Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 567: Change

Not long after, the glass door of the cake shop was pushed open again.

Cheng Yulan stood behind the counter, smiling broadly at Gu Lingxue and said, "Back already?"

Gu Lingxue was always gentle and kind, but her face had been clouded since she entered, even faced with Cheng Yulan’s smile, she didn’t react much, "Hmm, give me today’s orders! Are there many?"

Cheng Yulan handed the cake order sheet to Gu Lingxue, "Not many, just three."

Gu Lingxue took a glance, "Gu Ningyue wants to order an engagement cake?"

Cheng Yulan nodded, "Yes, she asked you to call her after you came back and discuss the details."

While saying that, Cheng Yulan added with a smile, "The eldest daughter of the Gu Family, the fiancée of Ling Tianyou, this could bring in extra money, not to mention we might get a red envelope!"

Gu Lingxue glanced at Cheng Yulan, "You seem to be in a good mood today?"

Cheng Yulan paused, then looked at Gu Lingxue, "Not bad."

What did Gu Lingxue’s father say to her? They had worked together for so long, but it was the first time Cheng had seen Gu Lingxue with that expression.

Was it because of Lin Ruixian? Upon thinking this, Cheng Yulan felt a bit foolish, who else could it be if not Lin Ruixian?

Only Lin Ruixian could make waves in Gu Lingxue’s heart!

"I’m going to make the cake now. Call me if you need anything!"

Gu Lingxue took the order sheet and went inside to change her clothes, washed her hands, and started making the cake as requested.

After a while, Cheng Yulan also came in, "Did your dad leave?"

Gu Lingxue shook her head, "No, he rented a duplex apartment in City A and plans to stay there for a while."

Cheng Yulan seemed to understand why Gu Lingxue was upset. Being prohibited from contacting Lin Ruixian in front of her father’s watchful eyes was indeed depressing.

"Is there a task from the organization?" Cheng Yulan scratched her chin and leaned against the doorframe, saying, "Suddenly coming to City A and forbidding contact with Lin Ruixian, could it be that your helping Lin Ruixian has been exposed?"

Gu Lingxue’s whisking hand paused, "I don’t know..."

If that were true, wouldn’t Lin Ruixian be in danger when he returned to the country?

Then everything she had done before would have been in vain.

"Speaking of..." Cheng Yulan looked at the gloomy Gu Lingxue and said, "When did the organization start targeting Lin Ruixian? Earlier this year, they hadn’t targeted him, right?"

Gu Lingxue was silent for two seconds before saying, "It probably started with the Blood Jade. Lin Ruixian stole the Blood Jade, something the boss wanted a long time ago."

Cheng Yulan frowned, "It’s just a piece of Blood Jade, why is it so important? As long as there’s money, can’t any Blood Jade be found? Why be so fixated on that piece?"

Gu Lingxue didn’t know the reason, she only knew the Blood Jade was very important, "I heard from my dad that it was going to be carved into something. But because Lin Ruixian took the Blood Jade, using it for something else, the organization can’t find another suitable Blood Jade, so they want Lin Ruixian dead."

The organization’s way of doing things, Gu Lingxue never quite understood.

Especially hatred, Gu Lingxue had never truly experienced it.

If she had to say she did, it was during those days her father imprisoned and punished her.

After becoming an adult, she rarely felt it anymore.

Because she had left his side and come here.

"..." Cheng Yulan also couldn’t understand this explanation, "Even if they kill Lin Ruixian, so what? The Blood Jade still won’t return to the organization to do what it’s supposed to do. Instead of this effort, why not find the next piece? As long as you live long enough, you’ll always find it, right?"

Gu Lingxue shook her head, "Not very sure, I heard the organization wanted a Blood Jade, and there are only two pieces in all of Z Country. One is with the Lin Family, and the other is the one the organization found."

Cheng Yulan was stunned, "The Lin Family already has a Blood Jade, why would they want to take this one? Did you ask Lin Ruixian?"

"No." Gu Lingxue looked at what was in her hands, "I haven’t contacted him yet."

Cheng Yulan said, "It’s better to find out, otherwise the Lin Family might end up in trouble too."

Of course, the chance of that result is still very small, after all, the Lin Family is quite influential in City A, even if the organization goes mad, they won’t drag the entire Lin Family into it.

Gu Lingxue did not speak, she wanted to contact Lin Ruixian, but her father had clearly told her that day, "Lin Ruixian’s communication devices are already controlled. If I find out you have any private contact with him, I won’t let you off."

Thinking of those past punishments, Gu Lingxue’s fingers dug deeply into the dough.

Many things were already beyond her control, but she didn’t want to give up like this.

"Xiao Lan, I want to sign up for this assassin ranking competition. Can you find a way to help me?"

Cheng Yulan was stunned, "What?"

She hadn’t heard wrong, right? Gu Lingxue wanted to compete in an assassin ranking match?

"I want to participate in the assassin ranking competition." Gu Lingxue raised her head, looking at Cheng Yulan, "I don’t want to live in his shadow anymore. I want to do what I want."

On the way back, Gu Lingxue was recalling the things that happened over the years. She seemed to always live under her father’s shadow.

The only thing she chose herself was this cake shop.

And she learned the craft of making cakes because her father liked such things, so she got permission.

"You can, but if the organization finds out, your dad won’t go crazy and kill me too, right?" Cheng Yulan was still quite scared of Gu Lingxue’s father, "I don’t want to be punished with you!"

"No." Gu Lingxue looked at Cheng Yulan seriously, "You just need to get me a registration form, you don’t need to worry about anything else. And no third person will know about this."

Cheng Yulan pondered for a while, "The registration form isn’t hard to get, but once you have it, how will you get there? Your dad is in City A now."

"It’s okay, I have my plans." Gu Lingxue’s expression was determined, as if she had already made up her mind.

Seeing Gu Lingxue say this, Cheng Yulan agreed, meanwhile curious about Gu Lingxue’s transformation, "Have you wanted to do this for a long time, or is it because of Lin Ruixian that you decided to rebel against your father?"

Gu Lingxue lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking. It was when her father mentioned Lin Ruixian in that moment of clarity, she realized she had never truly fought for anything for herself.

"Maybe both!"
