Killing You Takes Only a Moment

Xue Lengyan, though adept at scheming, was not one to beat around the bush.

"I have no complicated conditions, just one: you must not harm any disciple of Lanyan Royal School!"

Her straightforward demand made Gu Lan's face darken slightly. However, he quickly masked his reaction.

"Of course," he said, his tone icy. "But what can you offer me in return?"

"I've already given it to you," Gu Lan replied firmly, a sly smile playing on his lips. "The three powerful individuals under their command have suffered significant losses. Now is the perfect time for you to strike."

But Xue Lengyan merely shook her head, a cold smile tugging at her lips. "You underestimate them. Those three have hidden cards yet to be played. If not for that, I would have dealt with them long ago."

Gu Lan's expression darkened further. More trump cards? If that was the case, he had to stay vigilant. He couldn't afford to be caught off guard by a sudden move.
