Chapter 1281: He Could Not Outmatch Them
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“No way! Why would I tell them? They’re outsiders!” Young Master Nie denied it.
However, it was true that he did not say anything. To be precise, he could not say anything to Qian Jiyun and An Jiuyue yet.
“Even if I want to talk, I’m talking to you. Why would I talk to those two? Chief, have you forgotten that you were the one who begged them?”
“1—” The guard leader opened his mouth and felt that he had suffered a huge loss.
Young Master Nie’s eyes darted around as he looked at the guard leader silently.
He had deliberately told the guard leader that he was the one who had begged Qian Jiyun and An Jiuyue to help search for Yue Suiyu because he thought their cultivation levels were high enough to roam Scorching Rock Peak freely.
“Chief, let’s not point fingers. Since they’re not leaving, what are you planning to do?” he asked.
The guard leader was still having a headache. He did not know what to do now that Young Master Nie had asked him about his next plans. He really wanted to chop Qian Jiyun and An Jiuyue up with a knife.
However, he could not outmatch them. What else could he do?
‘You have to think of a way. It won’t be my fault if they snatch the item once we find it. After all, you were the one who approached them.”
His tone turned bitter as he spoke. After all, he was prepared to push all the blame on the guard leader.
Upon hearing that, the guard leader took a deep breath.
“There’ll be a way.”
He had thought of some ideas along the way, but most of them were not feasible.
He considered poisoning them and killing them secretly. However, he later realized that the woman was a medicine refiner. The medicinal pills she possessed were better than the ones he had.
Hence, this method was useless. He had to think of another way.
He also considered summoning some demonic beasts. However…
He could tell that the demonic beasts here were not enough for their amusement. They were not afraid of demonic beasts; rather, the demonic beasts were avoiding them!
What could he do? He was in despair! “Can you still sense that thing? Lead the way.”
“Alright,” Young Master Nie replied softly.
He thought to himself, “This person is really generous! He still has the cheek to let me lead the way when he’s being watched!”
Was he leading the way for them? He was clearly leading the way for Qian Jiyun and An Jiuyue!
However, he could not help but glance at the guard leader. Could he be hoping to snatch the item back from Qian Jiyun and An Jiuyue?
Or was he hoping to rely on that item to kill Qian Jiyun and An Jiuyue after they snatched it?
“Chief, don’t tell me you want to bring those two to find that thing?” he asked, the corners of his mouth twitching.
“Why are you so long-winded? I told you to lead the way, so lead the way. I have my ways to deal with them,” the guard leader cursed when he saw that Young Master Nie’s questions were endless.
Young Master Nie understood what the guard leader meant. He was really planning to rely on that item to kill Qian Jiyun and An Jiuyue.
“Alright, I’ll stop talking. I’ll lead the way.”
Since the guard leader had a death wish, what else could Young Master Nie do? Of course, he did not mind sending another person off..
