Chapter 329 I Don't Want You Anymore
Yun Hong nodded: "Then I'll go take a look?"
"I don't need you." Yun Yi shook her head, then pointed to the sky. "Nineteen has nothing to do anyway."
Nineteen seemed to have sensed Yunyi's call, and swooped down, the hurricane whipped up by its huge wings actually knocking over the person closest to Yunyi.
Yunyi patted its head; this guy was definitely doing it on purpose.
Nineteen nuzzled Yunyi's hand with her little head.
"Go ahead." Yunyi fed it a piece of meat.
Nineteen let out a cry and soared into the sky, then disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"The people from the capital have left, now let's talk about you." Yunyi looked at Guan Bai, "What do you want?"
"We'll follow you," Guan Bai quickly declared. "We'll listen to you from now on."
"Hehe." Yun Yi laughed, glancing at the large group of people who had suddenly appeared. "But now I don't want you all anymore."
"Why? Heroine, we're sincere this time. We're willing to serve you like a slave..."
"I have money, what kind of people can't I buy or hire?" Yun Yi scoffed. "I gave you a chance before, but you didn't take it. Now, I dare not accept it. What if you try something bad?"
Guan Bai frowned.
"I gave you five hundred taels before, but I don't want it anymore. Let's just exchange it for the mission."
Guan Bai's eyes widened instantly: "A mission? What mission?" This woman is a monster, incredibly powerful, why would she need someone else to do a mission?
"It means you killed the people who hired you to kill me."
"What?"
"Don't understand?" Yunyi's eyes narrowed slightly.
"I understand, I understand." Guan Bai nodded hurriedly, "But..."
“I know it’s a bit difficult for you to go to the capital. No problem, this 500 taels is a deposit. Once it’s done, I’ll give you an extra 2,000 taels.”
A collective gasp filled the air.
"How many?"
"Guan Bai, you look like you're only in your early twenties, right? How come your hearing is so bad? Do you have to repeat yourself twice?"
"No, we're just a little surprised. You mean you want 2,500 taels to issue the mission?"
"Should I answer or not?"
Guan Bai immediately exchanged glances with his men. They had to accept it.
"Since you've accepted the task, then get on with it quickly." Yun Yi stood up. "After you've completed it, go to the furniture shop in Carp Town to deliver the message and collect the money. By the way, the deadline for this task is one month. If you can't complete it within a month, you'll have to pay me double the penalty. Otherwise, I'll have to come and collect your heads myself." She then turned and left.
Zuo Ye and the other two hurriedly got up and followed.
"Old Zuo, why did you all leave too? You..."
“We belong to the young lady.” Zuo Ye nodded slightly to Guan Bai. “Naturally, we will follow the young lady.”
"What? You..."
"We came here to find the young lady," Zuo Ye explained.
Guan Bai's expression was extremely conflicted.
Yunyi ignored them and left with Yunhong, leaving Guan Bai and dozens of his brothers looking at each other, unsure of what to do.
"Master, what should we do?" One of Guan Bai's subordinates, Xiao Tian, approached him and asked. He was one of the assassins who had accompanied Guan Bai to intercept Yun Yi.
"How would I know what to do?" Guan Bai raised his hand and slapped the other person.
"Boss, you can't be unaware of this. It's only a month, time is very tight. So, since there's no other way, let's do it. If we do it well, maybe the heroine will be lenient."
"But what if we can't finish it?" someone else raised a different opinion.
"Then... I'll just have to pay you back." Guan Bai sighed.
"But boss, do we still have money to pay compensation?"
Guan Bai remained silent.
"How about we just break up now?" someone else suggested. "Anyway..."
"Old Qu, breaking up is fine, but I remember you have enemies chasing you. Are you sure you'll be alright?"
Old Qu immediately shut his mouth.
"Alright, everyone, stop arguing and let's get on with the mission. We'll take it one step at a time." Guan Bai stood up, brushed the dust off his clothes, feeling utterly stifled as the leader of the assassins.
After leaving the little white building, Yunyi and Yunhong did not immediately return to the village. Since they were out, they naturally wanted to take a stroll. However, it wasn't very pleasant to have three grown men following them.
"Why don't you three find somewhere to have some fun on your own?"
"Miss, where shall we go?" Shang Yuan asked, shrugging with a blank expression.
"Whatever. You've been in the Central Plains for five or six years now, so you should know this place very well, especially this county. Do you really need to ask me where to go for fun?"
“Well…” Song Wei suddenly hesitated for a moment, “There’s a fun place, but it costs money.”
Yunyi's brow twitched, and her expression turned somewhat strange: "The place you're talking about, it wouldn't be... a brothel?"
Yun Hong turned her head sharply to look at Yun Yi. What was this "flower girl"? And why did she still have that same tone?
Song Wei blushed, then nodded: "Yes, a lot..."
Yunyi rolled her eyes. If this weren't a fictional ancient world, she would definitely want to kick him: "You're not allowed to go."
The three of them immediately quieted down.
"There's an inn over there. You three go get a room and go to sleep." Yun Yi glanced around and pointed directly to the inn not far away. "I'll call you when I'm leaving."
The three of them didn't refuse and actually went to a hotel to sleep. As for food... Yunyi forgot, and the three of them didn't mention it either. Later, Yunyi found out that during the day and night she was gone, the three of them hadn't eaten a single bite. At that time, she didn't know whether to praise them for being obedient or call them idiots.
But that's a story for later. Now, seeing the three of them enter the inn, Yunyi led Yunhong directly to the outskirts, the place where Tianyi Temple was located before.
Ning Xingchen had mentioned that the village had suddenly disappeared that day, and she had always wanted to come and see it, but she had never had the chance. Now that she had arrived in the county town, she naturally wanted to come and take a look.
Tianyi Temple has been sealed off by the government, but unfortunately the case of the child's death has not yet been adjudicated. Although the people in the temple have been imprisoned, as long as the higher authorities do not issue a formal order for their punishment, it is unknown what will happen next.
That felt like a delaying tactic.
But that was no longer something she could control.
She came here today to see what's happening in Tianyi Village. Even though several months have passed, she still wants to see if she can find out why the village disappeared.
"Young Miss, how can a village just disappear like that?" Yun Hong frowned as she looked around, even stomping her foot on the ground, but there was nothing unusual.
