Su Que finished his business and brushed his clothes as he left.

He left behind panic and chaos.

The pedestrians and street vendors, though unclear about what had happened, saw the two soldiers performing Lightweight Skill and leaping onto rooftops, along with the distant cries and noises coming from the Celestial Grain Tower.

They figured it was those Martial Artists fighting again and feared being caught in the crossfire themselves.

The vendors hurriedly packed up, the women quickly embraced their clueless children, and other townsfolk quickened their pace, hurriedly fleeing the street.

In an instant, this bustling and noisy street emptied.

The faint yellow lantern light spread over the street, feeling desolate.

Several dandies in Ou Tianci's private room feared the assassin might strike again after seeing Ou Tianci's death and could kill them too.

But after some time had passed and the assassin didn't return, they speculated that the assassin only wanted to kill Ou Tianci, not them, and all let out a sigh of relief.

The five Martial Artists protecting the area, seeing Ou Tianci killed right under their noses and unable to chase the assassin anymore, exchanged glances of understanding and jumped down from the stands of the Celestial Grain Tower and fled in one direction.

They needed to run.

The Ou Family's power in Jiannan Prefecture City was considerable, and they feared that the family would vent their anger on them due to Ou Tianci's death.

Thus, they all wanted to leave Jiannan Prefecture and go to another Prefecture City to live.

Although in a new place, everything would be unfamiliar, and much would start anew, but it was better than staying here risking their lives.

Among them, three Martial Artists were poisoned by Su Que's poisoned hidden weapon, with the poison entering their bodies.

They initially planned to go to a clinic to detoxify, but after performing Lightweight Skill and activating their True Qi.

It was as if a floodgate had suddenly opened, and the poison spread rapidly through their bodies, soon invading their Five Viscera.

With several "thud" sounds, they fell to the ground, dying from the poison.

The two soldiers pursuing Su Que, after losing track of him, returned to the Celestial Grain Tower.

They checked Ou Tianci's corpse and reported back to the Thunderbolt Army.

And those who fled from the street also spread the news of the incident.

Attracting some Martial Artists who came to see for themselves after hearing.

The Martial Artists examined the scene, saw Ou Tianci's death, and the two poisoned corpses, gaining a rough understanding.

Thus, the news of Ou Tianci being killed by a suspected Tang Sect Assassin at the Celestial Grain Tower gradually spread throughout Jiannan Prefecture City.

Soon, several figures rushed over, led by Ou Family's Patriarch, Ou Haquan.

When he saw his son's body, his eyes turned red, and his hair and beard stood on end.

Veins bulged on his forehead, and his whole body shook.

"Tang Sect..."

He murmured in a low voice, eyes sharp as lightning, full of killing intent.

His fourth son, Ou Tianhao, had died in Jade Water City, and although he didn't know how he died, he found traces of Tang Sect Assassins fighting at his son's battleground.

It seemed that Ou Tianhao's death was also strongly linked to the Tang Sect.

Now, the death of one son was confirmed to be by a Tang Sect Assassin.

The death of another son, though possibly not by an Assassin from the Tang Sect, seemed highly likely to be related to them.

He took a deep breath and instructed an accompanying Nursing Home member to prepare fine coffins.

Then, he stood in the Celestial Grain Tower's private room, contemplating how to find the Tang Sect Assassins responsible for killing his three sons, and those related to his fourth son's death!

...

The news that Ou Tianci was killed by a Tang Sect Assassin in public at the Celestial Grain Tower quickly reached Li Yujing.

Li Yujing, for her family's restoration enterprise, had to endure temporarily, sacrificing Su Que's official position, feeling particularly uneasy about it, her mood had been somewhat gloomy these days, but she suddenly received this news.

Immediately, she was overjoyed, her face illuminated by candlelight seemed to immediately brighten.

"I must tell Xiao Jing this good news."

With that thought, Li Yujing promptly stood up, groomed herself, changed her clothes, and headed towards Su Que's residence.

...

Duan Han was sitting in his study when he suddenly received the message brought by his subordinates.

——Ou Tianci was killed by a Tang Sect Assassin in public at the Celestial Grain Tower.

Duan Han's heart filled with joy upon hearing it, wanting to slap the table, but seeing the messenger was not a trusted aide, he restrained himself.

He had been happy in his role as Prefect, until suddenly Ou Tianci entered the Government Office; for the restoration enterprise, he had to give way in every situation, feeling stifled daily.

Upon hearing this news, how could he not rejoice!

'Time to bring out the good wine! Time to bring out the good wine!'

Duan Han thought to himself, then softly said to a servant cleaning in the study:

"Xiao Lang, help me get a pound of twenty-year-old Bamboo Leaf Green from the wine shop!"

"Master, your health... Madam and Miss won't allow..." the servant said in a low voice.

Duan Han spat: "Just go if I tell you to, or I'll dismiss you."

As he spoke, he fumbled inside his garments, pulled out a few pieces of broken silver, stood up, and forced them into the servant's hands.

The servant, helpless, had to take the silver coins.

Just as he turned around, Duan Han's voice came from behind again:

"Remember to leave through the back door, if you get seen by my wife and daughter, you'll be dismissed as well!"

The servant sighed inwardly, pocketed the silver coins, and walked out.

...

After leaving the Celestial Grain Tower, Su Que used Lightweight Skill to head towards Zhang Bengen's residence.

As he flew, True Qi released from his pores, erasing all traces and scents.

Upon reaching Zhang Bengen's residence, after placing the hidden weapons and changing his clothes, Su Que left the place, leisurely making his way home.
