29 Who's next?

"Is that all?" Yu asked lazily.

"It's fine if you don't want to tell me." Xuanmei said, sounding sincere and convincing.

"I'll take the deal. Sorry, friend. Not willing to reveal something so easily."

"Ah, I see."

After saying that, Xuanmei, while walking away, suddenly turned and tried to pin 'Yu' to the tree, a dagger at her neck.

However, 'Yu' dodged, sticking out her leg, whistling innocently as Xuanmei was unable to stop in time, flipping and jumping off the bark of the tree back onto the ground.

"Sorry, I don't really advise you in doing that, yeah?"

A dangerous glint lit up in Yu's eyes as her eyes narrowed in slight anger and annoyance.

"If you wanted my name, you could've just said so, dear! That's because even if you do ask, threaten, or kill me, unfortunately, my name is not that easy to earn." Yu retorted.

The daring shadow disappeared without a trace gracefully, Baize running to report to Liu Huangzhou.

Indigo blue flames shot itself at Yu, in which Helian countered with a red coloured water, like roses that are red, beautiful and sweet but prick you so heavily you bleed, the evil flower reaping and blooming because of the sweet metallic substance, drowning in the colour that you see when you get mad.

Both evaporated without a trace, the water engulfing the flame that evaporated it from the inside.

"So, where to?"

'This barely grown girl changed her tone of voice so quickly!'

Deep down, respect had bloomed for Yu. Whom Xuanmei cannot beat, she would try her hardest to surpass.

"However, before we go on an 'adventure' and all that, let me just warn you, that your uncle is still alive and kicking. Not only that, he's planning to assassinate you. They are now currently thirty meters away from our location. Good luck!"

With that, Yu jumped onto the tree and concealed her presence.

'This girl is just going to let me fight alone though knowing that I have no cultivation?'

"You should be able to take them on. They're quite weak," and with that being said, not long after Yu's voice faded, a group of thuggish brutes dressed in black appeared, all menacingly carrying something sharp or blunt with good strength.

"Your fighting ability test starts, now!"

As Xuanmei reached for her weapon, the dagger she had used to try to threaten Yu, she had realised that it was gone.

As a group of four approached Xuanmei, she dodged the oncoming weapon attacks, grabbing a laid-back guy's hand, flipping him over and pushing his acupuncture point, making him release his weapon; A small, more miniature version of a butcher's knife.

Holding it up with confidence, she looked at the three other thugs that we're being cheered on by seven of their comrades sitting in a corner.

The one on the ground was still alive, and had to be kept alive.

Xuanmei threw the knife right at the second brute's chest, hitting the target without her even aiming.

"Now, who's next?"
