Looking at the military man’s face full of smiles, Yun You felt her heartbeat suddenly stop...
Honestly, this fact was beyond her scope of understanding, causing her brain to crash.
Isn’t this place supposed to be her ho? Why did the Apprentice Death God suddenly co here? And why was he greeting her with a smile?
Could it be that she hasn’t woken up? Is this just a new nightmare?
Yun You found it a bit difficult to comprehend.
The little girl instinctively took a step back, closed the door... then took a deep breath and opened it again.
She even wished she was just overworked, seeing an illusion that shouldn’t have appeared.
However, the dark "Iron Tower" was still standing at her door, smiling at her, just like an elder watching a child from their own family being mischievous.
Yun You instinctively rubbed her eyes.
The sunlight was still so bright, the military man still so gentle.
To speak frankly, there was a brief mont when Yun You had the urge to run away.
Her running skills were undeniable, having escaped from the Death God and underground factions countless tis, almost earning the title of the most elusive runner in Nest City, the runaway master of R9 Street.
Compared to fighting, she was actually better at running away, dashing through alleys, teasing one furious enemy after another.
But this ti, the thought of escape only lasted for a mont before she dismissed it herself.
Because she saw the Death God symbol on the military man’s wrist, a symbol this dim did not belong to a "Intern" like Mad Spirit, nor to any Death God she recognized.
She knew that the brightness of the Death God icon could reflect the Apprentice Death God’s tier, and she’d never seen a symbol like the one the military man had below a [Tier Three] Death God.
But that didn’t matter, because no matter what tier the Death God was, at this distance, he could easily catch her.
Yun You knew very well, escaping... was of no use.
Moreover, the mont the military man showed up, he ntioned her assassination of Mad Spirit, which was enough to prove that he knew her quite well...
Yet this guy didn’t make a move, and there wasn’t even a hint of hostility emanating from him.
"Could he have a special purpose? Or... is it like so Apprentice Death Gods with so perverted hobby, to tornt the enemy first, waiting until their spirit is completely broken before slowly making a move?"
Yun You slightly furrowed her brows.
At this mont, she could still calmly fill in the blanks... even if what she was thinking wasn’t anything good...
"You..."
The man who called himself "Jing" saw through Yun You’s thoughts at a glance. He uncommonly stayed silent for a mont, then sighed helplessly, chuckled, and said, "Stop overthinking, little girl."
"I have no ill intentions, I just want to have a chat with you."
As he spoke, Jing took a step forward, half his foot stepping into the room.
And as the mont his big foot landed, Yun You moved.
The little girl instinctively swung her right hand with all her might, punching Jing’s head.
Jing wasn’t surprised by this, he just sighed, raised his hand, and casually caught the heavy punch.
This fist, which could have shattered a brick, beca light as cotton in his hand, not causing a ripple.
Even so, he didn’t make it difficult for Yun You, instead, he loosened his palm, allowing the little girl, with a serious face, to withdraw her fist.
"I already said, I have no ill intentions."
"Little girl, think about it, if I really intended to harm you, how could you still be standing here intact?"
"That’s true..."
Yun You kept her gaze on Jing’s foot stepping through the door, muttering quietly, "But you’ve already trespassed, if I don’t at least symbolically resist, wouldn’t that make look pathetic... useless?"
"Anyway, I can’t run, nor beat you, might as well throw a punch, at least it’s comforting."
"Uh, that seems to make sense."
Facing Yun You’s words, Jing felt for the first ti that he couldn’t argue against it.
He could only nod and, with a smile, asked, "So now that you’ve vented and punched, can I co in?"
"Sure, please co in."
Yun You turned her body slightly, making way for him.
"Anyway, even if I refuse, I can’t stop you, might as well be a bit more dignified."
Looking at Yun You’s calm little face, Jing smiled slightly, feeling a bit more admiration for this girl in his heart.
"Those with a thunderous heart and a calm exterior, can be appointed as generals."
"This girl has a better ntality than I imagined... a good material."
Thinking that, he casually said, "You’ve got an interesting personality... quite fun."
"I don’t think it’s fun."
Yun You replied offhandedly.
She pointed to a small stool beside the coffee table, motioning for Jing to sit there, then plopped down on the sofa, appearing casually large-scale, but instinctively kept Shiqi, who was still in a "disconnected" state, behind her.
Seeing this, Jing slightly raised an eyebrow but said nothing more.
He probably wasn’t soone who cared about formalities, so he pulled over the stool and sat down.
"You see, now isn’t our situation good? You should be feeling quite at ease yourself, right? Why get so tense earlier?"
Jing said with a chuckle, casually picking up a teacup, pressed his palm, and as if performing a magic trick, poured out so tea leaves from his palm.
"At ease? You’re really bold to say that."
Yun You pushed over the hot water bottle with a look of disdain, complaining, "I was almost scared to death by you just now."
"If it weren’t for our strong will, we might already be lying on the ground."
"Wouldn’t that be good too?"
Jing took the kettle, poured two cups of tea, nonchalantly saying, "Occasionally reviewing your life is beneficial for future developnt, at least it lets you see what you did right and what you did wrong..."
"Alright, enough with the nonsense."
He handed the teacup to Yun You, calmly said, "You must be curious why I know about Mad Spirit’s matter, why I care about your fight with him, right?"
"The reason is simple—I am one of that guy’s ntors."
"To be specific, a ntor in na."
"ntor?!"
Upon hearing the word, Yun You frowned and asked, "Doesn’t that an you want to avenge him? After all, that guy said before dying that his teacher would definitely make pay... and Apprentice Death Gods have such close relations, one dies and a group cos to help..."
"Ah, no, no, no, that’s not what I an."
Jing waved his hand, explaining, "I’m just a nominal ntor, the one who actually taught Mad Spirit is another guy called [Night Blindness]."
