With this thought in mind, he drank the tea in the cup and flew into the courtyard. He had already used his Original Soul energy to sense the surroundings. There was no one else in the courtyard except for the two of them.
How confident must they be to welcome him openly without any defenses?
He raised his eyebrows and asked Qian Jiyun in a deep voice, “You knew I would come?”
“Does it matter, Marquess Ning? You did come, didn’t you?” Qian Jiyun asked with a faint smile.
“Ha!” Marquess Ning chuckled.
He had underestimated this person. He remained so calm even after he saw him. Was he looking down on him?
In terms of Original Soul energy, the two of them together would be no match for him, right? He was very confident in this.
However, neither of them took him seriously.
He could not help but wonder if they had a backup plan that could injure him.
That’s right. He suddenly recalled that Zhan Beiye had told him about the
Cloud-Breaking Pills. What if the Cloud-Breaking Pills belonged to them?
Then there really was no reason for them to fear him. If something happened, they could just toss a Cloud-Breaking Pill. They would have a chance to escape, right?
It was a good idea, but unfortunately, he would not give them a chance to use the Cloud -Breaking Pill.
Qian Jiyun poured himself another cup of tea and sipped it slowly before asking softly, “Marquess Ning, have you come here late at night to take the lives of my wife and me?”
“Young Master, you’re exaggerating.”
Marquess Ning had no intention of killing them. After all, they were talented enough to reach this cultivation level at such a young age.
It would be ideal if he could use them, so he would not attack them casually.
However, if they continued to support Zhan Beiye, he would not hesitate to act against them. After all, who would willingly keep a formidable enemy?
“I’ll give you a chance to live. Just submit to me. I’ll give you money, power, and no less than what Zhan Beiye gave you.” “Ahem, ahem!”
An Jiuyue choked on the pastry in her mouth.
What the h.e.l.l? He wanted them to submit? Was Marquess Ning joking with them?
How could he say that? Did he really think they were Zhan Beiye’s subordinates and stood on his side for money and power? “Why did you choke? Have some tea.”
Qian Jiyun arrived beside her in a flash and brought the teacup to her mouth for her to drink.
An Jiuyue quickly took a sip of tea before catching her breath. “Your words almost choked me to death.”
She took a deep breath and looked up at Marquess Ning.
“Money? Power? Marquess Ning, you surprise me greatly. You talk like you have the entire Zhanling Empire in your pocket.
“Why? Are you the real emperor of Zhanling Empire? Is the Zhanling Emperor a mere puppet in your hands?”
Marquess Ning was furious.
Fortunately, the Zhanling Emperor was not present. Otherwise, regardless of Marquess Ning’s importance, the Emperor would have had second thoughts about him, making life difficult for him going forward.
Regardless of his capabilities, he was merely a subject. If the Zhanling Emperor wanted him dead, he couldn’t oppose him.
“Young Lady, watch your mouth!”
His eyes darkened, and the threat in his tone was evident..
