He Tongyin had never dealt with someone like Lin Xiuyan before, and for a moment she was unsure of her thoughts.
It's rather strange that she's now offering to join Ye Jingxian's side.
He said in a deep voice, "I can't make that decision. Do you dare come with me to see my master?"
Lin Xiuyan sighed: "You don't sound sincere at all. You'll definitely kill me as soon as I get there."
"General He, you may not yet understand our current situation."
"Now it's not me begging you, it's you begging me. I can stay here indefinitely, but you can't afford to."
"The main point is that you've surrounded me here. If this goes on for too long, it's hard to say whether you'll die or I will."
"Besides, Ye Qingwan isn't really that important to me; she wouldn't put me in danger."
He Tongyin glanced at the white corpses on the hillside. So many people had died this time; the Prince of Pingnan would surely hold them accountable.
They could keep watch over Lin Xiuyan and the others here for three to five days, but they couldn't keep watch over her forever.
And with her bizarre and unpredictable methods, she could very well kill them all.
He took a deep breath and said, "I'll have someone go and ask my master what he thinks right now."
Lin Xiuyan smiled and said, "Thank you for your trouble, General."
Soon the personal guard He Tongyin sent to deliver the message returned. As soon as he returned, he whispered a few words to He Tongyin.
He Tong listened with a gloomy face, then glanced in Lin Xiuyan's direction.
Lin Xiuyan stood there calmly, and when she saw him looking over, she waved to him and smiled.
He Tongyin: "..."
She didn't look like a woman who had just lost her husband at all. (cascoo.net)
He said in a deep voice, "My master wishes to see Miss Lin."
Lin Xiuyan smiled and said, "Your master has good taste, but how can you guarantee my safety?"
She killed so many people from the Xuanzi Battalion. Those soldiers trained together and were of one mind with each other, and they looked at her with great hostility.
He Tong said in a cold voice, "With me here, I will naturally not let them hurt Miss Lin."
Lin Xiuyan nodded: "Actually, I'm not afraid of you taking action. After all, I'm a goddess. Whoever wants to kill me will die."
He Tongyin: "..."
He really wanted to roll his eyes at her; he didn't know where she got the confidence to say such things.
He gave a wink to the guard beside him, who nodded in understanding.
Lin Xiuyan used her lightness skill to leap lightly from the stone wall down the hillside and land on a tree trunk.
With a light tap of the tree trunk, she used the momentum to flip in mid-air, her body as light as a swallow, and landed lightly about ten feet away from He Tongyin.
The instant He Tongyin landed, she gently waved her hand, and immediately people rushed towards the cave.
They were shot down by arrows from inside before they had only made it halfway there.
He Tongyin's expression changed slightly. So many of them had died, and apart from Lin Xiuyan, he hadn't seen anyone else!
Lin Xiuyan smiled slightly: "Although my fate with the prince is shallow, we are still husband and wife after all."
"Because I am a goddess, God will take extra care of my man."
"He is dead, and his body must not be desecrated by anyone."
He Tongyin glanced at her coldly and sneered.
Just then, several screams came from beside Lin Xiuyan.
Those men were He Tongyin's personal guards who were about to expose Lin Xiuyan's lies. They had only sneaked up to Lin Xiuyan's side when they were all killed.
Archers in more distant areas were also shot dead.
He Tongyin's expression changed slightly: "How did you do that?"
Lin Xiuyan didn't interrupt him, but simply asked, "Can I go see your master now?"
He Tong took a deep breath and gestured for her to proceed: "Miss Lin, this way please!"
Lin Xiuyan walked forward calmly with one hand behind her back.
She was quickly surrounded by soldiers from the Xuanzi Camp, who looked at her with considerable hostility.
She seemed completely unbothered by their attitude, smiling slightly at them and waving her hand gently: "Don't be so fierce!"
"With such good looks, if you lengthen your face, it loses its beauty."
Soldiers: "..."
Didn't she know that she had killed so many of their comrades, and that they wished they could tear her to pieces?
Where did she get the audacity to look down on them?
As a result, their faces grew even longer.
Lin Xiuyan didn't care about their attitude at all, and smiled at He Tongyin, saying, "Lord He, let's go!"
He Tongyin looked her up and down, glanced at the direction of the cave, and finally said nothing, leading her up the mountain himself.
As for the plan to forcefully storm the cave, he has already given up.
Because they have lost too many people this time, they cannot afford any more deaths.
As soon as Lin Xiuyan descended the mountain, she saw Ye Qingwan hanging on a tall pole.
She hung there motionless, looking completely lifeless.
Lin Xiuyan narrowed her eyes slightly and stopped, saying, "Aren't you being a bit insincere by keeping her hanging on like this?"
Ye Jingxian's voice came through: "I heard Ye Junfei is dead. Do you want to pledge your allegiance to me?"
Lin Xiuyan turned to look at him; he was standing there wearing a cloak.
The light shone from behind him, making his face look even more sinister and ruthless.
Lin Xiuyan smiled faintly: "Yes."
"Don't forget what you did to me. Why should I accept your allegiance?" Ye Jingxian said coldly.
Lin Xiuyan replied, "I attacked you before because we were on different sides."
"Besides, I feel that I have already proven my ability and value this time. If you reject me this time, you will definitely regret it."
Ye Jingxian's eyes were full of disdain: "What value do you have that I would regret?"
Lin Xiuyan smiled, and with a gentle lift of her hand, the guard behind Ye Jingxian fell to the ground dead before he could even utter a sound.
Ye Jingxian's expression changed slightly, and everyone surrounded Lin Xiuyan.
She calmly replied, "Don't be nervous, everyone. I'm just trying to prove my abilities to the Second Young Master."
The crowd looked at her with even more apprehension, because they hadn't seen how she made her move.
Ye Jingxian coldly asked, "How did you do that?"
Lin Xiuyan did not answer, but said, "I suppose the Second Young Master has also heard that Zhou Chenyang once sent hundreds of men to raid the Lin residence at night, but they were unable to break into the inner courtyard of the Lin residence."
"General He must have told the Second Young Master about how several hundred soldiers of the Xuanzi Battalion died at my hands. Isn't the Second Young Master curious about how I did it?"
Ye Jingxian was naturally curious; not only curious, but also wanting to kill her.
But if she can be used by him, then she will become the sharpest knife in his hand.
He looked at Lin Xiuyan and said, "Are you really willing to pledge allegiance to me?"
Lin Xiuyan nodded: "There's something I won't hide from you: I killed Ye Junfei with my own hands."
