Chapter 253 - 105: A Beauty’s Wrath (Part 5)
He is not Xie Yu.
Yue Jinghua’s senses were astonishingly sharp, and even in such a pitch-dark night, she instantaneously noticed the differences between the male assassin and Xie Yu.
The silhouettes of the two might be very similar, both with finely-arched eyebrows and a straight nose bridge, faces that were one-in-a-hundred in a crowd, but they were completely different people.
Xie Yu adored extravagant attire, like a peacock in full bloom, whereas this man was dressed in plain clothes, his presence cooling the atmosphere several degrees upon arrival. Even the usually stern Fa Xiaoyi appeared jocular in comparison.
Xie Yu’s smile was like the spring breeze of March, charming everywhere it went, but the smile of the man before her was like a flame wrapped in ice, equally dazzling but without a trace of warmth.
Their earrings were worn differently: one on the left, the other on the right.
Yue Jinghua couldn’t help but think that wearing an earring on the right ear, nine times out of ten, meant being gay.
But what was the relationship between this man, who seemed to be carved from the same mold as Xie Yu, and Xie Yu himself? And where was Xie Yu now?
"I am Xie San. My relationship with Xie Yu is extraordinary. Those he knows, I naturally know as well," the man who called himself Xie San, leader of the Residual Shadow Assassination Team, declared his identity and then cast an arrogant glance at the Empress Dowager.
Yue Jinghua was able to confirm that this person shared some similarities with Xie Yu; similarly disdainful, the nobles and Imperial Family of Shang Kingdom probably meant no more to him than a speck of dust.
