Chapter 7 A Feud

The Azure Dragon Prince's actions were completely unexpected for Madam Yaoyu, catching her somewhat off guard. She had assumed

he was there to demand an explanation, but it seemed he was there to make a deal. The ten million reward immediately brought to Madam Yaoyu's

mind . However, upon closer inspection, she realized it was impossible; Wu Tianjiao's head wouldn't be worth that much. If

it wasn't Wu Tianjiao, could it be Wu Wudi? That was even more impossible; Wu Wudi's head was worth far more than ten million, even

ten times that amount wouldn't be enough. If it wasn't Wu Tianjiao, and it wasn't Wu Wudi, then who could it be?

Faced with such a huge sum of money, Madam Yaoyu couldn't help but be tempted, secretly wondering whose head the Azure Dragon Prince wanted.

After a long pause, Lady Yaoyu sighed and said, "Your Highness, who has such an honor

to trouble you with such expense? I wonder if I can accept it?"

"It seems you're prepared to accept?"

Crown Prince Qinglong said with a smile, "Besides you, I can't think of anyone else who could take on this job!"

Lady Yaoyu smiled coldly and said, "Your Highness, you overestimate me.

I wouldn't accept a job without knowing who the other party is!"

"If you think it's still not enough, Qinglong can raise the price!"

Crown Prince Qinglong said, "Qinglong believes you can definitely complete this task. You've probably heard of this person;

she's in the capital. If you can kill her, in addition to ten million, Qinglong will give you

another !"

Lady Yaoyu gasped. Another five million! It seems Crown Prince Qinglong

is willing to pay any price for this person's head. Just who is worth such a high price?

In an instant, Lady Yaoyu's expression became extremely solemn. She solemnly said, "If it's Wu Wudi, then

I'm afraid I'm powerless! Even if I sacrifice my entire Golden Robe Hall, I still can't kill him!" "

It's not Wu Wudi!"

Crown Prince Qinglong said in a deep voice, "What I want is Princess Jingguo's head!"

"Princess Jingguo!"

Lady Yaoyu was stunned. She thought and thought, considering all the princes and ministers of the Divine Eagle Empire, but she couldn't

think of Princess Jingguo. She couldn't understand why Crown Prince Qinglong wanted her head.

Lady Yaoyu's cherry lips parted slightly, wanting to ask Crown Prince Qinglong why he wanted to kill Princess Jingguo, but

she held back . As a seller, one cannot inquire about anything the buyer does. The buyer only needs to pay a certain fee;

no further explanation is required. Taking money and solving problems—this is the code of conduct, the ironclad law, of assassin organizations.

Very few people know that the Golden Robe Hall is the assassin hall of the Heavenly God Palace, dealing in the trade of heads. And Lady

Yaoyu is the founder of the assassin hall. Twenty years ago, before Lady Yaoyu joined the Heavenly God Palace,

there was no trade in killing. The establishment of the Golden-Clad Assassin Hall

was a forced move by the Heavenly God Palace Empress after Lady Yaoyu joined.

The Heavenly Emperor and Empress, nominally husband and wife, were estranged, each controlling half of the Heavenly God Palace's power,

constantly vying for control, leading to the palace splitting into the Heavenly Emperor's Palace and the Heavenly Empress's Palace.

The Heavenly Empress's Palace was less wealthy than the Heavenly Emperor's Palace, forcing her to engage in the trade of killing to amass wealth.

Lady Yaoyu was a top-tier assassin trained by the Five Elements Divine Lord. When she joined the Heavenly Empress's

Palace , the Empress recognized her assassin potential and sent her to the Divine Eagle Empire to establish the Golden-Clad Hall, also known as

the Assassin Hall.

Heaven and Earth, ostensibly a gathering place for noblewomen, secretly facilitated many

unknown transactions, with most killing deals taking place there.

The Empress Dowager placed immense trust in Lady Yaoyu,

entrusting . Over the past twenty years, the Golden Robe Hall had undertaken countless deals, generating enormous wealth for the Empress Dowager's Palace.

This not only resolved the palace's financial difficulties but also provided funds for recruiting skilled warriors and experts from across the land, making its strength subtly

surpass that of the Heavenly Emperor's Palace. Lady Yaoyu's contribution to this was undeniable. Lady Yaoyu

generally avoided personally handling murder cases, leaving them to her subordinates, unless it was a large-scale

operation. A reward exceeding one million gold coins was typically considered a large deal; the Azure Dragon Prince's deposit was three million gold

notes, demonstrating the sheer scale of the transaction.

However, Lady Yaoyu knew in her heart that this deal was not easy to accept.

Even if she could kill Princess Jingguo, the uproar in the Divine Eagle Empire would be unimaginable, and the consequences unpredictable .

If the Divine Eagle Empire's court investigated, her empire of Heaven and Earth could vanish overnight, and the Golden Robe

Hall's ability to establish itself in the capital would be nothing but a pipe dream.

Whether to accept the deal for Princess Jingguo was a difficult decision for Lady Yaoyu. Accepting it meant taking a huge

risk . Not accepting it meant letting fifteen million taels of silver slip away, which would be a great pity.

To accept or not to accept? Lady Yaoyu faced the most difficult choice of her life.

The room was unusually quiet, deathly silent. The Azure Dragon Prince, Lady Vermilion Bird, and Xu Erniang all

stared intently at Lady Yaoyu, waiting for her decision. Xu Erniang was the most nervous,

holding her breath, feeling suffocated, her hands clenched tightly, cold sweat dripping from her palms.

The Azure Dragon Prince seemed to know that Lady Yaoyu needed to consider this carefully, so he said nothing more, sat quietly to the side,

picked up a teacup from the tea table, and waited silently while sipping his tea.

A long time passed! A long time passed! It felt like an eternity before Lady Yaoyu finally sighed,

reached out her slender hand, picked up the brocade box from the table, and said, "I accept this deal!"

"Good!"

Seeing Lady Yaoyu accept the deal, Crown Prince Qinglong's spirits lifted. He stood up and said with a smile, "

Madam , you are indeed a woman of few words. I was right. In this world, only you dare to take on this business."

Lady Yaoyu also slowly stood up, smiling, "Your Highness has presented me with a difficult task.

This is the largest deal I have ever received in my life. For this, I have decided to spare no expense."

"Good!"

Crown Prince Qinglong said cheerfully, "When will I be able to see Princess Jingguo's head?"

"This…" Lady Yaoyu hesitated for a moment, her brows furrowing slightly, and said, "Before Princess Jingguo leaves

the capital , this hall cannot act against her. The day she leaves the capital will be her death day. At that time, if…"

"If His Highness the Crown Prince is still in the capital, I will personally deliver her head to him!"

"Then it's a deal!"

Crown Prince Qinglong smiled and said, "If successful, Qinglong will pay the remaining seven million, and another

five million upon returning home. It's getting late, so Qinglong won't disturb you any longer, Madam!"

"Wait a minute!"

Seeing Crown Prince Qinglong about to leave, Madam Yaoyu couldn't help but call out to him.

The Azure Dragon Prince was taken aback, then smiled and asked, "Madam, is there anything else?"

Lady Yaoyu hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, there are rules in this trade. Those

of us in this line of work shouldn't know the buyer's intentions, but this time is different.

Our establishment is facing the risk of annihilation. I really want to know, why did you kill Princess Jingguo? As far as I know, you and Princess Jingguo

have no connection, no enmity whatsoever?"

"Madam is a wise woman. I think even if I didn't say it, you could guess!"

the Azure Dragon Prince said sternly. "I don't want Princess Jingguo's head, but someone else does.

My actions are a gift to that person!"

Ah! Hearing this, Lady Yaoyu suddenly understood, nodding and saying, "I understand, so that's how it is!"

The Azure Dragon Prince smiled, cupped his hands in a gesture of respect to Lady Yaoyu, and took his leave. Lady Yaoyu quickly had Xu Erniang see

them off.

After seeing off Prince Qinglong and Princess Zhuque, Xu Erniang returned to her room, where she found Madam Yaoyu

sitting , lost in thought.

Xu Erniang slowly approached Madam Yaoyu and softly said, "Madam!"

Madam Yaoyu looked up at Xu Erniang, shook her head, sighed softly, and frowned, saying, "Erniang, I

don't know if taking on this business was the right or wrong decision."

"Does Madam regret it?"

Xu Erniang asked, frowning.

Madam Yaoyu shook her head and said, "Those of us in this line of work, once we accept

a . Even if our entire organization is wiped out, we will still complete the client's mission!"

"But..." Xu Erniang said worriedly, "Princess Jingguo is a peak-level Imperial Martial expert,

with thirty-six Heavenly Gang Female Guards by her side, and Imperial Martial Guards like Yue Nujiao. Taking her head

will be... very difficult?"

"I know it will be difficult, but ten million gold coins is too tempting! Even if we don't do it, the Azure Dragon

Prince will hire other assassins to do it!"

Madam Yaoyu said resolutely, "With ten million gold coins, we can open ten more Heaven on Earth!"

Ah! Upon hearing this, Xu Erniang's expression changed drastically, and she blurted out, "Madam, you mean... to end things here?"

Madam Yaoyu nodded, saying, "With Princess Jingguo dead, the authorities will inevitably trace it back to us. Therefore,

before Princess Jingguo dies, we must sell off all our properties here and prepare to leave!"

"Then where will we go?"

Xu Erniang asked urgently, "Back to the Heavenly God Palace?"

Madam Yaoyu shook her head, saying in a deep voice, "I have already betrayed the Heavenly God Palace. The Empress will find out sooner or later; she

will not let me go. Therefore, we cannot return to the Heavenly God Palace. I plan to go to Jinjing!"

"Jinjing!"

Xu Erniang suddenly realized, "Madam, you mean we're going to where Lüfu is?"

Madam Yaoyu nodded, "Three years ago, I sent Lüfu to Jinjing to purchase property, so that

we could have a place to settle down. Jinjing is too far from the Shura Empire. Even if the Empress knew I was in

Jinjing , she couldn't reach us and couldn't do anything to us! Humph! Once we're in Jinjing, we can establish our own household and

completely break away from the Heavenly God Palace."

"Then... what about Wu Tianjiao?"

Xu Erniang asked, "Madam, are you taking him with you?"

"He..." Madam Yaoyu trembled, lost in thought, and after a long while shook her head, smiling bitterly, "He's going to

marry the Xiao sisters and the royal princess. I don't think he'll come with us!"

Xu Erniang's expression darkened upon hearing this, "What about Xiao Nianjiao? She can't be without a father?"

"What a tragedy!"

Madam Yaoyu sighed, forcing a bitter smile. "It's all my fault for being greedy, which led to this unplanned pregnancy and the birth of little

Nianjiao, leaving behind such a huge problem. No matter what, Tianjiao is still Nianjiao's father.

I won't feel at ease leaving him here after we leave. Well, when we leave, I'll tell him that if he's willing to

come with us, then we can; if not, then we'll leave him in the capital..." Before she finished speaking, her expression suddenly changed, and

her gaze turned to the window on the left.

Xu Erniang was startled and quickly went to open the window, only to find it empty.

She immediately turned back and shook her head at Madam Yaoyu.

Madam Yaoyu felt a sense of relief, but a hint of doubt lingered in her eyes. She thought, "I just heard

someone outside the window. Am I just being paranoid?"
