Chapter 57

"Don't be angry." Seeing the shame and anger on Yan Yumo's face, Old Yun hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I was just checking your constitution."

Yan Yumo's expression eased, but there was still a hint of dissatisfaction on her face, though not obvious, it was still evident.

However, she also understood that Old Yun had no other intentions. After all, he was a figure of the same generation as her master, and the respect she should have, she would still maintain.

"Is it related to my constitution?" Yan Yumo deflected the topic and asked instead.

"Exactly!" Old Yun nodded. Seeing that Yan Yumo wanted to get to the bottom of it, he continued, "You don't need to ask me. If your master didn't tell you, there must be a reason, and I'm not in a position to say. Otherwise, that lunatic might come after me, and I don't want to face him."

Disappointment flashed in Yan Yumo's eyes, but she didn't ask again. She knew that if a strong person like Old Yun said he wouldn't tell her, he definitely wouldn't!

Jiang Han's heart stirred, and he glanced at Yan Yumo before checking her information.

This ability of the system was quite powerful. When facing a martial artist of the same level or slightly higher, it could reveal their general information, giving a significant advantage.

But when facing a strong person like Old Yun, it was completely useless, only showing a bunch of question marks.

【Yan Yumo】 (Human Race)

Introduction: From the Heavenly Martial Continent, the inheritor of the "Emperor of Assassins" Shadow Hand. Possesses a mysterious constitution, untraceable.

Cultivation: Eighth Rank Warrior

Talent: Average

Constitution: ???

Cultivation Technique: ???

Martial Skills: Black Fiend Palm, Mysterious Invisibility Skill, ???

Equipment: Kiss of Darkness, ???

"Damn!"

Jiang Han was almost shocked into exclaiming. This information about Yan Yumo was too powerful!

Apart from her cultivation and talent, everything else was untraceable... Oh, no, that's not right, it also revealed the Kiss of Darkness and a few martial skills, but that was because Yan Yumo had exposed the Kiss of Darkness!

As for those few martial skills, they were the ones Yan Yumo had used during their previous battle.

Being untraceable meant that Yan Yumo's information was on par with Old Yun and the others! This wasn't a difference in cultivation, the only explanation was that Yan Yumo's constitution and the cultivation techniques and martial skills she practiced were too powerful, exceeding the system's detection limit!

Jiang Han's heart ached as he compared his own information. Jiang Han almost wanted to cry.

【Jiang Han】

Cultivation: Eighth Rank Martial Disciple

Talent: Average

Constitution: None

Cultivation Technique: Ice Soul Technique

Martial Skills: Ghost Step (Incomplete), Earth Splitting Slash, Flying Fluff

Equipment: Mad Rhino Battle Armor, Laser Sword, Desert Eagle - Silenced, Infrared Goggles

There was no need to elaborate on the cultivation; he was a full rank lower than Yan Yumo. In terms of constitution, Jiang Han had none, while Yan Yumo had a powerful unknown one. For cultivation techniques, Jiang Han had the Gold-level Ice Soul Technique, while Yan Yumo's was unknown. The martial skills also differed greatly. As for equipment... Jiang Han's entire collection couldn't match Yan Yumo's Kiss of Darkness!

The only thing without a gap was talent, both were average!

However, this was what puzzled Jiang Han the most. Logically, with Yan Yumo's unknown mysterious constitution, she should have a high talent, yet she was the same as Jiang Han, average.

Why was that?

Jiang Han lowered his eyes and thought quietly.

"What exactly happened here?" Yan Yumo turned her gaze to the still unconscious Wu Chi, her eyes filled with deep disgust and confusion.

Old Yun glanced at Li Ao, who nodded. Then, Li Ao explained the situation to Yan Yumo, leaving her stunned.

"Thank you!" After listening, Yan Yumo understood. Without Old Yun, she and her grandfather might have been in danger. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a bit scared. This gratitude was heartfelt.

"It was nothing." Old Yun waved his hand and then said, "Your grandfather has decided to let him off. What do you think?"

Yan Yumo looked at the innkeeper, who shook his head at her. After hesitating for a while, she finally nodded, "My grandfather's decision is my decision. However..."

"Rest assured, I can guarantee he won't appear before you again!" Li Ao quickly interjected.

Don't joke, even if Old Yun would protect her, this person was someone he couldn't provoke!

The only inheritor of the Emperor of Assassins, if Wu Chi dared to have any thoughts about her again, Li Ao would not hesitate to kill him! Losing a dislikable nephew would be a small price to pay for the safety of the entire family, and he knew how to make the right choice!

Though he wasn't a cold-blooded person, at his level of cultivation, a dislikable nephew didn't matter much to him. Protecting the family was the most important thing!

"Okay." Yan Yumo nodded silently and didn't speak again.

In fact, she wanted to kill Wu Chi to avenge his insolence, but she also knew the consequences. Killing Wu Chi wouldn't benefit her; instead, it might create an enmity with the City Lord's Mansion. Although Old Yun would protect her, she preferred to rely on her own strength.

Moreover, she had never gone against her grandfather's decisions.

At this moment, the unconscious Wu Chi suddenly moved, then jumped up in terror, looking around. The first person he saw was Yan Yumo, and he was immediately stunned.

Wu Chi's first thought was that Yan Yumo had been captured, and his uncle had come to save him. His face lit up with joy.

"Ha ha ha, you stinky girl, you finally fell into my—"

"Slap!"

Before he could finish, a loud slap echoed, and Wu Chi flew out like a cannonball, his face swelling rapidly, spitting out a mouthful of blood and a few teeth.

"Rascal!" Hearing Wu Chi's words, Li Ao instantly flew into a rage and slapped him without hesitation, then pulled him back with a wave of his hand.

"Speaking nonsense! Apologize to Miss Yun!" Li Ao threw him to the ground, furious.

Wu Chi was dazed.

"Grand... Grandfather..."

He recognized the voice of his grandfather, the person he had feared all his life!

However, Wu Chi still didn't understand the situation and didn't know what had happened. He struggled to stand up, trembling, and turned his head. He saw Old Yun and Jiang Han sitting calmly, and then the innkeeper, who was also sitting undamaged.

He suddenly understood!

It must be that the old man's strength was so great that even his grandfather couldn't match him, which was why this scene had occurred.

Seeing Li Ao's angry face, Wu Chi's mind went blank, and his whole body trembled. After a moment of shock, he suddenly rolled his eyes and fell straight to the ground.

He fainted!

"Ha ha!"

Seeing this, Jiang Han couldn't help but laugh softly. He turned to look at Li Ao, whose face was turning green, and quickly coughed a few times, pretending to eat peanuts and ignoring the scene.

"Ah!"

Li Ao suddenly sighed, the wrinkles on his already aged face becoming more pronounced. He picked up Wu Chi and turned to Old Yun with a bitter smile, "Old Yun, I apologize! I failed to discipline him properly and have no face to stay here. I'll be leaving. If you're interested, the City Lord's Mansion is always ready to welcome you!"

With that, Li Ao nodded slightly at Jiang Han and disappeared on the spot.

Jiang Han shrugged and looked at Yan Yumo, seeing that her expression was not good. He quickly understood it was because of Wu Chi's earlier words.

"Alright, alright, it's over!" Jiang Han suddenly spoke, raising the plate of peanuts and smiled, "Miss Yan Yumo, don't just stand there, come, have some peanuts..."

"No!"

Yan Yumo huffed and turned, stomping up the stairs, leaving Old Yun, Jiang Han, and the innkeeper staring at each other.

"That... ahem, Yan Yumo is just like that, don't mind her, benefactor and young brother." After a moment, the innkeeper laughed dryly.

"Ah, a fragile heart..." Jiang Han sighed.

"What's a fragile heart?" Old Yun asked with rare interest.

Without a word, Jiang Han took an empty bottle of Maotai and smashed it on the ground, startling Old Yun and the innkeeper.

"What are you doing?" Old Yun frowned, waving his hand to clean up the glass shards, "Such precious crystals, how can you throw them around like that?!"

"…I was just explaining the meaning of a fragile heart to you…"

PS: I'm so frustrated. I don't know what happened with the writing software. I wrote half of it, opened something else, and when I came back, it was gone! I rewrote it, and it disappeared again! I decided to switch to Word… My mood is terrible, and this chapter might be a bit messy. Sorry, I'll make some revisions tomorrow.
