Fantasy: After three years in prison, the dude is out Chapter 040

“Hmm?”

The black-clothed man at the mid-stage of Profound Yellow Realm frowned.

Wasn’t Xie Weilou just an ordinary person according to the employer?

Is this what they call ordinary?

However, he didn’t hesitate. He instantly drew the long saber from his waist and charged towards Xie Weilou.

“Die!”

Xie Weilou extended a finger, gently pinched, and a fierce pressure erupted.

“Ah…”

A shrill scream echoed as the black-clothed man turned into dust in an instant.

“You’ve been watching for so long, you should come out now.”

Xie Weilou looked towards a certain direction, where a middle-aged man in a grey robe stood, holding a long sword.

“Many people in Tianqi City have misjudged you. I didn’t expect you to be a cultivator, but it doesn’t matter, I’ll send you on your way.”

The middle-aged man’s expression was indifferent, and an aura of early Pioneering Realm erupted from his body. His figure flickered, his long sword unsheathed, and he instantly stabbed towards Xie Weilou’s neck.

A smile appeared on Xie Weilou’s face, and he caught the incoming long sword with his fingers. The long sword seemed to be clamped by iron tongs, unable to move forward.

“What?”

The middle-aged man’s expression changed in shock.

“Turn to dust.”

Xie Weilou’s smile was sinister as he flicked his finger on the long sword.

Boom!

The next moment, the long sword exploded, and the middle-aged man’s body was directly shattered into powder, turning to dust.

“No one else.”

Xie Weilou smiled indifferently, holding the oil-paper umbrella as he walked forward.

Today’s assassins belonged to two groups.

The first wave was very weak, likely from one person, the You Family!

He had embarrassed them before, so wanting revenge was understandable.

As for the Pioneering Realm expert who appeared, he was likely sent by one of the princes.

After all, he had visited the First Prince’s residence today, which was no secret. Some people probably didn’t want him to ally with the First Prince, so they wanted to send him on his way.

Not long after.

The Eldest Princess’s residence.

The courtyard was covered in ice and snow, the hall was brightly lit, and in a pavilion, Yan Ruyu was reading a scroll, her eyes tranquil and gentle to the extreme, but she was a ruthless and cruel woman.

!

At this moment, an ice crystal arrow pierced through the pavilion and shot towards Yan Ruyu.

“…”

There was no ripple in Yan Ruyu’s eyes. She gently clenched the scroll, and the ice crystal arrow instantly exploded.

“There’s a rat.”

Yan Ruyu said indifferently, put down the scroll, and walked out of the building. With a flicker of her figure, she appeared on top of another pavilion.

On top of the pavilion.

Stood a mysterious man in a black robe and mask, this person was Xie Weilou.

“…”

Xie Weilou stared at Yan Ruyu. He had to admit, this woman was very beautiful, and also very dangerous.

Boom!

Yan Ruyu didn’t waste any words and slapped towards Xie Weilou, a terrifying palm print erupted.

Xie Weilou’s figure flickered, flying backwards a hundred meters.

Rumble!

The pavilion was instantly blasted by Yan Ruyu’s palm print. She frowned slightly and was about to continue her attack.

Xie Weilou stood a hundred meters away and said indifferently, “A prince asked me to tell you a message, you were framed by the First Prince in the incident three years ago!”

After speaking, he flew away.

This was a fire he added, to stir up the water, naturally he couldn’t let Yan Ruyu be alone.

“…”

After hearing this, Yan Ruyu’s pupils shrank, and a terrifying pressure erupted from her body. Cracks appeared in the surrounding palaces and pavilions.

She naturally had some doubts about what happened three years ago.

Now that she heard this news, she suddenly thought of many things.

According to the situation at the time, it was indeed very likely that Yan Junlin framed her, and he certainly had the opportunity to do so.

————

Yan Junlin’s residence.

The banquet had been going on for a while.

Yan Junlin invited many friends, seemingly with a smile on his face, but he was somewhat unhappy in his heart.

That Xie Weilou actually stood him up, damn it!

He had taken so much money from him during the day, and after losing it all, he wouldn’t acknowledge it? How could a person be so untrustworthy?

“Reporting, Your Highness, I have important news to report.”

A guard immediately walked in.

Yan Junlin glanced at him and asked, “What is it?”

The guard quickly said, “Just now, Young Master Xie sent someone to pass on a message, saying that he encountered an assassination attempt, and thanked you for sending someone to save his life, but he was frightened and couldn’t come to the banquet tonight.”

“Assassination?”

Yan Junlin’s expression was thoughtful. He waved his hand and said, “I see, you can leave.”

He didn’t doubt this matter. Xie Weilou came to his residence during the day and encountered an assassination attempt at night, which was very normal.

After all, the other competitors didn’t want to see him successfully win over Xie Weilou. Eliminating Xie Weilou was naturally the best way.

Someone saved Xie Weilou’s life?

Yan Junlin believed that this was done by his imperial father.

According to his speculation, his imperial father wouldn’t let Xie Weilou die so easily. It seemed that all his guesses had come true.

Thinking of this, a faint smile appeared on Yan Junlin’s face.

It wasn’t that Xie Weilou didn’t want to come, but that he didn’t dare to come for the time being.

After encountering an assassination and being frightened, it wouldn’t be enjoyable to come over for a drink, and it wouldn’t be in line with normal human psychology.

“Since he thinks the person sent by my father is mine, then I’ll accept it.”

Yan Junlin’s smile grew even stronger.

He looked at the people in the building and said, “Everyone, let’s drink to our heart’s content, but we can’t slack off during the Winter Hunt!”

“Don’t worry, Your Highness, we will not let you down.”

The surrounding people immediately raised their glasses.

Before the Winter Hunt, the princes would invite some young people in advance, which was a form of betting.

After all, those who performed well in the Winter Hunt would be valued by the emperor.

They made bets in advance, and as long as they bet on the right person, who would amaze everyone at that time, it would be a great help to their future competition.

“Hmm!”

Yan Junlin nodded with a smile, in a very good mood.

At this moment, he didn’t know that he had already been sold out!

At the same time.

The Third Prince’s residence.

Inside a pavilion.

Yan Wuchen was sipping fine wine. He had also invited some friends today, but the banquet was in the daytime and had already ended.

“Reporting, Your Highness, the person we sent failed, and there were no remains left.”

A guard bowed solemnly to Yan Wuchen.

“Failed?”

Yan Wuchen raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.

This time, he sent a Pioneering Realm expert, but he still failed?

His reason for wanting to kill Xie Weilou was simple.

Now that Xie Cangxuan was close to him, he planned to eliminate Xie Weilou, so that Xie Cangxuan could let him secure the position of Marquis of Zhenxi, and at the same time, he could thwart Yan Junlin’s plan.

In this way, he could steadily gain the support of the Marquis of Zhenxi’s mansion.

Don’t underestimate this declining marquis’s mansion, it was still very useful.

“Should we send someone else…”

The guard asked.

Yan Wuchen said indifferently, “It seems that Yan Junlin sent someone to protect Xie Weilou. I knew that guy had just won over Xie Weilou, how could he let him die? That’s in line with Yan Junlin’s personality. Since we failed once, let’s wait for the Winter Hunt to find another opportunity.”

The guard bowed, “Understood.”
