Chapter 760 - Three promises (2/2)
Yang Anjing stood in the shadow of the building and scrutinized Ren Xiaosu. She asked, “You were the one who caught the paper crane at Stronghold 61’s town, right? Where’s my paper crane?”
Ren Xiaosu gave an awkward laugh and said, “Hahaha, paper crane? What paper crane?”
“You know who I am.” Yang Anjing said in an affirmative tone, “If you didn’t, you would’ve prepared to fight me at any moment. After all, you’re one of the most famous people in the supernatural world.”
“No, no, I’m not,” Ren Xiaosu replied humbly with a hint of shyness.
“You should know that I don’t like you.” Yang Anjing said, “I arranged for Xiaojin to study at Qinghe University and deliberately kept your whereabouts from her. Actually, you don’t have to pretend like you respect me. I know you’re definitely unhappy about it.”
Ren Xiaosu slowly straightened his back and stopped smiling. “True, I think that what you did was wrong. What she chooses is entirely her own decision. Even if you’re her aunt, you shouldn’t be interfering.”
Yang Anjing laughed and applauded. “This should be the way the Stronghold Destroyer
acts.”
Ren Xiaosu muttered to himself, “How did I end up becoming the Stronghold Destroyer?” He thought for a moment before saying, “So, Aunt, what are you looking for me for?”
“Your shamelessness in addressing me as aunt does make you a little cuter,” Yang Anjing said.
“Just let me know if there is anything I can help with. You’re Xiaojin’s aunt after all. If you can give us your blessings, that would be the best, of course. I don’t wish to put her in a difficult position either.” Ren Xiaosu said.
“Alright, I have to leave as well. After this expedition to the Sacred Mountains is over, head to Stronghold 61. If you two help me do three things, I won’t object to your relationship.” Yang Anjing said, “I don’t intend to threaten you, so it’s fine even if you don’t come.”
After that, Yang Anjing turned around and left. Meanwhile, Ren Xiaosu stood where he was and frowned. He wondered what Yang Anjing was planning
Ren Xiaosu’s impression of Yang Anjing was no longer that of an elder or woman. Instead, he saw her as a conspirator who played an important role in the power struggle in the Central Plains.
Should he go as she had requested? Ren Xiaosu felt he still had to discuss this with Yang Xiaojin.
At this moment, the entire research base of the Pyro Company seemed to have become a treasure trove. Everyone was tirelessly searching through the various buildings in hopes of digging out valuable information from them.
After Li Shentan and the others joined up with Ren Xiaosu outside, Qing Shen led everyone up a small path and quickly made their way out of the Sacred Mountains.
When Ren Xiaosu did not see Yan Liuyuan around, he asked anxiously, “Where’s the No. 001 Experimental?”
But when Luo Lan explained it to Ren Xiaosu, he realized this expedition to the Sacred Mountains was just a ploy by the Anjing House and the Pyro Company.
This left Ren Xiaosu at a loss for words for a while. He had wasted so much time and risked his life to come here only to discover that it had all been a farce.
But he was here to look for Yan Liuyuan. Even if it was a ploy, how dare they delay him from looking for Yan Liuyuan?
In that instant, Ren Xiaosu had an urge to destroy the Sacred Mountains…
Ren Xiaosu looked at Yang Xiaojin and quietly told her about his encounter with Yang Anjing. “Do you think we should go?”
Yang Xiaojin thought for a moment before saying, “It’s your decision. You don’t have to choose against your conscience because of me. No one can make use of me to threaten you, because I won’t change my attitude towards you based on how they treat you.” Ren Xiaosu was a little emotional. The more Yang Xiaojin considered his feelings, the more he did not want to put her in a difficult position.
