Chapter 39
Su Yingxue turned around to take a look. The man’s skin was torn open and there was a deep bloody scar on his back. His flesh had been stirred up.
However, he stood steadily and hugged his sword without making a sound.
What a ruthless master, what a ruthless killer.
Su Yingxue couldn’t help but think of her previous life. Before she died, the Silver Moon Pavilion had become so powerful that even the four kingdoms and nine provinces were deeply afraid of it.
No one knew who founded the Silver Moon Pavilion and where its foundation was.
However, the Silver Moon Pavilion was involved in all kinds of businesses in the world, including intelligence, military weapons, and everything else. They were omniscient and omnipotent.
The four kingdoms and nine states had once sent troops to destroy the Silver Moon Pavilion, but both sides suffered heavy losses. In the end, both sides made concessions. The four kingdoms and nine states coexisted with the Silver Moon Pavilion, and the Silver Moon Pavilion did not oppose the imperial court.
Now, she was brought to the Silver Moon Pavilion. The Silver Moon Pavilion wanted her mother’s handwritten letter. It would be difficult for her to escape with the letter.
Su Yingxue sized up the woman behind the curtain. “How are you going to get my mother’s letter? What are you going to do with it?”
Hong Lian chuckled. “The Silver Moon Pavilion is a place where we do business properly. We won’t take anything by force. If we want Miss Su’s letter, we naturally have to pay the same price. As for its use… This is not within the scope of our transaction, so it is inconvenient to let you know.”
Su Yingxue narrowed her eyes slightly. “The rules in Silver Moon Pavilion are indeed strict.”
Hong Lian’s red lips curled up slightly. “Of course. For example, the number one assassin of the Silver Moon Pavilion. He already has an extraordinary status in the Silver Moon Pavilion. However, if he doesn’t do his job properly, he will still be punished.”
Su Yingxue turned back to look at the man. When he attacked, he was as fast as lightning. At other times, he stood at the side like an invisible person. Even his breathing could not be heard.
However, Su Yingxue could imagine that if he wanted to kill her, she would not be able to struggle for more than three seconds.
Therefore, she turned her attention back to the deal with Hong Lian. “You should know that I have a medical center and a grain and oil store. I earn a lot of money every day, so I won’t be short of money for the time being.”
“Miss Su, what if I give wealth that even the Marquis’s Manor cannot compare to? Would you be willing to consider it?” Hong Lian asked with a smile.
Su Yingxue also curled her lips. She held the letter and smiled faintly. “I didn’t expect my mother’s letter to be worth more than a Marquis’s Manor. But do you have any other way of trading? It’s a pity to exchange money for such a precious letter from my mother.”
“Hahaha, Miss Su you’re really smart!” Hong Lian clearly did not expect Su Yingxue to have such a huge change.
In her intelligence records, Su Yingxue had suddenly turned from an idiot to intelligent, bold, and decisive.
However, her current appearance, as well as her calm and quiet demeanor in the Silver Moon Pavilion, was not something a sixteen-year-old girl should have.
Su Yingxue didn’t waste any time talking to her. “Just tell me, are you going to exchange or not?”
“It seems that Miss Su has taken a fancy to something. What do you want to exchange with the Silver Moon Pavilion? Intelligence, medicinal herbs, the position of imperial concubine, or your sister’s life?”
Su Yingxue shook her head. “None of these.”
She turned around and pointed her slender fingers at the man whose breathing was undetectable. “I want him.”
The man looked up at her and immediately returned to his invisible state.
Hong Lian chuckled. “Miss Su, you have sharp eyes. He is indeed one of the top ten most valuable trading items in our Silver Moon Pavilion.”
