Chapter 554: Coaxing 2
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Didn’t I already mention this earlier?” Zhongyu Jiarui’s tone carried a hint of coaxing. “l am the third daughter of the Zhongyu family’s direct line. Our Zhongyu family is renowned in the Hidden World, and ordinary people would never dare to offend us. So, if you choose to align yourself with us, your safety will be well assured. Once you’re outside, just claim to be from the Zhongyu family, and those people won’t dare to bother you.”
“But even if I join, there’s no guarantee that your Zhongyu family will accept me!” Ye Lengan seemed troubled on her face. “Moreover, we just had an unpleasant encounter. Are you really so kind as to help me?”
On the side, Nangong Xuyao was unaware of Zhongyu Jiarui’s true intentions. He didn’t believe that she was genuinely concerned for someone with whom she had just clashed. Clearly, Zhongyu Jiarui had ulterior motives.
He wanted to caution the girl across from him, regardless of whether she was his lifesaver or not. But Zhongyu Jiarui was watching closely, making him unable to voice his concerns.
Because if he spoke up, it might offend Zhongyu Jiarui, and he would miss a good opportunity. After all, Zhongyu Jiarui was a significant figure now.
Zhongyu Jiarui completely ignored Nangong Xuyao’s dilemma. Seeing Ye Lengan taking the bait, she suppressed her inner excitement, feigned magnanimity, and said, “I’m not a petty person. I won’t hold grudges.
However, if you want to join our Zhongyu family, you need to show sincerity.” “Oh, what kind of sincerity?” Ye Lengan squinted and asked.
“Very simple.” Zhongyu Jiarui made an effort to appear indifferent. “You have the Nine-Cycle Soul-Returning Pill, right? Just give it to me, and I’ll bring you into the Zhongyu family.”
“The Nine-Cycle Soul-Returning Pill, right?” Ye Leng’an’s eyes flashed coldly. “But I planned to use it to exchange for this spiritual plant. If 1 don’t have the pill, what about this plant?”
She thought Zhongyu Jiarui was scheming! It turned out she had her eyes on the Nine-Cycle Soul-Returning Pill in her hands! However, Zhongyu Jiarui was shameless in thinking that the Zhongyu family was worth a Nine-Cycle Soul-Returning Pill. It was truly a joke.
“Are you a fool? Is there even a choice to make?” Zhongyu Jiarui looked at Ye Lengan with disappointment. “Between the protection of the Zhongyu family and a spiritual plant, can’t you make a decision? Even if you get the plant, alone, can you protect it?”
Ye Leng’an nodded and said, “Then I know what to do.”
Thinking Ye Lengan had compromised, Zhongyu Jiarui raised her head and continued, “Then why don’t you give me the Nine-Cycle Soul-Returning Pill
“Why should I give it to you?” Ye Lengan glanced at Zhongyu Jiarui. “Or do you want to snatch it in broad daylight?”
“What do you mean?” Hearing Ye Lengan’s words, Zhongyu Jiarui’s eyes filled with anger. “Are you going back on your word?”
“Going back on my word?” Ye Lengan raised her eyebrows and found it amusing. “Did I promise to give you the Nine-Cycle Soul-Returning Pill? It’s all your wishful thinking. Do you think I look like a fool? Letting you deceive me like this.’
If she still couldn’t see that Ye Lengan was playing with her, Zhongyu Jiarui would truly be a fool. She looked at Ye Lengan with anger. “So, your choice is to make our Zhongyu family your enemy, right?”
“I didn’t expect your Zhongyu family to be so overbearing!” Ye Lengan smiled disdainfully. “Do you really think that your Zhongyu family’s people have to lie to solitary individuals with good things? Failing to coax her, you resort to threats.. Is the Hidden World really without any constraints? Is this Hidden World really the domain of your Zhongyu family?”
