Volume 4: The Rise of Wuji Dao Chapter 10: The heroine spared his life with her sword!
Although Manager Hou was angry that He Lin sold him out as soon as he was threatened, he was thinking that he would show up and "talk" with the woman anyway, so he signaled Song Lao, Han Wei and others to ambush nearby, and he showed up with Li Jiu.
"Lady, please spare his life!" Manager Hou called out after he appeared, to prevent He Lin from losing his life.
But the woman looked over , with the sword in her hand still firmly on He Lin's neck.
Thinking back to how the other party had just turned around and leaped to control He Lin, Manager Hou knew that this woman's martial arts skills were definitely not weak.
But Manager Hou was not surprised.
He knew the martial arts of the master of Qinglong Temple. The Green Python Power combined with the Dragon Claw Hand could break monuments and split rocks. Ordinary warriors of the sixth level of the acquired realm might not be his match. If there were no warriors above the seventh level of the acquired realm in Shuiyue Cave, how could they easily destroy Qinglong Temple?
However, he brought Mr. Song with him on this trip, and Jinyun Trading Company was not an ordinary trading company, so he was not afraid of the other party.
"Who are you?" the woman asked warily.
Manager Hou smiled and bowed, "I am the manager of Jinyun Commercial Bank, Hou Jin."
"So it's Manager Hou, what advice do you have for me?"
'After learning about my origins, the woman's tone did not change. Either she did not know the relationship between Qinglong Temple and our Jinyun Trading Company, or she was a person with deep thoughts.'
Thinking this in his heart, Hou Jin smiled and said, "I don't deserve your advice, but I just want to ask, is the female hero from Shuiyue Cave Heaven?"
The woman seemed to be slightly stunned, and then said: "It seems that your investigation in Longshan County has yielded a lot of results. Yes, I am the elder of Shuiyue Cave Heaven, Hua Mujin. Not only did you monitor my disciples, you also followed me. Tell me, what is the reason?"
"It turns out to be Elder Hua. I am so sorry for my disrespect."
While saying this, Hou Jin was thinking in his heart: Judging from the martial arts that Hua Mujin just displayed, it should be around the seventh or eighth level of the acquired realm.
Although this level is considered a master in the martial arts world, it is nothing in a big sect.
From this point of view, the Shuiyuedongtian sect is most likely just a third-rate sect, and may not even have the innate realm.
After making some guesses about Shuiyuedongtian's strength, Hou Jin felt much more confident, so he stopped beating around the bush and asked directly, "Elder Hua, do you know the relationship between our Jinyun Commercial Bank and Qinglong Temple?"
Hua Mujin is Mu Chunhua.
She had also seen the account book at that time, so of course she knew the relationship between the two.
But she changed her mind and said, "I don't know."
As far as Hou Jin knew, the abbot of Qinglong Temple had kept an account book to record the transactions with Jinyun Trading Company.
Therefore, after hearing the answer from "Hua Mujin", he wondered: Did the people from Shuiyue Dongtian not find the account book, or did they find it but refuse to admit it?
His first task on this trip was to confirm the enemy-friend relationship with Shuiyue Dongtian, and his second task was to retrieve the account book.
After all, the account book is the evidence of Jinyun Trading Company's crime. If it falls into the hands of others, the owner of the trading company and even the forces behind it will probably not feel at ease.
Thinking of this, Hou Jin said: "To be honest, my Jinyun Commercial Bank has been doing business with Qinglong Temple before.
This time when the caravan arrived in Longshan County, they found that Qinglong Temple had been destroyed, so they secretly investigated Shuiyue Villa.
If I'm not mistaken, Qinglong Temple should have been destroyed by Shuiyue Cave Heaven, right?"
Hou Jin said this to verify some of his speculations.
I only heard "Hua Mujin" say: "In order to seize the disciples we accepted, Qinglong Temple invited us to the temple to murder us. Naturally, I, Shuiyue Dongtian, will destroy him. Why, you want to avenge Qinglong Temple?"
Hou Jin laughed and said, "Elder Hua, you are joking. We only have a business relationship with Qinglong Temple. How could we seek revenge for them?
However, the Qinglong Temple Master has an account book in his hand, which is very important to our Jinyun Trading Company. I wonder if you have seen it?"
"I've never seen it." Mu Chunhua denied it.
She had just pretended not to know about Jinyun Trading Company, so how could she admit that she had seen the account book now?
Isn't that contradictory?
Seeing that "Hua Mujin" rejected it without even thinking, although Hou Jin still had a smile on his face, he felt a little annoyed in his heart.
After thinking for a while, he said, "In this case, could you please allow us to enter Qinglong Temple and search it?
As long as we recover the account books, we will never trouble you again.
Of course, if your party is interested in our business, you can also take over Qinglong Temple and cooperate with us to make money together. How about it? "
What Hou Jin couldn't see was that under the black veil of her bamboo hat, a hint of murderous intent flashed in Mu Chunhua's eyes when she heard these words.
She and her sister Mu Qiuyue were born as homeless children, so they hated companies like Jinyun Commercial Bank and Qinglong Temple that were involved in human trafficking the most.
Now Jinyun Commercial Bank actually wants to drag "Shuiyuedongtian" into doing this evil thing together. How can she not have murderous intentions?
However, Mu Chunhua is not Min Xuelou. Although she has the intention to kill, there is no sign of it in her tone.
She said calmly, "I'm sorry, although I'm an elder, I can't make the decision on either of the two matters you mentioned. I have to report to the headmaster."
When Hou Jin heard this, he knew that the other party probably didn't want to agree, so he politely declined.
Therefore, he felt that it was necessary to let the other party see the strength of Jinyun Trading Company.
First, it was to prevent the other party from using the account books as a threat to demand benefits from the company; second, what if the other party was intimidated by the strength of the Jinyun Company and agreed to hand over the account books, or let them enter Qinglong Temple to search?
So he smiled and said: "Elder Hua, I must remind your sect that our Jinyun Trading Company is not an ordinary trading company. We are very sincere in cooperating with you this time, so I hope your sect will carefully consider the two things I just mentioned.
Elder Song, stop hiding and come out to see Elder Hua off."
The latter sentence was said to Mr. Song who was lying in ambush nearby.
Before Hou Jin finished speaking, Old Song, dressed in a green robe, leaped out from the woods beside the mountain path, holding a judge's pen, and flew straight towards Mu Chunhua and He Lin.
Mr. Song's original intention was to save He Lin, but he also wanted to teach "Hua Mujin" a lesson and let her know the strength of Jinyun Trading Company.
Therefore, the judge's pen thrust out into the air, with the true energy lingering around it, like a ray of black light, pointing directly at the Baihui point on the top of "Hua Mujin"'s head!
He made a surprise attack with confidence, performing this move in mid-air, covering "Hua Mujin", and the person would be unable to dodge.
But he will stop at the last moment and spare Hua Mujin's life so that she will know how powerful he is.
Who would have thought that in a hurry, the "Hua Mujin" turned around, and only a residual shadow was left on the spot, while his real body moved three steps away, not only avoiding Song Lao's move, but also stabbing back with a sword.
The angle of her sword was extremely tricky, and the trajectory was even more unpredictable. Before Old Song even landed on the ground, he was forced to use a heavy weight to fall to the ground like a stone, and only then did he barely avoid it.
However, "Hua Mujin" took advantage of the situation and did not show any mercy. He turned into a shadow and rushed to the other side of Old Song, stabbing Old Song in the back with a sword!
At this time, Old Song had already forgotten his previous intention of teaching the other party a lesson. He was so frightened that his hair stood on end. He no longer cared about his image and rolled over again, trying to avoid the attack again.
However, when he stood up again, he felt a sudden strong wind behind him, and before he could react, he felt a biting cold and sharpness on the left side of his neck.
"Don't move, or my sword will show no mercy."
"Hua Mujin" a faint voice came from behind.
From the moment Old Song jumped out to attack Mu Chunhua to the moment he was counterattacked by Mu Chunhua, it sounds like a long story, but in fact it only took two or three breaths.
Hou Jin and others, as well as He Lin, who finally escaped from Mu Chunhua's sword, were all stunned.
It was not until he heard Mu Chunhua threaten Old Song that Hou Jin came back to his senses. With a look of surprise, disgust, and helplessness, he shouted, "Lady, spare his life!"
"Spare my life again?" Mu Chunhua sneered, "Manager Hou said this once when he first showed up, right? Tell me, what do you mean? Do you want to force me to stay? Threaten Shuiyue Dongtian?"
After hearing what Mu Chunhua said, Hou Jin's face was filled with bitterness. He spread his hands and said, "Misunderstanding, this is all misunderstanding."
