The Whole Family Went Crazy After Reading My Mind Chapter 120: The Woman Who Likes An Yan
Dark Eagle recognized him as An Yan at a glance, something Ji Linfeng hadn’t expected.
He instantly attacked Dark Eagle, who seemed to understand Ji Linfeng’s intentions, completely ignoring Lone Wolf and Wu Laosan in the room, focusing solely on his fight with Ji Linfeng.
Lone Wolf had known all along that An Yan had betrayed the Dark Pavilion, so this confrontation was within his expectations.
Just as the two were drawing closer, Lone Wolf suddenly shouted, “Stop them!” At the same time, he struck Ji Linfeng with a palm.
In a flash, Ji Linfeng and Dark Eagle moved with perfect coordination: one parried, the other drew a short sword and stabbed at Qin Wan.
The latter was determined to kill Qin Wan, even at the cost of injury.
He hated An Yan for stealing the booklet, but now, he would rather it be in the Crown Prince’s hands. In the past few days, many brothers in the Dark Pavilion had died, all at the hands of Wu Laosan.
He hated it!
Qin Wan was dead, stabbed to death by Dark Eagle, and Dark Eagle was about to die too. Wu Laosan pierced Ji Linfeng’s chest with a single sword strike. Ji Linfeng and Lone Wolf began fighting.
“An Yan, from now on, the Dark Pavilion is yours. That booklet, you, you must give it to the Crown Prince.”
Lone Wolf, who was sparring with Ji Linfeng, frowned upon hearing this. “What booklet?” His intuition told him that this booklet was very unfavorable to his master.
An Ying ignored him, coughing up blood, and said to Ji Linfeng on his deathbed, “I, I intended to hand over the Dark Pavilion to you from the beginning, but you, you…”
You betrayed my trust.
Ji Linfeng was dumbfounded. He knew that An Yan was determined to kill An Ying and take his place. Little did he know that this guy had long wanted to give him the position of Dark Pavilion Master.
If he had known this earlier, why would he have stolen the booklet? After all the twists and turns, he still got the Dark Pavilion.
Just now, he signaled to Dark Eagle with his eyes that any grudges could be dealt with later, and that they should unite against a common enemy. As expected of Dark Eagle, who had worked with him for several years, he understood instantly.
Ji Linfeng and Lone Wolf were evenly matched, neither gaining the upper hand for a long time, when Wu Laosan thrust his sword forward.
Wu Laosan intended to launch a sneak attack on Ji Linfeng when he was off guard.
“Be careful!” Dark Eagle exclaimed in surprise, then his face lit up with delight.
He saw Wu Laosan stab Ji Linfeng in the neck, but the one who fell to the ground was not Ji Linfeng, but Wu Laosan.
He had just been testing Ji Linfeng, but now he believed that he was An Yan. Because An Yan was sometimes just that unpredictable. Sometimes when he was injured, his wounds would heal inexplicably. What surprised him most was that An Yan never took the antidote.
That was why he was preparing to hand over the Dark Pavilion to him. Who would have thought that this kid would run away and steal the booklet?
Taking advantage of Lone Wolf’s moment of surprise, Ji Linfeng retaliated with a thrust, stabbing Lone Wolf in the abdomen.
If it weren’t for his little sister giving him this life-saving talisman, he would have lost his life here.
Lone Wolf realized that Ji Linfeng was strange and dared not continue the fight, jumping out of the window wounded.
Ji Linfeng wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by Dark Eagle. “Don’t go, I can’t go on. I’m handing the Dark Pavilion over to you.” He produced a token, the Dark Pavilion’s symbol of its leader.
He placed the token in Ji Linfeng’s hand, speaking his last words with great anguish: “The Third Prince doesn’t know about the book, but the Dark Pavilion knows too many of his secrets. Coupled with An Chi’s deception, the Third Prince is narrow-minded and won’t tolerate us. You must give the book to the Crown Prince. We can’t let the Third Prince succeed, otherwise the Dark Pavilion will have no future.”
The Third Prince had once tried to recruit the Dark Pavilion to his cause, but Ji Linfeng refused.
“I will give the book to the Crown Prince, but I am not An Yan, but Ji-Lin-Feng.” Ji Linfeng held the token tightly in his hand, then leaned closer to An Ying and slowly uttered these words.
“What? You, you…you clearly…” How could this be? How could this be? He was so similar to An Yan.
If he wasn’t An Yan, why did he possess the Dark Pavilion’s unique killing technique?
I don’t believe it, I don’t believe it.
“Pfft.”
Enraged, Dark Eagle died on the spot, his life filled with intense resentment.
His eyes, wide open in death, remained unclosed.
Ji Linfeng shrugged, innocently examining the token in his hand. He muttered softly, “I didn’t kill you. The grievance has its source, the debt its debtor. If you become a ghost, go find the Third Prince.”
“You killed the Pavilion Master?”
Ji Linfeng, holding the token, was about to get up when a terrified female voice suddenly came from behind him.
The moment the voice rang out, Ji Linfeng’s body trembled.
Before he even turned around, he felt the intense killing intent emanating from the other person.
Ji Linfeng slightly shifted his body, then turned around to see two women entering. One of them immediately attacked him.
The other, her face a mixture of shock and surprise, exclaimed, “You, you are An Yan?”
Ji Linfeng didn’t speak, instead engaging the other woman in combat.
“Zhi Rong, stop! He is An Yan!” The woman tried to intervene, but the woman named Rong pushed her aside, determined to avenge Dark Yan.
“I don’t care who he is, whoever kills Dark Eagle must die! Especially since he’s a traitor, he deserves to die even more.” Zhi Rong’s face was fierce, each move deadly.
Ji Linfeng exchanged blows with the woman while searching for information about the two women in An Yan’s memories.
Soon, he learned their information. The woman named Zhi Rong was Dark Eagle’s woman. She was also an orphan that Dark Eagle had rescued from outside, her full name being Wen Zhi Rong. The other woman was named Xu Ya Qing, Dark Eagle’s most valued person. It is worth mentioning that she had admired An Yan for many years.
An Yan had never reciprocated because he didn’t need emotions. As an assassin, emotions were the most deadly.
For some reason, Ji Linfeng froze for a moment, and it was this moment that gave the other party an opportunity. He immediately struck with a palm.
“Be careful!” Seeing Ji Linfeng freeze, Xu Ya Qing stepped forward without hesitation to block the palm strike.
Ji Linfeng snapped out of his daze and instinctively shielded the rushing Xu Ya Qing behind him, turning his back to Wen Zhi Rong. A muffled thud rang out as Wen Zhirong, sent flying, was pierced through the body by an upright sword.
She was dead beyond any doubt. Ji Linfeng, however, was completely unharmed.
Xu Yaqing stared blankly at Ji Linfeng; if it weren’t for her face mask, Ji Linfeng would have seen the flush on her face.
Realizing their awkward position, Ji Linfeng quickly steadied her and coldly said, “It was just a moment of panic, don’t overthink it.”
Did he think she was overthinking it?
Xu Yaqing nodded blankly.
Her nod only made things worse; Ji Linfeng felt he couldn’t explain himself even with ten mouths. He had someone he loved, and he was about to get married. They were completely on different paths.
Ji Linfeng stopped looking at her and turned to leave. Xu Yaqing suddenly called out to him, “An Yan, I’ve been looking for you.”
Hearing this, Ji Linfeng felt utterly overwhelmed.
Xu Yaqing knew that An Yan was a man of few words, so she didn’t mind his silence. Instead, she looked concerned for him and said, “Even if you killed the Pavilion Master and Wen Zhirong, I won’t report you. Now that you have the token, you are the next Pavilion Master. I will stand by your side and help you clear things up. You didn’t kill the Pavilion Master and Wen Zhirong.”
Ji Linfeng replied, “I didn’t kill Dark Eagle in the first place. Wen Zhirong brought this upon herself.”
