Chapter 65

He called out a greeting, then rose and took his leave.

Seeing him depart in such a frantic rush.

How could Ximen Wudi not understand that he was in a hurry to show off in front of others.

He chuckled wryly and shook his head.

He then turned his gaze to Zhao Min, who stood nearby with her acupoints sealed.

He gave a light flick of his sleeve.

Instantly.

Zhao Min, who had been rooted to the spot unable to move, instantly went limp and slumped to the ground.

She caught her breath twice.

Her gaze fixed firmly on Ximen Wudi as she sized him up.

Although her acupoints had been sealed.

She had heard every word of their conversation just now.

She naturally understood that the man before her was the legendary, elusive Great Dragon Head of the Qinglong Society—Ximen Wudi!

After observing him for a while.

Zhao Min's eyes darted about, and she forced herself up from the ground.

With a face full of contempt, she gave a cold snort and said.

"I wondered what manner of being the Great Dragon Head of the Qinglong Society might be."

"Turns out he's nothing but a lecherous ghost who lets his underlings abduct helpless women!"

"What a waste of the admiration from our fellow jianghu folk!"

The moment these words left her mouth.

The drifting sound of the qin instantly cut off.

A bone-chilling coldness flooded the entire space.

Immediately after.

Jiang Yuyan, her pretty face frosted over and killing intent gleaming in her eyes, rose and walked over.

With every step, the coldness and killing intent on her grew thicker by a fraction.

It made Zhao Min's heart jolt, every hair on her body standing on end!

Not only her—even Ximen Wudi was momentarily stunned.

Looking at her, whose expression and bearing were just like the blackened Jiang Yuyan from the original work.

His face couldn't help but look utterly bewildered.

What is going on??

One second she was timid and obedient, the next she's like a completely different person!

Even a transformation isn't that fast, is it??!

Just as his brow furrowed slightly and he fell into thought.

At this moment, Jiang Yuyan had already walked up before Zhao Min.

Slap!

The sound of a slap rang out.

Zhao Min cried out in pain, clutching her cheek in shock.

She stared at Jiang Yuyan in disbelief.

Apparently not having expected her to strike outright.

"Say one more careless word, and I'll slash that pretty little face of yours, sever the tendons in your hands and feet! I'll make you unable to live and unable to die!!"

Meeting her gaze.

Jiang Yuyan forced the words out through clenched teeth, one syllable at a time.

The murderous aura in her pupils utterly undisguised.

Apparently frightened by that fierce gaze of hers.

Zhao Min instinctively shivered and quickly lowered her head, not daring to meet her eyes.

Her heart, moreover, began to pound furiously!

Her intuition told her.

If she said one more careless word.

The other party truly would dare to do it!

Seeing her fall silent, Jiang Yuyan gave a heavy snort.

Then her delicate frame trembled.

The aura about her body changed once again.

She returned to her former timid and obedient appearance.

In her eyes, there was still a trace of bewilderment.

Seeing this.

Ximen Wudi, who had still been somewhat bewildered, suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

This....

Isn't this freaking Long Kui from Chinese Paladin??!!

You can play it like this??

At this thought.

Even he, who was usually as calm as a still ancient well.

Could not help feeling a little stunned and speechless at this moment.

"Young Master, I... I just...."

As if recalling the scene from a moment ago.

Jiang Yuyan's face shifted slightly, her eyes filled with anxiety.

In her heart, she worried even more that she might displease the Young Master because of this.

"It's nothing."

He saw through her unease at a glance.

Ximen Wudi smiled lightly and patted her head.

Then he turned to look at Zhao Min.

With an indifferent expression, he spoke.

"Put away those little schemes of yours!"

"From today onward, you are this seat's maid!"

Although Zhao Min's words had been interrupted by Jiang Yuyan.

How could he possibly fail to see through her little schemes?

It was nothing more than glib talk and flattery.

For others, that trick might work.

But for him, what did other people's adulation have to do with him?!

What fame, what pride of a master — in his eyes, it was utterly worthless!

Hearing these words.

Zhao Min was instantly dumbfounded.

Anxious in her heart, she hurriedly spoke: "You...."

Unfortunately.

She had only uttered one word before Ximen Wudi ruthlessly waved his hand and cut her off.

His eyes stared at her coldly.

"Call me Master!"

Hearing this tone that brooked no refusal.

Looking at his icy gaze.

Zhao Min was stupefied.

Her heart could not help but fill with despair.
