Long Feiye hadn’t even asked where Grand Concubine Yi was before the younger woman gave it away. Her threat seemed full of confidence. Unfortunately, Long Feiye simply treated her like air: completely invisible. Even Lady Leng Yue felt ashamed for the young woman’s sake. She chuckled and said, “I certainly can. However, will your lordship’s price be offering a higher price than this woman?”

“How does the entire City of Daughters sound?” Long Feiye said as if offering a reward.

Lady Leng Yue grew incensed. “Long Feiye, what do you mean by this?”

“Kill her and hand over Grand Concubine Yi and your lordship will consider sparing the City of Daughters. Otherwise...shoulder the consequences!” Long Feiye threatened.

Anyone who dared to invade his estate and steal away Grand Concubine Yi would make him a laughingstock once news of it spread. How many more would think of targeting the Duke of Qin’s estate then? After all, the jianghu was a land of crouching tigers and hidden dragons. There were too many unseen dangers at prowl. He had to make the City of Daughters pay as a way to warn any idiots in the martial arts circles. Although he hadn’t gone to Celestial Mountain yet, he didn’t mind destroying the City of Daughters first. Cloud Realm Continent’s jianghu could be sent into an uproar first for all he cared.

Lady Leng Yue sucked in a cold breath. “Long Feiye, don’t be so supercilious. Today, your ladyship will teach you a lesson in minding your words!”

As she drew her sword, the young woman suddenly stopped her with a murmur. “Did you forget what you promised me?”

Lady Leng Yue really had forgotten after Long Feiye enraged her. “Don’t worry. Your ladyship is merely teaching him a lesson. He’ll have a better sense of propriety then!”

But the young woman only clutched onto her hand and muttered, “Lady Leng Yue, want to try and betray our contract? Do you believe that I’ll blurt out the truth? Would you want to ruin the City of Daughters’ reputation?”

What was the truth?

That it wasn’t the young woman who hired Lady Leng Yue at all, but that Lady Leng Yue had kidnapped Grand Concubine Yi first, then made a deal with her. The City of Daughters dealt in assassinations, but they only accepted offers before moving to act. They would always wait for the customer to approach them first, not the other way around. If news of this “deal” got out, then the City of Daughters would lose their reputation utterly. All of the jianghu would disdain them--especially Carefree City, who’d see them as a laughingstock.

Finally regaining her senses, Lady Leng Yue turned to Long Feiye with a cold tone. “Doing business with your ladyship is acceptable, but finish up this deal first!”

So speaking, she moved to stand behind the younger woman. Finally in the spotlight again, the young woman asked coldly, “Long Feiye, we had a deal. You would come by yourself with the Profound Frost Sword in exchange for the hostage. What do you mean by this? Don’t you want to see Grand Concubine Yi anymore?”

Long Feiye finally deigned to look at the woman, his pupils brimming with...disgust!

“How do you know that your lordship isn’t holding the Profound Frost Sword right now?” he retorted. Although it was true he hadn’t brought the weapon, this sword looked very similar to the real thing. Only someone familiar with the original would be able to tell the difference.
