Chapter 94: Helping You Remember

While everyone present was stunned by the negative emotions emanating from Xiao Yan, he suddenly let out a sigh of relief, and the negative emotions on his body quietly dissipated, making everyone think that the overwhelming sensation they had just experienced was an illusion.

Xiao Yan glanced lightly at Mu Li, his eyes calm and unperturbed.

Mu Li was already on his hit list, and Xiao Yan definitely intended to kill him. However, not now.

Mu Lis father, Mu She, was here, and Xiao Yan couldnt match the strength of a Da Dou Shi (Battle Grandmaster, 4th Level).

Besides, his purpose for coming today was not to kill Mu Li, but to resolve another, more important matter. He couldnt afford to mix up priorities.

Xiao Yan put the Heavy Black Ruler back on his back and then clasped his hands together, bowing to Mu She.

Junior Xiao Yan, pays respect to Commander Mu.

Regardless of whether the rumors were spread by Mu Shes orders or not, Xiao Yan would show courtesy to Mu She. This was just basic manners.

Of course, the extent of respect in his gesture depended entirely on Mu Shes perspective.

Xiao Yan

Mu She recited Xiao Yans name coldly, unable to comprehend how all the negative emotions emanating from Xiao Yan had suddenly vanished, and now he was showing such courtesy.

What exactly is he thinking?

Mu She couldnt fathom Xiao Yans thoughts, and just as he was pondering, Xiao Yan spoke again.

Commander Mu, may I ask how much the gate of your fortress cost to make?

Huh? The gate?

Xiao Yans inquiry left Mu She momentarily stunned.

In his mind, he had imagined several possible actions and words that Xiao Yan might do or say, including but not limited to reprimanding his son Mu Li and criticizing the rumor, though there was no evidence, that they had spread.

However, Mu She never expected that Xiao Yans first question would be about the cost of their fortresss gate.

Mu Shes mind was truly blank for a moment.

After a while, he slightly regained his senses, but perhaps his mind was still somewhat muddled. He turned his head to ask a nearby mercenary, Hey, how much did that gate cost?

R- Right, Commander. The gate cost around five thousand

What? Just five thousand? Hearing the answer, Mu She seemed to have just realized the price, glaring at the mercenary. What is this gate? Its the face of the Wolf Head Mercenary Company! Why was so little money spent on it?

Well this gate has been there since you first established the mercenary corps in Qingshan Town. At that time, the Wolf Head Mercenary Company had just been established and was strapped for cash. So, wherever they could save money in the fortress, they did. Moreover, the gate hasnt broken in so many years, so it wasnt replaced

No thats not right.

Xiao Yan wasnt taking responsibility for their deaths; he was merely stating the truth.

In fact, Xiao Yixian was the one taking responsibility for their deaths, but because of her reputation in Qingshan Town, Mu She had to pin it on her. That was an unavoidable situation.

As previously mentioned, it was much easier to slander Xiao Yan than Xiao Yixian, but similarly, once Xiao Yixian spoke in defense of Xiao Yan, the slander would dissipate.

So he had to slander Xiao Yixian.

But that Xiao Yan would come forward and admit it was something Mu She never expected.

However, Mu She still wanted to struggle a bit.

At least within Qingshan Town, toppling the Myriad Medicines Hall was much more important than dealing with Xiao Yan.

Is that so? Mu She pretended to be surprised and glanced indifferently at Mu Li. But what my son told me was that Xiao Yixian killed my subordinates in order to seize their treasures, and my son was lucky enough to escape.

Right! Right! Mu Li reacted and glared fiercely at Xiao Yan while saying, It was Xiao Yixian who killed them! I saw it with my own eyes!

Mu Lis words left the onlookers unsure of what to believe.

And that was the problem.

Yesterday, the only member of the Wolf Head Mercenary Company that returned with Xiao Yixian was Mu Li. The rest of them had all disappeared.

As for what happened yesterday, only those who were present at the time would know. No matter how much others speculated, it would only be speculation.

Xiao Yan coldly looked at Mu Li and then spoke again in a calm voice.

Mu Li, you keep saying that Xiao Yixian killed them. So, tell me, how did she kill them?

Huh? Xiao Yans question left Mu Li momentarily stunned, and he panicked before saying, It was poison! She used poison to take the treasures from us!

Given Xiao Yixians delicate appearance, it was impossible for her to kill so many mercenaries through brute force. Therefore, the only possibility was poison.

But that was an unfillable loophole.

But in my memory, I killed them, smashing their heads one by one like they were grapes.

Xiao Yan stared closely at Mu Li, his eyes flashing with a fierce light.

Their remaining bodies are buried near the cliff. Although I dont want to disturb the dead, if your memory is truly confused due to fear, I can take you there to have a look.

Or

Xiao Yan slowly touched the Heavy Black Ruler, and the killing intent in his heart once again emanated out, causing Mu Li, who was full of fear, to tremble. Xiao Yan squinted his eyes slightly and said calmly, I can help you remember right now.
