Chapter 207: I’m Not That Stupid
"So it’s truly an antidote," the young man murmured. He sat down and circulated his Eon Energy, trying his best to suppress the poison and dissolve it with the help of the antidote that Ye Jiao gave to him.
On the side, Ye Jiao sighed to herself. Finally, the boy cald down. She had just thought that he would never be able to calm down and continued to attack her.
If one tried to think of this matter in the boy’s perspective, there was no way he would trust a stranger that ca to him right away. Not to ntion, Ye Jiao knew about the secret manual, which ant that she ca from Bao Fu Organization. Unless one was an idiot, they would not trust her easily.
’But, he’s really powerful.’
Ye Jiao moved her arm that she used to parry his blade. It was just an attack, but the force behind it left her speechless. If she was blocking it, she doubted that she would be able to stay alive.
She didn’t understand. Was Eon Energy Master rank 3 normally has that much physical power in their body?
Trying not to think too much, Ye Jiao sat down and circulated her Eon Energy to practice.
"Have you finished?"
Once the boy opened his eyes, he could hear the girl ask him the question. Seeing the young girl sitting on the edge of the cave without any intention to get close to him made him realize that she didn’t have any intention to harm him. If she wanted to, it would be easy to wound him when he was focused completely on recovering his body.
"You’re a weird assassin."
Ye Jiao arched her eyebrows. "Is that supposed to be the first thing you say to ?"
The young man crossed his arm. "You don’t know who I am, yet you help . You co from Bao Fu Organization but you let
get away without killing . Don’t you know how much the reward for my head is?"
"They prize it for a White Jade."
"White Jade? Don’t you want it?" The young man narrowed his eyes. This item was sothing that every Eon Energy Master rank 3 would want because of how it could help them to advance.
"I do, but not from them," Ye Jiao shrugged. "Besides, I’m still young, so there might be other chances for
to get one during my ti traveling. There’s no need to be so fixated in this one."
"It’s a rare item."
"I know."
"You’re a truly weird one," the young man looked at Ye Jiao with furrowed brows. "Also, didn’t you break your vows if you let
off?"
Vow?
Ye Jiao didn’t recall any vow she had made in the past. If anything, she had never even made any promise aside from the one she gave to her mother. However, she seed to have heard about this vow from sowhere...
"Are you talking about the vow that children have to take after they got out of Hell Island?"
"Yes."
"I didn’t make one," Ye Jiao shrugged. "I’m a disciple of an Eon Energy Master rank 4, so there’s no need for
to make the vow."
To ensure the loyalty of the children in the organization, they were forced to make a vow once they finished the first part of the training. The only ones exempted from this would be those who already have master or co because of their master. At tis, their master wanted their children to make the vow to them instead.
The young man looked at Ye Jiao in disbelief. "The one I fought..."
"I don’t know him."
"The guardian of the other part of the secret manual...."
"Not him."
At Ye Jiao’s answer, the young man fell into silence. The only two masters known from Bao Fu Organization were those two. If it was not them, there shouldn’t be any other Eon Energy Master rank 4 in this place.
"Do you an, Zhan Jing?"
Ye Jiao’s eyes widened. "You know my master?"
"Kind of."
"I see."
The young man finally understood why Ye Jiao didn’t even bother following Bao Fu Organization’s rules. Zhan Jing did not originally co from this place and the reason that man ca here was more complicated than the others. He wouldn’t bother forcing his disciple to take the oath or vow.
"Why do you help ?" the young man decided to ask.
Ye Jiao pointed to the young man’s storage bracelet. "I want to look at the secret manual that you stole."
"...You know that you can access my storage bracelet once I die, right?"
"if you die, I won’t be able to get the other half," Ye Jiao grinned. "You’re powerful enough to be able to contend against Eon Energy Master rank 4 and since you take the first half, I’m sure that you’re going to take the other one."
The young man looked at the girl before him. This girl was not as strong as him because he had seen how she was staying careful near him. At the sa ti, she just has a much better mind compared with many other people.
The organization said that they would be able to take a look at the secret manual, but they didn’t specify whether it was the first part, second part, or the two of them. If they ended up only showing half, the other party wouldn’t be able to completely study it. In a way, it was actually a trap to let these people return back the secret manual because they would want the other half.
But at that ti, they might not be able to protect it because of the other Eon Energy Master rank 3 or even those masters themselves.
"You’re really smart for a brat."
"Like I say, I bet that I’m older than you," Ye Jiao snorted. She couldn’t believe that this young man kept on questioning that thing. Of course, she only thought about this because she heard the young man in grey robe ntioned how this young man was only Eon Energy Master rank 3.
To be able to face rank 4, it wouldn’t be easy for Eon Energy Master rank 3. Since he could do it, he might be facing so difficulties and unable to fight at full power afterwards. She was a rank lower, so she would try to make use of this chance to make a deal with this young man.
The young man arched his eyebrows. "I’m 11."
"I’m 11 too," Ye Jiao retorted.
"You’re weaker for soone at the sa age."
"Are you picking a fight, Thief?"
The young man shook his head as he shifted his position. "You shouldn’t say sothing you didn’t an. With my current prowess, you won’t be able to defeat ."
Ye Jiao sneered. "Do you really think that I’m going to let you get away if you try to kill ? I know this area much better than you, so I know what I’m doing."
If he dared try to kill her, she would not mind destroying this cave. The entrance was only propped by several rocks. Once an imbalance occurred, it would surely destroy the entire area. Besides, Ye Jiao still has a lot of poison in her storage bracelet. If this man tried to kill her, she could just throw them on the ground and poison both of them imdiately.
She won’t be able to defeat him, but restraining him here would be easy for her.
With that said, the two of them locked their gaze to one another.
