"Ru Yi, I"m glad you"re safe!"It was not long before Chang Miao arrived. Without thinking much ahead, she embraced Guan Ru Yi within her arms. It was a quite surprising scene, for the usually composed Chang Miao to do so, she must be worried sick. After all, the woman called Min Zhi Yi has always stood by her side since she was little.
"Thank heaven!" Followed by Guan Ru Na from behind who breathed a sigh of relief after she saw that her sister was fine. "I thought we would not make after we went far ahead only to realise that it was in the other direction."
"Young Lady Min, and sister, I"m sorry for worrying you so much." Guan Ru Yi quickly bowed down. "As the servant of the Min, It is unforgivable for me to fail my duty..."
"Wha... What the heck are you saying!? It"s not Young Lady, it"s Chang Miao! And, please watch your mouth, Ru Yi, do not easily give out our information."
Guan Ru Na quickly whispered to her sister considering that Fei Bao Xing was nearby.
Chang Miao face darkened while her eyes were focused on Fei Bao Xing. Guan Ru Yi"s mistake just now was quite fatal as it was loud enough for him to hear. If left alone, it would only make them more suspicious. Perhaps, she should move forward her plan and kill him sooner.
As Chang Miao was considering what to do with Fei Bao Xing, Guan Ru Yi quickly explained.
"It"s all right, we can trust Fei Bao Xing..."
"Ehhhh..."
***
"What did you just say... He defeated Toxic Swamp Goby."
Chang Miao eyes widened, the shock has seeped through down her bones. Inadvertently, she stared down at the man in question.
In the meantime, Fei Bao Xing was yet again left out of the group conversation. But, he knew it was not the time to interrupt, so he simply sat down on the gra.s.s while throwing stones at the swamp.
Being stared down hard by Chang Miao, the man in question could not help but felt uncomfortable. There"s a lot of things he wanted to explain, but can"t because of his circ.u.mstances. In the end, he could only reply with an awkward smile.
Chang Miao quickly turns her head back into the girls as she was embarra.s.sed that her eyes met with him. But Most importantly, she was furious at Fei Bao Xing that her other emotions were nothing compared.
The very fact that Fei Bao Xing hides his strength very well that she did not notice. Not only that he made himself looked like a fool, by walking slow, pretending can"t see earlier, and not joining the hunt. Moreover, if Fei Bao Xing has such a ma.s.sive strength and ability, there"s no way to not notice the girls were in the room last night. That means he purposely sleep in the same room as her even though he knew.
With such thought in mind, Chang Miao felt even more disgusted toward Fei Bao Xing. Although Guan Ru Yi meant the opposite, it seemed it did not work even the slightest bit.
"That"s why we should change our plan." Guan Ru Yi said. "Would it not be better to be friendly and earn his trust rather than fight? We can"t win against him anyway. Furthermore, Fei Bao Xing is kind and ha... hands..."
"Hands... What?" asked Guan Ru Na.
"Ah... I mean nice. Yes... He"s a nice guy!"
"Hmmm... I see..."
Guan Ru Yi breathed a sigh of relief. She almost blurted out handsome. If Young Lady Min and her sister knew she has feeling toward Fei Bao Xing, she could die of embarra.s.sment.
[My sister definitely has fallen for him.] thought Guan Run Na.
As far as she can see, Fei Bao Xing was a good catch. He got the looks, and his strength and ability were probably one of the tops. Although he was kind of a pervert and a was awkward around girls, it can be fixed.
[Perhaps I should help my sister earn her affection. But to think my rude and cruel sister would get a boyfriend before me. Anyway, I wonder how should bring the two together. Since Fei Bao Xing is still in training to be a disciple of Silver Hands Owl, definitely a... Wait, Silver Hands Owl!!]
Guan Ru Na quickly shook her head as her face went pale.
[How could I forget? No matter how talented, in the end, Fei Bao Xing is a member of Silver Hands Owl. Every single one of them was nothing more than thieves and a.s.sa.s.sins. And I"m trying to hook up my sister with the existence that we despised... No, I would not let it happen!]
"Fei Bao Xing is a dangerous existence. Unlike us whose here to infiltrate the Silver Hands Owl, he"s trying to become a member for real. The moment we show our back, he will betray us in a flash." Guan Ru Na quickly said. "There"s no here to trust. Young Lady Min, I suggest we kill him right away."
"Ru Na is right..." Chang Miao said. "Although we can"t eliminate him now. At some point, we have to. Better to follow our initial plan and kill him once we reach sixty points."
Guan Ru Na has a point, with everything they have gone through, it would be hard to trust anyone at this point. The only ally is just the three of them. They would not give a chance for someone to betray them again.
"No... Fei Bao Xing will never betray us..."
Guan Ru Yi became fl.u.s.tered. She never thought her proposal would be rejected and opposed by her own sister like that.
"Ru Yi, please don"t say anything without any reason at all." Guan Ru Na said in a somewhat harsh tone. "On what basis, do you think he would not betray us? Don"t you remember what happened years ago?"
Guan Ru Yi, "But..."
"Then, it"s decided." Guan Ru Na said. "Without any guarantee, we will..."
"I guarantee it!" Guan Ru Yi yelled.
"Ehhh..."
"I, Min Zhi Yi guarantee with my life! So... Please, Young Lady Min, don"t try to kill him..." said Guan Ru Yi with tears fell off at the edge of her eyes. "Please put your trust in me! "
Both Chang Miao and Guan Ru Na were shocked. They never saw Guan Ru Yi pour out such overwhelming emotions before, at least not since that last incident.
"Alright..." said Chang Miao. "If Ru Yi... I mean Zhi Yi trusts him, then I will too. But, if he tried to do anything funny, then we will go back to our original plan."
"Thank you so much, Young Lady Min. He will not let you down!"
[Zhi Yi... You"re willing to risk your life for love...] Guan Ru Na was not able to say anything, but her heart shook so much because of her sister. [No! She is a girl who easily blinded by love! As a sister, I will prove her wrong and show that Fei Bao Xing is one of those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds we tried to kill.]
"Fei Bao Xing, sorry to keep you waiting." Chang Miao said. "Let"s work together from now on. Please help us to continue to find more keys."
"Ah... Yes, you can count on me!"
"Now, Let"s go!"
Then, they turned around and headed back to the forest. But only the three girls were moving their feet. Chang Miao noticed that and asked, "What"s wrong? Why aren"t you moving?"
"Ummmm... It"s dark in there, I can"t see." Fei Bao Xing said indicating that unlike here because of the glowing swamp, he won"t be able to see anything in the forest.
"Huh... But, we already know you"re strong. There"s no point in hiding it from us anymore..." Chang Miao said. There"s no way someone who could defeat the Toxic Swamp Goby was weak enough not to train his eye to see in the darkness. So, the previous charade must be an act to fool them into thinking he"s incompetent.
"Ehhh... Ummm... I didn"t train my eyes, so..."
Chang Miao twitched her eyes. [Is this person strong or weak? I don"t get it...]
Meanwhile, Guan Ru Yi made a bashful smile. With this chance, she will be able to hold hands with Fei Bao Xing again. She embarra.s.sedly extends her hands, "I guess there"s no choice, make sure you hold my hand tightly... Ehh..."
Before she realised it, her sister, Guan Ru Na already took Fei Bao Xing"s hand.
"I will look after you this time." Guan Ru Na said. "You better not try anything with my sister or Young Lady Min!"
[Fei Bao Xing... I will expose you for what you really are!]
