The woman in white paused, "You said you have a family?"
Ming Zhi Tian nodded, "Yes."
The woman in white pondered, "Alright, if you swear not to reveal this, I will spare you."
Ming Zhi Tian was slightly taken aback, "Swear? Hey, sister, I saved you! And you're threatening me?"
The woman in white held her arrow like a sword, its tip pressing a little deeper. "Will you swear or not?"
Ming Zhi Tian dared not even swallow. "I'll swear, I'll swear."
Looking at her fair hand, Ming Zhi Tian said, "First, take your Cloud-Piercing Arrow away."
"No," the woman in white said. "Don't play tricks. Swear the celestial oath immediately."
Despite her words, she moved the arrow back slightly, but it still remained at his throat, not letting up.
Ming Zhi Tian looked at her face, "First, tell me your name. Then I'll swear."
The woman in white's brow twitched. "What does that have to do with the oath? Are you swearing or not?"
Ming Zhi Tian said, "If you don't tell me, I won't swear."
"Yan Ran Qing Cheng."
Ming Zhi Tian didn't hear clearly. "What?"
The woman in white said, "My name is Yan Ran Qing Cheng."
"Good," Ming Zhi Tian nodded. "I, Ming Zhi Tian, swear to the heavens that if I today... see Yan Ran Qing Cheng naked..."
Yan Ran Qing Cheng quickly pressed her arrow to his throat. "Get straight to the point! Start again."
Ming Zhi Tian gently pushed her arrow away with his finger. "I, Ming Zhi Tian, swear to the heavens, if I speak of today's events, may nine heavens divine lightning annihilate me and scatter me into the ten directions of hell."
"Very good. Remember your words," Yan Ran Qing Cheng retracted her arrow.
Her wound ached again, and she clutched it, stumbling.
Ming Zhi Tian quickly moved away from the wound and caught her. "Are you alright?"
"Get away!" Yan Ran Qing Cheng pushed him away, staggering and falling to the ground. A faint red seeped from her bandage.
"I don't need your concern."
Ming Zhi Tian shrugged. "Good deeds go unrewarded. Are all the people outside here to catch you?"
Yan Ran Qing Cheng couldn't help but get up and peek through the broken wall. "Only a dozen or so experts in the God-Sealing Realm are after me. Those over a hundred Law Guards in the Heaven-Sealing Realm... they don't seem to be."
"Another hundred?" Ming Zhi Tian couldn't help but join her, peeking through the broken wall.
"Again?" Yan Ran Qing Cheng was puzzled.
Ming Zhi Tian nodded. "Then it makes sense. Half are after you, half are after me."
Yan Ran Qing Cheng became curious. "After you? What did you do?"
Ming Zhi Tian said casually, "Nothing big. Just killed about a hundred Law Guards."
Yan Ran Qing Cheng's pupils dilated. "You dare kill Law Guards? Who exactly are you?"
Ming Zhi Tian shrugged. "Anyway, I'm not from around here."
The woman in white's brow furrowed slightly. "An outsider, a Celestial Senior?"
Ming Zhi Tian smiled faintly. "Who cares about Celestial Seniors or Green Mouths, I'm human."
Yan Ran Qing Cheng said, "No, they call outsiders Celestial Seniors here. Why did you kill so many Law Guards?"
Ming Zhi Tian said offhandedly, "I didn't like the look of them, so I killed them. What of it?"
Yan Ran Qing Cheng was stunned. "You killed them just because you didn't like them? That's all?"
Ming Zhi Tian nodded. "Of course. What did you think?"
Then he frowned. "Wait, something's not right. Why are you always asking me questions? Tell me about yourself. Why are you being chased by over a dozen God-Sealing Realm experts?"
Yan Ran Qing Cheng said coldly, "Don't pry into my affairs."
Ming Zhi Tian leaned back slightly. "Oh, if you don't want to say, then don't. So stingy."
Yan Ran Qing Cheng was silent for a moment, then spoke. "I intended to assassinate Liu Li Qian Suo at the Mirage. Unfortunately, I failed. After narrowly escaping death several times, I finally got away from him. He then sent twelve God-Sealing Realm experts to hunt me."
Ming Zhi Tian was surprised. "Mirage? It really exists? Who is Liu Li Qian Suo? Why did you want to kill him?"
Thinking of this, Yan Ran Qing Cheng grieved silently. "An irreconcilable hatred, the hatred of a destroyed clan, the old vengeance of home and country. With these three great hatreds, do you think Liu Li Qian Suo deserves to die?"
Ming Zhi Tian raised his eyebrows. "He deserves to die. So, who exactly are you?"
Seeing her unquestionable expression, Ming Zhi Tian said, "I understand. It doesn't matter if you don't say."
