The Assassin Guild did not have much work so Chu Xin looked idle at the moment. He relaxed at home while lazily lying down. It feels very peaceful without having to follow complicated-minded people.

But the peace ended when the door of his house was opened roughly by a group of butterflies who infiltrated in. The butterfly scattered towards Chu Xin, scaring her to death until it had to jump from the long chair.

He thought which monster broke through his house for breakfast until the unprepared Chu Xin was scared to death and cornered. When the horde of butterflies lifted its body and dragged it outside, Chu Xin only realized who was bullying her.

"Chairman Su, what do you want from me!"

This was already the umpteenth time Su Churan forced Chu Xin to go out. The poor woman was taken by a group of butterflies to the outer courtyard, then dropped to the ground.

The figure of Su Churan emerged from the group of butterflies. He patted his hands like he was patting dust, then looked at Chu Xin who was complaining on the ground.

"Hey, that's not a bed. I know you're lazy, but at least don't sleep on the ground!" Su Churan sneered.

Chu Xin cried in her heart and immediately stood up. In this condition, he does not need to be polite to the woman there is no morality. "Who do you think made me sleep on the ground?"

Su Churan grimaced, then grabbed Chu Xin's arm. "I need your help."

"What's that?" Chu Xin was actually lazy. He could not serve Gu Yuena in Wyvernia so was given a holiday. He's been waiting for today. But Su Churan was even interrupting her holiday!

Su Churan did not say what kind of help. The woman directly brought Chu Xin lightning-fast to Wyvernia.

Chu Xin did not know what way Su Churan used, but he felt his stomach churn and nausea as the wind blew along with the intoxicating fragrance of flowers. When he arrived, he vomited.

"Just a little tektik displacement has been like this, what a pity." Su Churan clucked pitifully.

Chu Xin disliked and could only snort. He stood up straight, then faced the hard-to-read Su Churan. "What am I supposed to do here?"

Su Churan still did not say his purpose. He took Chu Xin by the hand, then walked through the capital. They did not talk all the way, whereas Chu Xin who put on a wrinkled face could do nothing but sigh the entire time.

Until finally they arrived in front of a residence that was quite large and luxurious. The gate was even fit for an enormous level 4 monster to enter.

Su Churan finally said, "Count Erizra is a supporter of the noble faction. The impact is quite large. I thought, I can help Xiao Yuena through it."

Chu Xin still did not understand why Su Churan needed him. He is not involved in politics and understands nothing. What he can help. The king said he could not help.

"What can I do?" ask Chu Xin.

Su Churan smiled. "You just need to be my mouthpiece."

"Speak teacher?!" Chu Xin was not in a state of mind. His day off was cut just to be a spokesperson? Isn't that too ridiculous?

"It's not a trivial thing." Su Churan. He was forced to explain, "Count Erizra is my ex, I cannot speak directly and must be accompanied by you. I'm ...."

"You're afraid of getting carried away again?" Chu Xin rolled her eyes. "Why don't you ask King Yun to help you? He's more reliable."

"No way, he's a king. It is inappropriate to lower self-esteem to come to the place of a Count just to be a spokesperson."

"You even humbled yourself to go to the residence of a Count who was your ex. The Queen can handle her affairs, not need your Count's help. Just tell me you want to fix your relationship with him."

"Not that!" Su Churan hurriedly explained, "How can I mend a relationship with a married person? I'm not that low!"

"Then what are you doing here? Do you have a plan?"

"Xiao Yuena intended to make Alfonso a scapegoat and pitted the Emperor against him. The family of Count Erizra's wife is on the side of the emperor's faction, I just want to make use of it."

"Isn't that immoral?" Chu Xin sighed, "Come on, you are the soft-hearted Su Churan, where can it be like the Queen?"

"Are you praising me or insulting me?"

"Take both."

Su Churan snorted. "I really want to help Xiao Yuena. The palace felt empty without him. I want him back quickly!"

Chu Xin sighed and muttered, "I am too."

The two women became like a strange person standing in front of a house of aimless people. Su Churan locked up her intention of using her ex for work. He decided not to get in touch with her anymore. No need to plan.

"Let's go, I'll show you an art show at the stadium." Su Churan returned with Chu Xin to leave. Mood's messy.

But when he was about to leave, the other hand was stopped by someone who suddenly came closer. Su Churan was silent.

"Chu Xin, are you the one who refused to leave?" ask Su Churan.

"You are an Elder. Despite asking me to plunge, I can somehow refuse you," Chu Xin replied. He felt the presence of someone behind him, then looked. "Well, it looks like your ex is back together."

Su Churan frowned. There was another person behind him, holding his arm. He also looked back. The next second, his expression froze.

When did that guy show up?

"Qin Chuan." Alves looked at him with a feeling of pleasure. He did not expect Su Churan to be in front of his house, meeting him.

Su Churan looked towards the hand that was holding her. Alves immediately took off his grasp, while Su Churan became awkward. Chu Xin on the other hand became a mosquito.

"Am I the one who is this single," Chu Xin murmured.

"Qin Chuan, how are you?" Alves asked with a warm smile. A smile that even his own wife could not see.

Su Churan felt very guilty. "Very good." He pulled the corner of his lips to smile despite feeling awkward, "Count Erizra, why are you here?"

"I should have asked you that. Why are you here? In front of my mansion?"

"I .. just passing by."

"Get through?"

Su Churan nodded, then shook her head. That made Alves confused, even Chu Xin had already put on a flat face for him.

"I originally wanted to ask you a few things, but it didn't seem necessary."

Alves seemed to understand what Su Churan wanted to ask. Su Churan was Elder Su of Tianshuang Palace. While the ruling couple of Tianshuang Palace were at Duke Elberg's Residence. Their queen is Princess Valentina.

It was a bit sad knowing Su Churan was coming for work, not for him. But it's fine. As long as he could see Su Churan, he was already very happy.

"Didn't you want to come in? I'll watch you well."

Su Churan looked at the gate with a foreign look, then shook her head slowly. "no need. At first I just wanted to send my subordinates to talk because it was too busy. I have to go."

"Then ...."

"Oh yes, Countess Erizra had a family that belonged to the emperor faction. You know what that means." Su Churan gave a warning.

"I knew. Just relax, I won't disappoint. After all, Queen Tianshuang had already made a long-term plan." At least for Su Churan. He already knew how crazy Su Churan's superior was. He wanted to bring Su Churan out of such an environment, it must have been very burdensome. But unfortunately, he cannot.

"That's great." Su Churan pulled Chu Xin back, then left with an awkward feeling.

Chu Xin who was not used to seeing the awkward Su Churan directly pulled the meat on her waist. Su Churan almost squealed if there were no Alves waiting behind her.

Chu Xin scowled, while Su Churan cursed inwardly. He looked towards Alves again, then became awkward back with a smile. Chu Xin also sangaja stomped her feet.

"This is the work of mosquitoes." Chu Xin was astonished when she saw Su Churan enduring the pain with a bitter smile. He looks like he wants to curse or yell, but has to keep a face in front of his ex.

If Alves knew Su Churan's madness, perhaps he would be very surprised. Usually Su Churan looked graceful and godly, not at all dilapidated in front of her.

"Chairman Su, have you ever slept with him? Your attitude is very strange."

Su Churan turned her head towards Chu Xin with a hideous smile. "Didn't you want your blood?"

"I'm just asking ...." Chu Xin chills.

Su Churan sighed. "Don't talk nonsense. I never slept with anyone."

"What about a kiss?"

"...."

"Okay, I'm wrong."

Su Churan did not quibble which meant that they had indeed kissed. Just natural. They almost got married, you know.

What's there to be in question?

"Do you know King Yun?"

Su Churan felt like sealing that mouth. "What does this have to do with King Yun?"

Chu Xin frowned, looking solemn. "Are you not very close? Didn't you say that your first kiss was with Count Erizra?"

"My first kiss was not with Count Erizra, but with a tree." In front of Bai Youzhe anyway. "One more time, Yun Qiao and I aren't that close."

Chu Xin sneered. What's not close? He noticed that the two sometimes drank together and told each other stories. In addition, Su Churan also often helped Yun Qiao to overcome the problems of Yuansu Palace. What is not close?

"Say prestige" he murmured.

"I told you, I'm not close to him." Su Churan turned out to still be able to hear Chu Xin mutter and sneer.

"Alright Elder Su, this subordinate believes." Chu Xin said half-heartedly.

Su Churan suddenly halted her steps and pulled Chu Xin who was about to be breached by the horse that was running in the middle of the road. Chu Xin was also startled, then looked towards a galloping horse. Seemed rushed.

"That's Prince Alfonso." Su Churan suddenly showed a slanted smile. "It looks like the game's about to start."

"We're going to watch?"

"And support from behind," Su Churan continued, then pulled Chu Xin following towards the palace.

The horse ran towards the palace at high speed. After hearing the news from the palace as well as the call by the Emperor, Alfonso immediately came with a restless heart.

There must be something wrong. Valentina appeared at times like this, Earl Mandey was killed in a tragic and threatening manner, then the Emperor called out to her. This must be Elberg's woman's game.

Arriving at the palace, he immediately stepped inside. The working servants as well as the guards saluted him without daring to stare at his pair of red irises.

The golden-striped man arrived at the hall and saw the Emperor sitting on his seat of greatness gallantly. The current emperor was already quite old, if he was already in his 50s and had a lot of worries. Especially with the recent tragedy.

"Where have you been?" ask Emperor.

Alfonso immediately knelt down and replied, "In response to His Majesty, this prince was in the northern border city bringing in reinforcements from the monster attack. Monsters in the region were extremely aggressive and difficult to deal with, so imperial knights had to come as reinforcements. In these two days, the monster was successfully repulsed."

"Two days? Are you sure?" The emperor asked again.

Alfonso grew increasingly agitated and replied with a mantab. "Yes, Your Majesty."

"It was a good effort." The emperor appreciated. "Is there anything else you want to say?"

Alfonso thought for a moment, "Nothing, Your Majesty."

"really?" He looked at Alfonso's restless face, as if he had planned something.

The Emperor's face was increasingly unsightly. Just yesterday Duke Elberg announced a new member named Valentina who is the daughter of Princess Vanya. He was the grandson of the previous emperor and was the nephew of the emperor. Moreover, he had the physical characteristics of a candidate for the throne.

Duke Elberg had actually shown his fangs through the announcement.

Two days ago was the death of Earl Mandey. Earl Mandey came from a faction of nobles who worked directly under the Emperor to become spies. He died, the same as challenging the Emperor.

Earl Mandey gave information to Alfonso back then. Forget about the monsters in the eastern region, Alfonso did not have to come there. He said he had been killing monsters for two days, while two days ago was his day going north. Enough to make excuses.

The eastern region is not too far from the capital. It takes at least a week to travel by horse. But since Alfonso was the owner of the power of space and time, he could switch places briefly. Just to the eastern region, it doesn't take two hours to travel.

Alfonso deserves to be a suspect in Earl Mandey's murder. Even with her current appearance, she looked like she was hiding a lot of things behind her obedience. The emperor was skeptical of him.

"Go." The Emperor let him go for now. He will monitor further.

Alfonso left with a myriad of questions on his mind. Did the Emperor suspect he had killed the Earl after getting the information? Isn't it too ridiculous?

He does get information. About Valentina's recent plans. He had heard of many things happening in the capital such as the assault on the prince, the divorce of the princess, to some strange deaths. That must be part of Valentina's plan. If the Emperor found out, he was afraid that Valentina would get what she wanted.

Acting blatantly like that, wasn't it to show it to the Emperor? The Emperor will definitely target him. But the current position of the Emperor is extreme amid the pros and cons of the society. If he were to reveal Valentina's plans, it would be that the woman had an ace after Earl Mandey's unnatural death. He could not tell the Emperor, or it would be a boomerang for himself.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

The soul stone was carefully examined during leisure time. It had been two days that Gu Yuena tried to find out what the intent of Gu Yuan was to give her this. But still can't break it.

He noticed the soul stone in his hand, then kept it when he heard someone approaching his room. He turned around to look at Bai Youzhe who had entered the room.

"I haven't seen you since morning. Is there a problem?" ask Gu Yuena.

Bai Youzhe walked over with an uneasy look before tightly hugging Gu Yuena. "I have to go."

"Why?"

"This time is neither the Underworld nor the Tianshuang Palace. I can't explain it."

"Then, I just have to wait for you to come back. That's all, isn't it?" Gu Yuena was getting used to it. Bai Youzhe had her own problems that could not be said to Gu Yuena. Gu Yuena would not force him to tell a story.

"I will return as soon as possible, at least before you settle your matters with the imperial family."

"I understand."

Bai Youzhe looked at that beautiful red iris, then smiled. "I'll meet you for the umpteenth time."

Gu Yuena nodded. Bai Youzhe could leave, meaning to believe that Gu Yuena would be fine here. Although Duke Elberg could not be completely trusted, Bai Youzhe still had many people to guard Gu Yuena.

He kissed her forehead for a few seconds, then hugged her again and buried her face in Gu Yuena's neck. He really did not want to leave, but there was a call that kept haunting him repeatedly.

Sometimes Gu Yuena wondered what Bai Youzhe was doing out there. Is it too dangerous to know? Gu Yuena thought, he would know everything if it was strong enough. But it wasn't enough.

Although Bai Youzhe would answer when asked, Gu Yuena did not want to always press him with questions. He wanted Bai Youzhe to initiatively say it without coercion.

When Bai Youzhe went away, Gu Yuena only looked in silence. Blurry views. The figure is increasingly invisible even though the features are still there. The longer, Gu Yuena's gaze also grew darker.

He lowered his gaze, then squeezed the edge of his clothes in agitation. "I'm afraid .. can't see you anymore."

He hoped that Bai Youzhe would come before his sight completely disappeared. In this way, he had a chance to see that face for the last time.
