Rebirth of the Heavenly Empress

It was a pity he lost the bet.

So he just destroyed everything and restarted all over again.

He stood outside and lit a cigarette, leaning against the car hood smoking.

Chief detective and the rest remained inside with Chi Qing for a long time before they finally came out.

“When is the Yu Family’s Path of Tribulation?” Yu Shijin asked when he saw them emerge.

It was only recently that the chief detective came across this Yu Family practice. He replied respectfully, “One month later.”

“About time.” Yu Shijin extinguished the cigarette as he said matter-of-factly, “Have them reserve a spot for me.”

“You are going?” Chief detective stared at Yu Shijin in shock.

Yu Shijin tossed the cigarette butt into a nearby dustbin. He smirked coolly. “That spot is for Chi Qing.”

Chief detective was struck dumb.

It was entirely illogical.

Those spots were all reserved for the Yu Family’s most talented and exceptional youths. There was no reason for them to give it out to someone, not of the surname Yu.

“If you do this, you will be… punished.” Chief detective eventually sputtered out.

Yu Shijin put on his coat and replied nonchalantly, “Punish me? That won’t be all.”

Chief detective glanced at Yu Shijin’s face. His eyes were lowered, his expression harsh and sharp.

He knew Master Yu was serious.

But he still didn’t understand why Ms. Su would plead on behalf of this young punk Chi Qing. Now, even Master Yu was willing to offend those people by sending him to the training grounds. Apart from being the Number One Assassin⁠, there didn’t seem to be anything special about Chi Qing.

“Chi Qing is already the Number One Assassin. Why does he still need to go for the training?” It took some time before the vice chief detective finally understood what Yu Shijin planned to do.

He also just found out that Chi Qing was actually the top-ranked Assassin God.

The corners of Yu Shijin’s lips curled up, but the smile didn’t reach his eyes. He said simply, “Number One Assassin. He is still no match for those people.”

Yu Shijin opened the door and boarded the car.

Chief detective and gang remained standing there, staring after the car disappearing into the horizon.

They felt Yu Shijin’s words were exceptionally chilly.

Number One Assassin. Was that still not powerful enough?

In the end, they exchanged glances, and one of them spoke up. “Has Master Yu really decided to go back?”

Vice chief detective placed a cigarette between his lips. “I am not sure.”

In their eyes, Yu Shijin was a man who stood aloof from worldly affairs.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have remained in Country Hua for so many years.

Sometimes, they even found it a pity that Master Yu’s talents were wasted in Country Hua.

All until two months ago, he suddenly appeared in the International Battlefield.

If not for the City Lord of the International Battlefield persuading him otherwise, there was no doubt he could have destroyed everything.

It was also then that the name Yu Shijin was noted by the major powers.

Known as one of the Double Kings, even the big three feared him.

Especially these past few months, chief detective and gang, could clearly feel that Yu Shijin had changed.

He no longer had that nonchalant apathy.

Instead, he appeared even more fearless and vicious than before.

He didn’t even care if he offended those at the International Association.

They had never seen such a Master Yu, fierce and flamboyant.

Inside the car.

Yu Shijin’s cell phone, which was placed beside the steering wheel, rang.

He glanced at the caller ID and ignored it.

However, the caller was insistent.

Yu Shijin took up his bluetooth earpiece and answered in a frosty tone, “What?”

“The Dugu Family is very displeased. You need to come back now!” It was Ning Baokun. “Who do you think you are? You even dare to arrest someone from the Dugu Family? Do you have a deathwish?!”

Yu Shijin frowned disdainfully. “If there is nothing else, I am hanging up.”

Ning Baokun angrily flung her phone away. Her lowered eyes were full of vehemence. “He is just like that late father of his. He really thinks he is so great!”

“Madam, don’t be angry.” Her servant tried to soothe her. “The important thing now is to apologize to Ms. Dugu. At least you won’t be blamed then.”

Ning Baokun thought about it and agreed. She immediately called the Dugu Family.

The moment the Dugu Family butler heard it was Ning Baokun, his tone was full of scorn. “Madam Yu is too serious. The Dugu Family cannot bear your apology.”

After the Dugu Family butler hung up the phone, he went to report to the Dugu Family matriarch.

The Dugu Family matriarch had a string of prayer beads in hand, and she snorted coldly. “You did very well. An alleged descendant of the Yu Family who came out of nowhere—he’s just a destitute and helpless boy. How dare he humiliate the Dugu Family like this. It’s good he doesn’t come back. If he does, we must let him know that he is not fit to even bear my grandchildren’s shoes.”

With that, she continued to count her prayer beads. The Dugu Family butler quietly retreated.

Meanwhile, a black car stopped in front of Su Huiqing’s villa.

The Su Family truly doted on Su Huiqing.

They gave her the best of everything.

Hands on the steering wheel, Yu Shijin gazed at the brightly-lit villa. His chilly eyes slowly warmed.

Inside the villa, Uncle Chen was in the living room watching television.

He saw that Yu Shijin had returned.

He immediately turned off the television and stood up respectfully. “Mr. Yu, have you eaten?”

A bevy of servants rushed in enthusiastically, bringing Yu Shijin a pair of slippers, helping him hang his clothes and setting aside his keys for him. One even brought him a carton of milk.

Su Lun had personally selected these servants as he was worried that Su Huiqing would not be used to living here.

Those servants appeared oblivious to his frigid aura.

With the carton of milk in hand, Yu Shijin calmly shook his head at Uncle Chen.

Uncle Chen immediately ordered the kitchen to prepare some food.

Uncle Chen left the room.

Empress Su, who was nestled by Uncle Chen’s feet as they watched television earlier, was shocked.

It tried to bury its face into the sofa. A snow-white lambskin blanket was on the couch, and it pulled it over its body to hide.

Unfortunately, Yu Shijin already saw it the moment he entered.

He sat down placidly. “Empress Su, since she allowed you to stay on, you better obediently keep by her side. Otherwise, I will cut off your foxtail.”

With that, he crushed the milk carton.

He then lifted his eyes and smiled viciously at Empress Su.

In that short instance, before Uncle Chen returned, Yu Shujin had once again turned into a carefree youth teasing a fox.

Empress Su trembled in fright.

Upstairs.

Su Huiqing had just bathed and was looking at her pristine face in the mirror.

Those cool, clear eyes hardened slightly.

She was very sure that Yu Shijin knew her.

But how did he manage to recognize her?

Before she could ponder this further, her cell phone rang…
