Chapter 0400 – Lost Confidant – Absolute Returns

I looked up at the sky as well and said:

“In this world, what kind of good demonic father is there? They’re all assholes. She’ll understand you, and she’ll be happy when she brings you wine. Perhaps it’s best not to meet. If you had met, you would have been mad at her about the wine. You did the right thing, it would be best for her.”

The drunken devil looked at me, and he knew how precious my words were to him.

I saw his eyes, glistening with tears, and I nodded, then said:

“Let’s just find, first, the person who killed her.”

Since the Drunken Devil is certain, she didn’t commit suicide, someone, must have killed her.

“To investigate this matter, we must enter the Ice Palace.”

Drunken Devil said worriedly. I’ve already thought of a countermeasure.

“The North Sea Ice Palace, since they agreed to the request of the Northern Blood Sect, that means that between them, they must have reached some sort of agreement.”

“It should be.”

“If we help them, settle the matter of the Northern Blood Sect, they should let us, investigate this matter.”

Drunken Devil understood what I meant, I wanted to use this matter to make a deal with the Ice Palace.

“What if the murderer, has already been killed by you?”

“If I wanted to kill him, I wouldn’t have kidnapped him. I kidnapped him to save someone.”

“Do you know, where he is?”

I replied without hesitation:

“She has done something so important that she will definitely tell Silver Moon. Even if the Northern Blood Sect and the Ice Palace, can’t find her, Silver Moon must know, where she is. She should be in Silver Moon’s secret stronghold.”

I know Furuki too well. His secret location, it’s absolutely safe.

“You really do know all about your men.”

“She’s my ‘heart’, let’s go.”

The Drunken Devil and I, against the wind and snow, walked off into the distance.

“Time’s up, Northern Blood Sect, still no news.”

Li An didn’t expect that the Northern Blood Sect Sect Master, actually gave up on his son.

”Is this the jianghu? It’s so cruel.’

If it were her, she would have given everything to save her child. How could he really be so heartless?

Although he had expected it, when it really happened, Yang Zhong still felt despair. His father, in order to save the face of the Northern Blood Sect, had sacrificed his life.

‘Kill me!’

He wanted to say that, but he couldn’t. He still wanted to live.

“If you kill me, the Northern Blood Sect, will definitely avenge me.”

He is still praying for a chance to live in the wrong way.

Zhou Kui and Huang Qiu, on the other hand, did not put up any fight.

“Please, leave us alone!”

Their eyes remain tightly shut, and they long to live.

“Open your eyes too, we need to talk, now.”

Zhou Kui and Huang Qiu, finally opened their eyes. Li An had lit a lamp in the room, and they finally got a good look at her face.

They were all stunned, they didn’t realize that the person who kidnapped them was so beautiful.

‘You crazy woman! Who the hell are you?’

Zhou Kui couldn’t believe his eyes, this woman, who looked so beautiful, why would she do such a thing? She was perfectly capable of living, a happy and joyful life.

“My threats, they seem to have no effect, now, what?”

Liam walked up to them and looked at them up close. The more she looked at them, the prettier they became.

“How about I cut off your hands and give them to the Northern Blood Sect?”

Zhou Kui froze for a moment, subconsciously nodded his head, and then shook his head violently.

“Whose hand are you talking about?”

Yang Zhong looked at Zhou Kui angrily, isn’t this a knowing question? Of course it’s your hand!

“It’s useless! I’ve already given up, and it won’t help even if you cut off my hand!”

He quietly put his hand and hid it behind his back. Liam frightened him and said:

“How do you know, it won’t work? Maybe, they’ll go soft?”

Li An gripped the hilt of his sword and made a move to slash, and Yang Zhong screamed in fear:

“I told you, it won’t work!”

Liam let go of his hand.

“What then? Do I really chop off your heads and give them to the Northern Blood Sect?”

She spoke in a voice that was still gentle and melodious, but what she said was creepy.

“What’s in it for you if you do?”

“At least, I’ll feel happy.”

Yang Zhong was too scared to speak, and Zhou Kui hurriedly said:

“Then you’ll get people killed, the ones you’re trying to save.”

Liam looked at him and said:

“That can’t be helped, who let them, fall into your hands? Do you guys really want them, to make a lot of money? Don’t you?”

They certainly can’t answer that question.

“I’ve already given you guys a chance, now, it’s your turn. If you guys can’t think of a way, I’ll kill you all, take your corpses, give them to the Northern Blood Sect, and then, I’ll disappear without a trace.”

LeeAnn was scaring them because she wanted them to, of their own accord, think of something. She hoped that they could give her, some clues.

‘If it was the young master, what would he do?’

She wanted to imitate Sword Wuji, but she realized that she was still far from it.

There had to be a way, to fix this. She didn’t want to regret it in the future, she wanted to find a, perfect answer.

But she was, right now, clueless; she felt like she was, like, trapped in a maze, unable to find an exit.

“Please, let me go! I’ll beg my father to let me go!”

Zhou Kui will do anything to stay alive.

Yang Zhong stopped him and said:

“Do you think, he will listen to you?”

He ignored Zhou Kui’s suggestion and proposed a new plan.

“You go and kidnap my brother and my father, for sure, will compromise.”

Li An couldn’t believe his ears, this father and son, what a strange couple! How could he really think like this?

“Your brother is surrounded by masters, are you asking me to die?”

Yang Zhong was poked and prodded and said awkwardly:

“I’m just making a suggestion.”

“Your suggestion, no pass. Next?”

Three men, racking their brains, trying to come up with a way, to stay alive.

In fact, Li An had already thought of a countermeasure.

‘I should have negotiated with them, on other terms.’

She had to save those people.

But she knew that if she initiated the conditions, she would lose the initiative. These people, even willing to sacrifice their own sons, what else, is there that they can’t do?

”I still like it, the days when I follow the young master and don’t have to think about anything.”

Just as she was at a loss, there was a knock on the door.

Li An and the three men, all of them were startled.

Yang Zhong looked at Zhou Kui and Huang Qiu and revealed a smug smile. Zhou Kui and Huang Qiu, too, revealed joyful colors.

‘Great! We’re saved!’

‘You’re dead!’

They were secretly happy in their hearts. Zhou Kui signaled Yang Zhong with his eyes: don’t act rashly, shut up! That woman, she might kill them, and then with the people outside, fight to the death.

But he was overthinking it, Yang Zhong wanted to live just as much as they did. He didn’t even dare to breathe.

Li An drew his sword and asked:

“Who?”

A familiar voice, coming through the door:

“I’ll give you the answer.”
