Chapter 213: Elegant Court’s Owner
Yin Jiujin led Yan Jinyu to pack her luggage and they appeared in Elegant Court two hours later.
Looking at the tightly shut wooden door in front of her, Yan Jinyu turned her gaze to Yin Jiujin.
Yin Jiujin didn’t push the door open this time. Instead, he raised his hand and knocked on the wooden door.
The wooden door opened from the inside after the second knock.
Yan Jinyu’s gaze was fixed on the wooden door. The moment the door opened, she saw the person standing in the courtyard.
Dressed in a long white jacket, his handsome face was warm.
There was a faint smile on his face.
He looked even more refined.
He looked similar to the face in her memory, but his temperament was completely different.
This wasn’t the most important thing. Most importantly, Yan Jinyu had confirmed her guess.
In the end, she was right.
Bai Ye, who had once helped her take a bullet, was not dead but had returned to the Yin Family. No wonder Meimei and the others found out that Bai Ye’s death was related to the Yin Family.
Actually, the reason why she had such a guess was because she had combined Yin Jiujin’s explanation that he had already guessed who it was, as well as the fact that the other party was clearly not targeting them. Coupled with the fact that Yin Jiujin’s aunt, Yin Xiaoxiao, and uncle, Feng Li, had passed away unexpectedly, it matched the time when Bai Ye had disappeared from Ghost Slaughter Island.
Yin Jiujin was surprised that Feng Yun would open this door so quickly.
However, on second thought, it was reasonable.
It was precisely because he felt that it was reasonable that his expression wasn’t very good now.
Feng Yun obviously knew that the young lady had come to the Yin Family and specially waited here.
Yan Jinyu looked at Feng Yun and greeted him with a smile, “Bai Ye, how have you been?”
She did not say that she came back to investigate the cause of his death. She did not even think of mentioning it to Bai Ye.
After all, if Bai Ye wasn’t dead, there was no need to investigate his cause of death. Besides, she really didn’t think much of it later on.
“Little girl, you’ve grown up after so many years.”
Yan Jinyu’s smile didn’t change. “My name is Yan Jinyu. If you’re not used to calling me that, you can call me “Number 99″ like you did on the island.”
99 was her number among the people who had entered Ghost Slaughter Island.
Speaking of this number, it was also very laughable.
Based on their sequence of entering the island, everyone had a number. The person who arrived earlier was the number in front, and the person who arrived later was the number in the back.
On Ghost Slaughter Island, there was no human rights at all.
Feng Yun was not affected by her distant smile. He seemed to be used to her attitude towards people.
However, her expression changed slightly when she mentioned the number.
“Alright, if you don’t like it, I’ll call you by your name. Jinyu.”
“I don’t like the form of address Bai Ye either. Call me by my name, Feng Yun, in the future, or you can also call me Cousin like Jin.”
Yin Jiujin, who felt that he couldn’t get between them at all, had already darkened his face. When he heard that, he glanced at Feng Yun with an unfriendly gaze. “She’s not going to calling you cousin. Don’t flatter yourself!”
Bai Ye?
He had never heard of this name before.
According to their killer’s rules, he hadn’t “debuted”.
However, didn’t everyone who hadn’t debuted only have numbers? Just like the young lady…
What Yin Jiujin didn’t know was that there were exceptions on Ghost Slaughter Island.
Ghost Slaughter Island would pick a few outstanding people to nurture as the successor of Ghost Slaughter and the right-hand men of the next generation Ghost Slaughter.
Such a person did not need to debut.
Of course, such a person had to be absolutely loyal. Who knew what “Ghost Slaughter” was thinking? He actually dared to choose Feng Yun as the next generation’s “Ghost Slaughter” ‘s right-hand man to nurture.
Even Yan Jinyu couldn’t figure out what “Ghost Slaughter” was thinking after knowing that Bai Ye was Feng Yun.
Could it be that “Ghost Slaughter” was confident that no one on Ghost Slaughter Island would dare to rebel against them?
It was undeniable that before Ghost Slaughter Island was destroyed, no one dared to rebel. Even Yan Jinyu didn’t dare to at that time.
Because Ghost Slaughter Island’s methods of dealing with the rebels were incomparably cruel. Even killers who had lived on the edge of death and had experienced countless cruel training to survive the survival of the fittest felt their scalps tingle and their hearts turn cold just by looking at such punishment.
Yan Jinyu had seen Ghost Slaughter Island deal with the rebels with her own eyes.
It was the execution of a thousand cuts in public with a dagger.
Did they think that a thousand cuts was just a thousand cuts?
Not really.
Instead, the dagger was stained with medicine that hurt more than salt and chili. After each cut, they would place the dagger into the basin containing the spicy medicine.
They would not stop until the person was dead.
And how could death be so easy?
There were many talents on Ghost Slaughter Island, so it was not difficult to develop medicine which could keep a person alive.
That kind of torture where one was at the edge of death, was extremely painful, and they even had to use medicine to keep them alive. Even Yan Jinyu couldn’t eat for two days.
As for escaping from Ghost Slaughter Island after rebelling, that was even more impossible.
At the peak of Ghost Slaughter Island, there were too many capable people.
They were all people who were making a living at the edge of death, so they did not have so many relationships to speak of. Furthermore, everyone was trapped in hell. What right did any of them have to escape from hell alone to gain freedom?
No one on Ghost Slaughter Island would pity the rebels.
If Ghost Slaughter Island was not destroyed, they would be found no matter where they fled to.
Collude with others to rebel?
They were all people who had crossed swords with each other. Nobody was trustworthy.
And once they had the intention to rebel and were discovered, their outcome would be no different from that of a rebel.
Hence, Yan Jinyu actually took a huge risk when she teamed up with the three of them to plan to deal with Ghost Slaughter Island.
Of course, from this, it could be seen how deep their relationship was.
“You can’t even change the fact that I’m your cousin.”
“Come in first. Let’s sit down and talk.”
Just as Feng Yun finished speaking, Yin Jiujin held Yan Jinyu’s hand. Feng Yun chuckled inwardly.
He was so possessive that even he was wary of him. How would he manage that outside?
Furthermore, the girl was only 18 years old. He heard that she was to go to school. If he didn’t restrain his possessiveness, he would have to suffer in the future.
Yan Jinyu sat beside Yin Jiujin while Feng Yun sat opposite her on the soft seat on the ground. A stove was between them.
He calmly poured them each a cup of tea. “Have some hot tea to warm yourself up first.”
Seeing that Yin Jiujin had picked up the teacup and taken a sip, Yan Jinyu also took a sip. She put down the teacup and smiled faintly. She said to Feng Yun, “Thank you for the incident at the Empire Building.”
“Cousin, don’t do such a thing again.”
She called him cousin so smoothly that Feng Yun raised his eyebrows, and Yin Jiujin’s gaze landed on her with complicated emotions in his eyes.
“These small conflicts in the capital can’t do anything to me, so there’s no need for Brother Nine to intimidate me. Of course, since Cousin has helped me out with so much effort, I won’t accuse Cousin without knowing what’s good for me. I’ll accept Cousin’s kindness and treat it as I owe you a favor.”
“In that case, I owe you two favors.”
Yin Jiujin looked at her in puzzlement before looking at Feng Yun.
Even Feng Yun was a little puzzled. He smiled and said, “Take it as a favor this time. Although I don’t need it, what about the other favor? Where did that come from?”
Even Feng Yun was a little puzzled. He smiled and said, “Take it as a favor this time. Although I don’t need it, what about the other favor? Where did that come from?”
When Yin Jiujin heard that, he suddenly reached out and grabbed her hand tightly.
Yan Jinyu smiled at him comfortingly and patted the back of his hand. “Brother Nine, don’t worry. Actually, even if Cousin doesn’t help me block it, I can still dodge it. You’ve seen me attack. I can even shatter the bullets that come at me. How can those people hurt me?”
Yin Jiujin pursed his thin lips tightly as he stared at her and held her hand tightly.
He didn’t say anything either.
He admitted that he was frightened again.
Even though he knew that such a dangerous thing was common for young girl in the past.
Yan Jinyu was helpless. She thought that she would comfort him later, so she turned her gaze to Feng Yun again. “That was considered a favor.”
Feng Yun sighed softly when he saw the two of them, especially Yin Jiujin’s expression.
In the past, he felt that with Ah Jin’s proud and stubborn personality, it was good to have someone he cared about. At least, he wouldn’t be lonely in the future.
However, seeing that he already cared so much about this girl, he suddenly didn’t know if it was good or bad.
Let’s just take it as good. At least for now, the two of them had become each other’s support.
The little girl was actually very pitiful.
Looking at Yan Jinyu, he smiled gently, “You still remember that incident?”
“How can that count as you owing me a favor? I was already seriously injured back then. Speaking of which, you saved my life.”
“If you really want to calculate so carefully, I owe you even more.”
“I’m not the kind of person who would sacrifice myself for others. If it were someone else, I wouldn’t have helped block that bullet. You’ve saved me many times.”
“I arrived at Ghost Slaughter Island a year earlier than you, but my skills are actually not the best among my peers. I was lucky to survive.”
“You weren’t lucky. I know that. Your grasp of computers is far above many people. You were specially trained in this aspect by Ghost Slaughter.”
Feng Yun didn’t deny it. “Indeed, but it’s precisely because of this that my skills are inferior to others.”
“On Ghost Slaughter Island, there’s no such thing as specially protecting someone’s life. It was very dangerous for me to leave that training room.”
“And you’ve actually saved me four times.”
“I didn’t save you,” Yan Jinyu said confidently.
“If I really saved you, it must not have been intentional. Those people should be looking for trouble with me too. I’m not someone who will stand up for injustice.”
Feng Yun fell silent.
That was indeed the case.
Her looks were too deceptive. She was young and looked especially easy to bully.
On Ghost Slaughter Island, many people’s hearts were twisted. In such a dark place, many people would have evil thoughts when they suddenly saw a clean, innocent, and beautiful girl.
It was indeed disgusting.
But those people died at her hands every time.
Of course, she also saved him.
“You’re quite direct. But no matter what, seriously speaking, you don’t owe me a favor. Instead, I owe you.”
As Feng Yun spoke, he clenched his fists and continued, “You even destroyed Ghost Slaughter Island and helped me take revenge for my parents.”
Yan Jinyu fell silent.
Yin Jiujin didn’t say a word either.
After a long while, Yan Jinyu said, “They’re not all dead yet. You still have the chance to take revenge personally.”
“However, since you said that I don’t owe you anymore, I don’t owe you anymore. I actually don’t like to owe others favors either.”
“Your enemy is also my enemy. We can work together.”
“So, Cousin, I’m going to find Feng and Meimei to discuss a strategy tomorrow. Do you want to join us?”
Feng Yun and Yin Jiujin were stunned.
