As a junior, it wasn't inappropriate for me to use this trick. After all, it was the Ouyang family who made the first move. What I did could only be regarded as a counterattack. Even if I said it out loud, it was reasonable.
Curator Du didn't feel at ease with me keeping the inner pellet. Even I had the urge to take it when I was in a difficult situation. Curator Du gave me the inner pellet to show his trust in me. If the Blood Demon's remnant consciousness awakened, he might not be able to control the situation. At that time, he would become a great sinner.
On the contrary, I was willing to take out the inner pellet as a reward. This showed that my desire for the inner pellet wasn't that strong. This was what made him feel relieved.
Originally, I planned to give the inner pellet to my master as a way to repay her kindness and help her enter the Transforming Strength realm. However, she was too embarrassed to accept such a rare and precious thing. Now, it came in handy. As for how useful it was, it was hard to say.
Not long after, Curator Du sent me Leng Yue's WeChat ID. I directly added her as a friend. Soon, the friend request was accepted.
Her WeChat profile picture was a rose with thorns. It seemed that she deliberately hid her WeChat status from me, so I couldn't see her Moments.
I took the initiative to send a smiley face. "Beauty Leng Yue, thank you for not killing me."
It wasn't an exaggeration to say that. In the afternoon, Lone Wolf had the ability to kill me. However, Leng Yue provoked him. That guy was arrogant and wanted to show off, so he let me go.
"Hmph, don't play this trick with me. Don't expect me to forgive you. One day, I will take your life!"
Obviously, Leng Yue was full of hatred for my obscene behavior. However, she was stubborn and wanted to take revenge through her own efforts.
"Uh, okay."
Seeing her cold message, I felt a little pain in the ass. As the saying goes, leave a line in case we meet again in the future. This sentence was quite reasonable. When I humiliated Leng Yue, I didn't even think about the possibility of meeting her again. At most, she would bring helpers to cause trouble for me.
When my life was hanging by a thread, she was willing to save me. It didn't matter whether Leng Yue was muddle-headed or just sticking to her principles.
I could be sure that in the future, her power would surpass mine, and I might have to endure ten times or even a hundred times more humiliation. If that was the case, I wouldn't hate her, and would only blame myself for being inferior.
When Leng Yue did things, she only wanted to be magnanimous. She would never rely on other people's help. To be honest, I somewhat admired this girl, especially her competitive heart. She was a real tomboy.
"I sincerely apologize to you for what happened before.
I took the initiative to admit my mistake. There was a strange feeling in my heart. How should I put it? You have to know that just a few hours ago, we were still fighting to the death.
Right now, the WeChat conversation is very lively. It really makes me sigh with emotion at the wonders of life. However, Curator Du must have helped me in secret. Otherwise, my plan would not have been possible.
Even if he had an inner core, he would need a way to use it. Without a doubt, Leng Yue was acting as a referral.
"It's useless to apologize. My desire to kill you is impossible to dispel, even with Curator Du as your backer!" Leng Yue's attitude was quite firm.
"Ahem, you misunderstood. I don't expect you to be merciful. If you are unhappy, you are welcome to vent your anger on me at any time."
Although the number of times we met was very few, I could feel Leng Yue's stubborn temper. As long as she didn't find a ruthless person to deal with me, everything would be fine.
Next, Leng Yue explained to me about the general matters of issuing a mission …
It turned out that it didn't mean that you could hire a professional assassin with money. You needed a guarantor, and the conditions for the guarantor were very strict. It had to be an assassin in the world's top 50.
Although Leng Yue's ranking had fallen out of the top 100, she was once an assassin in the top 50, so she still had the qualifications to be a guarantor.
However, Leng Yue was very curious about the matter of me having an inner core. She had only briefly investigated me before and didn't dig deeper.
In Leng Yue's opinion, even if a martial artist in the early stage of negative strength had a trump card, she wouldn't fail.
Since the inner core was a physical object, it was different from money and could be transferred online. Leng Yue suggested to come over personally to confirm whether I was speaking carelessly or not.
As the guarantor of the bounty mission, I had to guarantee the authenticity of the mission. I directly sent her the location. Although the address was a private matter, it was easy for her to investigate it. There was no need to deliberately hide it. This was also a form of trust in her.
I continued to concentrate on my cultivation. Around one or two o 'clock in the evening, I heard a slight movement. Then, from my mother-in-law's room, a graceful figure walked out.
Although it was more than ten floors high, it was useless to Leng Yue. In terms of physical strength and skills, she was definitely far better than a martial artist.
"You're here." I smiled and greeted her.
"Yes, where's the inner core?" Leng Yue seemed to be avoiding my gaze.
"It's here."
I took out a small exquisite box and opened it in front of her. Suddenly, a gentle energy spread out. Leng Yue's eyes couldn't help but brighten. This kind of treasure couldn't be described as rare.
The last time an internal elixir appeared was more than 20 years ago. In fact, not every Peak Strength master had the ability to condense an internal elixir when he passed away. It required his own attainments in martial arts to reach a certain level.
"According to the rules of our organization, if it's a monetary reward mission, then it should be directly transferred to the company's Swiss bank account. This kind of precious item is usually handed over to the guarantor for safekeeping during the period of the mission. Do you have any objections to this?"
Leng Yue only glanced at it. After confirming that it was an inner core, she felt relieved. It seemed that I wasn't deliberately playing with her.
"No problem. If I leave it with you, I will feel more at ease." I agreed without hesitation.
Leng Yue was stunned. She really didn't expect my decisiveness. It should be known that the rarity of an inner core was no less than Gu Lang's middle rank weapon. But this guy actually agreed to give it to her without hesitation.
"Aren't you afraid that I will stuff my pockets and keep the inner core for myself?" Leng Yue couldn't help but ask.
"To be honest, I am quite afraid. But I believe that you aren't that kind of person." I shrugged and said.
