"You want to kill me?"

Seeing the other party whipping out a knife, Zhang Xuan raise his eyebrows.

It is fortunate that he has been cultivating and not sleeping. Otherwise, when the other party approaches him silently like this, won't he be killed for sure?

"Let me first ascertain who this fellow is!"

Zhang Xuan knows that conducting this kind of night assault would mean that he is not an individual. Perhaps, there could even be an organization behind him. If he doesn't accurately identify the one trying to murder him, even if he were to kill this assassin, there might be more coming for his life in the future. If he doesn't dig out the organization behind the assassination, he wouldn't have to dream of sleeping peacefully anymore.

"Who is it?"

Just when Zhang Xuan is pondering how he should force the man before him to confess the organization backing him, he hears a hushed voice. Unknowingly, the black-clothed man grasping the dagger is already standing at proximity to him.

Zhang Xuan has never tracked anyone before. Upon seeing the other party whip out a dagger, he got nervous for a moment and leaked out his breath, causing the other party to notice his presence.

"I..."

To be noticed so quickly, Zhang Xuan frowns. Just when he is about to rush forward to duel with the man before him, a thought flash through his mind and a brilliant idea pops out.

"I am here to kill Zhang Xuan, that useless teacher! Who are you?"

Suppressing his tone so as to not be identified, Zhang Xuan declares.

Since the other party is here to kill him, he would be able to confuse him by saying that he is here for the same purpose.

"You're here to kill him?" The black-clothed man is taken aback. However, looking at how Zhang Xuan conceals his face and his sneaky attitude, he couldn't help but trust his words slightly.

"Indeed. The academy's worst teacher will only bring harm to the students if left alone!" Zhang Xuan couldn't help but turn red upon talking about himself.

"Oh, then you do it. I will help you keep a look out!" The black-clothed man says.

"Keng?" A uncomprehending look appears on Zhang Xuan. He tries to push the responsibility to him, "I think it would be better for you to do it. Anyway, we are here for the same motive, so it doesn't matter who does it!"

"You do it. Actually, I have no intentions of killing him. I only wanted to punish him. However, if he were to die, that would be for the best!" The black-clothed man urges him on.

"Punish him?"

Zhang Xuan is a little confused. Punish him... Then why is he holding a dagger? He couldn't resist asking, "How do you want to punish him?"

"Hmph, that fellow dares to do something disrespectful to our young mistress. I intend to chop off his thing and turn him into a eunuch!"

The black-clothed man proclaims furiously.

"..." Hearing those words filled with vile intentions, Zhang Xuan could only feel a breeze at his crotch and shivered unconsciously in fear.

The hell! If I were to sleep peacefully tonight, I would probably be qualified to serve the emperor after this!

****!

Who the hell are you, for you to be so vicious!

Disrespectful to your young mistress?
