Chapter Thirty-Five: The Promise

  The other three men in black were all stunned.

  What happened?

  The black-clad man who flew out fell to the ground motionless and fainted.

  The person who was originally protected by Ling Feng's arms suddenly kicked the killer flying with one foot, which was already surprising enough.

  The killer who was kicked actually couldn't get up directly.

  What kind of footwork is this?!

  Ye Yun shook her foot and turned around to say to Ling Feng: "I'll let you go now."

  Ling Feng's dazed expression quickly turned into a faintly meaningful smile.

  However, Ye Yun did not see it. Because she had already turned around and was ready to leave the battlefield.

  Her calm and composed expression directly irritated the nerves of the man in black.

  How can they be ignored?!

  "Halt!" The black-clad man at the front shouted. The other two people tacitly chased after Ye Yun.

  Ye Yun stopped in her tracks, a white figure blocking her path.

  Ling Feng's expression was cold and stern, with a hint of murderous intent, "Your opponent is me."

  As soon as the words fell, a white light flashed by, and three men in black clothes fell down silently.

  "Wow!" Ye Yun exclaimed in surprise, clapping her hands, "That's amazing! Did you leave any survivors?"

  Ling Feng glanced at the black-clad man who had just been kicked unconscious by Ye Yun, "One is enough."

  Ye Yun's heart skipped a beat, all three people were actually killed? How ruthless and cruel!

  This was Ye Yun's first time seeing a murder scene and real corpses with her own eyes.

  Although I knew that ancient times did not have very strict legal restrictions on killing people, knowing and experiencing it in reality are completely different.

  Ye Yun turned her back and didn't want to look again, she didn't even want to stay in this place for another moment.

  She hastily took off her thick clothes and walked out, warning herself in her heart that she couldn't appear too flustered, but her footsteps quickened involuntarily.

  Ling Feng discovered Ye Yun's abnormality and rushed over, grabbing her arm, but was fiercely shaken off by her.

  Ye Yun shook off Ling Feng's hand, which was suspended in mid-air, and saw Ling Feng's astonished expression. She then realized that she had been a bit out of line. However, she didn't think of apologizing at all. With a complex look, she glanced at Ling Feng and quickly turned around to continue walking.

  Ling Feng was taken aback, he had never seen Ye Yun with such an expression before. She was sometimes playful, sometimes fierce, sometimes laughing happily, and sometimes concentrating intently, but this look of disgust that she couldn't even hide from herself was something he had never seen before.

  What did he do to make her look like that? She even shook off his hand.

  Could it be...

  Ling Feng's foot tapped lightly on the ground, and he flew forward, one hand encircling Ye Yun's waist, using his lightness skill to float gently through the air.

  Ye Yun felt a sudden tightness around her waist, and then she was weightless. Her feet lost their solid footing.

  "Wow!" Ye Yun exclaimed, subconsciously wrapping her arms around Ling Feng's waist. "Hey! I told you not to do this suddenly. I'm not mentally prepared! Put me down quickly."

  "Let you go is fine. Tell me, why did you leave suddenly?" Ling Feng already had a guess in her heart, she just needed to confirm his guess now.

  "I didn't..." was suppressed under the sharp and piercing gaze, stuck in his throat, unable to be spat out.

  Looking at Ling Feng's appearance, if she doesn't tell the truth, he will definitely not let her off easily.

  Ye Yun sighed, "Actually, I'm just not used to seeing scenes of murder and real corpses. I know your world, if you don't kill him, he'll kill you. Like the four today who came to kill you. You killing them wasn't wrong. However..."

  Ye Yun looked at Ling Feng, "I've grown up so big, I've never seen such a scene. In our place, people can't be killed. Those who kill are punished. Killers pay with their lives, taking someone else's life means paying with one's own life."

  "In short," Ling Feng and Ye Yun looked at each other, their eyes extremely serious, "you can't stand the sight of killing scenes and corpses."

  Ye Yun didn't think she was being so subtle, but he actually completely grasped her thoughts.

  "Ah, right. I don't want to get used to this kind of scene, it's too cold-blooded." As long as Grandpa fixed the time machine, she would be going back, so there was no need to get used to such a cold-blooded scene.

  Besides, even if it takes a long time, she doesn't have the confidence to look at all this calmly.

  "Alright! I promise you." Ling Feng made a reckless vow.

  "What? What did you promise me?"

  "Starting today, I won't kill in front of you again, nor will I let you witness such a scene." Ling Feng looked at Ye Yun with a solemn promise, his obsidian-like eyes fixed tightly on hers, not letting her evade.

  Ye Yun's heart skipped a beat, and facing his promise, she couldn't utter a single word.

  She wanted to laugh it off with a "haha", but his serious expression left her unable to do anything except retreat in embarrassment.

  No! Ye Yun! You have to go back. Absolutely cannot get emotionally involved here.

  Ye Yun silently warned herself in her heart.

  The next day, Ye Yun began to devote herself to the intense work of selecting a husband for Ling Wei.

  Ling Wei soon found out what Ye Yun was doing and slammed her hand on the table in anger.

  "How detestable! She hasn't even married into the family yet and she's already finding fault with me, wanting to drive me out? Hmph! I won't let her have her way!"

  Ye Yun did something very simple: she drew a portrait of Ling Wei and handed it over to several famous matchmakers.

  Of course, these matchmakers were all found by Xing'er for her.

  Ancient matchmakers were actually similar to employees in modern marriage introduction agencies.

  Matchmaking for single men and women of marriageable age.

  The only difference is that ancient matchmakers were solo businesses, and they could make money just by relying on their mouths. Parental orders, matchmaking words. As long as there are words, it's done.

  And for matchmaking agencies, they need to post ads, the two meet in person, if not satisfied, have to start over. Also have to send people to attend some blind date shows.

  There are too many leftover men and women nowadays, resulting in a proliferation of blind dating shows.

  What a coincidence! Among the matchmakers that Xing'er found for her, there were actually two who had helped Yu Shi try to drive her away in the past.

  Those two matchmakers saw Ye Yun, each with a dull complexion, and in their hearts they didn't know how much they regretted taking Yu Shi's money to help her oppose the future Mistress of the Zhuang.

  Now Ye Yun is in charge, and from now on, they can forget about the business of Ling Mu Mountain Villa.

  Ye Yun also happened to see them, pursing her lips and smiling.

  That's great! She was worried about not being able to return their previous "kind attack".

  Each matchmaker gets one painting and one silver ingot.

  "Here's 50 taels for each of you, just an initial payment, consider it your running errand fee. After the matter is settled, there will be a heavier reward. However, I also have my own requirements. Your identity must be noble."
