Chapter 622: It’s okay, just be more careful in your next life

While the Ye and Long families were panicking about how Qin Qing would torture them, it was the middle of the night in Nanjing.

In the living room of the Wu Family estate, Kristina stared in puzzlement at Ye Xiu, who was sitting on the sofa watching ’Ninja Warrior’.

"It’s been over twenty-four hours since I sent the Ye and Long families to Biluo Island. Why haven’t you reacted at all?" she asked. The mere thought of it made her livid. She had assumed that when Ye Xiu learned she had sent them away, he would explode with rage and then obediently become her lapdog.

But reality was completely different from what she had imagined. Upon hearing the news, Ye Xiu remained perfectly calm—so calm, in fact, that he started watching an animated series.

"What kind of reaction did you expect from me?" Ye Xiu asked, his eyes still fixed on the television.

He wasn’t watching anime because he had nothing better to do. The Earth System Ninjutsu in the show actually had an enlightening effect on his own Earth System Totem. After all, Tu La had only given Qin Qing the Totem and the method to enhance it, not how to use it.

"Didn’t you say the Ye and Long families were the most important people to you? Didn’t you say that the whole point of your life was to torture them? Now that they’re in my hands, you can’t torture them anymore. Shouldn’t you be angry or something?" Kristina truly couldn’t comprehend why Ye Xiu was so composed.

"I’ve been busy lately and don’t have time to torture them," Ye Xiu said dismissively. "I’ll get around to being angry when I actually have time for it."

Anger can be scheduled? Kristina stared at Ye Xiu’s face, then suddenly laughed. "You must be furious right now. You’re only pretending to be calm because you’re worried I’ll use the lives of the Ye and Long families to threaten you, right?"

Ye Xiu turned off the TV, stood up, and stretched lazily. "It’s late. I’m going to bed." With that, he walked toward the bedroom.

Kristina suddenly felt like her mind couldn’t keep up. Is he angry or not? If he is, I can threaten him with their lives. If he isn’t, my threats might backfire horribly.

Just then, she received a text message: "Princess, we have arrived and are heading toward the Wanjing Mountains. Please send someone to meet us."

They’ve finally arrived! Kristina sighed with relief and replied, "Spread out and infiltrate the Wanjing Mountains individually. Once you’re inside, regroup at Unparalleled Mountain."

She was worried that if the large group moved together, they would suffer the same fate as the thousand-man army that was previously massacred. After sending the text, Kristina felt exceedingly smug, thinking herself brilliant. 1,001 people, split into 1,001 separate entries, infiltrating the Wanjing Mountains from different locations—it would drive the Restorer Alliance mad. She then cheerfully left the Wu Family Fortress and headed for Unparalleled Mountain.

Meanwhile, Ye Xiu, who had already gone into his bedroom, was unaware of Kristina’s arrangement. He received a text from Gong Jin: "Young Master, 1,001 unidentified individuals have arrived at Nanjing Airport. They must be from the Eternal Kingdom."

Oh? The Eternal Kingdom really doesn’t skimp on manpower, sending over a thousand people at once.

Ye Xiu once again assumed his identity as Huang Quan and entered the Restorer Alliance chat group to share this information with Meng Yinwan and the others.

Meng Yinwan rallied all of the Restorer Alliance’s operatives in Nanjing. They were waiting for Ye Xiu to send the route the 1,001 people would take into the mountains, planning to replicate their last surprise attack and catch the group off guard. But then Ye Xiu received another text from Gong Jin: "Young Master, the 1,001 individuals didn’t head to the Wanjing Mountains together. They’ve dispersed..."

Ye Xiu was speechless. This Kristina has gotten smarter!

He replied, "Track as many of their entry routes into the mountains as you can." After sending the message, he notified Meng Yinwan. At the same time, Ye Xiu ordered all combat personnel hidden in the mountains, including the Blood Cloth Guards, to mobilize.

「At Nanjing Airport!」

A handsome young man in a white suit and white leather shoes, his hair combed to a brilliant shine, elegantly slipped into a taxi that pulled up beside him. "To the Wanjing Mountains," he said.

"Okay!" The driver nodded and started the car.

The taxi drove smoothly until it reached an intersection and was met with a sudden red light. The driver slammed on the brakes. The stop was so abrupt that the young man in the back lurched forward, his head thudding against the passenger seat. He wasn’t injured, but his meticulously styled, glistening hair was now a mess.

"Sorry, sorry! I was going to run the yellow light, but it turned red so fast. Are you alright?" the driver apologized profusely.

"It’s fine. Just be more careful in your next life," the young man said with a slight smile. With a flick of his finger, a stream of Sword Qi shot through the driver’s head.

The driver died instantly, his head slumping forward. The young man didn’t get out of the car or dispose of the body. Instead, his eyes suddenly turned a deep purple, and the taxi began to drive itself.

Purple Pupil! If Ye Xiu saw the young man’s eyes, he would undoubtedly be filled with killing intent. They were the same Purple Pupil as Chloe’s.

As the taxi drove on, the young man leaned forward and retrieved a phone from the dead driver’s pocket. He opened the call log and dialed the first number that had no name attached. Without waiting for an answer, the young man said, "I’ve killed him. I’m now on my way to Unparalleled Mountain. You can send people to intercept me. Send a lot of them; it’s no fun if there are too few to kill. Oh, by the way, my name is Lin Xin." With that, he hung up.

Back at the airport, when the taxi had approached him, Lin Xin had already sensed that the driver was not a professional but a Martial Artist. He was right. The driver was a Scout placed at the airport by Meng Yinwan, with orders to pick up Lin Xin and kill him after entering the mountains. He never expected Lin Xin to see through his disguise and kill him first.

The taxi continued until the road ended deep in the mountainous region. Only then did Lin Xin get out and proceed into the mountains on foot.

As he walked, he frowned. This is too dirty. My leather shoes and pants will get so filthy by the time I reach Unparalleled Mountain. He was obsessed with cleanliness. Dressed all in white, walking alone through the dark mountains, he was an incredibly eerie sight.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, a black-clad, masked figure suddenly leaped down from a large tree, a frigid longsword aimed straight for Lin Xin’s head.

Lin Xin simply looked up and smiled.

In that single glance, the killing intent in the masked man’s eyes vanished, replaced by a dull, lifeless stare. He fell to the ground with a thud.

"No need for such grand formalities at our first meeting. Get up," Lin Xin said with a smile.

The man in black rose woodenly to his feet. Lin Xin leaped onto the man’s shoulders.

"Let’s go. Take me to Unparalleled Mountain," he said. "Tsk, tsk. Using a person as a ride... this is a first for me. But at least my shoes and pants will stay clean."

Carrying Lin Xin on his shoulders, the man in black began to sprint toward Unparalleled Mountain. Lin Xin didn’t bother asking the man’s name, his identity, or if he had allies. He couldn’t be bothered to speak with such an ant; it would only dirty his mouth.

Fortunately for him, he didn’t ask. If the man in black had revealed he was sent by Meng Yinwan, Kristina would have instantly deduced that Ye Xiu had never killed Meng Yinwan.

In that case, Qin Qing and Leng Yue, all the way on Biluo Island, would have been in grave danger.
