Chapter 110 - I Want Him
Yin Cheng left the Immortal Phoenix House with a satisfied smile on his original frosty face.
He walked down a winding road and eventually entered a small alley humming himself with an unknown song, proving how good a mood he was at the moment.
However, his eyes occasionally moved to the side like he was probing something while walking.
He knew he was being followed, but he didn't care.
Knowing this guy didn't shoot him even though he's acting so careless and ignorant. It just meant that this person had no intention of hurting him.
Yin Cheng was very sharp and sensitive to killing intent as an assassin himself. This person didn't give off killing intent from the start; it could only mean that this person was waiting for him to react.
He might be able to use his bloodline ability to escape this person's stalking, but he wanted to know this stalker's purpose following him.
Twenty minutes later, Yin Cheng finally couldn't hold back any longer. He turns around and annoyedly asks, "Come out. I know you've been following me all along!"
"So you've noticed..."
As soon as this voice came out, a black-cloaked man finally showed himself before Yin Cheng.
Of course, this black-cloaked man person was Qin Yi.
Yin Cheng sneered and said, "Who do you think I am?"
"An assassin from the fallen house?" Qin Yi answered innocently.
An icy expression appeared on Yin Cheng's face when he heard these words. He coldly said, "If you have nothing else to say, then you better get out of my sight right now before I change my mind."
Qin Yi chuckled and shrugged his shoulders, "You're so fierce. I just want to get to know you though~."
Yin Cheng snorted and said, "If you said you were here to kill me, I would probably believe it right away."
Ever since he came to this city, everyone treated him and his older sister like the plague.
They were afraid that calamity would befall them if they got close to him and his older sister.
Therefore, when this stalker said he wanted to get to know him, Yin Chen couldn't believe it.
"I have no ill intentions towards you, let alone kill you. As I said before, I just wanted to get to know you." Said Qin Yi with a sigh.
"Get to know me?" Yin Cheng scoffed, "That's funny. Don't you already know who I am?"
Qin Yi tilted his head and answered innocently, "An assassin from the fallen house?"
"Bastard. If you say those two words one more time, I will definitely kill you!" Yin Cheng growled as a purple dagger appeared in his hand.
After a brief moment of silence, Yin Cheng kept the purple dagger back to his sleeve.
"Tch, stop following me, or else don't blame me that I didn't warn you!"
Yin Cheng turned around and said that. He was about to use his bloodline ability to escape the other party's sight. But suddenly he heard...
"Are you sure? I can heal your elder sister~"
As soon as these words sounded out, Yin Cheng's body suddenly froze in an instant.
He turned around and sharply looked at the black-cloaked man.
"What did you say?"
"I said nothing."
Yin Cheng gritted his teeth and repeated the words he had heard earlier, "You said, you can heal my elder sister!"
Qin Yi sighed and said, "Good grief, I thought you were deaf."
"..."
Yin Cheng went silent for a while.
Almost everyone in town already knew about his elder sister being sick. It's not a private matter. Some had even tried to take advantage of this and threatened Yin Cheng to work for them.
However, they died for no reason before Yin Cheng made up his mind.
Everyone who came to him never came back again. Because of this, no Alchemist would accept Yin Cheng's request to heal elder sisters unless he paid them a fantastic sum.
But he was broke, and his elder sister's treatment could not be delayed any longer.
Therefore, he was pretty desperate at the moment.
He hesitantly said, "You... can you really heal my elder sister?"
"Perhaps~" Qin Yi replied in a casual tone.
He wasn't so sure, but he wouldn't know until he tried.
He had spoken so confidently earlier just to get Yin Chen's attention so he wouldn't run away using his bloodline ability.
Yin Cheng took a deep breath, and then he asked, "What do you want from me?"
"Eh," Qin Yi raised his eyebrows in surprise, "You had believed me already?"
He initially thought it would take a lot of effort to convince Yin Cheng, but Yin Cheng was unexpectedly able to believe his words quickly.
With an expressionless face, Yin Cheng answered honestly: "As long as it has a slim chance of saving my elder sister, I will believe it even if it comes from a suspicious person like you."
He continued to look at the black-cloaked man and said, "Although I don't know whether you were ignorant about us or you were just fearless and didn't care about my enemy's threats, however, since you said that, I supposed you must need something from me. Said, what do you want me to do for you? I will not hesitate to do it as long as you treat my elder sister!"
Qin Yi did not immediately answer Yin Cheng's question. After being silent for a while, he suddenly clapped and said praisingly, "Not bad. Not only are you talented, but you are also good at judging situations. I'm starting to like you even more."
Qin Yi's original intention was to find an opportunity to approach Yin Cheng. That way, the system would perform the extraction and get everything Yin Cheng had, including his bloodline and aptitude.
But after he faced Yin Cheng directly, he suddenly discovered that he not only fell in love with Yin Chen's talent but also his personality and intelligence.
Qin Yi licked his lips as a desire to have this person secretly rose in his heart.
If he could turn Yin Cheng into his subordinate...
Qin Yi firmly believed that he would become a strong person and an important figure in this region in the future. When that moment comes, he would need to hire a trustworthy subordinate to take care of all his needs.
However, looking for trusted subordinates is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Therefore, if Qin Yi wanted to find one, he needed to find it early, especially when he was still nothing but a random unknown cultivator.
From this encounter, Qin Yi could see that Yin Cheng is loyal. It can also be seen how much he cares for his elder sister—from ability, intelligence, talent, personality to loyalty. This person was a perfect candidate to be his subordinate.
However, before he wanted to hire Yin Chen as his subordinate, he needs to show his capability and sincerity first.
Qin Yi smiled behind his hood and said, "Take me to your elder sister. I will tell you what I want later."
Yin Cheng nodded and immediately escorted the black-clocked man to his residence without hesitation.
Half an hour later, the two of them finally arrived at a secluded forest, and there was a small house made of wood.
Looking around, Qin Yi couldn't help but ask, "This is the place where you and your elder sister live?"
Yin Cheng nodded in affirmation. He said, "The City Lord offered us to stay in his mansion, but we refused. She already paid a lot to help us, so I don't want to bother her any further."
"Why don't you just ask the City Lord to help your elder sister?" Qin Yi asked curiously.
Yin Cheng was silent for a while before he replied, "I've already done that, but even the City Lord is helpless. Sometimes she would secretly send some antidote, but they could only suppress the poison in my elder sister's body."
Qin Yi raised hir brow and said, "The City Lord sure cares about you two."
As far as he remembered, the City Lord was a female powerhouse with the surname "Yin."
Does she relate to Shadow House? That's why she cares about the siblings so much?
Yin Cheng said nothing to this sentence. He quietly ushered the black-cloaked man into his house.
"Elder sister, I'm back!"
Yin Cheng enthusiastically called out. Unfortunately, no one responded to it. However, he didn't care.
He walked further ahead and entered a narrow room. There he saw the figure of his older sister, who was still lying in pain on the bed.
Qin Yi, who was walking behind Yin Cheng, finally saw her.
Then he heard Yin Cheng suddenly spoke—
"When I was young and ignorant, my elder sister always nudged me to train, but I was always slacked off. At that time, I thought that as long as there was my elder sister, I didn't have to train myself to be a fine assassin. I was playful and naughty, and because of that, my parents and my elders always scolded me badly. However, my elder sister is always there to cover me and clean my mess. She always protected me even when our Shadow House was attacked. She protected me like a treasure. No matter how much damage she takes, she continues to protect me until the City Lord arrives to save us..."
If people could see, they would see the color of sadness deeply painted in Yin Chen's eyes when he spoke of this.
Yin Chen turned around, and then he prostrated himself in front of the black-cloaked man. He banged his forehead against the floor and firmly said, "Therefore... please help my elder sister.. I don't know what you want from me, but I will lay down my life for you if you can heal my elder sister."
