The Liao Siblings

Chapter 91 The Liao Siblings

Upon hearing this, Liao Yudie, who was standing to the side, immediately spoke up in a dissatisfied tone: "You bastard, do you even know what we're doing this for—"

"Yu Die, watch your words!" Liao Changfeng hurriedly stopped him.

Then, he sincerely said to Nan Xu, "I'm so sorry, my sister is impolite. I apologize to you on her behalf."

"If Brother Nan truly has urgent business, we will absolutely not force him."

"Hmph!" Liao Yudie crossed her arms, glared at Nan Xu with dissatisfaction, and said nothing more.

Nan Xu said calmly, "I'm sorry, but this order really can't be delayed."

"If your orders don't take long and can be completed within two days, and you also place an expedited order for me, guaranteeing that my order can be completed within a week, I'm willing to agree."

Upon hearing this, Liao Changfeng gave a wry smile: "This—I'm afraid it will be difficult. Master Wu said that our order will take at least five or six days to complete."

With that, he stood up and bowed to Nan Xu: "I am aware of Brother Nan's difficulties. In that case, we will not disturb you any further."

"This meal is offered as an apology for my impudent request. Please, Brother Nan, do not stand on ceremony and enjoy it."

Upon hearing this, Liao Yudie's face showed anxiety: "Brother! What if it really runs into the nearby villages and kills people?"

"Alright!" Liao Changfeng's tone became much harsher. "Little sister, even so, this matter has nothing to do with them."

"Our request was presumptuous in the first place, so it's normal that we didn't get your consent."

"As for the ferocious beast, we can only leave it to the government to handle. If they act quickly enough, I don't think many villagers will be harmed."

After saying that, he bowed apologetically to Nan Xu and said, "We're sorry to have bothered you, we'll be leaving now."

'

Wait a minute.

Liao Changfeng immediately stopped what he was doing.

Nan Xu looked at his posture and a slight smile appeared on his lips: "Brother Changfeng, are you just waiting for me to say 'Wait a minute'?"

"What a clever tactic of playing hard to get. If I were truly an inexperienced but kind-hearted and easily deceived young man, I probably would have agreed after hearing you say that."

Upon hearing this, Liao Changfeng shook his head and smiled helplessly: "I still couldn't hide it from Brother Nan's discerning eyes."

"My words just now were indeed meant to provoke, and they weren't exactly aboveboard."

"However, the ferocious beast my sister spoke of is not unfounded. I was eager to eliminate the threat, which is why I resorted to this desperate measure."

Upon hearing Liao Changfeng's explanation, Nan Xu smiled slightly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

Then, a look of interest appeared on his face: "I'm actually quite curious, what does your desire to place an order in advance have to do with this ferocious beast?"

"Although I can't postpone my own orders, if the situation is right, perhaps I can help you out in another way."

Liao Changfeng was somewhat surprised upon hearing this, but he quickly composed himself and explained, "To be honest, this is our fault. The ferocious beast was a black bear. We had formed a hunting team on our recent trip, and that's when we encountered it."

"We saw that its bear paws were plump and wanted to hunt it, but who would have thought that this ferocious beast was so strong? It not only injured one of our team members, but also destroyed four or five of our weapons, and even my sword was broken."

"Now, it has probably escaped its original habitat and may have fled to the mountains and villages, endangering people's lives."

"Weapons made of iron cannot penetrate the beast's fur, so we went to Master Wu to repair my sword and get everyone a few new weapons so that we can kill it before it causes any more harm."

"I see." Nan Xu nodded.

Clearly, the Liao siblings were not professional food hunters, but rather two wealthy young men and women who came to experience life.

He then asked, "Then why not hire more people?"

Liao Changfeng sighed: "I wish I could too, but there are no famous martial arts masters here, and the government's martial arts officers hold important positions, so it's difficult for them to leave their posts and accompany us into the wilderness."

"Although a great reward will surely attract brave men, ordinary mortal warriors would likely be in mortal danger if they faced that ferocious beast."

,

"I can go with you," Nan Xu said. "I'm quite confident in my skills."

"However, I want one of the black bear's paws."

Liao Changfeng hesitated for a moment, then advised, "Brother Nan, you are very righteous, but that black bear is very skilled and has demonic power. Even if you are a chef with considerable internal strength, you could easily be in danger if you don't have combat experience."

Nan Xu smiled and said, "Brother Changfeng, if you don't believe me, feel free to try my skills."

Although he wasn't a professional food hunter in his previous life, as a player, he managed to take his part-time job as a food hunter to the fourth rank.

Even though his combat experience was somewhat weaker than that of professional hunters of the same rank, his fifth-rank lightness skill and fourth-rank swordsmanship were more than enough to deal with a black bear.

"This—" Liao Changfeng was about to say something when Liao Yudie interrupted him.

"You've got some guts, but I don't know if it's confidence or arrogance."

The hostility in Liao Yudie's voice subsided considerably, and she eagerly picked up a white porcelain chopstick from the table.

"Since you brought it up yourself, let me test your skills on behalf of my elder brother!"

A gust of wind swept by, and in the blink of an eye, Liao Yudie, dressed in hunting attire, flashed in front of Nan Xu, her chopsticks pointing straight at his forehead with undiminished force!

Seeing that Nan Xu still had no reaction, Liao Yudie assumed that he was just scared out of his wits and couldn't help but scoff inwardly: "Tch, I thought he was something special, but he's just a coward."

But the next moment, she was surprised to find that Nan Xu had disappeared in front of her!

With a "whoosh," a flash of snow-white light appeared, and the hair ribbon binding Liao Yudie's hair snapped instantly, causing her high ponytail to fall loose.

Liao Yudie turned around in surprise and saw Nan Xu holding a white porcelain chopstick, looking at her with a smile.

The sharp blade light just now was actually emitted by the opponent using this chopstick!

She subconsciously touched her hair, only to find that the knife had only cut her hairband, without affecting her hair in the slightest.

"What superb lightness skill, what swift swordsmanship!"

Liao Yudie was not angry; instead, she showed an expression of admiration.

Nan Xu smiled slightly: "Miss Yu Die, you're not angry that I broke your hair ribbon?"

"Hmph, it's just a tattered rag." Liao Yudie crossed her arms. "Although it wasn't very polite, my tone wasn't very good either, so let's call it even."

Upon hearing this, Nan Xu nodded secretly, and the last trace of concern in his heart disappeared.

It seems that these two are indeed potential partners. Even though Liao Yudie may seem a bit arrogant at first glance, she is just a bit outspoken and won't hold a grudge against him over trivial matters.
