Chapter 56: Who's Following Me?

  He turned and walked out of the store, walking all the way back home. The Jun family wasn't without carriages, and their carriages were extremely luxurious, but Jun Xie had always preferred to walk on his own two legs; in his past life as an assassin, the subconscious notion was that only by having his feet firmly on the ground could he be truly safe. Whether it was riding a carriage or a boat, there was a sense of crisis that one's fate wasn't in their own hands. Jun Xie cared about this feeling, and it made him feel very uncomfortable.

  Jun Xie's habit was that his own destiny would always be controlled by himself!

  The personal bodyguards arranged by his lordship had also been dismissed on various pretexts.

  Because Jun Xie knew that the guards following him were just for show. No matter where he went, there would always be someone else secretly following him, and that person was a top-notch expert! Although Jun Xie had never seen them before, with his current cultivation level, he couldn't detect them either. But since Master Jun arranged for this person to follow him, Jun Xie could clearly sense it!

  This feeling comes from a top killer's instinctive sense of touch, although there is no reason, Jun Xie firmly believes that his judgment will never be wrong!

  He is now deeply interested in the person lurking in the shadows. Although his current kung fu skills are far inferior to those of his past life, his spiritual senses have improved several times over! Moreover, he had tried many times to shake off the man's tail, using his own anti-tracking techniques, and yet this person was always able to keep up with him without being detected, which is truly a rare feat!

  Although Jun Xie's wandering seemed aimless, his spiritual senses firmly controlled everything around him. He was like mercury pouring down, seeping into every nook and cranny. Although Jun Xie's movements weren't fast, only a master tracker could detect them. Each change in direction, each advance and retreat, was so sudden and unexpected! An ordinary person would likely have been shaken off long ago, unable to even see his shadow.

  But this person behind you has never been shaken off, not even once!

  Actually, this person has been suffering in his heart for a long time! Lord Jun asked him to protect his own grandson without letting him notice, and he agreed without hesitation. In his mind, it's just protecting a idle young master at most, this task is really not difficult at all! With his own means, even if he followed him for a lifetime, this guy would never know anything, just like in a dream.

  Who would have thought that after two days of tracking, this super tracker's brain had grown a full circle. The little guy in front, his actions completely defied logic, when you thought he was heading east, he suddenly changed direction, and when you turned around to chase him westward, you'd find he had already headed south...

  This person is almost the top tracker in the world, yet he got the direction wrong several times in just two days. If it weren't for Jun Xie's cultivation being too low, he would have shaken him off on the first day! After several mistakes, he was so frustrated that he almost went crazy, even pulling out a few of his own whiskers!

  Several times I wanted to jump out and grab the collar of this kid's clothes and ask him: What the hell are you doing every day, running around like a headless fly? Can't you just be honest for once?!

  Could it be that this little scoundrel has discovered me? As soon as I thought of this, I denied it: looking at his reckless appearance, how could he possibly discover me? It's completely because of this kid's erratic behavior!

  As I was thinking, I suddenly found that the front of Jun Xie had accelerated his pace and walked into a cosmetics store. I couldn't help but snort, thinking that he was indeed a young master, actually rushing into this kind of woman's shop. But after waiting for a while, Jun Xie still didn't come out, so I finally couldn't bear it anymore and flew over to take a peek. Inside, there wasn't even a shadow of Jun Xie, and I couldn't help but feel a wave of regret: It turned out that this kid had left through the back door! How could I be so stupid and not think of this possibility?

  He searched all the way in the direction of the back door like the wind.

  Waiting until he was far away, Jun Xie finally confirmed that the breath that had been paying attention to himself had completely disappeared. He then walked out of the cosmetics store with a smile, politely said thank you, and returned by the original road, leaving with a flourish.

  Only a few young female shop assistants stared with their big round eyes, and whispered: This handsome young man looks quite healthy, how can he suddenly have diarrhea as soon as he enters the store? And also occupy the toilet for so long? Almost made us sisters all suffocate...

  The sky gradually darkened, the sunset slowly fell, and it was already dusk with solitary sorrow. The night curtain had already opened its vast mouth. It only waited for the remaining twilight at the edge of the sky to disappear before swallowing this vast world in one gulp!

  He took two steps back, suddenly turned his head, changed to another path, and headed towards the back door of the cosmetics shop. At the same time, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart, thinking that guy would be dizzy today. As the king of assassins, a forest hunter, this was what I'm best at. If I couldn't take care of you, a fool from another world, that would be ridiculous. Kid, compared to me, you're still too green...

  Jun Xie was right, that person chased out dozens of feet, but didn't find any trace of Jun Xie, suddenly realized he had been deceived, and quickly turned back like a gust of wind. He searched around in all directions, then stood foolishly in front of the cosmetics shop, watching people come and go on the street, his face turning red and green like an open dye shop, feeling weak all over!

  After decades of roaming the world, his tracking skills had never failed him before, but today he unexpectedly fell into a trap set by a young whippersnapper, and what's more, it was such an uneducated and incompetent spendthrift! This is simply the most ridiculous thing in the world! The feeling in his heart clearly told him: this time, he really lost the chase!

  How embarrassing! The big sailboat capsized in a ditch...

  You're raising a grandson like this? How can he be so evil?!

  He smiled slyly, feeling extremely relieved. Although he knew that person had no ill intentions towards him, but having been used to being alone for so long, with someone always lurking behind him like a ghost, it made him feel uncomfortable and unwell. Now that he had finally gotten rid of him, he suddenly felt his whole body relax.

  Suddenly, Jun Xie's body muscles stiffened while walking, then relaxed, his shoulder muscles twitched, and the flying knife unknowingly appeared in his palm.

  Several strands of cold air, carrying a chill indifference, came from all directions, their target being the not-too-big-not-too-small street where Jun Xie was currently located.

  A familiar breath from the past!

  Assassin!

  What a coincidence! I just got rid of the people protecting me, and now I've encountered an assassination attempt? What if I really kick the bucket? That would be laughable! Digging my own grave?! Jun Xie couldn't help but let out a bitter smile, but he couldn't deny that a long-forgotten excitement was rising up from his heart: faintly tinged with the scent of blood - Finally, at last, I can see what this world's peers are capable of. Hopefully... don't disappoint me!

  The sound of neat footsteps came from the front, and a team of people walked over. In the middle was a sedan chair with a bright yellow canopy, several strings of pearls hanging on both sides, and under the pearls were small golden bells that swayed gently, making crisp sounds, which was pleasant to hear.

  This is the imperial carriage of Princess Ling Meng!

  Are these people going to deal with themselves? It's actually Princess Ling Meng?

  He thought to himself, "It's highly likely." He had come here on a whim, and if he wanted to assassinate himself, there were more suitable places than this one that he had already unknowingly passed by. There was no reason for the assassin to have followed him all the way here before making a move!

  But who would have the audacity to assassinate Princess Ling Meng in broad daylight on this official road near the Imperial City?
