Chapter 719: Buying Lou Qianxue’s Life!
“Lou Qianxue? You want to harm her?” ‘Gongsun Heng’ listened to the Third Prince’s reason for coming. Hatred flashed across his eyes.
“Uh, Fourth Royal uncle, you promised me the last time that you wouldn’t let Gongsun Yu surpass me. My target is Gongsun Yu, and Lou Qianxue is just secondary...”
“Ha.” ‘Gongsun Heng’ snickered. “Gongsun Yu? He’s nothing! Your nemesis should be Lou Qianxue! I can take action for you, but for the following month, you have to bring me 100 men every day before the sun sets.”
“Hmm? Fourth Royal Uncle, why do you need these men?”
‘Gongsun Heng’ viciously looked at him. “Last time, at the imperial garden, Lou Qianxue and the man beside her badly wounded me. If I don’t absorb vital energy from other people, I won’t be able to recover in a short time... However, if the old me can absorb enough vital energy every day, fighting them would be as easy as pie! If you want the old me to take action, then you have to exchange for it with the vital energy of warriors in the Tian Zhao Empire!”
“Absorbing vital energy from people!” The Third Prince’s face turned as white as a ghost. He stumbled and retreated a few steps. “No, no! This is immoral...”
Boom!
A chilly and sinister aura rushed toward the Third Prince like a huge wave. “Hmph! Coward! If you don’t dare to, then leave!”
The Third Prince remained silent for a moment, and his expression became grave. In the end, he gritted his teeth and left.
After they exited from the Fourth Royal Uncle’s mansion, the Third Prince and his butler found their backs drenched with sweat.
“Fourth Royal Uncle was not like this before... Why has he become frightening? And why does he refer to himself as ‘the old me’...? Why do I feel like he’s another person?”
The butler was unsettled.
The Third Prince forbiddingly looked at the road ahead. “I heard that his personality changed overnight since he came back two years ago. However... since he’s unwilling to help us, we’ll put him aside!”
“Then, Your Highness, what shall we do next?”
“Since he won’t take action, then let us hire a hitman to take Gongsun Yu’s life! However... Lou Qianxue is exceptionally talented, and she has been appointed as Gongsun Yu’s guard. Therefore, she can’t live either... Butler, take silver notes to the Gate of Seven Kills and buy Gongsun Yu’s and Lou Qianxue’s lives no matter how much money it costs!”
“Yes, Your Highness.”

At the same time...
“D*mn it!” A lady dressed in a yellow outfit with a face covered in a crimson-red mask got out of her carriage. She cursed under her breath as she stepped into the Gate of Seven Kills.
The people from the Gate of Seven Kills bowed and greeted her. “Young Mistress Ni Chang.”
“Miss Ni Chang!”
Ni Chang’s eyes glowed with icy cold hatred. “Do you know this person? I want you to kill her no matter what price I have to pay!”
“Who dares to offend you, Miss Ni Chang?”
Just as the foreman of the Gate of Seven Kills’s Imperial City branch finished his sentence...
Thud! Thud! Thud!
A series of hurried and hasty footsteps approached them.
“Foreman, foreman...”
“What’s the matter? Why are you flustered? Don’t you see that Miss Ni Chang is here? If you offend the Young Mistress, you won’t be able to compensate her even if you sell yourself ten times!”
“No, Foreman, someone outside wants to buy the life of Tian Zhao’s Crown Prince!”
“Crown Prince? This is indeed not a small matter! But, hmph! Our Gate of Seven Kills specializes in the assassination business! As long as the price is right, not only the Crown Prince, even if the target is Emperor Ying, we will dare to take it up! With the right methods, no one can discover that we did it!”
“No... not just him, there’s also...”
The foreman frowned in displeasure. “What else? Can’t you say everything in one go?”
“And Lou Qianxue! He also bought Lou Qianxue’s life!”
“Hmm? Lou Qianxue?” The foreman’s eyes wandered. “Young Master has instructed us to protect Lou Qianxue. We must not allow anyone to bring harm to her. Who is this impertinent person...”
