82: Cleaning up the Mess

Cleaning up the Mess

Seeing that Ye Leng'an was not going to budge, their boss became anxious. "Don't you want to know who manipulated us? As long as you're willing to let us go, I'll tell you everything."1

Right now, he couldn't be bothered thinking about professional ethics. If betraying his employer could save them, he could immediately tell her the name of his employer.

"Haha, there's no need." Ye Leng'an's reply shattered all the hopes of the people in front of her. "If I want to know who hired you, I will know it after a little investigation. However, although there are many people who dislike me, there are very few who are cruel enough to kill me."

Seeing that he couldn't convince Ye Leng'an anyway, he immediately raised his gun and fired at Ye Leng'an.

The others also picked up their guns and fired at her. At this point, either they or Ye Leng'an would die. Rather than waiting for death here, it was better for them to fight with all their might. Perhaps, they could kill their way out.

Initially, they thought that even if such an attack couldn't injure Ye Leng'an, it would at least buy them some time to escape. However, what happened next shocked them even more.

When the bullets reached Ye Leng'an, they suddenly stopped as if they hit an invisible wall and were all blocked. Moreover, the bullets that were blocked did not fall to the ground at all. Instead, they froze in mid-air.

Only now did they know what kind of person they had provoked. Previously, they only knew that the Hidden World's cultivators were powerful, but they did not expect her to reach such a level. Even bullets could not get close to her.

If Ye Leng'an knew what they were thinking, she would definitely complain. Not all cultivators could make their spiritual energy tangible, not to mention the people in the Hidden World whose small-scale moves were completely different from true cultivation. 

"It's only polite to reciprocate. I'll return it all to you."

With that, Ye Leng'an waved her right hand, and the bullets that had frozen in mid-air flew back toward them.

Seeing that the bullets they shot had returned to their original path, they hurriedly tried to escape. However, they didn't know when they had been frozen in place like ice sculptures. Even if they used all their strength, they could not move at all.

In the end, they could only helplessly watch the bullets they shot hit their bodies.

When they fell to the ground, they realized how weak they were. At the same time, they thought of the people they had killed. Were those people as helpless as they were now when falling? They could do nothing but watch the blood continue to flow out and the aura gradually weaken. In the end, they closed their eyes unwillingly.

Looking at the five people lying in a pool of blood, there was no sympathy on Ye Leng'an's face. She took out her phone and dialed a familiar number. "Huangfu Ruiling, it seems that I am in trouble. As my guardian, I wonder if it's convenient for you to come and help me out?"

Although it was very easy for her to deal with the five corpses in front of her, as long as she released her flame of life, the five corpses would probably vanish without a trace. However, since she was in this world now, she felt that it would be better for her to abide by the rules of this world.

Well, the more important reason was that she was lazy!

And didn't Huangfu Ruiling like to be her guardian? Since that was the case, she naturally needed her guardian to clean up the mess for her.

Hearing Ye Leng'an's words, Huangfu Ruiling's tone on the other end of the phone did not fluctuate at all. "Tell me! What did you do this time?"

"Actually, it's not a big deal." She said, her tone relaxed, "There were five people trying to kill me under orders. But they were too weak, so I killed them instead. However, I'm afraid I'll need your help to deal with these five corpses!"

Her matter-of-fact tone sounded a little annoying.

Huangfu Ruiling immediately asked, "The address?"

Ye Leng'an told him the address without hesitation. Then, she hung up the phone.

After the call, she didn't even look at the corpses on the ground as if nothing had happened and left the alley. She didn't seem worried that she would be implicated.

After leaving the alley, Ye Leng'an wasn't in a hurry to go home. She had not forgotten her purpose for coming out this time.

After having enough food and drink, she slowly returned to the villa.

To her surprise, someone was waiting for her in the villa.

"Why are you here?" Looking at the person in the living room, Ye Leng'an could not help but frown. "Huangfu Ruiling, don't you think that before you enter the house, you should at least ask for the owner's permission?"
