"The Earth and Moon Sect will allow the common people to live a good life. Jiu Xiao, you became an orphan because of the Jing Country's misdeeds. All of this suffering, your suffering, will soon come to an end."

The elder began re-indoctrinating the young man before him.

"Jiu Xiao, your death will not be in vain. Once the great cause of the Earth and Moon Sect is accomplished, we will build you a tomb with a memorial arch and burn offerings and roast chicken for you every day." The elder spoke.

Jiu Xiao frowned slightly in discomfort, his fists clenching gradually behind his back.

[Ding, indoctrination progress increased to 80%!]

[Ding, indoctrination progress decreased to 75%!]

Xiao Chuchu was woken up in the middle of the night by the system's noise, leaving her bewildered.

What's going on, the assassin is fluctuating?

Is he conflicted?

"Ahem, we'll depart in an hour."

The next day, in the imperial study.

As Xiao Yunzhou prepared to leave the palace, he stiffened when he saw the emaciated Xiao Luzi bringing in a tea cup.

"On this journey, we will visit the relief hall at Blue Stone Bridge outside the capital to comfort the elderly and children refugees," Xiao Yunzhou said to Wei Zheng.

Wei Zheng: "...?"

What does that mean?

Why is the emperor repeating the destination to him again? Didn't he just mention it?

Wei Zheng was increasingly confused by Xiao Yunzhou's behavior and nervously said, "This servant has remembered."

Xiao Yunzhou nodded.

He was afraid the eunuch Xiao Luzi serving tea didn't hear, so he moved the note with the departure location and time written on it closer to the tea cup.

He didn't dare look directly at the eunuch Xiao Luzi, but soon felt a chill down his neck.

Hm? Killing intent!?

Xiao Yunzhou was startled, his right arm about to pick up the tea cup going numb.

Wait, didn't Qiu Li say the assassin's indoctrination level was already at seventy percent?

Previously, when this Xiao Luzi approached him, he didn't sense anything unusual.

But now, as Xiao Yunzhou looked up, he saw the tea's ripples reflecting Xiao Luzi's delicate yet tightly pursed, murderous lips!

Xiao Yunzhou's hand trembled!

Is... is this indoctrination task from the immortal realm going smoothly?

Are you sure the indoctrination level has succeeded by that much?

How is this person still wanting to kill him? With that urge to act!

Xiao Yunzhou held himself back, barely avoiding fleeing.

"Your Majesty, shall you change clothes now?" Wei Zheng asked obliviously.
