

"Oh, then… where is his home?"

"Hmm?"

Surprisingly, very surprising, it was the first time Shen Junjie saw his sister so determined to see Ye Xiaofan, and in such a hurry. It made sense; there should be an outcome.

"We've all been to his house; do you want to find him?"

"I…" Shen Zuimo finally realized if she might be rushing things. However, she was always such a straightforward person, doing whatever she thought. But directly running to someone's doorsteps seemed a bit unconventional: "Then I'll wait for him here."

"Here…" Shen Junjie seemed a bit embarrassed.

"What's wrong? Speak directly."

"Zuimo, he may not return to Capital City for ten days or half a month when he goes home, so…"

"Just say it."

"Here's the thing, Elder Fan also knows about your decision and has specially granted you permission to leave Yanhuang Soul to return to a peaceful life."

"Okay."

"But before that, he wants you to return to Yanhuang Soul once. After all, the information you took back then is significant. Although you've forgotten everything after losing your memory, Elder Fan still wants to make one last effort to see if hypnotherapy can help you remember where that information was placed."

"I see, okay, I'll head back to the base first. When Ye Xiaofan returns, let me know."

"Okay, sure."

If Xiaofan knew that Shen Zuimo came back specially to find him and he wasn't in Capital City, he would surely be annoyed, right? Of course, if he could have anticipated this, many things afterward wouldn't have happened.

A day later…

"Report, Mr. Fujita."

"Hmm, Ikeshita, is there news from Soul of Slaughter again?"

"Yes, Mr. Fujita, the latest intel shows the nightingale has returned to the Yanhuang Soul base and is undergoing hypnotherapy to help her recall memories from her amnesia period."

"What? And the effect?" Fujita asked nervously.

"The effect isn't very clear. The nightingale's speech during hypnosis is not coherent; she mentioned something like a memory card and then something about a drawer."

"Quick, immediately inform Soul of Slaughter to monitor the nightingale's movements closely. This information is too crucial."

"Yes… There's also another plan Soul of Slaughter wants to request…"

"Hmm? What other plan?"

"Soul of Slaughter has devised a plan to deal with Ye Xiaofan. This person is too much of a threat and needs to be eliminated swiftly."

"Even an assassination order couldn't handle him; what plan does Soul of Slaughter have?"

"The communication time was too short, and only next contact will provide more details."

"Alright, reply to him that the memory card and drawer must be related to HLY007. If he can find and bring them back successfully, there will be heavy rewards, and he'll get whatever he desires."

"Understood."

The loss of Inner Strength by Xiaofan must really not be easily exposed. If it indeed gets exposed, his life would be in constant danger.

Ye Aotian was deeply aware of the importance of this, which is why he was always seeking ways to help Xiaofan regain his Power.

"How is it? Any feeling?"

"Hmm? Not at all…"

Another new attempt, still with no progress whatsoever.

After parting with old class leader Chen Mengying at the airport, Xiaofan hurried back to the village urgently. He was also eager to restore his Power.

But after two full days, there was no progress whatsoever.

"Grandpa, you also seem tired, take a break."

"Alas, is there any way to reconnect the severed meridians of yours?"

While flipping through medical books and materia medica, he mulled over Xiaofan's damaged meridians throughout his body, at a complete loss.

"Grandpa, it's okay if there's no way; after all, I'm not going to die."

"Initially, I heard there's a very miraculous Cultivation Technique in Miaojiang, so I personally made a trip this time…"

"What? Grandpa? You went to Miaojiang? So far away, can your body withstand it?" Xiaofan asked with slight astonishment.

"Listen to me…"

"Listen to me. I'm young now; even without skills, I can survive. But if anything happens to you because of running around for me, how will I face Dad and Uncle and Second Uncle? Without Power, then be it. I'll just not go anywhere, bring a wife home, and live a good life with you." His grandpa went to Miaojiang, so far yet personally, how could Xiaofan feel at ease?

This time to Miaojiang, and who knows next time he heads to Capital City, where his grandpa might go. That's just Xiaofan; compared to Power, he cares more about his family around him.

"What cowardly words, you rascal."

Yet, Ye Aotian suddenly burst out in anger.

"Grandpa…"

"Do you know why I'm doing all this? Xiaofan…" Ye Aotian wanted to say something but stopped.

"Speak, I'm listening."

"Alas, our Ye Family finally produced a lad comparable to Ren Zhongtian. You have no idea how happy I am. Back then, I left Yanhuang Soul for your grandmother. Although I have no regrets, I've always felt guilty towards Yanhuang Soul and the brothers who fought alongside me. If I hadn't left then, those brothers might not have died so early in battle; if I hadn't left, I could've surely saved more comrades in those fights. But because of my selfishness, I didn't stay and fight with them. No regrets, but there's guilt."

"Grandpa…"

"My youthful spirit has long since been worn out. I no longer have the ability to make up for the regrets of the past, so I've selfishly placed my hopes on you once again. You have the ability, the courage, the wisdom. I might even say, when you defeated the Red Butterfly, I considered you our Ye Family's pride. Now, as long as I can heal you, you can replace me in protecting the country and fulfilling the unfulfilled dreams I had back then. A mere Miaojiang, what's stopping me from going? While these old bones of mine can still move, child, you must never, never lose confidence before I do."
