He had never met anyone as stupid as him.

“What are you trying to do?” he asked, swallowing his saliva and suppressing his panic.

An Jiuyue continued to smile and asked, “What do you think?”

“You—” The guard leader clenched his fists and nearly attacked them.

However, he did not dare to do anything after receiving Qian Jiyun’s cold stare. His face flushed red in anger, and he gritted his teeth in hatred, unable to say a word.

“If I were you, I would pretend we don’t exist and don’t cause trouble. Do you understand?” An Jiuyue said, still smiling, when she saw that he had finally stopped talking.

“Don’t even think of finding an excuse to make us leave. Even someone as stupid as you, who only just realized our goals are the same, should know how to play dumb, right? After all, this should be your forte, right?”

“You—” The guard leader glared at An Jiuyue with bloodshot eyes.

However, he quickly stopped glaring because Qian Jiyun was staring at him murderously.

He left resentfully, returning to his group.

He decided to find a way to get rid of these two along the way. The strong might be respected in this world, but he could act secretly, right?

In the end, the guard leader could not chase Qian Jiyun and An Jiuyue away and allowed them to continue following his group.

This saved Young Master Nie a lot of trouble because he no longer needed to send a secret message to them. However, this did not stop him from stirring trouble with the guard leader.

“Chief, why are they still following us? Didn’t you ask them to leave?” The next morning, he asked the guard leader when he saw that Qian Jiyun and An Jiuyue had not left.

The guard leader almost lost his temper. “Do they look like they’re willing to leave?”

They were determined to stay and had even fallen out with him. He naturally did not expect them to leave.

He had figured things out overnight. Rather than having them leave openly but still tailing them in secret, it was better to let them stay under his watch.

This would give him a chance to kill them.

He stared at Qian Jiyun and An Jiuyue’s backs with a scorching stare. He had already thought of several ways to kill them.

“They’re not leaving?” Young Master Nie looked surprised.

“If they don’t leave, how are we supposed to find… that thing? Are we letting them follow us? Chief, that’s not a good idea, right? Their cultivation levels are obviously higher than ours. If they snatch that thing away, our heads will fall to the ground!”

He looked at the guard leader, fear taking over his face as he spoke.

Indeed, they would not be able to answer to the Yueming Emperor if outsiders snatched that item away.

However, if everyone here died, there would be no need for explanations.

“Do you think I don’t know that?”

The guard leader was already having a headache. He gritted his teeth in anger when he heard Young Master Nie’s words.

He did not want them to follow him either. However, they had already fallen out with each other. He could not chase them away. What could he do? “Let me ask you something.. Did you say something to them?”
