Wu Xie and Ruan Xiyan's eyes met, and he smiled. "Miss Ruan, we meet again. I've said before that we are destined to be together."
Yu Qiqi looked at Wu Xie and muttered in surprise, "A monk?"
Judging from what the monk said, he had met Sister Yan before.
Upon seeing Wu Xie appear, Jun Yu frowned slightly. The aura emanating from this person was strange, with a hint of eeriness.
Jun Yu walked to Ruan Xiyan's side and stood there. Anyone with eyes could see his strong intention to protect her.
He asked softly, "Does Ayan know him?"
“We’ve met once before,” Ruan Xiyan said slowly, staring at Wu Xie.
It was the demonic monk she had seen in the prison tower of Yunjin Kingdom.
Not only had they met, they had also fought, and neither side could gain the upper hand.
There was an odd tension in the atmosphere on both sides.
Yao Tianshang said, "So Wuxie and you know each other. It's quite a coincidence that we meet again here."
"How about I treat you? Let's go to a tavern and have a good drink."
"No need, we're not familiar with each other, there's no need." Ruan Xiyan looked at Yao Tianshang, "Since I dealt with Wu Xin, the final decision on how to deal with this person is naturally up to me."
"The Second Prince probably won't try to steal it, right?"
"Of course, you can do whatever you want with this old man, young lady." Yao Tianshang gestured for her to proceed.
“Wanwan, take revenge.” Ruan Xiyan looked at Luo Wanyin.
Wanwan's previous suffering was all thanks to Wu Xin, so now she entrusts Wu Xin's life and death to Wanwan.
Luo Wanyin nodded, knowing that Xi Yan wanted her to take revenge herself, and a warm feeling washed over her.
She walked up to Wu Xin and released the poisonous spider she had been raising.
Poisonous spiders gradually crawled all over his body, gnawing away at his flesh bit by bit.
Wu Xin rolled around on the ground in a sorry state, yelling, "Ah! You little bitch!"
"Kill me! Kill me!"
Hearing the noisy voice, Luo Wanyin raised her hand and dislocated his jaw. "Wouldn't it be too easy for you to just kill you?"
"You like practicing poison techniques, right? Then enjoy the pain of being devoured by a poisonous spider and die from the poison techniques you're so proud of."
Wu Xin let out a low growl, and in no time he was devoured by the poisonous spider, his body covered in bruises and no signs of life.
Yao Tianshang secretly gasped.
This girl looks pretty and charming, but she can be really ruthless.
However, Wu Xin's current predicament is well-deserved.
"Now that Wu Xin is dead, why don't you all come with me to the City Lord's Mansion for a visit?"
“Very well.” A sly glint flashed in Ruan Xiyan’s eyes. “Your Highness, since we have rid the Holy Martial Dynasty of a scourge, we should at least receive some reward.”
"Otherwise, we might lose face for the Holy Martial Dynasty, so we won't ask for more than we should."
Ruan Xiyan pretended to ponder and said, "Now that Wu Xin is dead, no one will use the things in his city lord's mansion."
"Keeping them is a waste. Why not give us the things from the city lord's mansion as compensation?"
Upon hearing this, Yao Tianshang paused for a moment, then shook his head and smiled.
Wu Xie was right; this kind of advantage is not something you can just take for granted.
They dealt with Wu Xin, so it's only right that they ask for some compensation.
But to my surprise, the first thing he asked for was Wu Xin's city lord's mansion.
Wu Xin has been the city lord of Jinrong City for so many years, and he has collected quite a lot of things in his mansion.
This girl really doesn't suffer any loss.
The key point is that this statement was made with great skill, making it impossible for anyone to refute.
Yao Tianshang thought for a moment and said generously, "Alright, you can do whatever you want with the things in the City Lord's Mansion. Consider it making friends."
"Your Highness the Second Prince is so straightforward." Ruan Xiyan smiled slightly.
“We’ve met before, so there’s no need for you to be so polite, young lady. Just call me by my name.” Yao Tianshang smiled warmly, showing little of the airs one would expect from a prince.
The City Lord's Mansion.
Ruan Xiyan gave Yu Qiqi and the others a look, and they understood, immediately rushing into the city lord's mansion.
Regardless of what it is or whether it's useful or not, take it all first.
Ruan Xiyan and Jun Yu sat down on chairs in the courtyard, while Yao Tianshang and Wu Xie sat opposite them.
"After you've finished moving your things, young lady, it's time to leave Jinrong City."
Ruan Xiyan nodded.
"That's such a pity. You are a very generous and forthright young lady. I had hoped to get to know you better, but it turned out to be a hasty farewell. I hope we will have the chance to meet again in the future."
Ruan Xiyan smiled without saying a word, simply sipping her tea.
Wu Xie, who was standing next to him, fiddled with the Buddhist prayer beads on his wrist and suddenly said, "Miss Ruan, can't you reconsider and come with me? It won't take up too much of your time."
"I'm busy." Ruan Xiyan's expression was indifferent, her refusal was straightforward and obvious.
"Or do you want to fight me again like last time and forcibly take me away?" Ruan Xiyan rested her chin on her hand, her eyes fixed on Wu Xie.
Wu Xie remained unmoved and chuckled lightly, "Miss, you jest. This humble monk is very refined and dislikes violence."
"Besides, some things require the lady's consent. This humble monk is very patient. I will wait for the day when Miss Ruan changes her mind."
Ruan Xiyan tapped her fingertips lightly on the armrest of the chair, and smiled as she heard this, saying, "Then you'd better wait and see."
Yao Tianshang, who was listening nearby, looked completely bewildered.
These two had fought before, so it's quite strange that they can now sit together peacefully.
But listening to their conversation gave me a feeling I couldn't quite put my finger on.
"Come on, Ayan, have some tea." Jun Yu refilled Ruan Xiyan's empty teacup and pushed it in front of her.
Ruan Xiyan smiled, picked up the glass, and took another sip.
Yu Qiqi and the others quickly came out of the various rooms. "Sister Yan, everything has been moved."
Ruan Xiyan stood up. "Then let's go."
"Miss Ruan, we'll meet again someday," Wu Xie said with a smile.
Ruan Xiyan glanced back at him, said nothing, and left the city lord's mansion directly.
Watching Ruan Xiyan and the others walk away, Yao Tianshang looked at his friend Wu Xie beside him and said, "You're planning to take that girl back to the Western Regions' Brahma Kingdom, aren't you?"
"Since it's so important, why not try to keep it?"
He could clearly see the determination in Wu Xie's eyes to take that girl back.
“Given Miss Ruan’s personality, forcing her will only backfire,” Wu Xie said. “It seems we need to think of other ways.”
"Tian Shang, I'm leaving too." Wu Xie looked at Yao Tian Shang.
“Wu Xie, although I don’t know why your personality has changed so drastically, nor do I understand what you’ve been running around so busy with, if there’s anything I can do to help, please let me know.”
Wu Xie nodded. "Take care."
He then turned and left, his back view looking somewhat lonely and desolate.
Dressed in white, she stood alone, aloof from the world.
The figure walked further and further away until it disappeared from sight.
