Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Tang Yu immediately pulled Mu Hui over and whispered in a low voice, “Sister Mu Hui, that was one of the people who held the bounty game previously…”

Bounty game?

Was that someone from the ninth master’s side?

Mu Hui did not care about it too much and immediately chased after him.

The man quickly climbed up a wall. He was trying to escape. However, after seeing Mu Hui chase after him, he became anxious and slipped. He then fell down.

“Ah!”

After hearing a shrill scream, Mu Hui rushed straight towards where the man fell.. However, the man tried to sneak away along the wall.

Fu Siye rushed to Mu Hui’s side. His eyes were cold and sharp as he ordered his bodyguards, “Go after him!”

“Yes!”

The bodyguards moved out one after another.

“I’ll go too,” said Mu Hui.

She was ready to fight him personally.

However, Fu Siye grabbed her hand and stopped her.

“Just let them go.”

Mu Hui turned around and left a faint kiss on Fu Siye’s lips.

“I still have to go.”

He tasted the sweetness on her lips and slowly let go of her hand.

“Then go, but be careful.”

“Okay!”

The man led the bodyguards in circles throughout the streets and alleys. The bodyguards soon lost sight of the man. They were all so tired that they could not breathe.

Mu Hui caught up to them and they quickly explained the situation to her.

“That kid has been leading us in circles. We don’t know where he is now.”

Mu Hui instructed, “You guys go back. I’ll go look for him,”

The bodyguards all refused and said, “No, we’ll still go with you…”

Unexpectedly, she did not say anything in response and just left.

Mu Hui saw the man poking his head out from behind the wall in the distance. He then disappeared on the spot like a gust of wind.

No matter how much the man tried to beat around the bush with her, Mu Hui caught up to him rather quickly.

After being caught, the man stood by the wall with an unruly look on his face.

Mu Hui asked, “Where did you take the ninth master?”

The man was stunned. He reacted and immediately said, “You’re still asking me? You’re the one who should hand him over!”

Mu Hui’s eyes were filled with confusion as she said, “The ninth master is missing. He’s not with us.”

The man’s face was filled with disbelief. He asked, “You lost him? Are you joking?”

Before he could finish his sentence, Mu Hui threw a letter at him and said, “Take a look at this letter.”

The letter struck the man’s chest accurately.

He grabbed it and quickly read it. When he saw the word ‘manager’, his pupils constricted and he clenched the letter in his hand tightly.

“We were finally discovered by the manager…”

He finally realized what the ninth master’s intention was. He wanted Mu Hui to become their new leader.

The corner of the man’s mouth twitched slightly. He felt a little unhappy as he looked up at Mu Hui.

Mu Hui looked at his contemptuous gaze and the corners of her mouth curled up.

“Do you believe me now? Did you rescue the ninth master?”

“Of course not! The people from the capital must have taken him away!”

The man seemed extremely humiliated, but in the end, he still followed the ninth master’s orders and regarded Mu Hui as his new leader.

“Hello, my name is Miao Yi. The ninth master said that you will be the highest-ranking leader of our organization from now on. You will lead us to continue to clean up those outsiders who have entered the book. They are known as book-piercers.”

Mu Hui was not the least bit interested in the leader position and expressed her stance, “Thank you. I will not be the leader, and I will not get rid of the other book-piercers.”

Miao Yi was very confused and asked, “Why? Those weak and trashy cannon fodders are just occupying our living space. If we don’t get rid of them, this space will collapse. There’s no need to pity those trash.”

Mu Hui replied, “I can’t just get rid of them for my own life because they’re exactly like me. They’re all living beings. Everyone has the right to live.”

The smile on Miao Yi’s face froze. He continued to insist, “But there’s no reason for the book-piercers to continue flooding the place. If that happens, no one will be able to survive.”

Mu Hui’s words were cold as she said, “I’ve already said that I won’t live in such a way that deprives other book-piercers of their lives.”

Miao Yi was unhappy as he said, “You’re really stubborn. I think that you’ll definitely go back on your words when the time comes.”

Mu Hui replied coldly, “That’s impossible.”

In the next moment, she heard steady footsteps approaching them from a corner not far away.

Mu Hui stepped forward and took a quick look. The person in the distance looked very familiar.

It was Fu Siye.

Mu Hui immediately turned around and said to Miao Yi, “You should go. Leave this place.”

Miao Yi also heard the commotion. He immediately turned around and left quickly.

Mu Hui frowned as she watch Miao Yi disappear before her eyes.
