Chapter 2651: The King of Assassins Becomes a Joke
This shocked everyone present, especially Bi Linglong and the other ladies. They had been jealous when they saw Concubine Bai and Zu An acting friendly with each other. Who could have thought Concubine Bai would suddenly turn against him like that? They were so nervous that they thought their hearts would beat out of their chests. They had never worried about Zu An losing to a man, but he was so philandering that it felt inevitable that he would lose to a woman.
Zhao Yuan smiled in glee. This was the trump card he had prepared just in case. As the Shadow Group Master, he knew an assassin’s ability couldn’t be evaluated by their cultivation. More often than not, a frail beauty could be more useful than a powerful cultivator.
Concubine Bai was the card he had reserved to deal with Zu An. He had spent years investigating Zu An’s weakness. The latter was indeed a formidable foe, both in cultivation and wits, but he had a fatal weakness—his lustfulness.
Zhao Han had secretly sentenced Concubine Bai to death, but Zu An had taken on a huge risk to save her. That suggested he had special feelings for her. Thus, Zhao Yuan had begun formulating this plan. The dagger was smeared with the most formidable poison developed by the Shadow Group.
But his smile soon stiffened up. Concubine Bai had thrust the dagger toward Zu An, but the latter stood up casually as if nothing had happened. Zhao Yuan's gaze moved downward, only to realize that the dagger hadn’t pierced Zu An’s skin.
Concubine Bai was baffled too. His body is even harder than metal!
While she hadn’t exerted her full strength, it should have been enough to cut his skin. Of course, she hadn’t smeared the lethal poison on the dagger either. The dagger’s blue glow was a gimmick.
Zu An smiled. “You don’t have to go through so much trouble. I can help you rescue your son.”
Concubine Bai had just requested for him to put on an act with her. Zhao Yuan was holding her son hostage, forcing her to carry out this assassination. But Zu An hadn’t played along with her script.
Zhao Yuan’s face darkened. He exclaimed angrily, “You bitch! You’ll never see your son again!”
