"She, I seem to be bothering you!"
Mu Yuan realized Jian Chen was practicing as his gaze turned to the stealth gem the young man was holding.
Jian Chen tried to smile. "Not bothering, is there anything Miss needs?"
"Ah, that... I just wanted to take you out to eat, I just told the ladies to cook something and it just so happens to be done. If you want, can you join?"
As someone from a noble family, Mu Yuan was equipped with such complete items in the palace despite being on his way. Cooking is one of them.
Jian Chen was actually not being hungry but to honor Mu Yuan's offer he finally nodded.
Dinner looked warmer in their entourage, besides Jian Chen and Mu Yuan, the bodyguards and ladies-in-waiting were with the two.
Mu Yuan apparently often ate with his subordinates, not looking down on them even for the girl to assume the guards or maids were like her own friends.
This attracted Jian Chen's attention, Mu Yuan's attitude was rarely possessed by nobles in general who were usually nobles who always wanted to be special or raised by others.
When the dinner ended, other than the bodyguards who were on alternating duty while all were asleep, Jian Chen was also in a state of wakefulness but chose to continue to train.
Jian Chen absorbed the stealth gems while leaning on the tree but after time approaching midnight his eyes opened when he sensed some people were moving not far from him practicing.
"Hm, it looks like something's not right..."
Jian Chen then headed towards those people, his movements without the slightest sound so the guards had yet to realize Jian Chen had already disappeared from his place.

"I thought they were your family's entourage, quickly report to the Chairman that they were still alive!"
Xin Yan told one of the six people who were with her to return to the camp to report what she saw.
The person who was told to nod before turning over. The remaining five people were astonished when Xin Yan still continued to move despite having said so.
"Chairman Xin, shouldn't we wait for the Chairman here before we move further?" Ask one of them.
Xin Yan snorted. "It'll be a long time, we'll finish this mission as soon as the Chairman comes."
Xin Yan continued to move forward while her five subordinates had no choice but to follow her.
"But Elder Xin, this is dangerous, the six of us can't beat the group's bodyguards who are more than us."
"I'm not saying I will defeat all the guards, our only goal for this mission is to kill the noble girl. After that we go..."
Xin Yan then explained that the five of them would have to try to busy the guards, just 2 minutes so that he could kill Mu Yuan.
Hearing that the faces of his five subordinates deteriorated, although it sounded simple but doing so was a different matter.
Xin Yan realized her fifth expression before laughing mockingly, "Just calm down, my current strength has grown stronger than before. You can't see it but just so you know, now I'm in the realm of the Realm of Life."
Hearing that the five were surprised, they only learned the fact.
Indeed in his current group no one knew that the Elders of that organization had broken through to the Life Realm after previously being at the peak of the Soul Realm.
"Chairman, congratulations on your breakthrough..."
The five people who followed him could now be more confident in carrying out what Xin Yan had just ordered.
With Xin Yan's strength, it was not difficult to complete this mission without having their Chairman interfere though.
"If our mission is successful, then our group of assassin organizations will be more famous in the Wind Dragon province." Xin Yan said then.
"True Elder Xin, let alone telling our group now are the higher-ups of the great clans. They must have taken into account the strength of the Iron Crow Organization in their minds."
Xin Yan nodded softly hearing him, The Iron Crow Organization is a group of assassins that has been rife for months.
The organization used to be just a bunch of killers consisting of a few people, but ever since they turned into assassins the name of their group was heard.
The head of the assassin group finally decided to form an organization called the Iron Crow Organization.
Not long after many missions were completed by them, the organization became more famous and many people wanted to join the organization.
Xin Yan let out a small laugh seeing that his subordinates were just following his orders, the reason he hurriedly made a move before his Chairman came to have himself looked up to even more highly by his organization.
By completing the mission on his own, Xin Yan hoped that the Head of his Organization would step up or be given additional resources for his cultivation.
Xin Yan and his subordinates continued to move about jumping over the tree branches, as their distance was close to being struck he suddenly appeared before him making their steps instantly come to a halt.
The arrival of that person was like a ghost appearing out of nothing, neither Xin Yan nor the others were aware of the existence of the person before that person actually appeared to the surface.
The person then opened his eyes, visible from the darkness of the night the color of his eyeballs seemed to glow golden.
"Who are you?!" Xin Yan asked with the highest vigilance.
"Elder Xin, it seems like he is one of the bodyguards of that Mu family, surely he has accidentally seen our whereabouts since earlier." Whisper one of his subordinates.
Xin Yan nodded and began to understand, there is no one else around the forest here unless that person is indeed related to the Mu Family entourage.
Xin Yan wiped out her vigilance, this time she did not look down on the person any more.
"I didn't expect anyone to see our movements in the darkness of the night like this, you seem to be the head of the group's bodyguards?" Xin Yan asked with a big smile.
The person who was blocking it, Jian Chen, had already heard their conversation since earlier. He already knew their purpose and origin.
Hearing that the six people were murderous organizations and wanted to injure the Mu Family, Jian Chen finally chose to get involved.
"Is my identity important to a hit man like you?" Jian Chen smiled widely.
"Oh, you seem brave enough, I want to see how much you're strong."
Without further ado, Xin Yan charged at Jian Chen empty-handed, wanting to see just how formidable the young man's ability was to stand in his way.
Jian Chen could see that Xin Yan was not using all of her original strength, visible on the man's body she had a machete embedded in his waist.
Jian Chen dodged every attack of Xin Yan with the minimum possible movement before he retaliated by using his knee that hit his opponent's stomach.
Jian Chen's attack made Xin Yan's body almost spit out its entrails, it moved backwards while grimacing in pain.
"Lumayan, your abilities aren't bad..." Xin Yan tried to smile widely, hiding the anxiety in her heart.
Jian Chen chuckled then moved his finger for Xin Yan to move forward again, as a result the man was ignited in emotion so he immediately pulled out his sharp machete.
"I want to see how confident he is when I cut off your head!" Xin Yan snorted before swinging his machete attack at Jian Chen.
