1381: First Trip Home After the Military Training

First Trip Home After the Military Training

Rather than saying that Lonewolf had obediently left with the group of elite assassins, it was more like he had vanished on the spot the fastest he could with the group of elite assassins like they had ran into something terrorizing.1

Things went back to silence soon after that—it was unsettlingly silent.

Everyone was simply baffled as they stared at Yun Jian. They opened their mouth then closed it, not being able to produce any word.

Those elite assassins in addition to the one heading the group, Lonewolf—who was ranked ninth on the international assassin chart—had just fled… because of a few words from Yun Jian?

"This… Um…" It was Old Sir Mu who broke the silence ultimately.

Even a man like Old Sir Mu who had long gotten used to various strange, unusual things was currently stuttering like he was in so much disbelief.

"They won't come again. You can sleep in peace now." Yun Jian yawned lightly and turned around to wave for Mu Ying and Mu Shuang, planning to go back to sleep upstairs.

Old Sir Mu and everyone else of the Mu Family who had just faced an annihilation crisis moments ago stared at Yun Jian calling for Mu Ying and Mu Shuang to go upstairs in a daze. It was until they watched the three of them disappear before their sight that they gulped.

"Grandpa, who is she?! And will those assassins really not come back anymore? Should we leave? What do we do if they come back again? We can't take that girl seriously…" 

Mu Rui still did not believe what Yun Jian said, but that was all he managed to get out when Old Sir Mu cut him off.

"People say seeing is believing. The reality is right before your eyes. Rui'er, behave! You ought to tone down when you see her next time! Don't blame me for not warning you! Those assassins wouldn't possibly have left if she doesn't have something unusual to her!"

"That was Lonewolf—the assassin who ranked ninth on the international assassin chart! Do you think this is a joke? I'm not exaggerating; if it weren't for her today, there is no doubt that it's inevitable the Mu Family will be uprooted!"

"So all of you keep this in mind now. From today onward, she's our family's savior!"

Old Sir Mu emphasized each and every word seriously. The "her" he was referring to was none other than Yun Jian.

…

The night passed peacefully—except for the eldest son of the Mu Family. Old Sir Mu's eldest son, Mu Feng, did not catch a wink all night because his wife and daughter had gone missing!

The others in the family did not get a good night's sleep either since they had gone out to look for the mother and daughter pair.

It was at 4:45am when the sun had risen from the east that Yang and Mu Rou were found in the forest not too far away from the Mu Residence.

They were both still unconscious when they were found but their clothes had gone missing. The marks on their bodies were signs that they had been assaulted and those who knew better could recognize what happened at a glance.

There was only a piece of clothing on both of them, but it did nothing to cover them.

Yun Jian was currently sitting in Mu Ying's bedroom with a big electrical fan turned on and spinning. Mu Shuang and Mu Ying were playing cards with her.

"No! Noo! Who did this! Who?! Nooo!" They could hear Mu Feng's anguished cries downstairs even from where they sat in Mu Ying's bedroom.

His daughter and his wife were both… If Mu Feng could still keep his calm at this time, it would not make sense at all.

Yun Jian rubbed her ears softly and glanced up at the big clock hanging above the head of Mu Ying's bed to see the hour and minute hands pointing at 6:30am. She got up and told Mu Ying and Mu Shuang, "It's 6:30am now. I should get going."

She then looked at Mu Ying and told her, "See you in Longmen City tomorrow."

The two of them would depart for the Amazon rainforest tomorrow.

"Sure." Mu Ying nodded at Yun Jian.
