Chapter 413

Xiang Yunduan took a deep breath towards the ceiling, then slowly exhaled, his eyes showing a hint of fatigue and helplessness.

“I know our team’s appearance in the snow mountain is abrupt, and I can understand your wariness towards us.

But I still hope you can give me a chance to explain.

Everything now has a reason, it’s not something I did on purpose, and it’s definitely not fabricated out of thin air.

I have no malice towards you two.”

Lin Qianhuan placed the porcelain cup in her hand on the table, and looked up to meet Xiang Yunduan’s eyes.

“Since Captain Xiang has no malice, then please answer my questions.

It could be a coincidence that your team members have those powers, and it could be a coincidence that you found this cave.

But what about the other survivors who went up the mountain with you to search for supplies?

You are clearly living in a cave, so why did you prepare dish soap and ceramic cups?

Could it be that you foresaw that you would be trapped in the snow mountain by extreme cold?”

Xiang Yunduan was about to open his mouth to explain, but Lin Qianhuan seized the opportunity to take out a truth pill and stuff it into his mouth.

The pill melted instantly upon entering his mouth. Xiang Yunduan coughed dryly in slight horror several times, but couldn’t spit anything out.

“What did you feed me!”

The team members behind him also stood guard behind him, their bodies tense, holding weapons in a defensive posture.

Lin Qianhuan remained seated steadily in place, not intimidated by the posture of this group of people.

“It’s just a pill that makes you only able to tell the truth after you eat it. Since Captain Xiang wants to explain everything to me clearly, you naturally want to tell the truth.

So, as long as you don’t harbor evil intentions, it makes no difference whether you take this medicine or not.”

Her fingertips lightly traced the hard stone table: “Oh right, let me say this in advance.

If you tell a lie, you will die a horrible death.”

Upon hearing this, Xiang Yunduan’s pupils shrank suddenly. Jin-type ability user Ruan Huacheng stepped forward, holding a sharp dagger in his hand, and unhesitatingly pressed it against Lin Qianhuan’s neck.

“The antidote.”

His voice was calm, but the hand holding the dagger exerted a little force, obviously threatening her.

Lin Qianhuan chuckled lightly, not paying attention to him, her eyes fell on Xiang Yunduan.

“Such a big reaction?

It seems that Captain Xiang never intended to tell me the truth from the beginning.

In that case, don’t blame me for taking action.

Jiang Xing, kill them.”

Lin Qianhuan’s voice was indifferent, but extremely oppressive. The temperature inside the cave seemed to have dropped a bit.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xing immediately stood up, lightning flashing from his fingertips. The pressure from his abilities made everyone present break out in cold sweat.

“Wait!”

Xiang Yunduan interrupted, turning his head to look at Ruan Huacheng.

“Acheng, put down the knife and apologize to Miss Lin.”

Ruan Huacheng didn’t move, just looked up at Xiang Yunduan in confusion.

“Captain! What she fed you wasn’t a truth serum, it was clearly poison!

She’s treating you like this, it’s obvious that she doesn’t take us seriously, why are you still being so polite to her!”

Seeing that he was still obsessed, Xiang Yunduan shouted angrily: “Put down the knife!”

Ruan Huacheng swallowed, and finally put down the dagger, but the look in his eyes when he looked at Lin Qianhuan was still mixed with vigilance and anger.

Lin Qianhuan raised her hand to stop Jiang Xing’s movements, a smile on her face from beginning to end.

“Captain Xiang actually asked your team member to put down the knife.

What, you don’t want to use force to threaten me to hand over the antidote?”

Her fingertips lightly tapped the table, as if she didn’t care about the tense atmosphere around her.

Xiang Yunduan’s face was slightly pale, and he barely curled his lips.

“Although Xiang is not a formidable figure, he also knows that the two of you are powerful, and we simply cannot shake you.

Miss Lin is right, I originally wanted to befriend you, so I naturally wanted to tell the truth.

Whether I took this medicine or not, there is no difference.”

Ruan Huacheng, who was standing behind Lin Qianhuan, was stunned, turned his head to look at Lin Qianhuan, but saw that there was not a single wound on her neck.

His pupils shrank suddenly, and he only felt unbelievable.

He had used a lot of force just now, even if it wasn’t enough to sever Lin Qianhuan’s carotid artery, it would have been enough to cut her skin.

But Lin Qianhuan sat upright at the table, as if she had not been threatened by the dagger at all.

Ruan Huacheng lowered his head, his back covered in cold sweat.

He was about to step back behind Xiang Yunduan, but his collar was suddenly grabbed.

The next moment, he only felt a pain in his lower back, and the whole person was kicked out directly, like a kite with a broken string, smashing directly into the cold stone wall.

“Ugh…”

Ruan Huacheng fell heavily to the ground, vomiting a mouthful of blood, the scene in front of him gradually blurred, and then fell into darkness.

Jiang Xing stood beside Lin Qianhuan and looked down at him, his amber eyes becoming more and more dangerous under the flickering candlelight, like a beast lurking in the darkness, ready to give the enemy a fatal blow at any time.

Feeling the killing intent on his body, Lin Qianhuan raised her hand to grab his sleeve, and skillfully brought him to her side.

“A lesson is enough, it’s not necessary to take a life.”

Having been successfully petted, Jiang Xing obediently sat back beside her, as if everything just now had never happened.

The other members of the team hurriedly helped the unconscious Ruan Huacheng up, their eyes full of vigilance and disbelief when they looked at Jiang Xing.

Ruan Huacheng was a sixth-level early stage Jin-type ability user, with extremely rich combat experience, and had killed high-level ability users several times.

Logically speaking, his strength, speed, and reaction ability were all beyond ordinary people.

But it was this kind of person who didn’t even notice Jiang Xing’s attack, and was directly kicked unconscious.

Just how strong is this man?
