Chapter 280 Negotiated
"Of course!" Yuan Ziyu said proudly. The spring water in the Qiongjiang Pavilion is more powerful than any medicine.
Xue Ren then became serious and said solemnly, "That being said, achieving our goal will probably require some effort. An open attack is definitely not the right approach. It's not that I look down on the soldiers of your Dali Dynasty, but you're all so incompetent!"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Ziyou raised her eyebrows and said, "You are the coward!"
Humph, if this guy said that, he would involve her father, brother and Brother Xi. Yuan Ziyu would not agree to it.
Xue Ren was stunned for a moment: "I didn't say anything about you!"
Yuan Ziyu didn't say anything, but stared at Xue Ren fiercely!
Xue Ren had been trained as a killer since he was a child and rarely came into contact with women, let alone been glared at by a woman. Seeing Yuan Ziyu glaring at him, he was a little puzzled. He didn't know how he had offended Yuan Ziyu. However, these two people were entrusted by Guimian and were friends, not enemies. He couldn't turn his face against them, so he said, "Okay, okay, I won't say anything, okay!"
"Hmph!" Seeing that Xue Ren had surrendered, Yuan Ziyu snorted and turned his head away, ignoring him.
Xue Ren rubbed his nose, not wanting to provoke Yuan Ziyou again, so he said to Huo Xifei, "You've sent troops to encircle and suppress Youye Tower several times, but each time you returned empty-handed. What makes you think you can succeed this time?"
"So, we came to find you!" Huo Xifei said with a smile.
"Looking for me to help you from the inside?" Xue Ren chuckled. "I have to remind you, the assassins of Youye Tower have received training since childhood that is beyond your imagination. Ordinary drugs and poisons will have no effect on us. For example, the poisonous miasma in the valley behind us, if we don't take the antidote, we can still hold out for half the distance."
Yuan Ziyu and Huo Xifei were both stunned when they heard this. No wonder the killers in Youye Tower were so difficult to deal with. What kind of devilish training did they receive?
"What? Are you considering backing out?" Xue Ren asked with a raised lip corner.
"Now that we're here, wouldn't it be embarrassing to go back like this?" Huo Xifei raised an eyebrow and said, "Besides, we promised Guimian that we would help him fulfill his wish."
"Okay, since you have made up your mind, I will help you!" Xue Ren said in a deep voice with a serious face.
Huo Xifei said, "You have to think carefully. If Youye Tower is destroyed, you will be in trouble too. Are you sure you agree to help us?"
"I'm not helping you!" Xue Ren glanced at Huo Xifei and said, "This is Guimian's last wish. I must help him achieve it. Besides, even if you don't come, I will help him avenge this sooner or later!"
The following words were almost squeezed out from between Xue Ren's teeth.
"I didn't realize you two have such a good relationship!" Yuan Ziyu couldn't help but say.
"Who's on good terms with him?" Xue Ren snorted. "Humph, that guy is simply a stubborn donkey. He won't turn back even if he hits a wall!"
"You're still trying to be stubborn!" Yuan Ziyu curled his lips.
"You..." Xue Ren gritted his teeth and simply turned his head away from Yuan Ziyu. Humph, a good man doesn't fight with a woman. He continued to say to Huo Xifei, "Tell me, how do you want me to help you?"
Upon hearing this, Huo Xifei flipped his hand and took out a small wine gourd: "Here is the drug. You just need to put it in the water source of your Youye Tower."
"Heh!" Xue Ren smiled upon hearing this: "Did you not understand what I just said?"
"Of course I understand!" Huo Xifei said, "But this isn't an ordinary drug. I wouldn't say it can make the people in Youye Tower unconscious for three or four days, but it can at least last for three or four hours."
"Really?" Xue Ren asked with his eyes wide open, "Are you sure?"
You have to know that the killers of Youye Tower have received strict and cruel training since childhood. The reason why ordinary poisons and drugs are useless is because they are fed with increasing dosages little by little since childhood. Those who can't hold on would have already gone to hell and would never become killers of Youye Tower.
But the man in front of him actually said that the drugs in his hand could make them unconscious for three or four hours, so this was not an ordinary drug.
"Of course!" Huo Xifei nodded confidently. This drug was made with spiritual spring water, and its efficacy was incomparable to ordinary drugs.
"Okay!" Xue Ren nodded and took the small wine gourd. "When do we take action?"
"The day after tomorrow at the hour of You!" Huo Xifei said.
Xue Ren nodded and said, "Okay, I will put the drug into the water source before that."
"Thank you!" Huo Xifei nodded and said.
"There's no need to do that. We can just take what we need!" Xue Ren said calmly.
"What are your plans when this matter is settled?" Huo Xifei asked.
"What?" Xue Ren asked in surprise, "Are you going to let me go? Don't forget, I'm the assassin of Youye Tower!"
Huo Xifei then said, "I promised Guimian that I would let you go!"
Xue Ren was stunned when he heard this: "Did Ghost Face tell you that?"
Seeing Huo Xifei nodded, Xue Ren smiled and said, "This kid has a conscience!"
Then, thinking that Ghost Face was no longer in this world, a trace of sadness inevitably appeared on his face: "Can you bury him properly?"
"When things are settled, I'll take you to see him!" Huo Xifei said.
"Okay!" Xue Ren nodded in response.
Huo Xifei smiled and said, "Why, aren't you worried that I'll trick you into a trap?"
"Haha!" Xue Ren laughed. "Since Ghost Face can entrust his affairs to you, I think he is right. Although he is a bit cold-blooded, he is still very good at judging people. If you want to capture me, why bother?"
"Since we have agreed on it, let's leave first!" Huo Xifei looked out the window. It was late at night and there was no one around. Xue Ren was in a remote place, so there was no one outside.
"Okay!" Xue Ren did not hesitate: "Don't worry, since I promised you, I will definitely live up to your trust."
"Okay! I'll leave it to you then!" Huo Xifei thought for a moment, then instructed, "My people haven't seen you yet. You might as well change your appearance the day after tomorrow so that it will be easier for you to escape."
"Thank you for the reminder!" Xue Ren bowed and thanked him, "I will cover it up the next day."
"Goodbye!" Huo Xifei also bowed to Xue Ren, then jumped out of the window with Yuan Ziyu, found a secluded corner, and Yuan Ziyu took Huo Xifei into the Qiongjiang Pavilion.
Xue Ren sat back down at the table, examined the small wine gourd in the moonlight, then hid it in his arms, squinting his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking about. After a long while, he returned to his room and fell into a deep sleep.
"Brother Xi!" In the Qiongjiang Pavilion, Yuan Ziyou hesitated for a long time, then coughed uncomfortably: "Um...um...I want to tell you something."
"You'er, what do you want to say?" Huo Xifei asked.
Yuan Ziyou coughed again, glanced at Huo Xifei, and then looked away: "Um, that drug you gave Xue Ren just now was... fake!"
