step by step

Chapter 116 The Method of Compromise
She suddenly realized that what Ye Zhaoyan said was true.

She really can do anything!

She looked at Steward Xue not far away for help.

Steward Xue at the side saw this, a trace of fear flashed across his face.

He hurriedly ordered several people to hold the unconscious Ye Fugui hostage and escort him to Ye Zhaoyan.

Not far away, Lian Luo and the others saw this and wanted to get away but were distracted by the fierce attack.

"Miss" Steward Xue saw Ye Zhaoyan's murderous expression, his heart trembled, and he couldn't help but take a few steps back.

"What do you want to do?!" Ye Zhaoyan let go of Mrs. Xue slightly, and drew out the long sword with one free hand.

The women were so frightened that they almost couldn't help Ye Fugui.

Madam Xue felt that the severe pain on her neck eased, and seeing Ye Fugui in their hands again, she felt a little relieved.

She knew that Ye Zhaoyan didn't dare to do anything to her again.

After all, her weakness lies in Ye Fugui.

"Zhaoyan, if you don't let me go, your mother will be in trouble!" Mrs. Xue pretended to be calm, her eyes were full of sarcasm.

As she spoke, she watched Ye Zhaoyan's expression from the corner of her eye.

But Ye Zhaoyan looked at her contemptuously, as if looking at a fool.

"I hate it most when others use their close relatives to threaten them. Grandma, you have to bear the consequences for what you did wrong!"

Ye Zhaoyan's voice seemed to come from Jiuyou, with a creepy chill.

Mrs. Xue's heart trembled when she heard this.

At this moment, a sword struck Ye Zhaoyan silently, extremely fast!

Sensing the danger, Ye Zhaoyan turned sideways to avoid the fatal blow.

Mrs. Xue broke free from the restraint in an instant, and scrambled back a few steps to hide.

Ye Zhaoyan looked at the person who had sneaked up on her just now, met a pair of eyes as cold as stars, and felt his heart tremble suddenly.

Looking at the handsome and magnificent young man in front of her, she didn't feel any charm in her heart, she just felt cold all over her body, as if she was on an ice peak, the temperature around her dropped a lot, making her shivering.

Ji Sinian failed in one move and did not make another move, but quietly stared at Ye Zhaoyan, his eyes full of dignity.

Xue Zhiyan, who came afterward, frowned in the crowd, and couldn't help but secretly regret that she thought Ji Sinian could subdue Ye Zhaoyan in an instant.

"Si Nian, Zhaoyan is crazy, and wants to assassinate Laoshang! Subdue her quickly! Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous!" Mrs. Xue said in a deep voice, with a bit of insidiousness in her eyes.

Ji Sinian looked at the unconscious Ye Fugui beside him, and fell silent.

Needless to say, he could guess the clues of the current situation.

He formed an alliance with Xue Huaidan for a short time, and he was supposed to protect his mother, but Xue Huaidan is not here now, and Ye's mother and daughter are in danger.
"Si Nian, what are you still doing there?! Hurry up and subdue this evil obstacle!"

Seeing that he hadn't acted for a long time, Mrs. Xue became angry from embarrassment, and couldn't help shouting, her tone full of urgency.

Ji Sinian didn't leave.

Ye Zhaoyan has a special meaning to him.

The figure of the girl in the wedding gown leaving that day is still imprinted in his mind.

It wasn't until she was taken away that he realized that Ye Zhaoyan was different from the past in his heart.

These days, he searched everywhere for her whereabouts, and even made many preparations to take her out of Jindu.

He originally wanted to make it clear to her on the way to find Ye Zhaoyan, so that she could marry him with peace of mind.

But now he was in trouble.

He knew very well in his heart that if he helped Mrs. Xue trap Ye's mother and daughter today, Ye Zhaoyan would probably hate him and would not be able to marry him sincerely.

But if they help Ye Zhaoyan deal with Mrs. Xue, not only will there be many obstacles on the way back to the south of the Yangtze River, but Xue Huaidan will definitely take revenge on them.

For a while, Ji Sinian was in a dilemma.

Ye Zhaoyan looked at the boy and smiled coldly.

Although Ji Sinian didn't speak, his eyes already expressed it clearly.

This person is still right and wrong.

There is no cure.

Seeing that Ji Sinian refused to do anything, Mrs. Xue couldn't help being furious, and cursed angrily: "What? Do you want to betray the master?! You won't even ignore your mother, right?!"

Mrs. Liu was also supplied with medicine by the Xue family.

Mrs. Xue's words were like pouring a basin of cold water, which completely extinguished the burning flame in Ji Sinian's heart, allowing him to completely regain his senses.

He gently drew out his long sword, and looked at Ye Zhaoyan with firm eyes, "Follow me back to Jiangnan for a while, and I will send you out of the house."

Now there is only this one compromise.

After Ye Zhaoyan fled, Mrs. Xue was very anxious. In order to bribe him and catch Ye Zhaoyan back, she had already given him a lot of medicinal materials.

Much less worries.

As long as he brought his mother and Ye's mother and daughter to the border of Jiangnan, Xue Huaidan's power would not be much of a threat.

"How dare you! If you leave with Ye Zhaoyan, I will have your mother imprisoned! Then don't blame me!" Mrs. Xue gritted her teeth and threatened, but she didn't have much confidence in her heart.

She knew that Ji Sinian was only worried about those few precious herbs and the paper-thin covenant between the two parties.

Ye Zhaoyan looked at Ji Sinian, his eyes were full of sarcasm, the sword in his hand pointed directly at Ji Sinian, his eyes were cold and heartless, as if the long sword in his hand was not pointing at a living person, but a corpse.

She tapped her toes lightly on the ground, her figure quickly approaching him, and the long sword in her hand pierced his chest like lightning.

Seeing this, Ji Sinian's face suddenly turned pale, and his body suddenly leaned back, avoiding the attack.

Ye Zhaoyan missed the blow, and did not give up. Instead, he took advantage of the victory and pursued him. With a twist of his wrist, a sharp dagger went straight to his throat.

Seeing that the dagger in Ye Zhaoyan's hand was about to pierce his throat, Ji Sinian fled to the side recklessly.

Seeing Ji Sinian escape, Ye Zhaoyan jumped into the air, and landed his feet firmly on the water tank.

She looked down at Ji Sinian from a high position, her eyes were as cold as frost, and there was undisguised disdain and disdain in her eyes.

She has forgiven Ji Sinian twice, which is already considered as the best of humanity, there is no need to continue to be soft on this ulterior motive!

"Are you going to continue to help the tyrant?" Ye Zhaoyan asked coldly.

The boy opposite was still silent.

Now the two have stood at diametrically opposite angles, either you die or I die.

Only when faced with such a choice can one see what kind of person the other party is.

On the other side, Lian Luo was distracted to pay attention to Ye Zhaoyan. He was stabbed in the arm, and the blood immediately spilled on the spot.

When Ji Sinian noticed all this, he became even more anxious. If this continues, when Ye Zhaoyan and the others are defeated, he will not be able to protect her at that time.

"You go with me first!"

After Ji Sinian finished speaking, he held his sword and bullied him. The sword was so fierce that it was unstoppable.

Ye Zhaoyan hurriedly responded to the challenge, but the opponent was so aggressive that she was defeated within a few breaths.

She gasped for breath while holding on to her aching arm, and the young man's hand was firmly on her shoulder.
