Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 234: Not Letting Go

The following afternoon, Gu Ningyue received a package from Y City.

As she held the meticulously crafted dagger, distant memories seemed to begin to resurface.

While it wasn’t the Qingyue Dagger, it perfectly replaced its presence.

Having it with her made Gu Ningyue feel a bit more at ease, even with her injury.

After all, if even Sun Wukong is unsettled without his Ruyi Jingu Bang, how could an ordinary person like her be any different?

If you’re going to fight, you still need a handy weapon.

"So, what do you think? Not bad, right?"

She recorded a video to show off to Lin Ruixian, and just as they were chatting, a call came in unexpectedly.

Seeing that long-lost number, Gu Ningyue suddenly felt a flutter in her heart.

...Ling Tianyou? Why would he suddenly call?

After hesitating for a few seconds, Gu Ningyue pressed ’answer’: "Hello?"

"There’s news about Yun Jin."

Ling Tianyou got straight to the point without unnecessary words.

Gu Ningyue was slightly startled, then delighted: "Where is he?"

Ling Tianyou’s voice came slowly: "In Y City, Lu Qingqing and Ji Qianqian went there again not long ago."

Gu Ningyue asked: "Do you know the exact address?"

Ling Tianyou responded, "More or less, I know a general area. I’ve already had people continue searching, there should be news in two days."

Gu Ningyue breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you!"

Although her master couldn’t be found yet, it was a relief to have news on the important figure Yun Jin.

This time, there was finally some good news.

Ling Tianyou: "..."

The atmosphere fell silent, and after a moment, Gu Ningyue glanced at the phone call, "Hello?"

Ling Tianyou: "Yeah, I’m here."

Gu Ningyue: "...I thought you hung up."

Ling Tianyou: "I didn’t..."

Gu Ningyue: "..."

For some unknown reason, Gu Ningyue felt a bit nervous talking to him.

It seemed to take a while before Gu Ningyue spoke again to thank him: "Thank you so much for everything about Yun Jin. Without you, I don’t know when I’d be able to find him."

Ling Tianyou hesitated: "Is that all you have to say to me, aside from thanks?"

He hadn’t called her just to hear her gratitude.

Unsure of what he wanted, Gu Ningyue hesitantly said: "I’m really sorry about last time, I shouldn’t have spoken to you like that."

She lied to Lin Ruixian. They had met after returning from Y City, but things didn’t end well between them.

Looking back, she didn’t even know if she was acting out of spite or deliberately pushing Ling Tianyou away.

"It’s okay, I don’t hold grudges against kids," Ling Tianyou said.

Gu Ningyue: "...I’m not a kid anymore."

"Oh!" Ling Tianyou said nonchalantly, "If you say you’re not, then you’re not!" 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Gu Ningyue: "..."

Seeing her fall silent again, Ling Tianyou suddenly let out a light chuckle: "Do you have plans for tonight?"

"No," Gu Ningyue replied.

She thought he wanted to invite her to dinner, but to her surprise, Ling Tianyou just said "Oh," and didn’t continue.

Gu Ningyue felt a little disappointed, but it quickly faded away: "If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up?"

Ling Tianyou nodded, "Okay, goodbye."

"Goodbye!"

Just as Gu Ningyue was about to hang up, "Wait!"

Ling Tianyou suddenly stopped her, Gu Ningyue was taken aback: "What is it?"

Ling Tianyou said: "Don’t get involved in Shen Hanyin’s hospitalization. Some things aren’t for you to handle, don’t get burned."

"Okay, I understand."

He wasn’t the first to tell her this recently.

But even so, she had no intention of giving up!

Living Yama? If she hadn’t held back then, he might have ended up in Hell, not just prison.

After hanging up, Gu Ningyue told Lin Ruixian about Yun Jin’s news before heading to the hospital.

Before attending that banquet, she needed to properly tend to her wounds.

After getting her injuries re-bandaged, she arrived at Shen Hanyin’s ward and found Shen Hanyin still sleeping.

Mrs. Shen waved her over gently, "Ning Yue, come and sit."

Gu Ningyue nodded slightly and placed the fruit she had bought on the table: "Auntie, how is Hanyin today?"

Mrs. Shen sighed, "She had a high fever last night, the doctor almost issued a critical notice, but she’s okay now."

Gu Ningyue’s heart skipped a beat, "I’m glad she’s okay. Auntie, I have some matters in a few days, so I might not be able to visit Hanyin."

The banquet the day after tomorrow, with her injuries, she might not come out unscathed, and she might not get a chance to visit Shen Hanyin again before leaving for Y City.

"What are you planning to do?" Shen Hanyin held Gu Ningyue’s hand: "Child, you mustn’t be impulsive! Even though Hanyin is lying here, she’s still alive. If she recovers well, she won’t have any lasting disabilities. This isn’t your fault, Auntie knows that. Auntie has known your mother for many years, if anything happens to you, how will she face your mother’s spirit?"

Mrs. Shen’s earnest words stirred warmth in Gu Ningyue’s heart.

She knew, besides wanting to protect Shen Hanyin from any more harm, Mrs. Shen mainly wanted her to live well.

However, some matters were beyond her control now.

"Don’t worry, Auntie, I’m just a bit tired and want to go to Y City for a break." Gu Ningyue smiled, assuring Mrs. Shen: "I’ll be there for about a week and return after that."

As long as they confirmed Yun Jin’s location, they wouldn’t let the Heimu Organization slip away like last time.

She believed Lin Ruixian wouldn’t be foolish enough to still go in alone with her.

The kid was probably already making connections! With help, a week was more than enough time.

Admittedly, even though Lin Ruixian was odd back in the organization, his popularity was surprisingly good.

Otherwise, someone like Cheng Yihan wouldn’t have entertained him in Y City.

Thinking it over, Gu Ningyue suddenly felt that even without that special ability, Lin Ruixian could thrive in business with his personality!

Despite her assurances, Mrs. Shen still inquired worriedly.

Gu Ningyue addressed each concern, and seeing Shen Hanyin was still asleep, she stayed a while longer before leaving.

Behind her, Mrs. Shen stayed by the bedside, watching Gu Ningyue’s departing figure, and sighed deeply.

This child clearly hasn’t let go!
