Lu Ye walked into the courtyard, shaking his head.
If you want to apologize, your attitude is still so high and mighty.
Saying sothing like, "I can give you an opportunity."
Is he out of his mind?
In less than half a year, he advanced to the Postnatal Second Layer, and in a little more ti, the Innate Realm would be within reach.
Only soone out of their mind would play the doormat.
Soone might get excited just by holding hands for a while.
Inner courtyard entrance.
Jiang Qingge was completely stunned.
"He... what did he say?!"
Going without dication... taking dication?
Jiang Qingge wasn’t stupid; she instantly realized he was clearly calling her crazy!
Infuriated by Lu Ye’s words, her chest continued to heave.
Jiang Qingge never imagined that Lu Ye’s insults could be so infuriating!
She mustered so much courage just to say that.
Yet she didn’t expect Lu Ye to dismiss it with disdain!
He... simply didn’t care for the opportunity she offered.
Jiang Qingge’s face gradually turned cold; she had a temper too.
If he doesn’t want this opportunity, then don’t regret it in the future!
A re late-stage Condensing Origin, her Jiang Family had many of them.
Jiang Qingge was just about to relax her guard a little, but Lu Ye’s actions sealed it with a mudslide!
...
In a dark room.
Jiang Yun stood in the room, wearing a compensatory smile.
Opposite Jiang Yun stood a man in black, his face covered by a black mask.
"Young Master Jiang, the information you provided was completely wrong, causing us to misjudge the target."
The man in black spoke with a cold voice: "This matter led to my Yellow Springs Pavilion losing an Iron dal Assassin. Young Master Jiang, do you plan to give an explanation?"
Jiang Yun smiled apologetically: "Thirteen Stewards, this ti it was indeed my fault. I’ll compensate; I’ll add an extra hundred taels of silver."
The man in black snorted coldly, "Humph! Does Young Master Jiang think that the life of a Condensing Origin Iron dal Assassin can be valued at just a hundred taels?"
Jiang Yun’s face stiffened, and he smiled wryly, "Then... what solution does Thirteen Stewards propose?"
"Two hundred taels." The man in black stated seriously.
Jiang Yun, who initially thought it would be a heavy loss, was imdiately elated upon hearing this.
Being from a side branch of the Jiang Family, he received annual dividends from the family business profits, and this amount of silver was entirely acceptable to him.
"No problem! It’s just... we might still need the Thirteen Stewards to continue the mission."
The man in black waved his hand, saying, "No need to worry about this. Since our Yellow Springs Pavilion was established over a thousand years ago, we have never failed a task for a client due to a low-level mission."
"Since the target has a late-stage Condensing Origin, next ti, I’ll directly dispatch a Silver dal Assassin of the Postnatal Realm to eliminate all unexpected events!"
Postnatal Realm?!
Hearing this, Jiang Yun was ecstatic.
The gap between the Condensing Origin Realm and the Postnatal Realm was like a chasm!
That Lu Ye was at best around the Condensing Origin Seventh or Eighth Layer; what could he do to fend off an assault from a real Postnatal Realm expert?
The Yellow Springs Pavilion is truly worthy of being the most renowned assassin organization in the Great Jing Dynasty.
Reliable as always!
Now, as long as they catch the opportunity, let’s see how they escape!
Jiang Yun couldn’t stop his internal sinister laughter.
...
Returning to the courtyard, Lu Ye imdiately pulled out the Assassin’s Money Bag and peeked inside.
"Doing assassinations really is quite lucrative."
Lu Ye looked at the thirty to forty taels of silver inside and smiled slightly.
With a bit more silver, he could specify drawing from the Talent Physique category once again!
"Just now, that woman Jiang Qingge seed to be making overtures..."
Lu Ye pondered if he should have taken the chance to borrow a hundred taels of silver from her just now.
And then tell her she hadn’t taken her dicine?
But then again, Jiang Qingge might have exploded on the spot.
Lu Ye shook his head; silver could be earned slowly; he really didn’t want any dealings with Jiang Qingge.
...
The Jiang Family’s Eldest Miss being attacked outside was naturally no small matter.
The next day, when Jiang Lianshan heard the news, he was imdiately enraged and ordered an investigation at once.
However, when the Jiang Family intelligence personnel uncovered so clues, Jiang Lianshan, upon hearing the news, fell silent once more.
Inside the hall.
Jiang Lianshan looked at Jiang Qingge, whose face was cold, wanting to say sothing, but first sighed.
The previous arranged marriage had required his eldest daughter to make sacrifices.
And now, even after being attacked, upon discovering the assassin’s identity, still... it could only be like this.
Yellow Springs Pavilion!
They have long been known to only recognize money and not people, famous across Xuanzhou and even the entire Seven States of the Great Jing!
Not to ntion that now their Jiang Family Ancestor was seriously injured, his situation unknown.
Even when the ancestor was alive, facing such a colossal force as the Yellow Springs Pavilion, even a branch in Cloud Leaf City was like using a mantis arm to stop a chariot.
Since its inception, Yellow Springs Pavilion has already assassinated more than a dozen Innate Realm experts!
Avenging against Yellow Springs Pavilion was simply a fantasy.
"Sigh... Qingge, I’ve already spoken with the people from the Yellow Springs Pavilion Cloud Leaf City Branch, no matter who hires an assassin, our Jiang Family will pay double. It’s fine now, don’t worry."
Jiang Qingge nodded coldly, feeling she cared less about life and death now.
If last night Lu Ye hadn’t suddenly displayed his late-stage Condensing Origin strength.
Both might have perished.
Thinking of this, Jiang Qingge asked, "What about Lu Ye, have you bought for him?"
Although she vividly rembered being insulted last night by him suggesting she hadn’t taken dicine.
But Jiang Qingge felt, a separate matter for a separate instance, that person, though extrely annoying, saved her.
"A Condensing Origin Seventh Layer, the Jiang Family son-in-law who ford the Inner Qi Barrier, I naturally bought it too." Jiang Lianshan chuckled and said.
"It seems this Lu Ye’s qualifications might not be as poor as we initially thought."
Hearing this, Jiang Qingge slightly gritted her teeth.
She didn’t believe it, that if she really took action, she couldn’t handle Lu Ye?
She clearly rembered, on the night of the wedding when he lifted her veil, a flash of surprise in his eyes.
aning her appearance had astonished him!
He originally had a slight liking for her.
Monts later, Jiang Qingge, whose thoughts were all over the place, once again found herself walking into Zone C of the outer courtyard.
Qing Yu, who was hanging laundry, almost jumped in fright seeing her shadow outside the courtyard.
"Miss Qingge?"
Lu Ye was having breakfast; a martial artist consus a lot, and failing to replenish food in ti can be very harmful.
Seeing the sudden appearance of Jiang Qingge, he raised an eyebrow slightly.
Was she coming for revenge today after being insulted by him about not taking dicine last night?
"Thank you for rescuing last night."
Jiang Qingge stood at the courtyard entrance, smiling.
Qing Yu was stunned, no wonder they say Miss Qingge is the number one fairy in Cloud Leaf City.
Such a scene, even Qing Yu felt a bit muddled looking at it.
After thinking for a mont, Jiang Qingge continued, "Do you... have any needs? If you feel uncomfortable living here, you can change places."
"As long as Qingge can manage it, you can ask."
Lu Ye remained expressionless, "Stead shrimp heads."
Jiang Qingge didn’t hear clearly, maintaining her smile, "What did you say? Change residence?"
Lu Ye said calmly, "Changing residence isn’t necessary, my status suits living here just fine. If you really want to thank ."
"You could lend a hundred taels of silver."
Jiang Qingge: "???"
