Accompanied by a booming sound effect, a golden light exploded above Zhong Yi's head.

"This... this sound, why does it sound so pleasant?"

Zhong Yi was slightly stunned, then felt a surge of abundant power fill his being.

The next moment, all the old man's attacks were shattered by Zhong Yi.

"Li... Ang?"

Suteir, in Zhong Yi's arms, trembled her eyelashes in disbelief.

Suteir was a Rank 47 character after all, which, when converted to a Realm, was Late Stage Body Tempering, about to become a Qi Refining Cultivator, officially stepping onto the immortal Dao.

At this moment, she could clearly feel that the aura emanating from Zhong Yi was completely different from before.

Zhong Yi released his hands, shielding Suteir behind him, his Face full of confidence:

"Suteir, you just..."

Halfway through his sentence, he suddenly saw Suteir's suspicious gaze, abruptly remembered what he had read in the diary that morning, and quickly changed his words:

"...You just take good care of yourself, be careful."

"Pfft~"

Suteir pursed her lips and chuckled softly.

"Li Ang, that sentence really puts one's heart at ease~"

The old man behind them launched another fierce offensive.

However, in front of Zhong Yi, who was also at Foundation Establishment and had all his attributes completely overwhelming, the old man was like a toy, unable to harm them in the slightest.

Without any suspense, Zhong Yi quickly instantly killed him.

The bullet comments in the live stream quickly became boisterous.

"Damn, is the streamer that strong??"

"He's trying to save Face in front of Suteir."

"Oh no, Old Zhong's reputation is ruined."

"Strong my ass... as long as you use forbidden techniques, it's an attribute crush!"

"It seems everyone has no choice... True Disciple Li and True Disciple Zhou next door can only fight by using forbidden techniques."

"I'm relieved that his reputation isn't ruined."

"Is there a possibility that Old Zhong wasn't being a jinx?"

..."Li Ang, I want to learn this move! Let me have a sip of that blood~"

Suteir excitedly grabbed Zhong Yi's arm, pleading in a half-commanding tone.

"No."

Zhong Yi decisively shook his head and refused, then solemnly patted Suteir's shoulder.

"This is a Demonic Path forbidden art... you must be a Righteous Path Cultivator, eliminating harm for the people."

The young girl lowered her head slightly, biting her lip, and said nothing.

Zhong Yi fumbled around on the old man's corpse and, after obtaining the quest item, the mission was finally completed.

His assassin Rank increased, and Suteir's Rank, displayed on her forehead, instantly jumped to Rank 50.

Zhong Yi's lips curved into a relieved smile, like an old father.

"Li Ang, what are you smiling about?"

"Before long, you will probably be able to draw Qi into your body and officially step onto the immortal Dao. As your master, I will surely find the best Heaven And Earth Treasure for you!"

...The moment they exited the quest instance, the Illusion Realm world once again entered the movie plot segment.

Li Ang and Suteir returned to their rented small house.

Night deepened.

Suteir lay on the bed, while Li Ang slept on the floor beside the bed, maintaining a vigilant posture at all times.

"Li Ang."

"..."

"Aren't you curious why I'm called Suteir and not Ma Di'er?"

"Hmm."

"Because my mother's surname is Su, and I don't want to share a surname with that scoundrel father..."

"Suteir, sounds better."

"How strange, you actually say things to please people..."

"..." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"Li Ang, you once said that once you kill someone, nothing can go back..."

"If you don't want to see thousands of ghostly Faces when you close your eyes, like me, then it's best not to do that."

"But I..."

The girl's voice suddenly choked up.

"But when I close my eyes, I see the tragic death of my younger brother..."

"..."

Li Ang was silent for a few seconds.

"Suteir, are you saying all this because you want to hire me again?"

"No..."

Suteir wiped the corners of her eyes, then suddenly showed a faint smile again.

"Yesterday you said I was about to step onto the immortal Dao... I think I'll be able to get my revenge soon."

"And also... lately, my dreams aren't always about my brother's tragic death; sometimes there are happy things..."

With that, the girl turned her head to look at Li Ang on the floor, her eyes brimming with a smile.

"Li Ang, aren't you curious what I dreamed about?"

"Not curious."

"Hmph..."

Suteir pouted, then pulled her head back.

Before long, the girl extended a small hand again.

"Li Ang, give me your hand."

Li Ang didn't speak, silently raising his palm.

Suteir happily clasped it in her hand.

"Li Ang, you're so good."

Soon, the girl's breathing gradually stabilized, and the air finally quieted down.

In the darkness, the night gathered in Li Ang's black eyes, °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° and a pool of stagnant water suddenly surged.

He carefully withdrew his hand from the girl's palm and slowly got up.

Li Ang's movement technique was practiced to its extreme, making no sound at all.

He put on his black coat, pushed open the door, and melted into the night...

At this moment, in Zhong Yi's live stream, the Cultivators who had already regarded themselves as Suteir's old fathers were expressing extreme indignation.

"I can't take it anymore, I want to avenge Suteir!!"

"Suteir thinks she can get revenge once she's at Qi Refining? In reality, she's no match at all..."

"The little girl wanting to seek revenge on her own is probably going to get into trouble."

"This Li Ang is really heartless!"

...At the same time, the black color in the Illusion Realm scene gradually dissipated.

The plot continued.

Li Ang arrived at the tavern where he accepted missions, and the tavern owner was very surprised by his sudden arrival.

"Li Ang, have you encountered difficulties?"

"No."

"No, you have encountered difficulties."

"Boss, I wanted to say, if one day something happens to me..."

"No, Li Ang, nothing will happen to you; you have great Luck!"

"I mean, if."

Li Ang's expression was serious.

"If something untoward happens to me, do you remember that girl who came with me last time, Suteir?"

Seeing the boss nod, Li Ang continued:

"If one day I'm no longer around... please give all my money to Suteir for me."

The boss picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it in one gulp.

"Li Ang, don't worry, just trust me."

...This plot segment was long, with a lot of dialogue.

Zhong Yi frowned as he watched.

"Why do I feel like Li Ang is going to do something big?"

Zhong Yi muttered to himself.

Li Ang's performance in the plot was exactly like someone who had made up his mind, as if he was going to risk his life to accomplish something.

At this point, the plot was still ongoing.

The scene shifted to daytime.

Li Ang was organizing his assassin equipment, and the air was slightly heavy.

"I won't be gone for too long."

Suteir's Face was filled with confusion and grievance: "Did I do something wrong?"

"No."

Li Ang was slightly stunned, shaking his head in denial.

"You did very well... it's just that this mission is quite difficult."

"Yes, that's why I've always been the extra one."

The girl pouted.

Li Ang sighed helplessly: "Suteir, since I met you, many things have changed... Sometimes, I need to be alone."

With that, he paused for a long time before continuing: "And you need time to mature a bit more."

Suteir stubbornly raised her head: "I'm already mature enough, Li Ang. Now I'll only get older."

"And I'm just the opposite."

Li Ang lowered his head self-deprecatingly.

"I'm already old enough; I need to mature."

With that, he glanced at Suteir, then picked up his equipment and turned to leave...

The plot reached its end here.

Zhong Yi gained control of the character.

"What does this mean? Am I doing missions alone again? Why?"

Zhong Yi wondered aloud, but he soon understood the reason for Li Ang's actions.

"Main Quest Updated!"

"Main Quest: Complete the assassination mission, avenge Suteir (Part 1)"
