Dashing Student-Chapter 1139: Don’t Hug Me

Due to Sun Jiancheng, the entire Sun Family was shocked beyond belief, and on the very day they received the news, they announced that Sun Jiancheng was expelled from the family.

They even explained that they were completely unaware of Sun Jiancheng’s actions and were willing to cooperate with other forces to hunt him down, even though he was once a descendant of the Sun Family.

Upon hearing this, Chen Nan’s lips curled into a cold smile. He had experienced the Sun Family’s ruthlessness before; they would kill even their benefactor who saved them, let alone a profligate descendant.

Unfortunately, although the Sun Family reacted quickly, the major powers didn’t believe them at all, and so representatives were sent to the Sun Family’s doorstep, demanding an explanation.

They all understood clearly that these people came not only for Sun Jiancheng but also for the Sun Family’s properties and heritage.

Helpless, the Sun Family had to sacrifice wealth to avert disaster, shrinking the family’s size by a third, almost dropping from its status as a top family.

After this incident was resolved, the Sun Family was united in determination to find Sun Jiancheng and grind his bones to dust to apologize to their ancestors.

"Tch, go ahead and search slowly then."

Chen Nan chuckled coldly twice and transformed back into his appearance as Chen Han; he still had tasks to take in other states. Now, his identity was that of an assassin from Yama Hall.

However, before that, he returned to Xuanmo State to find Yun Gu and undertake Dual Cultivation Method.

After all, in the Penglai Secret Realm, he killed many people and absorbed even more Blood Evil Qi, urgently needing to resolve it.

Upon hearing this, Yun Gu immediately kicked Chen Nan out of the room, hands on her hips as she shouted, "You think I’m just a tool? I’m not serving this ancestor anymore!"

Chen Nan dusted off the dirt from his body, looking at the confused wide-eyed Zhang An and Zhang Ning, his face flushed with embarrassment as he hurriedly waved them away.

"Shoo, shoo, go play by yourselves. Your mother and I have things to discuss."

He quickly entered the room, closing the door behind him, and saw Yun Gu still angry, making him feel a bit guilty.

After all, considering his actions, he had indeed wronged Yun Gu, only seeking her out when he couldn’t suppress the Blood Evil Qi any longer.

Wasn’t he just treating her as a tool to resolve the Blood Evil Qi?

Explaining things wouldn’t work at this point—when women get angry, they’re more stubborn than a mule. So Chen Nan moved forward and lifted Yun Gu up.

"Don’t hold me, let me go, rogue, I’m going to kill you... ugh..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Chen Nan silenced her with a kiss, and her body went soft. Even if she wanted to resist, she couldn’t, and she could only let Chen Nan do as he wished.

After three days, Chen Nan and Yun Gu were like two birds fluttering around without a care for day or night, and Yun Gu was no longer angry, snuggling into Chen Nan’s arms like a little bird.

"Are you leaving again?" Yun Gu asked reluctantly.

Chen Nan nodded and said, "Yes, I still have many things to do, but you can rest assured, I’ll definitely secure the ’Heaven-Slaying Art’ soon, so I won’t have to trouble you every time."

Upon hearing this, Yun Gu’s eyes widened, and she playfully scolded, "What do you mean by that? You won’t need me anymore, huh? Fine, go find someone else, you really are a rogue, I’ll bite you to death!"

As she said this, she bit Chen Nan’s shoulder. Even though she used all her strength, she couldn’t leave a mark on his shoulder, as if she were biting into iron.

Chen Nan pursed his lips speechlessly. Clearly, that wasn’t what he meant, yet Yun Gu always interpreted his intentions wrong, getting angry for no reason.

After coaxing her for a long time, he finally calmed Yun Gu down, and then he left Green Water City, heading to his next destination.

...

Xuzhou, also known as Langhuan State, is famed for "Langhuan’s hidden jade and slopes full of Immortal Herbs." It is a rich land, bustling with numerous cultivators.

Cloud Water City, Immortal Music Medical Hall.

Sub-Palace Steward Lady Shu had been quite anxious lately because she heard a Main Hall assassin had come to other states to seize tasks.

Moreover, every time they picked up tasks, they would take them all, finish them entirely, and then come back to submit them. Though this efficiency was admirable, no sub-palace welcomed such an assassin.

After all, assassins earned Spirit Stones by taking tasks. If one person took all the tasks, the other assassins would have no income, and no income could lead to trouble.

You must understand that assassins are lawless individuals.

Although they only took on D-level tasks, even D-level Assassins needed to eat. That assassin from the Main Hall was clearly coming to snatch people’s livelihoods.

It was said that nearby Yingzhou had been ravaged, so even after more than a month had passed, Lady Shu still couldn’t feel at ease.

Moreover, the rules of Yama Hall do not forbid taking multiple tasks at once, so she couldn’t openly stop it.

"He hasn’t appeared, so maybe he won’t come to our Langhuan State. Please, please don’t come," Lady Shu prayed to the heavens and all the deities.

Just as she opened her eyes, a youthful face suddenly appeared before her, but the eyes were so sharp that one dared not meet their gaze; they seemed to hide lethal blades.

Naturally, it was Chen Nan.

"What does the young master need?" Lady Shu asked with a smile.

Chen Nan directly produced his assassin token and said blandly, "I want to take on tasks."

Lady Shu didn’t recognize Chen Nan, but upon hearing these words, her heart hesitated as she tentatively asked, "From the Main Hall?"

"That’s right." Chen Nan slightly frowned, wondering if even this required questioning.

"You’re not named Chen Han, are you?" Lady Shu held onto a sliver of hope.

Chen Nan raised an eyebrow in confusion and said, "That’s indeed me. Does the steward know me?"

"I don’t know you, and I don’t want to!" Lady Shu waved her hands continuously, continuing, "I just want to ask you one thing—to leave some tasks for our sub-palace’s D-level assassins."

Chen Nan suddenly understood; she had heard of his reputation. Yet, without hesitation, he shook his head and said, "Sorry, I only know how to complete tasks, nothing about leaving some."

Kidding me? Currently, he’s desperate to accumulate merit; how could he agree to such a request?

"You really won’t give any face at all?" Lady Shu’s expression changed, and her demeanor grew more oppressive. Clearly, this steward wasn’t weak in cultivation.

But Chen Nan stood firm, not retreating a step, resolutely asserting, "I want to do tasks."

With a bang, the table beside Chen Nan shattered into fragments—Lady Shu’s venting of frustration, yet she couldn’t lay a hand on Chen Nan and could only shake her head in resignation.

"Fine, come with me then. I really don’t know what kind of monster you are, always completing tasks quickly and perfectly. Could you really be a genius assassin?"
