Yun Jian’s eyes that were slightly narrowed just now recovered to normal promptly. Her red lips were tugged into a smile—with the burning noon sun shining on her, she looked even more enticing.
“I’ve told you what you want. Can you let me go now?” Gu Nian asked Yun Jian with an entitled tone.
“Do you really think that I won’t kill you after you answered?” Yun Jian smirked, her interest suddenly piqued by Gu Nian.
“What do you want then? I’m just a small-time assassin. I’m nobody in Yulong Mainland. It doesn’t do much for you killing me,” Ge Nian muttered.
Yun Jian squinted but did not answer her.
Zhang Shaofeng who stood at the side listened to the conversation in bewilderment. Yulong Mainland? What was that? Why could he not understand a single thing from the conversation between his master and the girl?
That was all Zhang Shaofeng got to think about when Yun Jian told him, “Tie her hands up and bring her down the mountain.”
“Alright, sure. Tying people up is my favorite thing to do,” Zhang Shaofeng replied and ran back to where Zhang Jian was standing to retrieve some rope from his bag that the guy was carrying for him. He carried the rope around all the time and it was finally being utilized now.
Zhang Shaofeng cackled and ran back to bind Gu Nian’s hands together and tugged her along with the rope. Being from Yulong Mainland, Gu Nian was not strong in her physical combat skill with her cultivation prowess from her place of origin removed, so Zhang Shaofeng tied her up easily.
“Don’t tie me up like this. How am I supposed to complete the mission now?” Gu Nian struggled but Zhang Shaofeng did his job swiftly.
“Do you think I’ll let you kill master? Hahaha, please, in your dreams! Hmph!” Zhang Shaofeng even gave the rope a tug.
Feeling the pull, Gu Nian scoffed and turned her head away to ignore Zhang Shaofeng.
Due to Gu Nian’s appearance, Yun Jian and Zhang Shaofeng had asked to be excluded from the group activities that followed. It was not like their homeroom teacher could help it; Yun Jian had the status of the Advanced Special Forces soldier and more importantly, everyone there saw Gu Nian’s failed attempt at assassinating Yun Jian. What would they do if Gu Nian actually succeeded? Considering this, the teacher dared not say more.
The rest of the students went around following their classes while Yun Jian had Zhang Shaofeng tie Gu Nian up and stand on the spot. When the spring outing came to an end, Yun Jian asked Zhang Shaofeng to tug Gu Nian along lest she escape—and that was how they went down the mountain.
Gu Nian grumbled and murmured the whole way but she did not try anything else.
When Yun Jian came down the mountain, she saw Qing You who stood around nearby. The latter had kept her hair long recently and her lustrous black hair was incredibly soft and silky.
Needless to say, Yun Jian was the one who asked Qing You to come. Qing You came over just as she saw them coming down from the mountain and nodded at Yun Jian. “Sister Jian.”
“Mn.” Yun Jian nodded back and pushed Gu Nian to her. “She’s yours. Train her properly.”
“What? Why are you passing me to her to be trained? I’m not either of yours...” Gu Nian was miffed the moment she heard it but she was broken off by Yun Jian.
“Just because you’re my captive now.”
Yun Jian wore a small smile as she spoke.
