Chapter 84

Yan Lingji's heart tightened; she had not expected Su Xuan to know.

After her master escaped, he immediately gathered them, his former subordinates.

After her master was imprisoned years ago, they had been hiding in Han, intending to find his whereabouts and rescue him, but before they could find him, he had already come out first.

Later, from her master Tian Ze, they learned that he had been released by Bai Yifei.

In other words, Su Xuan had guessed correctly.

Immediately after, Yan Lingji felt endless anger. What Bai Yifei was plotting, she didn't care much about; what she cared about was that Su Xuan actually called her master a "dog." All this talk of stray dogs and mad dogs made one angry just hearing it.

If her master was a dog, what were they, the people who served him? Dog legs?

"Presumptuous!!"

Yan Lingji's voice was cold, containing endless anger.

Su Xuan smiled faintly, not caring, and continued, "Although I don't know what Tian Ze means to you, what I want to say is that if he dares to break in here, the only one who will die is him!"

"What deep hatred he carries or what great ambitions he has, I don't care. I only know that if he dares to come, I don't mind turning him into a... dead dog!"

Listening to Su Xuan's remarks, Yan Lingji's delicate body couldn't help but tremble slightly, obviously filled with burning anger, but then she returned to calm, laughing instead of getting angry. "Is that so? Then I'll wait and see!"

She also wanted to see if her master really came, whether the person before her could still be as stubborn as he was now.

Seeing Yan Lingji change her face so quickly, Su Xuan was also stunned, sighing, "Women are indeed fickle creatures!"

He said, "Seeing you like this, I suddenly changed my mind."

"How about we make a bet?"

"What bet?" Yan Lingji wanted to see what Su Xuan was going to say and couldn't help but ask with interest.

"If I defeat your master, I can spare his life, but as a price, you must serve me as your master, using your freedom to exchange for his life!"

Hearing this, Yan Lingji subconsciously wanted to refuse.

She had a thirst for freedom that ordinary people could hardly imagine.

After the battle of Baiyue, she was imprisoned and longed for freedom every moment.

Now that she had finally seen the light of day and gained freedom, how could she use her freedom as a bet?

But when the words reached her lips, she changed her mind.

"Okay, I agree to bet with you, but it sounds like I'm the one paying everything. You haven't said what price you will pay if you lose?"

Although if she lost this bet, she would have to serve Su Xuan as her master.

But Yan Lingji had an indescribable trust in her master, Tian Ze. She firmly believed that her master Tian Ze would not lose. Conversely, if that slim possibility really occurred, such as her master losing.

Using her freedom to exchange for her master's escape could be considered doing her best.

Her master carried a blood feud and must absolutely not die here.

They, the Baiyue assassins following her master, had long been prepared to sacrifice themselves for him at any time; how could they be stingy with mere freedom?

Of course, she also wanted to know what price Su Xuan was willing to pay.

Su Xuan did not think too much and gave an answer, "If I lose, I will accept your previous proposal and serve Tian Ze as my master. That is also acceptable!"

"That's what you said!" Hearing Su Xuan's words, Yan Lingji appeared a bit excited.

She seemed to have already determined that Su Xuan would become her colleague.

Although Su Xuan was currently a man of the King of Han, given the formidable strength he had shown, if he could be used by her master, there was no doubt that her master would have one more powerful assistant.

"That's what I said!"

Su Xuan replied again.

After concluding the bet, silence fell between Su Xuan and Yan Lingji.

Su Xuan continued his path of taking elixirs and cultivating.

Yan Lingji, locked in the cage, watched Su Xuan cultivate for a while, felt bored, and simply withdrew her gaze.
