Chapter 334: Partners

ter, she only wore a single cotton coat. When the wind blew, her whole body trembled.She let out a sigh and pointed to the little girl, "Keep her. I'll give the others two silver coins each so they ca...“Let me have a look, and then we can talk about the next step of our cooperation. Otherwise, let’s just call it quits. Either way, I don’t really stand to lose anything.” Qin Luoyan extended her hand, palms open, waiting for Li Hai to return the parchment scroll.

Li Hai's face shifted, his eyebrows forming peaks like mountain ranges. A flash of murderous intent passed through his eyes as he gritted his teeth and said, "You also know you're not our match. What if we break your tendons and take you to uncover the secrets hidden in the other caves"

His ferocity didn't frighten Qin Luoyan. She just smiled coldly, her eyes filled with resentment, "You can try. Even after you break my hands and feet, I won't beg for my life I can't stop you from attacking me, can I still control my own fate Living is hard, and dying isn't easy either."

At such times, if one sets aside the concerns of life and death, some things become less complicated than they appear.

Seeing the tense atmosphere between the two, Li Yun felt embarrassed and could only persuade Qin Luoyan: "Why don't we do this My Li family is not particular about formalities. We can swear our marriage here. If you become part of my Li family, everything that belongs to my Li family will also belong to you! Then, I can show you this sheepskin scroll."

At this time, to propose marriage, Qin Luoyan sincerely felt a bit powerless. These men in ancient times were sometimes frighteningly feudal, but when they got ahead of themselves, it was also embarrassing! Is this what a man's proposal looked like in ancient times If it were truly the woman here, then that unfortunate woman who was proposed to would be pitiable indeed.

"I've told you, there's no possibility between us," Qin Luo said coldly. "I'm already married, and I have a child, so do you still think I'm your destined wife"

"What!" Li Hai exclaimed.

Li Yunfan was directly petrified on the spot, his face instantly left only pale.

This fact was too shocking for them. They must have held a very high position in the Li family's sacrificial rituals, especially when sacrifices were made to divine with their lives, they had never failed. So, when Qin Luoyan confirmed that language, they didn't even think she would become her own child!

“You… you’re serious” Li Yunfan shook his head, unable to believe it.

Since the source of Gengjin was Li's family's cave, Qin Luoyan's mission to infiltrate the armory this time was also considered complete. Therefore, she didn't have so many scruples anymore.

“Of course it's true, is this the kind of thing I would joke about” Qin Luoyan said after finishing, she rolled up her sleeve, revealing a smooth arm to the two men. Li Hai awkwardly turned his face away, but Li Yun's eyes gradually deepened. She added: "You know that women in Nan Yue country plant Guanying Sand when they are born, right So, now, do you believe me"

It was precisely because he knew, Li Yunfan's eyes dimmed completely, devoid of any light. His world seemed to plunge into an abyss of darkness in an instant.

He clenched his fists, unsure if it was sadness or anger that filled him. A metallic taste of blood rose in his throat.

She got married! She got married!

In his mind, this recognition was causing his heart to ache! He had lived for twenty years, the first time he felt love for a woman, but never expected such an ending.

"He..." Li Yun's mind was in turmoil. He opened his mouth, unable to help but ask, "Who is he Why would he tolerate you being among a group of men" If it were him, he absolutely wouldn't allow his beloved woman to face a group of men every day!

Qin Luo'yan sighed and didn't answer his question. Instead, she continued the previous topic: "Now is not the time to talk about him. Didn't you say there was only one hour left I think it's best for us to reach a consensus as soon as possible. We can't be lovers, but at least we can be partners."

"Partner" Li Yunfan hadn't heard that word before, but he could understand its meaning. Who would want to partner with her He only wanted her to be his wife!

“Yes, so, hand me the parchment scroll. I can assure you, I won't fight you for it.” As for what we get from collaborating in the future, that needs to be divided beforehand. Right now, we need to figure out what secrets are hidden within first.

Li Hai held the parchment tightly, but he didn't dare to give it to her. He could only look at Li Yunfan, after all, Li Yunfan was the eldest son of the head of the family and had a high probability of becoming the next head of the family. Therefore, at this time, having someone come forward to take the blame, he would not refuse.

Li Yunfan's gaze was fixed on Qin Luoyan, her determination and unwillingness to compromise, once again pierced his heart like a sword. He smiled sadly, choked out: "Uncle, show her the parchment scroll."

"Are you sure" Li Hai was still a little hesitant.

Li Yunfan nodded. "Don't worry, I'll take full responsibility. Besides, what other choices do you have now"

Li Hai let out a sigh and reluctantly placed the parchment in Qin Luoyan's palm.

Qin Luoyan didn't beat around the bush with the two of them. She directly unrolled the sheepskin scroll and, by the light of the night pearl, she discovered that it wasn't written on but a painting, to be precise, a part of a painting. It could be seen that the complete version of this painting should be a map.

Just imagine the value of all this gold! The knowledge and resources needed to gather and store it are unimaginable. In so many caves, with so much gold, any nation would be tempted. And once mapped out, divided into sections like this treasure, it would drive people absolutely mad with desire.

Li Hai feared she might still have some tricks up her sleeve, so he snatched the incomplete map back and carefully hid it in his bosom. "Alright, you've seen enough now. It's getting late, let's get out of here."

Li Yanshan also nodded and said to Qin Luoyan, "Yes, let's go outside and talk. The Xiao family should still be in the fog. I promised you, no matter what, I will keep my word."

Speaking of Xiao Fan, Qin Luo'yan was also anxious in her heart, so she didn't bother with Li Hai's act of snatching the picture. After responding, she followed the two out.

The way out was the same as the way in, but since they were here, Li Hai and Li Yunfan still put on a box of gold ornaments to throw people off.

Once again, she arrived at the edge of Cold Pond. This time, Qin Luoyan didn't need two people to remind her; she jumped into the water herself and swam ahead.
