Chapter 1048: He Might Lose His Life Over This
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Don’t startle him.”
Of course, Eldest Young Master Long would not let Zhao Xiaoli take the risk. He rejected it decisively.
It was not that he could not part with Zhao Xiaoli, but they were now intertwined. If anything happened to her, Master Ling would definitely suspect that he was the one behind Zhao Xiaoli’s actions.
He wanted to be the oriole, not the one that startled the snake in the grass. “Okay.” Zhao Xiaoli nodded. “When are we sending people over?”
Eldest Young Master Long thought for a moment and said, “Let’s wait a little longer.”
He was not in a hurry—Master Ling was the only one who was. Let him be anxious. He must not let him think that borrowing these people from him was easy.
“Alright, Cousin.”
Of course, Zhao Xiaoli was not in a hurry either. She was only following her cousin’s instructions.
“Cousin, I’m wondering if I can make a trip to Jun Lin Hall. I haven’t seen Qian Jiyun in the past few years, but I can still stay there for a few days as the Long family’s cousin, right?”
“You?”
Finally, Eldest Young Master Long turned around and looked at Zhao Xiaoli.
“Yes, me.” Zhao Xiaoli nodded.
She could say she came to repay Qian Jiyun for saving her life back then.
Eldest Young Master Long looked around as he considered the possibility of
Zhao Xiaoli infiltrating Jun Lin Hall. Qian Jiyun was never interested in Zhao Xiaoli. Now that he had his wife, he would definitely not have anything to do with Zhao Xiaoli.
“There’s no need. You’ll only cause more trouble if you go to Jun Lin Hall.”
It would be a problem if Qian Jiyun allowed Zhao Xiaoli to stay in Jun Lin Hall. It would be like announcing to him that they already knew about Zhao Xiaoli’s relationship with Master Ling.
After all, only the Long family could train poisonous sacrificial warriors. Qian Jiyun must have suspected him when he appeared at Jun Lin Hall, right?
No, he would not have merely suspected him. He was probably certain that it was him behind it, right?
He would be exposing himself and even his relationship with Zhao Xiaoli if he sent her there. He did not want that.
“If I don’t go, we won’t know what Master Ling is up to, Cousin,” Zhao Xiaoli said hurriedly.
She really wanted to know what Master Ling wanted from Qian Jiyun.
If she could obtain those things, she could do whatever she wanted on Wulong Mountain in the future. There would be no need for her to be entangled with those men. Even her cousin…
She looked up and glanced at Eldest Young Master Long carefully.
If possible, she wanted to dump this man and find someone reliable. They were only using each other.
She Imew that very well. She would not entrust her true feelings to him.
“Xiaoli, you still don’t understand. It’s not easy to obtain what Master Ling wants. He might lose his life over this.” Eldest Young Master Long frowned and warned Zhao Xiaoli.
He was not like the others, who lacked discernment. He would not give up his life for something that could help him advance to a higher level.
He could obtain an item again, but he only had one life. He understood that.
“We might have plotted so much for our own gains, but we still have to cherish our lives. What’s the point of having those things if we lose our lives? They’re merely worldly possessions..”
