Chapter 1040 – Everyone assembled (4)

　　“No wonder Li Yaoyao didn’t say that she wouldn’t go to Xian’s Wood Residence.” Su Luo laughed faintly, “If she knew that this time, going to Xian’s Wood Residence was to find the Scarlet Blood Ningpo Figwort for me, she probably wouldn’t even lift her head before leaving.”

　　“It doesn’t matter even if she left.” Nangong Liuyun said with a ghost of a smile.

　　“Why?” Su Luo and the other two curiously asked.

　　Nangong Liuyun smiled mysteriously, but did not say anything revealing.

　　“That’s right, how did you guys end up battling the Snow Lion?”

　　Mentioning this, Zi Yan got really gloomy, she said in a tangled manner: “Don’t know which bastard injured the Snow Lion, the result being that we were walking along the road minding our business, and suddenly, it attacked us! Hmph, if I were to find out which bastard implicated us in his trouble, see if I wouldn’t skin him alive!”

　　The more Zi Yan talked, the angrier she got, with her eyes wide open in a glare. This time, they simply met this disaster by chance, it had nothing to do with them!

　　Su Luo looked at her, then she looked at Nangong Liuyun who was frowning, and with a ‘pfft’ sound, she laughed out loud.

　　Benchen Ying unhappily hit Zi Yan: “The opponent could hurt the Snow Lion, clearly, he was very strong, you think you can beat him?”

　　With this short sentence, immediately Zi Yan was choked off ruthlessly.

　　Zi Yan stared back with an imposing manner: “I’m no match, but our sect has Third Senior Brother! Third Senior Brother, you will help avenge me, right?”

　　The last part of the sentence, Zi Yan said in a flattering manner, with her face lifted towards Nangong Liuyun.

　　Su Luo originally didn’t want to stimulate Zi Yan, but finally, she still couldn’t stand by and idly watch. She smilingly told the actual facts: “Do you think your Third Senior Brother would skin himself?”

　　“How is this possible….” Having said the sentence halfway through, Zi Yan’s expression suddenly froze, as if her throat was being pinched by someone. No matter what, she couldn’t finish the later half of the sentence.

　　“Third, Third, Third Senior Brother… that Snow Lion was you, you, you…”

　　Look at our Miss Zi Yan being scared to such a degree.

　　Nangong Liuyun’s gaze was clear and biting, his deeply cold phoenix eyes were narrowed halfway, he looked at Zi Yan with a strange evilness in his eyes, and lifted up an eyebrow with a smirk.

　　“Ah…. Ha ha ha, this is such a coincidence! If it weren’t for me and Little Shadow passing by and stopping this wounded Snow Lion. If it had escaped back to its community to complain, then it would have been difficult to deal with later!”

　　You couldn’t say that Zi Yan’s reaction wasn’t fast.

　　She forced out two shallow laughs, directly reversed her stance and portrayed herself as a minister having done an outstanding service.

　　But what she said wasn’t wrong, if they had let the Snow Lion run back to its community, this would have become a big problem.

　　Nangong Liuyun gazed at her indifferently, a trace of sinisterness came through his eyes, and he said faintly: “Such a good plan was all ruined by you guys.”

　　“Oh?” Zi Yan was suddenly confused.

　　She looked at her little companion: “Little Shadow, what does Third Senior Brother mean?”

　　Why was it that she couldn’t understand it?

　　Beichen Ying thoughtfully glanced at Nangong Liuyun, and asked: “Let the tiger return to the mountains, could it be…like the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the danger behind it?”

　　“Not so stupid after all.” Nangong Liuyun’s voice was as cold as the ice in a deep pool, piercing through the bones. He heavily snorted. “If you let the people escape, then both of you guys should slit your throats in apology.”

　　Zi Yan became even more confused, with a perplexed expression painted over her entire face. She stealthily pulled at Beichen Ying’s sleeve: “I know every word Third Senior Brother said, but put it together, I really can’t understand their meaning.”

　　Beichen Yin smiled bitterly and shook his head: “Keep quiet, we nearly messed up something huge.”

　　Just now having considered herself a minister that had performed a great service, Zi Yan could only look to Su Luo for help. Those two people’s faces were both enigmatic, making her look like a complete idiot.

　　At first, Su Luo also didn’t understand it, but after she heard Beichen Ying’s words, she suddenly realized its meaning.
