C19 (2/2)

”Why are you so sure?”

”Because the one who kept the map was my mother.”

In this world, wasn't parents the most worrisome people?

Lü Mingjie looked at the three of them and said, ”With this condition, in exchange for your two lives, I won't be able to come up with a good deal.”

”It's worth it. If you don't agree to let me leave today, Monkey Shadow won't feel safe.” Ye Wen Han looked at the monkey and said.

The monkey, Shadowless, agreed, ”Ye Mo Han is now useful to me. He is my free umbrella. If you kill him, then what happens if you kill me after you get the map?”

Lu Mingjie laughed coldly, ”After I get the map, none of you will be able to escape. I'll let you go now. ”

Ye Mo Han and the other two did not expect Lu Mingjie to agree so readily. He turned around and was about to leave, when he heard Lu Mingjian say: ”But, you must leave this woman behind as a hostage.”

”No.” Ye Mo Han replied decisively.

When Liu Yiyi heard that Lu Mingjie wanted her as a hostage, she panicked. But seeing Ye Chonglou reply so straightforwardly, the happiness in his heart overcame his panic. He didn't know why, but in his heart, he was thinking that if he could save his own life, it would be worth it even if he were to die for him. In the past few days, the figure in Liu Yiyi's mind would appear from time to time. In her dreams, she even dreamed of being coquettish with someone whose face could not be clearly seen. She had a faint feeling that Ye Mo Han was somehow related to the person in her mind.

”Alright, I'll stay.” Liu Yiyi thought for a while and agreed to be Lu Mingjie's hostage. Ye Mo Han and Monkey Shadowless were surprised.

Ye Mo gazed at Liu Yiyi. Liu Yiyi raised her head, looked at him, and smiled. Sometimes, the two of them didn't need to speak much. They could understand each other just by looking at each other. These two people could be friends, relatives, or lovers. From the look in her eyes, Ye Yiyi knew that she was leaving safely. After making up her mind, Ye Mo knew that he couldn't change her decision.

Since he couldn't change it, then he would just have to adapt to this change.

However, Monkey Shadow couldn't help but ask, ”Old man, you're so old, why would you keep a little girl around for?”

”I will give all of you a month's time. Bring your map to the Jade Spring Academy at the foot of the mountain to exchange for her. I will treat her well in this month. After the one month deadline, all of you can come and collect her corpse.” ”Lu Mingjie ignored the monkey and said to Ye Mo Han.” ”Also, if I don't want to hear about her in the martial arts world, I will kill her immediately.”

”Give me two months.” Ye Jianhan agreed to let Liu Yiyi be the hostage.

”You have no right to bargain with me.”

”In that month, I will use it to kill Xu Zihai. If he dies, it will only bring you hundreds of benefits.” Ye Mo Han was right. The Xu Zi Sea ruled over the East China Sea, and although it had nothing to do with Mount Hua, but if Lu Ming Jie really wanted to dominate the martial arts world, sooner or later, he would become Lu Ming Jie's stumbling block. Ye Mo Han grasped this point in Lu Ming Jie's mind and made the request for another month.

Lu Mingjie thought for a moment, then nodded his head, ”Alright, I'll give you one more month. After two months, if I can't see the map at the foot of Hua Shan, you don't need to see this girl anymore.”

Just like that, Liu Yiyi took the hostage and followed Lu Mingjie. Their figures gradually disappeared into the broken ashes.

”Even if you killed Xu Zihai, that map would be gone. How are you going to save her?”

”Two months is more than enough time to kill two people.” Ye Mo Han seemed very confident. In two months, would he really be able to kill Lu Mingjie?
