Divine King of Honour-Chapter 524 - 523: Beimo County Governor

Hua Gesang paced back and forth outside.

Several times she desired to step forward and eavesdrop.

But the big man beside her was watching, so she had to suppress her curiosity.

Yet she still didn't understand, what on earth was Xu Nian talking to the Iron Blood Mercenary Corps Leader about?

"Could Xu Nian possibly be selling his own... " Hua Gesang suddenly had a very dirty thought.

The thought frightened even herself.

"Creak!"

Just as Hua Gesang felt ashamed of her bold thoughts,

The door to the inner hall swung open.

Xu Nian and the Iron Blood Mercenary Corps Leader came out.

Most importantly, Xu Nian and the Iron Blood Mercenary Corps Leader were actually shouldering each other.

This surprised Hua Gesang momentarily.

Xu Nian was actually shoulder to shoulder with the Iron Blood Mercenary Corps Leader.

This was a man at the Peak of Body King, how could he be so intimate with Xu Nian?

Could there really be some unspeakable secret?

"What were you talking about inside? He didn't hurt you, did he?" Hua Gesang saw Xu Nian come out and quickly pulled him to ask.

"No, we were just catching up. Brother Tie Xue has been to East Field County before and got injured. It so happened that my father saved him, so we've known each other for a while," said Xu Nian with a smile.

"Is that really so?" Hua Gesang looked at the Iron Blood Mercenary Corps Leader with a puzzled face and asked.

"Yes, yes, yes, it's really like flushing away the dragon temple, the family doesn't recognize its own!" the Iron Blood Mercenary Corps Leader said, nodding repeatedly.

However, as he spoke, the corners of his mouth twitched.

"So you're not going to kill me anymore?"

Hua Gesang looked surprised, not expecting the Iron Blood Mercenary Corps Leader's attitude to change so quickly.

Hearing Hua Gesang's words, the Iron Blood Mercenary Corps Leader hurriedly said, "No killing, how dare I... oh no, why would I kill you. Since you're Brother Xu Nian's friend, we're all family, all one family."

As the Iron Blood Mercenary Corps Leader spoke, his gaze couldn't help but flick over to Xu Nian.

Cold sweat broke out on his back.

One sign of dissatisfaction from the god of death at his side, and he would be snuffed out with a flick of a finger.

Peak of Eight-star War Saint!

Killing him would really be as easy as slaughtering a chicken.

Hua Gesang saw the Iron Blood Mercenary Corps Leader's expression and became puzzled in her mind.

Even if Xu Nian's father had once saved him, he wouldn't be so humble, would he?

It seemed like he was quite afraid of Xu Nian.

"So, do you still want me to be your woman?" Hua Gesang continued to ask.

At this question, the Iron Blood Mercenary Corps Leader nearly cried.

Granny, please stop asking such questions.

How would I dare to have you as my woman, I'm more like your son.

Yet these words were ones that the Iron Blood Mercenary Corps Leader would never say out loud.

So, he could only put on a smiling face and said to Hua Gesang, "You're so beautiful, I simply don't match up to you. I was just joking just now."

After speaking, he even wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

This detail, of course, did not escape Hua Gesang's eyes.

She just couldn't comprehend why the Iron Blood Mercenary Corps Leader would do such a one-hundred-eighty-degree turn in attitude.

"Alright, Brother Tie Xue, you might as well tell us who hired you to kill our miss," Xu Nian said to the Iron Blood Mercenary Corps Leader.

"Right, you just mentioned someone offered a million for my life, surely that wasn't a joke?" Hua Gesang quickly asked.

The leader of the Iron Blood Mercenary Corps, upon hearing these words, hesitated for a moment.

However, when he saw Xu Nian's piercing gaze, he dared not hide anything.

He began to speak, "Yes, it's the Lord of Beimo County, his daughter and Miss Hua Gesang are both contenders for the Luotian Sect Holy Daughter in two days. I'm sure Miss Hua Gesang is aware of the fierce competition for the Holy Daughter of the Luotian Sect. Since Miss Hua Gesang has always been extraordinarily talented, naturally, she poses a significant threat to the Lord of Beimo County's daughter."

"So it's her," Hua Gesang said, anger welling up in her eyes at his words.

She had heard about the Lord's daughter.

She was known in Beimo as the Heavenly Pride Girl, who had broken through to the Battle General Realm before the age of eighteen.

She just hadn't expected this wretch to want to get rid of her before the competition.

Xu Nian furrowed his brow as well.

It was an assassination attempt due to the competition for the Holy Daughter.

The Lord of Beimo County's daughter was definitely no good either.

"And how strong is the Lord of Beimo County?" Xu Nian inquired.

"The Prefectural Governor is a Saint Level master, rumored to have broken through to the Three-star Saint Realm. Given the election for the Holy Daughter is forthcoming, he will surely bring his daughter along. If Miss Hua Gesang intends to participate, she must be cautious. After all, open assault is easy to evade, but hidden attacks are hard to guard against," said the Iron Blood Mercenary Corps leader.

Hearing this, an expression of anger and tension appeared on Hua Gesang's pretty face.

Clearly, she realized this election would be more difficult than she'd anticipated.

And the opponent had a father who was a Three-star Saint Level.

If he really made a move against her in secret, it would be challenging for her to win.

The leader of the Iron Blood Mercenary Corps could see what Hua Gesang was thinking.

However, he thought Hua Gesang was really quite lucky.

What good is a father who is a Three-star Battle Saint if you stand beside an Eight-star War Saint at the peak?

But he was a bit puzzled.

The Holy Daughter of the Luotian Sect was forbidden to engage in romantic affairs.

Did this man named Xu Nian truly want her to compete for the position?

It was apparent that the leader of the Iron Blood Mercenary Corps already listed Hua Gesang as one of Xu Nian's women.

Xu Nian knew there had been a misunderstanding, but he rarely bothered to explain.

However, Hua Gesang's desire to compete for the Holy Daughter definitely required careful consideration.

Since the Lord of Beimo County had already sent someone to kill her, there was no way he would take no action during the competition.

As the leader of the Iron Blood Mercenary Corps mentioned, open assault is easy to evade, but hidden attacks are hard to defend against.

It was likely very dangerous for Hua Gesang and her father to participate in the election.

Soon after, Xu Nian took Hua Gesang and left the Tianhua Restaurant.

As they left, the leader of the Iron Blood Mercenary Corps personally saw them down to the ground floor.

Only after watching them walk away did he let out a sigh of relief.

After returning to the restaurant, the leader of the Iron Blood Mercenary Corps quickly fled Rom City with his men overnight.

He was genuinely afraid that Xu Nian would suddenly come back for them.

On the other hand, Hua Gesang also began to suspect Xu Nian.

All the way, she was observing him.

The more she looked, the more she felt the young man before her was not simple.

"Tell me, what exactly did you talk about with the Iron Blood Mercenary Corps leader, and why did his attitude change so drastically?" Hua Gesang stared at Xu Nian, asking.

Xu Nian immediately gave a wry smile, knowing that he had aroused Hua Gesang's suspicion.

"What else could I have said? I just mentioned our encounter with a Saint in the desert who lent us a hand, and that made him scared," Xu Nian quickly explained.

"Really?" Hua Gesang asked, puzzled.

Xu Nian promptly nodded.
