Chapter 418: Seven million credited to the account

"Ptui!" Qi Yue had intended to provoke Leng Xuan, but didn’t expect him not to take the bait. Unable to restrain herself, she cursed, "Ambushing someone from behind, do you still have the nerve to call yourself a good man? Hmph! Shameless!"

Touching his nose, Leng Xuan thought to himself that this girl was quite feisty. Just as he was about to speak, suddenly, "ding," a text message notification sounded from his phone. He took it out and saw it was a message about a successful money transfer; the seven million had already arrived in his China Construction Bank account.

"Heh," he chuckled. Leng Xuan hadn’t expected the other party’s efficiency to be so high, quite impressive indeed. With a thought, he turned to look at Qi Yue and said with a laugh, "Do you really want to measure yourself against me?"

"Nonsense." Qi Yue was unaware that Leng Xuan had already received the text message about the money transfer. Hearing what Leng Xuan said, she thought he had been provoked. She couldn’t help but feel delighted, thinking as long as this guy in front of her would release her acupuncture points, she would kill him right away, then call Uncle Guan to tell him not to wire the money. In this way, not only could she save the seven million yuan, but she could also salvage her lost face and not be too embarrassed to face others when she returned. With these thoughts in mind, and worried that Leng Xuan might retract his offer, she continued to mock him while the iron was hot, "Of course, if you’re afraid you’re no match for me, I have nothing to say. You can just admit it directly."

Leng Xuan was inwardly amused. This girl had True Qi fluctuations in her body, but she showed no abnormal reaction to the Soul-devouring Needle, which clearly indicated that she probably hadn’t even reached the Foundation Establishment Stage, the first major realm of the Eleven Realms of Cultivation. Meanwhile, he was already a master at the third major realm, the Fusion Stage. Dealing with a Cultivation novice who hadn’t even reached the Foundation Establishment was like child’s play, akin to playing with a three-year-old child. Right then he said, "I can give you a chance to compete, but we have to make a bet."

"A bet?" Qi Yue looked at Leng Xuan with suspicion, wondering what trick this guy was up to. But after a moment’s thought, since he was already a dead man in her eyes, what was there to fear from him? She snorted and said, "Fine. I’ll take your bet. But what you want to bet?"

Leng Xuan said, "It’s nothing much. If I lose, my life is yours. If you lose..."

Qi Yue didn’t wait for Leng Xuan to finish and interjected with a cold laugh, "Then my life is yours to take."

Leng Xuan shook his head and said, "Your life is worth nothing to me. I just want to know who it was that hired you to kill me!"

Qi Yue frowned slightly, hesitating. This touched on a matter of principle for an assassin. If she agreed, she wouldn’t be considered a qualified assassin anymore.

Seeing that the girl had fallen silent, Leng Xuan felt somewhat disappointed. However, knowing that she was an assassin and would likely face severe punishment from her organization if she betrayed her employer’s identity, he figured she certainly wouldn’t agree to his terms. With that in mind, he inwardly sighed and, deciding not to trouble her further, patted her a few times, releasing her and saying indifferently, "Alright, if you’re too scared to bet, let’s just forget it. Your acupuncture points are unblocked. You can go now, but don’t cross paths with me again; otherwise, I won’t be courteous!"

Qi Yue hadn’t expected Leng Xuan to let her go so easily. She was stunned for a moment. After getting up from the ground, she couldn’t help but give Leng Xuan a resentful glare, saying, "Humph, you think I’ll just walk away like this?"
