Return of the Immortal Emperor Daddy novel Chapter 716

Chapter 716: Chapter 719 Good Wine [Third Release]

At the same time Wu Tian and Ye Qingxian were drinking, many royal scions were dying one by one within the Xiuyuan Realm. Next to their corpses was a single line of blood-soaked words: "The murderer: Wu Tian!"

Meanwhile, inside a Royal Palace in the Xiuyuan Realm, a black-clad, masked assassin said to Rui’er, "Princess Rui’er, we have done as you instructed. Most people will now suspect Wu Tian. Even if it wasn’t him, everyone will force him to give an explanation."

Assassins had long since abandoned any sense of morality; as long as there was money, they would act. This was especially true for this particular Assassin Organization. They took on any mission, regardless of the target’s identity or their own chances of success, and always went for the kill. Wu Tian was very strong, but the members of the Assassin Organization no longer cared about their own lives.

"Good, very good." Hearing the assassin’s words, Rui’er nodded, her cute face twisting into a somewhat hideous expression. "Wu Tian needs to be taught a lesson. I have so much talent, so how am I not better than Si’er? Why did he choose Si’er and not me? Is he blind? I want him to pay the price."

The assassin heard this and nodded with a smile. "Everyone has flaws. Perhaps Mr. Wu Tian’s flaw is his poor judgment of character." The man was dressed entirely in black, with only his sword being white. This sword was a Supreme Treasure, the White Dragon Sword, rumored to have been forged from the scales of a white dragon. When Spiritual Power was infused into the blade, the shadow of a white dragon would emerge from within, rendering it invincible.

"You’ve done well in this matter, and your words please me," Rui’er said. She felt it was necessary to get on good terms with this assassin, as she would need his help for many deeds in the future that couldn’t see the light of day. "Come, I’ll treat you to a few drinks."

The assassin nodded. He also wanted to strengthen his relationship with Rui’er. This eight-year-old girl’s cruelty, malice, and deception were all first-class. If a person like her could grow up safely, she would become a significant figure by her twenties.

The assassin followed Rui’er to the Liquor Tree. As they entered, a servant approached and asked, "What would you like to drink?" The master of the Liquor Tree wasn’t present; only servants bustled about. Most were of the Spirit Clan, and this particular one was a treant of some kind.

"I’ll think about what to drink later. First, find me a good spot," Rui’er said with a disarmingly sweet smile. "Can you do that? A nice spot, please."

"Alright, alright, alright, I’ll find you a good spot," the servant couldn’t help but say. Rui’er was so adorable and seemed so well-behaved that the servant took an instant liking to her. He couldn’t help but think how wonderful it would be if he had a daughter just like her.

The servant led Rui’er and the assassin to a table by the window, which offered a view of the scenery outside the giant tree.

As they walked, the assassin said in a low voice, "Your smile is a weapon."

Rui’er nodded. Some people use swords as weapons, and others use long spears. Her weapon is her smile. Everyone thinks she’s a good, obedient child. No matter how vicious her deeds, no one would ever suspect her. And even if they did, all she had to do was cry, throw a tantrum, or feign a suicide attempt, and their suspicions would vanish. This fact made Rui’er rather proud.

"Hmm?" Suddenly, the assassin noticed something. His eyes darkened and he halted his steps. As an assassin, he had to be aware of everything around him—it was a required skill when entering any new place. And he had just spotted something.

"What’s wrong?" Rui’er asked.

"Look at the corner. Isn’t that Wu Tian?" the assassin said in a low voice. His tone wasn’t tense, but he was still concerned. After all, he had just murdered people and framed Wu Tian for it.

Rui’er looked toward the corner and saw the handsome man with his daughter. Of course, she also noticed Ye Qingxian. The sight of the woman sent a wave of anger through her. Damn it! So this is why Wu Tian ignores me. I’ve been wondering all this time. It turns out he doesn’t like cute little girls, but graceful young women! Damn him! Damn him!

She, too, had wanted to invite Wu Tian for food and drinks. She had wanted to follow by his side and listen to his teachings, but he had refused her. And yet here he is, with another woman? Rui’er was furious. The eight-year-old girl desperately wanted to march over and confront him.

But the moment she thought of the consequences, she immediately wilted. Who is Wu Tian? He’s a man who kills whenever he feels like it. A man like that... Rui’er hoped to gain his help and his power, but she also feared him. She didn’t want to offend him too much, but sometimes, she just couldn’t control herself.

"Good, let’s do that." Rui’er’s eyes lit up, and she nodded in satisfaction. She was only eight, but she had grand ambitions. Having a partner with some intelligence wasn’t a bad thing at all.
