Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 533: You Will Know Eventually

Did it again, every step Gu Lingxue was patiently teaching, but unfortunately, this isn’t something you can perfect just because someone is guiding you.

What Cheng Yulan made was crooked, and when placed next to what Gu Lingxue made, the contrast was stark.

Even for someone as carefree as Cheng Yulan, she was a bit embarrassed at this moment: "Ah, forget it, I’m not doing it anymore! This is too demoralizing!"

"In the beginning, it’s always like this! Just do it a few more times, yours just doesn’t look that great." Gu Lingxue took a small spoon, cut a piece, and put it in her mouth: "The taste is okay too, why don’t you try it?"

Cheng Yulan was skeptical: "You’re not just praising me to keep me from reporting you, are you?"

Gu Lingxue, chewing the cake in her mouth, smiled and said, "Do you really think I’m so scared that I need to rely on insincere compliments to handle this?"

"True." Cheng Yulan also picked up a small spoon and cut a piece of cake, "Hmm... not bad, let me taste yours."

"Hey, don’t." Gu Lingxue stopped her: "Once you taste it, you might not want to learn anymore. Sometimes, too strong a contrast isn’t a good thing."

Cheng Yulan understood her meaning, put down her spoon, and said as she looked through the window at the shop filled with bread, "So what are you going to do about this? Even if I don’t say anything, the boss will know sooner or later, right! I think you should tell your dad first, or you’ll end up with no one to support you, and that would be really bad."

Although she loved herself the most, after working with Gu Lingxue for so long, she couldn’t say she felt nothing for her.

Sometimes, she even had an illusion, as if... Gu Lingxue was like her sister.

Of course, most of the time, the two maintained a purely partnership relationship.

Gu Lingxue shook her head, "Better not tell. If I do, my outcome might be worse. Haven’t I been locked up enough since I was a child?"

Thinking of this, Cheng Yulan shook her head and sighed, "I really don’t know what your dad is thinking, you’re already this old, ranked in the top thirty among assassins, why does he keep locking you up? Still treating you like a child?"

Gu Lingxue was also helpless about this: "I don’t know either, maybe it’s some past experiences that make him incapable of truly loving others!"

Cheng Yulan looked at Gu Lingxue hesitating for a few seconds and said, "I heard your dad, before returning to the Heimu Organization, had another woman outside, and she was a lady from a prestigious family, is this true?"

Gu Lingxue was taken aback, "It was Uncle Three who told you, right?"

"Yeah!" Cheng Yulan didn’t deny it, "But don’t blame him, during a celebration banquet, Uncle Three got drunk, and when I was sending him back, he let it slip."

"What else did he say?" Gu Lingxue asked.

Uncle Three is the head of the intelligence group in the organization; there’s no secret he doesn’t know from the inside out.

It seems he also knows about her father’s past.

Gu Lingxue was quite interested in this.

"Actually, he didn’t say much..." Cheng Yulan recalled a bit: "Just said that prestigious lady was quite pitiful, cut ties with her family for your father, had a daughter, lived extremely hard, and died of illness not long after. That girl... do you know who she is?"

Gu Lingxue’s hand, just about to lift, paused, a trace of bitterness flashed in her eyes: "I know, it’s the one ranked number one assassin... Gu Weiwei."

Cheng Yulan was a bit surprised, but then again, perhaps Gu Lingxue’s father had already told this daughter about his past, so it wasn’t strange.

"Unfortunately, she also died."

Gu Lingxue nodded, "Given her age, I should call her sister."

Cheng Yulan didn’t know that all this information was something she gradually found out because of Lin Ruixian.

She wanted to know who he liked, what she looked like, what attracted him, so she followed the clues Lin Ruixian left behind and discovered these old stories.

When she found out that Gu Weiwei was her father’s other daughter, her feelings were indescribably complex.

The one Lin Ruixian liked was actually her half-sister? It’s really too ironic when you think about it.

No wonder, no wonder he said she looked like Gu Weiwei.

Sharing the same father, how could they not look alike?

After learning all of this, she somehow managed to find a photo of Gu Weiwei and printed it out to place in her wallet.

She didn’t know why she did it, but she knew the photo would be useful eventually.

"Do you wish for such a sister?" Cheng Yulan found Gu Lingxue’s last words somewhat hard to believe: "I’ve heard Gu Weiwei was a ruthless killer, raised to be a killing machine. Other than her mentor Xia Yingbai, she had long since discarded any concerns. No one would want any ties with someone like her."

Gu Lingxue remained silent; the Gu Weiwei she uncovered was somewhat different from what Cheng Yulan described.

In the information she gathered, she vaguely saw a girl who uses coldness to protect a gentle heart.

Perhaps it’s incredible to say so, but from those details that others wouldn’t notice, Gu Lingxue was always steadfast in her beliefs.

Let’s just say it’s a small way to cherish the memory of the deceased.

"By the way, the assassin ranking is about to be reshuffled in a few months. Are you participating this time?" Cheng Yulan, seeing Gu Lingxue silent, thought she was reminiscing, so she changed the topic.

Gu Lingxue shook her head: "No, if my dad finds out I went, he might lock me at home for half a year again. You go! I’ll go with you, gain some insight."

"Alright!" Cheng Yulan looked at Gu Lingxue and said, "With Gu Weiwei gone, the current number one is Ji Xiaoxiao, tsk, she’s not even as skilled as I am! Just picking up scraps, this time I must show Ji Xiaoxiao what I’m capable of."

Gu Lingxue chuckled lightly: "You! Better gather your focus! I hear there are a lot of newcomers this time, you might not even maintain your fifth rank if you’re careless."

Cheng Yulan pouted: "I won’t, even if not first, definitely second."

Gu Lingxue nodded: "It’s good you have confidence. But let me make it clear, I don’t want to have to bring a dead body back."

"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey~ You’re so unlucky!" Cheng Yulan punched Gu Lingxue jokingly, "Say it again, say I’ll win the championship!"

Gu Lingxue shrugged: "Sorry, I don’t lie!"

Cheng Yulan widened her eyes: "Just wait, humph! Be careful, I might report you one day!"
