Mingyue let out a cold laugh.
Suddenly, a sharp dagger sliced her middle finger, and Mingyue glanced at Yun Ya as a drop of blood from her fingertip dripped into the cup of water, instantly rging with the liquid.
Uncle Chang didn’t know what she was doing and couldn’t help but ask coldly, "What kind of trick is this?"
Mingyue lifted the cup and swirled it, the light refracting coldly in her eyes, "In my hotown, there’s a ritual, pledging with one’s own blood as a guide. If broken, a curse of death by lightning."
As she spoke, her expression carried an inexplicable solemnity.
Uncle Chang was montarily shocked, his gaze fixed on Mingyue. This person exudes an ominous aura and her origins are bizarre. Should she really stay by Miss’s side? At this mont, he hesitated.
"Miss...."
Yun Ya smiled lightly, "Interesting."
Mingyue looked at her, "I, Mingyue, swear here that as long as I’m alive, I will protect Miss for a day. If I break this vow, may I be struck by lightning and die a horrible death."
After speaking, she raised the cup and drained it in one go.
The boldness of her actions exuded elegance, revealing a chivalrous spirit.
This person not only has strange skills but is also shrouded in mystery. Why does she insist on staying by my side?
But that’s alright, she has plenty of ti to find out.
Is it dangerous? If she really ant to kill , with her skills, I would be dead a thousand tis over.
"Excuse , I need to use the restroom." Dropping the cup, she suddenly walked out.
Yun Ya’s eyes narrowed slightly.
"Ah Le, take her to the bathroom," Uncle Chang ordered.
Once she had walked away, Uncle Chang quickly spoke up, "I saved this person by accident, and later when I found out she has extraordinary skills, I thought to have her stay by Miss’s side for protection. However, her identity is unknown, and without a thorough investigation, I dared not rashly bring her to Miss. Unexpectedly, you two t today by chance. Miss, I still don’t know her identity, and just in case, we must remain cautious."
"There’s no need, Uncle Chang, let her follow from now on. You’ve seen it too, with her abilities, if she intended to harm , none of you could stand against her." There’s another point she didn’t ntion, this person staying with her must have so other purpose, regardless, this person is definitely involved with so secret.
Better to be proactive than passive.
Uncle Chang nodded, "I’ll listen to Miss, and I will soon find out this person’s identity."
As he spoke, Mingyue returned.
The two fell silent and began serving the dishes.
Yun Ya continuously observed Mingyue in secret. She ate quickly, as if through chanical training, though fast it appeared quite graceful, carrying an indescribable aura.
Yun Ya lowered her gaze quietly.
Mingyue put down her chopsticks, "Another bowl, please." The rice bowl in front of her was already empty.
The waiter ca in and served her another bowl of rice.
Not until she had eaten five bowls did she put down her chopsticks, "I’m full."
Yun Ya was dumbfounded, with her own appetite, half a bowl would be enough, yet the other needed five bowls to be satisfied, and she looked so slim, surprisingly she could eat so much.
As if seeing through what Yun Ya was thinking, Mingyue said, "Is Miss worried about not being able to afford feeding ?" This woman was the epito of a stoic face, maintaining the sa expression no matter what she said.
Yun Ya smiled, "No, with my wealth, I can more than afford to keep you."
Mingyue raised an eyebrow slightly, "Going out for so fresh air." With that, she stood up and walked out.
Uncle Chang intended to discuss matters with Yun Ya earlier, but with Mingyue present, it was inconvenient to speak, now that she was gone, he took so ti to quickly relay what he needed to discuss with Yun Ya.
"Old Sixth Gu has already taken the bait. He holds quite a position in Qinglong Hall, being Brother Qing’s second confidant. As long as we have him in the palm of our hand, infiltrating Qinglong Hall will beco much easier."
"What I need is intelligence from Qinglong Hall."
"Rest assured, Miss, I understand. I will arrange reliable people to infiltrate. To find out the young master’s whereabouts, we must remain steady, impatience will get us nowhere." Otherwise, why expend so much manpower and resources to expand northwards? It’s all for the young master who has been missing for two years.
Yun Ya picked up the cup and took a gentle sip, suppressing the chill in her eyes.
"What about Dong Xieyou?"
"This person is very cautious but has still shown so flaws." Uncle Chang handed her a photo, it was secretly taken, showing a young girl, "Dong Xieyou has been in close contact with this person recently, but her identity hasn’t been uncovered yet, though we can’t rule out the possibility of them belonging to the sa faction."
