Is she interested?
She’s interested, but Ye Jiao didn’t think that she would accept the mission. Slowly, Ye Jiao shook her head.
Her brain was currently processing the information that she had just received. It surprised her that Wei Mi managed to form her core at the age of 11. But if she thought about it again, that girl was known to have great talent in the Chen Kingdom. In just a few more years, she would surely become a threat for other emerging geniuses.
Only if she survived.
"That’s too bad. So, are you planning on taking a mission now?"
"Not now, I want to consolidate my strength first. Thanks for the information," Ye Jiao gave a silver coin to the receptionist before walking out of the hall. Her eyes were filled with complicated expressions.
As soon as she got out, Ye Jiao looked up at the sky. She still remembered how Wei Mi always bullied her in the past. It was so painful because she never had a way to counter that girl. Not to mention the hidden guards around, even she herself didn’t have enough strength to fight back since they were a group.
Now, the time has come.
She wouldn’t let her off for what she had done. It might be petty of her, but she couldn’t just forgive that girl for doing what she did before.
However, she wouldn’t do it through the mission. She had a completely different way to deal with this matter. Rather than death, there was a much greater pain that people could experience.
’Time to depart.’
As Ye Jiao traveled back to Chen Kingdom Capital City, her mind was filled with plans of what she would do. It was only a few days ago that she taught Wei Liao how to assassinate. Hopefully, he would be more than ready to do what she would task him to do.
Swish!
"Master?" Wei Liao was surprised to see Ye Jiao appear before him. Even with his training, he was unable to see Ye Jiao until she was only a few meters away from him and revealed herself.
Ye Jiao looked at Wei Liao. "How’s your training so far?"
"It’s good. I can sneak around a bit, but I can’t go undetected if I have to face a powerful Eon Energy Master," Wei Liao replied.
"It’s good enough."
"Master?"
Noticing Wei Liao’s confused tone, Ye Jiao added her words. "We’re going to move now. Are you ready?"
"Now?" Wei Liao was surprised. He had prepared himself to make sure Wei Mi paid for what she did to him, but he never thought that it would come this early. Sure, he had trained his body but without forming his core, he wouldn’t be able to use Eon Energy properly.
"I don’t need you to fight against the guards and others. I just want you to return what Wei Mi did to you back to her," Ye Jiao replied calmly, yet there was a hint of ruthlessness inside her tone. It was coated in killing intent as if she was impatient to make a move.
Wei Liao took a deep breath at the task that Ye Jiao gave him. He was thinking of killing that girl in the past, but now that he heard what Ye Jiao said, there should be a completely different plan.
"Master, has Wei Mi formed her core?"
"She formed her core a few days ago based on the information I received," Ye Jiao replied. She trusted the information in Bao Fu Organization because they always filter everything to make sure that the mission would be correct. After all, it would affect their reputation badly if they didn’t do so.
"Can I be the one to...?"
"Yes," Ye Jiao replied directly without the need to hear the rest of the sentence. She knew what he wanted to say and the answer would be yes. She took him in because of this precise reason.
Wei Liao nodded gratefully. "Master, do you have any other reason as to why you decide to help me?"
Why did she help him?
She didn’t have any reason to help Wei Liao considering what he had done in the past to her. However, when she saw his expression full of remorse and the slight concealed killing intent, she knew that he was the same as her. He would be biding his time patiently to achieve his goal and wouldn’t do anything reckless when there was nothing he could do.
He had experienced both glory and pain, so Ye Jiao decided that she should help him out.
Even if she could do it by herself easily, she wanted to let him be the one to do the mission because she knew that Wei Mi didn’t only mistreat one person. There were a lot of them and each of them would want revenge. Since she couldn’t show her face, it would be better for her to recognize Wei Liao instead.
At the same time, she could use this chance to target a completely different person.
Ye Jiao’s eyes flashed with ruthlessness. "That’s because I need you."
The way Ye Jiao said it was unclear, but Wei Liao knew that she truly meant it. Well, he didn’t really need to understand too. Her world has been something that he didn’t know well.
"I understand. Whatever you ask me, I’ll do it, Master."
If she asked him to go to the west, he would never head to the east. If she asked him to kill his own father, he would gladly do so. Even if she asked him to give his life after this, he would not refuse.
"I don’t ask you to go there to die," Ye Jiao found that Wei Liao’s look was strange. "I’ll take care of the guards. All you have to do is make sure that you put that girl in despair."
There was no need for Ye Jiao to give the order so explicitly because Wei Liao already understood what Ye Jiao wanted to say. He beamed. "Yes, Master!"
