Imperial Treasure

Chapter 588 - 381: Hang it up, Sit up

————————

Wei Feng watched as Sui Yi was threatened. He naturally knew that the old man was not a close relation of hers, at most someone she had met and cooperated with for the first time. Third Lady Yin was also quite amusing, threatening with someone unrelated; did she really think it would soften her heart?

The indifference of this woman’s heart... he had experienced it long ago...

So...

"No need to save me," Sui Yi said, which left Mount Mover stunned, and Third Lady Yin as well.

It was a matter of saving or not saving, where did this ’no need to save’ come from?

Third Lady Yin sneered, "Sui Yi, do you really think the gun in my hand is a toy gun? Just one shot from me—"

"You won’t," Sui Yi was no longer looking at her, "I can still tell good from evil, and you don’t have the heart to do it."

The expression on Third Lady Yin’s face was fickle, with ferocity in her eyes, "Well, that’s not necessarily true. If there’s an absolutely compelling reason to kill..."

"Then it’s the karma between you and the senior. There’s no need for me or anyone else to repay it..." Sui Yi spoke not stiffly, even quite softly, but with little emotion.

She looked at Mount Mover, "Moreover, since the senior has come to this Ancient Tomb at his age, he must have been prepared mentally..."

Damn it!

I wasn’t prepared at all!

Mount Mover’s face was a picture of misery, but he had understood the deep meaning in Sui Yi’s eyes. What did this girl perceive?

Third Lady Yin was helpless, rolling her eyes, sneering, "It seems I should have taken Miss Yhan as a hostage to threaten you instead..."

These two obviously had something going on; she really did grab the wrong person...

Yhan Qingwu reminded her, "You’re not my match."

Third Lady Yin: "There’s no need for you to remind me!!!"

The threats from Third Lady Yin were useless; Sui Yi ignored everyone else and looked towards the young man, giving him a look.

The young man nodded, saying nothing, but Sui Yi seemed reassured, "Qing Wu, let’s go... Gong Jiu..."

Before she could finish, footsteps could be heard coming from a side passage.

"That old gentleman held no value as a hostage, wonder if these two do?"

When Anayi and Yang Rui showed up, each pushing Flower Demon and Gong Jiu, Yhan Qingwu was indeed glad to see they were still alive, yet knew that things were not looking good.

Whether threats worked or not depended on the hostage.

Obviously, the old Mount Mover held no threat over Sui Yi.

Or perhaps it wasn’t enough to counter the threat of the coffin to Sui Yi.

Sui Yi made a clear distinction between rationality and emotion.

But if it were Gong Jiu and his companion...

They had come on this adventure to save these two; what could be more important than their lives?

Gong Jiu’s face was grim, but Flower Demon was smiling, saying, "Sorry, dear Sui Yi, although we were reluctant, unarmed as we are, we got caught by these two..."

"So it’s my little niece... seems like a lot of people are after you," said the always malicious Second Master Gong cheerfully. Since it would be best for Sui Yi to open the coffin, why should he take action when others were muddying the waters?

He would just wait for the coffin to be opened.

He exchanged glances with Corpse Hover, coming up with a plan.

Sui Yi looked at Anayi and Yang Rui, "What about the others?"

"They’ve been knocked out and dumped in a corner. Don’t worry, I certainly didn’t dare to kill them... Otherwise, if you got upset with me, would I still be alive?" Anayi spoke with a gleaming smile, her slim waist suggesting anything but her ability to kill without a blink.

Sui Yi glanced at her, "So you also want me to open the coffin?"

Anayi smiled, "Yes, who could resist Miss Sui’s capabilities~"

Gong Jiu scoffed, "You all know how formidable our Sui Yi is, eh? Have you considered the dangers that lie within a coffin she won’t open?"

Who didn’t know of the danger... Greed in human nature seemed to always breed a sense of false hope.

"God once said, if man was not willing to take risks, then where would the first piece of meat cooked on a fire come from?" murmured the foreigner...

"That sounds reasonable, but did God really say that? There’s no such record in the Bible," said Yhan Qingwu indifferently.

"Ohh~~ then it must have been Shakespeare who said it~"

Sui Yi looked at the foreigner, saying faintly, "The first meat to be cooked is often human flesh."

Foreigner: "..."

Beautiful Miss, could you please not oppose God and Shakespeare~~

"Enough talk, Sui Yi, just know that if you don’t open the coffin right now, I can cut this woman’s head off... you know I can do it," Yang Rui pressed his knife against Gong Jiu’s neck, a bloodstain forming, his expression fierce.

Given his deep hatred for Sui Yi, he naturally wouldn’t show mercy.

That was a different case from Third Lady Yin’s.

With no choice... Sui Yi turned to look at the coffin and also met the young man’s eyes.

The young man frowned slightly, shaking his head.
