Back then, when Lian Ye caught Leng Shiqi's identity, Leng Shiqi promised her something in order to stabilize her. Of course, this favor had to be returned.
However, he didn't promise her anything. He still wanted to see what Lian Ye wanted to say first.
Lian Ye gave him a supercilious look, "Lord Liu, do you plan on letting me stand here in the cold wind?"
Leng Shiqi immediately felt a headache. It was clearly Lian Ye who was sitting here like a lord. However, he still made a "please" gesture and said, "Lady Lian Ye, please come in."
The two walked into the conference hall and Lian Ye set up a restriction. It seemed that the matter she wanted to say was not simple.
As soon as she made a move, Leng Shiqi could tell that she had just entered the Spirit Aperture Realm. Considering her age, her cultivation speed was very fast.
Lian Ye also sensed that Leng Shiqi was spying on her cultivation realm. She also subconsciously tried to sense Leng Shiqi's realm, but she couldn't sense it!
The only explanation was that Leng Shiqi's cultivation had surpassed her by a whole realm!
"You broke through to the Spirit Astral Realm?!" Lian Ye exclaimed.
Leng Shiqi said indifferently, "I just broke through recently."
His tone was as indifferent as if he had eaten this morning. However, the more this tone was, the more Lian Ye felt like she was going crazy!
When the two of them met in the Illusory Spirit Secret Realm, they were both in the Spirit Pulse Realm. Only a few years had passed, and there was already a whole realm difference between them!
Lian Ye grew up with the title of a blessed girl. In the entire imperial capital, the only girl who was stronger than her in terms of cultivation talent was Mo Yi Le.
In fact, with her current age and cultivation, she would be outstanding even in the top sects. However, she met a freak like Leng Shiqi.
"Right, I remember that you entered the Dragon Vein to cultivate. No wonder your cultivation progressed so fast."
Lian Ye suddenly thought of this and immediately whispered, "No, I have to let foster father take me to the Dragon Vein to cultivate."
Leng Shiqi's heart skipped a beat. He still didn't know Lian Ye's specific identity. From Lian Ye's words, her foster father seemed to be a big shot.
How could one enter the Dragon Vein just because they wanted to?
What kind of person could directly arrange for people to enter the Dragon Vein?
Instead of thinking blindly, he might as well ask directly. "Miss Lian Ye, may I know your identity in the Dark Thunder Guard?"
Who would have thought that Lian Ye would bluntly glance at him and say, "What does it have to do with you?
Let's get down to business. "
Leng Shiqi couldn't help but rub his nose. "It seems like you're the one who changed the topic, right?"
"What instructions does Miss Lian Ye have? Please speak."
"Actually, it's not a big deal." Lian Ye sat down and said casually, "I just want you to help me assassinate someone."
"Cough!" Leng Shiqi coughed dryly. How could he say that killing someone was not a big deal?
Moreover, Lian Ye's identity was definitely not simple. The person she wanted to kill was naturally not ordinary either. He had to ask clearly about this matter. He frowned and said, "Miss Lian Ye, when we were in Donglin City, I made it very clear that if the matter is beyond my ability, it won't do."
"I know. Don't worry. The person I want you to assassinate is only in the Spiritual Pulse Realm.
You are now in the Gang Spirit Realm. Isn't it a piece of cake? "Lian Ye said easily.
For the current Leng Shiqi, the Spiritual Pulse Realm was indeed easy to kill, but he still asked worriedly, "Who is that person?
What's his identity? "
Lian Ye glanced at Leng Shiqi inexplicably and said, "The person you want to assassinate is called Lei Haoqing, the ninth prince of the Thunder Flame Dynasty."
Hearing this, Leng Shiqi suddenly felt confused!
He stared at Lian Ye with extremely complicated eyes. Was this girl stupid? How dare she assassinate the ninth prince of the dynasty?!
And she wanted him to assassinate him?
Unless he was tired of living, he wouldn't assassinate a prince!
However, Leng Shiqi quickly calmed down and asked tentatively, "Are you joking, Miss Lian Ye?"
"Of course I'm not joking. Don't look at me like that. I'm telling the truth." Lian Ye shook her head.
Leng Shiqi immediately shouted to the door, "Come, see the guest out!"
Lian Ye also screamed, "Liu Xingzhi!
What do you mean? Do you want to break your promise? "
Leng Shiqi sneered, "Miss Lian Ye, there's a limit to joking. Assassinate a prince?
Do you think there are no masters around the prince?
Besides, even if you really kill the ninth prince, do you think they won't find out that it was you or me?
Miss Lian Ye, you'd better find someone else to do such a suicidal act. "
Pitiful Lian Ye suddenly said innocently, "I didn't say I was going to kill Lei Haoqing."
"…" Leng Shiqi paused. A mouthful of blood was stuck in his throat, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.
Lian Ye's eyes flashed with cunning, "I just said I was going to assassinate Lei Haoqing, but I didn't say I had to kill him."
Only then did Leng Shiqi realize that he seemed to have been played.
"I don't know what Miss Lian Ye is planning. Assassinating a prince is a crime punishable by death. I definitely can't agree to it," he said firmly.
"Does Lord Liu not want to hear the details? It might even be beneficial to you," Lian Ye said as she blinked her watery eyes.
At this moment, Leng Shiqi finally realized that this Lian Ye was getting more and more difficult to deal with. "Then, Miss Lian Ye, please make the long story short."
At this time, Lian Ye's tone also became heavy, "I don't know what wrong medicine that Lei Haoqing took. A long time ago, he often came to bother me. Recently, he went to find my foster father to propose marriage!
What's annoying is that although my adoptive father didn't agree, he didn't explicitly refuse either!
Who doesn't know what Lei Haoqing is thinking? He just wants to rope in my adoptive father as a bargaining chip to fight for the throne.
But why doesn't he look in the mirror? He doesn't have talent, he doesn't have shrewdness, and he doesn't have ability.
Just based on his glib tongue, he wants to take me as his wife and rope in my adoptive father?
Even Prince Ying and Prince Qi couldn't rope in my adoptive father. Just based on him, he wants to fight for the throne?
What wishful thinking! "
Leng Shiqi understood the cause of the matter. He also heard two key points from Lian Ye's words.
One was that the ninth prince Lei Haoqing's ability was average and wasn't thought highly of.
The other was that Lian Ye's adoptive father was definitely a powerful figure. Even those princes would fight to win him over.
Lian Ye continued, "I'm not asking you to actually assassinate him. I'm just putting on an act to let him know that he can be in danger at any time. He should stay at home and stop bothering me."
So it was like that!
Leng Shiqi couldn't help but secretly ridicule. Why didn't you just say it from the start? Why did you have to take a few deep breaths?
However, even if it was just for show, he still wouldn't agree. "Assassinating a prince is a serious matter. I really can't do it. Miss Lian Ye, please change the condition."
Lian Ye revealed an expression that said she already knew this would happen. She slightly raised her neck like a proud swan and said, "My adoptive father is the commander of the Dark Thunder Guards, Heavenly Sovereign Hei Yan!"
