Starting from the ultimate, the keeper behind the Nine Gates

And A-Ning knows this very well, and all she can answer is to do what needs to be done, and whether it is worth it or not is not a question they should consider.

Having said that, Pi Dan's words still caused waves in her heart.

All the experiences she had experienced in the West Queen Mother's Palace kept flashing through her mind, and her emotions surged. For a moment, she seemed to be pulled into the scene again.

Countless times of panic and despair...

Only this time, those eyes as deep as cold pools looked at herself.

In an instant, even though she was sitting next to the fire, A Ning felt a chill sweep through her body.

She held the hand of the firewood tightly, and a faint light flashed across her eyes, which was so fleeting that it was difficult to detect.

After a moment to regain her composure, she threw the firewood into the fire.

Amidst the crackling sound of burning, there was a muffled sound of heavy objects falling to the ground behind him.

Sensing something strange, A Ning stood up suddenly and turned around, but the dagger with a cold light first touched her neck.

As for Pi Dan, he didn't even have a chance to stand up. With a knife strike, he immediately became as limp as noodles and fainted.

Aning glanced sideways and saw that he had just lost consciousness, so he withdrew his gaze and looked at the person in front of him with a pair of beautiful eyes.

She was calm and composed, and seemed completely unconcerned that she was in danger at this moment. The other party could send her to see the King of Hell with just a little force.

Although the woman in front of her had skin as fair as porcelain and delicate and bright facial features, her face was probably not as big as his palm.

However, Jie Shiyi didn't have the slightest idea of ​​pity for her. He knew very well that this woman was a typical femme fatale.

If you don’t want to be poisoned, you can’t be careless!

He expressionlessly pressed the cold blade of the dagger against Ah Ning's skin, and asked in a low voice, with a hint of threat: "Where is the mistress?"

"Over there." Ah Ning raised her hand and pointed at a tent, her movements casual and perfunctory, with no intention of resisting at all.

With her look like this, Jie Shiyi believed that there was a ghost.

He admits that he is indeed slow to react sometimes, but being slow is not stupid.

How could he not see that this woman was obviously trying to fool him!

Jie Eleven couldn't hide the anger in his eyes. With a move of his wrist, the sharp blade immediately showed a bloodstain on A Ning's throat.

But facing Wuhe's intimidation, Ah Ning didn't even frown, and her gaze directly passed Jie Shiyi and looked behind him.

Her red lips parted slightly, "Master Hua, if you don't believe me, you can go and see for yourself."

Ah Ning proposed proactively, her expression naturally very magnanimous.

Her voice was not deliberately lowered, and Xie Yuchen, who had already approached, naturally heard it, but he did not stop walking and walked aside without looking away.

His men were very discerning and pulled Pidan to the ground and freed the chairs.

Jie Yuqing sat down slowly, without even giving A Ning a look, as if she was nothing but air.

"Go and ask her master to come out."

Xie Yuqiu gathered the fire with tongs and gave instructions without raising his head.

After hearing this, Ah Ning, who had reacted lightly to being threatened and ignored before, instantly turned cold and stern.

However, with just a slight movement, Jie Shiyi, who noticed her intention, tightened his elbow a little more, and the blade of the knife was pressed tightly against her artery.

There is already a huge disparity in physical strength between men and women. Although Ah Ning is not weak in skill, the fact that he can appear behind her quietly is enough to prove that Jie Shiyi is stronger.

There is no possibility of breaking free in this situation, and there is only one outcome for resisting, blood splattering on the spot!

Ah Ning immediately smiled and had no more unnecessary thoughts.

But before Xie Yuqiao's men could get close to the main tent of the camp, the people inside suddenly swarmed out.

Visual inspection revealed that there were more than [-] people, all holding weapons, and their aura was not comparable to those who were quietly knocked down.

However, Xie's family members were not vegetarians. The scattered people quickly gathered in front of Xie Yutong to confront him, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

The two groups of people are about the same in terms of weapons, equipment, and numbers. If they really fight head-on, it is foreseeable how tragic the result will be.

Therefore, no one took the initiative without an order, and the situation remained silent.

The air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder, as if it could explode with just one click.

However, Jie Yuqing didn't seem to notice the tense situation behind him, and calmly warmed himself up by the fire.

At this moment, a foreigner with gray hair and a cane slowly walked out of the tent that A Ning had just pointed to.

Although every step the old man took was a little heavy, his back was still straight and there was no sign of the old man's slump.

He has a square face, a wide forehead, and a high nose bridge. His loose skin and wrinkles cannot hide his innate superiority.

Unlike his bulky body, his deep blue eyes were as sharp as an eagle's.

Among the people who came out with him was Wu Tianzhen, who was tied into a rice dumpling. The tape on his mouth meant that he could only utter some broken syllables.

"Um!"

"Uh... uh uh uh"

Wu Tianzhen winked at Jie Yuqiao and shook his head in an attempt to convey the message.

With his big, piercing eyes, he made a series of micro-expressions in just a few seconds.

"Little Third Master!"

"be honest!"

The voices of Jie Shiyi and the person responsible for protecting Jude Kao sounded at the same time.

The former is a surprise and the latter is a threatening warning.

Jie Shiyi also didn't expect that the location A Ning told him was actually true, and that the mistress was really in that tent.

He couldn't figure out what this woman was doing?

She gave in so easily and revealed the information to them. Could it be that she wanted to betray her boss and join Mr. Hua?

Jie Shiyi's eyes were confused for a moment, but after seeing Wu Tianzhen's situation, he suddenly regained his clarity and looked at Jude Kao with hostility.

"Hey, don't look at me like that."

Judecao smiled and waved his hand, then walked slowly towards the space vacated by Aning on his crutches.

He looks like a standard foreigner, but when he speaks, he speaks standard Mandarin without any accent.

"Your boss and I are old acquaintances, don't be so nervous."

During these few steps, Jude Kao's breathing began to become a little heavy.

But he smiled kindly, as if he was chatting with his junior, and didn't care at all that A Ning was in Jie Shiyi's hands.

Walking to Jie Yuqing's side, he sat down with great difficulty using the power of his crutches.

Then he took a long breath, wiped the sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief, and said with a wry smile: "Make Master Jie laugh, my body is really getting worse every day."

When he said this, his lips turned slightly white, which showed that what he said was true.

"When we first met, you were only this tall." Jude measured the approximate height, "You were still a child."

"Now that I have grown up, my personality has changed a lot."

After Judecao sighed, he showed a troubled expression and said earnestly to Jie Yutong: "But I still like your previous way of doing things."

"It's very similar to Mr. Jie Jiu."
