Chapter 490: As Expected

Min Rufeng and Xi Fengling were both there when Yan Jinyu and the others arrived at the Mount West Villa.

They headed straight for the small building beside the main building.

Although Huo Xuan didn’t know what happened, he sensed that something important had happened. He didn’t ask further and just followed quietly.

“Feng, where is he?”

When they went upstairs, Min Rufeng and Xi Fengling were both standing outside the person’s room. They didn’t go in, as if they were waiting for them.

“In there.”

“What did he say when he woke up?” As Yan Jinyu spoke, the few of them pushed open the door and walked in.

Min Rufeng said truthfully, “Nothing.”

Yan Jinyu was slightly surprised, “Nothing?”

“He’s not in a good state. He fell asleep after waking up for a brief moment. I thought I would wake him up when you came over.”

So, that was it. She thought he didn’t want to say it.

When the few of them came in, Min Rufeng waved for the servant—who was taking care of that person—to go out first, so they were the only ones left in the room.

Huo Xuan looked at the man lying on the bed with such obvious scars on his face that he could be described as “unrecognizable” and felt even more puzzled.

He was curious about who this person was and how he ended up in their hands.

Although he did not know what was going on, he guessed that since they valued this person so much, this person must be very important.

And now, the most important thing for them was to deal with the remaining members of Ghost Slaughter.

Perhaps, this person was so seriously injured because of Ghost Slaughter.

Huo Xuan stood quietly at the side with doubts and curiosity.

Yin Jiujin also followed Yan Jinyu over, but he didn’t say anything and just stayed quietly in the background. Initially, Yan Jinyu wanted him to go to the main building to eat first, but Yin Jiujin didn’t agree and said that he wanted to accompany her.

“Feng.” Yan Jinyu gestured for Min Rufeng to wake him up.

Just as she spoke, she realized that someone was holding her hand.

Xi Fengling was very nervous.

Anyway, when she saw Min Rufeng take out the silver needle and walk towards the person lying on the bed, she couldn’t help being nervous.

She instinctively grabbed Yan Jinyu.

It was naturally impossible for Xi Fengling not to guess this person’s identity. It was precisely because she had a guess that she couldn’t control her emotions.

She had always thought that she could calm down in any situation. As long as she didn’t want to, it was difficult for anything to affect her.

She only realized that some emotions could not be controlled when she really faced them.

She hoped that this person’s identity was as she thought, but she was also a little afraid that it would be as she thought.

Because if it was really as she thought, it meant that that person had suffered at Liu Guang’s hands for more than 10 years.

However, she really hoped that it would be as she thought.

This feeling was very complicated.

Xi Fengling had rushed over after knowing that he was awake, so she didn’t see him when he was awake. All she knew came from her guess.

Otherwise, she might not have so many uncontrollable emotions now.

Yan Jinyu sensed her nervousness and patted the back of her hand to comfort her.

Seeing Yan Jinyu’s faint smile, Xi Fengling finally calmed down slightly.

Her gaze landed on the man’s scarred face again.

Min Rufeng carefully placed three silver needles on his head.

In fact, rather than saying that this person had fallen asleep, it was more like Min Rufeng used the silver needles to help him sleep after seeing that he was in a bad state. Hence, only the method of using the silver needles could wake him up.

About half a minute after the silver needle was placed, the person’s eyelids twitched slightly.

It was a sign that he was about to wake up.

His eyes slowly opened.

The moment he opened his eyes, Yan Jinyu sensed a sharp aura emanating from him.

He said nothing. Although he was weak, his eyes were extremely sharp.

He looked at... or rather, sized them up.

His eyes were filled with vigilance.

It was obvious from just one meeting that this was a vigilant and calm person.

“Feng.” Yan Jinyu gave Min Rufeng a questioning look.

Even if she didn’t ask, Min Rufeng could understand what she meant.

“No problem,” he said.

Then, he approached and removed the silver needle. He also wanted to help the person sit up.

The person did not react when he took the silver needle. However, when he was about to help him sit up, the person avoided him.

Even though he was seriously injured and it was inconvenient for him to move, he quickly avoided him.

This movement would definitely affect his old injuries, but his expression did not change at all, as if he could not feel the pain.

“I’ll help you sit up. It’s easier to talk like that.” Min Rufeng’s tone was flat.

“I’ll do it myself.” Perhaps it had been too long since he spoke, his voice was very hoarse.

Then, he propped himself up. It was a little difficult for him to move, but he didn’t frown at all, as if he wasn’t injured at all.

He leaned against the wall and sized them up carefully.

He was amazed.i

What a group of outstanding young people.

However, this did not reduce his guard against them.

“Did you save me?” He asked as he looked at Yan Jinyu.

The people present could not help but lament at his good judgment. It had only taken him a while to tell who was in charge here.

Yan Jinyu nodded. “We saved you, Senior.”

They probably had some guesses about his identity, so they used respectful words.

“How should we address you, Senior?”

However, that person did not answer her directly. Instead, he asked, “Where did you save me?”

“In the basement of a villa building. It seems like you’ve been locked in there for a few years. You had already fainted when we saw you. I don’t think you’ll remember it.”

“I indeed don’t have any impression of you. However, since you said that you saved me from the basement, you should know who trapped me there.”

Saving someone from Liu Guang was not simple.

They couldn’t have saved him by chance.

“Of course I know. Isn’t it Liu Guang?”

As she spoke, Yan Jinyu’s lips curled into a disdainful sneer.

In that person’s opinion, it was an act of not taking Liu Guang seriously.

He was even more surprised.

The girl looked young and should not be older than 20 years old, but she had ease and confidence that did not match her age.

Most importantly, she did not make people think that she was overestimating herself with her behavior. Instead, it would make people inexplicably believe that she indeed had the ability to look down on Liu Guang.

“Sixteen years. What a huge change. It’s the world of young people now. How should I address you, young lady? From your tone, it seems like you still have a lot of grudges with Liu Guang.”

“I’m the one who asked how to address you first, Senior.” There was a smile on his face, but his tone was unquestionable.

Even if the other party was an elder, Yan Jinyu wouldn’t give him the initiative.

Furthermore, they had yet to confirm his identity.

She did not save him to let him put on the airs of an elder in front of her.

That person couldn’t help but look at her again.

The little girl had pride.

No wonder she was in charge when she was the youngest among them.

He was not angry with her attitude. She was smiling and calling him senior, so her attitude was not bad.

“This is the first time I’ve seen so many outstanding young people again after being locked up for so many years. It’s inevitable that my focus is a little off. It’s indeed my turn to tell you my identity first.”

“Before that, I have to thank you for saving me first.”

“Senior, you’re welcome. I don’t think you care that much about being saved. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be so calm when you suddenly woke up and saw a different environment.”

“You’re wrong about that. I’m very happy to be saved. There’s something I still have to do and I am unwilling to die just like that.”

Yan Jinyu didn’t argue with him.

Perhaps he really cared about being saved, but in her opinion, he didn’t care too much about it.

The reason why he had such an attitude was probably because he didn’t know their identities. He didn’t know if it would be better to fall into their hands than be in Liu Guang’s hands.

At least in Liu Guang’s hands, he could still survive.

Seeing that she only raised her eyebrows and smiled without saying a word, that person was once again amazed by her calm personality that did not match her age.

“You know Liu Guang, but have you heard of the Silver Wolf?”

Xi Fengling tightened her grip on Yan Jinyu’s hand.

Coming from Ghost Slaughter Island, how could they have never heard of Silver Wolf?

That was Ghost Slaughter’s former trump card.

However, this didn’t affect Xi Fengling. What affected Xi Fengling was that Silver Wolf had another name that only a few people knew, Xi Mao.

Yan Jinyu naturally thought of this too.

Patting the back of her hand, she smiled and said to that person, “Silver Wolf, the killer weapon of Ghost Slaughter. He was once the number one killer on the Assassin Ranking. Of course, I’ve heard of it.”

“We also know Silver Wolf’s real name. It’s Xi Mao.”

Xi Mao was a little shocked.

It was normal to know about Silver Wolf. After all, Silver Wolf was very famous back then, but not many people knew his real name.

Not even many people in Ghost Slaughter knew.

From the looks of it, these young people’s understanding of Ghost Slaughter...

Moreover, some of them had auras that he was very familiar with. They were the same kind of people.

Thinking about what he had heard those people say when they tortured him in the basement, Xi Mao looked at Yan Jinyu and said confidently, “You’re ‘Chi’. You’re the top killer in the new generation who became famous after that battle nine years ago. You’re also the person who destroyed Ghost Slaughter Island.”

“Senior, you have good judgment.”

“However, what we should be paying attention to now is not who I am, but who Senior is.”

“Since you mentioned Silver Wolf just now, you must be him. What I want to know is, other than being Silver Wolf, did you live in Water City for a period of time when you were Xi Mao?”

Then, Xi Mao’s expression suddenly changed.

He looked at her in shock.

This was already Yan Jinyu’s answer.

“It seems like it. Then...”

Yan Jinyu didn’t continue. She patted Xi Fengling’s hand and let her say it herself.

Xi Fengling slowly let go of Yan Jinyu’s hand and took a deep breath. Her beautiful face wasn’t giving out the seductive vibes as usual.

She was very serious.

She just stared at Xi Mao.

Actually, Xi Mao noticed Xi Fengling when Yan Jinyu stopped talking and pushed her out.

“You...”

It should be said that Xi Mao had long noticed Xi Fengling.

Xi Fengling looked a little similar to Feng Xiangxiang.

However, Xi Mao was on guard. His gaze didn’t stay on Xi Fengling’s face for long. It quickly swept past her and he restrained his emotions very well.

Now that Yan Jinyu mentioned Water City and pushed Xi Fengling out, he naturally had a guess.

“My surname is Xi and my name is Xi Fengling. I heard that my father gave me this name.”

Xi Mao jerked and his eyes trembled. “Y-you...”
