Chapter 409: Chapter 409

The two men brought Jiang Xue to a mountain recess and stopped there, where there were several tents. It seemed quite a few people were living there.

"You’re back!" Hearing footsteps, someone walked out of the tent. Upon seeing Jiang Xue, a smile appeared on their face as they said, "Mission accomplished!"

"Yes!" The two men holding Jiang Xue laughed and replied, "It took us a lot of effort, but fortunately, we succeeded in the end." Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵※𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾※𝙣𝙚𝙩

"Alright, bring her in. Tomorrow I’ll send someone to notify Mu Qiancheng."

"Yes, Brother Fei!" The two responded and then led Jiang Xue into the largest tent. Inside, a middle-aged man sat, watching them.

"Woman, be careful, this man is quite formidable." Suddenly, the voice of Little Fox sounded in Jiang Xue’s mind.

Upon hearing Little Fox’s words, Jiang Xue raised her head and looked at the man. With just one look, she couldn’t help but shudder inside; the man’s gaze was chilling, colder than the ice and snow of winter.

No wonder Little Fox said he was formidable—just his gaze was frightening enough. How could he not be formidable?

As Jiang Xue looked at the man, the man was also looking at her. When he realized Jiang Xue was a woman, he was stunned for a moment before regaining his composure and asking, "Who is she?"

"Mu Qiancheng’s wife!" one of them replied while pushing Jiang Xue forward, forcefully pressing her shoulder and said, "Kneel down!"

Jiang Xue’s expression darkened, glaring coldly at the person pressing her, suppressing the urge to hit him. However, she did not kneel.

It’s said that under a man’s knee lies gold, and it’s the same for women. She’s not someone who kneels casually. It’s said to kneel to the heavens, the earth, and to one’s parents, but as for others, they don’t deserve such respect.

"What are you glaring at? I warn you, don’t refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit." The man warned Jiang Xue coldly.

"What if I just refuse to kneel?" Jiang Xue’s expression darkened. If Little Fox hadn’t mentioned that the middle-aged man sitting before her was formidable, she would have hit him by now.

However, just because she wasn’t hitting him didn’t mean she would compromise enough to kneel.

"It’s not up to you!" As the man spoke, he aimed a kick at Jiang Xue’s legs. Previously, when they made people kneel, they always used this method—it was quick and convenient.

However, contrary to expectations, Jiang Xue didn’t kneel after the kick. Instead, she jumped up and stomped on the man’s foot.

Seeing Jiang Xue’s action, the man was startled and quickly let go of her, retreating backward.

Another man, witnessing the scene, stepped forward to help, but at this moment, the middle-aged man who was sitting spoke, "Stop!"

"Brother Long, she’s being disobedient. Let us teach her a lesson." One of the men protested, as he’d never seen someone like Jiang Xue who came into their territory and remained so unyielding.

"You two may leave now!" The middle-aged man gestured with his hand for the two to leave.

"But..." one of them wanted to say something, but Brother Long’s glance stopped him. Thus, the two reluctantly left the tent, leaving Jiang Xue behind.

Jiang Xue looked at the middle-aged man, a peculiar light flashing in her eyes, remaining silent.

She already guessed their purpose for capturing her—it was simply for Mu Qiancheng. She just wanted to understand who these people were and why they were targeting Mu Qiancheng.

Moreover, if she wasn’t mistaken, Mu Qiancheng and his team were supposed to be on a confidential secret mission here. How did these people know?
