Woman: “Are you sure this knockout agent worked?”
Man: “Of course. Can’t you see that they can’t wake up? We are clear about their cultivation. If we didn’t use drugs, they would have already discovered us.”
It turned out they were the previous couple they had conflict with.
The woman continued to say: “Heng! They were truly reckless in offending me.”
“Hurry up! There are too many masters in this tavern! If we were to alarm them, it wouldn’t be a good thing!”
“Why are you so anxious! I don’t know how to punish them.”
The man didn’t utter a word. Lin Xiao heard the footsteps getting nearer.
“This boy is really fat,’’ the woman said with disgust. “Never expected that his cultivation would be that high.”
Lin Xiao forced a smile. Alright, alright. Don’t poke his wound, he will slim down, okay?
“What about crippling their nether regions?” The woman laughed mischievously.
“This…” the man hesitated for a moment, and then consented: “Ok.”
After that, the woman took out a dagger and flipped it, emitting a crisp sound.
If they didn’t react, then it would be too late! Lin Xiao tried to free himself from Ling Luo’s arms and was about to get up but Ling Luo was even faster than him and left the bed to grasp the woman’s neck.
Lin Xiao sat on the bed and looked solemnly at the beautiful woman’s frightened face.
The man was looking at Ling Luo with a scared face too.
“Why didn’t the knockout agent work!” The woman hatefully stared at the man.
Ling Luo tightened his grasp, the woman was unable to breathe and tried to cough with difficulty.
“Don’t kill her! She is Yun Xi, Yun family head master’s daughter of Nebula Nation!” In the Nebula Nation, Yun family’s power was slightly inferior than Lin family’s… Just that, Lin Xiao looked suspiciously at Yun Xi who was turning her head left and right.
Noticing Lin Xiao’s doubts, the man explained: “I am Nebula Nation’s Fang family’s Fang Yun. Yun Xi and I are related by marriage. Yun family’s ancestor took fancy of her outstanding gift from a young age, and adopted her under his name. She never went out, so not many people recognize her,” while talking, Fang Yun hastily fished out a shining jade pendant from his bosom.
The jade pendant was shining in the darkness, so Lin Xiao could see a big Fang in the middle of the jade pendant.
That was Fang family’s authentication token.
Lin Xiao frowned. He knew that Fang Yun has showed his status because he feared that Yun Xi would be killed, after all, if they did kill her, the tavern would surely know it. Hence, Lin Xiao nodded his head at Ling Luo, saying: “He is telling the truth.”
Ling Luo nodded, showing that he understood. However, he didn’t loosen his grip, instead, he added more strength while approaching Yun Xi’s ear: “Actually, I don’t mind killing you. After that, your family would at most chase me to kill me, but if I attend Yunqi Academy, would they still be able to do it?” Yunqi Academy didn’t permit outsiders to enter.
