Chu Ning'an stepped forward and clasped his fists before bowing. "May I ask what your name is, young lady?"

"Haha, Mr. Chu is very smart. My name is just a code name. You can just call me Yueying." Yueying looked at the two of them and laughed uncontrollably.

"Hello, Sister Yueying." Ruyue smiled and saluted Yueying. "I'd like to invite two secret guards who are highly skilled in martial arts and good at tracking and investigating. Could you introduce them to us, Sister?"

Ru Yue saw that she was also a straightforward person, so she didn't beat around the bush with her and directly stated her purpose. Besides, it was a business relationship between two parties, so why did she need so many twists and turns?

"I'm in this business, so I have what you want. Tell me what else you want, or I can assign someone to you directly."

When it came to business matters, Yueying put away the playfulness in her eyes and became serious. But a beauty is a beauty, and her laughter, anger and anger are all beautiful. To Ruyue, it was like appreciating famous flowers and precious objects.

"In addition to being skilled in martial arts and good at tracking and spying, I want to find one man and one woman. It would be best if the woman knows how to disguise herself, dress up, and take care of people." Chu Ning'an said without hesitation, which showed that it was not a sudden idea. He had indeed always wanted to find a female bodyguard with good martial arts to protect Ru Yue closely.

"You do have a heart."

"Sister Yueying, how do I choose?" Ru Yue really had no idea. She had bought people from the pawnshop several times, but this secret guard wouldn't be sold in the same way, right? She blinked her confused eyes and stared at the charming Yueying.

"We don't have many women with high martial arts skills, so the price is naturally higher. The top ones are two thousand taels each. As for men with the same martial arts skills, they only cost one thousand taels. If you want the top ones, you'll have to pay three thousand taels."

"Then I'll have to trouble Miss Yueying to come up and take a look." Chu Ning'an said without further ado, "I want the best for a woman. Choose the one you like."

"Hehehe~" Yueying let out a series of chuckles, and a pair of slender, white and tender hands slipped out from between the fiery red sleeves. She patted them lightly three times. The sound was not loud, but it was extremely crisp and penetrating.

Not long after, five cold-looking women in black walked in. They had expressionless faces and stood quietly in front of Yueying, looking straight at Ru Yue and the other two. They didn't look like goods waiting to be sold, but more like sharp blades.

"Ruyue, go and have a look and choose one you like." Chu Ning'an said softly.

Ru Yue didn't shy away. She walked from right to left, then back again, carefully examining the faces of several young women twice. Finally, her gaze settled on the woman on the far left. She looked about her age and height. Her features weren't particularly delicate, but she possessed a rare air of heroism. Her finger pointed at her with an almost imperceptible movement, and her brows twitched slightly. How much must this girl want to go with her? Since they were all capable, she might as well choose the one who volunteered.

After figuring it out, Ru Yue didn't hesitate and pointed at the girl who winked at her and said, "Let's pick her."

Yueying looked at it and her face changed color slightly. She no longer maintained an unfathomable attitude and glared at the girl fiercely. "Master Meng, please choose again. I'll stay and train with you for a while."

Ru Yue smiled cunningly, "Sister Yueying, it's no use, I'll take her." She thought about it and knew that this girl must be special, otherwise Yueying wouldn't have changed her expression. If that was the case, she couldn't let go.

Yueying narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Ruyue, with naked danger in her eyes. She turned to look at the girl and glared at her again with anger. Just as she was about to speak, she didn't expect the girl to speak, "Thank you for not abandoning me, Master. Fengying would like to express her gratitude."

As soon as the girl finished speaking, she took out a piece of paper from her sleeve and handed it to Ru Yue, "This is Fengying's indenture, please accept it."

She spoke quickly and urgently, not giving Yueying a chance to interrupt. Yueying was so angry that she frowned and snatched the thing from her hand.

Seeing this, Ru Yue quickly withdrew her hand, moved her feet lightly, and avoided Yueying's attack.

Yueying didn't expect her to be so agile, and was also slightly stunned. Just as she was stunned, the girl had taken out a short dagger and cut her wrist. This action scared everyone. Chu Ning'an hurriedly pulled Ru Yue behind him, fearing that she would be accidentally injured by the two of them.

Yueying's red sleeves fluttered as she attacked Fengying. Her moves looked fierce, but anyone could see that she was aiming for Fengying's dagger. Fengying was not vague either, and her slender figure moved nimbly. She did not resist Yueying's moves head-on, but moved around the hall with ease. For a moment, Yueying really couldn't do anything to her.

The two exchanged fists and palms at high speed, their clothes fluttering, and the fight was very vigorous. However, even Ru Yue, an outsider, could see that they only looked impressive and there was not much strength in them. The two palms met and landed on either side of the center of the hall. Feng Ying was about to slash my wrist with the dagger in my hand, but Yue Ying shouted angrily, "Stop."

Blood was already dripping from Fengying's wrist. She chanted loudly, "Abandon blood and seek a new realm, Shadow cuts off the old trace, Fengying recognizes..." Before she could finish, Yueying used all her strength to attack her. Just when she was busy, Yueying succeeded and pressed her acupoints.

Yueying was trembling with anger, but seemed helpless. She clasped her fists and bowed to Ruyue, "Master Meng, please forgive me for making fun of you. I'll give you two of the best ones at half price. As for this one, please take it home to entertain yourself, but please give her freedom and let her come and go as she pleases."

Ru Yue and Chu Ning'an both guessed that Feng Ying's identity was not simple, but they didn't expect that they would force Yue Ying into a desperate situation. Although she had not behaved rudely since they came in, she had never treated them with courtesy. But at this moment, she bowed her head to them.

Fengying was frozen in place, his face filled with anxiety and anger, his eyebrows and eyes squeezed to the point of being distorted.

"Since Sister Yueying said so, I shouldn't have refused. But my place isn't a place where anyone can come and go as they please, so I don't want this person anymore." Ru Yue was both willing and unwilling, but her tone was firm, yet her words were soft as a drop of water. "Sister, if you can recruit someone else, I'll make a new choice. I won't make it difficult for you."

"No." Fengying spat out a mouthful of blood. In order to stop Yueying and Ruyue's thoughts, she actually forced her way through the acupuncture points. She stumbled towards Ruyue, stretched out her cut wrist and was about to recognize Ruyue as her master.

"Alas!" Yueying sighed heavily and had to retreat. "Master Meng, I'll give you two secret guards. Please help me take care of this. I've already given you her indenture, so there's no need for her to be recognized as my master. If she wants to leave one day, as long as she doesn't cause any trouble to Master Meng, please give her back her freedom."

All the complacency on her face had faded, leaving only helplessness and shame.
