"Has Miss Tie heard of ?"
Chu Qing hid behind his mask, his voice particularly cold and stern.
Tie Chuming’s face turned a bit pale:
"You... are you here to kill ?"
The na of the Night Emperor rose in Celestial Dance City, and the act of killing Jiang Divine Saber in Divine Blade City spread his fa overnight throughout the Martial World.
As the eldest daughter of Iron Blood Hall, Tie Chuming naturally had heard of him and was well aware... this person is an assassin.
An assassin showing up without reason, other than wanting to kill her, she couldn’t think of another possibility.
She subconsciously took two steps back:
"I advise you not to act recklessly, you should know, the Mad Saber Third Young Master is traveling with now.
"His martial arts are peerless, as soon as I call out, he will imdiately appear... no matter how high your martial arts are, you are no match for him."
"..."
Chu Qing felt speechless, what do you an by calling and I show up?
Why does it sound so impolite?
But as he looked up, the killing intent intensified:
"But I wonder, is it you who calls faster, or is my sword faster?"
Tie Chuming’s face turned even whiter.
The Night Emperor’s Fast Sword and Flying Saber both strike like a fleeting glimpse.
No matter how fast ’Third Young Master’ cos, he would only arrive in ti to collect her corpse.
"What exactly do you want?"
Looking at the person in front of her, Tie Chuming truly felt a sense of impending doom.
The imnse pressure exerted invisibly made it difficult for her to breathe.
It seed as if the other party exerted a bit more force, she would suffocate without him even needing to strike.
But just as this pressure reached its peak, all the sensations suddenly vanished.
Tie Chuming suddenly fell to the ground, fine beads of cold sweat appearing on her forehead.
Chu Qing spoke calmly:
"Miss Tie need not panic, if I wanted to kill you... you’d already be dead."
"...Then what do you want with ?"
Tie Chuming wasn’t relieved by his words, on the contrary, she felt this ominous presence surely spelled trouble.
"I’m here to discuss a deal with Miss Tie."
"A deal?"
Tie Chuming was taken aback: "What kind of deal?"
Chu Qing felt a bit powerless, talking with smart people was easy, but it was a bit tiring with fools.
In hindsight, he shouldn’t have co to Tie Chuming, he should’ve gone to Cheng Tieshan.
But... a athead like Cheng Tieshan might not be any smarter.
He had no choice but to state:
"I... only make murder deals."
Upon hearing this, Tie Chuming’s eyes lit up:
"You want to help kill soone!? Who?"
"You’re asking ?"
Chu Qing really considered leaving, this conversation was becoming difficult to continue.
But Ghost God Gorge was close by, with a swift horse, he could arrive in one day; before that, he needed to finalize this deal with Tie Chuming as the Night Emperor.
Tie Chuming suddenly realized, nodded repeatedly:
"Then you... can you help kill people from the Mirror of Sin?"
Chu Qing raised an eyebrow, why the Mirror of Sin?
Shouldn’t she be thinking about having him kill the Hall Master of Blazing Hall, Beitang Lie?
His brow slightly furrowed:
"The Mirror of Sin will also appear at Ghost God Gorge?"
"They will!"
Tie Chuming said:
"Third Young Master says, people from the Mirror of Sin plan to assassinate my father.
"If you’re there, my father will be able to sleep peacefully.
"Can you help kill all those coming to assassinate my father from the Mirror of Sin?"
[Mission Triggered: Naless on the List (Eliminate all Evil Extermination List guests!)]
[Do you accept!?]
This... this was an unexpected developnt.
Chu Qing’s lips twitched under his mask, he ca here originally for Beitang Lie, for the Blazing Hall.
Who would have thought the second part of Naless on the List would be triggered by Tie Chuming.
He thought there would be a chance to trigger this mission after reaching Ghost God Gorge at least.
After a brief contemplation, Chu Qing held up one finger:
"One life, a thousand silver."
"Deal!"
Tie Chuming agreed imdiately:
"That’s quite cheap..."
"..."
Rich people, moneybags, eh!?
"Besides the Mirror of Sin, is there no one else you want killed?"
Chu Qing wanted to maximize his profits.
"No, there isn’t."
Tie Chuming shook her head:
"As for others, there’s still Third Young Master."
"?"
Chu Qing blinked:
"What do you an?"
"I an, Third Young Master and the rest, aren’t they coming to Ghost God Gorge?
"Whether they’re here for fun or trying to pass through to the north, they’ll inevitably clash with Blazing Hall.
"Beitang Zun has been captured by Third Young Master, and he suspects Blazing Hall is colluding with the Celestial Evil Cult.
"In this situation, he certainly won’t let Beitang Lie go, he’ll get to the bottom of it.
"With him here, Beitang Lie isn’t a problem, so why waste silver on you?"
Fine, fine, your calculations are practically flying in my face!
Chu Qing realized he had underestimated her.
But she did have a point... but trying to trick him into working for free, that was impossible.
Narrowing his eyes, he glanced at Tie Chuming and then remarked softly:
"Alright, once it’s done, I will co for my reward.
"If there’s even a single silver missing... consider carefully!"
He intended to say, if there’s even a single silver missing, I’d sell you to pay off the debt... but that would sound a bit too much like Third Young Master.
Although Miss Tie might not notice, with the lesson learned from Xia Wanshuang, Chu Qing didn’t want to reveal such a flaw in front of these won.
So he just uttered a threat, then his figure flickered and vanished from the window.
Until Chu Qing was no longer visible, Tie Chuming boldly approached the window to check, looking around but seeing no trace of Chu Qing.
