Chapter 2601: Chapter 2601: Toward Jian Yufei
It’s extremely easy for Nangong Xu to deal with you.
If I am not mistaken, Nangong Xu has already decided to kill both of you, right?
Since death is certain either way, why don’t we all unite?"
Ruan Tianling clapped, "You’re absolutely right—"
In adversity, when everyone is on edge, enemies indeed tend to unite.
It has to be said, this Nangong Wenhua is quite eloquent.
Actually, who in the Nangong Family is simple?
Nangong Wenhua was pleased when he saw his reaction: "Have you agreed to cooperate with us?"
Jian Yufei frowned, would Ruan Tianling really agree?
Ruan Tianling looked at her: "Wife, what do you think of their proposal?"
"You’re asking me?"
Ruan Tianling nodded: "Yes, speak your mind."
Jian Yufei immediately said, "The proposal is good, covers all bases."
"You mean you agree?"
Jian Yufei shook her head, "I don’t agree!"
A trace of amusement flitted through Ruan Tianling’s eyes, "Why not?"
"It sounds nice! Pretending to be dead is risking your life.
What if you pretend to be dead and they really kill you? And, escaping wouldn’t be that easy, who knows how many bodyguards are outside?
Even if you do manage to escape, it would only be temporary.
Nangong Xu would probably blow up the entire mountain to make us disappear. So we reject this proposal!"
Nangong Wenhua quickly said, "We would never go back on our word. Yufei, you make a good point, but sitting here waiting for death offers not a sliver of hope!"
"Even without hope, I won’t let you lead us to our deaths!" Jian Yufei retorted bluntly.
Nangong Wenhua was exasperated; he didn’t expect Jian Yufei to be so difficult to fool.
"Forget it, I won’t argue with a woman! Women are shortsighted."
He turned to Ruan Tianling: "Ruan Tianling, what do you think? I feel your decision is the most important."
Ruan Tianling shrugged: "Even my wife thinks your proposal is unreliable. I definitely won’t agree."
"She’s just a woman with a narrow view!" Nangong Wenhua blurted out in anger.
Ruan Tianling’s face instantly turned cold: "Do you really think we’re brainless?!"
"Ruan Tianling, this proposal is really not bad, give it another thought."
Ruan Tianling sneered. As he was about to speak, the castle was suddenly plunged into darkness—
In the blink of an eye, Ruan Tianling’s expression changed slightly, his hand grasped a steel pipe and swung it at them.
"Clang—" Almost simultaneously, Ruan Tianling’s steel pipe clashed with the opponent’s.
If he had been half a second slower, that fierce blow would have landed right on his face.
At the moment of the power outage, someone beside Nangong Yi moved.
Because Nangong Yi was facing away from the living room, he was not standing against the light.
So he could vaguely see a blurry shadow.
The direction that person headed was not towards Ruan Tianling... but towards Jian Yufei...
Nangong Yi’s body reacted faster than his brain.
He leaped ahead of the person, crashing into Jian Yufei at the same time a sharp dinner knife stabbed into his back.
Nangong Yi grunted—
Ruan Tianling also noticed the commotion, realizing someone was rushing at Jian Yufei, he swung the steel pipe in his hand.
But then, hearing Nangong Yi’s grunt, he redirected the steel pipe and fiercely struck another person aside.
"Retreat!" shouted Nangong Wenhua when the ambush failed.
