Chapter 1105: Chapter 56: The Junior Pays a Visit Bearing a Gift

Xu Huange was not a well-behaved child.

Even though the “well-behaved child” in adults’ eyes doesn’t really fit the nature of a kid.

But Xu Huange was the pinnacle of mischief among all the unruly children.

She acted obedient in front of Bai Zhi.

Once out the door, she instantly transformed into a super heroic cub.

Within less than twenty minutes of driving out, Li Mumu had to suppress her with force three whole times in the back seat.

Children have a strong sense of curiosity, wanting to touch and try everything they see.

While sitting in the car, whenever Xu Huange saw something interesting outside, she opened the car door without a word and jumped out.

The first time she jumped out, Wang Yunxiao was completely unprepared, slammed on the brakes abruptly, almost pressed the car’s undercarriage through the floor.

Even considering how cute the child is… Sorry, couldn’t tolerate it at all.

By the third time she jumped out of the car, Li Mumu had no choice but to resort to violent threats to make her sit properly.

“Were you this naughty as a child?”

Faced with Wang Yunxiao’s question, Li Mumu didn’t know how to answer.

When I was little… What was I doing at the age of four?

Oh right, that year Wendy was kidnapped, and I single-handedly stormed into the cultists’ den with an axe. Found out she couldn’t be saved, just doused the place with oil and set the whole chapel on fire.

Ahahaha, so it’s in the genes, not my problem haha…

Wang Yunxiao got the answer he wanted from Li Mumu’s awkward silence.

Indeed, she was the same when she was little.

Today he wasn’t aware of the specific person they were visiting, so he could only follow the navigation guidance of the Red String in Li Mumu’s hand.

The first stop led them to Xia Mansion.

Wang Yunxiao had never been here and didn’t know what kind of place it was, but just by looking at the imposing entrance, he knew it was no ordinary family.

Worrying about whom to find once inside, and how to speak, Xu Huange opened the car door and pattered to the doorway, took a deep breath, put her hands on her hips, and shouted inside: “I am Xu Huange!”

The two security guards at the door exchanged glances silently, not knowing how to handle the situation for a moment.

Are you here to challenge us or what?

Li Mumu, however, had been here before and understood in her heart that since the Red String pointed to this place, it could only be aimed at the great steward, Li Chang’an.

There were only two truly important people in Xia Mansion, the other one was working for her at West Spring Mountain, living a blissful life, not wanting to return.

Sure enough, before the security at the door could respond, the voice of the grand steward Li came from inside.

“Please let the guests in.”

The grand steward Li stood in the living room, happily playing with the walnuts in his hands, showing no sign of being a master of exceptional skill.

But Wang Yunxiao still sensed a faint familiarity.

This familiarity did not come from appearance or voice, but from his aura.

This drawn-in, illusory aura reminded him of the sword aura he saw spanning the sky at King Mu’s Mansion at the end of last year.

Wang Yunxiao stood in awe.

Li Mumu shrank her neck like a quail.

Only Xu Huange was blissfully unaware, hopping up to Li Chang’an and curiously examining this seemingly ordinary elderly man.

“I am Xu Huange.”

Seeing that the old grandpa had no reaction, she repeated: “Grandma said as long as I report my name, I can get a red envelope!”

“Red envelope? Yes, yes, stand still, let grandpa take a look.”

Grand Steward Li nodded happily, carefully examining the adorable little girl before him and asked with a smile: “You haven’t trained in Martial Arts Skill, right?”

Upon hearing this, Xu Huange immediately frowned: “Training in martial arts is very tiring, grandma said I should wait until I grow up.”

“Indeed, it is a bit early now, as your body hasn’t fully developed yet. Nowadays, things are better, it’s more important to focus on studies, martial arts, as long as they strengthen your body, are enough.”

Grand Steward Li stroked his beard and said: “Call me grandpa, and I’ll give you a red envelope, how about it?”

Xu Huange cheerfully shouted: “Grandpa!”

“Good girl.”

Grand Steward Li laughed heartily, raising a hand to take out a gold ingot the size of an egg and handed it to Xu Huange: “Take it!”

“Wow—!”

Xu Huange exclaimed, holding the gold ingot.

“Thank you, grandpa!”

Grand Steward Li patted the little girl’s head, then turned his gaze to Wang Yunxiao and Li Mumu behind her.

His eyes showed a trace of thought and sentiment.

“Does Miss Bai have any instructions?”

Wang Yunxiao shook his head and said: “No, Miss Bai Zhi just asked us to bring Lele over to visit the elders.”

“Indeed, she doesn’t like attracting attention.”

Li Chang’an waved his hand and tossed the pair of walnuts he was playing with to Wang Yunxiao: “Take them and play!”

Actually, I also wanted a gold ingot, what you are playing with, I can’t manage to play with.

Wang Yunxiao silently grumbled in his heart, raised his hand to catch the two walnuts, just about to say thank you, when suddenly his hand felt heavy, almost breaking his wrist.

These walnuts were actually solid! Each weighed at least two hundred pounds.

Damn…

Wang Yunxiao’s arm wobbled, and without any preparation, he almost staggered to his knees.

Before he could steady himself, he felt a bone-aching pain coming from his palm, as a line of blood ran through his meridians to his arm, almost rendering the entire limb numb.

Poison?

No, as soon as this thought popped into Wang Yunxiao’s mind, he denied it.

This wasn’t poison, it was sword aura.

The sword aura contained within these two walnuts could actually infiltrate his palm silently the moment he touched them, almost like a toxin.

Can sword aura be used like this?

Wang Yunxiao was utterly astonished.

This thing is equivalent to a high-explosive grenade filled with tiny steel beads, in that very moment of explosion, numerous steel beads scatter around causing massive damage, yet it’s more terrifying than tiny steel beads, as it infinitely subdivides the already small-sized beads into particles invisible to the naked eye, while maintaining its original lethality.

Only one word could sum it up, and that was “atomization.”

Three seconds after getting the walnuts, Wang Yunxiao felt half of his body tingling as if it was electrified, just like when you stand up quickly after squatting for too long and the blood rushes back, causing a tingle as if numerous ants are biting, even his tongue stiffened making him unable to utter a word.

Li Mumu sensed something was off, grabbed Wang Yunxiao’s arm, and felt a shiver flash through her whole body.

So terrifying, is this the strength of the world’s number one assassin?

Completely unaware of the strangeness behind her, Xu Huange, happily fiddled with the gold ingot, politely said: “Thank you, grandpa, I’m leaving now!”

“Go on, go on, tell your grandma that I got her message.”

Li Chang’an waved with a smile.

“Let’s go! To the next place!”

Xu Huange clutched the gold ingot and ran off gleefully.
