Chapter 1204: Your Former Uncle
Xia Yinian glanced at the man who approached, then dismissively looked away."Why are you coming from that direction?" she asked casually, without any special intent.
But when the words reached the man’s ears, it felt different.
"Shouldn’t you be asking my dear brother about that? Guarding his own family as if they were wolves, yet letting outsiders in."
Feng Yifan sat down on a chair not far from Xia Yinian, maintaining a lazy demeanor.
Xia Yinian didn’t plan to argue with him. As a young master of the Feng Family, he still had to "climb up," so it was understandable if he was in a bad mood.
She looked down at her clasped hands, staying silent and motionless.
"What, Nian Nian doesn’t consider herself an outsider?" Feng Yifan’s voice rang out once more.
"I don’t have the Feng surname, so I can certainly be considered an outsider. But I’m grateful Grandpa and Ah Yen treat me as one of their own," Xia Yinian said softly.
She hadn’t intended to insult him, but when someone acts lowly, there’s not much she can do.
Feng Yifan furrowed his brows slightly and curled his lips.
"Grandpa intends for you to marry me, so, of course, he considers you family."
"What a joke! Even before Grandpa passed out, I was still Ling Qian’s fiancée. Now, it’s even more impossible," Xia Yinian said calmly.
Since he knew there were many people stationed outside, he certainly wouldn’t act rashly at this time.
In fact, from the moment he entered the room, many people probably saw him, even Ah Yen, who occasionally checks the surveillance, would know.
Perhaps due to his status or awaiting orders, the bodyguards showed no intention of interference yet.
"Things are different now, you really should consider it carefully." Feng Yifan’s smile was unusually crafty.
His gaze was fixated on Xia Yinian’s back, and no one knew what he was truly thinking.
Xia Yinian didn’t plan to engage; arguing with such a person was a waste of breath. If he dared to approach, she would shout for someone, it was that simple.
"It seems you don’t know why they protect you so well, do you?" Feng Yifan raised an eyebrow.
"Do you think it’s solely because Seventh Young Master offended the Qianqiu Sect? That’s why my brother wants you well protected?"
"Hehe... Black Shadow Killer, has Nian Nian heard of it?"
Hearing his malicious laughter, Xia Yinian’s brow furrowed, and her heart skipped a beat.
She had never met the Black Shadow Killer, but how could she not have heard of them?
Moreover, many people shuddered at the mere mention of "Black Shadow Killer."
Xia Yinian remembered a saying about them—no one in this world has ever seen the real Black Shadow Killer.
Because those who have seen them never get the chance to survive, so it’s said that no one has seen them.
"It seems Nian Nian has heard of them too," Feng Yifan said with a smile.
Though Xia Yinian was facing away from him, he didn’t need to see her face to feel the change in her aura.
"I’ve heard someone paid a high price to hire the Black Shadow Killer to target you."
"Your former uncle, the Seventh Young Master of Ye City, supposedly went to Bing City alone early yesterday morning, likely to negotiate for you."
"Nian Nian, your charm is truly remarkable. Seventh Young Master has neither resources nor allies in Bing City, and I hear the remaining people of the Qianqiu Sect have fled to Bing City."
"What do you think, if I sold the information about Seventh Young Master’s whereabouts in Bing City to them, how much profit could I gain?"
