Chapter 973: Changing One’s Mind Faster Than Turning a Page!
Nangong Ningyue bit her lip, feeling conflicted and struggling inside.
Her meaning was already very clear. In plain words, she wanted to trade her body for Su Yi’s rescue.
The remaining eleven members of the Cangyue Mercenary Group beside her all moved together when they heard this, wanting to say something. However, Nangong Ningyue waved her hand to interrupt them.
Nangong Ningyue gazed at Su Yi, her confidence unwavering. She believed that, with her appearance, she could make any man fall for her.
When she had been tied to the city wall by Ran Yan, her clothes torn and ragged, she had noticed many longing stares from those passing by below.
Of course, she also saw this young man at that moment. His eyes alone stood out—pure and different from the others.
However, Nangong Ningyue thought that since she had practically thrown herself at him, there was no reason for him to turn her down!
But Su Yi’s response caught her completely off guard.
“Not interested!”
Su Yi calmly glanced at Nangong Ningyue and said those words.
The bluntness of his response left her feeling humiliated. Her face was stained and disheveled, yet the discomfort was unmistakably written all over her beautiful face.
Clearly, she hadn’t expected Su Yi to refuse so decisively.
After a few more words, Su Yi turned around and began walking away, not willing to waste any more time on her.
Though not heartless, Su Yi wasn’t oblivious to his feelings toward women.
But when it came to principles, Su Yi could make decisions with precision, resisting any foolish temptations, no matter how attractive.
Moreover, despite Nangong Ningyue’s obvious beauty, compared to the women he had already encountered, she seemed quite ordinary.
Once one’s standards were raised, they became less impressed by what was ordinary.
The eleven members of the Cangyue Mercenary Group standing by her side exchanged glances, their displeasure evident. Had Su Yi not saved them earlier, they would have likely confronted him.
“Wait, sir!”
As Su Yi walked away without looking back, Nangong Ningyue felt helpless.
Just like what Su Yi had said, the lives of his twelve companions were not his concern. Helping them had already been a favor, and he had no obligation to offer any further assistance.
However, Nangong Ningyue was well aware of the formidable strength of the Seven Star Sword Sect. With her companions heavily injured, they wouldn’t be able to escape too far. If Su Yi didn’t help them, they would eventually fall into the hands of the Seven Star Sword Sect.
In the end, they would not be able to avoid a tragic fate!
So, all their hopes now rested on this young man!
“As long as you safely lead us out, I can tell you a message about a treasure!”
Nangong Ningyue shouted loudly towards Su Yi’s back.
Hearing these words, Su Yi suddenly paused and turned around, raising an eyebrow as he asked, “What treasure?”
Seeing Su Yi finally showing interest, Nangong Ningyue couldn’t help but smile triumphantly.
However, the thought that she couldn’t even compare to a simple treasure message made her feel inexplicably bitter.
“This information is absolutely reliable, and the treasure within is extremely extraordinary. It will surely satisfy our kind benefactor!”
Nangong Ningyue adjusted her expression and said, “By saving us, you have become our kind benefactor! However, if I share this information with you, it will be an exchange. As long as you can safely take us away from here, once the turmoil subsides, I will reveal everything I know to you!”
While speaking, Nangong Ningyue’s eyes showed sincerity and didn’t seem deceitful.
Su Yi, hearing this, fell into a brief silence. He stared intently at the woman opposite him, without speaking, just staring straight at her.
“Does our kind benefactor not trust me?”
Under Su Yi’s gaze, Nangong Ningyue felt an inexplicable sense of panic in her heart. She hastily added, “I, Nangong Ningyue, have always conducted myself uprightly and never speak falsely. If our kind benefactor truly cannot trust me, then so be it!”
“Hahaha, of course I trust you!”
Just as Nangong Ningyue was feeling anxious, Su Yi suddenly revealed a bright smile, looking at her as if she were a loved one. He quickly ran back and said, “Let’s not delay any longer, let’s go!”
While speaking, Su Yi reached out to support Nangong Ningyue, and with his other hand, he helped a member of the Cangyue Mercenary Group. He pulled them along and started walking.
Such a big change really surprised everyone. Their brains couldn’t keep up with the rhythm.
Many people were silently cursing in their hearts: this guy changes his mind faster than flipping a book!
“Thank you, sir!”
But Nangong Ningyue didn’t care about that. She quickly said thank you, afraid that Su Yi would change his mind. She turned to her subordinates and gave them instructions to take care of each other and follow behind Su Yi.
Some of these people had their tendons and muscles broken, so even after Su Yi lifted the restrictions on them, they couldn’t regain their mobility. They had to use other methods.
Su Yi didn’t support Nangong Ningyue all the time, as her injury was relatively light and she could move by herself.
In order not to waste time, Su Yi had to take two members of the Cangyue Mercenary Group and move at high speed.
Because there were too many wounded people, Su Xiaoshuai was even pulled out by him from his arms. He dragged two patients while fluttering his wings to fly.
In this way, the speed of everyone became truly impressive.
Su Yi couldn’t afford to waste any more time, because he knew that news in Sword Star City would spread quickly, and the Seven Star Sword Sect would not give up easily.
If he wanted to go back, he would have to pass through the deserted mountains and dense forests outside the city. He didn’t know when the people from the Seven Star Sword Sect would catch up!
In the end, Su Yi changed his mind and decided to bring the members of the Cangyue Mercenary Group with him. It wasn’t just because of the news about the treasure mentioned by Nangong Ningyue, but also due to some other reasons.
He had been traveling with Su Xiaoshuai after leaving the Golden Dragon Space but ended up in Sword Star City. It was because he was completely unfamiliar with this forest that he got lost in it.
At this moment, with the presence of the Cangyue Mercenary Group, who had made a name for themselves here, it was certain that they would be very familiar with this forest.
Su Yi knew that he couldn’t successfully navigate through this place without guidance from Nangong Ningyue and the others.
Only by doing so could he truly escape from the pursuit of the Seven Star Sword Sect!
Additionally, there were also people from the Green Dark Sect and the Golden Sword Sect. If he encountered them in the forest, Su Yi felt that without his older brother Xi Wuqing, the Green Emperor, and Yin-yang Dark Emperor, he would probably be in trouble!
