Volume 4 Chapter 8 Demonstration!
Night fell silently, and the news that Ziling Sword was about to be auctioned had already been rumored, and as one of the parties to this matter, Liu Jie had been under house arrest in the mansion for a day.
"Miss, the lord has instructed that you are forbidden to go out these days. Silently stopped at the door of the courtyard, and the old servant spoke gently but firmly.
"Why?" Liu Jie was immediately annoyed, and stomped his feet with a red face, "It's not the Ziling Sword I snatched, why do you want to lock me up?" β
"Miss, you are a daughter, last time you casually followed people out of the city, and even left the periphery, so much trouble happened, and the lord didn't let you go out, but it was also for your own good. In the eyes of the old slave, you should stay honestly for a few days first, and then go out before the limelight of this matter passes. "I didn't argue with Sister Liu, the old servant explained slowly and logically, without any fireworks.
"I don't care, the loss of the Ziling Sword is also his Zhang Yuan's business, and I can't blame it!" "I may not have a trace of apology for Zhang Yuan in my heart, but Liu Jie refuses to accept it because of this softness.
has been serving in the city lord's mansion, and the old servant also understands Liu Jie's surname, so he is not annoyed, but he just said calmly, "Miss, I know, you want to help Zhang Yuan secretly, but this matter is no longer something you can interfere with! Since that killer dares to auction the Ziling Sword, presumably, people always have to enter the city, although the Ziling Sword may not be taken back, but he wants to take the benefits and leave, I am afraid that it is impossible." β
was hit by a sentence, Liu Jie was slightly stunned, but he still forced himself to quibble, "I care about him to death, others care about him, but Miss Ben doesn't take him seriously, he is proud like an ice cube, who is willing to take care of him, Ziling Sword is his, not mine, what does it have to do with me?"
"Zhang Yuan himself is nothing, but Zhang Yifeng is definitely not to be underestimated. Shaking his head slightly, the old servant immediately spoke, "No matter what, now, as a young lady, it is really inconvenient to stand out in this matter, unless the young lady really likes Zhang Yuan and wants the master to agree to this family business." β
Hearing this, Liu Jie immediately retreated!
Although he did have some good feelings for Zhang Yuan because of this incident, and he also had a trace of apology, all this could not be a reason for her to agree to this family business, at least Zhang Yuan did not show enough now.
"Interesting, really interesting! However, I did think that although that kid from the Sword Pavilion was not very good, he was very affectionate to you, and it might not be a good thing to agree. β
Just when Liu Jie was still hesitating, a voice with a bit of banter did suddenly sound, and in an instant, it completely shattered the peace in this courtyard, and the old servant guarding the door was even more hairy all over his body, and when he stepped out, the strength of the half-step holy step was suddenly released, staring at the vague figure in the shadows.
"Who is it?" Subconsciously, Liu Jie suddenly shouted.
"It's just that I haven't seen you for a while, hasn't Miss Forgotten about me?" There was a bit of banter in the low voice, and Fang Cun walked out of the shadows leisurely, still the same as when he first saw Liu Jie and them, walking leisurely, without the slightest worry at all, as if this was not a heavily guarded city lord's mansion at all, but just his own back garden.
"It's you!" In this way, Liu Jie also suddenly recognized Fang Cun, although he was in the City Lord's Mansion, but for some reason, now he suddenly had an illusion, as if he was still under the starry sky outside the city, facing Fang Cun, there was no room for resistance.
"If you are good at yourself, you can silently sneak into the City Lord's Mansion, but if you want to be presumptuous here, I'm afraid it's too arrogant, right?"
"Don't worry, I don't have any malicious intentions, I'm just here to remind Miss, the previous transaction was extremely fair, I'm a lazy person, I don't want to have more rights and wrongs, but if anyone wants to trouble me, they have to be ready to be retaliated by me, a lazy person. Fang Cun's voice was not loud, but the murderous intent contained in these bland words was enough to make anyone frightened, although it did not explain how to retaliate, but such a silent threat was absolutely real and effective.
In essence, Fang Cun and Zhang Yuan before were a fair deal, although they took away the Yuan Jing and Ziling Sword, but they also helped them kill many Thunder Spirits, otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible for those people to escape under the siege of more than ten Thunder Spirits.
In just such a moment, the masters of the City Lord's Mansion finally discovered the abnormality here, and in a moment, at least ten of the powerhouses of the half-step holy rank that Fang Cun could feel alone had already rushed over, but Fang Cun was still a light and breezy appearance, as if he hadn't noticed all this at all.
"Old man, you'd better retract your hand, otherwise, I can't guarantee that I can control myself. The eyelids didn't jump, but the lazy words of Fang Cun suddenly pressed back the blow that the old servant was ready to attack.
"Do you think you can leave alive now?" looked at Fang Cun coldly, and the old servant said in a deep voice.
"I won't say if I can leave, but I can guarantee that you won't stop me. The corners of his mouth revealed a faint smile, a flash, Fang Cun's body suddenly brought up an afterimage, fast to the extreme, flashed in front of Liu Jie in the blink of an eye, not even a chance to fight back, the bead flower in Liu Jie's ears had already fallen into Fang Cun's hands.
The old servant's thunderous blow of the short sword only destroyed an afterimage.
This series of fights was almost to the extreme, and when everything fell, it was only a few breaths of time, but this moment of transformation suddenly made the old servant's heart sink to the bottom, and his whole body was cold.
"Look, I told you, you can't stop me. There was still a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth, and Fang Cun opened his mouth leisurely, playing with beads in his hand, as if he had just done a trivial thing.
Since he can take off the bead flower, then he can naturally take off Liu Jie's head, for a killer, this is not difficult, whether it is Liu Jie, the old servant, or even the half-step saint level powerhouses who have already rushed over, know very well.
"What does the Venerable Master want to do?" the momentum was suppressed, but the old servant still refused to give up, "The strength of the Venerable is enough to gain our respect, but don't forget, this is Thundercloud City, and the City Lord has already stepped into the Holy Rank, and it is by no means a place where you can be presumptuous." β
As a last resort, he finally moved out of Liu Kanglai, and the old servant's voice was very low but extremely firm, "If you dare to hurt Miss, I can guarantee that there will never be a place for you in the outer heavens." β
"I'm just a killer, a killer who is content with my duty!" "I will never make a casual move, unless someone pays me enough, or someone wants to pay me a debt, or even threaten me." β
As soon as these words came out, everyone around couldn't help but be stunned. Killer, that's right, these two simple words are enough to explain a lot of things, and the threat that ordinary people care about is nothing to a killer! Killer has never been a profession that is afraid of death.
"As for our great lord. The corners of his mouth showed a hint of playfulness, and Fang Cun smiled elegantly, "Of course I have respect, you see, I specially picked the time, but I don't want to miss the opportunity to meet with the city lord, what a pity." β
Missed?phew, I'm afraid I dared to come when the city lord was not there, right?
However, it doesn't make any sense to say these things now, what if people just avoid the city lord? I have to say that the current situation has fallen into the control of the other party uncontrollably.
"Okay, it's getting late, so I won't disturb your rest. Shrugging his shoulders, Fang Cun said leisurely, "Of course, before that, please let everyone disperse." β
There was no embarrassment at all, Fang Cun put forward the conditions so lazily, and took it for granted.
"Impossible!" said almost at the same time.
It's just that before his words fell, Fang Cun's figure flashed again, still an unpredictable afterimage, and at the same time, the bead flower on Liu Jie's other ear also fell into Fang Cun's hand, and at the same time it was sandwiched between the index finger, middle finger and ring finger, forming a pair, but it was even more dazzling.
"I think it's better to put together a pair of bead flowers, what do you think?" A faint murderous intent escaped silently, and Fang Cun casually threatened, "Perhaps, you still think that the bead flower belt is more beautiful on Miss Liu Jie's head?"
Bring it to the head, hey, at this time, naturally no one will be naΓ―ve to think that Fang Cun will return the bead flower, then the only answer is to take it off with Liu Jie's head, such a consequence is definitely not something that any of them can afford.
If you want to stop it, the speed shown by Fang Cun today is really terrifying, unless there is a Holy Rank powerhouse, I'm afraid no one dares anyone to kill faster than Fang Cun!
After a slight hesitation, the old servant shook his head bitterly after all, "Everyone disperses and makes way for this gentleman." β
Although Fang Cun did not put the knife on Liu Jie's neck, but now the result is already the same, at this time, unless he dares to ignore Liu Jie's life and death, otherwise, no one dares to disobey Fang Cun's meaning.
Seeing that everyone was gone, the corners of Fang Cun's mouth showed an arc, and he bowed elegantly, "Miss Liu Jie, I'm sorry to disturb you, but I hope that after today, you can remember me and don't do anything stupid anymore!" I left this pair of beads, but I hope that I will never have the chance to return it to you." β
The moment the words fell, Fang Cun's body once again turned into a blurred afterimage, and in the blink of an eye, he left the City Lord's Mansion without any hindrance.
