Li Yan’s expression darkened.

To think that he, who was feared by everyone in the outside world, would actually fall into the hands of a young lass tonight.

Right before Chu Luo pulled the jade pendant from his neck, he said coldly, “Deal.”

Hearing these words, Chu Luo was finally satisfied.

The man opposite her was very capable and dangerous. Before she understood the rules of this time and space, it was better to have one more ally than one more enemy.

Since he had agreed, she wouldn’t hesitate to remove the jade pendant.

Li Yan continued to stare at her with a dark expression.

The jade pendant was tied into a tight knot and it wasn’t easy to untie it. Chu Luo moved increasingly closer to him.

Li Yan couldn’t stand it anymore and said in a low voice, “Unlock my acupoints.”

“No. Who knows if you’ll go back on your word again?”

Chu Luo didn’t realize that she was almost on top of him.

Li Yan’s muscles tightened.

This was the first time a woman had dared to get so close to him.

On top of that, the person in front of him was a little girl who was extremely daring and lawless.

This made him feel an indescribable sense of weirdness and anger.

His voice deepened, but there was a helplessness in it that even he didn’t realize. “The rope is a dead knot. You can’t undo it.”

Chu Luo was indeed unable to undo it. Just as she was about to flare up from exasperation, she finally stopped.

It was then that she realized she was almost on top of him, and he’d been holding the gun against her, his hand still outstretched. It looked like he was hugging her.

Chu Luo was a little embarrassed. Her brain twitched and she complained, “To think you took advantage of me.”

Li Yan scanned her from head to toe with a cold gaze and said lightly, “What do you think I can take advantage of? I’m not that desperate to lay my hands on someone who hasn’t undergone puberty.”

Chu Luo: “…”

Was this a personal attack on her?!

Chu Luo puffed up her cheeks and glared at him fiercely.

Li Yan’s expression was cold. “Unlock my acupoints.”

Chu Luo continued to glare at him. Suddenly, she had an idea. She snatched the gun from his hand and pointed it at him.

The vein on Li Yan’s forehead twitched and he asked coldly, “Do you know how to shoot?”

“I don’t know,” Chu Luo answered honestly. As she spoke, it looked like she was about to pull the trigger.

“Don’t move!”

Chu Luo was shocked by his sudden harsh tone. With a snap of her fingers, a bullet flew over his head.

She reflexively unblocked Li Yan’s acupoints and pushed his wheelchair away.

Chu Luo’s heart started beating faster. She patted his chest and muttered, “That was close.”

Then, she held the gun in her hand and said in a curious tone, “This gun is indeed good stuff. It’s amazingly fast.”

Li Yan, who was almost pushed off his wheelchair, finally managed to stabilize himself. When he heard this, he quickly turned his wheelchair around to face her. His indifferent face finally cracked, but the cold aura from his body kept seeping out.

“Don’t ever point a gun at me again.”

Chu Luo looked at him, indignant. “Didn’t you point a gun at me, too?”

Li Yan took a deep breath. He realized that the indifference he had developed over the years was about to be destroyed by this young lass.

At that moment, there was a huge commotion in the forest that Chu Luo had altered.

Chu Luo was about to turn around to take a look when Li Yan’s expression became stern. He asked her, “Can you neutralize the poison on my men now?”

“I don’t have any ingredients.” As she spoke, she pointed into the forest and asked, “Are the people inside coming after you?”

“Mm.” Li Yan looked at her and suddenly asked, “Do you know who’s after me?”

“How would I know? Besides, what does this have to do with me?” Chu Luo didn’t like to guess.

Li Yan looked at her deeply for a few seconds before saying, “Take me away from here.”

“You don’t care about your people anymore?”

“They won’t die for now.”

Chu Luo was a little surprised that he would say that, but she didn’t think too much about it. She walked over and stretched out her hand. “Give me the jade pendant first.”

Li Yan’s fingers twitched on the wheelchair. In the end, he lifted it to the back of his neck and quickly untied the knot to give her the jade pendant.

However, before she could take it, he threatened in a low voice, “You better cure my leg, or else…”

Chu Luo took the jade pendant and glanced at him. “Don’t worry, I, Chu Luo, will not go back on my words, unlike you.”

When the jade pendant reached her hand, it suddenly emitted a scorching heat. Chu Luo’s hand trembled from the heat and the jade pendant almost fell off.

Chu Luo scolded in her heart, “Phoenix, don’t be naughty!”

Then, the jade pendant became obedient.

Chu Luo quickly put away the jade pendant.

Just then, a huge commotion could be heard coming from the forest.

Chu Luo tilted her head to look over, then said with a frown, “Someone wants to forcefully break the array.”

She quickly turned around and pushed Li Yan away.

As she walked, she said, “I’ve modified the array formation inside. If the array is forcefully broken, a landslide will occur. In order to not be buried inside, let’s quickly leave this place.”

Li Yan didn’t answer. After she pushed him for a while, he suddenly asked, “Do you know how to get out?”

Chu Luo stopped and said honestly, “No.”

Li Yan: “…”

“Head south.”

Chu Luo obeyed and pushed him towards the south.

Fortunately, the road here wasn’t rough. Chu Luo kept pushing him toward the south. After about five minutes of walking, a road lit with streetlights appeared ahead.

Chu Luo looked at Li Yan in surprise.

At this moment, the ground behind them shook.

Chu Luo hurriedly asked, “Are your people here yet?”

She wanted to go back. If this person’s men were here, she would leave first.

Li Yan seemed to have read her mind. His eyes were cold as he tapped his fingers on the armrest. “You can leave now.”

Chu Luo glanced at him, let go of the wheelchair, and walked towards her house without looking back.

Li Yan watched the woman walk away with a heavy gaze. He clenched his fists on the armrest and controlled his violent emotions. He suddenly said in an extremely cold voice, “Get rid of those people.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a few people suddenly walked out from the shadows while the others disappeared into the woods.

“Master.”

“Go back.”

Qin Ming went up behind him and pushed his wheelchair as he respectfully asked in a low voice, “Master, where’s that jade pendant of yours?”

Li Yan looked ahead with a cold expression. “It’s with her for the time being.”

After two seconds, he said again, “Buy the entire apartment building she’s living in.”

Astonishment flashed across Qin Ming’s eyes. The jade that his master had bought at an auction for three billion yuan was actually left in the hands of a little girl.

At this moment, Li Yan suddenly shot him a cold glare.

Qin Ming immediately replied, “Yes.” Then, he put away all his thoughts and pushed his wheelchair to the side of the car parked in the dark. However, a thin layer of sweat appeared on his back.

As for everything that happened tonight, it could only be said that the Wei family and the other families were unlucky. Not only were they used by their young master to test Chu Luo’s abilities, but they would also suffer a severe blow of revenge.
