The sickly son died young? After the marriage exchange, I will bring prosperity to his entire clan f

These people were trying to kill Du Mingxian, but they were just trying to entangle Wen Yibin and prevent him from helping Du Mingxian.

Seeing this, Wen Yibin didn't use his full strength and just observed Du Mingxian. As a result... Du Mingxian was much faster than him. In a few moments, all four of them were on the ground. Neither the other party nor Wen Yibin could even see how Du Mingxian made her move.

Wen Yibin was quite surprised, but he felt more admiration for Du Mingxian.

Upon seeing this, the assassins immediately left one person to entangle Wen Yibin, while the others rushed to surround Du Mingxian, clearly intending to kill her directly.

Du Mingxian remained very calm. The people who came were not very skilled, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to fight several of them at once and kill them with ease.

When Du Mingxian noticed that Wen Yibin was watching the commotion, she simply led him towards him, intentionally hiding behind him so that he could face the murderer directly.

"This is your enemy."

Du Mingxian nodded; she could tell. "I never make enemies. Uncle, you can do it, but I can't."

Wen Yibin knew that Du Mingxian was slacking off. He cursed her, but his actions were swift and decisive. He immediately attacked and killed her.

When only one person remained, that person looked around, finally gave up, and committed suicide.

"This...we didn't kill him, he could have escaped on his own, why must we use death to achieve our goal?" She couldn't understand.

She used to be an assassin, but she truly cherished her life.

Wen Yibin stepped forward to check and found that each assassin had a flower pattern on both forearms.

"It's not that they want to die, but that's their rule: if they don't complete the mission, they'll just die out there."

"Huh?" Du Mingxian didn't understand. "What exactly is going on?"

"See this flower? This is the mark of the Assassins of the Killing Pavilion. Their missions are always like this: either they complete them perfectly, or they are killed by their opponents. If they fail a mission and go back, they will be punished."

"Killing Pavilion?" Du Mingxian had never heard of it before, and there were many things she couldn't understand. Wouldn't it be better to just live a good life?

"Yes, you can hire assassins from the Killing Pavilion as long as you have money. In fact, the more money you pay, the better the assassins you get. The ones who came to kill us today don't seem to have received much money, so the people they sent aren't very good."

Du Mingxian was filled with questions. "I've been staying at home since I came back from the countryside. I haven't had much of a chance to go out. And I've always been kind to people. Why would anyone want to kill me?"

She was truly filled with doubts.

When Wen Yibin saw that she was really worried, he thought about how the girl had cooked for him and that he hadn't heard her movements earlier, but she had, and had even pulled him back, which could be considered as saving his life.

“I will send someone to investigate this matter. Don’t leave now. After I’ve finished dealing with things here, I’ll go home with you.”

Du Mingxian refused, "Uncle, they just came once, they probably won't come a second time, I'll go back first."

"No, it's too dangerous for you to go back alone now. I'd better go back with you."

Du Mingxian was speechless. Wen Yibin was too domineering and insisted on going back together.

Forget it, it's safer to go back together, so it's not that hard to accept.

Soon, people from the Dali Temple arrived, as did the Prefect of the Capital. Because the case was somewhat special, both departments investigated it together.

Wen Yibin had been dealing with matters, and when he finished and wanted to return home, he remembered that Du Mingxian was also there. He looked around to inquire, and found someone sleeping soundly in a corner, completely unaware of anything.

Du Mingxian was too tired, had nowhere to go, and was waiting for Wen Yibin to go home together, so she simply found a small spot, hugged her own legs, and fell asleep.

"You're really carefree." Wen Yibin muttered, but still stepped forward. He originally wanted to hug her, but then he remembered that although he was her uncle, he was just a fake one, so he decided to just wake her up instead.

Wen Yibin had just reached out his hand, before it even landed on Du Mingxian, when she woke up and looked at him with particularly cold eyes, her whole body filled with vigilance.

She was a little dazed when she first woke up, thinking she was in her past life, but when she saw Wen Yibin's face, she reacted very quickly and immediately realized that she was still sleeping here.

"Uncle," she called out lazily, "Can we go back now? Have you found anything out?"

"We found something, but we'll talk about it when we get home."

Du Mingxian stood up and yawned without any regard for her image. "Let's go home then, I'm so sleepy."

Seeing her like this, Wen Yibin didn't say anything more, and the two walked home together.

Feeling a bit bored on the way home, Wen Yibin started asking around to elicit information.

"You're very skilled. I didn't even hear the arrow, but you did."

It wasn't that I was particularly skilled; it was because I drank too much spiritual water, which made my senses far superior to others, so I naturally noticed that slight anomaly in the air.

"No, my skills are just average. I didn't kill anyone today because I'm good at it, but because the people in the pavilion are too weak."

Wen Yibin's lips twitched. "They kill all sorts of people, from the lowest to the highest classes, so it's not surprising."
