Having come this far, Ru Yue knew she couldn't continue to push back. However, some things needed to be made clear. After all, the other party was powerful, and if she mishandled the situation, it might cause her unnecessary trouble later. While she wasn't afraid of causing trouble, that didn't mean she enjoyed actively seeking it.

The smile that had once graced Ru Yue's face vanished in an instant, replaced by a solemn and serious expression. She looked at Yue Ying with a determined gaze and spoke calmly, "Miss Yue Ying, please forgive me for being frank. What we're discussing today is a business matter. I've come here to request two experts from you to guard my residence. Since I've made up my mind to come, I won't hesitate to spend the money. However..."

At this point, Ru Yue paused briefly before continuing, "Although 'Ming Yue Dian' isn't a prestigious, august mansion or business, it's definitely not a place where people can come and go as they please without any rules. Therefore, certain necessary rules and procedures must be followed. Furthermore, Miss Fengying's status within the Shadow Gate seems quite special. I'm sure you've investigated me before, so you're aware that where I am isn't a place where people can simply relax and indulge. If something unexpected happens and Miss Fengying gets hurt or encounters other problems, I truly can't take responsibility!"

These words were like a thunderclap, exploding in Yueying's ears, leaving her frozen in place. They were all intelligent people, so how could they not understand the deeper meaning behind them?

Yueying's mind was as clear as a mirror. The other party's words and deeds were simply saying: First, buying secret guards was just a piece of cake for him, and he didn't care about the money at all;

Secondly, he accepted the expert he sent because of his desperate request;

Thirdly, her territory was not the land of a wealthy and prestigious family, but it was not a place where anyone could come and go as they pleased. Everyone had to abide by her rules.

Fourthly, he didn't care at all about Fengying's status and position in the Shadow Gate. Since the Shadow Gate took the initiative to come to him and ask him to send the person to him, he would never take any responsibility if anything happened.

Originally, this should have been a good deal with no loss, but who would have thought that it would be completely ruined by that ignorant girl!

Not only that, he had lost business for no reason, but he had also lost two experts in vain. Even worse, in the end, he had lost a lot of money and owed the other party a huge favor.

Thinking of this, Yueying felt depressed and angry.

However, at this moment, the situation was stronger than anyone could handle. Even though she felt resentful, Yueying could only suppress her anger and said with a smile, "Master Meng is very magnanimous. You are able to help our Shadow Sect this time. I will definitely remember this kindness. If there is any need for our Shadow Sect in the future, just say the word and we will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

After a verbal exchange between the two, Ru Yue emerged victorious. She held Feng Ying's indenture in her hand, not looking at her anymore, and smiled again. "It's getting late, we shouldn't disturb her any further. Sister Yue Ying, please call the person up. Once you've taken the indenture and acknowledged their master, we'll go back."

Ru Yue acted as if she had planned everything for her, but in the end she lost both the wife and the army. Yue Ying was so angry that her teeth were itching, and she cursed in her heart: You stupid girl, you are so ungrateful, sooner or later you will be... beaten to death!

Ru Yue casually walked up to Feng Ying, grabbed her hand, and felt her pulse. She remained expressionless, but secretly communicated with Ah Ling through her spiritual sense. "Ah Ling, that girl seems to have internal injuries. Do you have any medicine to treat her?"

A Ling hadn't communicated with Ru Yue for some time, but their contractual relationship allowed him to know everything about Ru Yue. "Sister, this is for you. It can heal her internal injuries."

Ru Yue concealed the excitement in her eyes. Using the cover of her sleeve pocket, she took the pill from A Ling and handed it to Feng Ying. "You just forced your acupuncture points and hurt yourself. This pill can heal your internal injuries. Take it first."

Seeing that Ru Yue was kind to Feng Ying, Yue Ying felt relieved and called out, "An Yi, An Er."

As soon as the words fell, two gentle landing sounds were heard, and then two dark figures appeared in the hall like ghosts. Everyone looked closely and saw that the two figures were almost the same height and build, neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin. A closer look at their faces was filled with amazement: they were actually a pair of almost identical twins! Their faces were as if cast from the same mold, with no difference in their eyebrows, eyes, mouths, or noses, making it impossible to tell which was older.

At this time, Yueying said: "Master Meng, these two are the most powerful people in my Shadow Sect. Today, I will give them to you. I have no other request, only that you treat Fengying well." When she said this, her words were sincere and her tone was sincere, and her eyes revealed deep expectation.

After saying that, she slowly stretched out her hands and respectfully presented the two copies of An Yi and An Er's indentures to Meng Xiaodong.

Seeing this, An Yi and An Er exchanged a glance and, in unison, pulled out two small, exquisite daggers from their pockets. Without hesitation, they raised their hands and, with lightning speed, slashed their wrists. In an instant, blood gushed out like a fountain, splashing onto the ground in a shocking mass of blood.

However, even so, they did not even frown, as if they did not feel any pain at all.

Then, they both knelt on one knee and shouted in unison: "Abandon blood and seek a new realm, the shadows will cut off the old traces, An Yi (An Er) will recognize the master." The moment the words fell, they each used their blood-stained fingers to gently press the Cunkou pulse on Ru Yue's left wrist, because that was where the heart was, symbolizing loyalty.

Fengying swallowed the strangely fragrant pill without hesitation. Her pale face quickly took on a faint blush, as delicate and charming as a petal gently touched by a spring breeze. At that moment, the urge to slit her wrists and draw blood in recognition of her master vanished without a trace.

She stepped forward lightly, her posture elegant and dignified, came in front of Ru Yue, bowed respectfully, and said softly: "Fengying thanks the master for the medicine." Her tone was solemn, but her beautiful eyes blinked at Ru Yue mischievously, revealing a playful look in her eyes that was completely different from before.

That’s right, Ru Yue was sure that she was not wrong. This seemingly innocent little girl seemed to be much more interesting than what she showed on the surface!

After their mission was successfully completed, Chu Ning'an and Ru Yue didn't linger. They bid farewell to Yueying and then, together with Fengying, walked out of the Dark Shadow Gate. This time, they didn't choose to retrace their steps through the bustling, bustling, and dazzling Flower Street. Instead, they followed closely behind An Yi and the others, following a little-known, hidden path. This winding path, lined with green trees, seemed particularly quiet and mysterious.

As soon as they exited the gate, Chu Ning'an summoned An Yi to his side and leaned over to whisper a few words in his ear. After listening to his master's instructions, An Yi nodded slightly to indicate his understanding. Then, with a flash of his figure, he instantly blended into the boundless darkness like a ghost, and soon disappeared without a trace.

After watching An Yi leave, Chu Ning'an turned around and took An Er and Feng Ying back to the backyard of "Ming Yue Dang".
