"Is there anything else you’d like to ask?" Mu Hanyan asked indifferently. This Wu Qiuyun was indeed smart, but he asked too many questions.
"I’m thinking, you must be hiding something, or perhaps, when your father was dispatched to Heishi City, he was also hiding something," Wu Qiuyun mused, resting his chin on his hand.
"You think too much," Mu Hanyan’s expression suddenly turned cold.
She knew that as her power increased, her secrets would one day be exposed, but the longer she could keep them hidden, the better her chances of protecting herself and ensuring the safety of her family. Thus, encountering someone as clever as Wu Qiuyun was troublesome. This update is available on novᴇlfire.net
"Hey, you’re not going to kill me to silence me, are you?" Seeing Mu Hanyan’s impassive face, Wu Qiuyun suddenly realized he had spoken too much and awkwardly said so.
Before the words had finished, a cold light flashed, and Mu Hanyan drew her sword again.
No way, she’s really going to kill to silence someone! Wu Qiuyun’s heart turned ashen instantly. He deeply regretted not keeping his suspicions to himself and showing off his intelligence everywhere. Wasn’t that just asking for trouble?
Wu Qiuyun hadn’t expected Mu Hanyan to act so suddenly and decisively. He didn’t even have time to draw his sword, only feeling a chill by his ear and a warm flow rushing to his face.
I’m dead, just like that! Wu Qiuyun felt an immense sadness within.
"Thud!" A dull sound came from behind. Instinctively, Wu Qiuyun turned his head only to see a giant bear, almost one and a half times the size of a man, collapsed on the ground. Its eyes, which were previously filled with hostility, gradually turned dull and lifeless. And on its chest, just like the Wind Fox before, there was another tiny red dot.
Fierce Bear, Wu Qiuyun gasped. Although not as fast or intelligent as the Wind Fox, the strength of the Fierce Bear was exceptional among the Exotic Beasts. If Mu Hanyan hadn’t acted in time, he would have probably avoided the trouble of arranging a funeral, and one could simply find him in the dirt pit.
"Sometimes, it’s enough to think some things in your head, and not broadcast them everywhere," Mu Hanyan said coldly.
She could be steely against enemies, but she was not bloodthirsty, and she wouldn’t kill someone just because they were a little too clever.
"I get it, rest assured, I won’t spread a word," Wu Qiuyun said, realizing he was soaked in cold sweat, and hurriedly added.
Looking at Mu Hanyan’s slightly gaunt figure, Wu Qiuyun suddenly felt an invisible oppression emanating from her, especially when her face turned cold, it was almost unbearable to look straight at her.
Who exactly is this Mu Hanyan? Wu Qiuyun’s heart was filled with curiosity, yet he dared not ask another question, fearing that a careless word could lead to fatal danger.
"Alright, don’t think too much about it. I’m not so vicious as to kill someone over a little secret," Mu Hanyan said with a smile seeing Wu Qiuyun’s terrified expression. After all, they were companions who would have to fight side by side if real danger arose. They could hardly become strangers now.
"Yes, okay," Wu Qiuyun’s mood finally relaxed upon seeing Mu Hanyan’s smile.
"Check if there’s a Beast Blood Pearl," Mu Hanyan told Mu Cheng.
