Black Book

Chapter 370 Liu Ruyan

The swan-like white and slender neck was forced to be raised high, and a dark black eight-sided Han sword was suspended in front of the woman, with the tip of the sword emitting a chilling air pressed one centimeter outside her throat.

The icy sword energy penetrated into her body, causing her scalp to go numb and goose bumps to appear on her fair skin.

Her whole body was as stiff as a stone, and she didn't even dare to move her little finger. She had a clear premonition that if she overreacted, the sword in front of her would instantly chop her off.

"Run, why don't you run?"

Accompanied by teasing whispers behind her, the dark eight-sided Han sword slowly moved forward against her throat, forcing the woman to retreat step by step.

He retreated to the dining table, and the terrifying sword was removed from his neck. It stood upright and hovered one meter above the ground like a guard.

Gollum~
After swallowing her saliva, the murderous intent that was stuck in her throat dissipated slightly. The woman's tense nerves gradually relaxed, and she looked at the young man in black with indignation.

Scholars can be killed but not humiliated!
"plum……"

boom!
Zhu Haomiao slammed the table suddenly and interrupted with a sneer.

"What do you mean? You are just a runaway slave, and you dare to speak to your master like that?!"

"???!"

When did I become a fugitive slave?!

Just as the woman's eyes widened in confusion, Zhu Haomiao grinned meaningfully.

"I, Feng Zhaobai, spent a lot of money to buy you. You took advantage of my inattention and escaped from the imperial capital brothel. If you dare to use the same trick again, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Feng Zhaobai? ! !
Aren’t you Li Lin, Duke of Yu?
Blinking in confusion, the woman saw the shopkeeper peeking around the corner from the corner of her eye, and an idea flashed in her mind.

This guy changed his name and lurked in Xiangdu!

What does he want to do?!

Got it!

Tiandu Summit!

The woman's pupils shrank and she suddenly realized.

The only thing that could make the commander-in-chief of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Duke Yu, infiltrate Xiangdu in person was the [Tiandu Summit] which was specially convened to discuss how to deal with the pressure from the imperial court!

Immediately, the woman couldn't help but feel shocked by Li Lin's boldness.

You know, by then almost all the underworld forces will gather at Tiandu Peak, and the main topic of discussion will be how to kill the Jinyiwei and how to kill Duke Yu!
If Li Lin's identity is exposed at this time...

hiss!
Is he really not afraid of being attacked by heroes all over the world?

The woman secretly took a deep breath and looked at the calm young man in black. She felt that this guy acted eccentrically and arrogantly, and it was impossible to guess what he was thinking.

On the other side, Zhu Haomiao sneered coldly when he noticed the woman's frightened and fearful gaze.

"Ruyan, are you dissatisfied?"

hum~
Reflecting the owner's intention, the eight-sided Han sword suspended at the side trembled slightly, causing a crisp and sharp sword sound, which scared the woman so much that she instinctively shrank her neck.

A chill came from the back of her neck, as if she was on the guillotine with the blade hanging behind her head. The woman hunched her shoulders, with an aggrieved expression that made me feel pity for her.

"My name is not Ruyan..."

Even if the disciples of the Holy Church are not particular about trivial matters, they will not use their real names when they are cultivating their minds in brothels!

However, the young man in black ignored her pitiful look that was enough to melt most men, and waved his hand coldly and contemptuously.

"Your real name means nothing to me. You are what I call you."

"From now on, you will be called Ruyan, um... your surname is Liu, Liu Ruyan."

"........."

The young man casually decided his own name, and his words that would not be challenged contained a domineering and cruel strength. The attitude that inadvertently revealed that he regarded her as a straw dog made the woman angry, scared, and sad. For the first time, she felt the despair and powerlessness of life and death being in the hands of others.

"Like smoke."

Listening to the young man's gentle call, the woman felt torn between her conscience and her desires. Finally, she glanced at the black eight-sided Han sword floating beside her, ready to strike, and drooped her shoulders with a dead heart.

"The slave family is here."

As soon as the words of compromise came out, the woman...or Liu Ruyan's heart seemed to break, and her bright eyes became slightly dim.

Realizing that he had planted an indelible demon in the woman's heart, Zhu Haomiao curled up the corners of his mouth imperceptibly.

"Sit down and eat together."

"Yes."

Seeing Liu Ruyan sitting there in a daze, following his orders like a broken doll, Zhu Haomiao laughed and shook his head, then asked in a secret voice.

"You are this generation's Holy Maiden of the Demon Cult, right?"

When the word "Demon Sect" was mentioned, Liu Ruyan's empty and dull eyes gradually came back to her senses. She was too lazy to correct him that it was the Holy Sect instead of the Demon Sect, and nodded bitterly.

"Yes."

"Then do you know any inside information about your Tiandu Summit?"

Hearing this, Liu Ruyan sneered at herself and said nothing more.

"There is no inside information. They are just a bunch of rabble. Even if we let them hold the Tiandu Summit ten times, nothing will come of it!"

"Oh? Why?"

"In the past, the Tiandu Summit was an internal meeting of the Holy Church. It had coercive power, and once a result was reached, it would be enforced."

"But this time, they imitated the righteous way to hold a martial arts leader conference. The people who came were frightened by the court's behavior and were forced to stick together for warmth..."

Having said that, Liu Ruyan glanced at the young man in black and spoke with resentment.

"These people all have ulterior motives and pretend to obey but secretly disobey. The Holy Church does not have enough power to force them to implement the meeting results..."

"No... There is no way this meeting will produce any results. People in the underworld are all self-centered. This time they are just banding together for warmth, just their instinctive reaction to seek psychological comfort. Once it comes to specific execution and touching upon their interests, they will argue endlessly."

While murmuring, Liu Ruyan shook her head faintly.

"A pile of scattered sand is not worth planning with."

Noticing Liu Ruyan's genuine contempt, Zhu Haomiao looked at her with admiration.

This girl is clearly "in the same boat", but she can jump out of her own barriers, look at the problem from a higher perspective, and come to the same conclusion as her own, which shows that she has an extraordinary vision.

After careful observation and sensing, Zhu Haomiao caught a subtle breath of destiny from her and immediately smiled with relief.

Yin Kejun also has a similar aura, which is a symbol of being favored by heaven.

The equivalent of the Destiny Child in the reserve force.

But unlike Zhao Nuo, the designated 'protagonist of destiny', they are merely 'supporting roles' on the stage of fate and may not necessarily have a good ending in the turbulent tide of the times.

wrong!

The river of fate is unpredictable. From a larger perspective, even Zhao Nuo may not be the 'protagonist of destiny'.

When national destinies collide and destiny overtakes each other, the winner becomes the king and the loser becomes the bandit!
Zhu Haomiao suddenly understood and nodded thoughtfully, looking at Liu Ruyan who looked like she was in a bad mood.

"Then do you think the martial arts leader conference on the righteous side will have any results in the end?"
