Chapter 84: Fortunately, They Are A Scum
Question marks filled Xiao Yixians mind as she stared wide-eyed at Mu Li, then turned to look at Xiao Yan before shifting her gaze back to Mu Li.
Mu Li, Is your brain also malfunctioning?
Looking at Mu Lis bold and fearless appearance, Xiao Yixians mind was in a state of confusion.
No Did you really forget what Xiao Yan did this morning?
Second-Grade Magical Beasts! Xiao Yan effortlessly killed two of them! Do you honestly think this group of mercenaries, who struggle to even besiege a Second-Grade Magical Beast, can pose any threat to Xiao Yan?
At this moment, Xiao Yixian had serious doubts whether Mu Li had hit his head while sleeping and completely forgotten what had happened earlier in the morning.
It just didnt make any sense for him to make such a decision. From their very first encounter, Xiao Yixian never held a favorable opinion of the deputy leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Company, but she couldnt believe that he was a complete idiot, right?
No, something didnt add up! Wait a minute!
Xiao Yixian quickly dismissed her initial speculation. Mu Li definitely remembered! He definitely remembered Xiao Yans strength!
Otherwise, he wouldnt have targeted her earlier, and he wouldnt have tried to prevent Xiao Yan from leaving!
Mu Li had a deep understanding of Xiao Yans power, which instilled a profound fear within him, preventing him from confronting Xiao Yan. He didnt even dare to inquire about what Xiao Yan had obtained from the cave.
With the display of strength that Xiao Yan had shown earlier in the morning, he could easily annihilate them all!
But if thats the case, then why?
Xiao Yixian furrowed her brows tightly, unable to make sense of the situation no matter how much she pondered. Why would Mu Li suddenly lose his mind?
At this moment, Xiao Yixians typically sharp mind fell into confusion. She couldnt comprehend why Mu Li would act so foolishly all of a sudden.
Meanwhile, Mu Li wore a cold smirk on his face as he felt a sense of disdain towards Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan, oh Xiao Yan, I thought you were at least a person of integrity, but I never expected you to be so shamelessly deceptive.
When Xiao Yan claimed that the medicinal herb in his hand was the only thing he took from the secret chamber, he sounded extremely sincere. It didnt sound like a lie at all.
But could it be true?
Mu Li was well aware of his own despicable nature and knew that there were people in the world who possessed unwavering righteousness. However, Mu Li simply couldnt believe that someone could be so righteous to such an extent.
Both Xiao Yan and Xiao Yixian had discovered the secret chamber, yet Xiao Yan claimed to have taken only one medicinal herb from it.
Was that even possible?
Mu Li immediately concluded that Xiao Yan was lying!
But then the question arose, why would Xiao Yan lie?
Following this train of thought, combined with the extraordinary strength that Xiao Yan displayed in the morning, the answer became clear.
It was because the strength Xiao Yan showcased in the morning was nothing more than a facade!
His actual strength was no more than that of an ordinary Dou Zhe (Battle Practitioner, 2nd Level), and he had only utilized some secret medicine or technique to effortlessly kill those two Crimson Ice Serpents! It was all a ploy to establish his dominance after joining their team!
Based on Mu Lis knowledge, such methods put a heavy burden on the body and couldnt be used repeatedly within a single day.
Xiao Yixian should have already been aware of this, so she willingly let Xiao Yan leave. However, Xiao Yan chose to stay because he feared that Xiao Yixian, who knew about his true strength, would expose the truth. He wouldnt be able to escape the consequences then!
Therefore, even if he harbored reluctance deep within, he had no choice but to remain in this situation.
Afterward, Xiao Yan appeared as a peacemaker on the surface, persuading Xiao Yixian to give him a portion of the items. But in reality, it was to prevent himself from handing over the things he obtained.
Subsequently, Xiao Yan willingly handed over the Ice Spirit Blazing Grass, falsely claiming it was the only item he obtained from the secret chamber. His intention was to secure his departure while still retaining other treasures in his spatial ring. This must have been his strategy!
But how could that be possible?!
As Mu Li pieced together the puzzle, a surge of excitement overwhelmed him. He felt an immense sense of superiority, believing that his intelligence surpassed everyone elses.
Everything is mine! The treasures in their hands, the treasures in Xiao Yixians possession, and even Xiao Yixian herself!
With these riches, my Wolf Head Mercenary Company will undoubtedly reign supreme over Qingshan Town!
Envisioning this glorious future, Mu Li extended his hand and issued a stern command.
Attack! Try not to inflict severe harm on Xiao Yixian, but as for Xiao Yan, beat him to death!
Eh?! Upon hearing Mu Lis order, the mercenaries exchanged puzzled glances, hesitating as they looked at Mu Li. Senior Captain, Xiao Yans strength
Dont be afraid! Xiao Yans feat of killing those two Second-Grade Magical Beasts earlier was only possible because he used some secret medicine or technique! And whichever it was, its impossible to use it multiple times in a single day! Mu Li reassured the mercenaries with a deranged laughter, explaining, In other words, hes just an ordinary Dou Zhe (Battle Practitioner, 2nd Level) who can be easily crushed!
Upon hearing Mu Lis words, the mercenaries initially felt taken aback, but soon excitement and arrogance filled their faces, dispelling their previous timidity and fear.
Youre right The Junior Captain is right!
I said, how could a Dou Zhe (Battle Practitioner, 2nd Level) instantly kill two Second-Grade magical beasts? It turns out he used such despicable things.
Praise to the Junior Captain! He saw through that kids weakness at a glance!
As the morale of the mercenaries soared, Xiao Yixian finally grasped the situation and understood Mu Lis thought process. Her expression became extremely peculiar.
Well how should I put it
According to conventional logic, Mu Lis reasoning did make sense and had some basis. However, unfortunately
Xiao Yixian glanced casually at Xiao Yan. The person beside her was an extraordinary and utterly eccentric individual Eccentric to the extent that even witnessing it firsthand, she found it hard to believe that someone so upright could exist in this world.
Meanwhile, as Xiao Yan heard Mu Lis words and the mercenaries reactions, his expression turned completely cold.
So even if I genuinely intended to give up the items, it wouldnt have made a difference
Xiao Yan retrieved the Ice Spirit Blazing Grass into his spatial ring. Observing this, Xiao Yixian also released her grip on Xiao Yans arm and stepped back, secretly delighted that she didnt have to share the treasures with Mu Li. At the same time, she couldnt help but feel deep sympathy for Mu Li and the mercenaries before her.
You all I hope youve already made peace with your fate for undertaking this mission
Xiao Yans hand lightly touched the Heavy Black Ruler, and his eyes turned icy.
As expected, there are some people in this world with whom reasoning is impossible.
Dark energy surged once again from the depths of Xiao Yans heart. His pitch-black pupils mercilessly scorned the Wolf Head Mercenary Company in front of him as he spoke with indifference.
Setting aside whether or not I used that so-called secret medicine or technique, I can guarantee, based on my righteousness, that even if I did use them
My despicableness is far less than one-thousandth of yours.
A crimson light flashed in Xiao Yans eyes.
It emanated bone-chilling killing intent that made ones very core feel icy.
Witnessing Xiao Yans demeanor, the ring containing Yao Chen breathed a sigh of relief for successfully safeguarding the Ice Spirit Blazing Grass.
Phew~~~ Thank goodness, thank goodness
Yao Chen felt immensely fortunate.
Thank goodness these individuals are all irredeemable scum~
