"This, this is a misunderstanding! We didn't mean it that way," Black Bald stammered, beads of sweat forming on his forehead as the Refined Youth continued to chuckle and pat his own shoulder.
"Come on, don't be shy! I clearly heard you all talking about wanting to get your hands on the Royal Treasure Chamber of the royal family. Oh, I won't go spreading it around," Yang Xiaoyou said with a crescent-shaped smile, giving Black Bald's shoulder a hearty slap, her tone cheerful.
Black Bald felt a wave of helplessness wash over him. Damn it, this is not how you should be messing with me!
Their goal was merely the royal tomb!
Even that was already a significant risk, but now—
Damn it, are we really talking about overthrowing the dynasty? After all, they were still nominally part of the royal family; even the Prime Minister had to bow when he saw the Emperor in public!
"I don't think I misheard you. Hehe, don't worry; I won't go around causing trouble. Even if something goes wrong there, it won't come back to you."
Yang Xiaoyou's eyes crinkled with laughter as she spoke her last sentence, but her tone shifted to something more ominous. The slits of her eyes opened just enough to reveal a chilling glint that silenced Black Bald completely, sending a shiver deep into his bones.
Some instinct told him that if he didn't admit it—
He would die.
"Lord Yang, you certainly have confidence and aren't afraid. But we really can't afford to get ourselves into trouble! Moreover, although the current royal family is weak, they possess a terrifying top-tier combat force—the Zhao Clan Auxiliary! Their Elder Patriarch was recognized as the strongest in Huaxia!"
Black Bald had initially intended to drag Yang Xiaoyou onto his ship of thieves but now found himself feeling like he might be thrown overboard instead. A bitter smile crossed his face as he switched to a serious tone.
In comparison, they were just grave robbers—real wanderers of the rivers and lakes—with connections that were quite wild.
"Oh? The Zhao Clan? I know them well; I've taken down quite a few strong members from the Zhao Clan myself. And besides them, our Common Unity Party is also under their control. Knowing this must excite you, right?"
Yang Xiaoyou patted Black Bald's back cheerfully, but her words made his heart race almost to the point of collapse. Good lord, this isn't just excitement! If you add more fuel to the fire, my heart might just give out!
The Common Unity Party? That’s currently the most influential party around; even if young people aren’t their supporters, most won’t oppose them! They are the vanguard of the anti-royal faction!
But now he was hearing from Yang Xiaoyou that they were actually a hidden power of the royal family? This joke was not funny at all.
Yet this absurd news somehow gave Black Bald an undeniable sense of reality—it was indeed true!
“Yang the Elder. I... I didn’t hear anything,” Black Bald said weakly, on the verge of tears, while Liu Shaoqiang beside him wore an unusually comical expression.
However, after seeing Yang Xiaoyou’s unchanged smiling face, Black Bald ultimately sighed.
“So, what exactly do you want us to do? To be honest, we are only good at disarming various traps and finding valuable items. Our combat ability is just enough for self-defense; you can’t rely on us for anything more.”
“I appreciate someone who knows their place; it makes conversations much simpler. Don’t worry about your combat capabilities; I’ll handle that myself. What you need to do is find everything I need in the shortest time possible. This is your specialty, and rest assured, I will give you enough preparation time and help gather information for your research.” Seeing that the other party was so agreeable, Yang Xiaoyou became increasingly satisfied with this thin, bald man.
Deceiving oneself?
Fine, right now he was in a critical mode. Anyone who lagged behind at this moment would be eliminated.
For the royal family, although grudges had built up over time, the contradictions between both sides were already quite evident.
It had always been a matter of not wanting to be dragged down by their desperate counterattacks, which was why no direct actions had been taken until now—at most, just eliminating some Second Prince or the like.
But now the situation no longer allowed him to wait any longer.
An innocent man may suffer for possessing something precious; let’s not even mention that this innocent man himself was not exactly clean-handed.
Previously, he had been contemplating expanding his influence in the Middle East; now that he had adopted a defensive posture, he felt more confident in responding to counterattacks.
Although it remained a tough nut to crack, he was no longer looking to annihilate a clan but merely borrowing some toys—there was no need to get overly worked up about it.
Before him lay a race against time to see whether the Queen or he would be faster!
Thus, Yang Xiaoyou placed considerable pressure on Black Bald; results were required within a month!
With his fangs fully bared, Yang Xiaoyou now gave off an overwhelming sense of sharpness.
‘Thud.’
After entering the bedroom with Liu Shaoqiang, Yang Xiaoyou collapsed onto the bed and hugged a pillow, directly drifting off to sleep. Well, one could say this was also a consequence of the previous direct pressure exerted on those two fellows from the Daoist Association.
After all, they were also at the pinnacle of Momentum Level; ordinary disturbances didn’t require much effort. However, completely dragging someone into a world where fate and life-and-death were controlled still came at a significant cost.
At least a few more minutes of sleep were needed.
This scene left Liu Shaoqiang beside him feeling completely speechless; the contrast was simply too great compared to the demeanor in the private room.
However, just as Yang Xiaoyou was about to lie down and enjoy a good sleep, her phone rang at an inopportune moment. Seeing the caller ID, she reluctantly answered.
"Chen Wuyou, Big Sister, what instructions do you have?"
"You should be studying in Shanghai now, right? This Saturday, our flight is coming in to pick you up." Although it started with what seemed like a question, the direct tone made Yang Xiaoyou feel a mix of amusement and exasperation. No matter how things changed, Big Sister's personality remained the same.
As for the pickup...
Thinking of that charming figure from the promotional video, Yang Xiaoyou couldn't help but sigh.
They were clearly the same person, yet the contrast was even greater than her two lifetimes. It seemed that one either became worse in silence or transformed into something unrecognizable. The 'Dream Butterfly' that had clung to her for so long had completely gone awry.
Now this Big Sister was also a bit of a fool with many quirks, but it seemed there was still hope for redemption. If she could tie herself to Yang Xiaoyou's chariot, that would be even better.
