Young Master in Flower City

Chapter 681 - 682: Assassin Ambush

Watching Xiao Tianyu leave without saying a word, Gu Yunxi's heart ached slightly, tears flowed down, and looking back, she realized that her actions just now were really too much.

Regret.

Desolation.

Instantly filled her mind, she did it all for love, but why did it have the opposite effect on Xiao Tianyu?

Is it really like this? Gu Yunxi once had pride in her heart, but for Xiao Tianyu, she had already worn down her pride.

But now, he left without saying a word, but should she blame Xiao Tianyu?

In fact, Xiao Tianyu didn't take this matter to heart because he knew something would happen in the Imperial Capital, so he needed to go back, not to mention that Shangguan Biyue's birthday was in a few days.

"Tianyu!" Gu Yunxi immediately ran out from the window, but in the vast night, where was Xiao Tianyu's shadow? This made Gu Yunxi's heart ache as if cut by a knife. She shouted into the starry night sky, "Tianyu, it's all my fault, I know I shouldn't have drugged you, but I was also afraid of you leaving me, it's my fault, all my fault..."

Gu Yunxi's voice echoed in the night, yet there was no response, only the cold wind blowing, moving the leaves under the starry sky, the branches swaying and rustling.

Has he left?

Did he really leave just like that?

"Yunxi!" Gu Xiao and Gu Qianqiu chased outside, only to see Gu Qianqiu comfortingly holding Gu Yunxi in his arms, "Maybe you are not people of the same world."

These words made Gu Yunxi's heart tighten, recalling the past, there were too many mysteries about Xiao Tianyu, as if, just as Gu Qianqiu said, they were not people of the same world.

"Shangguan Biyue!" Suddenly, this name came to Gu Yunxi's mind, Xiao Tianyu had mentioned her before, if she could find Shangguan Biyue, maybe she could find him.

Until the end, Gu Yunxi would not give up, she didn't want Xiao Tianyu to become a passerby in her life.

Soon, a look of determination flashed on Gu Yunxi's face; she would search for Shangguan Biyue even if she had to go to the ends of the earth.

"Dad, Grandpa, you both go back!" Gu Yunxi wiped the tears from her face.

Hearing this, the two men exchanged looks, Gu Qianqiu said, "Tonight, how about Grandpa stays with you!"

Now, Gu Yunxi was emotionally hurt, he was very worried that Gu Yunxi would not be able to think things through, yet Gu Yunxi laughed, "Grandpa, there's no need, I'm fine!"

"Really fine?"

"Yes!" Gu Yunxi nodded.

This girl let go so quickly, is this... isn't it a bit fast? Gu Qianqiu was bewildered, could it be that her feelings for Xiao Tianyu were just a temporary novelty, not real affection?

...

Midnight, twelve o'clock.

Gu Yunxi was home alone, as Gu Qianqiu, Ruan Lingyu, and Gu Xiao had already left the Dragon Emperor Garden.

The wind rose, the sound of branches swaying continuously ringing outside, Gu Yunxi didn't pay much attention, lying alone in the bedroom, repeatedly dialing the same number, yet the phone on the other end remained unresponsive, either turned off or out of service.

However, at this time, a few shadows descended on the lush trees around the villa, hidden within, blending completely with the night, but their eyes revealed a deep and cold intent.

"Have you locked on the target?" A man in black spoke to the transmitter, quickly a voice came from the other side, "No!"

Saying so, the person held a firearm, eyes scanning back and forth through the scope inside the villa, it was apparent he was a sniper killer, he said, "It seems only one person is in the villa!"

"Male or female?"

"Female!"

"It seems to be Gu Yunxi!" The leader in black flashed a sinister intent in his eyes, "Wait... Confirm Xiao Tianyu is in the villa before taking action, we must not alert the enemy, our main target is Xiao Tianyu!"

"Understood!" The sniper nodded, Murong Bai had instructed that no matter what, Xiao Tianyu had to be killed, however, these people couldn't be sure if Xiao Tianyu was in the villa, so for the moment, they dared not act rashly.

"No need to wait!" At this moment, a deep and cold voice came, the five men in black all looked toward the roof, only to see a young man standing there, eyes like stars, watching them.

This person was none other than Xiao Tianyu, after dinner, he hadn't left, staying on the roof waiting for these people, it was evident he had anticipated all of this.

"Who are you?" The leader looked at the solitary figure on the roof and asked.

"You came to kill me, yet don't know who I am?"

"Xiao Tianyu?"

"That's right!"

As the voice fell, an aura of power spread from Xiao Tianyu, enveloping everything within a hundred miles, causing the five men in black to be astonished, clearly sensing something.

Subsequently, the leader exclaimed, "You are an Earth Level Realm expert?"

"..." Xiao Tianyu did not respond, he merely reached out his large hand into the void, encompassing the leader, suddenly the leader felt as if a mountain descended from the sky, impossibly heavy.

"Boss, the information was wrong, this person is too strong!"

"I know!"

"What should we do!"

"Kill!" The leader in black scoffed coldly, raised his hand, body flickered, using the elasticity of the branches, leaped into the air towards Xiao Tianyu, all the while thinking silently, after killing Xiao Tianyu, he must make that Murong father and son increase the pay.

But does he still have a chance to see the Murong father and son?

Just as the man in black rushed over, they saw Xiao Tianyu's large hand in the void grip, directly capturing the leader in black, Xiao Tianyu's cold eyes staring at him, coldly said, "Ancient Martial Killer, is that it?"

"Who are you?" The lead killer exclaimed.

"Ask in the Underworld!" Saying this, Xiao Tianyu tightened his five fingers, causing the leader in black to cry out, "No... You can't kill me, I am a disciple of the Celestial Demon Academy!"

Clearly, these killers hailed from the Celestial Demon Academy.

The Celestial Demon Academy, one of the Five Great Institutes in the Imperial Capital, with countless academy disciples, but they also need to survive, so the academy often assigns tasks to disciples, completing them brings endless rewards.

Moreover, academy disciples walking outside, even if the mission fails, rarely anyone is killed, after all, the Celestial Demon Academy isn't something ordinary people can offend.

Bang~

However, just as the leader finished speaking, his body turned into a mist of blood, slaughtered by Xiao Tianyu, leaving the remaining four with ugly expressions.

Damn, even the boss isn't his opponent, let alone them.

"Gun King, it's your turn!" Someone transmitted to the sniper killer, his gun was extremely penetrating, once a bullet was fired, even a Celestial Level expert would perish if not paying attention.

This type of gun could not be manufactured on Earth.
