125: You come and kill!

Chapter 125: You Come and Kill!

"When I caught you in Black Fire City, your Qin Family seemed to be planning to leave Black Fire City?" Cao Yuan, having nothing to do, turned to look at Qin Wuyao and asked.

Qin Wuyao glanced at Cao Yuan, not intending to respond.

Cao Yuan didn't mind.

He smiled and said, "Qin Lie, as the Great Deacon of the Tiandao Alliance's branch in Black Fire City, didn't use the Tiandao Alliance's connections to solve the problem. He's quite a man, but trying to run away isn't very feasible. After the Global datafication, the Global area expanded several times, but finding people is much simpler than before."

These words seemed to be mocking Qin Lie's decision.

Qin Wuyao still ignored him.

At this moment.

Cao Yuan suddenly turned to look at the Sifang Stronghold members behind the city wall.

He called out, "Half a month ago, that newcomer, what was her name... Wang Yujiao? Come out for a moment."

Qin Wuyao was suddenly stunned.

She turned her head in surprise, just in time to see Wang Yujiao, who had left Black Fire City, walk out from the crowd.

Meeting an acquaintance, Qin Wuyao was very surprised.

But Wang Yujiao only looked at Qin Wuyao, then shifted her gaze and walked to Cao Yuan's side.

"Guild Leader, is there anything?" Wang Yujiao asked casually.

Her appearance was very different from before.

Perhaps she had gone through processes like teaming up to clear dungeons.

Although her Level was still low, not even Level 20.

But this progress wasn't slow either.

After all, she was a new professional.

Her demeanor no longer seemed as delicate as before; instead, she had a somewhat travel-worn look.

Perhaps it was due to the strong winds and dry air in this northwestern region.

Wang Yujiao was not as radiant as before.

"Wang Yujiao, I remember you're from Black Fire City, right? Do you know Qin Wuyao? You two are about the same age," Cao Yuan asked.

"Same school," Wang Yujiao replied truthfully.

It was hard to believe.

Cao Yuan could remember Wang Yujiao, a new guild member, so clearly.

He even remembered where Wang Yujiao was from.

But it was also understandable.

While a guild like Sifang Stronghold wasn't bottom-tier, it was definitely not a choice for hidden professions, and even rare professions were somewhat reluctant to join.

After all, besides the Four Great Guilds, many of the top-ranked large guilds were eager for rare professions.

Wang Yujiao joining Sifang Stronghold as a rare professional would naturally receive attention, and the resources and assistance she could obtain would be much better than going to a large guild.

Such a guild was most suitable as a stepping stone for growth.

No wonder Cao Yuan remembered so clearly.

"What a coincidence, you're classmates then. In that case, if Qin Lie still doesn't come, the task of killing your classmate will be yours," Cao Yuan said casually.

What?

Wang Yujiao was suddenly stunned, her face changing dramatically.

Having fought many wild monsters and dungeon BOSSes, Wang Yujiao herself was not afraid of killing.

But to kill Qin Wuyao, who was once a classmate!

Moreover...

Qin Wuyao and Lu Ran's relationship was extraordinary.

Wang Yujiao's face was somewhat pale.

Qin Wuyao's heart also sank, and she looked at Wang Yujiao.

"I..." Wang Yujiao gritted her teeth, hesitating.

Cao Yuan immediately frowned.

He said indifferently, "Wang Yujiao, you haven't awakened your profession for even a month yet, so you're not officially part of Sifang Stronghold. You can leave at any time. I've given you so many resources and assistance, I don't need to say how I've treated you, do I?"

Wang Yujiao gritted her teeth.

Indeed.

She still couldn't join the guild yet.

She was only staying in Sifang Stronghold as a reserve member.

But Cao Yuan had already allocated a lot of resources to her.

She could leave at any time.

Cao Yuan could also kick her out at any time!

At the same time.

Wang Yujiao also roughly understood Cao Yuan's purpose in doing this.

If she killed Qin Lie's daughter, she, Wang Yujiao, wouldn't be able to leave and would have to beg for Sifang Stronghold's protection, binding herself to Sifang Stronghold!

Wang Yujiao didn't want to agree.

But at this point, her fate was not her own.

She could only grit her teeth and say to Qin Wuyao, "You and I have no friendship, and I am not in control of myself. When Lu Ran abandoned me, you also interfered. If I kill you, you can't blame me."

Hmm?

Cao Yuan was stunned; there was another story here?

"You're spouting nonsense!" Qin Wuyao cursed angrily, "You were the one who abandoned Lu Ran!"

Wang Yujiao gritted her teeth, seemingly wanting to argue.

But the words were on the tip of her tongue, yet she couldn't say them.

She just turned to look at Cao Yuan and said, "When do we act? I'll do the killing!"

Cao Yuan laughed heartily, nodding with satisfaction.

He said, "No rush, if that Qin Lie..."

He didn't finish his sentence.

Suddenly, a subordinate beside him shouted, "Qin Lie is here!"

Oh?

Cao Yuan's body trembled, and he quickly turned to look.

Amidst the blowing yellow sand at the mountain pass, two figures were walking step by step.

"Two people?" Cao Yuan frowned.

But he also breathed a sigh of relief.

He was worried that if Qin Lie was pushed too hard, he would use the power of the Tiandao Alliance.

Although the Tiandao Alliance might not necessarily intervene for Qin Lie's personal matters, he was still worried.

Now seeing Qin Lie arrive with only one person, the huge stone in Cao Yuan's heart was finally lifted.

However.

He stared at the other person beside Qin Lie for a long time.

Cao Yuan couldn't recognize who the other party was: "A young man, looking at his age, he's probably not even Level 30. Qin Lie came with just one attendant? He really has guts."

Beside them.

Wang Yujiao and Qin Wuyao were both stunned at the same time.

They recognized him at a glance: it was Lu Ran!

A hint of joy appeared on Qin Wuyao's face, but it immediately gave way to deep worry.

Coming here now, wasn't he just seeking death?

Qin Wuyao didn't know how much Lu Ran had grown now, so worry was naturally normal.

Wang Yujiao had been diligently leveling up with the Sifang Stronghold members these days and hadn't paid attention to news about Lu Ran.

It seemed that in both their minds, Lu Ran's arrival here would lead to the same outcome as Qin Lie's: death!

But Qin Wuyao understood Lu Ran's importance to Dragon Xia.

If he died here because of her, she, Qin Wuyao, would be a sinner for all eternity!

Wang Yujiao turned to look at Qin Wuyao and said in a strange tone, "Your relationship really is extraordinary. For you, Lu Ran dares to take such a risk to come here, but even he, can he save you?"

Wang Yujiao was completely unaware of Lu Ran's abilities.

Although Lu Ran leveled up quickly, it didn't mean much.

A newcomer is just a newcomer!

Qin Wuyao glanced at Wang Yujiao and said indifferently, "If you hadn't betrayed Lu Ran back then, he would have treated you the same way."

As soon as these words came out, Wang Yujiao's heart convulsed violently.

It was as if a pair of sharp claws tore open her chest, squeezing the heart inside forcefully.

She knew, of course!

Her impulsiveness, greed, and wrong choices back then had made her completely lose Lu Ran!

At this moment.

Lu Ran and Qin Lie had already walked to the base of the city wall.

This was the outer perimeter of Sifang Stronghold Guild's Station protection cover.

Qin Lie was very nervous; this was already a position where Sifang Stronghold members could focus fire, and the surroundings were bare, with no cover. Being focused fired meant instant death!

Lu Ran, on the other hand, was very calm.

He looked up at the city wall.

Seeing Qin Wuyao still alive, Lu Ran also breathed a sigh of relief, but then seeing her so weak, a surge of anger immediately flared up in his heart.

As for Wang Yujiao.

Lu Ran certainly saw her, but only glanced at her without any reaction.

She was just an irrelevant stranger, not even worth a second look!
