Chapter 8 - Night Assassination Attempt

Once inside the bath,she noticed that she hadn't brought any robe.Her face flushed red as she thought about how she will go out.

Since her robes and undergarments are all in her room,she couldn't go out and bring them here.But she thought about asking Mu Tian,her face turned even more red.

In the end,seeing that Xunr isn't coming out of the washroom after a long time,Mu Tian called her from outside,"Xunr.Are you alright?"

After a long silence Mu Tian was about to open the door when a weak voice came out from inside,"Ummm...I did'nt bring any robes.Can you get me one?"

Mu Tian's blood boiled hearing that.Images of Xunr in a wet towel appeared in his mind.But he hurriedly shook them off.

He replied with a hmm and then strode towards her room.Soon he came back with a white robe in his hand and handed it to Xunr.

Finally,after wearing the robe Xunr came out of the washroom with a red face.

Mu Tian noticed her embarrassment and to sooth her mind,he started to talk about cultivation. He handed over a bottle of marrow refining pills and asked her to consume one pill a day.He also explained different levels of cultivations.

He even promised to give her a suitable Qi Cultivation Technique after she consume all of the marrow refining pills inside the bottle.

Xunr also forgot her previous embarrassment and listen to his attentively. After Mu Tian finished, she nodded her head and said,"I will listen to big brother."

In the end,after once again reminding her to keep the matter of cultivation as secrets that he let her leave.

After a month had passed,the matter of Mu Tian being crippled by Crown Prince for a women calmed down.Since there are a lots of topics circled around the Imperial City, commoners quickly forget about the hot topic.

Only a few people who were either helped by Mu Tian previously sighed sometimes, feeling pity for such a great talent to fall.

Unknown to them,a group of black clothed people entered the Imperial City without anyone knowing.

Inside the underground trading place of the city,one of the black clothed people appeared in a shabby store.He knocked on the door of the shop a few time.

Soon,an elderly man came out.He looked at the black clothed person and then took out something and handed it over.

The black clothed person nodded at the old man and then left swiftly.

After the black clothed man left,a cunning smile appeared on ther old man's face as his eyes shone with a vicious light.But before anyone could notice, his face turned normal like an ordinary old man.

After breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage,Mu Tian started to cultivate even more diligently.

He had even made a breakthrough in his cultivation and raised his level to second level of Foundation Establishment stage in a week.

While he is scearching in his system storage and looking for a suitable cultivation technique for Xunr among the many he received from signing-in,he suddenly felt the presence of an unknown person.

The first thought that appeared in his mind is to go to Xunr's room and protect her.But soon he calmed down.He thought the person must be coming for him.Since he is now a cripple,they definitely won't hurt her and will come directly towards him.

Thus Mu Tian sent his sense and inspect the intruder. An evil smile appeared on Mu Tian's face when he sensed that the person only has the cultivation of Qi Refining sixth stage.

He lay on the bed and pretending to sleep.

Soon,the windows on his room opened silently and a sharp dagger shot towards him.Mu Tian caught the dagger without letting the man to notice any abnormally.

Although he can kill a person at the Qi Refining Stage with out much effort,but if he want to do it silently he had to wait for the right time.

So,he pretended to get hit by the daggers and trembled a few times before laying motionless.

Seeing that the terget has stopped moving,the man entered the room and said mockingly,"Ahhh...another great genius. sigh...It's a pity.You have already fallen from grace."

"Why don't you help us a little."

As he say those he bend down to retrieve his dagger.But as soon as he held his daggers his expression darkened and he suddenly felt shiver in his spine.

Before the man could react, he felt sudden pain in his lower body and in the next moment his expression terrified.

"You..."The man tried to say something.But his vision suddenly darkened and he passed out.

Everything happened in a second and the assassin didn't even have the time to swallow the poison to commit suicide.

Mu Tian looked at the person lying on the ground with a satisfied grin.

As Mu Tian splashed water,the blacked robed assassin slowly regain consciousness.

"Where did you bring me?"The black robed man asked with fear as soon as he regained consciousness. He tried to break the poison to commit suicide but realized that the poison is gone.

His face turned dark with terror,he realized that he had fallen into trap and the Young Master of the Mu family definitely isn't a cripple.

"You will know soon."Mu Tian said as his lips curled up in a smile.

Beside him Xunr stood with a furious expression. The little girl had never imagined that someone would dare to try assassinate her big brother inside the Mu Mansion.

She violently kicked the man who is already tied in a wooden pillar.

Mu Tian was amazed by her angry expression. In his memory,he has never seen her so furious. He felt that she looked vey cute at this moment.

After furiously kicking the man for a few times,she asked."Speak.Who ordered you to assassinate big brother?"

Paraphs the assassin hadn't expect to be tortured by a mortal girl,he looked back at Mu Tian and said with a wicked expression, "I will never say anything even if you kill me."

 Mu Tian knows that that the assassins are extremely tough and won't speak so easily.Thus he stopped Xun'r who was about start another round of torture.

Xunr obediently followed as he asked.She stood behind Mu Tian and let him do the job.

Mu Tian obviously don't have the patient to slowly torture the man.He asked the man with an evil smile,"Are you sure that you don't want to tell anything?"

"Just kill me.I won't say a single word even if you torture me to death."The assassin replied firmly.

Looking at his firm expression Mu Tian said with a mocking smile,"Ohh!.It seems that I have to know the secrets by myself."

Smiling evily,Mu Tian put his right hand on the assassin's forehead and use Soul Search technique that he had obtained from the system.

The man felt that his soul has been torn apart .He roared crazily in pain making his facial expression detorted

The assassin's shrill cry make Xun'r scared .She had never thought that her big brother has such terrifying technique.

He fainted several time because of the pain.His eyes become lifeless as if his soul has left his body

When Mu Tian done searching the information and found the mastermind behind this,the assassin is already on the verge of death.

 Mu Tian tossed the man aside and a serious expression appeared on his face.

From the information he received from the assassin,it seems that they are from the group of devil cultivator and the mastermind behind this might be Emperor Qin.And the attack on him tonight is also planned by him.

Although Emperor Qin has been dissatisfied by the action of the previous owner of the body,he couldn't understand why he will go to the devil cultivator to make such a move.

But since things has already devoloped to this point,Mu Tian could only though of some plan to destroy the stronghold of devil cultivator and dismiss emperor's scheme.

After thinking for a while Mu Tian found a way.So,he looked at Xunr and asked her to wait for him and then dissapeared from his place.

Soon he appeared at Elder's Hall without noticeing anyone.He put a paper where he has written the information about the recent activity of devil cultivator expect the assaination attempt on him on the table.

After doing everything he needed to do,he left the hall silently without noticed by anyone.

When Mu Tian once again appeared beside Xunr,she didn't ask where he had gone.She knew that he must have gone to do something important.

She looked at the lifeless body in front of her and asked,"Big Brother.What should we do with this body?"

Instade of giving her a reply,Mu Tian used his spirit qi and burned the body.

Paraphs frightend by the incident,Xunr insisted on sleeping with Mu Tian that night.

Mu Tian felt headache at the sight of the women whom he can see but can't eat.

What he didn't know that Xunr in his embrace is also as restless as him.She thought about the indecent thing that men and women do bed and dirty images appeared in front of her eyes,making her blush creazily.
