“What?” When Yuchi Peng heard that, he immediately stood up in shock.
As he was overly agitated, the chair by his leg was flipped onto the ground.
His pale plexion surfaced an air of death.
After some time later, he suddenly laughed out loudly.
He laughed so much that his entire body started twitching as his eyes which stared at Duke Jing was dreary and hollow.
Ye Qing Luo suddenly frowned but she didn’t interrupt Yuchi Peng’s insane laughter.
Yuchi Peng laughed until he couldn’t breath as he stopped to cough.
As he coughed, his feet unstably fell onto the ground.
He couldn’t get up so he might as well just sat there with his four limbs sprawled on the ground.
Ye Qing Luo poured a cup of tea as she slowly walked next to him and delivered the water to his face.
Yuchi Peng who laid on the ground totally ignored the cup of tea which was right before his eyes.
His gaze was still hollow as a smile creaked on his lips, “You know what, the person who told me that the Mercenary Association who was going to award the high grade rare mission on that day, were people from the dark forces.”
The minute he said that, the entire main hall entered a state of silence.
The cup in Ye Qing Luo’s hand trembled as she frowned and swiftly placed the cup on one side. With her backhand, she grabbed Yuchi Peng’s collar, “What did you say?”
“Dark cloaked man, figure rickety, ear piercing voice, unable to distinguish the gender…..”
Every single word was a repetition of what Duke Jing said earlier.
Immediately, his pale lips stammered, “It’s this black cloaked man who told me that the Mercenary Association will award this mission to head to Death God Castle, to steal the Exquisite Pagoda. And Duke Jing will assist me in successfully pleting this mission.”
“Didn’t Duke Jing brought you to deal with the dark forces, don’t tell me you’ve never met that black cloaked man?” Ye Qing Luo suspiciously frowned.
Earlier Yuchi Peng appeared as though he didn’t know what the dark forces were.
Furthermore, Yuchi Peng was the future Patriarch of the Yuchi family so if he met the black cloaked man who told him about this mission, why would he still agree to do the soul trade with the black cloaked man through Duke Jing?
With Yuchi Peng’s intelligence, he would naturally understand that there was something fishy about this.
“No.” The fingers on Yuchi Peng’s left hand clenched tightly into a fist.
The smile on his face slowly turned painful.
Towards the desire for strength, it had totally masked both his eyes.
Perhaps he was too self-confident, believing in his own ability and believing that under his intoxication, Duke Jing didn’t have the guts to cheat him.
He had never met the so-called dark forces’ envoy.
All these had been municated through Duke Jing.
The crowd was silent.
Yuchi Peng had been forcefully brought over directly from the Death God Castle.
Later on, they made Iron Blood Warriors’ men bring Duke Jing to exchange for Yuchi Peng.
These two people had no chance to collude their stories beforehand.
After all, Yuchi Peng had always believed in the dark forces’ power and had always assumed that as long as the dark forces’ energy appended onto his own body, not to mention just one Ye Qing Luo, even if there were ten of her, he would not be afraid at all.
However…. Yuchi Peng’s manner didn’t look like he was faking it.
Joining these two people’s words together, it was a huge scheme.
Ye Qing Luo narrowed her charming eyes as she stared at Yuchi Peng’s ashen face. After a while she raised her voice, Jin Zi, arrange for some brothers to send Eldest Young Master Yuchi and Duke Jing back to the Iron Blood Warriors!”
After Yuchi Peng and Duke Jing had been sent away, Long Yun Zhan’s aloof azure blue eyes looked at Ye Qing Luo, “This dark forces’ aim…. seems to be directed at you?”
Ye Qing Luo returned to her own seat and sat down with a grave look as she nodded, “I have the same kind of feeling.”
Merging both Yuchi Peng and Duke Jing’s words together, it was evident that behind all these was a pair of invisible mastermind who was pushing for the development of this plan.
These two people were simply a piece of chess for the dark forces.
