ple who take this set of “Wandering Master was taking order online”.

Therefore, during some period of time later, Lin Yuetian really had been busy dealing with businesses.

He had set up a rule if the customer declined to pay the rest of the payment after getting their deal done, he would assassinate one person in the Client’s house by each day they broke the covenant.
Starting from the servant, the accountant, to family members, the degree of importance would go higher every day until the payment was settled peacefully.

Of course, he didn’t end up encountering such a situation many times.
Most of the customers were already scared stiff when they saw the head of their enemy (who mostly they couldn’t solve on their own hence the assassination request) was actually thrown into their courtyard from the sky.
How could they still dare to be stingy and refuse to give the complete payment?

On the other hand, it’s not like there were no idlers in Jianghu who boast righteousness here.
They originally planned to deal with this lawless Assassin, unfortunately, their martial arts were merely second-rate.
A lot of them didn’t really have genuine martial arts techniques to learn from, merely learning miscellaneous teaching.
Most importantly, a large part of them was over 30 years old, out of the golden period.
As the saying went, in martial arts, being young and having a strong body was the biggest investment.

Whereas the original Lin Yuetian in this world was born in an extraordinary background.
There was no shortage of Jianghu experts who had taught him since his childhood.
Right now he was still around 17 or 18, at the peak of his vitality.
Those Wulin idlers in this city were only worthy of one hand of his to solve them cleanly.

In such a state, his list of businesses in the city was successfully completed without much of a hindrance.

“I’ve earned enough.
” Lin Yuetian announced with satisfaction.
“The Original Body is still young but his martial arts is simply terrifying.
Worthy of being a privileged elite, what an astonishing young talent!”

[“The original body is indeed good and decent, but why don’t you see what you’ve done this time…”] The System was unable to get angry anymore.
He really wanted to cry but have no tears.
[“Don’t you know what you are being called in Jianghu today? Hehe…I don’t think you know, but let me tell you.
Since you take one hundred taels of money as a deposit, these days everyone calls you a Hundred Taels Ghost.
This means it only needs a hundred taels to turn someone into a ghost.”]

“That’s a distasteful nickname.” Lin Yuetian commented.
“Most importantly, it advertises my payment wrongly.
How could I be so cheap, only worthy of 100 taels?”

The System, [“Who cares whether you like it or not? Oh, in addition, since you only use a short sword in this pair of Zimu[6]Swords, which measurement is a little bit over 50 cm or approximately 1 and a half feet, so the authority gave you another nickname that is, The Bloody Step.
How about it, doesn’t it sound much nicer?”]

Lin Yuetian didn’t seem to notice the grief and anger beyond the System’s tone of speech.
After weighing for a while, he seriously gave his evaluation of the other nickname, “It really sounds nice, and has quite an artistic sense.”


The System had no more comments.
He tried hard to cultivate his state of mind.
He was convincing and self-reminding not to talk, retort, comment, mock, or fight with Lin Yuetian.

However, his self-conviction only lasted one minute before he got distracted and broke down.

It was due to Lin Yuetian’s action of taking out one note with a target’s information written on it.
Seeing Lin Yuetian’s action who looked like he wanted to continue doing his assassination job, he couldn’t help but interject vigilantly, [“Didn’t you say you have earned enough?”]

Lin Yuetian smiled leisurely.
“I said, you really seem to misunderstand me quite deeply there.”

Shaking the paper in his hand he explained kindly, “I did some business to earn money.
I make money to aid and ease my movement in this world, in the final analysis, I’m doing this for the sake of our Task’s completion.
Besides, the reason I asked the customers to provide their target’s information is actually a way to collect clues quickly and easily.
Now, you see, the name and appearance written on this piece of paper, isn’t this the one and only Left Protector[7]of the Demonic Sect, Ning Songhua?”

The System took a closer look, he really didn’t know whether to feel happy or sad at this time.
[“It really is…”]

“The Client this time also attached another letter.
It says, he heard that I have made some achievements in the city recently.
He also said that the Demonic Sect has wiped out almost all the Jianghu top experts in the whole Central Plain since the massacre in the Wulin Alliance Headquarters[8]happened.
From that day on, they have become even more rampant.
Not only has the previously-Lin Clan Mansion been used as their stronghold, but even their Left Protector has dared to walk openly in the broad daylight[9].
Ning Songhua entered the city 3 days ago, led his men to search various inns, and inquired many people if they had seen Lin Yuetian, the Young Master of the Lin Clan…” Lin Yuetian stopped after reading to this point.
“Well, fortunately, I came out from the inn early and live in the wilderness instead, otherwise my trace would have been discovered.”

The original body had lived a good life since he was a child.
Even when he was wandering in the Rivers and Lakes[10], he still paid good attention to his food and clothing.
On the other hand, Assassin-Lin Yuetian was different.
He was born in a slum area in the Cyberpunk world and had been a Paid Killer for a long time.
Even if he liked spending money and living lavishly, he put his Job of the utmost importance.
In order to complete his task, he could live in the worst environment during the process.

However, Ning Songhua, of course, would never think the person he searched for was no longer the same inside.
He followed his impression of the original Young Master of the Lin Family in his searching method, and it was bound to have no result thereby.

[“What are you going to do?”] The System asked for his next course of action.

“Naturally, I have to fulfill the demand of my Customer first and foremost.” Lin Yuetian said assertively with a righteous tone.
“Let’s kill him first and talk about the further plans later.”
