Qin Fang didn't want to argue with Su Xiaoxiao about those useless things, reasoning with a woman was less relaxing than just killing a few people directly.

Su Xiaoxiao should be about ready by now.

They say a woman always lacks clothes and shoes, but in reality, their closets are always full, and Su Xiaoxiao was no exception.

Just look at her, supposedly here on a mission to kill, yet her suitcase was filled with various kinds of expensive luxury clothing.

Qin Fang wondered if the money Su Xiaoxiao earned from her missions was all spent on these luxuries... but he didn't ask any more questions.

Being an assassin was a career that involved licking blood off the knife's edge and walking on a tightrope, with the risk of losing one's life at any failed mission, so most of the money earned was quickly spent.

Men typically spent their earnings on sports cars, gambling, women, and the like, while women, of course, mostly spent their money on clothes, shoes, cosmetics, and other items that matched their tastes for luxury.

"All right, let's set out..."

Both of them were ready, and it was about time, so they left the hotel together and headed to the location of the gathering.

As for the hotel, there were certainly people who would tidy up their room, and the puppet person along with the Jade Coffin was put into the Props Box by Qin Fang.

Qin Fang also figured out the purpose of the Jade Coffin, not for holding corpses, but entirely to ensure the spiritual energy of the Golden Dragon Saliva didn't dissipate.

However, the inside of his Props Box was already in a state of suspended time, which was a thousand times more effective than the Jade Coffin, so it was more appropriate to put the puppet person into the Props Box and just take it out when needed.

As for the Jade Coffin, Qin Fang planned to find time to smash it and sell it because such a large piece of jade, especially ancient jade, could fetch a high price.

Su Xiaoxiao owned a Porsche, her favorite sports car brand, allegedly a gift to herself when she rose from a One-Star Assassin to a Two-Star Assassin.

Considering the minimum commission for each mission was one million, it would take five missions to rise from One-Star to Two-Star, and even after deducting the transaction fees from the assassin trading platform, the car cost nearly half of her income.

Qin Fang hadn't brought his own car, as the one he rented was obviously not suitable for such an occasion, so he simply rode along with Su Xiaoxiao in her car.

The parking lot at Dao Tai Mansion was already filled with various luxury cars, not at all inferior to Ninghai's Elite Salon, and perhaps even a bit better.

Like Su Xiaoxiao's Porsche thrown into the mix, that was considered a rather ordinary car, but this didn't affect Su Xiaoxiao's prestige—at least, others couldn't enjoy the personal pick-up service by Yangcheng's top Young Master, Sun Shu.

Today, Sun Shu was naturally dressed in formal attire, accompanied by the equally beautiful Li Yao—Tang Feifei's best friend.

As soon as Su Xiaoxiao's Porsche entered the parking lot, Sun Shu immediately brought Li Yao to welcome her.

"Cousin, Yao Yao..."

Su Xiaoxiao was the first to get out of the car, immediately greeting Sun Shu and Li Yao with a smile, as they were quite familiar with each other.

"Xiao Xiao..."

When Sun Shu originally heard Su Xiaoxiao had refused, he was quite frustrated, but not long after, she told him she would come, and he was naturally very happy, even more so because Su Xiaoxiao said she would bring her boyfriend with her.

"You are...."

"Qin Fang? Why is it you?"

When Sun Shu first saw Qin Fang, he thought he looked somewhat familiar, but couldn't remember where they had met. However, Li Yao by his side recognized Qin Fang at a glance.

Li Yao was also a high school classmate of Qin Fang, and although the current Qin Fang was completely different from back then, she still recognized him immediately.

"Hello, Li Yao, Sun Shu..."

Qin Fang's face wore a smile as he politely shook hands with Sun Shu and then gestured towards Su Xiaoxiao beside him, "I'm here accompanying Xiao Xiao... "

"Qin Fang?"

Sun Shu was slightly startled, but quickly remembered, his eyes showing obvious confusion, "Aren't you that..."

Li Yao's expression also became somewhat uneasy, but seeing Sun Shu seemed to be about to reveal Qin Fang's identity, she immediately tugged gently at his arm.

She was Tang Feifei's best friend and also had a good relationship with Su Xiaoxiao. Qin Fang was Tang Feifei's boyfriend, and now he was ambiguously involved with Su Xiaoxiao—this made her feel uncomfortable, but she still had some sense of propriety.

"Xiao Xiao is also my girlfriend..."

Qin Fang, of course, understood Sun Shu's confusion and admitted it quite generously, as it was already a fact, and there was no need to hide it.

"Oh, haha..."

Sun Shu came back to reality, his expression a bit stiff, and that smile was quite unnatural.

"Come on, cousin, what's with the expression? Don't you welcome us?"

Su Xiaoxiao glanced at the expressions of the few people and also vaguely understood something. She immediately stepped forward to relieve everyone, even joyfully joking around with Sun Shu.

"How could that be, how could that be?"

Sun Shu chuckled awkwardly a few times and immediately led Qin Fang and Su Xiaoxiao inside, but he couldn't help a wry smile in his heart. Su Xiaoxiao was his cousin, yet she had become such an awkward figure.

"Right, it must have been that scoundrel Qin Fang who tricked her! Hmph... I used to think this kid was decent, but now... just you wait and see how I deal with you! No, I must save Xiao Xiao..."

As Sun Shu walked, he mulled what to do in his heart, his gaze toward Qin Fang completely altered as if he saw Qin Fang as some class enemy, almost wishing he could pull out a gun and pummel Qin Fang with a few bursts of gunfire.

This reaction was within Qin Fang's expectation. All he could do was offer a helpless, wry smile, though explaining anything further was futile.

The architecture outside the Dao Tai Mansion belonged to the Qing Dynasty, but the interior décor was quite modernized. The contrast between the styles before and after was indeed striking.

"Qin Fang, since it's rare for you to come to Yangcheng, let me introduce you to a few friends..."

Upon entering the Dao Tai Mansion, Sun Shu immediately grabbed onto Qin Fang, his attitude very enthusiastic as if he really intended to introduce him to friends.

However, the very subtle look he gave Li Yao still betrayed his true intentions.

"Then I must thank Brother Sun..."

Qin Fang understood as well and he could appreciate the sentiment. At least, in this matter, he felt Sun Shu was quite decent, not resorting to irrational behavior.

"Xiao Xiao, you have a chat with Yao Yao, Qin Fang has me for company..."

Naturally, Sun Shu said this to Su Xiaoxiao, while Li Yao, who had already taken the hint, immediately pulled Su Xiaoxiao aside.

"Xiao Xiao, how did you meet Qin Fang?"

It wasn't convenient for Sun Shu to discuss these things with Su Xiaoxiao. As Sun Shu's girlfriend and being a girl, it was naturally a bit easier for her, and she began to inquire about the two of them from all sides.

"How did we meet? Just like that... We bumped into each other, felt a spark, and started dating..."

Su Xiaoxiao was aware of Li Yao's purpose, but she didn't care, casually saying so with a faint smile on her face.

Could she tell Li Yao that she and Qin Fang were both assassins, brought together by the same mission, and then bonded through the consumption of the spiritual medicine, Golden Dragon Saliva?

"Ah... I see! But do you really understand him?"

Li Yao was quite shocked by Su Xiaoxiao's words. Although women tend to be very appreciative and genuinely care when feelings arise, the way Su Xiaoxiao put it seemed rather empty and unrealistic even to Li Yao.

"Understand? I basically know all about him!"

Su Xiaoxiao maintained her nonchalant demeanor, speaking casually, leaving Li Yao feeling at a loss...

"Do you know that he already has a girlfriend?"

But the more Su Xiaoxiao behaved this way, Li Yao felt it necessary to inform Su Xiaoxiao of Qin Fang's two-timing, to spare her future heartache.

"Of course I know!"

Su Xiaoxiao seemed not at all surprised, calmly stating, "Oh, right, your news is outdated, they got engaged a few days ago!"

"Er..."

Now Li Yao was utterly thunderstruck.

Tang Feifei and Qin Fang hadn't really held any engagement ceremony, but their relationship had been settled by Old Master Tang himself, and the Tang Family allowed no objections.

Therefore, even without the ceremony, the relationship was already set, which pretty much meant they were engaged...

Li Yao was Tang Feifei's close friend, and they were very fond of each other; however, Li Yao mostly stayed around Yangcheng, only occasionally phoning Tang Feifei, hence was not very informed about the progression of Tang Feifei and Qin Fang's relationship.

If she had heard the news of Qin Fang and Tang Feifei's engagement from Tang Feifei or Qin Fang themselves, she would not have been surprised. But hearing it from Su Xiaoxiao's mouth made everything seem so off...

Li Yao's expression was a sight to behold, full of colorful astonishment. She truly wanted to drag Sun Shu over for a serious complaint, lamenting in her heart: What kind of mess is this?

"Then you still..."

Taking a deep breath, Li Yao composed herself, steadied her tone, and then looked at Su Xiaoxiao with confusion.

"What's the big deal? I'm not planning to marry him and be his wife. Why should I fuss so much?"

Su Xiaoxiao looked indifferent, casually expressing her indifference.

Yet her slightly flickering eyes still revealed a considerable amount of helplessness—things had progressed to a point where she simply had no room for choice.

Moreover, the longer she interacted with Qin Fang, the more she found him mysterious, and this sense of mystery only deepened her fascination with him... (To be continued.
