134: Chapter 0134 Lou Suifeng

Lin Xiao looked like it was a matter of course.

Liu Hanyi thought about it and realized he was right; Lin Xiao was already a peerless genius, so anyone Lin Xiao held in such high regard, like this Yu Zecheng, must be extraordinary.

The more capable he was, the greater the chance of healing Shu Yelan!

"You may see my true face, but there are conditions," said Liu Hanyi.

"What, you want to bargain with me?" Lin Xiao sneered.

Liu Hanyi shook her head. "Once you see me, you must marry me, or... one of us must die."

Even though Lin Xiao had mentally prepared himself, he was still stunned by the words of the Chimei Gouhun Envoy.

What kind of feudal poison is this!? You have to pledge yourself to someone just because you meet?

"Are you crazy? What if you're ugly? Wouldn't I be taking a huge loss?"

"I am very beautiful and definitely worthy of you. You can rest assured on that point," Liu Hanyi replied very seriously.

Lin Xiao took a deep breath. "Are you serious?"

"Of course, I never joke."

Liu Hanyi looked indifferent, as if she were discussing someone else's marriage.

"Do you know what marriage means? You don't think it's just playing house, do you?"

"Isn't it just sleeping together at night, having children, and living life?"

Liu Hanyi frowned. "Is there something else?"

Lin Xiao gasped. Damn... he'd met a real expert!

Fortunately, he was wearing Yu Zecheng's mask; otherwise, he would have really made a fool of himself.

"Forget it, I won't look at you."

Lin Xiao felt it was meaningless. This woman was too straightforward; it made him feel like he was bullying an honest person.

"Why? Do you think I'm lying to you?" Liu Hanyi frowned.

"Whether you are good-looking or not is irrelevant to me, because I have no intention of getting married, nor do I want to kill you."

"Why wouldn't it be me killing you?"

"Because you need me to save someone. Is that reason enough?"

Liu Hanyi bit her lower lip. For the first time in her life, she felt completely controlled.

"You... can you really heal my master?"

"Less chatter, peel the garlic!" Lin Xiao commanded.

Liu Hanyi had no choice; she gritted her teeth and continued her battle with the garlic.

If the people in the martial arts world saw the dignified Chimei Gouhun Envoy, the half-step grandmaster Liu Hanyi, peeling garlic like a village girl, their jaws would likely drop in shock.

Meanwhile. Yong Province. Bai Princes Mansion.

Prince Bai sat in a chair in the study, drinking ginseng tea, with Liao Meier crouching beside him, massaging his legs.

Not far in front of him, a man dressed in black, with several strands of white hair covering half his face and a tall, imposing build, sat with a cold expression.

Beside the man stood a huge, pitch-black mysterious iron bow, its body exuding an aura of killing intent.

The man sat there, his eyes darting toward Liao Meier.

Liao Meier naturally noticed the man's strange gaze, and her expression became somewhat unnatural.

"Mr. Lou, I agreed to cooperate with you and even sent experts from the Silver Armor Army to assist in your operations."

"Not only did I help you successfully severely injure the Yanyu Pavilion Master, but I also helped you kill a dozen disobedient assassins."

"And now, you are telling me... you cannot help me kill Lin Xiao?"

Prince Bai sneered. "What, do you think I really dare not touch you, this master of archery?"

"Your Highness, please calm your anger."

Lou Suifeng cupped his hands but did not stand up.

"Your Highness is of noble status, commanding an army of three hundred thousand, and with the Silver Armor Army, one of the five great iron cavalries, in your hands. Naturally, you would not hold a mere martial artist like me in your eyes."

"The reason I, Lou, have abandoned darkness for light is precisely because I value Your Highness's demeanor of one destined to rule the world, which is why I decided to pledge my loyalty."

"Killing Lin Xiao will certainly take some effort, but it is not a difficult task."

Prince Bai said impatiently, "Enough with the nonsense! Since it is not difficult, why the delay in taking action!?"

Lou Suifeng said solemnly, "Your Highness, although the Pavilion Master took a poison arrow from me, her internal energy is profound, and she will not die so easily."

"I must see her alive or see her corpse. The hall masters and assassins of the thirteen pavilions will not truly listen to my commands unless they are certain the Pavilion Master is dead."

"Your Highness may not know that the Pavilion Master possesses the Heaven-Severing Sword Technique. She alone can form a sword formation. Even three of me would struggle to win in a direct confrontation!"

"Moreover, this woman's mastery of disguise is extremely high. If not for a sneak attack, killing her would be as difficult as ascending to heaven."

"Even we top-tier assassins fear this woman launching a retaliation after she recovers from her injuries."

Prince Bai narrowed his eyes. "You mean to say, we must confirm the Yanyu Pavilion Master is dead before we can act? How long must we wait for that?"

"One month!"

Lou Suifeng said, "One month from now, if this woman does not appear, there is a high probability she is dead. At that time, I will use avenging the Faceless Boy as a pretext to eliminate Lin Xiao for Your Highness!"

Prince Bai's eyes flickered for a moment, then he nodded. "Fine. It is winter now anyway, so there is no rush... I will wait one month for you!"

"If you dare to break your word again, do not blame me for being ruthless!"

Lou Suifeng then stood up. "I would not dare!"

Prince Bai smiled. "Mr. Lou, if you can eliminate Lin Xiao for me, this concubine of mine is yours!"

Liao Meier's face turned pale, and she was extremely anxious, but she dared not speak out in opposition.

Lou Suifeng grinned, revealing a strange smile, and greedily glanced at Liao Meier.

"Your Highness, there is no rush regarding the reward."

"Haha... that is true. I am tired, so I will not see you out."

Lou Suifeng nodded slightly, then shouldered his huge mysterious iron bow and walked out.

Arriving outside the mansion, snow began to fall from the sky.

Lou Suifeng looked up at the deep, dark night sky and narrowed his eyes.

"Have you found Chimei?"

A man wearing a black mask had appeared, who knows when, atop the giant stone lion at the entrance.

"No, she must have disguised herself; it is not easy to find her."

This person was Wangliang.

"Chimei has gone missing; it is highly probable she is with that bitch Shu Yelan."

"Go investigate the inner sect elders of the Sword Forest. Shu Yelan comes from the Sword Forest and is Bai Jingfei's junior sister."

Lou Suifeng snorted coldly, "She is severely injured; the only people she can turn to for help are those old acquaintances from her generation in the Sword Forest."

Wangliang hesitated for a moment.

"Speak if you have something to say. Since you agreed to be on my side and pledge loyalty to Prince Bai, we are in the same boat."

"Second Leader, if Chimei... if she is caught, can you not kill her and instead hand her over to me to deal with?"

"What do you mean? Aren't you mortal enemies?" Lou Suifeng frowned.

"..."

Lou Suifeng suddenly understood something and laughed, "So that's it... Very well, as long as her internal energy is crippled and her hand tendons are severed, you can do whatever you want with the rest!"

"Many thanks!"

Wangliang said nothing more and quickly disappeared into the dark night.
