Chapter 95: She Would Be Angry With Me
Jian Liu turned to look at Xuan Ruiquan, lowered his head, and replied, "There is a young lady named Duan Yixin from Yunshan Village who knows where Hui Xiang is. This subordinate agreed to do something for her in exchange for her telling us Hui Xiang’s location."
Xuan Ruiquan heard his answer and was silent for a few seconds before asking, "What does she want you to do?"
"Miss Duan asked us to warn an old man named Master Chen from the Chen family’s village near Yun Mountain not to force her to marry him." Jian Liu answered calmly without looking at Jian Er, while Jian Er kept blinking at him to signal him to stop talking.
As he finished speaking, the temperature in the spacious tent dropped sharply. Jian Liu felt the change in temperature and raised his eyes.
He was a little confused when he saw Xuan Ruiquan’s body was shrouded by cold, murderous intent and thought, ’Why did Master suddenly become angry? Was he angry because we accepted a mission from Miss Duan? Will he punish me and the others? No, I can’t let Master punish Shiwu and the others because this is my decision.’
When Jian Liu was thinking about how to beg for mercy for Shiwu and the others, Jian Er, who was standing behind Xuan Ruiquan, looked at Jian Liu’s confused eyes and couldn’t help but groan inside his heart.
After a long silence, Xuan Ruiquan asked, "That old man– Have you dealt with him?"
Jian Liu nodded and said, "Reporting to Master. Before leaving Yunshan Village, this subordinate met with one of our brothers and asked him to take care of the old man while this subordinate and others brought Hui Xiang back."
"Who is he?" Xuan Ruiquan asked again.
