Duan Bashan's eyelids twitched, the other party's attitude made him very uncomfortable, and his wide palm slowly moved towards Xu Fei's white neck, and he threatened: "If you take another step forward, I don't mind giving her a ride now." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½ā€

As soon as these words fell, Xu Yan hesitated thoughtfully, and then his figure really stopped, without any superfluous moves.

"Dulicitous. Seeing Xu Yan retreat, Duan Bashan once again had confidence in his heart, and mocked coldly.

"No, I just thought, why do you want to do things so desperately?" Xu Yan smiled lightly and shook his head: "If I'm not mistaken, then when the Xie family divides my Xu family's property with you again, they must have hidden something, right?"

Duan Bashan's face shook suddenly like an electric shock, and even the palm hanging on Xu Fei's neck couldn't help but relax a little.

Xu Yan's words are right, when the Xie family talked to him about cooperation, they did deliberately hide the key to Xu Yan, and the content of the discussion was more about exaggerating the huge profits that those industries could bring.

"I think that a character who can dominate this Xuanyue Mountain for so long will definitely not be stupid in his brain. Ignoring the change in Duan Bashan's expression, Xu Yan continued to add: "If you knew some information in advance, you would not cooperate with them. Isn't that right?"

Duan Bashan's face was gloomy, but his voice became strange: "What do you want to say?"

"I want to say, why don't you all take a step back, you let my family go, and continue to be your mountain overlord. I will withdraw from Xuanyue Mountain and not trouble you. From now on, everyone's well water will not interfere with river water. What do you think?" asked Xu Yan tentatively.

Duan Bashan's body was still full of vigilance, but Xu Yan was vaguely aware that there was already a hint of hesitation in his eyes.

It is true that Duan Bashan is struggling in his heart.

For anyone, the life of exile and dogs is naturally not as good as being a landowner with peace of mind. He Duan Bashan has been living happily in Xuanyue Mountain for so many years, if he hadn't been dizzy for a while and was overshadowed by the Xie family, he would not have been in such a rigid state as he is now. Therefore, if there was a choice, he would definitely not let the good mountain overlord not do it, but provoke a strong opponent for himself. What's more, this opponent is not only strong in itself, but even his mysterious backstage is terrifying and outrageous.

However, he was not sure that Xu Yan's words were not adulterated. If he just let his family go like this, who knows if this thing will go back on his word and put himself in turn.

In a world where the strong are respected, deception is almost commonplace, and brothers may face each other with swords, let alone two people who have a holiday? After so many years of crawling in the corpse mountain and the sea of blood, Duan Bashan's nerves have already become very sensitive.

"You think about it. Xu Yan smiled calmly, and didn't seem to mind wasting time with Duan Bashan.

Time passed minute by minute, and in the room, only the faint breathing sound between the mouths and noses of the three people could be heard, and the faint candlelight was blown by the wind, flickering and dimming, setting off the scene in the house quite mysterious.

"I can promise what you say, but, to make sure you do what you say, you can only take the boy with you, and the girl has to stay as a hostage. But don't worry, I won't treat her badly" The dull atmosphere lasted for two or three minutes, and that period of Bashan finally opened his mouth, but he didn't give in completely.

Hearing this, the smile on Xu Yan's face directly converged, and the corners of his mouth rose with a dangerous arc: "It seems that you are giving up this last chance." ā€

Duan Bashan's lips twitched, as if he wanted to explain something, but the next moment, his face changed suddenly, his palm bent into a claw like lightning, and he subconsciously poked at his back, and his dry fingers brought up a fierce energy, tearing the air into a piercing stabbing sound.

It's just that almost at the same time, Xu Yan's soles also slammed on the ground, with the help of the rebound force, his body flashed like sharp arrows, his hands clenched into fists, and then he poked out blatantly, and slammed into Duan Bashan's claws.

The fists and claws collided, and there was a dull sound of flesh and bone colliding. The strong force generated by the bombardment made the bodies of both sides shake a few times, and they invariably retreated three steps backwards, and the two of them slowly fixed their figures.

Duan Bashan's gloomy gaze first swept over the empty bed, then shifted to Xu Yan, and finally fell on the two figures that suddenly appeared beside Xu Yan. These two figures, one of them is Xu Yan's sister, and the other figure, after Duan Bashan saw his face clearly, his heart instantly erupted with anger like a volcanic eruption.

Shaking his slightly numb palm, Duan Bashan's gloomy eyes stared at Xu Yan, and the words that came out of his mouth were full of tyranny and murderous aura: "Little bastard, you are actually stalling for time!"

"Hehe, aren't you talking nonsense? Do you really think that the master is leaving you a way out?" Xu Yan also replied with a loud laugh, and his laughter was full of mockery: "Old bastard!"

Duan Bashan's chest rose and fell violently, looking like he was not lightly angry, he shifted his gaze to the trembling figure beside Xu Yan, and the muscles on his face twitched slightly: "Shi Qing, I'm not thin with you."

The man who was called Shi Qing shivered coldly, fell to his knees, and his tone was almost pleading: "Hall Master, I don't want to do this either, it's just that I was kidnapped by him on the way and he gave me poison." If I don't do what he says, I'm going to die."

The green tendons on his forehead jumped suddenly, Duan Bashan's teeth clenched, and in just a few words, it seemed to be squeezed out of the teeth: "Can't you die for me?"

"Hall Master" Shi Qing's gaze was a little straight, looking at Duan Bashan, a little incredulous.

For you, I'm going to die? Why? Is Lao Tzu's life so worthless?

"You still can't see what he means, his life is more expensive than all of you combined!" Xu Yan shook his head.

"Haha. Shi Qing suddenly laughed, his laughter was a little sad and mocking, I don't know if he was laughing at his ignorance, or laughing at Duan Bashan's cruelty.

"Duan Bashan, Lao Tzu finally sees you clearly!" Shi Qing's tone suddenly turned cold, I don't know if the sorrow in his heart is greater than life and death, his face slowly calmed down, slowly stood up, took a step forward with the soles of his feet, stood beside Xu Yan, clasped his fists and said: "I will send your family back to the Xu family safely, and then you give me the antidote, and we will not owe each other from now on!"

"That's nature. Xu Yan raised his eyebrows lightly and replied with a smile.

Shi Qing raised his head and took a deep breath, his gaze turned to Duan Bashan, his dark pupils seemed to be tainted with endless hatred.

As the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. In peacetime, Bashan treats his subordinates honestly, and naturally wins the loyalty of many people. For Shi Qing, Duan Bashan's favor, although it has not yet reached the point where he swears allegiance to the death, has also made him think that he has found a good master. So just now, when he could have saved Xu Fei in the morning, but because there was a trace of resistance and guilt in his heart, he hesitated, and finally Duan Bashan appeared, and he missed the best opportunity.

Fortunately, Xu Yan had just diverted Duan Bashan's attention, and that pun made Shi Qing find the last chance and successfully rescued Xu Fei. It was also because of this that he knew that this usually bold hall master turned out to be a vicious person with a snake and scorpion in his belly.

His heart was filled with coldness and indifference, Shi Qing shook his head and sighed, gently picked up Xu Fei, and then walked slowly towards the outside of the house, his heavy steps highlighted his disordered state of mind.
