Chapter 16

After saying some words for his guests, Mei Ba Dao immediately leave to see what happened. He then arrived at Chen Yue's room only to see that the walls were destroyed. Chen Yue and Mei Yin was inside talking with each other. He could clearly see the anxiousness and worries in his granddaughters face as she hold to Chen Yue.

"Chen Yue what happened here?" Mei Ba Dao asked. This was his mansion and he was the owner of this place. Right now, his guests were attacked inside and he felt that it was his responsibility as the host to make sure that nothing will happen to his guests.

"Patriarch Mei don't worry about it, it is just that some people are consistent in doing their jobs" Chen Yue replied as he already guessed how patriarch Mei was feeling right now.

Hearing Chen Yue's carefree reply, Mei Ba Dao didn't ask anymore. He just knew that he should improve the security of his mansion. The guards around didn't even noticed that someone trespass their mansion. For him, this is a huge slap in his face.

"I will arrange a new room for you" Patriarch Mei then leave as he knew he will be busy because of this incident. Aside from improving the security of the Mei residence, he also needs to investigate what happened here.

"Young master" while Chen Yue was consoling Mei Yin who won't even let go of his hand. Jin Tian entered the room with a serious expression. Earlier when Chen Yue finished sucking the assassin inside the Kamui dimension, Jin Tian was the first one to arrived at the scene. At that time, Jin Tian immediately blames himself for being useless to be by his side when the attacked happened. At that time Chen Yue was really helpless on what to do with him, luckily he found a reason to send him away by ordering him to carry the unconscious Xiao Ke to her room.

"Yin'er let go first, I will just talk with Jin Tian for a while" knowing that it must be something related the assassination, Mei Yin wanted to stay to listen. But at the end she still reluctantly let go and leave Chen Yue and Jin Tian alone. In her heart, she promised that if she knew who was the mastermind behind this, she will do everything she can to kill and destroy that person.

*thud*

When Mei Yin left, Jin Tian immediately kneels on the floor while putting his black sword in front of him. Chen Yue's face turned again into helplessness. "Jin Tian stop this, kneeling and blaming yourself won't change anything. Didn't you see that I am just fine, so there is no need for you to do this"

"But young master it was still my fault for not being with you and not noticing that someone was here to take your life. What if something happened to you again when I was not with you like last time. I won't have any face to show in front of the general. Please young master, punish this servant for being useless" Jin Tian said resolutely. For him, guarding the only heir of the Chen family and his young master is his ultimate goal in his life. In the past, it was the old general that took pity on him who was living as a thief in the past. The old general teaches him discipline, gave him food and shelter. It was the old general that changes his life for the better.

At that time, he promised not only to himself but also to the heavens that he will protect his young master even if it costs his life. That is the only way he knew to repay the kindness that the old general had given him in the past. He didn't own his life, for him his life was also a property of his young master. It is also because of this that he felt that he had failed.

Chen Yue was really having a headache in the stubborn personality of Jin Tian. This large man kneeling in front of him looks like a child asking their parents for something. Chen Yue let out a helpless sigh and said, "Alright just as you said, this is all your fault. If you are with me, this might not happened. As for the punishment, I will ask grandfather for it when we returned to the capital"

After a series of argument with Jin Tian who refused to leave him alone, he successfully manage to push him away. A servant came and escorted him to his new room. When he entered the room, his nose was suddenly invaded by an intoxicating familiar fragrance. Chen Yue's nose twitch a couple of time before realizing where he had smell this fragrance before. Looking at the room, it was decorated beautifully. Several paintings were hanging on the wall, and a large red bed was inside. Chen Yue knew was sure that this is a girl's room. Then the thing at the floor makes Chen Yue a hundred percent sure that this was a girl's room. Because the thing at the floor was the dress that Mei Yin was wearing earlier in the banquet.

Chen Yue then heard a soft sound of water coming from behind the door inside the room. Chen Yue knew that something cliche will happen if he didn't take action now. So without thinking twice, he immediately enters the Kamui dimension and just decided to interrogate the assassin inside.

What Chen Yue didn't know was the moment he was sucked inside the Kamui dimension, Mei Yin came out of the bath. It was clear that she already dried her red hair inside as it was just slightly wet. But the thing is, she was not wearing anything. Earlier, a servant came and said that Chen Yue will be staying in her room with her. When she asked the servant why as there are many more rooms in the mansion, the servant just answered that her Uncle Sun and the patriarch suddenly act weird and destroy the wall on each room.

That is the reason she immediately take a bath to clean herself. She thought that the talk between Chen Yue and Jin Tian will take some time before he comes here.

Mei Yin then walked in front of a large mirror and look at herself in her birthday suit. After 'inspecting' some areas in her body, she then take her red nightgown and wear it. All she had to the is wait for Chen Yue to arrive in the room. Her whole face is burning red as she stares at the door with dreamy eyes.

-------------------------------

In the dark alley of the Flowing Water City, the other assassin who escaped ware lying on the ground holding his chest and was having difficulty in breathing. The kick that he receive was so strong that it broke several of his ribs which punctured his lungs. The assassin knew how grave his injuries were and if not treated immediately, he will surely lose his life.

"Look who's here, an assassin from the Dark Hand" while the assassin was clinging to his life. He heard a voice in front of him. With great difficulty he look up and saw a thin old man with blood red eyes(his eyes were just red color) staring down at him. He knew that this old man in front of him is not an ordinary person as he can't see through his cultivation.

"Say what is an assassin from the Dark Hand doing in this city. I thought that you guys stationed in the capital and you have a powerful family there as your backer" the old man sit in front of the assassin and inquire. His twig like arms hold the assassin's head and with a powerful force, he directly crushed the assassin's head.

The old man then took the gold emblem on the chest of the assassin and muttered coldly, "Flowing Water City is the base of the Red Skull Church. Didn't you know that you are going against us by going here"
