Mysterious Shender
⁇ : Caught From The Start

Xi Wei, Ruofan, and Xianwu passed through a second housing row that was longer than the first housing row. However, the second housing row is the closest to Maochang Zhongxin, no wonder that the home row is longer.

Xi Wei walked leisurely and recalled every curve of the Maochang residential row. Just like Xincai and Xiangheng, mature brown-skinned youth are easy to remember things. No wonder the three of them could form such a great alliance.

"Am I allowed to ask about Miss Ruofan's arrival to Maochang?"

Xianwu opened the conversation so that the atmosphere was not too quiet and tense between the three of them.

"Good news, I brought you a Senior Sister whose profession is the same as Senior Brother. The bad news is, I lost track of the Great Princess because there was a Mysterious Swordsman who helped her to get inside and out of the inn."

Xianwu was silent for a while.

"Is Miss Ruofan intending to ask the Chief for help regarding the Grand Princess?"

"I'm just delivering a message from the Crown Prince to the group that the Wanwei Party is running."

"Miss knows that the Chairman thinks there's no connection to the Wanwei Party anymore."

"In that case, why didn't he just quit the Party?"

"The alliance with the Crown Prince does not allow one to go out and enter at will."

"If you get labeled a traitor, Senior Brother's position will also be difficult, won't you?"

Xianwu bit his lower lip and looked agitated. It seems like Ruofan's words. Caozai's position would be difficult if he dared to betray the Crown Prince. The Kingdom will not remain silent about it. Especially Emperor.

But at a glance, Xi Wei could see that Xianwu was grinning sweet meaningfully.

'They are the same. Both are snakes. Of course Wei Caozai already had preparations to avoid losses. Well, then I'll just foil that plan, right?'

Talking about one easy thing, doing it will be very difficult. It also requires very thorough preparation. Xi Wei also had no idea what Wei Caozai was planning.

'Ignore Wei Caozai's plan first. I must focus on this Qingqing rescue mission. If he is still alive, I will hand him over to Li Ying Yue. Even if all that was left was the corpse, I would also have to return it to Li Ying Yue completely. It's gonna be tough. Just hope Wei Caozai is that stupid to be lied to.'

Xi Wei looked at the wide, unbrimmed sky, then realized that the day would soon be heading towards midnight. He's getting a little restless.

Ruofan noticed Xi Wei's uneasiness and directly elbowed the arm of the sapodilla-skinned youth. The Assassin Girl hinted to Xi Wei to disappear and go to the main building first.

Xi Wei stared intently at Ruofan. It was as if he was saying, "Are you sure you want me to go first?". He even got a fierce look in return. That meant Ruofan did not play around with his words. The young man nodded and darted quickly.

Xianwu was unaware of Xi Wei's departure because it was indeed without a sound. Even the shadow was not visible at all.

"It's over!"

Ruofan looked very panicked. He even shouted loudly to distract Xianwu.

"What's up, Miss Ruofan?"

"Xi An! My Senior sister is missing! In Maochang it is very dangerous. There must be a poison plant that so caught his attention that he couldn't bear to not research it."

"Then let it go."

"You know nothing! If the Chairman finds out you're treating Xi An badly, what consequences will you have? Xi An was entrusted to me. I won't stay silent if you mess with him!"

"What do you mean?"

"It's very clever to pretend. Indeed it was Miss Wei Ruofan whom we knew. Guards!"

The people who had been hiding among the housing ranks immediately spread and surrounded Ruofan.

"Well, don't you think we don't know what you've done, Miss. Catch her!"

'From the beginning, it turned out that they deliberately let us in. Ck! So crafty! It is indeed the style of Brother Caozai. Let's hope Big Brother Xi Wei succeeds. Now, it looks like I should focus on saving myself.'

Ruofan jumped on the roof of one of the houses in the housing row. He pulled out a beloved dagger that had accompanied him since he was little.

"Because you want to play rough, then don't blame me for being rude to you too. Come on, let's go for those annoying little pet bugs!"

Xianwu was angry to hear Ruofan call them 'pet little insects'. Then, he grinned coldly.

"You all got him! I don't care if you have to kill him. Traitors should not be allowed to live, you hear?!"

'This will be very troublesome ....'

Meanwhile, Xi Wei moved quickly and managed to enter the main building. As Ruofan and Xiangheng said, there were two passageways after entering the main building.

'As Ruofan said, I must choose the left lane.'

Just as Xi Wei was about to turn, he could see that there was a sparkling object. He stopped immediately. Almost once his head was cut off and severed from its place due to the thin transparent thread.

Xi Wei looked at the countless threads attached along the passageway. Then there was someone who approached her and clapped. Of course he knows who that guy is. Who else if not Wei Caozai.

"As the Crown Prince says, you are great, Eternal Swordsman."

Xi Wei did not turn around at all. He also forgot to put his robe back on because there was no time. Fortunately, the black hair wig is still attached. He is also good at changing his voice.

"That's what made Chairman Maochang recognize me as the Eternal Swordsman. I'm just a weak man working for the Great Princess."

"Enough bases. You're gonna die in this place. Grand Princess Li Ying Yue will never see you back!"

Xi Wei smirked sweetly mocking Caozai with his words that were impossible to be taken seriously by the sapodilla-skinned young man. The young man yawned widely as a sign that he was not interested in Caozai.

Xi Wei also did not say anything to Caozai. It was obvious that the Young Man was ignoring a Maochang Chief. It made Caozai angry at him.

Xi Wei looked closely at how many threads were attached along the passageway. But he can predict that the thread is there to the end.

Xi Wei played the dagger in his hand. A second later he darted forward and cut the threads that were before him. Everything was cut off without rest. Even the thread that was parallel to his feet.

Caozai gaped at the 'ghost' that cut through all the threads without leaving a single one intact.

'Is the Eternal Swordsman still a human being? Want a human, or a Devil, or a God, he should not be allowed to live and ruin everything!'

Caozai clenched his hands tightly.
