868 Made a Partner In Crime (1/2)

Qian Duoduo's plump cheeks jiggled as he cried out indignantly, ”A scholar who's been away for three days must be looked at with new eyes. How do you know that I won't be the one to kill the both of you then? Then and now are different times.”

As he spoke, his gaze fleeted over to Yun Yang but he did not say anything more.

The tall man was unaffected as he replied faintly, ”According to the Bound of Universe's law, we're here to rob you. We can only take your fortune and not your life. You, as the victim, can, of course, defend yourself however you want, including killing us in self-defense. However… are you able to kill us? A scholar who's been away for three days must be looked at with new eyes – too bad we've only been away for a short while. This idiom isn't even suited for us!”

Yun Yang rolled his eyes.

Qian Duoduo's protest was clearly meant for him –”They can't kill me, but we can kill them, it won't infringe the Bound of Universe's law!”

In spite of this, who were 'we'? The fatty wanted to make Yun Yang his partner in crime! The latter honestly had no intention of provoking such a nuisance, thus he took a few more steps back and was ready to leave at any moment.

After all, he had just arrived in this realm. The information he had received was too limited. It was best if he could stay away from anything outside of the plan. Otherwise, Yun Yang would have slaughtered Qian Duoduo when he ambushed him earlier. It was because he had just come to the Bound of Universe that he did not do so. He knew very well how severe the consequences would be if one thing triggered another.

An ordinary looking fellow could carry a massively different background behind him. Yun Yang was a new Ascended. He knew too little about this world. It would be extremely unwise to make any enemies now. His current plan was to acquire a general picture of the Bound of Universe, its distribution of forces and the overt as well as covert rules it imposed. After that, he would cultivate in immersion to increase his ability some more before he entered the martial world and seek opportunities to climb the martial ladder.

The Bound of Universe was different from Tianxuan Continent. Yun Yang was without the Nine Heavens Dictum's intelligence support nor did he have Empire of Yutang's assistance. He had to depend on himself. Not only did he have to plant his feet on the ground and carry each step out practically, but he also had to be cautious, like he was walking on ice!

To recklessly find fault when he did not have any basis to do so and not even the least amount of knowledge of this world… Yun Yang would never do such a thing.

In spite of this, the vicissitudes of life meant that nothing was predictable. There was a saying that one was not afraid of something bad that happened for it would be worse if one met someone bad!

When Qian Duoduo saw Yun Yang's movement, he was prompt and decisively pointed a finger at Yun Yang.

”He has snatched the Rimed Orchid. What can you do to me now?”

He sounded like a thug but he was, in truth, pushing the responsibility away. Otherwise, he would have said that the flower was snatched by someone else and not point fingers directly at Yun Yang. It was apparent that he intended for Yun Yang to be dragged into the mess.

The pair's gazes shot over like lightning strikes as fiendish smiles tugged at the corners of their mouths. They were robbing Qian Duoduo and due to the law's restriction, they dared not kill him. With the intervention of a third party, however, the situation was different. This was an additional bandit; it would become bandit killing bandit. There was no restriction of law factored, thus making it easier for the pair to make their move!

”Child…”

Before the lean and tall one could finish what he was saying, Yun Yang did something that caught the three people by surprise.

He retrieved the jade box that contained the Rimed Orchid and opened it, exposing the Effervescent Rimed Orchid before saying, ”It's this orchid, correct?”

He then closed the jade box and 'swoosh', went the box as his arm swung. The jade container landed in Qian Duoduo's embrace. The latter's jaw dropped, panicking as he held the jade box.

'How did – how did the Rimed Orchid come back to me, just like this?'

'You're a f*cking third level Honor!'

'Third level Honor!'

'Where's your courage?'

'Where's your sense of responsibility?'
