Chapter 192: Cloud Fusang
Ye Fei smiled, but the smile didn't reach her eyes: "Sorry, I don't drink with cats and dogs."
"Hey, you little brat, you really don't know what's good for you! Let your big brother teach you a lesson..."
The man reached out towards Ye Fei, but before his fingers could even touch an inch of her skin, an ice shard suddenly shot out from somewhere, piercing his hand with a speed imperceptible to the naked eye!
"Ah!" the man cried out, clutching his hand in unbearable pain as blood dripped down his fingers.
The man's other henchmen immediately raised their weapons: "Which fool dares to hurt our boss?! Come out here!"
The next second, a slender figure dressed in white walked out.
Ye Fei looked up and saw a girl of similar age to her, with black hair draped over her shoulders, exquisite features, and an otherworldly temperament. Her pair of cold and beautiful eyes were particularly striking, and she wore a spotless white dress, like a white orchid blooming in the frost.
Ye Fei blinked; she noticed a pair of pointed ears beneath the girl's black hair.
"Oh! So you're quite the beauty!" The man, who had been injured by the ice shards, calmed down considerably when he saw how stunning the girl was. "Little beauty, come with me and I'll let it go."
The girl narrowed her eyes dangerously, a red light flashed in her eyes, and her figure suddenly approached the man eerily. She grabbed a dagger and held it to his neck, applying a little pressure, and blood immediately flowed from his neck.
"roll!"
The girl's face was as cold as ice, and her eyes were so sharp that even the man couldn't help but back away.
At that moment, one of the henchmen noticed a jade pendant shaped like an auspicious cloud hanging from her waist, and his expression changed drastically: "It's someone from the Yun family! Boss, run!"
That's the Yun family, one of the eight great families. We can't afford to offend them!
Enraged by his underling's words, the man lost all reason: "What kind of bullshit Yun family is this? I'll..."
"Who dares to act so arrogantly in front of the Mercenary Guild?!"
A powerful voice rang out from the Mercenary Guild's main hall. A resolute-looking man walked out with his hands behind his back, his cold gaze fixed on the man. A strong aura emanated from him, pressing down on the man and making his face flush red.
The man's unfinished curse was abruptly cut off, and a hint of fear flashed in his eyes. He quickly bowed, saying, "So, it's Consul Xia..."
Xia Jin glanced at the man, then waved his hand dismissively, saying, "If you cause any more trouble, I'll make sure you can't stay in the mercenary guild in Lingyun Kingdom. Get lost."
"Yes...we'll leave right away!"
The man and his henchmen fled as if facing a formidable enemy.
Xia Jin walked slowly to the girl in white and respectfully clasped his hands in greeting: "Miss Yun, are you here to receive your mission today as well?"
The young woman looked at Xia Jin coldly and uttered a single sentence: "Those guys just now ruined my mood. What do you suggest we do about it, Consul Xia?"
Xia Jin smiled calmly and replied, "Understood. I'll go and remove those troublemakers from the Mercenary Guild right away."
"Consul Xia is indeed reasonable."
Xia Jin stopped exchanging pleasantries, bowed to the girl, and then turned to do his work.
Without the interference of others, Ye Fei was finally able to thank the girl: "Thank you for your help earlier. My name is Ye Fei."
"I know you."
The girl looked at Ye Fei and said, word by word, "Your display of talent in the freshman trial and your competition with Mu Jingshen on the sparring stage a few days ago have left a deep impression on me."
Ye Fei raised an eyebrow: "Are you a student at Lingfeng Academy, young lady?"
"My name is Yun Fusang." The girl introduced herself, paused, and looked up to meet Ye Fei's gaze: "I hope that next time, I can also have a match with you on the sparring stage."
