At this moment, the voice of Dongfang Shu Fei turned hoarse and unwilling.
"If someone plotted against you, would you let them go?" Ye Xunhuan retorted.
Dongfang Shu Fei was at a loss for words upon hearing Ye Xunhuan's question, completely unsure of what to say.
Putting herself in someone else's shoes, if someone plotted against her , she would definitely not spare them.
Pleading would be useless to anyone.
One must know that showing mercy to an enemy is being cruel to oneself, so she, Dongfang Shu Fei, would ruthlessly kill them!
Although she would ruthlessly kill the other party, when this situation fell upon her, she found it impossible not to plead!
Seeing Dongfang Shu Fei's silence, Ye Xunhuan once again focused his gaze on Meng Qi: "Will you take your own life, or should I do it?"
Upon hearing Ye Xunhuan's words again, Meng Qi immediately said, "Ye Xunhuan, although I know I can't beat you, I still want to fight you. Even if I die, I want to die with dignity!"
"I will grant you that!"
As soon as Ye Xunhuan finished speaking, Meng Qi immediately stood up, walked to a certain place, and assumed a martial arts stance: "Come on!"
Seeing Meng Qi's stance, Ye Xunhuan's lips curved into a smile of interest: "Interesting, it's Aikido!"
Aikido is a martial art from Fusang that conquers through skill, originating from the Daito-ryu Aiki-jujutsu in Fusang. Its main feature is using softness to overcome strength, and borrowing strength to use strength without initiating attacks.
In essence, it's similar to Huaxia's Tai Chi, both emphasizing using softness to overcome hardness and using strength to counter strength!
"Ye Xunhuan, come on!" Meng Qi, like a bloodthirsty predator, stared intently at Ye Xunhuan and said, "Let me see how strong you really are!"
"To kill you, one strike is enough!"
Following these words, Ye Xunhuan's right hand suddenly reached out, aiming for Meng Qi's neck.
He planned to kill Meng Qi in one move, sparing Meng Qi additional suffering, as there were other matters to attend to. He had spent enough time at Dongfang Shu Fei's place and wanted to finish quickly.
So, when Ye Xunhuan made his move, he immediately brought an unprecedented sense of oppression to Meng Qi, causing his breathing to become rapid.
Originally, he thought Ye Xunhuan was merely boasting.
No matter how strong Ye Xunhuan was, how could he possibly kill him in one move?
After all, Meng Qi was also a Martial Artist!
Seeing Ye Xunhuan's grab coming straight at him, Meng Qi hastily dodged to the side, intending to launch an attack from there.
Yet at this moment, Ye Xunhuan's right hand abruptly accelerated, following Meng Qi's movement trajectory and grasping Meng Qi's neck ahead of time!
Meng Qi instinctively intended to use a blocking move to stop Ye Xunhuan!
However, just as Meng Qi's hand struck Ye Xunhuan's arm, he was horrified to discover that Ye Xunhuan's arm was as hard as the hardest mineral, and his full-force double strike did not shake Ye Xunhuan at all!
How could his arm be so hard? He clearly wasn't as powerful before; had he been toying with him all along?
The next moment, Ye Xunhuan's right hand clasped around Meng Qi's neck with the intention of crushing it!
Just at the critical moment for Meng Qi's life, Dongfang Shu Fei suddenly spoke: "Young Master Ye, if you spare Meng Qi, I'll help you kill Yan Qingdi!"
Ye Xunhuan's hand paused slightly upon hearing Dongfang Shu Fei's words, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look at her, his face full of surprise.
Although he turned his head to look at Dongfang Shu Fei, Ye Xunhuan's hand remained clasped around Meng Qi's neck, ready to exert force and snap it at any moment.
"Did you say you'll help me kill Yan Qingdi?" Ye Xunhuan asked Dongfang Shu Fei incredulously.
Not only did Ye Xunhuan find it hard to believe, but so did Wu Mei.
He is a member of the Yan family in the capital. Even if Ye Xunhuan killed Yan Qingdi, it would certainly cause some trouble. But if Dongfang Shu Fei killed him, it would be far more than trouble; it would be a catastrophe!
A catastrophe for Dongfang Shu Fei!
Even though Dongfang Shu Fei had deep roots in Zhonghai and some connections in the court, who would dare help her against the monstrous Yan family?
Unless it was the Qin family in the capital, Ye Xunhuan's grandfather, or the Wei and Sheng families capable of countering the Yan family.
But who would offend the Yan family for Dongfang Shu Fei's sake?
After all, they had no connection with Dongfang Shu Fei.
Seeing Ye Xunhuan stop, Dongfang Shu Fei seemed to catch a glimpse of hope, biting her white teeth and saying, "If you let Meng Qi go, I'll help you kill Yan Qingdi!"
Upon hearing Dongfang Shu Fei's words again, a smile appeared on Ye Xunhuan's lips, while Meng Qi, gripped in his hand, completely forgot to struggle, staring dumbfounded at Dongfang Shu Fei.
He couldn't imagine that Dongfang Shu Fei would actually say such things, attempting to kill Yan Qingdi for his survival!
If Yan Qingdi were killed, and the Yan family found out, Dongfang Shu Fei's years of work would likely be destroyed overnight.
"Fine, if you kill Yan Qingdi, then I'll let him go!"
With that, Ye Xunhuan directly tossed Meng Qi away!
"However, don't let me find out you deceived me, or else you will die a terrible death!"
To Ye Xunhuan, if Dongfang Shu Fei attempted to kill Yan Qingdi, releasing Meng Qi was no loss.
In Ye Xunhuan's eyes, Meng Qi was nothing more than an ant; crushing him was exceedingly simple.
Plus, if Ye Xunhuan wanted to deal with Meng Qi later, he could find plenty of excuses.
"I, Dongfang Shu Fei, keep my word!"
"I've left the person to you!" Ye Xunhuan said flatly, "If I find out you lied to me, then both of you will die!"
"Don't think about escaping; no one can escape from my hands!"
Saying this, Ye Xunhuan glanced at Wu Mei beside him: "Wu Mei, let's go!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Xunhuan raised his foot and started walking towards the door.
Seeing this, Wu Mei followed Ye Xunhuan out without any hesitation or delay.
At this moment, Meng Qi, who had picked himself up from the ground, suddenly called out: "Ye Xunhuan, stop!"
Hearing Meng Qi's words made Ye Xunhuan pause slightly, slowly turning his head to look at Meng Qi and asking, "What, do you have something else to say?"
"Ye Xunhuan, my young lady won't kill Yan Qingdi, and I don't need you to spare me!" Meng Qi said firmly, "Now, I give my life to you, hoping you won't trouble my young lady anymore!"
With those words, Meng Qi's right hand suddenly turned into a claw, ready to pierce his own heart!
Seeing this scene, Dongfang Shu Fei immediately screamed hysterically: "No…"
