Feng Yulin did not think much of it at first, but when he saw Ling Jue's expression, his ears turned slightly red. He pretended to be calm and coughed twice before he said coldly, "I can't let you cut me."
After he said that, he pulled the blanket over and walked into the bathroom.
Ling Jue took a deep breath. She took her dagger and could not help but touch his towel. Her heart was racing again, and she could not help but use the dagger that could cut through iron like mud to turn the towel into pieces.
She let Tang Yuan out and asked it to find a way to open this place.
"Eh, Lord Jue, you mean that handsome young man has locked you up?" Tang Yuan rubbed its chin with one of its paws, looking like it was deep in thought.
Ling Jue pried the glass with the dagger for a while, but she did not move an inch. No! She could not be angry! She maintained her smile.
Creak...
Feng Yulin walked out dressed neatly. He was no longer as embarrassed as he was before. He was as cold as the Feng Yulin that Ling Jue knew. He sized him up and sneered, "You want to leave?"
"Tell me, why are you locking me up?" Ling Jue held back her anger. This was the first time she had suffered such a setback!
Being locked up by him meant that she could neither kill him nor leave the house.
The bloody lesson taught her that it was better for her to stay far away from some people!
Feng Yulin tugged at his sleeves and asked coldly, "Why do you want to kill me?"
"What do you think?"
"Because I know you have a superpower?" Feng Yulin sat down across from her and asked in a deep voice, "Do you want to make a deal?"
Ling Jue played with the dagger in her hand and crossed her legs. "I'm not interested."
"You can do whatever you want in Yunhai province. What do you think?" Feng Yulin poured her a glass of water and offered her an olive branch.
Ling Jue's eyes moved slightly, and the corners of her lips curled up. "Let's talk about the deal."
"Lord Jue, can we pretend to hesitate for a while before we agree? You have no moral integrity." Tang Yuan poked her face. If its hands were long enough, it would definitely pinch and pull her cheeks.
Feng Yulin took out a cigarette and handed it to her. "Help me find something."
Ling Jue rejected his cigarette and said coldly, "I'm still a teenager. Please don't pass me a cigarette. Also, I'm still growing. Don't smoke in front of me."
"..." Feng Yulin raised his eyebrows slightly. It was his first time handing someone a cigarette, and was rejected. It was a very unpleasant feeling.
"What are you looking for?" Ling Jue was very interested in what Feng Yulin needed. "It can't be some treasure, right?"
Could it be a palace that hid gold?
Or a mysterious thing like the city in the sky?
"A letter." Feng Yulin put down his cigarette and took out his phone to look for something.
Ling Jue frowned. A letter? "Are you kidding me?"
"This isn't an ordinary letter. " He handed the photo to her. "This... This letter is carved into a stone, and this stone is useful to me."
"This is it?" Ling Jue took the phone and looked at the picture on it. It looked like a piece of marble. Other than the letter that he said was inside, she felt that it was no different from the marble that was used as a stepping stone in front of her house.
"Okay." Feng Yulin wanted to smoke again, but he stopped himself. He took the phone. "As long as you help me find it, I can give you whatever you want."
Ling Jue continued, "Including cutting you?"
"Yes." Feng Yulin nodded.
"..." Ling Jue blinked. This deal seemed to work.
"Lord Jue, don't take it," Tang Yuan stopped her immediately and said softly, "Have you forgotten what kind of restrictions this handsome young man knows? Why would he need your help?"
