Chapter 25 One cannot be so shameless!
Chapter 25 One cannot be so shameless!
Yao Qing recognized it at a glance.
The one in Huang Ying’s hand was her nephew Jing’er’s ring!
Although it was just a casual glance at the time, this ring looked peculiar and Yao Qing remembered it clearly.
Yao Qing’s body shook a bit, her face was pale, and her eyes were filled with despair.
She had heard what the person outside the door had just said.
The owner of the ring had fallen off the cliff.
Jing’er was dead!
Flop!
Yao Qing’s little legs went limp and she directly fell to the ground.
Jing’er was her sister’s only support.
Yao Qing simply did not dare to imagine how sad her sister would be after the news of Jing’er’s death was sent back!
Zhao Yi looked at Yao Qing and shrugged his shoulders, ”Shopkeeper Yao, it looks like you’re late. If you had said something earlier, that monk called Fa Jing might have been fine!”
Zhao Yi said, reaching out to take the ring from Huang Ying.
After holding it in his hand and observing it for a while, he didn’t see the name and casually threw it on the table.
Zhao Coronet knew that Zhao Yi didn’t have any cultivation.
Since he was relieved to throw the ring over, he must have placed some kind of restriction on it, at least to ensure that the “old grandpa” couldn’t hurt him!
However, now was not the time to study this thing.
Seeing Yao Qing’s grief, Zhao Yi waved his hand and said, “Don’t worry, Mr. Yao, your nephew will be fine.”
Obviously, the male lead changed his external armor.
The main reason why Zhao Yi asked his elder brother Zhao Coronation to chop off the male lead’s hand with the ring was because he wanted to see how the plot would develop after the male lead lost his golden finger.
This was crucial for Zhao Yi to observe the male lead’s plot line.
Zhao Coronet succeeded.
He didn’t cut off the male lead’s hand, but he got that ring back by mistake.
The male lead’s old grandpa’s golden finger was gone.
Then, the male lead fell off the cliff.
Zhao Yi was helpless for a while.
This was a common cliff jumping oddity hangout in novels.
Therefore, Zhao Yi was almost certain.
The male lead had fallen off the cliff, and instead of dying, he had probably already gotten some sort of strange encounter.
This would be troublesome!
It seemed that before the male lead’s protagonist aura was removed, he couldn’t make another move against him for the time being.
Otherwise, if he had a few more encounters, Zhao Yi wouldn’t be able to handle it!
Yao Qing’s eyes were red.
When she heard Zhao Yi’s words, she violently raised her head and said with teary eyes, “Jing’er he only has the cultivation of the second stage of the Enlightened Yuan Realm, how could he not die if he fell from the mountain?”
Zhao Yi raised an eyebrow, “Want to bet?”
“What?” Yao Qing froze for a moment.
Zhao Yi smiled, “You say that the monk called Fa Jing is dead, and I say he’s not dead. So, want to bet?”
Yao Qing’s face changed, “You actually took Jing’er’s life and death as a bet?”
Zhao Yi waved his hand, unimpressed, “It’s idle anyway.”
Idle is idle?
Yao Qing looked at Zhao Yi, his face filled with disbelief.
Was this something a human could say?
She simply couldn’t dare to imagine it.
How could there be such a shameless person in this world!
One moment, he had sent people to force her nephew off a cliff;
The next moment, he even wanted to bet with her on her nephew’s life and death!
Yao Qing gritted her teeth and clenched her fists in anger.
If she wasn’t worried about the retaliation of the Grand Xia royal family, she couldn’t wait to punch the dog’s head off of this asshole in front of her!
Yao Qing’s face was iron blue as she stared dead at Zhao Yi and said word for word, ”Your Highness! One cannot, or at least should not, be so cold-blooded!”
Her face was filled with anger as she roared in a snappy voice, “My family Jing’er is innocent with that woman surnamed Su, the sun and the moon can tell! It’s not even if you indiscriminately ordered to kill him, you even took his life and death as a plaything, are you really so cold-blooded that the Great Xia Royal Family doesn’t have any humanity at all?”
Zhao Yi’s ears were ringing from her yelling and he pulled out his ears.
Then, he looked at Yao Qing and asked seriously, “So, you bet on that monk to die, right? Very well, I bet on that monk not dying, the bet is established! Next it’s time to finalize the chips!”
Yao Qing’s face was hard to see!
She had finally determined that the man in front of her was a madman!
He truly didn’t care about human life.
Yao Qing shook her head and weakly sat up from the ground before staggering outside.
She was going to collect the corpse of poor Jing’er!
Zhao Yi looked at Yao Qing’s back and asked in a loud voice, “Shopkeeper Yao, aren’t you going to ask what my chips are?”
Yao Qing paused in her footsteps and said without looking back, “Is there any point?”
There is no greater sorrow than death in the heart!
Yao Qing and her sister had suffered for so many years, and Jing’er was the only motivation to support their lives.
Now that Jing’er is dead, the last string in her heart is broken, so what’s the point of saying this?
“Of course there is meaning!” Zhao Yi asked seriously, “Don’t you want to avenge that monk?”
Revenge?
Yao Qing froze for a moment, then a trace of color flashed in his eyes.
Right!
She couldn’t give up yet!
She hadn’t avenged Jing’er yet!
Yao Qing looked back at Zhao Yi with a complicated expression and said expressionlessly, “Your Highness, what exactly do you want?”
Yao Qing was tired.
She didn’t want to guess anymore.
This person in front of her was a lunatic.
How could a normal person guess the thoughts of a madman!
Zhao Yi smiled and said, “I want to practice, but I’m missing a cauldron, I think you’re just fine, Boss Yao!”
Stovepot?
Yao Qing’s originally iron-clad face suddenly became even uglier.
She had already speculated about the person in front of her with the utmost malice.
As a result, she did not expect it.
She had still underestimated this person’s shamelessness and wickedness!
How dare he?
He had just sent someone to kill her only nephew who was her closest relative.
How could he still say the words of accepting her as a furnace?
Yao Qing had always thought that there was always a limit to what a person could do, even if they were ruthless.
But she was wrong!
The man in front of her simply had no limit to his viciousness and cold-bloodedness!
Yao Qing gritted her teeth and said, ”Fine, I’ll bet with you! If Jing’er is still alive, I’m willing to be a furnace for you!”
After saying that, a trace of resentment flashed across her face, “What if Your Highness loses? If my Jing’er dies, what will Your Highness bet with me?”
“I’ll bet with you for your life!” Zhao Yi leaned on the soft collapse and casually said.
Yao Qing froze for a moment, “What do you mean?”
Zhao Yi sat up and said seriously, “If this prince loses and that monk really dies, then this life of mine will be yours! Don’t you want to avenge that monk? Feel free to come and kill me at any time, I promise not to fight back!”
Yao Qing was stunned again.
She thought of many possibilities.
The only thing that hadn’t occurred to her was that Zhao Yi was actually willing to pay for her life!
For a moment, Yao Qing unexpectedly didn’t know what to say!
Zhao Yi waved his hand, signaling Yao Qing to go back first.
“That monk shouldn’t dare to come to Shengjing City, so you can go wait for him at the mountain pass in the western mountains. If he’s still alive, he’ll definitely come out from over there!”
Yao Qing sniffed and gave Zhao Yi a deep look.
Perhaps Zhao Yi’s tone was too certain, and she actually vaguely believed in his words in her heart!
“Could it be that Jing’er really isn’t dead?” A glimmer of hope rose in Yao Qing’s heart.
Immediately!
She didn’t dare to delay any longer and quickly walked towards the door.
Huang Ying watched Yao Qing leave and turned her head to ask Zhao Yi, “Master, you’re really going to gamble with that woman’s life!”
“Right!” Zhao Yi nodded his head affirmatively.
“A great man’s word is his bond!”
“I’ve put my word out, how can I go back on my word?”
Huang Ying was doubtful, “That Boss Yao’s cultivation is not shallow, are you sure you can win against her?”
“Not sure.” Zhao Yi shook his head.
Huang Ying instantly widened her eyes, puzzled, “Since you’re not sure, then why are you still betting with her?”
“I’m not sure, but there’s still you guys!” Zhao Yi said rightfully.
“I said in the bet that if I lose, my life is hers, she can come and take it at any time and I will never fight back!”
“But I didn’t say you guys can’t fight back!”
“If I win, I can get an excellent cauldron.”
“If I lose, won’t it be over if you guys kill her ahead of time!”
“She might win, but I’ll never lose!”
Huang Ying’s face was complicated, “Master, is this okay? You’re not cheating!”
Zhao Yi twisted up a grape and put it in her mouth and smiled, “You ate my prince’s food, you are now my prince’s accomplice! Send someone to keep an eye on Yao Qing, don’t let her get away before the bet is over!”
