771: C771 Assassination

C771 Assassination

If he could break through to the Early Period of Immortal Soul, he would have a higher chance of success. Unfortunately, his realm wasn't something that could be improved in a short period of time. Therefore, the idea of increasing his strength in a short period of time was directly rejected by Ye Bufan.

It was a pity that the big rock wasn't here. Otherwise, his strength could be raised to another level. Without the help of the big rock, his strength would be suppressed by the rules of the Immortal Domain, and he wouldn't be able to exert 100% of his strength.

"Little Sapling, did Big Stone say when he would be back?" It had been a long time since he heard Big Stone's obscene voice. To be honest, Ye Bufan really missed it.

"No."

Ye Bufan shook his head in disappointment. He could not count on Stone either. It seemed like he could only pray that his luck was not so bad that he could come back from the city alive.

"Waiter, a pot of tea!"

He did not want to think too much. There were only less than three days left before the city opened. Ye Bufan didn't want to give himself too much pressure. He entered the city in a relaxed manner. In any case, he wouldn't need to think too much at the most critical moment. It would only bring him unnecessary troubles.

It didn't seem like it was time to drink tea, as there weren't many people in the teahouse. Including Ye Bufan's table, there were only three tables of customers. The most coincidental thing was that they were all alone.

Ye Bufan tasted the tea on the table that emitted a faint fragrance. His face revealed a look of enjoyment. He thought in his heart, No wonder so many people like to drink tea. It turned out that drinking tea could relax one's mind and relieve the enormous pressure in one's body.

The pot of tea was soon finished. Ye Bufan felt much more relaxed. Just as he was about to order another pot of tea, two threatening cold lights suddenly attacked from two tables not far away. The strong sense of danger shocked Ye Bufan. He instinctively lowered his body. Two cold lights whistled past his ears.

Bang! Bang!

Two small holes appeared on the hard wall. Ye Bufan could vaguely see the scene outside. He was shocked. The attack was too fast. If it wasn't for the sharp reaction that he had trained in the past... He was afraid that the small holes on the wall would appear on his body.

Ye Bufan quickly stood up. His body tensed up as he looked in the direction where the two cold lights were coming from. It should be one of the only two customers in the teahouse. Thinking of this, Ye Bufan's back was tightly pressed against the wall, his eyes vigilantly staring at the two guests.

Damn it, they actually disappeared?

Ye Bufan's pupils violently contracted. These two guests must have escaped while I was dodging the attack, but why did they attack me?

He frowned and thought about it carefully, but he didn't have any grudges with anyone. He had just arrived in the Imperial City a few days ago, and besides giving Ye Chu a good beating, he didn't have much time left. Ye Bufan hadn't come into contact with anyone else, so Ye Chu's suspicion was directly eliminated. Because this fellow was too timid. Besides, he knew that his father and I were good friends. Ye Chu shouldn't have the guts to hire someone to kill me.

Who could it be?

Although the person who attacked had left, Ye Bufan didn't dare to be careless. He vigilantly patrolled every corner of the teahouse. After confirming that there was no hidden danger, Ye Bufan hurriedly walked out of the teahouse.

"Cabinet keeper, which direction did the guests from the two tables upstairs go?" Ye Bufan said in a serious voice in front of the counter in the lobby.

The cabinet master, who was busy settling accounts, was stunned for a moment. Then, he said curiously, "They haven't left. They have been upstairs all the time."

Hearing the cabinet's words, Ye Bufan's heart sank. These two tables of customers were indeed not simple. They could actually avoid the cabinet owner and the waiter's sight from slipping away quietly. It seemed that only an assassin who couldn't see the light could do such an ability.

Ye Bufan confirmed the identities of these two tables of customers, assassins. However, Ye Bufan still couldn't figure out who hired them to assassinate him in the teahouse.

Shaking his head, he looked around vigilantly. The limited table in the hall was filled with people. There was a high possibility that the assassin's accomplices were hidden among these people.

"I can't sense their existence, but they should be hiding in the surroundings, waiting for the right opportunity to launch the most fatal attack."

Ye Bufan thought in his heart. The enemy was in the dark, but he was in the light. With so many people, it was impossible to find out who was the real killer. If an unassuming person launched a sudden attack, it would definitely be fatal. If he left the teahouse, he believed that the killers would chase after him.

It was not easy for assassins to hide their tracks in places with fewer people. Only then would Ye Bufan have the possibility of finding them.

Thinking of this, Ye Bufan's expression was solemn as he planned to leave. Who would have thought that he would be grabbed by someone? Ye Bufan frowned. The waiter was pulling Ye Bufan's clothes with a charming smile.

"What's the matter?" Ye Bufan said unhappily. He hated low-spirited waiters the most. However, ever since he entered Immortal Domain, he seemed to be in a relationship with the waiter. He had encountered the same situation more than once.

The waiter still smiled and said humbly, "Sir, you haven't given me your money yet."

Ah?

Ye Bufan was petrified. He had been in Immortal Domain for quite some time now. Ye Bufan was still unable to adapt to the trading currency in the Immortal Domain. There were many opportunities for him to obtain a lot of gold. However, he had neglected it. The most tragic thing was that he had to go back on his word again.

"I am a friend of City Lord Ye. Do I need to pay for some tea?" Of course, Ye Bufan would not say the fact that he did not have money. He said coldly with a stern face.

He thought that he could scare the waiter with Ye Fei's name, but the waiter looked at Ye Bufan with a sneer. The same thing happened to the cabinet, which made Ye Bufan feel a little confused. He deeply doubted whether he had walked out of Ye Fei's jurisdiction and gone to another area.

The waiter's charming smile disappeared, and his face turned cold. He said coldly, "Not to mention you are City Lord Ye's friend, even if City Lord Ye himself came here, he would have to pay the bill. Otherwise, he would not be able to leave."

Eh, this teahouse doesn't seem to be simple.

He muttered in his heart. The other party could even provoke City Lord Ye himself. It would be useless to say whose name it was now. Was he going to use violence to renege on the bill again?

Ye Bufan smiled bitterly in his heart. It seemed that this was the only way. He had to leave the teahouse as soon as possible because the assassin might be hiding among the guests, eyeing them covetously. Every time he thought of this, he would wait for the right opportunity to give Ye Bufan a fatal blow. Ye Bufan felt a chill all over his body, and the urge to leave became stronger and stronger.

"I'm sorry, City Lord Ye said that no matter what you do in this region, you don't need to pay. If you want tea money, go and find City Lord Ye. I don't have a single cent right now." Ye Bufan's face was cold as he said indifferently, I have no choice. He could only blame everything on Ye Fei.

"It seems like you don't have the money to pay the bill, so you can send someone to inform City Lord Ye. But you must stay. If you don't have the money, don't even think about leaving."

After saying that, the waiter's body trembled, and a powerful aura was emitted from his body. Ye Bufan's expression changed drastically, and he retreated with fear in his eyes. He had never dreamt that the waiter would be so powerful. He had also reached the Early Period of Immortal Soul.

This small teahouse was truly full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. He didn't know how strong the cabinet master was, but he believed that it wouldn't be much weaker than the waiter, or perhaps even stronger.

Surprisingly, the customers in the lobby were still drinking tea peacefully. No one left in a panic. Ye Bufan had been paying attention to the customers' every move. When he found out about this, his expression became even uglier. The assassins were indeed among the guests, but all the guests were dressed like assassins.

Wait, could it be that the waiter was the same?

Ye Bufan had a bad feeling. He vaguely realized that he seemed to have fallen into a trap that had been set up a long time ago. But who was it that wanted to kill him? Was it worth paying such a huge price?

"Who on earth are you? Why did you come to kill me?" Ye Bufan's expression was solemn. He took a deep breath and prepared himself for a fierce battle.

"Hehe!" The waiter smiled and said, "Kid, you took something you shouldn't have. If you hand it over now, we can let you live."

Perhaps it was exposed. The cabinet was in their hands. All the customers no longer hid. All of them stood up and quickly surrounded Ye Bufan. Ye Bufan originally planned to escape before most of the people could react, but the waiter's eyes were shining with a cold light.

Ye Bufan immediately gave up on the idea of escaping. If there was any unusual movement, the waiter would definitely stop him immediately. Of course, Ye Bufan was not worried about the waiter, but the assassins surrounding him. Ye Bufan was not afraid of a direct confrontation. He was afraid of a sudden attack.

After all, he was a person. Even if he could see and hear from all directions, he wouldn't be able to notice anything. More than twenty assassins had formed a circle around him. Every part of Ye Bufan's body could become the target of the attack. Therefore, he didn't dare to move recklessly. He was on guard nervously.

"Little Sapling, quickly think of a way. I am going to die in the teahouse."

"I also do not have a good idea. I advise you to surrender as soon as possible. Perhaps you still have a chance to live. Otherwise, you will definitely die."

The only hope now was that Little Sapling could think of a good way to get rid of the dangerous situation in front of her. However, Little Sapling's answer made Ye Bufan's heart turn cold.

The waiter suddenly took a step forward. Ye Bufan immediately became nervous.

"Don't worry. Our goal is not to kill you, but to get something from you." The waiter said sarcastically.

Ye Bufan would not let his guard down because of his words. He said lightly, "What do you want? Do I have something on me?"

"Experiments!"

Hearing these three words, Ye Bufan was shocked. Experimental was probably referring to Fenn in storage space. How did they know Fenn was on me? Did they hear about it from the caravan?

Thinking about it carefully, other than the merchant group, no one else should know that I took Fenn away.

Ye Bufan did not show any expression on his face, so Fenn naturally could not hand it over. But he did not plan to reject them immediately. He would deal with them first. Maybe he could find a way to break through the encirclement and successfully escape from this dangerous teahouse.

"How did you know that I took the test subject away?" Ye Bufan said lightly.

"You don't need to know about this. Hand over the test subject and you can leave this place safely. Otherwise, you will die a horrible death."2

The waiter seemed to have seen through Ye Bufan's intention and his expression became vicious.

Ye Bufan thought to himself, Damn it. Sure enough, without waiting for Ye Bufan to speak, the waiter waved his hand and the encirclement kept shrinking. The surrounding assassins approached step by step.
