One of them whispered.

You could tell that the person was terrified, but was trying to remain calm.

With a cold look in his eyes, Qingniao made a move and instantly killed the man.

The remaining two were so frightened that they instantly went limp and trembled all over.

The bluebird was menacing and showed no signs of backing down.

This startled Ye Qiu.

"Bluebird, are you going to kill the remaining two?" Ye Qiu asked.

"They deserve to die for daring to target you."

"Bluebird said solemnly."

"Forget it," Ye Qiu said. "Killing these small fry won't solve anything. Let them live so they can clean this place up and carry their corpses away."

"That makes sense, let's do it that way."

The bluebird smiled.

The two men in black were very sensible; they immediately began cleaning up the ground and then quickly carried the corpse away.

"Wow, Sister Bluebird, you're so awesome!"

Xia Hongdou stepped forward, gazing at Qingniao with an expression of adoration.

The bluebird smiled, then asked curiously, "I just killed someone, aren't you afraid?"

"I'm not afraid. They're all bad guys I'm killing, so I'm not afraid at all."

Xia Hongdou said.

But in fact, Xia Hongdou was somewhat afraid.

However, Xia Hongdou knew very well that people like Qingniao and Ye Qiu had already broken free from worldly rules.

The people of the Dark Temple are the same.

Therefore, even if the Bluebird kills someone, it will not be punished at all.

Qingniao hugged Xia Hongdou and said gently, "If you're scared, just say so, and I'll comfort you."

"I'm not afraid, I'm really not afraid," Xia Hongdou said. "I know that if I want to keep up with him, I can't be afraid."

Bluebird was surprised for a moment, then smiled even more brightly: "You're very insightful and have a bright future. I have high hopes for you."

"Hehe, that's for sure, Sister Bluebird, let's go cultivate."

"Huh? Let's not. I have something to discuss with Ye Qiu tonight. How about we start cultivating earlier tomorrow?" Qingniao hesitated.

"Oh dear, you can do whatever you want anytime. I promise I won't bother you tomorrow, so you can have as much fun as you like," Xia Hongdou said.

"Oh well."

The bluebird was helpless.

Watching the two women's departing figures, Ye Qiu felt somewhat helpless.

He actually wanted to have an in-depth conversation with Qingniao about his life ideals tonight.

But Xia Hongdou's interference caused Ye Qiu to lose his chance.

"Damn Red Bean, how awful!"

Ye Qiu smiled bitterly.

"Brother Ye, I can serve you too."

Tang Keke blinked her big eyes.

Ye Qiu glanced at Tang Keke and immediately recalled the scene from last time when Tang Keke had tried so hard to bully him.

That almost became a psychological shadow for Ye Qiu, causing strange and inappropriate images to appear in his mind whenever he saw Tang Keke.

"Brother Ye, please say something, may I?"

"I asked in a sweet, coquettish voice."

"Get out of here."

"Oh no, I want you."

Tang Keke immediately became attached to Ye Qiu.

...

On the other side, the two surviving men in black from the Dark Temple carried two corpses and quickly entered a villa located in the suburbs.

The villa is surrounded by many skilled individuals, making its defenses extremely tight.

Two men in black quickly entered the villa and knelt down in front of an old man with a thud.

The old man, dressed in a Tang suit, calmly held an ancient book and read it.

Even after discovering that two people were dead, he remained remarkably calm: "Failed?"

"Yes, Lord Palace Master. Ye Qiu did not make a move. It was a woman beside Ye Qiu who killed two of our brothers. That woman's cultivation was extremely high. Even if the four of us attacked together, we would not be able to withstand her."

"Lord of the Palace, that woman is truly terrifying. Our eldest brother was instantly killed."

The two men in black, kneeling on the ground, reported the situation to the old man.

Upon hearing this, the elderly man in the Tang suit slowly put down the ancient book in his hand, turned his sharp gaze to stare at the two people on the ground: "So, Ye Qiu rejected the path I arranged for him?"

“Lord Temple Master, not only did he refuse, but he also threatened to destroy our Dark Temple,” said a man in black.

"Is that so?" The old man in the Tang suit sneered, "You bunch of good-for-nothings can't even handle this little thing, you deserve to die."

"Lord Hall Master, please spare my life."

"Lord, spare my life!"

The two hurriedly begged for mercy.

"Kill him. The temple doesn't keep useless people."

The elderly man in the Tang suit said calmly.

As the old man in the Tang suit finished speaking, a sword light suddenly flashed beside him.

The next second, the two people on the ground were decapitated.

At the scene, there was an additional woman in a cheongsam with a cold expression.

"Qin Xiang, your sword speed has increased a lot. It seems that your swordsmanship has improved again."

The elderly man in the Tang suit smiled.

"Godfather, it's all thanks to your excellent teaching."

Qin Xiang turned her gaze, instantly transforming from cold to alluring, and like a water snake, she coiled around the old man in the Tang suit.

The old man in the Tang suit put his arm around Qin Xiang's slender waist and whispered, "Xiang'er, this Ye Qiu doesn't seem easy to deal with. We must get that 40% stake in Longda Group, so you have to make a move this time."

"Godfather, don't worry, I can handle Ye Qiu. Don't fret about it," Qin Xiang said sweetly.

"I knew Xiang'er loved her godfather the most."

The old man in the Tang suit patted Qin Xiang's plump buttocks hard, his face beaming with smiles.

"Godfather, shall I go and take care of him now?"

"No rush, we can go tomorrow. Tonight, we need to do something else."

The elderly man in the Tang suit looked meaningful.
