Chapter 870: Deep Memories

family, another founding family of the Empire, holding significant weight in the Imperial politics. While our Chen family isn't afraid of them, starting a war with the Yan family for no reason would...Although Miao Rou's agility might not match her own, it wouldn't be easy to stop her if she wanted to get away. At the very least, it wouldn't be as simple as it was now.

The reason I was able to subdue her with a single strike was because she had completely let her guard down earlier. Combined with my sudden attack, with her reaction time, it would have been impossible for her to block my surprise attack.

"You probably didn't expect me to know acupuncture, did you" Ye Fan smiled, but his hands were non-stop, striking like lightning and knocking the dagger from Miao Rou's hand. This woman was a killer, her whole body was dangerous, who knew if her dagger was coated with something deadly

Miao Rou was unwilling to have her dagger just be knocked away by Ye Fan like that. Her body struggled violently, but the struggle wasn't a good thing. It made Ye Fan, who had her in his arms, react even more. That thing happened to land right on Miao Rou's most alluring spot for men. Ye Fan grabbed her firmly, his breath thickening involuntarily.

"Listen to me, if you don't care about the consequences, then go ahead and try again," Ye Fan said, unfazed by the threat. If Miao Rou dared to challenge his patience once more, he would make her regret it.

As expected, this move really worked. Miao Rou also felt the change in Ye Fan's body. She knew exactly what it meant. Although she was a cold-faced female assassin, she was still a woman after all. Since she was a woman, she couldn't help but have her own concerns.

So, she was very cooperative this time and didn't move around anymore.

The two people remained in that awkward posture, but neither dared to move easily.

"Kill me," Miao Rou felt Ye Fan's breath growing heavier, she couldn't bear to face the humiliation that was coming, her heart suddenly filled with a death wish. However, Ye Fan seemed to know about their assassins, and had already clamped his hand over her throat to prevent her from biting her tongue and committing suicide.

So, Miao Rou can't even die now.

It's just that she hates herself for not being able to avenge her family. Thinking of her deceased parents, Miao Rou couldn't help but shed tears like a spring.

A crystal teardrop landed on Ye Fan's hand, warm and moist. Ye Fan sighed, this woman was just a pitiful person. Did his Ye family really do something unforgivable to her

Or perhaps, the old man’s debts from back then are being settled now. If that's the case, then I'm paying them off in this life for him. Who could blame me for having his surname

"Miao Rou, can you tell me why you keep trying to kill me Have I or the Ye family done something to you" Ye Fan would normally never say these words to a killer who had tried to take his life several times. But this Black Rose, he always felt that perhaps the Ye family owed her something.

Miao Rou let out a cold, hollow laugh. "Don't you know what you've done You're asking me now How absurd."

"I truly don't know, if the Ye Family has done something wrong, I am willing to make amends on behalf of the Ye Family."

"Compensation Oh, are you really capable of compensating me" Miao Rou said sarcastically.

Ye Fan frowned, but still said, "Go on."

"That's when I want your life!" Miao Rou suddenly went all out. Taking advantage of Ye Fan being distracted, she broke free from his embrace and punched him in the face. Ye Fan instinctively reacted in an instant, just like last time. After exchanging a punch with Miao Rou, Miao Rou took several steps back and fell to the ground, vomiting blood. Ye Fan, however, remained standing steadily in place.

"Your last internal injury hasn't healed yet," Ye Fan couldn't help but be startled when he saw the black blood Miao Rou coughed up.

This Miao Rou was truly desperate to kill herself. Last time, her Soaring Cloud Fist almost punched her into a sieve. Unexpectedly, she waited for her injuries to heal and came back to try and kill me again. This time is even better; I haven't even used my Dispersing Clouds Fist yet, and she's already collapsed on the ground. With old injuries adding to new ones, I'm afraid this time her recuperation period will be even longer.

Miao Rou looked at Ye Fan angrily, but she stubbornly raised her head and refused to speak, acting as if she would accept any punishment.

Ye Fan helplessly walked over and gently lifted her up. Miao Rou saw Ye Fan walking towards her, thinking he was going to do something to her, her body trembling uncontrollably. She seemed to want to stand up, but she couldn't. Every time she exerted herself, there would be a sharp pain in her chest, making her cough repeatedly, and black blood coughed out more and more.

"If you don't want to die right now, then you better not move." Ye Fan walked beside her and tapped a few points on her acupoints. Miao Rou immediately felt the pain in her body lessen by a few points. Although there was still a slight ache, compared to before, it was much better.

Ye Fan smiled wryly. If it came to acupressure techniques, perhaps he was the true thousand-handed Guanyin.

"We've at least reached a point of honesty now. Can you not tell me about our grievances" Ye Fan was right, if you measure by another standard, then his appearance could be considered sincere.

Miaorou bit her lip, staring blankly at Yefan, but not a word came out of her.

"Forget it, you go." Seeing her like this, Ye Fan felt distressed. He tossed a piece of clothing to her and went behind the screen to get his own clothes.

Now he wasn't worried about Miao Rou doing anything to him. Besides the fact that she was severely injured and couldn't hurt him at all, even if she were unharmed, Ye Fan was confident he could take her down within ten moves.

Seeing Ye Fan had already entered behind the screen, Miao Rou couldn't help but be stunned. With Ye Fan's help, she could basically move her body now. She quickly put on her clothes, but she sat quietly on the ground, hugging her knees, wondering what she was thinking.

After Ye Fan dressed neatly, he saw Miao Rou who hadn't left yet. He couldn't help but find it strange, "Why haven't you left yet"

"Can you tell me first how you got this jade pendant" Miao Rou seemed to have made up her mind. When she spoke, there was no hesitation or ambiguity in her voice.

Ye Fan took off the jade pendant and handed it to Miao Rou, saying, "This was given to me by Ye Benkong. He told me to take this to Gang Province to find someone named Miao Xiaohua. After seeing this half of the jade pendant, she will naturally understand Grandfather Benkong's meaning." Ye Fan answered honestly, he already had a feeling that Miao Rou must have some kind of inevitable connection with Miao Xiaohua.

She didn't strike out at herself immediately during the massage, perhaps wanting to figure out why she had this jade pendant. Ye Fan thought to himself, if it were really a straightforward situation like this on the island of the sun, then letting her go now would simply be repaying a life for a life, nothing owed to each other.

Listening to Ye Fan finish speaking, Miao Rou gently caressed this half of the jade pendant, as if she had fallen into a deep memory all of a sudden.

Ye Fan didn't disturb her either. He knew that she was probably not in a very calm mood at the moment.ed and talking nonsense. Sister Xin, I can't take her words seriously anymore."It took a full half hour for Helan Xiaoxin to coax and comfort Yue Zitong, finally calming her down.As for those brillian...
