Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
âYoung Master, you meanâŠâ
How could the guard not understand him? His young master wanted to use those two to get rid of the guard leader and the others, right?
âYoung Master, thatâs a good idea, but will they attack Chief and the others? What ifâŠâ
âThereâs no âwhat ifâ,â Young Master Nie interrupted him before he could finish speaking. âIf thereâs a âwhat ifâ, weâll die,â he said coldly.
He already knew that he would not have been able to leave Scorching Rock Peak alive even without Yue Suiyuâs âdisappearanceâ. Was the Yueming Emperor a magnanimous person?
Even if that thing landed in his hands, he would not let the world know. He would only silence him and find an excuse to explain how he died.
Soon, the Nie family would come to accompany him on the road to hell.
Unfortunately, his family members were still engrossed in their joy. They believed the Nie family would soar into the skies thanks to his ability.
He felt sad about that.
âBrother Cheng, would you think Iâm too cold-blooded if I give up on the Nie family and never return to the Yueming Empire?â he asked softly.
âI wonât,â the guard, Brother Cheng, replied without thinking.
He knew Young Master Nieâs situation very well. After all, he had been protecting Young Master ever since he was discovered to be capable of sensing the location of the treasure.
In fact, he was originally one of the Yueming Emperorâs men. However, he gradually stopped wanting to be his lackey.
âYoung Master, youâre part of the Nie familyâs collateral branch in the first place. Given the current situation, you can leave the Nie family. Just pretend youâre not part of them.â
âHa!â Young Master Nie chuckled.
He belonged to the Nie familyâs collateral branch. Had it not been for his ability, he might never have been orphaned.
Everyone in the Nie family thought he didnât know, but he knew long ago that the Nie family had killed his entire family to snatch him.
âHuff! Letâs take things one step at a time. No matter what, we have to find the treasure first.â
He fixed his gaze on the guard leader, who had already walked up to Qian Jiyun and the others. He was looking forward to what would happen to this person.
Meanwhile, the guard leader stopped in front of Qian Jiyun.
He had always been proud in front of the other guards, but he was not confident in front of Qian Jiyun.
He had no choice. The strong were respected in this world. As someone with a lower cultivation level, he had to bow down to Qian Jiyun.
âYoung Master Qian, Madam Qian, itâs been hard on you to help us find the Princess these days. We havenât found her, so weâre too embarrassed to trouble you any further.
âWeâve decided to go back and gather reinforcements. Weâll ask the Yueming Emperor to send more people to help us. You must have other things to do, right? Why donât we split up?â
He looked at Qian Jiyun and almost said, âYou can leave now. We wonât look for that stupid princess anymore.â
âDo you need everyone to go back to gather reinforcements?â An Jiuyue retorted without waiting for Qian Jiyun to say anything..
