Chapter 1786: Chapter 1786: First Give You One
Nangong Xu absorbed his reaction, smiling faintly, "That’s not your child. Don’t pay too high a price for a child unrelated to you. Give me ten rings, and I’ll let you take Jian Yufei away."
Using ten rings to get only Jian Yufei back—it just doesn’t make sense.
He couldn’t just ignore the child.
Before rescuing Jian Yufei and the child, he couldn’t hand over the rings.
Ruan Tianling had a hunch that once Nangong Xu got the rings, he would immediately initiate the next round of actions.
So, the rings must not fall into his hands.
"Nangong Xu, ten rings for Jian Yufei and the child. If you don’t agree, then we have nothing to talk about." Ruan Tianling’s attitude was very firm.
"I told you, that’s not your child."
"Do you dare let me see his face?!"
"Ruan Tianling, don’t you love Jian Yufei very much, willing to give up everything for her? Now that you have the chance to take her away, why won’t you?"
"I love my child just as much."
"You can’t have both fish and bear’s paw."
"Are you admitting that he is my child?"
"I didn’t say that." Nangong Xu stubbornly refused to admit or relent, "You don’t have to take Jian Yufei, but Jian Yufei made a deal with me. She needs to give me two rings, and then I’ll agree to her request. Now you owe me two, otherwise, I won’t agree to her."
"What request?"
"That’s between her and me."
Ruan Tianling didn’t care about the ring at all, as long as there was one still in his hand, it was enough.
"I can give you that, but I want to see Jian Yufei."
Nangong Xu seized the opportunity to blackmail, "Then you have to give me two more."
Ruan Tianling coldly laughed, "I want to see Jian Yufei to ensure she’s well. If I just give you the rings, who knows what you’d do to her. In the future, whenever you want rings, I must see her, otherwise, I won’t give them to you. As for her deal with you, consider it void."
Ruan Tianling got up to leave, and Nangong Xu asked coldly, "Aren’t you afraid of what I’d do to them?"
Ruan Tianling looked at him with eerie eyes, articulating each word, "We are not afraid of death. If you want to fight with me, let’s see who fears death more!"
Nangong Xu squinted, his eyes exuding a chilling light.
This was the first time he was threatened by a young man, and his authority faced a significant challenge.
"Ruan Tianling, provoking me won’t do you any good," he said coldly and dangerously.
Ruan Tianling sneered arrogantly, "That’s exactly what I wanted to say to you! Listen well, I fear neither heaven nor earth, I wouldn’t even fear if my entire family died! But how about you, are you willing to die just like this?"
Nangong Xu’s jaw tightened abruptly, and his eyes flashed with a ferocious, angry gleam.
"You’re the first person to dare speak to me like that!"
"I have thousands of brothers under me who all dare say that to you. Do you want them to take turns telling you?"
"Ruan Tianling, you’re truly like a fearless young calf." Nangong Xu laughed despite his anger, but the aura he emitted was icy.
"No, I’m just pushing the limits. What’s the next part of the saying?"
The waves behind push the waves ahead onto the beach—
Nangong Xu chuckled lowly, "Fine, I agree to take you to see Jian Yufei. Did you bring the rings?"
Ruan Tianling suddenly threw something to him, and he reached out to catch it.
"I’ll give you one first, and once I see her and confirm her safety, I’ll give you the second one."
"Are you bargaining with me?"
