Chapter 127: Chapter 127: Miss, Your Necklace Is Really Big

Hearing Diwu Liuqi’s words, Su Han froze.

He wondered, "Did I... forget to introduce myself?"

He thought, "Sure enough... I’ve been reformed... bah, I’ve been playing the good guy for so long that I’m getting a bit rusty at fooling people!"

"My name is... Yi Ersan."

Diwu Liuqi stared at him blankly. "One Two Three?"

"Not ’One Two Three’, it’s ’Yi Ersan’."

Glancing at him suspiciously, Diwu Liuqi asked in disbelief, "This wouldn’t happen to be a fake name, would it?"

Su Han gave him a sidelong glance. "You’re doubting my credibility. I, Yi Ersan, dare to swear to the heavens: if my name is fake, may I, Yi Ersan, never find a girlfriend in this lifetime."

Never find a girlfriend in his lifetime? Diwu Liuqi thought this oath was vicious enough that it couldn’t possibly be fake.

"Alright," Diwu Liuqi nodded, muttering softly to himself. "Yi Ersan. To think there’s such a weird name in this world."

Su Han was speechless.

He thought, "Don’t think I can’t hear you just because you’re whispering! My name is weird? Like yours isn’t? What right do you, someone with a bizarre name like Diwu Liuqi, have to mock me, Yi Ersan?"

Cursing inwardly, Su Han untied the ropes binding Diwu Liuqi. "Fifth Brother, what is your status in the Assassin Realm?"

Diwu Liuqi stretched his somewhat numb limbs and looked at Su Han. "Please, call me an assassin."

"Then, Fifth Brother, what is your status in the Assassin Realm?"

Diwu Liuqi pondered for a moment, counting on his fingers. "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight..." He looked up at Su Han. "Not bad! Why do you ask?"

Su Han smiled. "To be honest, Fifth Brother, I’m actually an assassin too."

"Huh?" Diwu Liuqi looked at Su Han in astonishment. "I’d believe you if you said you were part of the Royal Family and Relatives, but if you say you’re an assassin..."

"Haha, it’s just a hobby! An amateur hobby." Su Han smiled. "To tell you the truth, Fifth Brother, I am an amateur assassin. Leaving my name in the annals of the Assassin Realm is my lifelong dream. Unfortunately, while I have the heart to become a top-tier assassin, I lack the connections to join the Assassin’s Alliance. Meeting you today, Fifth Brother, I knew I had to seize this opportunity."

Diwu Liuqi blinked, looking at Su Han in confusion. "What opportunity?"

"The opportunity to realize my dream." Su Han looked like a preaching zealot, his face written with utter devotion. "Fifth Brother, I wish to form an assassin alliance with you. We can support each other and share information on our path to achieving our assassin dreams. What do you say, Fifth Brother?"

Diwu Liuqi looked at Su Han and asked weakly, "Can I refuse?"

Su Han smiled and cracked his knuckles. "What do you think?"

"Ahem... thanks for the lunch, Yi. To be honest, I haven’t had a full meal in three days."

Su Han waved his hand. "It’s a trivial matter, not worth mentioning. Just don’t forget our agreement, Fifth Brother."

Diwu Liuqi nodded. "Don’t worry. I, Diwu Liuqi, might not have any other virtues, but my only strong suit is keeping my word."

"Good!" Su Han nodded and raised his hand, pointing in a certain direction above the valley. "Knowing that you don’t wish to delay, Fifth Brother, I won’t keep you. You just need to fly in this direction, and you’ll soon reach the Imperial City."

"Alright!" Diwu Liuqi cupped his hands to Su Han. "Thank you, Yi. I will take my leave."

Su Han nodded. Diwu Liuqi used Sword Control to fly into the sky above the valley, glanced around, and flew off with a SWISH in the direction Su Han had pointed.

"Crown Prince..." Watching Diwu Liuqi leave and standing there for a long time, Su Xiao’Er finally couldn’t help but speak up in confusion.

"Are you curious as to why I let him go?"

Su Xiao’Er nodded. "This assassin obviously came to assassinate you. By doing this... aren’t we just inviting future trouble?"

Su Han looked back at Su Xiao’Er. "Do you think... someone with that kind of IQ could actually assassinate me?"

Su Xiao’Er shook his head. "We caught him once, so naturally, we can catch him a second time."

Su Han nodded. "Then do you think... an assassination mission broadcasted to the entire Assassin’s Alliance would only be accepted by one single assassin?"

Su Xiao’Er asked, "Crown Prince, you mean...?"

"I believe he’ll bring us some good news." Su Han stared in the direction Diwu Liuqi had left. "Besides... I also want to know exactly who is pulling the strings behind this Assassin’s Alliance bounty!"

What was the use of killing a single assassin? The goal was to uproot everyone harboring malicious intent toward him, exposing the entire conspiracy from top to bottom. The ultimate objective was to find the person who dared to put a bounty on him and settle the score!

Su Xiao’Er looked at the Crown Prince and nodded thoughtfully. After a moment of thought, he spoke again. "Crown Prince..."

Su Han glared at him. "I’ve explained it so clearly, and you still don’t understand?"

Su Xiao’Er shook his head. "No... I just wanted to say that the direction you pointed out just now wasn’t toward the Imperial City."

"It... it wasn’t?" Su Han stammered. "I clearly remember we came from that direction!"

Su Xiao’Er facepalmed. His Crown Prince... was utterly hopeless! "Crown Prince, you remembered wrong."

"Did I?" Su Han gave him a sidelong glance.

Su Xiao’Er was speechless. Did he... or did he not?

It wasn’t until they were heading back that Su Han had to admit that the direction he had pointed out to Diwu Liuqi seemed to be genuinely wrong. Moreover, it was in the exact opposite direction! He had pointed Diwu Liuqi in the opposite direction of the Imperial City.

However, even though that guy was a bit dense, surely he would know to turn around if he flew for a while without seeing a trace of the Imperial City? Even if he didn’t know to turn around, after flying for half the day and not seeing the Imperial City, he should at least know to contact him to ask about the situation, right?

That was what he thought. But considering this was an assassin who could get lost flying through the mountains and end up delivering himself right to his target’s doorstep, Su Han didn’t actually have much faith in him!

Pondering the information he had obtained from Diwu Liuqi along the way, Su Han headed straight for the palace after returning to the Imperial City.

"Uncle! Han brought you something good..." Su Han announced directly as he pushed open the doors to the Imperial Study, but he suddenly stopped mid-sentence.

"Ah, Han is here. Perfect timing, let Uncle introduce you to some people," Emperor Jing said. "This is the Patriarch of the Wang family from the Central State; you can just call him Wang for now. And this is the Thirteenth Miss of the Wang family. If you have time, help Uncle entertain her. You young people should have a lot to talk about."

Su Han was speechless.

As Emperor Jing made the introductions, the other two people in the study turned to look at Su Han.

"This must be the Crown Prince of Prince Jing’s Residence. Truly a striking young man." The middle-aged man looked at Su Han, nodding in satisfaction, before turning to Miss Wang beside him. "Thirteen, aren’t you going to greet the Crown Prince?"

"I, Wang Chuliu, greet the Crown Prince..."

Looking at the delicate and fragile girl in front of him, the words left behind by his ancestor inexplicably surfaced in Su Han’s mind—the women in their family all had massive chests!

"Miss, your necklace is huge!"
