Chapter 75: The Ambush [II]

"I will cut the flesh off your body one by one, but I promise not to let you die, so you will watch the flesh on your body being cut off piece by piece. Do you want to know whether you can be killed through your own body? How many pieces of meat do you want me to cut?"

Seeing the growing fear in his eyes, Zhao Ling knew that the opportunity was coming, she continued to stare at his eyes firmly, lowered her voice, and slowly said to him: "Tell me, who sent you here?"

The young assassin couldn't help being attracted by Zhao Ling's dark eyes, the fear in his eyes gradually faded away, and after a while there was nothing but blankness in his eyes. He said slowly, word by word, "It's the Lord's order."

Lord? Zhao Ling frowned slightly. Could it be a killer group? She raised an eyebrow and asked. "Who is the Lord?"

"The Lord is the Lord of the Shadowless Sect."

Shadowless Sect? Zhao Ling had never heard of it, so she continued to ask, "Who is the sect master of the Shadowless?"

"The sect master of Shadowless is the master."

Well, Zhao Ling felt like she asked a silly question. It seemed that the young assassin didn't know much about the inside story, and was just doing what he was ordered to do.

She looked away and snapped her fingers in the young assassin's ear. Those present saw that the young assassin's body shook violently, and his eyes gradually became normal. 

After gradually regaining consciousness, he remembered everything that happened just now, looked at Zhao Ling in fear, and shouted: "Demon girl, you are a demon girl, you can do magic!"

Zhao Ling was dumbfounded. This was just the most basic method of hypnosis, how could it become sorcery? She also felt that her hypnotism was not at home, otherwise how would the hypnotized person remember what he had said.

"Nonsense, how could my young lady be a demon girl?" Lu Zhu firmly guarded her master and scolded sharply.

Meng Yuan behind him decisively ordered: "Yan Mo, kill him."

She looked back at him, only to see him standing aside with an unbelievable expression on Eunuch Li and said coldly, "Eunuch Li, this king doesn't want others to know what happened just now."

Eunuch Li came back to his senses, gave Zhao Ling a frightened look, and immediately lowered his head and said, "Please rest assured, Lord Xuan, our family didn't see anything just now."

As a senior slave, he certainly knew what to say and what not to say. But his heart couldn't help but tremble.

This Princess Xuan was also too terrifying. She just glanced at him and he answered all her questions. He disclosed everything. What kind of sorcery was that?

Meng Yuan then ordered the other four assassins to be dealt with as well.

After the rectification was completed, the group continued on their way.

In the carriage, Meng Yuan hugged Zhao Ling tightly, his eyebrows frowned slightly, his face condensed, and he seemed to be lost in thought.

Zhao Ling looked at his frowning expression and asked, "A-Yuan, did I do this just now?"

Meng Yuan shook his head, "No, Ling'er, you did a good job. But the method just now should not be used in front of others."

Although he didn't know what method Zhao Ling used just now, he could tell the truth so easily, but he absolutely believed her. Even if Zhao Ling knew magic, he would still love her and pet her, but others wouldn't think the same way. 

The Dasheng Dynasty forbade those things, including magical practices, and things of magic that pretended to be ghosts. If Zhao Ling was known or used by some people with questionable ulterior motives, Zhao Ling would be a very dangerous element, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

"En." Zhao Ling nodded obediently. She knew that Meng Yuan was thinking of her. "But why aren't you curious about the method I used just now? Or do you also think I can use sorcery?"

Meng Yuan pulled her body away, looked into her eyes, and said very seriously: "If Ling'er wants to use this kind of sorcery in the future, this king can find more people to practice for you."

Even if his Ling'er was a demon girl, he would definitely protect her.

Zhao Ling cuddled back into his arms, curled the corners of her mouth, and showed a satisfied smile on her face. She knew that he spoiled her, believed her, and that was enough.

"By the way, do you know where the Shadowless Sect is?" Thinking of the assassin's words just now, Zhao Ling asked.

"I once heard Yun Yi say that it is a killer organization that only recognizes money but not people." Meng Yuan replied concisely.

"That said, it's still impossible to know who is chasing you." Zhao Ling was a little discouraged. Using hypnotism was also very tiring. She didn't expect to spend so much efforts, but it was useless at the end.

"No, the clues Ling'er asked are very useful. Shadowless Gate charges extremely high fees, and very few could afford it. I know exactly who wants my life." Meng Yuan held her arm tightly, and said coldly.

Feeling the coldness radiating from his whole body, Zhao Ling stretched out her arms to wrap his arms around her waist, and said softly, "A-Yuan, I will slowly tell you everything about the world I used to live in in the future."

Although this incident was so incredible, she knew that Meng Yuan would definitely believe her.

"Yeah." Meng Yuan hugged her petite and soft body back, feeling tender in her heart. He believed that his Ling'er must have come from a very special place, that was why she was so different. And he would wait for the day when she opened her heart completely to him without reservation.

The carriage galloped all the way, and a few days later, it arrived outside the city of Shengjing.
