Assassin Wu Liuqi starts with a bull and horse talisman and smashes Red Fang.

At this moment, the entire peach tree emitted a faint, bluish-green light.

As the dim light gathered, the silhouette of a woman appeared.

She possessed unparalleled beauty that could topple kingdoms and make fish sink and geese fall from the sky, yet her eyes lacked any sparkle.

The red spider lily standing to the side was stunned.

How could she not recognize that figure?!

On that very day, the woman took in him, who was starving and emaciated.

The woman gave all her food to the red spider lilies.

And it was this woman who taught her to play the pipa and use hidden weapons.

At the same time, the woman told the young Manjusaka that the red spider lily, just like her hair color, actually comes in white and red varieties.

Red spider lilies come from the underworld, while white spider lilies bloom in heaven.

Therefore, the red spider lily needles are used to kill enemies, while the white spider lily needles are used for healing.

This person is none other than Nangong Zhaoyue, the famous courtesan of Xuanwu Kingdom.

When Manjusaka saw Nangong Zhaoyue again, she was so moved that she burst into tears.

"elder sister!!"

Just as she was about to leap into the other person's arms, she found herself missing.

“Miss Manjusaka, she is merely the soul of your elder sister.”

"Because she has never let go of her feelings for Sanders, she has now become the earthbound spirit of this peach tree."

At this moment, Nangong Zhaoyue also noticed Manjusaka. Although her eyes were still lifeless, she still smiled and waved to her.

"You've grown so much taller, have you been eating and sleeping well?"

Upon hearing this, Manjusaka could no longer suppress her emotions and burst into tears.

She is no longer the cold-blooded, ruthless shadow assassin; she has returned to being the clingy little girl who used to follow Nangong Zhaoyue around.

Seeing the other's sorrowful appearance, even Hei Xuanbinghuang, who was jealous of her, couldn't help but sigh softly.

“Master, I’ve always had this misconception.”

"I always felt that she was just pretending before."

"In my opinion, her inner self was actually greatly influenced by that human female spirit from a young age."

Hearing this, Gu Qianhan smiled slightly.

"This brings us back to the question: Is human nature inherently good or inherently evil at birth?"

After speaking, Gu Qianhan smiled and looked at the boxing master beside her.

"What do you think, Excellency?"

Master Zanquan answered without hesitation.

"I believe that human nature is inherently good at birth."

Hearing this, Gu Qianhan smiled and shook her head.

"Your vision is too idealistic and beautiful."

At this moment, Gu Qianhan walked to Manjusaka's side, looked down at her as she cried.

"How about my method?"

Upon hearing this, Manjusaka gently wiped away her tears with her hand, then immediately turned her face away.

Because she had just cried, her meticulously applied makeup was slightly ruined.

As a perfectionist, Manjusaka would never allow herself to appear in front of the person she loves in a bad state.

"There's no need for that. I think you're beautiful just the way you are."

Upon hearing this, Manjusaka felt a tremor in her heart, while the Black Ice Phoenix behind her showed a hint of helplessness.

Well, it seems the master has succeeded again.

But it doesn't matter, I'm going to be the boss anyway, and they'll all have to call me "big sister" from now on!

"Mr. Gu, do you really think so?"

Manjusaka looked excitedly at Gu Qianhan beside her.

The latter nodded, then glanced at the corpse of Sanders beside him.

"Hey, isn't she the lover you've been longing for day and night?"

"At this time, don't be a coward."

"Come out!!"

With a cold shout from Gu Qianhan.

Then Sanders' corpse began to emit a faint glow, and in the next second it materialized into a human form.

This spirit is none other than Sanders, who has already died.

Seeing this, Hei Xuanbinghuang felt relieved.

"So that's what the master meant. It seems this guy really did turn misfortune into blessing."

The boxing master standing to the side looked ashamed.

"So that's what you're planning, brother. I apologize for my rudeness earlier. I hope you can forgive me."

"I really want to give you a big thumbs up for what you did."

Gu Qianhan gave a light snort in response.

Gu Qianhan naturally had her own methods for dealing with this kind of capable "saintly mother".

You can gain the other party's admiration without shedding blood, and even make them feel extremely guilty towards you.

This is a superior strategy of winning hearts and minds.

Given time, this master of Zanquan will surely play his due role.

Seemingly having guessed Gu Qianying's thoughts, the Black Ice Phoenix secretly gave its master a thumbs up.

In response, the latter gave her a meaningful smile.

This means that it's just a little trick of the devil, not worth mentioning at all.

Nangong Zhaoyue's spirit was stunned the moment she saw Sanders' spirit.

At the same time, her previously dull and lifeless eyes regained their luster, and even a blush appeared on her cheeks.

Nangong Zhaoyue smiled.

They were laughing so happily.

She also cried.

But the tears were of happiness.

At this moment, Gu Qianhan glanced at Sanders' soul, which was displaying a cowardly posture beside her.

"At a time like this, what are you still hesitating about?"

"Are you even a man? Go for it!"

After saying that, he kicked Sanders in the butt, sending him flying right in front of Nangong Zhaoyue.

This scene left the red spider lily standing nearby dumbfounded.

"Mr. Gu, why can you..."

Hearing this, Gu Qianhan shrugged.

"Why do you think I could kick his butt? Because he deserved it, he's such a coward."

His words made Manjusaka laugh.

"No matter what, seeing my sister happy is more important than anything else."

"Mr. Gu, thank you."

Gu Qianhan's lips curled up slightly without her noticing.

"Talk is not enough, Miss Manjusaka. I prefer to see concrete actions."

Upon hearing this, Manjusaka's face instantly turned bright red.

"Um... if we keep going like this... aren't we moving a little too fast..."

Gu Qianhan revealed a wicked smile of triumph upon hearing this.

"What are you thinking with your little head, Miss Manjusaka?"

"I was talking about my assassin rankings, what are you thinking?"

Upon hearing this, Manjusaka couldn't help but spit lightly.

Pshaw, it turns out I was the one who misunderstood!

You're so good at handling things, how come you're such a blockhead!

However, she still coughed lightly twice, her face flushed.

"Oh, so Mr. Gu was referring to your ranking. I thought he was talking about the ranking issue."

"Ahem, that's easy. After this matter is settled, I'll take you to find that guy ranked 50th."

“I will personally kill him for Mr. Gu, and then his ranking will be yours.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Qianhan's eyes widened and she froze on the spot.

"what?!"

"That's it?"

Manjusaka nodded with some confusion.

"Yes, kill the 50th person, and Mr. Gu can just replace him."

Upon hearing this, the Black Ice Phoenix behind him burst out laughing.

"Hahaha, Master, it seems we've overcomplicated this issue!"
