Chapter 104 You Nian Pavilion’s Guards (2/2)
When the remaining guards returned to their small courtyard, they noticed Lan You Nian sitting there.Looking at them Lan You Nian asked, “Was today dangerous?”
“Very dangerous!” Zhang Lin answered as usual.
“Afraid?” Lan You Nian’s eyes smiled, but that smile didn’t reach the bottom of her eyes.
“Not afraid!” A unanimous but equally firm answer, all fifteen guards stood up straight.It was a habit and tenacity that was honed from the battlefield.
“Very good, do know what your duties are?” Lan You Nian nodded as she continued to question them.
“Protect young miss.Obey young miss’s orders!” A firm reply, without any time for consideration needed.
“Then do you know how weak you are?” Lan You Nian stood up, her back as straight as them, her bearing forced these people into submission.
The fifteen guards didn’t utter a sound.In their eyes, Lan You Nian found unwillingness to submit and unwillingness to admit defeat.Very good, Lan You Nian smiled inside.
“En” The clearly still soft voice carried some hints of danger.Lan You Nian really didn’t like no one answering her question.
“Very weak.Please ask young miss to punish!” Zhang Lin fell down on his knees.The other fourteen people followed suit.Although they were red-blooded men but they didn’t have any pride.They were indeed weak.Even with them all working together, they couldn’t handle the assassins.But young miss’s subordinates cleaned up the assassins within minutes.They saw it was their own eyes and understood in their hearts.
“You know why you aren’t powerful?” Lan You Nian’s tone emitted a chill.This was a young miss they have never seen before.The eyebrows above the veil seemed to be dyed with deadliness, “Because they have climbed out from countless life and death encounters.Because they experienced hardships ordinary people are unable to suffer!”
“Now, I give you a chance.Become stronger with me, but you will likely lose your life.Before you are strong, you would already have gone to see King Yama!” Lan You Nian continued to say, “Leave You Nian Pavilion now.I will allow you to continue to follow General Lan!”
Lan You Nian didn’t need them to answer her immediately.She simply sat there for a while, then she heard the fifteen people with unshakeable expression and words, “I am willing to follow young miss!”
“Even if you lose your life?”
“Even if we lose our life!”
“Good!” Lan You Nian unveiled her face.Since they were her Lan You Nian’s subordinate, then they deserved her Lan You Nian’s trust.Lan You Nian exposed her face and smiled at them.
“~Gasp~” Everyone was shocked.They didn’t expect their young miss to be so beautiful.There were even a few younger guards who were blushing.But none of them had any unrealistic thoughts they shouldn’t have.They were entirely just appreciating beauty.
“Nurse your injuries these next few days, then follow me to a place that can make you stronger!” Finished with what she came to say, Lan You Nian left the small courtyard.She didn’t see the fifteen guards’ eyes brimming with loyalty and appreciation in their pursuit.
“Lan Qu, after Lan Feng finishes investigating the assassins, tell her that she and I are going to Wu Qing Pavilion!” Lan You Nian instructed.
“Young miss wants to let these people join Wu Qing Pavilion?” Lan Qu asked in confusion.It was too risky.Although Wu Qing Pavilion knew Young Master Wu Qing but they didn’t know Young Master Wu Qing was their young miss.
“No, they’re just my Lan You Nian’s guards!” Lan You Nian smiled, “I’m only taking them to second brother’s place to train.After all they are too weak now; they can’t do anything!”
Lan Qu trembled.Second master’s training technique was extremely cruel.These techniques were all thought out by young miss.Young miss demonstrated this training arena and came out severely injured.Following her was the several young masters.Then it was Lan Ren, Lan Feng, and then many of Wu Qing Pavilion’s subordinates who climbed out of that place.At that time, she and Lan Wu didn’t have any martial arts, so they didn’t enter but they knew the dangers of that place.
“If they aren’t able to bear it and lose their life?” Lan Wu walked in and asked curiously but there was no sympathy in her eyes.If young miss let her receive training, she won’t even bat an eyelash.
“So today they were given a choice!” Lan Wu said.Young miss wasn’t a cold-blooded person but neither was she a sentimental one.Young miss gave them a warning, gave them a choice, but once they made a choice, they can’t turn back or shrink away.Even if they died young miss won’t even frown.
