Chapter 1403: A Man So Powerful It’s Outrageous
Jia Siwen and the others were all worried for Baldy.
They couldn’t afford to provoke someone as ruthless as Qin Yi. Although they hadn’t harmed a hair on Hua Nian’s head, they didn’t know if Qin Yi would annihilate them because of it.
"Should we run? Anyway, she doesn’t know who we are," Pockmarked Face thought for a moment and said.
Baldy nodded eagerly; it was indeed a good idea.
However, Jia Siwen shook his head, "We can’t run. She looks like a rookie with no experience in the martial world. If she runs into others, something will definitely happen. By then, if Qin Yi gets angry, none of us will escape."
"Then what should we do?" Baldy was sweating profusely in anxiety.
Jia Siwen said, "Apologize, ask for her forgiveness. Ignorance can be excused; we didn’t know she was the one Qin Yi was looking for when we acted. Besides, we didn’t harm her in the slightest, Qin Yi shouldn’t trouble us for this."
Without another word, Baldy knelt directly in front of Hua Nian. It’s often said that a man’s kneecaps are worth gold, but to them, it didn’t matter. Frankly, those in Sin City were all rotten people; the idea of kneecaps being worth gold was far less important than their lives.
Even though people in Sin City were scumbags, they feared death more than anyone. Otherwise, they wouldn’t hide in Sin City.
Hua Nian was startled, at a loss, staring blankly at Baldy kneeling before her.
Baldy pleaded, "Fairy Hua Nian, I didn’t know you were connected to Young Master Qin before, I inadvertently offended you. Please be merciful and forgive me. I know I was wrong, just treat me like a fart and let me go."
After speaking, he gave himself two hard slaps, not holding back, even his mouth started bleeding.
Hua Nian was completely dumbfounded.
Seeing Hua Nian not speaking, Baldy gritted his teeth and said, "If Fairy Hua Nian is not satisfied, you can beat or scold me, as long as you can calm down."
Hua Nian stood stunned for quite a while, looking at these people in confusion, with a head full of questions. Just now, they were talking about capturing her to sell, but after knowing her name, they suddenly knelt and begged for mercy.
"You, you get up, I don’t blame you anymore."
Though she didn’t know why Baldy was so afraid, the Elf Clan were innately kind, and she had no experience in the martial world, so seeing such an older person kneeling before her, she couldn’t bear it.
Baldy’s eyes glimmered, face full of joy, "Fairy Hua Nian really doesn’t blame me?"
Hua Nian nodded, "As long as you don’t hurt me, I won’t blame you."
"We won’t hurt, definitely won’t hurt, even if you gave us a hundred guts, we wouldn’t dare hurt you. In Sin City, who dares hurt you?" Baldy fawned, "Fairy Hua Nian, since you’ve forgiven me, when you see Young Master Qin later, can you not mention this, or my life will be over."
Hua Nian was puzzled, "Who is Young Master Qin? I don’t know him."
Jia Siwen said, "Young Master Qin is Qin Yi."
"Qin Yi?" Hua Nian thought carefully and then shook her head, "I really don’t know her."
From this, it was clear that Hua Nian was completely a rookie in the martial world. Normally, even if one didn’t know someone, they would pretend to know first, get away, and then talk.
Jia Siwen and the others were stunned.
"Fairy Hua Nian, you really don’t know Young Master Qin?"
Hua Nian shook her head.
"Then are you called Hua Nian?"
This was already the third time Jia Siwen had asked.
Hua Nian nodded, "I am called Hua Nian, how do you know my name?"
Jia Siwen and the others exchanged glances.
Baldy said, "What’s going on?"
"Could it be that she’s not the Hua Nian Qin Yi is looking for?"
"Impossible, the surname itself is rare, and how big could the chance of having the same name and surname be? There must be something going on that we don’t know about. Let’s take her to find Qin Yi first, then everything will be clear."
Baldy looked at Jia Siwen, "And what if she’s not? Won’t we lose at least a million gold coins for nothing?"
Jia Siwen retorted angrily, "How can you forget the pain after the wound heals? You are still thinking about money now? Haven’t you thought about what if she’s the one Qin Yi is looking for? Aren’t you afraid of losing your life?"
Baldy shrank his neck, no longer speaking.
Pockmarked Face said, "Then let’s listen to Jia Siwen, we’ll take her to see Qin Yi first."
The other three agreed.
Jia Siwen looked at Hua Nian and said, "Fairy Hua Nian, though you don’t know Young Master Qin, he knows you. Could you trouble yourself to come with us to see him?"
Hua Rui was full of vigilance, "But I don’t know him, why should I see him?"
"Fairy Hua Nian, it’s not about whether you want to see him or not. He is Young Master Qin, and nobody in Sin City dares to go against his words. Besides, Young Master Qin has sent word asking everyone to help find you; he must know you. Sin City is very dangerous, who knows what might happen if you’re alone? But once you meet Young Master Qin, no one in Sin City will dare trouble you."
Hua Nian was full of confusion, "Is this person very formidable?"
Jia Siwen said with admiration, "It’s beyond formidable. This person can be called divine or demonic."
Hua Nian’s eyes widened, "Divine or demonic? Does he look terrifying? Can he eat people?"
Jia Siwen: "..."
"Fairy Hua Nian, rest assured, Young Master Qin is exceedingly handsome, doesn’t eat people, and has a great personality, you can relax."
Jia Siwen casually lied. It’s true that Qin Yi is exceedingly handsome, but saying he has a great personality is utter nonsense. However, saying this was just to coax Hua Nian into meeting Qin Yi.
Hua Nian breathed a sigh of relief, then nodded, "Alright then. I’ll go with you to meet him."
Jia Siwen sighed in relief, it was quite easy to fool a rookie. He walked over and picked up Hua Nian’s hat, noticing the arrow holes in it, he instinctively looked back, seeing a man and a woman quickly hiding behind a broken wall.
Jia Siwen didn’t notice anything unusual, handing the hat back to Hua Nian for her to wear, "Please, Fairy Hua Nian."
The five of them walked toward Yunfeng Inn with Hua Nian.
The man and woman following Hua Nian came out from behind the broken wall, their eyes flickering.
"What’s going on? Who is Qin Yi? Why are these people so scared upon hearing Qin Yi’s name?"
The man said in a deep voice, filled with jealousy. Why should just a name make people bow and scrape? But from this, it was also clear that he hadn’t been in Sin City for long.
The woman frowned, "Strange, this wench has never left the Elf Clan, why would she know Qin Yi?"
The man asked, "Who exactly is Qin Yi?"
"This is trouble, she actually knows Qin Yi, this wench’s luck is way too good," the woman muttered to herself.
The man could sense the woman’s fear of Qin Yi, not pleased, he asked again, "I asked you, who exactly is Qin Yi?"
The woman glanced at him and said in a deep voice, "A man so powerful it’s outrageous. As you saw for yourself, just the words Qin Yi made these few humans tremble with fear."
