This hoarse voice, which sounded like a drake's, carried a sleazy undertone.

It was none other than the voice of Yang Fei's master, Shou Jing Gong.

After Yang Fei finished speaking, he turned and switched on the garage overhead light.

The entire garage instantly became brightly lit.

Beneath the light stood a sharp-faced, monkey-cheeked old man.

He was dressed in a blue cloth robe, his forehead shiny, and his eyes rolling about vigorously.

The old man's half-bald forehead retained only a tuft of white hair, slicked with plenty of hair gel.

His hair was combed neatly and shone brightly.

Who else could it be but Old Silver Stick?

Shou Jing Gong glared at Yang Fei, fuming with rage.

"Damn it, you've grown balls, daring to hit your master's wife?"

"Believe it or not, I'll squash your eggs, and Little Bird Yang will become Yang Wuniao?"

He cursed under his breath but kept winking furiously at Yang Fei.

Only then did Yang Fei notice that standing behind Shou Jing Gong was a middle-aged woman.

She was dressed in black, and quite pretty to boot.

However, her face carried a heavy air of iciness.

Yang Fei was tongue-tied.

"Master, when did you get another wife?"

Shou Jing Gong, furious, stormed over and delivered a hefty knuckle-rap on Yang Fei's head.

"What are you talking about? I have deep affection and respect for Lady Spring."

"I have loved only her in this life. Don't you know you have just one master's wife?"

Yang Fei cried out in pain and saw that Shou Jing Gong wouldn't stop making faces at him.

Out of helplessness and following the rules of the Mortal World, he slightly bowed to the female assassin.

"Yang Fei pays respects to the senior."

The female assassin huffed and shifted slightly to the side, indicating she did not accept Yang Fei's courtesy.

She said coolly, "There's no need, you're quite something for dodging my Twin Life-Stealing Kill."

"No wonder Xiao Xuanya would rather defy her master's order than leave you."

Yang Fei had already guessed something.

But at the mention of Xiao Xuanya by the female assassin, he was still momentarily stunned.

Shou Jing Gong snorted, "Aren't you going to thank Lady Spring for sparing your life?"

"You good-for-nothing, utterly lacking in perceptiveness."

Yang Fei, with a bitter face, "Master, you suddenly show up in my garage out of nowhere."

"Then, out of nowhere, you pick a fight with me, what is all this about?"

As he spoke, he glanced around.

In a corner of the garage, there were seven or eight individuals dressed in black.

Each one of them had a chilling air about them; clearly, they were all assassins.

Lady Spring huffed.

"We from Blood-cloth Tower took a bounty to take your life."

"But as everyone just witnessed, my best from Blood-cloth Tower couldn't lay a finger on you."

"We obviously can't complete this assignment, but it's not because Blood-cloth Tower lacks integrity."

With every sentence she said, Shou Jing Gong nodded in agreement behind her.

By the time Lady Spring finished talking, Shou Jing Gong had already nodded seventeen or eighteen times.

Yang Fei listened to Lady Spring's words, half-understanding.

He had no choice but to look at Shou Jing Gong.

"Master, can you tell me what's really going on?"

Shou Jing Gong looked proud and glanced at Lady Spring.

"First, I must introduce the young beauty beside me... cough, I mean, a great beauty."

"She is none other than the renowned Tower Master of Blood-cloth Tower, Li Chunniang."

"Five years ago, Li Chunniang was the darling of the Mortal World, the epitome of beauty that would make the moon hide in shame and fish sink from view..."

Li Chunniang shot Shou Jing Gong a glaring look.

"If you utter another nonsense, I'll walk away and never see you again."

At this, Shou Jing Gong immediately became as silent as a cicada in winter.

"Alright, alright, I'll get to the point."

He looked at Yang Fei and said, "This time, Lady Spring and I have come here actually for Xiao Xuanya."

Yang Fei hmm'ed in response, upon which Shou Jing Gong immediately glared at him with dissatisfaction.

"Why aren't you asking what this has to do with Xiao Xuanya?"

Left with no choice, Yang Fei could only helplessly say, "Alright then, what does this have to do with Xiao Xuanya?"

Shou Jing Gong's brows lifted in a smile, nodding with satisfaction.

"The youth shows promise."

"Speaking of Xiao Xuanya, we have to talk about Xuan Ying Pavilion."

"Last time, Xiao Xuanya killed Xuan Ying Pavilion's Eldest Senior Brother and the expert Huang Da, and this news has already spread to Xuan Ying Pavilion."

"According to reliable information, Xuan Ying Pavilion has already dispatched an extremely formidable expert, prepared to assassinate Xiao Xuanya and you."

"This time, Lady Spring has come to take Xiao Xuanya away."

"The expert from Xuan Ying Pavilion is too formidable; we can only lay low for a while."

"Heh heh, who knew that Xiao Xuanya, this little beauty, would say that the contract she signed with you hasn't expired and refused to leave no matter what."

"Angered, Lady Spring intended to make a move on you."

"Once you were killed, Xiao Xuanya naturally would have no concerns left."

At this point, Shou Jing Gong glanced at Li Chunniang, puffing out his chest and pointing at his nose with pride.

"You're my Disciple, so naturally, I can't just watch you get killed by Lady Spring."

"Under the charm of a man who makes flowers bloom and who is adored by everyone, Lady Spring finally agreed to make one attempt."

"If she couldn't kill you, she would spare your little life and then give Xiao Xuanya a chance to choose."

Yang Fei couldn't help but laugh bitterly, "So, you just watched as someone tried to assassinate me?"

"Nonsense, you are my disciple; I have confidence in you."

"If you've learned even three-tenths of my skills, you would be able to save your life."

No sooner had Shou Jing Gong finished speaking than Li Chunniang snorted.

"Old fossil, are you saying that I, Li Chunniang, only have three-tenths of your skill?"

Shou Jing Gong was at once struck dumb.

He walked up to Li Chunniang, bowing and scraping.

"I swear, I had absolutely no such thought."

"If Lady Spring wanted to kill me, she would only need to smile at me, and my soul would shatter, no need for a knife..."

Li Chunniang snorted again and paid no further attention to Shou Jing Gong.

She walked over to Yang Fei and said indifferently, "With your skills, you are indeed worthy of being my disciple."

"I leave Xiao Xuanya in your care. If you dare to play around and mistreat her, all of Blood-cloth Tower will be your enemy."

"Even if your Kung Fu is formidable, Blood-cloth Tower has a thousand ways to take your life."

Yang Fei was struck dumb.

"Senior, there is absolutely nothing romantic between Xiao Xuanya and me."

"There might be some misunderstandings here; could you allow me to explain a few words..."

"Nonsense, if Xiao Xuanya looks up to you, that's your good fortune; what right have you to be picky?"

"Knowing that the expert from Xuan Ying Pavilion was coming after you, she was willing to risk her life to stay by your side."

"How will you repay such deep affection?"

Li Chunniang said coldly, then with a 'whoosh' drew out the Snake Letter Sword from the wall.

The Snake Letter Sword, like crystal clear autumn water, shimmered uncertainly under the lamplight.

Yang Fei was frozen with shock.

"But, Xiao Xuanya told me she has betrayed Blood-cloth Tower."

"Blood-cloth Tower wants to deal with her and asked me to protect her."

"Idiot! A woman's words should be interpreted in reverse. How did I end up with a stupid disciple like you?"

Shou Jing Gong cursed under his breath, whacking Yang Fei on the head with a violent scolding.

Then, he ingratiatingly moved closer to Li Chunniang, helping her rub her shoulders.

He gave Yang Fei a meaningful look: "See, you should learn from this."

With a cold laugh, Li Chunniang said, "What a joke, Xiao Xuanya is my disciple."

"The next Tower Master of Blood-cloth Tower, no one from Blood-cloth Tower dares to disrespect her."

Yang Fei's heart became completely chaotic, standing there in a daze.
