Chapter 4285: 5.0037 Two Fingers

Mu Rouxuan's expression was calm, showing no emotional fluctuations, as she spoke in a remarkably composed tone. "Mother must have sent someone else, secretly, to capture Qiao Mu."

"We are nothing more than pawns she's placed on the surface." No wonder she always felt her mother's actions this time seemed somewhat strange.

Her mother had always been steady, cunning, and ruthless in her dealings. Having clashed with the little stoic multiple times, she couldn't possibly be unaware of how peculiar that stoic person was.

Her current subordinates, Hong Chang and He'er, were utterly incapable of genuinely confronting the little stoic.

To put it plainly, they were just the bait her mother put out in the open to lure the enemy head-on.

The trump card was always hidden deep within.

"Miss means that the Hall Master has other arrangements?" He'er was genuinely surprised.

As the Hall Master's confidante, she had never heard the Hall Master mention this.

Miss had just studied the Hall Master's letter and deduced so much?

This showed that Miss's mind was actually quite capable. It was just that she had been blinded by jealousy in the past, leading her to make many foolish mistakes.

Now that she had calmed down and analyzed the situation with a clear mind, looking at the problem anew, she saw things more thoroughly than those close to the Hall Master.

Hearing Mu Rouxuan's analysis, Hong Chang also nodded, indicating that it was highly probable.

He'er couldn't help but frown. "There's no other way now. This Vice Hall Master Bu Ye is incredibly skilled; none of us are his match."

"Moreover, given his status, if he wants to stay, no one here can stop him."

"Miss, for now, we'll cooperate with him. Tonight, I'll send a message to the Hall Master and ask her what we should do next."

Mu Rouxuan remained silent, her expression indifferent as she nodded.

Meanwhile, Bu Ye brazenly ordered his men to take him to a luxurious cabin, taking over the ship as the Vice Hall Master of the Hidden Moon Hall.

"Vice Hall Master, I think that 'Miss,' although temporarily intimidated by you, doesn't seem to have much respect for you," the attendant, clearly still spooked by the Profound Yin Talisman Mu Rouxuan had so expertly wielded, quickly whispered in Bu Ye's ear once they were back in the cabin.

Bu Ye's face was gloomy as he fiddled with an ivory dagger in his hand, gently caressing the two severed fingers on his left hand.

It had been quite some time since their last parting at the Saint Catherine Arena.

Bu Ye's seemingly delicate face was clouded with a dark, ominous expression between his brows.

"I wonder how you, that stoic face, have been doing recently," he muttered coldly, his right hand continually and lightly rubbing the two severed fingers on his left hand.

That day, after leaving the arena, the Crown Prince immediately issued an order to kill him.

He was chased like a stray dog, running all the way from the Saint Catherine Arena.

He lost more than half his life and two fingers.

Just when he thought he was about to die, rescue finally arrived, saving a small fraction of his life.

How should he settle this debt with that damned little stoic face?

Bu Ye glanced at the attendant beside him and cursed, "Useless trash, can't even handle a woman with no cultivation."

He hadn't missed how the attendant's legs trembled in fear under the attack of the Profound Yin Talisman.

"If you dare to be such a coward next time, watch out for the head on your neck."

The attendant jumped in fright, his body trembling slightly, and he repeatedly nodded, "Yes, yes."
