Chapter 104: Shocked and Saved

However, Liefeng would never act so friendly around someone other than their boss. If Liefeng were a human, it was basically trying to buy favors with Lin Yuelan.

They couldn’t bear to see Liefeng like this.

They were curious. Did Liefeng really get Lin Yuelan to come over to save them?

There were holes all over Guo Bing’s body. He looked like he was seriously injured, but none of his internal organs were harmed. He had just lost too much blood, which made him look very weak and pale as if he would faint at any time.

However, at this moment, his curiosity had taken over.

Guo Bing said, “Hey, miss, you said at the beginning that Liefeng brought you here. Is that true?”

Lin Yuelan rolled her eyes at him and asked, “What do you think?”

Wasn’t it obvious? If it weren’t for Liefeng, she didn’t want to be a busybody. She liked Liefeng a lot, and she had a good impression of the masked uncle who she had only met once. Besides, the masked uncle was the country’s War God. With him around, Long Yan Country would be safe and wouldn’t be invaded by other countries. So, it was reasonable for her to do this.

However, she knew that since she had saved the general, she would be involvedin the vortex of power struggle sooner or later.

Therefore, before that day came, she had to make herself stronger as soon as possible. Unless it was necessary, she really did not want to kill everyone in the world.

Then, she said to Liefeng, “Liefeng, I’ve already done what I promised you. Shouldn’t you be coming with me now?”

Guo Bing and the other two were stunned. What did she mean? She agreed to come to save them, but the condition was that Liefeng had to go with her? So, their lives were not worth as much as a horse?

That was demoralizing.

Liefeng heard this and turned its head. Its eyes were a little sad, and it was reluctant to leave its master, Jiang Zhennan.

It licked Jiang Zhennan’s palm. Then, its head rubbed against Jiang Zhennan’s head as if it was saying goodbye to a brother.

Jiang Zhennan raised his hand with great effort and touched its head. “Liefeng, thank you!”

None of them had ever thought that the child they had only met once would be so powerful that she could kill the assassins who had surrounded them in an instant. None of them could do that even if they weren’t poisoned. So who was this young woman?

Jiang Zhennan became even more curious about the young woman’s identity. Could it be that her master was an otherworldly master and lived in seclusion in the mountains where they met?

Lin Yuelan said to Jiang Zhennan, “I’ll tell you the truth, masked uncle. When Liefeng first came to find me, I was not willing to help even if I could save all of you effortlessly.

“I’m too afraid of trouble.

“You should know what kind of trouble I’ll get into if I save you, so I rejected Liefeng.” Lin Yuelan was very direct. She really didn’t want trouble.

She didn’t want trouble, so she didn’t want to save anyone.

Jiang Zhennan, of course, understood what she meant. She’d be drawn into the power struggle at the capital. After all, she’d be saving the War God of Long Yan Country. Her action would affect the interests of everyone in the Imperial court.

As long as he, Jiang Zhennan, was still alive, those people would find out who had saved him sooner or later.

“However, Liefeng is eager to protect his master. Upon hearing my rejection, it knelt down to me. Jiang Zhennan, you really have a good partner.” A good partner who would not betray him, just like her and Little Green.

Lin Yuelan continued, “I was touched by Liefeng’s loyalty, so I agreed to come and save you. But I’m also a very realistic person. I may be touched, but I have to gain something in return for saving so many people.”

“So, you forced Liefeng to leave the boss and follow you, right?” Little three questioned Lin Yuelan with righteous indignation. “You’re taking advantage of us!”

Lin Yuelan didn’t answer him, but asked, “How old are you?”

Little three had never talked to a girl. This was the second time, but the first time, Lin Yuelan was dressed as a boy. So he was not shy at all back then.
