Chapter 1 He is Aiming at Me

Upon hearing this, Yuan Muye immediately understood that the man's target was himself. It couldn't be Xiao Qiang, could it?

Liang Sencheng also realized that the man had captured him to lure Yuan Muye out. So, the man was truly after Yuan Muye.

Yuan Muye looked at the man indifferently and said, "What do you want?"

"What do you usually do with people who get in your way?" the man asked rhetorically.

The implication was that Yuan Muye was an obstacle.

Yuan Muye wasn't stupid; of course, he could understand that.

"Someone like you, I'd just kill directly," Yuan Muye retorted coldly.

The man suddenly laughed, looking at Yuan Muye with cold eyes. Although he didn't say anything, his gaze was intimidating enough.

Yuan Muye met the man's gaze, feeling as if he was looking at Yuan Xiaoyao's shadow.

Could this man be related to Yuan Xiaoyao?

"Muye, the death energy on this guy is really heavy," Liang Sencheng whispered in Yuan Muye's ear.

If he hadn't said that, Yuan Muye wouldn't have noticed. Now, taking a closer look, the man indeed had a heavy aura of death. If it weren't for the only trace of life energy supporting him, he would be no different from a living corpse.

Yuan Muye immediately realized that this man was not the real mastermind.

The real mastermind must be someone else.

"It's not certain who kills who yet!" the man said coldly.

Yuan Muye frowned slightly. Indeed, the outcome was still uncertain.

However, he absolutely couldn't die.

"Can I ask you a question?" Yuan Muye asked, looking at the man with calm eyes.

The man seemed to have anticipated what he would ask, giving him a faint glance and saying, "Are you going to ask me who I am? Actually, who I am doesn't matter, after all, I'm just a puppet."

Hearing this, Yuan Muye was also stunned. This guy knew he was a puppet?

He felt that something was strange, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

"Then who is the person behind you?" Yuan Muye asked again.

Things had already reached this point. Shouldn't the mastermind appear?

Not only did they not show up, but they also sent someone who was almost a living corpse. What was that supposed to mean?

Did they look down on him?

The man stared at Yuan Muye expressionlessly. After a long while, he finally said, "Do you think I'll tell you?"

Yuan Muye was momentarily speechless. It seemed unlikely that he would get the man to reveal anything.

Forget it. As long as he dealt with the man, even if the mastermind didn't show up, he should be able to discover something.

"Hurry up and make your move," Yuan Muye didn't want to waste any more words.

The man didn't rush to attack. He looked at Yuan Muye with a smile that was not a smile. Without saying anything, he charged straight at him.

His speed was very fast. Yuan Muye didn't have time to react. By the time he reacted, the man was already standing in front of him.

At this moment, the distance between the two of them was only a step away.

Looking at the man at close range, Yuan Muye felt that the man's features were even more similar to Yuan Xiaoyao's.

"Have we met somewhere before?" Yuan Muye suddenly asked.

This question directly confused the man.

If a man said this to a woman, it would be normal. But for a man to say it to another man, wasn't it strange?

"If I were a woman, I might believe it. But I'm a man. Even if you took a fancy to me, you shouldn't say such a cliché," the man said coldly.

Hearing this, Yuan Muye's face darkened. He didn't expect this man's thought process to be so peculiar, actually thinking along those lines. He was truly speechless.

"You may have misunderstood. I mean you look a bit like my younger sister."

Yuan Muye's reply made the man's expression even uglier.

Did he mean to say that he looked like a woman?

"Are you fucking kidding me?" the man said sharply.

Yuan Muye then realized that what he had said was indeed a bit inappropriate, but there was nothing wrong with what he said!

"No, you'll know when you meet my sister."

Although Yuan Muye wasn't sure if the man in front of him was related to Yuan Xiaoyao, it was a rare encounter, so he wanted Yuan Xiaoyao to meet this man.

If there was no connection, he wouldn't lose anything.

"I see, you're trying to stall for time, right? Your sister isn't here. Who knows when we'll meet your sister." The man replied somewhat angrily.

Yuan Muye shook his head and said, "It won't take that long, a minute is enough."

After saying that, he directly entered the jade stone world.

Xiao Qiang and the man were both stunned when they saw him disappear into thin air in front of them. But before they could recover, Yuan Muye had already brought Yuan Xiaoyao out of the jade stone world.

The man looked at Yuan Muye in shock, but what shocked him the most was Yuan Xiaoyao.

Putting everything else aside, the first time he saw Yuan Xiaoyao, he felt an indescribable sense of closeness.

They were clearly meeting for the first time, so why did he have such a feeling?

Who was this little girl?

The man stared at Yuan Xiaoyao for a long time.

Seeing the man staring at her, Yuan Xiaoyao said to Yuan Muye with some disgust, "Why is this guy staring at me?"

"Xiaoyao, haven't you noticed that this man looks a bit like you?" Yuan Muye said in a low voice.

If he hadn't said that, Yuan Xiaoyao wouldn't have noticed. She carefully sized up the man and felt that the man's eyebrows and eyes did look somewhat similar to hers.

For a moment, their eyes met, and a strange atmosphere filled the air.

Just as the man was about to say something, his mind suddenly exploded, and he felt unbearable pain. His expression also became somewhat distorted.

Yuan Xiaoyao was also stunned for a moment, thinking it was her fault.

"What's with that expression? Even if you don't want to see me, you don't have to make it so obvious, right?" Yuan Xiaoyao pouted and said.

The man shook his head, looked at Yuan Xiaoyao with a painful expression, and asked, "Who exactly are you? Why does my head hurt as soon as I see you?"

Hearing this, Yuan Muye also felt a little strange.

Was this a coincidence, or was there another reason?

If it wasn't a coincidence, why would the man's head hurt as soon as he saw Yuan Xiaoyao?

Yuan Xiaoyao was stunned in place, frowned slightly, and said, "Even if I tell you my name, you wouldn't know me!"

"Ah!"

As she spoke, the man's head hurt even more. At the same time, some fragmented scenes flashed through his mind, seemingly about his past memories.

In fact, this had happened before, but it wasn't as painful as it was now.
