After being forced into a marriage of convenience, a master of metaphysics manipulates a cold and al

"Dead? How did you die?"

After hearing Shen Lu's report, both Ye Bai and Qin Wanqing looked rather grim.

Ye Bai was not surprised that the Qin family bodyguards were able to catch the knife-wielding assassin.

Although this person's throwing knives are formidable, his hand-to-hand combat skills are probably just average.

Specializing in one weapon is not easy; it requires a lot of time and effort.

Very few people can achieve the best in every aspect.

Judging from the knife-throwing assassin's performance on stage, he clearly only had eleven throwing knives in his hand.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have chosen to slink away and let the mission fail.

That's why Ye Bai wasn't worried at all.

Without the throwing knife, Shen Lu could have taken care of him all by herself, not to mention the eight Qin family bodyguards she had with her!

Don't be fooled by the fact that this little girl is completely powerless against Lu Sita, and can't even withstand a single move.

That's not because Shen Lu is weak, but because the scoundrels of the Xuanmen are too strong!

The knife-throwing assassin was not even in the same league as the black-robed Taoist priest.

But the man was caught, only to die in the end, which was truly unexpected by Ye Bai.

"He had a poison sac in his mouth and committed suicide by poisoning himself..."

Shen Lu's face turned pale, and she spoke in a trembling voice.

Although she had practiced martial arts since childhood and had fought with others many times, this was the first time she had ever seen a dead person, so she was naturally afraid.

"It's my fault for forgetting to remind you... You two stay here, I'll go check on things."

Ye Bai sighed, rubbed Shen Lu's head to comfort her, and had a Qin family bodyguard take her to the car to see the body.

Sure enough, the cause of death was the same as Shen Lu had said.

The knife-throwing assassin was missing a tooth, which was replaced by a specially made poison sac.

If you bite into it, you will die instantly from the poison.

From this perspective, Ye Bai's initial judgment was correct; this knife-throwing assassin was indeed a standard suicide squad member.

What puzzled him was that since he already had the conviction to die, why didn't he continue to attack Qin Wanqing on stage?

Although he no longer had throwing knives in his hand, it only took him a moment to rush to Qin Wanqing's side and pull the knives out of the wooden disc.

What Ye Bai didn't know was that the reason the knife-throwing assassin didn't choose to do so was because he was terrified of him.

Knowing full well that an unfathomable master was secretly protecting Qin Wanqing, if the assassin still chose to continue, what difference would there be between him and an idiot?

The wisest course of action, of course, is to escape.

Although assassins are not afraid of death, they would naturally not want to die if they could avoid it.

Everyone wants to live, not just as a last resort.

"It's hopeless. We can only try to find something out from their personal information, but I doubt it..."

Returning to Qin Wanqing's side, Ye Bai shook his head helplessly.

He felt somewhat guilty, because he had been so focused on being wary of other assassins who might be hiding in the shadows that he had forgotten to remind Shen Lu and the others that the other party might have a poison sac in their mouth.

In addition, these bodyguards from the Qin family all looked very professional, and Ye Bai felt that they should also know this kind of common sense.

Unexpectedly, an accident still occurred.

But now that things have come to this, blaming anyone is pointless.

Most importantly, the Queen of Qin was unharmed, which is better than anything else.

Qin Wanqing clearly shared this thought, shaking her head and saying, "It's alright. No matter who the mastermind is, they'll eventually show their true colors. Now, you all go and help me find another person."

"Who else are you looking for?"

Ye Bai and Shen Lu looked at each other in bewilderment, while the Qin family bodyguards were even more confused.

"Find the mysterious master who secretly saved me! I have a feeling he should still be here..."

Qin Wanqing's beautiful eyes sparkled with admiration. Thinking back to the situation on the stage, she felt fortunate and, more importantly, endless gratitude towards the expert who saved her.

She had no doubt that she could not have survived without him.

"Miss, I'll save you..."

Shen Lu looked blankly at him, and was about to say, "The person who saved you, Miss, is the young master?" But before she could say it, Ye Bai gave her a wink, interrupting her.

"You should indeed thank this expert; he's your savior! But there are hundreds of people in the studio; without a distinguishing feature, it might be difficult to find him..."

Ye Bai's expression was very strange, and his tone was also a bit odd, because he had to force himself not to laugh out loud.

Seeing Ye Bai's expression, Shen Lu realized that her son-in-law was deliberately teasing her.

So after rolling her eyes cutely, she didn't expose him, but instead nodded in agreement.

"That's true... but what features could they possibly have..."

Qin Wanqing didn't notice Ye Bai and Shen Lu's strange behavior; instead, she actually started thinking hard.

Seeing the adorable way Queen Qin was frowning and trying to figure things out, Ye Bai's lips twitched incessantly, and he couldn't help but want to laugh out loud.

Shen Lu was slightly better, but her face was full of worry.

He and his son-in-law played pranks on the young lady, making her feel like a little traitor.

"Have it!"

At this moment, Qin Wanqing suddenly let out a soft exclamation, saying confidently, "I think that person must be tall, handsome, and dashing. He's very likely the legendary 'Melon Seed Hero'! His weapon is melon seeds!"

"Pfft...hahahahahaha..."

Before Qin Wanqing could finish speaking, Ye Bai couldn't help but burst out laughing, rubbing his stomach incessantly, unable to straighten up at all.

He really didn't want to laugh, but he just couldn't help it.

What the hell is this "Sunflower Seed Hero" nickname? Is that a nickname a normal person would come up with?

Besides, there are many kinds of melon seeds, so even if there really is a melon seed master, should it be a sunflower seed master or a pumpkin seed master?

Or perhaps the Watermelon Seed Hero?

The more Ye Bai thought about it, the more he wanted to laugh, and the more he laughed, the more he couldn't stop, until tears streamed down his face from laughing.

But he had to admit that Qin Wanqing's nose was quite sharp; she could even smell the sunflower seeds.

"Hey Ye, are you out of your mind? What's so funny about this?"

Seeing Ye Bai laughing like he was having an epileptic seizure, Qin Wanqing's pretty face darkened instantly, and she said angrily, "You're a grown man, and my husband at that. It's one thing if you can't protect me, but now I want to repay my savior, and you're still laughing at me? Are you even human?"

"The difference between people is truly enormous. Compared to the legendary Melon Seed Hero, someone like you is utterly worthless!"

Because of her anger, Qin Wanqing spoke very harshly.

"Ah, yes, yes, you're absolutely right... Hahahaha..."

To Qin Wanqing's surprise, Ye Bai not only didn't argue with her this time, but laughed even harder.

"Ye Bai! If you laugh again, believe me, I'll divorce you right now!"

Qin Wanqing's beautiful eyes flashed with anger; she was completely enraged.

"Miss, Miss, please don't be angry. There's a reason why the young master was smiling..."

Seeing that the young lady was really angry, Shen Lu, who had originally planned to play along with the young master for a while longer, panicked and hurriedly began to explain.

"What reason could there be! Lulu, are you going to take Ye's side at a time like this?"

Qin Wanqing gritted her teeth, finding Ye Bai increasingly annoying.

Lulu was originally such a well-behaved little girl, but this guy has corrupted her.

"No, no, Miss, you've misunderstood! It's like this, the person who saved you is the young master, he's the very same Melon Seed Hero you're looking for!!"

Shen Lu quickly said.

"What did you say? Ye Bai... is... is that Melon Seed Hero?"

Qin Wanqing's delicate body trembled, and she was immediately dumbfounded, revealing an expression as if she had seen a ghost.

"...I've got sunflower seeds all over your faces!"

Hearing the two of them calling him "Melon Seed Hero" over and over again, Ye Bai immediately stopped finding it funny.

He suddenly realized that he had become part of the joke...
