“Um, what’s-your-face.” Nameless Nie turned to Spray of Flowers. “Spray of Pine.”
Spray of Flowers’ lips twitched. “It’s Spray of Flowers!”
“Spray of Flowers, do you want to join the group?” Nameless Nie asked with a smile.
“Heh, even if this madam dies and doesn’t have a home to return to, I won’t collude with you, a criminal!” Spray of Flowers snorted.
Nameless Nie eerily said, “Of course, you can choose to decline, but I’d have to kill you. After all, you’re a mercenary sent by Zhao Yechao.”
“Actually, I think it’d be fine if I joined too… After all, you’re so good at business, so I think I can live in the lap of luxury by following you.” Spray of Flowers’ expression changed, and he hastily corrected himself with a smile.
“You’ve finally said something right. Living in the lap of luxury is the most basic standard,” Nameless Nie said.
…
After learning about Taoist Devotee and Spray of Flowers’ price for hire, Nameless Nie’s eyes shone. He clicked with the two of them easily and formed a mercenary team.
“What’s the mercenary group called?” Taoist Devotee looked at Nameless Nie.
Nameless Nie mulled over it for a moment. “It’s called Lots of Money Mercenary Team!”
Taoist Devotee: “…”
Spray of Flowers: “…”
Ling Miao: “…”
“Um, Captain, Lots of Money Mercenary Team doesn’t sound fierce at all! I think we should be called the World Go Round Mercenary Team!”
“Huh? No way! I think the name Wealthiest Mercenary Group is fiercer!” Taoist Devotee interjected.
Nameless Nie: “That’s worse than my Lots of Money!”
“I still think World Goes Around is better; money will make the world go round! It’s so meaningful!”
Nameless Nie looked at Ling Miao shortly after. “Beautiful aunt, how about you think of a name for us?”
Ling Miao didn’t say anything and picked up a pen from the table, writing a line of words on a piece of white paper.
“God Killing Mercenary Team”
…
After filling their stomachs, Nameless Nie told Taoist Devotee and Spray of Flowers to head home first.
Nameless Nie got a lot of intelligence from them.
Including how Zhao Yechao was sending many experts to ambush him and Ling Miao and how he also possessed firearms.
Nameless Nie instructed Taoist Devotee to go back and take care of the firearms first.
In the woods:
Nameless Nie caught Ling Miao, who fell down from a tree, and seized the opportunity to carry her in his arms.
“Release… me!” A light blush crept over Ling Miao’s cheeks.
“Okay.” Nameless Nie reflexively let go, and Ling Miao crashed onto the ground with a bang.
“You!” Ling Miao’s face was as black as the bottom of a pan.
“What? I told you not to go on that tree to pick the fruit, but you wouldn’t listen. So you fell, no?” Nameless Nie shrugged.
Ling Miao ignored Nameless Nie in the end and worriedly sat down at the base of the tree. “Are those two people trustworthy?”
“If they weren’t trustworthy, I wouldn’t have let them go back,” Nameless Nie replied aloofly, his smile fading.
Nameless Nie paused briefly. “Nameless Nie is the killer of your father. Since Old Ling asked us to do this task, we must accomplish it.”
“But I’m worried…” Ling Miao knitted her brows.
“No need to worry.” Nameless Nie looked at her and gently grasped both of her hands. “I’m here.”
Ling Miao shuddered and reflexively pulled back her hands.
Nameless Nie pursed his lips. “What is this? You held my hand every day when you were young! How come you can hold it, but I can’t?”
Ling Miao exasperatedly glanced at him and was quiet for a moment before stretching her hand out. “Here.”
Nameless Nie was just mouthing off and didn’t expect Ling Miao to really extend her hand. The tips of his ears reddened inexplicably as he slowly reached out and gently clasped the girl’s soft hands…
