Everyone looked at each other in dismay.
Because none of them had expected Feng Yuqin to say such a thing.
Some people even thought that this might not be what was really on Feng Yuqin's mind.
Feng Yuqin took in everyone's expressions and said calmly, "Every word I say is serious. When we established the Dark Night Pavilion, we were robbing others of their livelihoods. We're bound to run into trouble. As long as you all stay alive, we can stage a comeback. If anything happens to you, I'll have to find new people to train all over again. Don't waste my efforts."
After hearing this, everyone felt a complex mix of emotions.
Because for some of them, their families were even hoping for their deaths.
But their master valued their lives so much.
It was precisely because Feng Yuqin regarded each of them as so important that these people followed her all the way. In the end, each of them became a powerful figure capable of holding their own.
"Tomorrow, our shop will officially open. You can hang up the plaque tonight," Feng Yuqin said.
"Yes, master," everyone replied excitedly.
...
After giving instructions here, Feng Yuqin left the shop and returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Since her mother wasn't in the mansion, she still had to go back.
However, just as she was about to reach the Prime Minister's Mansion, Feng Yuqin sensed that she was being followed, and a dangerous aura instantly enveloped her.
She stopped in her tracks and turned around to see several black-clothed men.
Almost the moment she laid eyes on them, a thought flashed through Feng Yuqin's mind: they were very powerful.
These people were waiting near the Prime Minister's Mansion, obviously coming for her.
She was only a few hundred meters away from the Prime Minister's Mansion, but she knew that these people wouldn't let her enter the mansion safely.
In almost a second, Feng Yuqin had a plan in mind.
She turned around and ran in the opposite direction of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The people behind probably didn't want to fight here, so when they saw Feng Yuqin running in the opposite direction, on a secluded road, and judging from the direction she was running, they guessed that she was probably going to the hill outside the city.
They thought Feng Yuqin was quite sensible to choose a sparsely populated place for them to get rid of her.
Miss Weizhu had ordered them to take Feng Yuqin's head, so it would be even better for them if they went to a secluded place.
Feng Yuqin saw that the people behind were just chasing her without attacking.
She heaved a sigh of relief and at the same time asked her two beast pets, "Can you two handle those five people?"
"Master, after I upgraded my space, I've comprehended the space domain. I can trap the enemies inside to prevent them from escaping," Xiaojin naturally understood what the master meant.
Why did Feng Yuqin run? Because she knew she couldn't defeat them on her own.
If she couldn't defeat them alone, she would surely need help.
And her helpers were the two divine beasts. To keep her divine beasts a secret, of course, she had to lead these people to a secluded place and then find a way to get rid of them without anyone noticing.
If the people chasing after knew what Feng Yuqin was thinking at this moment, they would probably be so angry that they'd vomit blood.
"Xiaoying, check if there's anyone around," Feng Yuqin was still quite cautious. After all, she was worried that besides the five people chasing after, there might be others.
Xiaoying checked and said, "Master, there's no one around here."
"That's good. Come out, both of you," Feng Yuqin said.
The two people who had caught up saw two beast pets suddenly appear beside Feng Yuqin. A greedy look flashed in their eyes. "You actually have demonic pets?"
Although they were from the Central Region, only those at the master level could own beast pets, so they didn't have any.
Now seeing that Feng Yuqin had two, they felt it was a waste.
"No wonder Miss Weizhu wants to kill you," one of the men said. "A person who can own two demonic pets is sure to catch the young master's attention."
Feng Yuqin frowned. "Are you looking for the wrong person? I don't know the Miss Weizhu you mentioned, and who is this young master you're talking about?"
"Our young master is Prince Mo Xuanye of the Dongyuan Kingdom. Miss Weizhu is the young master's junior sister and also the daughter of the master of our Baiyan Sect. You, a useless person from the small Xisong Kingdom, actually dare to have designs on our young master," another man said disdainfully after seeing Feng Yuqin's strength. He didn't even bother to hide their identities.
The others also thought that with Feng Yuqin's strength, she was surely doomed.
Moreover, they couldn't sense the strength of these two demonic pets. They must be just as useless as this woman.
But whether they were useless or not, having demonic pets was better than not having any.
So they planned to kill Feng Yuqin and then snatch the demonic pets.
After hearing their words, Feng Yuqin understood that they had indeed found the right person.
At the same time, she was speechless. Did she have to deal with the love affairs that man Mo Xuanye had stirred up?
And it was such a troublesome one.
"You want my demonic pets?" Feng Yuqin raised her eyebrows and asked.
"A useless person like you doesn't deserve to own demonic pets," the leading black-clothed man said.
Feng Yuqin didn't mind being called useless by others. Instead, she continued to ask, "There are five of you, but I only have two demonic pets. How do you plan to divide them?"
When Xiaoying and Xiaojin heard this, the same thought popped into their heads: the master was going to sow discord.
The five people had never thought about this question before. So now when they heard this, they looked at each other, each thinking that they should get the demonic pets for themselves.
Feng Yuqin thought that this Miss Weizhu probably didn't take her seriously at all, so the people she sent weren't very smart.
It had to be said that Feng Yuqin was right.
Because after Mu Weizhu learned that Feng Yuqin was from the Xisong Kingdom and was a useless person who couldn't cultivate.
Later, she heard that Feng Yuqin could cultivate, but her strength was still not that great. So she casually selected a few guards to come and take Feng Yuqin's head.
If this matter was exposed and Mo Xuanye found out, she would just kill these few guards. Anyway, they were just some unimportant guards, and she didn't care at all.
It was precisely because she underestimated Feng Yuqin that these people betrayed her so easily.
Because these people all thought that killing Feng Yuqin would be a very easy thing.
Although their strength was at the bottom in the Central Region, they were powerful figures in the Xisong Kingdom.
This kind of thought made them a bit inflated when they entered the Xisong Kingdom.
"What? Haven't you decided yet?" Feng Yuqin said calmly. "How about I wait for you to discuss it?"
"I definitely want one demonic beast. You can divide the rest among yourselves," the leading black-clothed man said.
"Why should you? We're all of the same status. You were just temporarily appointed as the leader when we came out this time," another man protested.
