The sect is full of evildoers, but I am the eldest brother.

Gu Yi had more or less heard something about the cruel competition within the Anxiang Valley.

Same as reselling information.

Assassin is also a high-risk industry with high returns.

Tianji Pavilion is the one that can take the intelligence business to the top.

Naturally, the representative of the assassin profession is Anxiang Valley!

He thought to himself that every assassin in the valley who could stand on his own was carefully trained since childhood, stepped on the corpses of countless disciples, and experienced countless life-and-death battles before he got to the top.

Wan Ruofeng was able to become the number one assassin in secret.

The blood on his hands is even more than that of any random evil cultivator.

However, most of the people slaughtered by the evil cultivators were ordinary people without spiritual power, but those assassinated by Wan Ruofeng were at least the heads of third-rate families.

The target of the last assassination attempt was Hong Jun, the direct disciple of the Peerless King of the Aurora Holy Land, who is also... the current Lord Zi Qi Dong Lai!

It is said that Wan Ruofeng almost succeeded in the assassination that year.

No! It should be said that Wan Ruofeng had already succeeded!

He waited for an opportunity, taking the enemy by surprise, and even to ensure that he could kill him with one blow, he voluntarily discarded his weapon, used himself as bait, and pierced Hong Jun's left atrium directly with a knife.

I just didn't expect it...

Those cold eyes never revealed any other unusual emotions.

At that time, Wan Ruofeng had become the top assassin on the assassin list. He believed that he had carried out countless assassinations and had never failed. He had long been as hard as stone and would no longer be shaken by the outside world.

But after meeting her eyes, he felt as if he had become insignificant. Fear, which he hadn't felt in a long time, filled his body and mind like a tide...

It was obvious that the two people's cultivation levels were almost the same, and he stabbed Hong Jun's heart with a knife, and blood was visibly flowing out of the flesh.

However, instead of showing any sign of decadence, the other party's spreading primordial purple energy actually became thicker in an instant, surrounding him from all directions.

[Are you brave enough?...]

Hearing Hong Jun's understatement.

Wan Ruofeng knew that his assassination mission had failed...

He succeeded countless times.

But this one failure made him lose everything...

But it’s okay, at least I’m still alive.

What he lost were exactly what Wan Ruofeng was tired of.

And after this incident.

He was also able to see the true faces of those people in Anxiang Valley.

A bunch of bastards who cross the river and destroy the bridge...

Even a weirdo who was still alive and well after being stabbed in the heart couldn't take down your Grandpa Wan. How can you, a few old guys, take Grandpa Wan's life?

It's just wishful thinking!

Then Wan Ruofeng set fire to Anxiang Valley and escaped in the chaos.

"Where are you going next?"

Gu Yi asked.

Seeing that the other party really had no ill intentions, Wan Ruofeng slowly relaxed his guard. He took stock of what he had gained today and said nonchalantly, "I don't know. Anywhere is fine."

"Anyway...as long as no one recognizes me."

"But there is one thing I am confused about."

Wan Ruofeng looked at Gu Yi, genuinely puzzled: "How did you recognize me?"

"Looking at you, you don't look like someone from the Anxiang clan. Aside from that last time I failed, I've never shown my face in public. How on earth did you recognize me?"

"Are you sure you've never been in public?"

Gu Yi asked back with a smile.

Hearing this, Wan Ruofeng pondered for a moment, "There have been a few times, but the one that left the deepest impression on me was when I ran into two scoundrels who started fighting over a disagreement..."

"But apart from that, the other times were all women..."

"Could it be... you! You actually!"

Wan Ruofeng looked as if he had seen a ghost, and looked at Gu Yi with eyes full of disbelief.

"I... well, forget it. As the saying goes, why bother knowing each other before we meet?"

Gu Yi didn't bother to argue with Wan Ruofeng about whether he was a man or a woman, and said bluntly: "You are a talent. Your wisdom and talent should not be buried like this."

"Now that you know who I am, what do you think..."

Wan Ruofeng raised a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth: "Do I look like someone who is willing to submit to others?"

"I have some connections in Xiaoyao Tower."

"Xiaoyao Tower is fine. When can you take me there to register?"

Gu Yi:...

This face changes faster than turning the pages of a book...

The former number one assassin in Anxiang Valley, is this all he has now?

"Do you know Xiaoyao Tower?"

“I don’t accept everyone…”

Gu Yi said embarrassedly: "Look at you now. Your cultivation is not good enough. Your physical condition is so bad that you will start panting after walking a few steps... I can introduce you to the boss of the building. As for whether you can find a job for yourself, it depends on you."

“Friend, although I am now lonely, my strength and status are not as good as before.”

Wan Ruofeng raised the corner of his mouth and said confidently, "But don't forget, I am still the same person as before. If I can meet the boss, it will only be an errand. Don't underestimate me."

"Oh yeah, who is the boss now? How strong is he?"

"I know the second-in-command is Master Yu, and he has been missing for a long time. I remember the first-in-command who is above the second-in-command, and he seems to be an acquaintance."

“Who on earth is that…?”

"There is no order of seniority among the heads of Xiaoyao Tower; they just have different positions. The current head is the former white-haired madman."

Gu Yi said calmly: "When his whole family was killed, your Anxiang Valley played a role."

"It turns out it's him..."

The hope that had just risen fell to the bottom at this moment and eventually died out.

Wan Ruofeng had also heard something about this matter.

Having said that, the role played by Anxiang Valley in the case of the massacre was minimal, and its contribution can even be ignored.

Otherwise, the white-haired madman would have come to the door long ago.

"I remember there is a fourth boss, right?"

Wan Ruofeng still had some hope: "Can you avoid the white-haired madman and let me face the Fourth Master face to face? With my ability, it's just a job, easy to get!"

"The fourth master is the daughter of the Shen family from the desert area of ​​the Western Heaven Region."

Gu Yi smiled playfully, "My grandmother was killed by an assassin from your Anxiang Valley. It is said that the Fourth Master witnessed it with his own eyes when he was a child."

"Then...what about the Third Master?"

Wan Ruofeng swallowed and continued asking.

"The true identity of the Third Master is the man who died in Beixuan."

Gu Yi suddenly sneered, unable to hold it back, and said with a smile: "That's right, one of those two scoundrels who got into a fight over a disagreement."

"Besides these few, strictly speaking, there's another unknown Fifth Master. You know him too. He was the one who beat you the most fiercely among those two scoundrels back then."

"I'd better look somewhere else..."

Wan Ruofeng had lost all confidence, and a hint of bitterness appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Thus, he gave up the idea of ​​working in Xiaoyao Tower.

Although he was engaged in the intelligence business, he had some knowledge of Xiaoyao Tower, but he had only heard of it and had not learned about it in depth.

The news of the second-in-command's disappearance was only mentioned casually by a friend when he visited him.

Looking back to the past, before Wan Ruofeng was deposed by Donglai Jun, Xiaoyao Tower was just a small, unknown teahouse that had to pay rent to the landlord.

He was the earliest famous prodigy, even earlier than Qianji Bailian of Bailian Pavilion!

He has shown amazing talent since he was young and is engaged in the assassination industry. People may not have heard of his name, but most people have heard that there is a King of Hell code-named "Shadow" in Anxiang Valley.

At that time, there was a saying in the Central Plains that was widely circulated among people.

The King of Hell sentences you to death at three o'clock in the morning, and Shadow will send you to the Naihe Bridge at two o'clock.

When Wan Ruofeng became famous, Bai Fa Kuangdu was still just a "little brother", the kind of "little brother" who followed the Goddess of Hua Palace, learning and practicing Taoism.

There is no need to say much about Gu Yi and Ye Yongzhen. They are still waiting in line in the underworld to be reincarnated.

But it also proves that saying.

Talented people emerge in every generation. Wan Ruofeng survived the golden age when talented people emerged in large numbers, but he could not persevere to the end.

One failure, everything is gone.

He was the first one to be eliminated.

"what ever."

Gu Yi didn't force it, and continued, "Each year ago, an incident forced Xiaoyao Tower to stop its intelligence business. If a talented person could come forward and relaunch this business, perhaps he could be promoted to the head of the building in the future."

"Where can I find such talent..."

"With Xiaoyao Tower as my backer, I don't have to hide all the time..."

"Oh, yes, the two heads of Xiaoyao Tower are now at odds with Anxiang Valley. At this point, they are no longer afraid of this assassin organization that only hides in the shadows..."

"It seems that the boss broke through to the state of unity of thoughts ten years ago..."

"that."

Wan Ruofeng scratched his cheek, turned his head and looked away, then changed his words, "Although I am from the Dark Fragrance Valley, I have now left the organization and am being hunted by the organization because of it. And you see, I haven't done anything to offend those two masters. With my abilities, perhaps... I should be able to train a team of elite soldiers for Xiaoyao Tower to gather intelligence."

"Whether you can do it or not doesn't count for me, and neither does the two bosses."

Gu Yi first pointed at his own eyes, then turned to Wan Ruofeng, "The public's eyes are sharp. If you can use your strength to dispel all doubts and gain everyone's recognition, I think Xiaoyao Tower might be able to set up a 'shadow organization' specifically for gathering intelligence."

If Xiaoyao Tower can restart the intelligence business.

If you want to know something in the future, you don’t have to go to the City of Trading or spend a lot of money to find the Tianji Pavilion that likes to talk nonsense.

The trading city is barely feasible, but Tianji Pavilion is really a loss!

Asking for an exorbitant price is one thing.

Whether the calculation is accurate is another matter.

“Flowers may bloom again, but people never become young again.”

Gu Yi muttered this sentence, then shook his head and denied it: "No, no, no, a man is a boy until he dies. Only sissies and cowards are cowards."

"That's not right. A sissy isn't necessarily a coward, but a coward..."

He looked calmly at Wan Ruofeng, who was lost in thought, and said, "He must be a coward!"

"Deal closed."

"It's time for me to leave and go to the next place to continue inquiring."

Gu Yi stood up calmly and walked towards the door with his hands behind his back, but just as he stretched out his hand and was about to touch the door, a voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"How about we make a deal?"

"trade?"

Gu Yi turned around in surprise.

"Yes, it's a deal."

Wan Ruofeng faced Gu Yi and said with his head held high: "You used your connections to let me meet the head of Xiaoyao Tower. Ten years later, I will return you a 'Shadow Organization'."

"This way, if I want to get information in the future, I won't have to run around like this and do everything myself."

In ten years, Xiaoyao Tower has gained a shadow organization dedicated to intelligence.

This means that the former number one assassin in Anxiang Valley not only has to scout and train talents for ten years, but also has to achieve results that are recognized by everyone within ten years.

"The transaction failed."

"I volunteer to serve as a handyman in Xiaoyao Tower for the rest of my life. How about that?"

"I've talked about the good things, what about the bad things?"

"Please, I was once the top assassin, 'Shadow'. Xiaoyao Tower is really worth it to have such a talent like me!"

Gu Yi smiled and shook his head. "How about this? I'll use my connections to introduce you to the head of Xiaoyao Tower. In ten years, you can create a 'Shadow Organization'."

"If so, the transaction is complete. Otherwise, if it fails..."

"If I fail, I won't have the face to live in this world."

Wan Ruofeng quickly replied, "Just as you said. You can use your connections to introduce me to the head of Xiaoyao Tower. Ten years later, I will personally build a 'Shadow Organization'."

"This time I will use my life as the price of the transaction."

"If you fail, you can take this life."

At this moment, Wan Ruofeng seemed to have transformed back into the former number one assassin of the Dark Fragrance Valley. He said with great vigor and enthusiasm, "Life is like a game of chess. Every move you make... should have no regrets!"

Gu Yi calmly stretched out his right hand.

Wan Ruofeng picked up a bag of gold and treasures and threw it into Gu Yi's hands.

Before the transaction, no matter what the final result is, you must prepare a gift money. This is the rule.

Thus, the ceremony is completed.

A ten-year transaction officially begins from this moment on.

Gu Yi took the black love order belonging to the fifth leader.

Just throw it away.

It just fell on Wan Ruofeng's raised right hand.

"Xiaoyao Tower is currently short of staff, so we should set off as soon as possible."

Gu Yi collected the gift money and turned around to say, "Seeing the token is like seeing the person. With this token, if anyone disobeys, it would be a violation of the rules. When meeting the boss, remember to hand over the token."

"This token does not belong to you."

"If you want it, go to the future and get it yourself."

"hope......"

"This transaction can be completed smoothly."

After saying that, Gu Yi opened the door of the private room and left without looking back.

Wan Ruofeng stood there, quietly looking at the Wu Qing Ling in his hand. After a long moment, he suddenly smiled and said, "It's just one failure, what's that?"

“It takes all the courage it takes to start over again!”
