Standing in the middle of the courtyard, Chen Yu stared blankly as Chen Yan and a group of villagers cut up the meat with knives.
In the courtyard lay an enormous Qingju Snake. The villagers had worked at it for ages but still couldn't cut through its hide, so Chen Yan was busy carving up the snake meat himself.
Chen Yu's eyes were filled with worry. She couldn't bring herself to tell her brother outright about the assassination attempt.
But to act so brazenly right after being attacked was truly unlike Chen Yan.
Why?
"Xiao Yu, a Hundred Meridians Realm martial artist is already watching your family. But your brother exchanged a brief glance with that person just now. Perhaps he's here to protect your family."
Chen Yu nodded. Her brother had joined the Town Martial Division, which made her happy.
"Actually, it makes no difference whether my brother acts conspicuously or not."
Chen Yu murmured inwardly:
"As long as my brother is alive, people will notice him. This might even make that person lower their guard."
"Exactly." The Red-dressed Woman smiled lightly.
"I hadn't realized your brother was like this. He's actually bold and careful. Perhaps he's already made some plans with the Town Martial Division in secret."
Chen Yu furrowed her brows, still feeling uneasy.
But her master couldn't take action again now.
"If you want to find that person, you'll have to reach Gold Rank in the Tianbang Boxing Tournament. Only then might you attract their attention.
"They won't dare do anything too obvious, or that family among the Five Clans will certainly notice."
Chen Yu nodded, clenching her slender hands.
"Master..." Chen Yu murmured inwardly. She looked at Chen Yan, who was still busy at work. He turned to her and gave her a cheerful smile.
