The old man's eyes darted back and forth between the two men, and he instantly understood.

He raised his hand and pushed the sword spirit, who had just stood up, forward. "Go and grab that girl in the yellow dress."

The wronged sword spirit almost collapsed again.

Having finally regained its balance, it sighed inwardly and looked up at Li Qingrong, who was dressed in a yellow dress. Its gaze inadvertently fell on the jade pendant at her waist.

Upon seeing the familiar jade pendant, the sword spirit secretly transmitted its voice to the old man: "Master, are you also arresting disciples of the Holy Sword Sect?"

The old man looked at Jiang Yuetong with a fawning expression, but upon hearing the sword spirit's words, he whispered a curse: "Nonsense, we need to put on an act first."

"Oh." The sword spirit rushed out of the pillar of light and headed towards Li Qingrong.

Seeing this, Li Qingrong knew that Jiang Yuetong was not joking. After hesitating for a moment, she shouted to Jiang Yuetong, "I agree! But you have to swear an oath!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Yuetong flashed in front of her and blocked the sword spirit's attack.

"Ah—" The sword spirit fell to the ground and howled in pain.

Seeing this, the old man was filled with heartache and then put the sword spirit away.

"Swear an oath?" Jiang Yuetong sneered.

In this world, if you break a vow you've made, you will be punished by heaven.

She crossed her arms in front of her chest and said calmly, "What right do you have to negotiate with me now? Making an oath is out of the question. Try something else."

Li Qingrong seemed to have expected her to say that. Although she was unsure of herself, she pretended to be calm.

"No! If you don't swear an oath, then make a pact with me. Who knows if you'll go back on your word and kill me later?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuetong gave her a cold look.

As they looked at each other, Li Qingrong could clearly feel the cold aura emanating from Jiang Yuetong. She swallowed hard, wondering if they should change the terms.

"Okay." Jiang Yuetong agreed.

Li Qingrong secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Yuetong lifted her foot and walked towards her. When she raised her hand, her fingertip was scratched by spiritual power, and a drop of blood flowed out and floated in the air.

Seeing this, Li Qingrong quickly took out a dagger and made a cut on her finger. The two drops of blood fused together, and the great formation appeared, radiating light for four zhang.

Jiang Yuetong calmly said, "I am willing to sign an equal contract with you, to never abandon, never give up, and never betray you. If I violate this contract, I will be punished by heaven and my body will be destroyed."

There is an equal contract, unlike the master-servant contract where they share life and death.

However, neither of them can harm the other, and they also have telepathy, so even if they are thousands of miles apart, they can know each other's location.

After the contract was completed, Li Qingrong felt a little regretful, "So it was supposed to be an equal contract."

Jiang Yuetong raised an eyebrow slightly, looking at her casually and said, "Even if it's a master-servant contract, I am the master and you are the servant."

"Okay." Li Qingrong pouted.

Realizing that Jiang Yuetong could no longer harm her, Li Qingrong began to push her luck, "Oh, right, I have another condition."

Sure enough, Jiang Yuetong's expression turned sour.

As expected of the female lead, even at this point she still wants to extort her. Jiang Yuetong sighed inwardly.

Tell me all your conditions.

“It’s not difficult for you either.” Li Qingrong smiled and continued, “You sent people to assassinate me before, and you used a lot of life-saving talismans and pills during the process. You have to compensate me.”

Someone chuckled.

When Jiang Xinyao saw the two of them looking at her, she immediately stopped smiling and looked at Li Qingrong, advising, "Why don't you change your terms?"

It's so hard to get anything from my sister!

Li Qingrong was unhappy.
