I arranged a marriage for you, not made you invincible under a disguise.

Within a single day, the person hiding behind the scenes who wanted to kill Shen Tu Mo had already added two more commissions.

More each time.

Shen Sixi raised an eyebrow slightly as she looked at the long string of numbers Xiaohua sent.

What grudge could there be? Why are you in such a hurry to kill Shen Tu Mo?

She became increasingly curious about this person and couldn't wait to meet him.

Shen Sixi hesitated for a moment, then sent a message to Xiaohua: 【Have him come see me.】

Xiaohua: [He doesn't want to show his face.]

Shen Sixi: [Tell him that we won't take any action unless he comes to see me, and we won't refund the money.]

This person is unlikely to willingly give up such a large commission for nothing.

As for forcing the Temple of Angels to refund the money—

Few people dare to offend the Temple of Angels.

He either had to accept his bad luck or show up to satisfy Shen Sixi's curiosity.

Xiao Hua didn't think there was anything wrong with what Shen Sixi did. Who told this person to be so unlucky as to hire someone to kill him?

In Xiao Hua's opinion, Shen Sixi was already very kind for not seeking revenge on this person, since this person also wanted to kill Shen Sixi.

Xiaohua: [Yes.]

Shen Sixi exited the chat interface with Xiaohua and opened Shen Tu Rong's text message again.

Shen Tu Rong sent two more messages: "[Sister Xi, it seems something happened to my brother? I saw that Assistant Zhang, who often accompanies him, was injured.]"

Shen Tu Rong: [My brother just told me not to go out casually anymore.]

Shen Sixi paused.

Was someone who was with Shen Tu Mo injured?

Could it be that the person, seeing that the Temple of Angels hadn't taken any action, got impatient and went to find someone else?

Could it have been done by the Temple of Light?

Although Elder Huang said that the people of the Bright Hall only steal things and do not harm people, Elder Huang is not a member of the Bright Hall after all, and his understanding of the Bright Hall is not very deep.

Shen Sixi put away her phone and slowly looked at Hei Mei, the Palace Master of the Bright Palace, who was sitting next to her.

Black Rose is resolute.

With both of her hands immobile, she couldn't help but feel flustered as Shen Sixi stared at her like this.

She recalled the scene not long ago when she deliberately stole Shen Tu Rong's backpack and was caught by Shen Sixi.

Regardless of whether Shen Sixi is intelligent or not, her combat skills are truly high.

She was completely powerless to defend herself against Shen Sixi's attack.

Hei Mei's eyes flickered, and she asked hesitantly, "W-what's wrong?"

Shen Sixi didn't keep them in suspense and asked directly, "Have you received any missions targeting me and the Shentu family?"

Because there was another unfamiliar driver ahead, Shen Sixi spoke very cryptically.

A few years ago, there were many Chinese tourists visiting this place, so many locals can understand basic Chinese.

Hei Mei feigned ignorance: "I don't know. I don't have access to those things. I just do whatever my superiors tell me to do."

Shen Sixi stared at her without saying a word.

Black Rose: "I really don't know!"

Black Rose: "You know my skills. I can't do particularly difficult tasks, and I don't dare to take on particularly difficult tasks. The ones I do most often are like tonight's."

Shen Sixi keenly caught a key word and asked, "What do you mean by 'particularly difficult task'?"

Black Rose paused.

Oh no, I let it slip.

Black Rose lied without batting an eye: "The difficulty of the mission is determined by how easy it is to get close to the target."

Black Rose: "The easier it is to approach the target, the lower the difficulty of the mission; the harder it is to approach the target, the higher the difficulty of the mission."

Black Rose: "That's how it's all decided."

Shen Sixi had already seen through Hei Mei's lie, and asked with a half-smile, arms crossed, "So, I'm considered to have an easy difficulty level?"

Because Black Rose just said she doesn't dare to take on tasks that are too difficult.

Hei Mei choked for a moment, then chuckled awkwardly, "You're not my target tonight."

Hei Mei is now very glad that she started with Shen Tu Rong.

Actually, she was hesitant at first, and several times she wanted to make a move directly on Shen Sixi.

After thinking about it, she decided against it; she didn't want to become enemies with Shen Sixi.

Shen Sixi chuckled.

Hei Mei quickly changed the subject: "What should I do about my hand? When are you going to remove the needle?"

It's not a pleasant feeling to be unable to move both hands.

Hei Mei quickly assured Shen Sixi, "I swear, I won't disturb your rest anymore!"

Black Rose looked completely sincere.

Shen Sixi didn't believe the thief's words.

Shen Sixi looked away, yawned lazily, and said nonchalantly, "When I'm in a better mood."

Black Rose: ...

Black Rose dared not speak out against her anger.

I can't win a fight, and I don't want to run away, so I guess I'll just have to bear it for now.

For the rest of the journey, Black Rose remained remarkably quiet.

About twenty minutes later, the taxi stopped outside the hotel where Shen Sixi was staying.

Hei Mei looked outside, then at Shen Sixi, thinking that Shen Sixi should be willing to remove the needle from the back of her hand now, right?

Shen Sixi ignored Hei Mei's expectant gaze, pushed open the car door and got out, as if she had forgotten that Hei Mei even existed.

Black Rose's expression froze. "Hey!"

Black Rose: "My hand!"

"come back quickly!"

Shen Sixi waved her hand without turning her head.

Hei Mei looked completely bewildered. Had Shen Sixi simply abandoned her here?

The driver in the front seat urged her to get out of the car in the local language.

Black Rose gave an impatient reply, only to find that she could move her hand again.

She was taken aback and stared at the two needles.

What kind of secret technique is this? She has never seen it once in all her years in the Temple of Light.

Not only can it immobilize people, but it can also control time?

If only she could learn this skill, she could use it to punish those under her who didn't obey her.

I wonder if I'll ever have a chance to learn it secretly.

Shen Sixi was unaware of Hei Mei's plans.

Even if she knew, she wouldn't care.

First, it was just a trivial skill for her; second, Black Rose couldn't possibly learn it by stealing it.

She was still thinking about the Hall of Light. Based on what Hei Mei had said not long ago, Shen Sixi was certain that the Hall of Light now was different from the one before.

The Temple of Light is now competing with the Temple of Angels for missions.

Could it be that Hei Mei approached her with the intention of killing her and Shen Tu Mo?

As Shen Sixi was thinking, she heard footsteps behind her.

It was Black Rose. Black Rose could move her hand again, so she pulled out the silver needle herself.

Then, instead of returning the silver needles to Shen Sixi, she quietly kept them for herself.

Hei Mei ran to Shen Sixi's side and walked alongside her.

Hei Mei tentatively asked, "Your move is pretty impressive. Where did you learn it?"

Shen Sixi glanced at her and instantly saw through Hei Mei's thoughts.

Shen Sixi: "What, you want to learn?"

Black Rose paused, then said hesitantly, "I do find it somewhat interesting."

Black Rose: "How do I learn it?"

She asked it as if it were a casual question.

Shen Sixi: "I'll teach you."

Black Rose couldn't believe it: "Are you serious?"

Shen Sixi: "Really."

Hei Mei looked at Shen Sixi with suspicion.

Shen Sixi: "Tuition fee is five million."

Black Rose's eyes lit up, and she quickly said, "Deal!"

The next second, Black Rose was pierced by a new silver needle and could no longer move.

Shen Sixi: "I'll demonstrate this to you this time, so you can gradually get the hang of it."
