Chapter 420 - Chapter 420: Chapter 412: Looking Down on People_1 (2/2)

Ye Ji was not slow-witted and immediately perceived that Qin Niu was concerned about his personal safety.

She promptly stated that both she and another close servant of the Gang Leader would protect Qin Niu closely.

“Since the Gang Leader has been so thoughtful on my behalf, it would be really inexcusable for me to refuse anymore. Alright, I’ll get ready, and then I’ll rush to the frontline with you.”

Qin Niu knew he definitely needed to make some extra preparations before heading to the frontline to confront a formidable enemy.

Fortunately, he had acquired an Earth Escape Talisman last time.

The talismans from the Dark Talisman Language Shop were of exceptional quality, and that Earth Escape Talisman could help him escape to safety in a critical moment.

“Xiao Qing, please take good care of Miss Ye Ji here, I’ll be back shortly.”

After Qin Niu gave his instructions, he turned and entered the back room.

His two wives had already heard their conversation.

Filled with worry, they were utterly reluctant to have their husband head to the frontline.

But there was no way for them to resist the command of the Black Tiger Gang Leader.

Don’t be fooled by the polite tone of the Black Tiger Gang Leader’s invitation for Qin Niu to help; Qin Niu really had no option to refuse.

It’s somewhat like when a company leader asks an employee to work overtime – it sounds polite and seems like a request, but in reality, it’s more like a command. As long as that employee still wants to progress and keep their job, they will likely not refuse the overtime.

“Husband, the frontline is extremely dangerous. When you go, you must be careful. Cai Xian and I will be waiting for you at home to return.”

Wang Wanyan, despite her many reservations, did not try to stop him.

She always knew the bigger picture, and she never made a fuss over such significant matters.

“You two practice cultivation at home in peace—no need to go into the mountains during this time. The mountains are very dangerous, and without me at home, I worry about you encountering accidents.”

Qin Niu cautioned the two of them.

They stood to his left and right, holding onto Qin Niu and nodding hard with their lips tightly bitten.

Tears were already welling up in Tang Caixian’s eyes.

But she didn’t say a word.

“Go back to your rooms! I have to pack some things, and then I’ll need to leave shortly. If you encounter any difficult issues that you cannot resolve while I’m away, feel free to send someone to find help from the Fang Family in the city.”

Qin Niu had some acquaintance with Fang Lian.

If his wives faced a big problem during his absence, common people would not have the capability to help them.

Only a top-tier family like the Fang Family would have the ability to do so.

Having instructed his wives, Qin Niu left from the back door of the courtyard, heading straight for the mountains.

He needed to bring more Termite with him.

It was a pity that the Fire Phoenix had only signed an equal contract with him and could not be brought along like the Green Ox.

Otherwise, there would be nothing for him to fear.

At the frontline, faced with even the most powerful of enemies, he just needed to let the Fire Phoenix take action, and it would immediately burn the enemy to ash.

Just as Qin Niu exited the back gate of the courtyard, his vision blurred, and Ye Ji appeared in front of him.

“Master Qin, why don’t I accompany you to the frontline? If there’s any danger, I can protect you,” Ye Ji said politely, though her eyes betrayed a lack of trust.

She had clearly misunderstood, thinking Qin Niu was becoming frightened at the last minute and was trying to flee.

“Miss Ye Ji, you are quite well-informed, keeping such a close watch on my every move. Be assured, if I truly wanted to hide, you wouldn’t be able to stop me. Just wait here for me.”

There was a hint of pride in Qin Niu’s tone.

This young woman was judging him through a narrow gap, underestimating him.

He had never considered running away.

Ye Ji stared at him intently for a good five or six seconds before stepping aside.

“I will wait here for Master Qin to return! Please come back soon, so I don’t have to report a failure,” Ye Ji said, her words sounding like a double entendre.

Qin Niu, not bothering to respond, directly dashed off into the mountains.

Displaying the Misty Rain Elusive Step, he vanished from Ye Ji’s sight in the blink of an eye.
