Ye Xiu Luo.
Murong Ming Yuan!
Upon seeing the girl with the black butterfly mask on her face, the nurse's pupils constricted abruptly.
Jessica, all the way in England, was able to learn of Kahn's crippling within the shortest possible time because this woman, disguised as a nurse, was the first to report the news.
This woman had been secretly monitoring Kahn's every move for the past four years since Kahn arrived in the Eastern Lands.
But she never expected—
That when she, disguised as a nurse, came to deal with Kahn at two in the morning, Murong Ming Yuan had already arranged for someone to lie in wait.
"How could she have known I would come tonight?"
The woman wanted to know the answer.
But she did not dare to ask Murong Ming Yuan this question.
Because she knew very well that she had to end her own life before being captured alive!
If she didn't end her own life, she had no confidence she could withstand Murong Ming Yuan's torture.
Once she couldn't keep her secret—
Then her family back home would all be called to God.
She suddenly opened her mouth—
"Not good!"
Li San Tiao, who had just shot and shattered the woman's wrist, saw her suddenly open her mouth and immediately realized what she was about to do. He let out a low growl and lunged forward.
Li San Tiao's lunge was fast!
But it wasn't as fast as the woman biting open the poison capsule hidden in her back molar.
Instant death upon swallowing!!
(When a deadly guard was on a mission, they would place a poison capsule in their mouth. They wouldn't carry one otherwise.)
Looking at the woman who went limp and fell to the ground, even as Li San Tiao grabbed her chin, Murong Ming Yuan, standing at the doorway, her gaze remained as cold as ever, without the slightest flicker.
When a woman failed her mission, she would die!
This seemed to have been within her expectations.
"Dead is dead, then."
Murong Ming Yuan said faintly, stepping into the ward. She looked at Kahn, whose face had become even paler, and who was now hurriedly sitting up, and asked, "Do you still remember what I said to you when I chopped off your left hand?"
Kahn, having narrowly escaped death, trembled and slowly nodded.
When Murong Ming Yuan personally led people to chop off Kahn's left hand, she had asked him a question: "Who sent you to the Eastern Lands to pursue Yang Zi Ye?"
Kahn, of course, would answer that no one had sent him to pursue Yang Zi Ye.
Murong Ming Yuan did not believe him.
If Kahn hadn't been instructed by someone to pursue Zi Ye, the little princess, why would that demonic man (Li Qian Fan) have ordered her to chop off Kahn's hand for no reason?
Murong Ming Yuan did not know.
Li Qian Fan ordered her to cripple Kahn purely to help Ding Xiao Lang.
He had no other intentions whatsoever, and certainly did not want Murong Ming Yuan to interrogate Kahn about who sent him.
Because in Li Qian Fan's eyes, Kahn was just a pitiable unlucky fellow. "Who else could you have pursued, but you had to go after the granddaughter of the great demon Yang, who regards everyone outside the Eastern Lands as barbarians! Isn't this asking for trouble?"
Li Qian Fan also knew.
That Yang Da Mo Tou's actions were a warning to all his granddaughters who possessed "pure Eastern bloodlines"!
Apart from that, there was no other meaning.
Kahn was simply an unlucky child.
But Murong Ming Yuan did not believe it.
Even if Li Qian Fan had not ordered her to inquire about why Kahn was pursuing Zi Ye, Murong Ming Yuan still wanted to find out.
Kahn, whose left hand had been chopped off, would rather die than betray his "great master."
One.
Betraying the great master would lead to a tragic end.
Two.
Ding Xiao Lang had made it very clear that he could leave the Eastern Lands before noon the next day.
Kahn's left hand had already been crippled, so there was no need for him to betray his master when he could leave the Eastern Lands.
However, Murong Ming Yuan analyzed from her own perspective: "Your mission has failed. Your master will never let you go. He might even send someone to kill you tonight."
Kahn did not believe it!!!
And the result?
Kahn looked at the woman who had poisoned herself on the ground, then at Murong Ming Yuan with her cold eyes, and trembled, nodding forcefully.
To indicate that he remembered what Murong Ming Yuan had said to him.
Murong Ming Yuan asked again, "So, do you want to die, or do you want to live?"
Did Kahn want to die, or did he want to live?
This question—
Kahn suddenly, ignoring the intense pain in his left hand, flipped off the ground and knelt heavily at Murong Ming Yuan's feet.
The fact that his great master had sent someone to assassinate him caused Kahn's faith to completely collapse.
He kissed the tip of Murong Ming Yuan's foot and said in a hoarse voice, "From now on, you are my master!"
Murong Ming Yuan's master was Li Qian Fan, yet she was Kahn's master.
So, the question is: "What is the relationship between Kahn and Li Qian Fan?"
"You want to live?"
Murong Ming Yuan looked down at Kahn, her eyes bright.
Those who are not servants can never feel what it's like to have servants themselves.
Of course.
There were still big differences between servants and servants.
In Murong Ming Yuan's eyes, Kahn, this servant, was just a dog!
Kahn's greatest authority granted by his master was the privilege to kiss her feet.
But Murong Ming Yuan, "Li Qian Fan's servant," possessed the "privilege" of being ridden by her master at any time.
"I want to live! I have received extensive professional training (except for martial arts), and I can do many things for you, my master!"
Facing the threat of death, Kahn gave up on everything else and began to praise himself.
Li Jiu Wan brought Murong Ming Yuan a chair.
Murong Ming Yuan gracefully sat down.
After crossing her legs, her exquisite little boots dangled casually in front of Kahn as she listened to his self-praise.
She was currently in urgent need of many talented individuals (especially those absolutely loyal to her) to help her conquer the world.
Kahn, who was outstanding in all aspects, was targeted by Murong Ming Yuan!
After a full ten minutes, Kahn finally stopped his self-promotion.
However, Murong Ming Yuan had not heard the confession she most wanted to hear.
She asked coldly, "Who is the person who sent you to approach Yang Zi Ye, that is, your great master? And where is he from?"
He didn't know.
Kahn truly didn't know!
He only knew that the great master had pulled him out of hell and provided him with the most superior environment.
But he had never met the great master.
He didn't even know what the great master did! Kuai Shu Ge.
Kahn was sent to the Eastern Lands by a special person who arranged everything for him and conveyed the master's tasks.
The great master did this, of course, to prevent elites like Kahn from betraying the master if they failed their mission.
Of course.
If Kahn succeeded in his mission (marrying Yang Zi Ye and becoming Li's son-in-law), he would be personally summoned by the great master.
He would become the master's true confidant and know many things he had never known before.
Murong Ming Yuan was somewhat disappointed—
She could see that Kahn genuinely didn't know who was controlling him.
But no matter what.
Murong Ming Yuan believed that for Kahn to survive, he had to be completely devoted to her!
Otherwise, he would be eliminated by his "former master" at any moment.
"Alright. To ensure your safety, we will leave the hospital tonight. After you have recovered, I will arrange your specific duties."
Murong Ming Yuan stood up and ordered Li San Tiao, "Dispose of the body (the woman's), and let's go."
Li San Tiao nodded.
Kahn quickly got up from the ground.
He looked at his new master, whose figure was gracefully moving, with the most respectful gaze as she quickly walked out of the ward.
Li San Tiao, who had once chopped off his left hand, patted his shoulder with a smile that said, "We're all on the same side now." "Brother, work hard. After all, losing an arm is much better than losing your head."
These were words of gold—
At five in the morning.
The sky in this season was still illuminated by the bright moon.
But Li Qian Fan sat up with a yawn, moved one of Su Yu Jie's long legs away from his waist, and quietly got out of bed.
When his sister came to visit his brother and sister-in-law, the sister-in-law had to perform well!
At the very least, she should get up early and make a hearty breakfast for her sister-in-law with her own hands, right?
But Su Yu Jie's cooking skills—
How to put it?
Having Su Yu Jie cook in the kitchen was worse than her making roujiamo for her young grass in the bedroom!
Last night, under Li Qian Fan's persistent entreaties, Su Yu Jie finally shyly fulfilled his small wish.
Roujiamo—
"Ru Hua's description is too vivid. Sister Yu's skin is too thick; she actually knows this kind of play. On the other hand, I am so pure in thought. Besides carrying feet, I am also being carried on my back. Alas."
With a happy sigh, Li Qian Fan went into the bathroom.
After a full hour, Li Qian Fan, who had been "handling things with care" in the kitchen, finally made a hearty breakfast.
He glanced at the closed doors of the master bedroom and guest room, and Li Qian Fan tiptoed back to the second bedroom.
At Li's strong request, Su Yu Jie, who could only agree to wear silk when resting at night, was still hugging her pillow and sleeping soundly.
"Wife, it's your turn to cook."
Li Qian Fan's fingers gently tickled the sole of a black silk foot, and he whispered, "In half an hour at most, Zi Ye will be up."
Let me sleep a little longer—
Just as Su Yu Jie was about to say this, she suddenly woke up.
She had to cook for her sister-in-law!
All sleepiness gone, Su Yu Jie kicked away the young grass and got out of bed.
After washing up and changing into her loungewear, Su Yu Jie peered out from the doorway of the second bedroom like a little mouse, and only after confirming that there was no one in the living room did she walk along the wall into the kitchen.
Soon.
The sounds of "cooking" came from the kitchen.
With a creak—
Hearing the kitchen door open, Su Yu Jie, who had just "finished" the last dish of breakfast, looked back.
Yang Zi Ye, wearing her bathrobe, also peeked out from the door like a little mouse.
The "refrigerator face" of Su Yu Jie immediately showed the most virtuous smile: "Zi Ye, why are you awake so early?"
"Sister-in-law, you got up early and made this specifically for me?"
Yang Zi Ye walked in, staring at the abundant breakfast, her face full of disbelief.
Su Yu Jie's expression was serene: "Yes. I hope the breakfast I made suits your taste."
"Ah—"
Yang Zi Ye picked up a potsticker and devoured it like a commoner, exclaiming in surprise, "Sister-in-law, your cooking is simply amazing! You're beautiful and a good cook too! What incredible luck did Li Qian Fan have to find you in the vast sea of people!"
"My cooking skills are actually just so-so."
Su Yu Jie said humbly, looking down at her beautiful feet, and said, "It's just practice makes perfect."
