A week later, under Long Ren's scary training, Theresa was able to complete the lotus dance. She even surprised him when she broke through to level 6 of the beginner realm last night.
His mistress was really a monster. She has set records that he's sure no one can break even in a thousand years to come.
Now she was currently sleeping after eating his spirit strawberries that were so delicious. She kept asking for more until he had to stop her.
After he was sure that her body was set for further learning, he left the secluded room where he had been training her for a week now.
He knew that there were some people who tried to break into the house but because of the seal placed around the house, they couldn't get in.
They were the assassins hired by Han Chunhua to kill them.
Long Ren smiled thinking of the plan he had for them tonight.
He covered the sleeping Theresa with a blanket and walked to his room.
He then said some words in a strange language and immediately, the seal around the house lifted.
He then left his room and headed to the living room.
The secluded room was a secret.
Not everyone can easily find it.
With hands placed behind his back, he slowly left the house.
He even purposely left the entrance door unlocked.
As he left the house, three black-clothed figures sped into the house within the blink of an eye.
Knowing they had fallen into his trap, Long Ren smiled.
He should go get some gifts for his mistress, those three rats can't leave the house nor find his mistress anyway.
Meanwhile, inside the house, the three figures who had just rushed in saw that the whole place was neat. They had searched everywhere even using their divine sense but still couldn't see a soul.
"That guy who just left lives here right? We'll just lay in wait for him, "one of them who was a head shorter than the other two suggested.
"He's just a nobody. He'll be back soon" said the first man.
With that, they sped out of the house laying in wait for Long Ren to come back. Indeed after an hour, Long Ren came back carrying a wooden box.
If anyone with evil intentions saw it, they wouldn't bother to steal it because this was a box used to carry some low-grade herbs that cannot bear direct contact with sunlight.
Seeing that Long Ren was about to enter the house, they sped in and hid at separate places waiting for Long Ren to come inside.
When Long Ren entered the house, he muttered some inaudible words and the seal that was earlier lifted surrounded the house again.
"Finally, i get something for her. I hope she likes it'Long Ren said 'excitedly'.
To the assassins, he seemed like a man who got a chance to finally give a gift to the girl he loves. That girl is one of the culprits and also their target.
It's too bad that they offended a powerful family or else the blooming romance between this young man and the girl he loves would have reached the point of marriage. It's truly a pity.
Long Ren, still carrying the wooden box, walked along the corridor and finally faced a painting hanging on the wall.
The painting parted in two to reveal a door that opened by itself.
Long Ren entered while humming an unknown tone.
He did not close the door and the assassins thought that it was because of his trust in the seal.
It's a pity that he was wrong or so they thought.
