Chapter 1402: Chapter 1402: She Is the One Qin Yi Is Looking For

Seeing Hua Nian’s cultivation wasn’t high, several bald men with brutish faces sneered wickedly.

"Little beauty, come with us obediently. We wouldn’t want to accidentally hurt your pretty little face when we start using force; it wouldn’t be worth much then."

"Why don’t we play with this little beauty first, then sell her to the slave market afterward?"

"I was thinking the same thing, I’ve played with countless fallen beauties, but I’ve never played with an elf beauty before."

Their faces were lewd, their eyes vulgar, lingering over Hua Nian’s delicate form, spewing suggestive words.

Hua Nian trembled in fear, her gorgeous face pale.

When a little lamb meets a pack of hungry wolves, resistance is futile; only fear remains.

The bald man bellowed, "I advise you not to have ideas about her. I tell you, only a virgin elf can fetch a better price. You may not care about money, but I won’t let money slip away."

Another chimed in, "Enough talk, catch her first. If someone notices, we might lose her."

The bald man nodded, wielding the Ghost Head Blade, walking over to Hua Nian.

Not far away, a man and woman watching Hua Nian coldly observed everything.

"What a pity." The man said regretfully.

The woman glanced at him, "What, aren’t you satisfied with me?"

"You two are different styles, though I like your performance in bed. But I wouldn’t mind a taste of an innocent little one like her."

The woman’s eyes turned icy, "Saying that in front of me, do you even take me seriously?"

"I don’t take you seriously; I only take you to my bed. A warning to you, don’t think I don’t know about you and the Great Elder. As I turn a blind eye, you better not meddle in my affairs."

The woman stood stunned, then looked at Hua Nian with venomous eyes, as if it was all Hua Nian’s fault.

"Wait."

Just as the bald man was about to reach for Hua Nian, a man in a white robe holding a Bone Breaking Fan suddenly spoke up.

The bald man turned to him, "Jia Siwen, what’s up? Don’t tell me you’re getting sentimental now, sparing a beauty?" 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

The horse-faced man whose real name was Jia Shiwen, usually dressed in white with a folding fan, had read some books and usually acted proper, but was filled with schemes, serving as the think tank among them. Everyone called him Jia Siwen.

The horse-faced man glanced at Hua Nian, his eyes flickering momentarily, then said, "Do you remember what the people at the table next to us were talking about when I was eating earlier?"

The bald man frowned, "I was drinking, who cares what they said? Jia Siwen, stop being cryptic and say it. I hate your wishy-washy ways."

"I vaguely heard them say Qin Yi is looking for someone." Another person said, looking at Jia Siwen, "Is that what you’re referring to?"

Jia Siwen nodded slightly, "Correct! You should know who Qin Yi is, right?"

"Of course, anyone who dares to challenge the Sword Sect and destroy Sin Tower, who doesn’t know?"

Jia Siwen said, "Not just that, there was a big battle at the Chaotic Burial Ground last night, and this morning people discovered the Second Elder of the Sword Sect, Yin Xiyuan dead there, it’s estimated his companions perished too."

They gaped, faces full of shock.

"Who did it? Everyone knows Qin Yi crippled Yin Xiyuan, but who actually killed him?"

Jia Siwen said, "According to rumors, it was Qin Yi. Qin Yi showed up yesterday, and by night Yin Xiyuan and crew were wiped out. Other than him, I can’t think of anyone else capable of such a feat."

They all froze in shock.

"Jia Siwen, what does Qin Yi killing Yin Xiyuan have to do with us catching this elf?"

Jia Siwen said, "This afternoon, news spread that Qin Yi is looking for someone. And the person he’s seeking is a female elf. Moreover, Qin Yi announced that anyone who finds intel on the elf will be rewarded fifty thousand gold coins. Finding the elf herself brings a reward of two hundred thousand gold coins."

Their faces changed dramatically.

The bald man looked at Hua Nian, speaking gravely, "Do you mean she might be the one Qin Yi is looking for?"

Jia Siwen nodded slightly.

"Gentlemen, this female elf would fetch at least a million gold coins at the slave market. Qin Yi is only offering two hundred thousand. Even if this elf is the one Qin Yi wants, would you be satisfied? Why not pretend we don’t know and sell her secretly, then inform Qin Yi we have news of the elf and still earn fifty thousand in benefits." The man with the pockmarked face grinned cunningly.

The others’ eyes brightened, nodding in agreement, this idea was feasible.

Jia Siwen looked at the pockmarked man, "Let me ask you, do you want money, or do you want your life?"

The pockmarked man paused, annoyed, "Jia Siwen, what do you mean?"

Jia Siwen said gravely, "I wasn’t finished. Qin Yi also stated, whoever dares harm the elf he’s looking for, by even a strand of hair, if an individual, will have their bones ground to dust, if a faction, leave no survivor."

The bald man and others’ faces changed drastically. Nobody questioned Qin Yi’s words, nor were foolish enough to think he’s bluffing. Someone who disregards the Sword Sect follows through with their words.

The pockmarked man’s face turned pale, "Perhaps we’re overthinking it, there are many elves, whether she’s the one Qin Yi seeks is uncertain. We should ask first, arguing amongst ourselves is pointless."

The group came to their senses, the bald man asked Jia Siwen, "Do you know the name of the elf Qin Yi is looking for?"

Jia Siwen nodded slightly, then looked at Hua Nian, asking, "Is your name Hua Nian?"

Hua Nian raised her face in surprise, "How did you know?"

Their faces changed again, shaken to their core. Especially the bald man, nearly terrified to death. Thought this elf was a gift from heaven, turns out she was a death sentence. She was the one Qin Yi was seeking; fortunately, Jia Siwen stopped them, or they’d be ground to dust by Qin Yi.

"Are you really Hua Nian?" Jia Siwen asked again to confirm.

Though Hua Nian’s face was pale with fear, she nodded.

Jia Siwen and the others looked at each other, all deeply relieved.

The pockmarked man asked, "Jia Siwen, what now?"

"Of course, escort her to meet Qin Yi. Do you dare touch her?"

The pockmarked man quickly shook his head; now, even given a hundred courage, he wouldn’t dare make moves on Hua Nian.

Jia Siwen said, "Qin Yi is at the Yunfeng Inn, we’ll take her to him. Although it’s less money, at least we won’t die."

The others agreed.

The bald man’s face turned pale, cold sweat dripping, tremblingly said, "What about me? I tried to grab her."
