The Evil King's Favorite: The Princess Is Too Cruel

Su Qingning was very sensitive to the resentment of the three Chiwangliang towards her, and she knew that they would definitely not accept it, but she didn't care, because now the life and death of the master of the Dark Pavilion was in her control, and she believed that they would handle it.

"Knock knock knock..." Su Qingning tapped her hands gently on the table. She looked at the owner of the dark pavilion and asked, "What's your name?"

The owner of the dark pavilion lowered his head and replied respectfully, "Miss Third, my name is Yuebai."

Moon white?

Su Qingning raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Yuebai with a strange look. His name clearly contained the character "bai", but he dressed entirely in black and created a killer organization called "An Ge". Did he not like his own name?

Although Su Qingning's mind was full of wild thoughts, she didn't show it on her face. She looked at Yue Bai expressionlessly and continued to ask, "How many people are there in the Dark Pavilion?"

Yue Bai thought for a moment before answering, "The Dark Pavilion is an assassin organization I founded. Under me are the Four Ghost Guards, followed by the Ten Shadow Guards, as well as twenty Heaven-level assassins, fifty Earth-level assassins, one hundred Mysterious-level assassins, and two hundred Yellow-level assassins, for a total of three hundred and thirty-four people."

"Well, not bad." Su Qingning nodded with slight satisfaction.

"But..." Yue Bai changed his tone and looked at Su Qingning with a complicated expression. He said with some regret: "I sent two groups of people to the Su family to assassinate you, the third lady, but they didn't come back. I guess you killed them all!"

"Uh..." Su Qingning was stunned, a rare flicker of guilt flashing across her eyes. She coughed awkwardly twice and said, "Ahem... We didn't kill them all. There are still five people alive."

Hearing this, Yuebai looked up at Su Qingning in surprise. He really didn't expect that five of the twenty killers were still alive. It seemed that his young master was not so cold-blooded.

Before Yuebai could inquire about the five surviving killers, Su Qingning changed the subject.

"Yuebai, who is the person who wants to trade with you to buy my life?" Su Qingning asked coldly.

When this was mentioned, Yue Bai gnashed his teeth in hatred. If it weren't for that deal, he would never have provoked Su Qingning, and he would not have been forced to sign a master-servant contract and end up becoming someone else's slave.

"Miss Third, it's the Su family's second wife, Liu Ruyan." When Yuebai mentioned the three words "Liu Ruyan", his tone was obviously heavier, with a hint of gnashing of teeth.

"Oh! It's her!" Su Qingning sneered, showing an expression of "as expected". Obviously, she had suspected Liu Ruyan a long time ago, but she just had no evidence.

"Um..." Yuebai knew he was in the wrong. He looked at Su Qingning with a hint of apology and asked hesitantly, "Miss San, do you need to cancel the transaction?"

"No need." Su Qingning waved her hand and asked again: "How many spirit coins did she spend to buy my life?"

"Uh..." Yuebai scratched his head and stretched out four fingers with a guilty conscience, "Four million gold coins, four lives."

Four lives? Su Qingning was stunned for a moment, then she realized that these four lives probably referred to herself, her mother Yun Ruopiao, her brother Su Qingyu, and Aunt Zhang.

Thinking of this, Su Qingning's face immediately turned cold, and her eyes flashed with strong murderous intent. She didn't expect Liu Ruyan to be so vicious that she wanted to kill their entire family and even spared an ordinary person like Aunt Zhang.

"Oh! Four million gold coins, that's really a big deal." Su Qingning said in a sarcastic tone. She had tried her best to get Liu Ruyan to take out the spiritual coins that their family had earned in the past four years, but it was only 300,000 gold coins. But the other party could casually take out four million gold coins to buy the lives of their family. This was really ironic.

"Yuebai, because of this mission, the Dark Pavilion lost more than a dozen assassins. Do you think you should go to my second aunt to ask for compensation?" Su Qingning said with a smile, her eyes flashing with obvious calculation and malice.

Ha! You're talking as if you weren't the one who killed those dozen assassins.

Yuebai rolled her eyes inwardly, but nodded respectfully, "Miss San is right. I should indeed go talk to Madam Su Er."

"Yeah." Su Qingning nodded, very satisfied with Yuebai's cooperation. She reminded him, "Remember to ask for more compensation, the more the better."

"Yes, I understand." Yuebai nodded in response, but the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably. He also had a new understanding of Su Qingning in his heart, that is, she was a black-bellied person.

Now that the matter was resolved, Su Qingning planned to go back, but before leaving, she had one thing to inform Yuebai.

"Oh, by the way, I want Xuan Shiyi's five killers. Let them stay in Jinyuan as guards!" Su Qingning said.

Yue Bai was stunned for a moment, then quickly nodded after realizing what was happening. "Okay, if Third Miss wants you to stay, then stay! It's a blessing for them to be liked by you, Third Miss."

Yuebai flattered Su Qingning just right, and then asked flatteringly, "Aren't five guards a bit too few? Would you like to pick some more, Miss?"

Upon hearing this, Su Qingning immediately began to think seriously about it. She would be in seclusion for the next three months to practice and would not be able to distract herself to protect other people in Jinyuan. The Su family was in crisis everywhere, and she really needed a group of people to protect her mother and Xiaoyu and the others.

"Okay." Su Qingning accepted Yuebai's suggestion, "Then please, Yuebai, pick a group of people and send them to Jinyuan!"

"Yes." Yue Bai nodded and assured, "Don't worry, Third Miss, I will take care of it and send the person to the Su family tomorrow."

"Well, please."

Su Qingning responded and then left Baihua Tower with Jiuwei.

……

On the other side, Mo Lintian and others were resting in a cave.

The temperature in the forest was a little low at night, so Mo Lintian and the other four built a small fire in the cave.

The five people gathered around a small fire to keep warm and rest, but Mo Lintian couldn't fall asleep.

He gently rubbed the porcelain bottle in his hand, and the scene of saying goodbye to Su Qingning that day emerged in his mind.

Thinking of Su Qingning's unconcealed concern for him at that time, Mo Lintian couldn't help but start to think more.

Xiao Ning'er actually has me in her heart, right? Does she like me?

Mo Lintian was so absorbed in the question of whether Su Qingning liked him that he didn't notice Qi Runyu, who had his back to him, turned around.

Seeing Mo Lintian in a daze with something in his hand, Qi Runyu immediately became curious.

"Lintian, what's that in your hand? Let me see it!"

As he said that, Qi Runyu went straight to snatch the porcelain bottle from Mo Lintian's hand, and Mo Lintian was not paying attention and was actually snatched away by him.

"It turns out to be just a porcelain bottle! I thought it was something valuable!"

Qi Runyu curled his lips indifferently, then reached out to pull the cork out of the porcelain bottle.
