The person next to him looked quite presentable, but unfortunately, ambition was mixed with a facade of humanity.
More hypocritical than someone else.
The Black-Clad Thief shot an annoyed glance at Jiang Linchuan beside him, thinking to himself.
At that moment, Jade Bridge Kengdu sensed three gazes on him and turned in surprise, only to meet a cold stare.
In the ordinary-looking girl's dark pupils, flickering flames danced ominously, resembling a ferocious beast that could tear his throat apart in the blink of an eye, sending a chill down his spine.
For a fleeting moment of dazedness, a sense of familiarity vaguely surfaced.
He frowned slightly, instinctively raising his sword to block in front of him.
The evident hostility from the three was unmistakable—no, it was more like murderous intent—that made him instinctively want to defend himself.
Qin Huai observed the obviously troubled girl before him with curiosity. The usually calm and composed person had never shown such emotional turbulence. The reason for this was undoubtedly the hatred gleaming in her eyes, which was definitely not the kind of infatuation he might have imagined; it felt more like deep-seated enmity.
However, after racking his brain for all the information he had, he couldn't find any grudge between her and Luo Ran Residence's Elite Team Leader. The two had no connection whatsoever. If there were any grievances, it should be Jade Bridge Kengdu who felt wronged, considering that the girl had once stolen their BSS in the novice village, leaving them with nothing.
Could there be some other secret hidden that he was unaware of?
The doubts in his heart grew larger and larger.
At that moment, the Crimson Crowd began to disperse around them, slowly surrounding Yan Yan and her team.
Crimson Dusk stepped out from the crowd with his sword drawn and declared, "Bloodshed cleanses old grudges; unrelated persons please leave."
This statement was clearly directed at Jiang Linchuan and Jinchuan.
Regardless, he still felt apprehensive about the alliance between the Newbie Alliance and the Chuan Chuan Guild.
After some observation, it seemed that Jiang Linchuan was merely appearing as Silent's friend, with no sign of East Wind Arrives lurking behind him.
Hmph, he must turn the tide in this round; failure is not an option!
On the other side, Big Fish Eats Fish wore a fierce expression as he stared at the girl in front of him.
"Jade Bridge, take your people around to clear the area. We need to settle this score! That Girl actually dared to snatch meat from my mouth; she must be tired of living!"
"Boss, let the Brothers experience what it's like to be Lun Bai for a change!"
The Neighbor Is a Gay Man chuckled sinisterly. He had missed his chance with that Alchemist Lun Bai before, but this time, he absolutely could not let it slip away. The thrill of such slaughter was truly exhilarating!
The madness in his eyes made Troublesome Fairy and the others feel uneasy.
"Be careful not to face that pervert—"
"Yeah, I’ll be cautious. Let Big Boss handle the pervert~"
She stole a glance at the imposing Cold Noodle Girl, stuck out her tongue, and whispered quietly.
Troublesome Fairy covered her mouth and laughed:
"True, with Big Boss around, what do we have to fear? One comes, we take one down; two come, we take two down!"
“Crimson Dusk, Big Fish Eats Fish, I will remember every word of your bravado. If you can't handle it later, don't blame me for not warning you; who wins and who loses is still uncertain!”
Yan Yan said coldly.
She then turned to the Ice Queen and said, “The position of Beichuan President at the Auction House must be reserved. For now, I want to settle some personal grievances. Vice President Jinchuan, please take your leave. Rest assured, the Guild Establishment Order will definitely appear at the Auction House.”
Looking at the frail girl with the crimson Purple Id above her head, who had an ordinary appearance yet exuded an aura she could not fathom, Yan Yan's words came out with undeniable strength and confidence.
For some reason, she felt that this time it would be Crimson Dusk and Luo Ran Residence who would stumble.
It wasn't until she met the girl's gaze that she fully noticed the depths of her eyes were devoid of waves, dark and eerie. That chilling aura was like a soul-reaping specter crawling out from hell, instilling fear in her heart.
Her demeanor was nothing like that of a typical seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl.
This calmness in the face of danger was truly terrifying.
The initial encounter left a deep impression that was not without reason.
“Since that's the case, I'll take my leave now. If there's anything you need, feel free to find me. After all, this is Chuan Chuan's territory; we will not stand by if innocents are harmed amidst the chaos!”
After casting a warning glance at Crimson Dusk and the others, she quickly departed.
“You should leave too; East Wind Guild Leader wouldn’t want to see you here,” Yan Yan turned around, her ink-black eyes filled with a terrifying calmness. Her gentle voice directed at Jiang Linchuan made his mouth twitch; he found himself unable to swallow or spit out the words he had prepared.
Blankly expressionless, he watched his usually clever and wise brother caught in this awkward situation. Just as he moved to resolve the embarrassment, a sudden force came from his side. The Black-Clad Thief narrowed his cold Peach Blossom Eyes, his grip seemingly intent on crushing Jiang Linchuan's arm. Without needing to look, he knew that beneath the Black Veil covering the thief's face lay a clear warning and threat.
“Silent, my presence here today only represents myself and has nothing to do with Newbie Alliance. As your friend—” he paused for a moment before adding, “Can I consider myself your friend?”
"Vice President Jiang, it is an honor to be your friend. Your previous request was not wrong from the Guild's perspective; it's just that we happen to have a disagreement on this matter. This disagreement does not diminish my admiration for you." As the last two words left his lips, the handsome and coldly composed man suddenly smiled lightly. This smile was elegant and cool, like winter snow and plum blossoms in bloom, exuding the graceful demeanor of a noble scion.
On the other side, the Black-Clad Thief let out a cold snort. In that moment of turning his head, the force he applied to the Elf Priest's arm diminished significantly.
His powerless hand then fell limply.
Watching Qin Huai's actions in astonishment, Blank raised a question about Yan Yan's significance in someone's heart.
He did not want to admit that his foolish younger brother had such a style—timid and hesitant like a girl. No, even the girl before him was more decisive.
His gaze swept over the imposing girl radiating an overwhelming aura, and a faint doubt arose in his heart.
According to Strict Language's words, ever since Yan Yan's family situation changed abruptly, she had been well protected by him. She had never shown her true self—introverted and quiet, living in the shadows with a timid demeanor.
After several encounters, it was true that she was quiet and lived in the shadows; however, the remaining introversion and timidity were nowhere to be seen.
On the contrary, she was incredibly decisive and strong-willed, her judgment comparable to those who had been groomed for power. With a maturity polished by experience and a sense of depth born from enduring hardships, if she had truly been well protected, how could there be such darkness and lifelessness in her eyes akin to those of an elderly person?
Living in the shadows might stem from witnessing her parents' deaths, making her colder and more ruthless, stripping away the gentleness and vivacity expected of a girl her age, leaving behind an aura of lethal determination.
She was simply indistinguishable from those who came from that place. (To be continued.)
