As Luo Jiujiang spoke, he patted Yin Bansi's shoulder, not caring about avoiding suspicion. He said in a gentle and soothing voice, "I didn't know this pearl was so valuable before. If I had known, I wouldn't have mentioned asking the Peak Master to return the pearl for me in the duel agreement. Just the Peak Master's trust in me before the duel and his mercy during the duel, is that not worth a single pearl?"
Yin Bansi listened to his heartfelt words indifferently. His peeling, sallow and uneven face did not move at all, and he was reluctant to show any expression to Luo Jiujiang.
He suddenly turned his head, and the sarcasm in his eyes was almost as great as the sum of the previous times: "If I say that you go into the house and kill that child now, I can make you a smaller one from her blood. Will you do it?"
At this point, Yin Bansi narrowed his eyes slightly, and two sharp, piercing glares flashed from them, a look as ferocious as lightning. Compared to his usual indifferent demeanor, there was something indescribably terrifying about it. "You just saved her life, and now I want you to pay me back. This life debt is mine."
“…”
Yin Bandi stared at Luo Jiujiang, as if he didn't want to miss any psychological changes on his face.
As he expected, Luo Jiujiang first choked in disbelief, then the muscles at the corners of his eyes twitched strangely a few times, and finally he took a long breath, showing an expression as if he had made some important decision.
Before Yin Bansi could sneer, he felt a sudden pain in his jaw and was knocked back three steps by a punch from the opponent.
"I've thought about it again and again, but I still don't feel comfortable using the scabbard." Luo Jiujiang said solemnly, "Does Peak Master have to do this? We come from academy backgrounds, and we're all civilized people. Why can't we just demonstrate a few moves and still speak in a rude manner?"
Yin Bansi coughed. The punch he had just received had broken his teeth in his mouth, so he spat out blood foam. "If you hit me again, I will send you to hell with a smile on my face. I will fulfill your wish and make you listen to the words of the dead every day."
Having said that, he looked a little better after being punched, but he still spoke in his usual harsh tone: "I hope you'll never regret it. Don't ask me to work for you again in a dozen years—and you don't have to ask me to work for you either. In a dozen years, not even a bone of her will be left."
After saying that, he straightened his collar, and his eyes looked at the lapel that was wrinkled by Luo Jiujiang a moment ago with great disgust. Then he turned around and was about to leave without any reluctance.
Luo Jiujiang became alert: "What did you just say...?"
Yin Bansi glanced at Luo Jiujiang, and suddenly raised his hand to strike him in the face with a needle. Luo Jiujiang did not even draw his sword, but directly knocked the scabbard away with a clang sound, and then he curled up and jumped to avoid the three spiritual energy lines that popped out from Yin Bansi's left palm.
Yin Bansi grabbed the flying spiritual needle and put it in his arms, saying calmly, "Put it on Cui Wei, you can't avoid it."
Luo Jiujiang stood there in a daze, chewing over these words several times, and then he suddenly understood.
Cui Wei is known as the boundary of the human world, but in fact it is still in the realm of cultivation, with rich spiritual energy. Therefore, the spiritual line emitted by Yin Bansi is very concealed when it finds the fluctuation, which is enough for Luo Jiujiang to not identify.
The spiritual energy in a place like the human world is withered, and any of it is as conspicuous as a firecracker in the night sky. And the little girl whose meridians were opened by the mirage pearl -
Luo Jiujiang suddenly turned his head when he thought of the key point. From the beginning, he needed Yin Bansi's guidance to find this hut, but now Luo Jiujiang can locate the direction of this place even if he stands a hundred miles away.
Just now he was too focused on talking to Yin Bansi, and the little girl's changes were gradual, so he failed to notice it at the first time: this time the girl was no longer a firecracker in the night sky, the spiritual energy around her was so radiant that she looked like the moon in the sky.
"It's too eye-catching." Luo Jiujiang frowned.
Yin Bansi sneered, "Just a trick?"
"A tree standing out in the forest might be dangerous for this child. We should take her back to the cultivation world and make a long-term plan."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yin Bansi glanced at him and said, "So you really don't know what will happen to a child who encounters a strange treasure and has his body changed."
"Killing her and trying to cook something out of her is a low-class act. Dissecting her alive is the only way to save materials. You want to take her back to the world of cultivation? A mortal like her, born with unopened spiritual veins, even if a rare treasure were to open up her meridians, her dantian would be blocked and she wouldn't be able to cultivate. Everyone who sees her would hate you for wasting such a treasure. So, we have no choice but to recycle her. We'll pick out her meridians one by one, then peel her skin, eat her flesh, drink her blood, pick out her tendons, and cut out her tongue. Raising her is like raising a pig to be slaughtered."
These words sounded bloody, and Yin Bansi described them vividly, as if the tragic scene was right in front of people's eyes, enough to make ordinary people shudder with fear.
However, Yin Bansi still had no expression on his face and his eyes were empty. He spoke a long string of sentences, but he didn't even emphasize a syllable.
"What—" Luo Jiujiang had just uttered a word when Yin Bansi cut him off with a light and airy assertion. He spoke in a breathy voice, and it was hard to tell whether it was because it took little effort to reach this conclusion, or because he had no strength left after saying it: "She's going to die."
These words sounded very familiar, as if someone had said them to him.
