Chapter 39: That's Magic

  "Brother Dong!" Wang Xuewu's leg was still in a cast, and although he wasn't very mobile, his facial expressions were exceptionally rich, as he winked and made eyes at He Dong, even giving him a thumbs up.

  "Cut it out! " He Dong glared at Wang Xuewu, then stared at the girl and asked, "How did you know about this place?"

  "Master, have you forgotten what I'm here for?" The girl said slyly.

  "Ah!" He Dong slapped his own forehead as if suddenly enlightened. How could a professional killer like him not investigate the target's situation clearly?

  "Master!" The young girl called out to He Dong in a sweet and tender voice.

  "Stop it! I'm begging you, can't you stop calling me Master?" Facing such an adorable girl, He Dong couldn't even get angry.

  "Master, I beg of you, let me call you Master!" The girl stuck to He Dong like super glue.

  "You can shout if you want, but I won't teach you anything!" In the end, He Dong surrendered.

  "Hehe, as long as you let me call you Master, that's all!" The girl was very satisfied with the current result. As for what other plans she had in her heart, it couldn't be seen from those sparkling and rolling eyes.

  He Dong's conversation with the girl made Wang Xuewu hear five misty and three Tao, even repeatedly winking at He Dong to ask, but at this time He Dong was depressed, so he also ignored Wang Xuewu's ambiguous eyes with a strange meaning, and sat directly on the sofa with a bitter face.

  The girl who had won the game brought a bright smile, first pouring a cup of tea in front of He Dong, then sitting down on one side, taking up a fruit knife and skillfully peeling an apple with great elegance, before handing it to He Dong.

  He Dong didn't stand on ceremony either. After taking the apple, he bit off more than half of it with a vicious chomp, as if venting his anger.

  "Dong Ge, what's going on here?" Wang Xuewu finally couldn't help but ask.

  "What's going on?" He Dong pretended to be confused, then he directly and rudely said to the girl "Alright, you can leave now!"

  "Master! Are you abandoning me? Master, did I do something wrong?" The girl's face changed as soon as she saw He Dong wanting her to leave, and tears seemed to be welling up in her eyes.

  "Big Brother Dong! Is this... is it...?!" The girl's suddenly heartbreaking appearance immediately softened Wang Xuewu's heart, although he still didn't understand what was going on, but that didn't stop him from feeling sympathy for her.

  "Master, don't drive me away, I can do everything. I can wash clothes and cook too!" The girl was very talented in acting, as she spoke, her voice choked up, and before long, tears flowed down.

  "Brother Dong, since the villa is so big, why don't we just let her stay?" Wang Xuewu finally couldn't help but speak out what was on his mind.

  "Waaaahhh...!" The girl looked up to see someone pleading on her behalf, and she cried even more sorrowfully, almost uncontrollably.

  "Alright! Alright! Stop crying! If you want to stay, then stay!" Looking at the tearful girl with pear blossoms in her hair, He Dong knew that she was acting a bit, but he still couldn't help but give in.

  Of course, he dares to leave a killer with an unknown identity and background, who has even assassinated him before, mainly because he has something to rely on. Not to mention that he now possesses several strange abilities that can protect himself, the golden snake's danger sensing ability is his best alarm device. As long as the girl dares to harbor hostile or murderous intentions towards him, he will absolutely sense it in the first instance. Moreover, he has another purpose, which is to find out who the employer is from this girl.

  "Thank you, Master!" The girl didn't know what He Dong was relying on, but seeing that he had actually agreed to let her stay, she was excited and also slightly moved by his trust. Her eyes, which had been reddened from pretending to cry earlier, were now even more swollen.

  "Uh, come with me upstairs!" After the girl agreed and left, He Dong could no longer ignore her. However, with Wang Xuewu present, some things couldn't be explicitly stated, so he spoke expressionlessly.

  "Yes!" The girl nodded very obediently and followed He Dong to the third floor, leaving Wang Xuewu sitting there with a stunned expression, completely bewildered as to what He Dong and the girl were up to.

  Two people entered the study, one in front of the other. He Dong sat at his desk and habitually took out the White Jade Bee King. Just as he was about to take out a bottle of honey, he suddenly stopped. However, it was too late to put the White Jade Bee King back now, so he immediately pretended nothing had happened and began to play with the White Jade Bee King in his hand like a jade pendant.

  As for the girl, she no longer had the boldness of the beginning. She stood in front of He Dong with her head down, looking a bit constrained. However, this mood did not last long. After just one or two minutes, she began to occasionally steal glances at He Dong, or quietly observe everything in the study room.

  "Stop pretending! Tell me about your situation!" The girl's slightly playful expression almost made He Dong smile, but for the sake of his goal, his face remained very tense.

  "Yes, Master, my name is Zhao Xinxin, everyone calls me Xinxin. I'm an orphan, raised by Lao Da since I was a child. Lao Da is an old killer, he wants to train us all to be killers, but I don't like being a killer. Even if it's to kill you, Master, I was forced to do so, and this is my first mission!" As she spoke of her past, Xinxin's eyes occasionally flashed with pain and sadness.

  "Do you know who wants to kill me?" He Dong didn't know whether the other person was telling the truth or not, but he did know that the other person currently had no hostility towards him.

  "I don't know! Master Li is personally responsible for accepting orders, we are just executors! However, I think the employer may not understand you very well, otherwise, with your ability, Master Li wouldn't have sent me, a newcomer. Because they think you're just an ordinary person, that's why they sent me to train!" Zhao Xinxin analyzed.

  "Are you? Are there many of your kind?" Although he didn't get much useful information from Zhao Xinxin's mouth, He Dong was still somewhat curious about the mysterious profession of assassins.

  "There are many! There's Niu Ge, Feng Jie, Juan Jie, Hei Zi Ge, Di Lei Ge and they're all very good to me. But that dead girl Fang Fang always goes against me, I hate her the most! Humph, once I master Shifu's Golden Bell and Iron Cloth Shirt, I'll definitely beat her until she's searching for teeth everywhere!" Zhao Xinxin's thoughts were extremely erratic, and after this period of buffering, even her tiny bit of awkwardness had completely disappeared.

  "I'm telling you again, I won't wear a golden bell jar and iron cloth shirt!" Facing Zhao Xinxin's eccentricity, He Dong suddenly had a headache, really didn't know if he was right or wrong to keep him by his side due to a moment of soft-heartedness.

  "I know! I know, Master won't teach me the Golden Bell and Iron Cloth magic trick. When will you teach me that magic trick, Master?" Zhao Xinxin asked with sparkling eyes.
