The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day-Chapter 261 - 112: Return to the Court (4) Fierce Duel_2

Ye Qichi grew more and more agitated as she spoke.

It was as if her emotions, suppressed to their limit, had finally found release.

She said, "However, Xiao Jinxing told me that the position of Princess can only belong to Bai Mowan."

Xiao Jinxing’s Adam’s apple bobbed.

Back when he had spoken of this matter.

The casualness in Ye Qichi’s attitude made him believe that she actually accepted it.

Even though he knew she was hurt deep down, her feelings for him meant she wouldn’t hate him.

It was only now that Ye Qichi had truly spoken out.

He realized just how deep her resentment was.

A mix of indescribable emotions surged in his heart.

Xiao Jinxing remained silent all the same.

Hearing Ye Qichi’s words, the leader of the Ten Extremes Sect laughed out loud, "A man like that, indeed, is not worth entrusting your life to."

"Yes," Ye Qichi nodded.

"Come here," the sect leader said, "as long as you obey, you will continue to enjoy endless glory and wealth."

"Alright."

As Ye Qichi held her child and stood up to leave, she still turned to look back at Xiao Jinxing.

Xiao Jinxing wore a cold expression.

Toward her, he would still have no feelings.

No matter what decision she made.

There would be no emotional change.

She said, "Xiao Jinxing, our marriage of over a year, I have done nothing to feel guilty about towards you. Now that I choose to leave, my conscience is equally clear."

"Alright," Xiao Jinxing replied with a single word.

Indeed, Ye Qichi had no need to feel guilty toward him.

On the contrary, it was he who naturally took advantage of Ye Qichi’s feelings for him, accepting all she gave him.

In this final moment.

If she could live, then let her live.

He would not force her.

Nor could he force her.

Ye Qichi took a long, deep look at Xiao Jinxing, then turned and walked away.

Away from him, towards the leader of the Ten Extremes Sect. freewebnσvel.cøm

Everyone watched her actions.

The sect leader was quite smug.

Although killing the King Consort had been troublesome and the losses were severe, at least the mission was accomplished in the end.

The losses could gradually be made up for—it was just a matter of time.

The sect leader’s eyes suddenly turned icy cold.

The murderous intent at that moment was imbued with a powerful presence.

In the instant that Ye Qichi walked over.

He gave the command, "Kill!"

The assassins were poised to act.

"Don’t move!" A loud female voice suddenly called out.

It echoed through the spacious canyon.

Only now did everyone’s attention seem to focus on Xiang Qin.

They watched as Xiang Qin was holding the young man next to the sect leader hostage.

"Whoever dares to move recklessly, I’ll kill him!" Xiang Qin’s sword rested directly on the man’s throat.

How fast Xiang Qin’s swordplay was.

The sect leader was clearer on this than anyone.

If she were to truly make a move, then his son would undoubtedly be dead.

The sect leader’s face turned exceedingly ugly.

He had never considered the possibility that the assassins he trained would betray him.

Of course, there had been betrayals before, but they were always weak and easily crushed.

Now, Xiang Qin dared to use his son’s life to threaten him.

And because he had just had all his attention on Xiao Jinxing and Ye Qichi, he had failed to notice Xiang Qin’s actions—had it not been for Xiang Qin’s loud shout, he would have missed his son being taken hostage!

How he had been taken hostage!

He watched Xiang Qin with a cold gaze.

Rage made his face look unbearably grim.

Such fierceness.

It could instill in assassins not just psychological fear but even physical terror.

Yet Xiang Qin faced the sect leader squarely, forcing herself not to be intimidated by him.

"Do you know what you are doing?!" The sect leader was, of course, not about to panic.

Over the years, no one had truly threatened him.

"All these years at the Ten Extremes Sect, I have had enough of your cruel treatment," Xiang Qin said fiercely, "I want to leave!"

"Leave?" mocked the sect leader, "I let you go, and how long can you live? A month? No, even half a month. Without me, do you think you can survive?!"

"Why not?!"

"Why not?!" the sect leader repeated Xiang Qin’s words, with derision, "It seems you’ve forgotten about the poison in your body!"

Poison.

It was the most effective means of threatening and controlling the assassins.

Because he had created this poison, the assassins of the Ten Extremes Sect could only submit to him; otherwise, they would be self-destroying and die a terrible death.

"What if I said, I already have the antidote?" Xiang Qin said with a cold smile.

At that moment, a flicker of panic was clearly visible in the sect leader’s eyes.

This was the scene that Xiang Qin, who arrived at the Ten Extremes Sect at five and had been there for twelve years, had dreamt of witnessing.
