Chapter 384 : Green Plum Meets Wine 35 (1/2)

Yu Xingyun drove Gu Yan back to his company, though the atmosphere in the car was a bit heavy. Once they stopped at a traffic light, Yu Xingyun finally spoke, “That kid, Xiaoxia…”

“Is being real strange, right?” Gu Yan filled in for him in a natural manner. “She’s changed a lot these past few years. I don’t know where she learned all this from. Sometimes I worry that she’ll stray down the wrong path.”

Yu Xingyun freed up a hand to hold Gu Yan’s. “That kid has her own opinions, and she’s very confident. She did a great job dealing with Sheng Shi Group. Though her methods were a bit rough, it’s definitely the fastest way. If it were us, we wouldn’t have been able to think of something like that.”

Gu Yan’s brows were still tightly knit. “Yang Huairen isn’t that easy to deal with.”

“I’ve already collected some material on him. The stuff that he did isn’t easy to hide… Don’t worry.”

Gu Yan looked at him and forced a smile on his face.

……

Shi Sheng was very calm towards running into the leads after seeing Yao Qin home. ‘The leads are but mere passing clouds…

Yao Qin doesn’t live in a high-class neighbourhood, so why the hell are the leads here?! To sightsee the lovely nightscape?’

Though it was clear that this wasn’t the case—the leads had been chased here. Leads always had a lot of enemies.

Because they’d run into each other in a narrow alleyway, Yin Mo and Shen Jiayin were forced to a halt, whereupon their pursuers immediately blocked off any path of retreat behind them.

But since they didn’t know whose side Shi Sheng and Yu jiu were on, it fell into a stalemate.

“Wait for me a bit.” Shi Sheng told Yu Jiu.

Yu Jiu smiled and nodded before retreating to one side. Though he appeared quite at ease, in actual fact, his whole body was tense, ready to spring into action at any time.

“Everyone says it’s best to beat a dog while it’s down. Shen Jiayin, don’t say I bullied you. After all, who told you to come running into me?” Shi Sheng’s voice travelled to their ears. Although she had made her stance clear, there was no way the pursuers would believe her this easily, so they continued to observe.

Shen Jiayin spoke calmly, “Sheng Xia, let’s put our enmity to the side for now. You’re a cultivator, so they won’t let you off either.”

Though she seemed to be on Shi Sheng’s side, in truth, she was revealing Shi Sheng’ status as a cultivator.

Shi Sheng narrowed her eyes and looked at the pursuers. ‘Who’re these people?’

“Little girl, as long as you help us take them down, we will reward you greatly.” The pursuers stood in the darkness and shouted towards Shi Sheng.

“Sheng Xia, they’re lying to you!” Shen Jiayin anxiously cried out.

Yin Mo didn’t say anything this entire time. He couldn’t help but examine Shi Sheng when his gaze landed on her.

“I don’t care.” Shi Sheng shrugged and, with a turn of her wrist, her sword appeared. “Let’s maim you first.”

‘Kill her? How could I kill FL-sama?’

Shen Jiayin’s expression changed, but Shi Sheng was already charging towards her at a speed that would cause one to cluck their tongues in amazement.

Heat rose in Yin Mo’s eyes. ‘This woman’s cultivation isn’t low!’

Shen Jiayin only had the basic ability to protect herself. She wasn’t a cultivator, so for Shi Sheng to hit her was as easy as turning her wrist.

“Yin Mo!” Shen Jiayin tried fighting back with her bare hands, but lost within two moves, so she could only call out to Yin Mo for help.

But he acted like he hadn’t heard her, as he coldly watched Shi Sheng kick Shen Jiayin to the ground. He stepped forward, his eyes burning. “Sheng Xia, how about coming with me?”

“What did you just say?” Shi Sheng thought she was hearing things. ‘ML-sama’s not rescuing his FL and instead asking me to leave with him?’

“Come with me. Everything he can give you, I can too.”

Yin Mo’s gaze made Shi Sheng very uncomfortable, as if he was scrutinising her like an object.

‘It’s always been me looking at other people like that! This ML is very bold!

Very good! ML-sama, you’ve broken completely and succeeded in drawing my(bbb) attention!’

“Mr Yin, daring to try and snatch my person before my very eyes? You ought to go apply for the Guinness Book of World Records for face thickness.” Yu Jiu stepped forward and drew Shi Sheng into his arms, domineeringly staking his claim.

“Sheng Xia, you can consider it. You’re always welcome to come look for me.” Yin Mo ignored Yu Jiu as his figure flashed and disappeared before their very eyes.

Shi Sheng, “…”
