Chapter 35 All have ulterior motives



"Even if you don't agree, we can go our separate ways and you can't stop us from going the same way."

Mr. Huang quickly added another sentence.

"I can't control where you go, but I can control myself from taking action." Ji Changying sneered.

"The people chasing us are not easy to deal with. Even if we die, you can't escape. Even if you are good at fighting, you can't protect your family, right?"

Mr. Huang's words were a bit shameless, which showed that he had made up his mind to follow them.

Ji Changying was mentally prepared: "When asking for help, you should behave in a begging manner. Are you threatening me now?"

"It's not a threat, it's cooperation. If you agree, we're willing to pay you three thousand taels, and all the belongings found on the dead soldiers along the way will be yours."

Xie Siheng asked Mr. Huang about the situation after that day. He knew that Ji Changying had even looted the weapons and corpses of the assassins last time, so he spoke like this.

Ji Changying raised an eyebrow. "A death warrior? Ordinary people can't afford to support one. If the person behind you sets his sights on me, it won't be worth it. At least three thousand taels of gold, right?"

Mr. Huang slammed the table angrily: "How dare you dream of three thousand taels of gold!"

Ji Changying curled her lips in disdain: "So your lives aren't worth three thousand taels of gold?"

"Bah! How can my life be measured by such vulgar things?"

"That's only three thousand taels of gold, why are you in such a hurry?"

Mr. Huang: “…”

Xie Siheng said coldly: "I don't have three thousand taels of gold, but I promise you that those people will not target you. If you agree, these three thousand taels are now yours."

He motioned to Mr. Huang to take out the banknotes.

Huang Lao angrily took out a banknote from his pocket and slammed it on the table, mocking him, "You've probably never seen such a lot of money in your life, have you?"

This old man speaks so harshly.

Ji Changying was too lazy to argue with him. She looked at the intact half of Xie Siheng's face and said, "I agree to cooperate, but these three thousand taels are just a deposit. You need to give me another three thousand taels when we get to Liangzhou. In addition, I have another condition. If you don't agree, we can go our separate ways."

"What conditions?" Xie Siheng stopped Mr. Huang who was about to speak again.

"That day, you flew directly from the carriage to the side of the man in black. Can you teach me how you did it?"

Ji Changying looked at Xie Siheng with shining eyes.

Ever since he saw the fight between him and the man in black that day, Ji Changying has been thinking that this world seems to be different from the world he knew before.

The people here actually have Qinggong skills!

She was extremely envious.

Don't miss this opportunity that comes to your doorstep.

"You don't have internal strength?" Xie Siheng's heart sank.

Old Huang was chopped so hard that his outside was burnt and his inside was tender. He reached out and grabbed Ji Changying's wrist and pressed it down.

"She really didn't!" After a few seconds, Mr. Huang let go of her hand in shock.

Xie Siheng and Mr. Huang looked at each other and fell silent.

"If there is no, then there is no, is that so strange?" Ji Changying didn't quite understand the sadness on Mr. Huang's face.

"You liar! You made me lose face!" Mr. Huang pointed at her angrily, his face flushed red, as if he had been cheated.

Ji Changying couldn't stand it any longer and slapped the table, breaking it: "What are you yelling about! Are you the only one with the loudest voice? What did I lie to you about? Tell me!"

"You lied... You lied..." When Mr. Huang saw her smash the table with one palm, his momentum inexplicably weakened.

Thinking back carefully, she didn't seem to have ever said that she was skilled or a master...

Xie Siheng raised his hand and rubbed his brow. After all this time, it turned out that they had taken it for granted.

but··

Looking at the broken table and the scattered food on the floor, Xie Siheng frowned.

"We misunderstood your skills, but even without internal energy, your strength is unmatched by ordinary people."

Ji Changying snorted softly: "I'm glad to know!"

"I don't have any internal energy, but I asked you to teach me. And don't forget, even if I didn't have any internal energy, I was the one who helped deal with the men in black last time."

Hearing this, Mr. Huang calmed down instantly.

Yes, isn’t that why they think this girl’s skills are superb?

He sat back down again.

Xie Siheng was silent, his fingers tapping on the table. "Those assassins from last time were not top-tier. I wonder if the girl can handle them?"

She said quietly, "You may not know, although I don't have any internal energy, I am naturally strong and have sharp senses. No matter how fast the moves are, I can dodge them..."

The words haven't even finished yet.

A fierce and sharp gust of wind flew towards her temple. She tilted her head and reached out to quickly grab the flying object.

A lily of the valley.

Mr. Huang was so shocked that he didn't have time to react and swallowed nervously.

Ji Changying held the hairpin in her hand and looked at the person opposite her, with a mocking expression on her face: "Your move is fast and fierce, not bad."

Xie Siheng's eyes changed, with a hint of apology on his face, and he looked like a gentle gentleman: "I'm sorry for offending you just now. This was also to test what the young lady said just now. If you can't even take this hairpin, then there's no need to let the young lady die with you."

"Are you satisfied now?"

"Yes." Xie Siheng nodded with a smile.

Huang Lao excitedly said, "Oh my God! You are a natural born martial artist! If Crazy Wu knew about this, he would be so happy!"

Ji Changying snorted and her expression looked better.

Everyone had their own ulterior motives, so she would remember what had just happened.

"If you agree to my terms, I'll take the money. If you don't agree, don't waste your time."

Xie Siheng pushed the money to her: "Sure."

Ji Changying took the money and put it in her arms: "Now that the deal is done, do you want to eat?"

Mr. Huang called the waiter and paid him some money to have him quickly clean up the table and serve the food again.

The three of them picked up their chopsticks at the same time.

After the apocalypse, the restaurant was long gone, and even the taste and appearance of the ingredients had changed. I haven't had a good day here since I came here.

My aunt’s cooking is also delicious, but due to limited conditions, I can only say that the food tastes good.

It’s completely different from the meal in front of me. Not only are the ingredients top-notch, but the taste is also top-notch.

Look at this roast chicken, it is so tender and tasty, and it leaves a delicious taste in your mouth.

There is also this sour radish and duck stew, the duck meat is tender and the radish is sour and refreshing and very greasy.

There are also this eight-treasure soup, jade cake...

Mr. Huang and Xie Siheng had already put down their chopsticks and watched her work hard on the table full of dishes.

"If you can't eat it, don't eat it. Don't force yourself to eat it."

Mr. Huang saw Ji Changying eating and couldn't help but persuade her.

Ji Changying raised her head with an unhappy look on her face: "I'm eating delicious food, don't say that to affect my appetite."

"The taste is so ordinary, how can you eat so much?" Mr. Huang was shocked.

Ji Changying glanced at him and said, "Compared to grass roots and rotten meat, this is considered a top delicacy."

A full man does not know the hunger of a hungry man.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Huang and Xie Siheng looked at her at the same time.

Mr. Huang had a disgusted expression on his face: "You even ate that! How disgusting!"
