Chapter 426 - Threats

The reporters wanted to surround me, but they were stopped by the guards. The people from Dragon's Gate came to protect me as I moved towards the door.

"Nanxing!" Ye Qian's voice came from behind me.

I stopped in my tracks, turned around, and looked at her.

Ye Qian walked over in a hurry. Her hair was messy. She stopped a few steps away and looked at me coldly.

"Nanxing, do you have to be so ruthless?" Her usually gentle voice was now extremely cold.

I smiled. "Sister Ye Qian, what have I done to make you so angry? It's just a business deal. The Jing Family doesn't care about missing one. Why does Sister Ye Qian care about it so much?"

"Nanxing, don't you care about Master Qi anymore?" Ye Qian didn't answer my question.

My expression instantly turned cold. "What do you mean?"

Ye Qian finally gained the upper hand. Her expression relaxed, she said slowly, "Nanxing, I know how important Master Qi is to you, so I advise you to stop. The moment you surrender, I can guarantee you that Master Qi will be safe. However, if you continue to do this, you better consider the consequences that might befall Master Qi!"

Ye Qian stared at me without blinking.

The anger in my heart gradually rose, and I couldn't help but clench my fists. I looked up and saw an old man was practicing calligraphy. He wrote the word, 'Endure'.

I loosened my fists and looked at Ye Qian. "You do know how much Jing Tian means to me. It's right that you use him to threaten me."

Ye Qian's expression relaxed.

"But I will never forgive those who do that. Ye Qian, it feels nice that we're finally being sincere with our intention. I don't know how much your guarantee weighs, but you should know that I am a person of my words." I looked at Ye Qian and enunciated each word clearly. "I guarantee that anyone who touches Jing Tian will be slaughtered without mercy!"

I turned around at left. I couldn't be bothered with the woman.

I knew Ye Qian was a difficult person to deal with. She was intelligent and vicious. However, such was life. Since conflict was inevitable, then I would face her head-on.

But right now, I had a more important thing to do!

My gang of four escorted Old Master Jing to Ardent Flame Alliance's headquarters. Jing Ning couldn't even get close to his grandfather. 

I was surrounded by people from Dragon's Gate. They were elites trained by Gao Jing. Gao Jing stayed with Mai Qi and Jing Ni to protect them.

Gao Jing's most outstanding disciple, Xiao Yi, sat in the passenger seat. As soon as I got in the car, I asked, "Is there any news?"

Xiao Yi placed one hand on his earpiece. "Sister Xing, Master Si, and the others have succeeded. They got Master Qi out, but the fight is intense."

I nodded, "Okay, we'll go to help them. Remember, I'm forcing you to do this. If you don't, I'll jump out of the car."

Xiao Yi's expression was complicated.

They were ordered to protect me and to keep me away from the frontline. I knew they were unwilling because their brothers were all at the frontline. However, they knew they'd be punished if they disobeyed the order of my little uncle and Brother Jing. I was fulfilling their wishes.

"Sister Xing..." Xiao Yi didn't know what to say.

I patted his shoulder. "It's settled then. If you don't cooperate with me, I will raise a ruckus. In the end, you'd cave. So why go through all the hoopla that benefits no one? It's tiring. We should rest for the incoming fight. I promise not to tell on you!"

I reached out my hand to Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi hesitated and raised his hand.. I high-fived it.
