"Topic? What topic? I'm here to ask about your final decision! Will you leave here and retire, or let me take care of your greatest adversaries?" Han Li withdrew his gaze from the woman in the yellow dress and spoke bluntly, with no trace of courtesy.
Upon hearing Han Li's words, Yan Shi furrowed her brows slightly and said slowly to Han Li, "Master Han, please don't be hasty! After much consideration yesterday, my sisters and I have decided to choose the second option. However, there is a slight modification we hope for."
"I believe I've already stated that I don't wish for any bargaining from you ladies. This matter is non-negotiable. Either fully agree to my conditions or choose the second option." Han Li's expression turned stern as he interrupted.
"Master, how do you find the appearance of our three young ladies?" Yan Shi ignored Han Li's displeasure and suddenly shifted the conversation to the Mo sisters.
"With complexions like yours, it's not an exaggeration to describe the three young ladies as stunning beauties!" Han Li was momentarily stunned but then chuckled lightly, vaguely understanding Yan Shi's intentions.
"Our request is not unreasonable. As long as you can eliminate the leaders of the Five-Color Sect and the Dominating Villa, we will not only provide you with the Warm Sun Jade, but also offer the three of us sisters to you as wives. You've been eyeing Fengwu, haven't you? As long as you agree, she'll be yours!" Yan Shi pointed to the women behind her, including Mo Yuzhu, and said earnestly.
"Fourth Sister!"
"Mother."
Mo Yuzhu and Mo Caihuan's faces changed drastically, unable to contain their surprise. Obviously, they hadn't received any prior information about this arrangement, and Yan Shi's easy promise had shocked them.
However, Mo Fengwu, apart from her slightly pale complexion, managed to remain composed.
No wonder they were so panicked. Han Li was really unremarkable in appearance, and compared to the ideal husband in their hearts, he was vastly different, with no resemblance whatsoever. How could they willingly marry Han Li?
"Enough! This matter has been decided by your aunt and me. You're not allowed to go back on your word. Otherwise, you'll be expelled from the Mo Residence immediately." Yan Shi's face darkened, and she said coldly.
With that statement, the Mo sisters were all stunned.
Mo Yuzhu bit her lip lightly, her face turning ashen, while Mo Caihuan looked at her second and fifth mothers, who usually doted on her the most, with a pleading expression in her eyes. Only Mo Fengwu remained slightly better, but her body trembled slightly as she leaned against the wall behind her, motionless.
"No need to threaten the young ladies! I cannot agree to your conditions. As I've said before, I won't take unnecessary risks. I cherish my life too much!" After a moment of silence, Han Li replied in a deep voice, firmly rejecting Yan Shi's proposal.
Though Han Li was not indifferent to the stunning beauty of the Mo sisters, he had carefully considered the consequences. If he truly exterminated the leaders of the Five-Color Sect and the Dominating Villa, it would surely attract the attention of those in power and potentially bring disaster upon himself.
Han Li realized that the Mo sisters were like hot potatoes, ones he absolutely couldn't touch. Right now, he just wanted to quickly rid himself of the cold toxin in his body and leave this troublesome place. The fate of the Mo Residence afterward was none of his concern.
Although Han Li's refusal displeased Yan Shi and the others, it greatly endeared him to the Mo sisters. Even the youngest, Mo Caihuan, couldn't help but break into tears of laughter, making a face at Han Li.
Even Mo Yuzhu and Mo Fengwu looked at Han Li with softer eyes, viewing him in a different light.
Yan Shi sighed and exchanged a glance with Li Shi and the others before turning back and saying helplessly, "Since Master Han disagrees, let's forget it! We'll accept your conditions. As long as you can kill Ouyang Feitian, the master of the Dominating Villa, we'll deliver the Warm Sun Jade to you and provide the antidote."
"Hehe! You ladies have quite the strategy! I've heard that Ouyang Feitian is in his prime, and he has no children yet. If he dies, the Dominating Villa will surely collapse, and his subordinates will scatter, leaving no time to worry about the Five-Color Sect." Han Li rubbed his nose and chuckled lightly.
Upon hearing Han Li's words, Yan Shi shot him a disdainful look.
"Not only that, do you know who sent Wu Jianming? It was this Ouyang master himself, and he's also Ouyang Feitian's seventh disciple, highly favored by him."
"This master of the Dominating Villa and our husband are of the same generation, about the same age, and both have ambitious aspirations to dominate the entire Lan Prefecture. Therefore, he adopted a strategy of appearing weak at first, then becoming strong, aiming to eliminate our Jiao Long Society first, and then deal with the Five-Color Sect."
"A few years ago, he incited my husband's righteous younger brother, Ma Kongtian, and my husband's second disciple, Zhao Kun, to try to split up the Jiao Long Society, but they were exposed by us sisters and were dealt with beforehand. However, the Jiao Long Society suffered greatly as a result, and under the pressure from the Dominating Villa, we had no choice but to withdraw our forces and defend Jiayuan City."
Yan Shi revealed some secrets about the Jiao Long Society.
"But with your current power in Jiayuan City seemingly not significant, why doesn't the Dominating Villa just launch a full-scale attack and wipe you out?" Han Li pondered for a moment, somewhat puzzled.
"Hehe! That madman Ouyang Feitian dares not attack this place for a reason. If you want to know, just agree to our original conditions, and I'll tell you." The third lady giggled, half-truthfully and half-jokingly.
"Hehe! Let's forget about it. I'm just a little curious!" Han Li remained indifferent.
"Really! You don't seem like a man at all. You're not even willing to exert a little effort!" The third lady pouted, as if teasing Han Li.
Yan Shi and the others pretended not to notice the third lady's behavior, but the Mo sisters blushed slightly. After all, it was unacceptable for their elders to joke openly about the person they were originally supposed to marry.
Mo Caihuan pursed her lips and gave Han Li a fierce glare.
But Han Li seemed oblivious, continuing to speak in his own way, "The third lady speaks so lightly, but even a little effort could endanger my life. Whether I act like a man or not, as long as I'm still a man, it's enough!"
Perhaps Han Li's final words were too explicit, not only causing the third lady across from him to be momentarily stunned, but also eliciting a coquettish smile from her. Even Yan Shi and Li Shi were somewhat displeased.
"The young master intends to take Ou Yang Feitian's life? This man spends his days hiding in the villa, rarely venturing out. Moreover, his martial arts skills are superb, and he is quite cunning, making him quite difficult to deal with," Yan Shi said sternly.
"Don't worry, Madam. As long as you provide me with a good horse and a portrait of this man, I will make him disappear from this world," Han Li said indifferently.
"Let's hope so," Yan Shi said softly.
"But before that, shouldn't you all give me a guarantee? To ensure that when I return after completing the task, you ladies won't go back on your word?" Han Li said lightly.
"What guarantee does the gentleman need?" Yan Shi didn't show any dissatisfaction, apparently anticipating this.
"These pills in this bottle, please have each of you take one. As for what they are, I won't say. Anyway, when I come back after killing Ou Yang Liantian, I'll exchange the antidote for the gemstone you hold," Han Li took out a porcelain bottle, placed it on the table, and then looked coldly at Yan Shi and the others.
Without a second word, Yan Shi reached out her delicate jade hand, grabbed the bottle, poured out a green pill, glanced at Li Shi and the others, and then swallowed it.
"Brave and decisive! Truly worthy of being the leader of the Jiao Ao Society," Han Li couldn't help but applaud, then his gaze shifted to the others.
