Chapter Seven Hundred and Eighty Three – Youqin Lie’s Skills (2/2)

Assassin!

Only those assassins that moved in the darkness would give him a feeling like this. He also knew from his days as a member of the underground what level of assassin he was facing.

Uncle Yan’s expression was normal, and he was motionless like a statue. His expression was still calm as though he did not feel the murderous intent at his back.

“Why are you doing this, Miss has not refused you.” Uncle Yan’s voice did not tremble at all. He seemed to be describing a simple truth.

“Our time is precious.” Another voice came from another direction in the darkness. This voice was light, and filled with warmth and friendliness as though they were talking with an old friend.

Yet Uncle Yan’s eyelid flicked. He was still composed. “We need time to consider. You also know that this is a significant decision.”

“Actually, I don’t mind kidnapping her.” The soft female voice in the darkness seemed to say in a teasing tone. “Or send her to the bed of Elder Yi’s grand-nephew.”

Uncle Yan’s heart suddenly dropped.

“We did not do so because she is an outstanding candidates.” The voice in the darkness was still cheerful. “However, you know that people in our profession never put our eggs in one basket. She is outstanding, but not irreplaceable.”

Uncle Yan was silent but he also knew that there was no chance now. “What do you want?”

“That’s right, don’t make it difficult for me. Everyone’s out to make a living, why make ourselves unhappy? We only need her talent, not her body. We will protect her clan, our offer is very sincere. Other than me, I believe that no one will offer such a deal.” The voice cheerfully added from the darkness, “A condition like this should not be refused.”

Uncle Yan was a person who lived life on the edge of his blade. He could hear the other’s decisiveness and strong presence. His side and their side were not on the same level.

He was silent for a moment before he said, “I will persuade Miss.”

“Great, I give you my thanks.” The voice in the darkness was still so warm and friendly yet the next sentence they said was as cruel and ruthless as a blade’s edge. “Boss said one thing that may make you unhappy, but for our beautiful partnership, I have decided to be honest.”

“What words?” Uncle Yan’s cold sweat dripped down his back. The murderous intent from the other direction became even stronger as though it was going to pierce into his bones. He even suspected that the other would suddenly attack in the next moment.

“Lambs do not qualify to negotiate with wolves.”

The phrase swirled like smoke.

The sharp murderousness at his back slowly retreated. However, Uncle Yan was motionless like a statue. A long time later, he shifted his body. His body was completely covered in sweat.

Yet his face was ashen right now. The other’s words right before they left hit him at his weak point like a hammer.

At this time, whines suddenly came from the darkness.

Uncle Yan’s expression changed slightly. He shot like lightning into the darkness.

In the darkness, he found Cang Ling Xue pale faced, tied up and gagged.

“I do not like this,” Nan Yue said calmly. At her side, the other people also had gazes full of unfriendliness and enmity. In their view, it was too cruel of Youqin Lie to use such terrible actions against a girl of only seventeen.

Youqin Lie glanced at her. “It’s fine if the result is the same.”

“Are you even a person! Do you even have any kindness! You are a demon, you are a bastard!” Nan Yue suddenly shouted furiously at Youqin Lie. She suddenly reached out and gripped Youqin Lie’s neck, her eyes sprouting fire.

She appeared as though she wanted to snap Youqin Lie’s neck.

Snap!

No one saw the movement. Youqin Lie seemed to turn into a shadow and then the two switched positions. He had grabbed Nan Yue’s neck.

The orange-haired yao and the others suddenly stood up.

“If anyone moves, she’s dead.” Youqin Lie’s cold voice echoed in the hall.

The orange-haired yao and the others stopped where they were. They could hear that the other was honest, he would really kill Nan Yue!

Youqin Lie expressionlessly looked over the group, intimidating them all.

Translator Ramblings: Nan Yue and the others are too honest and innocent. Pu Yao is toughening them up.
