Ye Lingyue’s heart ached, but it was for Lan Cai’er.
"Jingyun, why are you here? rcenary City is a place of mixed company, and you’re not in good health." Dao Ge beca tender and soft the mont he encountered Song Jingyun.
"I’ve been staying at ho and felt bored. Coincidentally, a son of an old friend of my mother also wanted to co to rcenary City, so I ca with him." Behind Song Jingyun, two more n appeared.
Ye Lingyue and Lan Cai’s brows tightened.
Hong Yulang and Zhuge Yi?
Seeing that Hong Yulang wasn’t dead didn’t surprise Ye Lingyue too much.
After Hong Fang was killed, Ye Lingyue ordered a re-examination of the three bodies from the Hong Residence. Aside from verifying Zhuge Rou’s body, the others were all impostors.
The Daxia Court had issued an arrest warrant, but what Ye Lingyue didn’t expect was that Hong Yulang wasn’t stupid either; he had actually fled to the no-man’s-land of rcenary City.
Dao Ge’s fiancée Song Jingyun’s father is the current Alliance Hierarch of the rcenary Alliance, and her mother was once a disciple of Zhuge Yi, and when she was a young girl, she was close friends with Zhuge Rou.
The day after Hong Mingyue drove Hong Yulang away, Zhuge Yi had the idea of going to rcenary City to seek refuge with Alliance Leader Song.
Song Jingyun just happened to hear that her fiancé Dao Ge was also in rcenary City and sought him out.
Is this woman Sister Lan’s romantic rival?
Ye Lingyue sized up Song Jingyun. Unlike Lan Cai’s straightforward character, Song Jingyun seed like a white lotus flower. She was delicate and appeared so frail as if a gust of wind might knock her over, easily invoking a man’s desire to protect.
Dao Ge glanced at Hong Yulang and Zhuge Yi, feeling doubtful. Perhaps looking for a man would be better; after all, Bo Qing dislikes won.
At this ti, Hong Yulang also saw Bo Qing. Seeing his delicate face, Hong Yulang seed utterly lost, and then glancing at his male attire, Hong Yulang’s body wobbled as if he couldn’t withstand the impact.
"Bo Qing?" Dao Ge looked at Bo Qing, pleadingly.
He had always been very indulgent toward Song Jingyun.
Bo Qing pursed his lips, looked at Hong Yulang, and then at the pitch-black Ye Lingyue. His expression was sowhat strange.
In the end, he didn’t speak, which was taken as consent.
"Miss, thanks to you." Little Li wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Hei Yue and Miss Lanlan, would you like to join ’Emperor’s Slaughter’?"
After such a commotion, Ye Lingyue had already lost interest in joining any rcenary team.
However, at this ti, the man standing to the side with a scar on his face gave her a chilling glance.
Moved by so inexplicable impulse, Ye Lingyue actually nodded in agreent.
"Captain Di, thank you for saving the other day. We also want to join ’Emperor’s Slaughter’." Xia ng, who admired Wu Zhong, quickly stepped forward, looking at him shyly with a flush on her face.
She was confident that with her abilities and appearance, "Emperor" would certainly agree to her.
Only then did Ye Lingyue realize that this man, who had been standing there silently, was actually the team leader of "Emperor’s Slaughter." The elegantly-looking "Slaughter" seed to be just an errand runner.
"Get lost." The man’s voice was cold and slightly hoarse as he threw out the comnt.
Xia ng’s face turned from red to white in an instant, her eyes brimming with tears of disbelief.
"Sister Xia, don’t be angry, eh? Aside from , our ’Emperor’ team leader doesn’t like people who look prettier than him." Yan Jiu said jokingly, implying that Hei Yue and Lan Lan were chosen because they were not attractive.
After saying that, Yan Jiu felt a chill down his spine; Ye Lingyue and Lan Cai were "stabbing" him with their glares.
"Lady Xia, if you don’t mind, you can join ’Blood Drink,’" said Song Jingyun as she stepped forward, extending an olive branch.
Bo Qing furrowed his brows, glancing at Dao Ge, who could only offer a wry smile.
"Thank you, Miss Song. Big sister, let’s join ’Blood Drink’ after all," said Xia Yin and Xia Qing, the two sisters who were sowhat afraid of "Emperor." In the end, all three sisters joined "Blood Drink."
In this way, both "Emperor’s Slaughter" and "Blood Drink" gained new mbers, with "Emperor’s Slaughter" having a total of four people and "Blood Drink" having seven.
After registering, since there were no good missions available that day, the mbers of "Blood Drink" took their leave first.
"Xiao Heizi, Little Lanzi, let explain the rules of Emperor’s Slaughter to you—we only take on advanced missions. You two are newbies, so you must prioritize team missions above all. Also, for the sake of communication, you two must live with us. We’ve rented several rooms at the Qingyun Inn," Yan Jiu reminded them.
"Deputy team leader, can you please use our proper nas?"
After Dao Ge had left, Lan Cai’er had returned to normal. Hearing the nicknas Yan Jiu used for the two of them, Lan Cai’er was speechless.
"What’s wrong with Xiao Heizi and Little Lanzi? Or maybe you’d prefer I call you Little Third Third, Little Fourth Fourth?" Yan Jiu stroked his chin.
Little Third Third was also Lan Cai’er. Little Fourth Fourth was Ye Lingyue.
It just so happened that there were only four people in "Emperor’s Slaughter."
Ye Lingyue tugged at the corner of her mouth, unable to retort. This deputy team leader was really sothing.
"So, should we call you Little Bro Bro and Little Silly Silly instead?" Lan Cai’er retorted sullenly.
"Hey! Girl, are you asking for a beating?" Yan Jiu erupted. He couldn’t believe a woman would dare to talk back to him face-to-face.
"Use [our] nas."
Wu Zhong, who had spoken more than four words from start to finish, uttered a sentence.
Yan Jiu imdiately shrank back.
Ye Lingyue and Lan Cai’er were about to leave.
"Hei Yue, here is a bottle of Gathering Yuan Pill for you," said Little Li as he quickly stepped forward and stuffed a bottle of Gathering Yuan Pill into Ye Lingyue’s hand with a hearty laugh, appearing quite honest.
Yan Jiu’s eyes lit up at once, curiously looking at Wu Zhong.
This young girl clearly had so charm. Despite looking like a lump of coal, she had acquired an admirer so quickly.
Holding the bottle of dicine, Ye Lingyue felt sowhat awkward.
Gathering Yuan Pill was only a Fourth-grade Elixir, and she could easily produce a bottle of higher quality, but to Little Li, it represented his sentint.
After weighing her options, Ye Lingyue decided to keep it.
That dead woman actually accepted it.
Wu Zhong’s eyes darkened slightly, stepping forward. Before Ye Lingyue could react, he slapped the bottle of Elixir Pills from her hand.
"What are you doing?" Ye Lingyue watched as the bottle of Elixir Pills fell to the ground and shattered, and Little Li’s face froze as well.
"My people don’t need that kind of trash," he said before arrogantly pulling Ye Lingyue away from the rcenary Alliance.
"Cough cough, what the team leader ans is, we will protect you two quite well, so there’s no need for Elixir Pills, ha." Yan Jiu touched his nose and made a gesture to Lan Cai’er, who had no choice but to follow him out with a bewildered expression.
Little Li was left standing there, dumbfounded.
