Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t wait for Gu Qingfeng to speak and suddenly smiled, "Miss Ouyang, you’re a straightforward person, and so are we. What do you want?"
"What do I want? Didn’t I tell you that day?" Ouyang Rong shrugged, blinking her eyes as she spoke.
"Didn’t you say you wanted the Hundred Miles of Mountains Map?"
"As long as you hand over the Hundred Miles of Mountains Map, I’ll help you solve the current problem."
"How will you solve it?"
Gu Qiaoqiao asked curiously.
"How will I solve it? Of course, with my Ruyi Ball." Ouyang Rong blurted out without thinking, then suddenly covered her mouth, her eyes wide, with a flash of fierceness in her eyes, she pointed at Gu Qiaoqiao, "You’re trying to trick ."
Saying that, she was about to rush forward, but was stopped by San Qi and Ba Jiao beside her. San Qi whispered, "Miss."
Even if they possess supre mana, this is the Central Plains, a place full of talent. Even without Gu Qiaoqiao here, the old man and Qin Yize are not to be underestimated. If Gu Qiaoqiao were to resort to a desperate move and kill Miss Ouyang, how would he explain it to the master living on the island?
He and Ba Jiao understand Ouyang Rong better than anyone else, knowing how important she is to the master and mistress, which is why she’s developed such a domineering personality.
But sothing’s not right. Even so, sothing seems off about Ouyang these days.
That’s why they stopped Ouyang Rong, preventing her from charging forward, lest she fall into Gu Qiaoqiao’s trap.
Just then, Qin Yize, standing at the door, suddenly raised his hand. In it was a cold gun barrel, aid at the back of Ouyang Rong’s head, stopped by San Qi and Ba Jiao. He said coldly, "If you want to negotiate, do it properly. Don’t think that just because you have all sorts of talismans protecting you, bullets aren’t deadly."
Ouyang Rong abruptly turned her head, looking shocked at Qin Yize pointing a gun at her.
She then glanced at Gu Qiaoqiao and glared fiercely at her.
Only then did she stand honestly in place, no longer restless.
Gu Qiaoqiao felt slightly relieved, confirming that what she did that day had indeed worked.
But it wasn’t enough; more pressure was needed.
So Gu Qiaoqiao spoke crisply, "Things have co to this point. It seems like we have no choice but to agree to your condition."
"Yes, you have to agree."
"After agreeing, will you let everything return to its original state?"
Ouyang Rong raised her head arrogantly and said, "That depends on my mood."
"You an that even if we give you the item, you might not restore things to their original state. So why should we give you anything at all? I suppose that secret room is also inaccessible to you, which is why you’re resorting to such tricks," Gu Qiaoqiao mocked.
"Gu Qiaoqiao, don’t think that you’re clever and sharp-tongued, but I’m telling you, there are even greater threats waiting for you ahead."
Originally, this threat was expected to make Gu Qiaoqiao furious, but unexpectedly, Gu Qiaoqiao sighed and said, "It seems like our Gu Family has no ans left, and we can only be threatened by you."
"Acknowledging this reality is best. When my father arrives, your good days will begin."
Gu Qiaoqiao took a light glance at Ouyang Rong, ignoring her words, and asked earnestly, "If I hand over the Hundred Miles of Mountains Map to you, do you have no other demands?"
"Of course, I have other demands."
"Miss." San Qi suddenly raised his voice, a hint of warning in his tone.
Ouyang Rong glanced resentfully at Qin Yize, gritting her teeth, "Consider yourself lucky this ti. As long as you hand over the painting, we’ll have no debts left."
This world is so interesting, even bandits operate like this.
Gu Qiaoqiao cursed internally but remained calm on the surface. At this ti, Zhang Yi and the Old Patriarch were not involved. They also knew that at this mont, only Gu Qiaoqiao could negotiate with Ouyang Rong, and it seed that Qiaoqiao had a plan.
Besides, Qin Yize was still pointing a gun at these three people.
Gu Qiaoqiao nodded, then turned to the Old Patriarch beside her, "Great Grandfather, we should agree; otherwise, it’ll be very troubleso in the future."
Gu Qingfeng and Gu Qiaoqiao exchanged a glance, pondered for a mont, then slowly nodded, "You are the future head of Yubao Square; it’s your decision to make."
"Alright," Gu Qiaoqiao smiled, reaching out her hand, "I agree to your terms; we have a deal."
At this mont, Gu Qiaoqiao’s outstretched hand remained suspended in mid-air, her gaze fixed on Ouyang Rong. Ouyang Rong looked at Gu Qiaoqiao’s hand and asked puzzledly, "What do you an?"
"A handshake, isn’t that a necessary step after a negotiation? Don’t you even understand that? I know you returned from abroad, and this custom also ca from abroad," Gu Qiaoqiao said in a relaxed tone.
"Of course I know." Ouyang Rong unhesitatingly extended her hand, the one with the ring on it.
Gu Qiaoqiao was waiting for this mont. She quickly shook hands with Ouyang Rong, and in that mont, all the negative emotions within and around Yubao Square were silently transferred.
Including the emotions of the four of them on this side, all transferred over.
These negative emotions are hard to find; if nothing happens, there are none at all. But due to the destruction in the hall of Yubao Square, negative emotions surged, and the four of them, under threat, harbored shadows in their hearts. These accumulated negative emotions, especially from the Old Patriarch, who has never been threatened like this in his life?
Thus, all the negative emotions in this room ford a malevolent energy that even the Mystic Sect mbers found hard to resist, like the rushing waters of the Yellow River.
In the blink of an eye, Ouyang Rong’s face turned ashen.
Gu Qiaoqiao imdiately retracted her hand, looking slightly surprised, saying, "You won, you should be happy. Why do you look so unwell?" Then she said to the two people beside her, "Is your Miss so happy that she’s forgotten herself, or is she not acclimated?"
Gu Qiaoqiao’s words ca quickly, like popping beans, leaving no ti for these people to react or think. anwhile, Ouyang Rong felt her mind was in chaos, black and gray things swirled around her, and countless black vortices seed to appear around her, pulling her in tightly.
Ouyang Rong staggered, nearly falling to the ground but was held by San Qi and Ba Jiao beside her. Then Ouyang Rong gritted her teeth and mobilized the Spiritual Energy within her body.
