Chapter 422 Unforeseen Circumstances

The sun was setting.

And Red Lake City was a very beautiful city, and the sunset made it an even more lovely sight.

Ye Ci blinked at the man sitting beside her, and blinked again. She then looked towards the lake not far away, and rubbed her ears with her thumbs. Her expression was that of shock and confusion. I must’ve heard it wrong, haven’t I?

Her body language was saying that same thing.

The man sighed when he saw her reaction. It’s a very obvious question. Does she have to react like that? “Yes, you heard me right.”

The movements of Ye Ci’s hands stopped, and she sighed at Breeze, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“I’ll be straightforward with you Gongzi You. I’m here today because I have information that nobody else have.” Breeze has gathered a lot of information about Gongzi You. He knew her habits well, and especially her strong dislike for people who beat around the bush. She was a cunning person. He knew that he could not best Gongzi You in a word game.

Of course, there were people in this world who would willingly allow themselves to get tricked. But Breeze did not count himself as one of them. He was never greedy, and he did not like to be placed in a position of disadvantage as well.

Ye Ci acted as if she did not understand Breeze’s words. She continued staring at him innocently, but he could see the calculative look in her eyes.

Breeze drummed his fingers against his arm. He was not rushing the matter. He knew that Gongzi You had her own considerations as well. She would never make a decision when she could not make up her mind.

And that was why Breeze allowed her some time to think.

Ye Ci lowered her hands and narrowed her eyes at Breeze. Bai Mo was the only one who knew of her endeavors in the Southern Continent, and she knew very well that he would never let the secret slip.

“So you know something that others do not…” she smiled at Breeze, “Then how can you be sure that it’s the truth?”

Breeze was rendered speechless by her words. A deep frown appeared on his face, as if he was thinking about something. It took him quite a while to recover from this state, “Gongzi You, I know that you hold the quest lock to the Southern Continent’s Mithril ore vein. I’m not here to play reasoning games with you today. I want access to that lock.”

Ye Ci raised an eyebrow. So… The cat’s out of the back huh? She was hoping that the conversation could drag on, as it would give her the chance to earn more out of it. But Breeze apparently refused to yield the high ground to her.

“Would you mind if I repeat what I’ve said once again? That I don’t know what you’re talking about?” she spread her arms open.

“Oh, I won’t.” Breeze chuckled, “Because what you say will not alter the truth,” he looked at the setting sun, and let out a breath, “The sun is setting now. And that is the truth. The time of the day will not change just because someone says otherwise.”
