The favor!

Yan Jing and Xin'er gasped in horror with his bluntness but Tàizǐ diànxià smiled calmly as if he was hinting something, that Yu had forgotten.

You're missing a very important part. .dear brother!" Tàizǐ muttered calmly that makes Yu frowned.

"Im sure you'll never gonna do that!"

"What makes you so sure?" He asked sourly.

"Barking dogs never bite!"

He chuckles.

"Beside you will never had a chance to do so. .not because you're not capable of betraying me but you also have to considered someone else life.!"

Yu gasped in frustration when he realized what Tàizǐ diànxià really meant.

How dare this fool used Xin'er as his trump card againts him.?

This damn fool! Yu cursed Tàizǐ diànxià in his mind, he really deserved his tittle as a "Great tactician" as he knows how to manipulate people one way or another.

Thats why he insisted of bringing Xin'er with him, its not because of peoples suspicion but it was because Tàizǐ wants to make sure he won't betrayed him.

But Its not like that, Taizi diànxià wants him to be matured and responsible enough as Xin'er is with him.!

besides, he wants Yu diànxià to make his move as soon as possible. He wanted to get rid of Yu's wrong impressions towards him and he was quite alarmed with what Yan Jing had said to them.

"No. ! This is not about loyalty but responsibility!"

Yu thought.

Xin'ers life weighed in his shoulder and it was understandable that he wont act rashly otherwise Yan Jing will going to kill him.

"Im going to kill you if something will happened to her!" 

Yan Jing barked imperiously and was about to stepped towards Yu diànxià when Xin'er clutch in his dressed tightly that makes him stopped. He took a glanced towards her, she shook her head saying that it was fine.

Yan Jing expression become soften as he looked into Xin'ers eyes. .there's sadness in there that melts his heart. 

"Please be careful!" He sighed. "Your little sister and I is always waiting for you!" 

Xin'er nodded.

"Wait. did I agree to bring her with me?"

Yu diànxià asked them blankly. "I never. .

"Yes you did.!" Taizi snapped grimly.

"You guys were going to set off now. .if you travel in days and nights and took a short cut by the river you'll arrived at the fifth night.!"

"Now? Why it has to be. .

"Tàizǐ diànxià!" Ma Chunli interrupted them. "Everything is set!"

"Hao!" Taizi nodded. "Xin'er the tasked Im going to give to you is quite important!"

He said glaring at Yu diànxià.

"Wa. .what is that Tàizǐ diànxià as long as I can do, I will do it!"

"Hao!" Tàizǐ diànxià smiled mischievously. 

"Kill him if he's going to betray me!"

Xin'er was stunned, she doesn't know if it was meant a joke or something but the looked on 

Tàizǐ's face was quite serious.

"Can you do that?" 

Tàizǐ dianxia was calculating Xin'ers reaction, she opened her mouth and closed again which makes him think that she was silently inlove with his stupid brother. 

he chuckles. "But before that. .You guys should take care of yourselves. .safety has to be priority!"

He said after teasing her.

Xin'er nodded.

"Yan Jing please settle this brat!" He said pertaining to Yu diànxià.

"I have some important matter to discuss with Xin'er!"

Yan Jing dragged Yu diànxià defiantly as he wants to know, what Tàizǐ diànxià will going to asked Xin'er and how important is that since he asked them to leaved.

"What I said earlier is just a joke!" He said that makes Xin'ers sighed in relief.

"But Im going to asked you a favor. .

Xin'er looked at him in a manner that says. .what is it this time? He would never asked me something that is beyond impossible, is he?

"Your presence is very important in this tasked, I hope you'll cooperate with Yu'er!" He sighed while taking a glanced in the distance. "Yu'ers is just a diversionary tactics. .he'll be in the open while you will be in the dark!"

"You want me to kill someone?"

Xin'er starred at him, her eyes becomes grayer as she was asking out of her curiosity. She was indeed a member of Yan family.

Tàizǐ smiled at her, Xin'er is nevertheless his relatives, his cousin and she's really meant everything for Ye'er. Ye'er cared for her so much that she might end of killing him if something will happened to her.

"Please don't starres someone like that.!" he said in a brotherly manner. "Your eyes will give you up. .your real emotion!"

Xin'er looked down, her face slightly blushed.

"for your question. .it was yes and no!" 

"What do you mean?" Xin'er asked confusedly. "Please enlightened me!"

"I knew you were as capable as Ye'er. .you were trained as an assassin, aren't you?"

"I. .I am!" She answered softly.

"Its just Ye'er Gōngzhǔ forbid me. .and I never had a mission before, this is my first time!"

"Are you afraid.?" When she did not answered Tàizǐ continued. 

"That I understand, the first man that I took was when I was fifteen years of age. .but up to now I still remember how that man looks like!"

He give a discreet laughed.

"But this is something that only you can do, as this is involved the safety of your little sister!"

"What do you mean?"

Xin'ers expression suddenly changed, there was a sudden murderous aura in her darkened face when Tàizǐ said those words.

"Whoever dares to lay a hands on her. .will surely meets his end, I've been so lenient all this time, keeping my eyes shut and turning my ears deaf.!"

She said clenching her hand, there was a trace of fury in her eyes.

"I understand.!" 

Tàizǐ silently smiled, Xin'er is actually the best card in handling this tasked as it involves Ye'er. 

"You have to rescue the northern princess in the border and make sure to bring her, here alive and will!"

"Is that all?" Xin'er asked him as if she knew there's more than that. "I think you have something else to say!"

"Xin'er. .this might be too much for you!"

"What is that? As long as it could guarantee the safety of my sister I'll do it!"

"Marry my brother!"

"Wa. .what?"
