Chapter 14

Chapter 14

This matter is no small issue; someone unknown has actually broken into the imperial palace!

She has gotten so close, yet she has not been detected.

If the intruder were to attempt an assassination, the consequences would be unpredictable.

They immediately drew their swords and surrounded Lin Beifan to protect him.

Assassin! Quickly, come and guard the Emperor!

Old Eunuch Liu also appeared beside Lin Beifan, his entire bodys True Qi condensed, ready to burst forth, as he intently stared into the distance.

On the eaves, a young girl dressed in black had appeared.

She appeared to be around sixteen or seventeen, with delicate features, fair skin, and a graceful figure.

Her hair was tied into two buns, yet she had long, jet-black hair that fell to her waist.

She was eating a candied haw on a stick, nodding and shaking her head, sitting on the eaves with her smooth and fair little feet dangling carelessly, looking very lively and cute.

Lin Beifan waved his hand: Dont be nervous, the young girl before us is clearly a master! If she wanted to kill me, you wouldnt be able to stop her at all!

Little foolish Emperor, youre right! If Yaoyao wanted to kill you, your head would have fallen long ago! the mysterious girl laughed, her tone filled with confidence.

Lin Beifan beckoned with his hand: Young lady, whats your name, and what brings you here?

The mysterious girl tossed aside the candied hawthorn stick she had just finished eating. Her small feet swayed lightly, and in what seemed like an instant teleportation, she appeared in front of Lin Beifan, lifted her little head, and with a mischievous smile said,

My name is Yaoyao! Im here specifically to kill you!

Upon hearing this, everyone tensed up.

However, Lin Beifan laughed it off unconcernedly: Why kill me?

The young girl Yaoyao was stunned: What? You want to add more money?

Lin Beifan nodded earnestly.

The girl burst into laughter once again, Dont be like that. Are you trying to make me die of laughter to save your own skin? Relax, I dont want to kill you anymore. Youre quite interesting; it would be a pity to kill you!

Lin Beifan shook his head with a smile, Little girl, youve misunderstood my intention! How much money would you get for killing me? Instead, lets increase the bounty, attract more people here, and then we can kill them! Their money would then fall into our pockets, right?

The girls eyes widened in surprise, So youre suggesting

Exactly, thats what I mean!

Lin Beifan whispered, Ill be the bait, and youll be the fisherman. Together, well grow stronger and, in the end, well split the money between the two of us. How does that sound?

Yaoyao, the girl, pointed at Lin Beifan with trembling hands, You you make sense!

Then, the two of them began to chatter and discuss the details.

Everyone around was utterly stunned!

Goodness, they were mortal enemies before, but now they were actually collaborating, scheming together to trick someone else!

Especially their young Emperor, who even put a bounty on his own life!

Such a bold move, they were witnessing it for the first time!

Their worldviews were shattered in an instant!

At this moment, Lin Beifan didnt forget to warn everyone, This is a state secret, not to be disclosed. Understood?

Everyone gave a wry smile; even if they wanted to tell, no one would believe them!
