Wan Jun stood up, burped, covered his mouth, looked at the silver notes and jade pendant on the table, and remained silent for a long time.

Seeing that he was frowning, as if he was thinking about something, Xiao Yunying waited for a while and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

These words were like a switch that had been flipped, and he quickly pulled out a handful of loose silver from his pocket, placed it on the table, grabbed the cloth bag, and ran out.

As she ran, she shouted, "Wan Jun can't make this decision. My master will be coming to Xiaqu Village again soon to take care of some matters. You can talk to my master about it then, young lady."

Then, without even opening the gate, he simply kicked off the wall and climbed over.

Xiao Yunying was stunned for a while before she realized that Wan Jun had been staring blankly at the jade pendant and silver notes because he was thinking about how to refuse her and escape from here.

She walked to the door and opened it, only to see a small dot getting farther and farther away until it disappeared completely.

Xiao Yunying leaned against the door frame and chuckled, "This silly goose, he really runs fast."

What did he just say?

Will that man in black come back again?

What are they doing here? They're not here to kill me to silence me, are they?

Thinking of this, Xiao Yunying shuddered.

After thinking it over, he dismissed his earlier idea. If he wanted to silence them, he wouldn't need to do it himself; he could just send a few assassins.

She's quite vigilant when she's awake, but if she's asleep, she might not even notice if someone skilled in martial arts sneaks into her house.

Xiao Yunying shook her head: "I don't want to think about it anymore. Why bother thinking about such useless things? It will only scare me."

(Non-text: My darlings, I somehow ended up participating in a team writing contest. I'll just post one chapter these next couple of days to build up some drafts. Once the contest starts, I'll release a lot more chapters and push forward. Don't worry.)
