Lan Ke looked at [Ruthless Swordsman] warily, wanting to hear what he would say, but [Ruthless Swordsman] did not speak in a hurry, but instead took out a bead and crushed it on the spot.
Lan Ke frowned subconsciously and instinctively wanted to avoid it, but saw a hemispherical transparent barrier suddenly appeared around her, just covering her and the [Ruthless Swordsman].
The barrier was formed instantly, but the area was not large. It completely covered her and the [Ruthless Swordsman] without leaving any extra space, leaving no room for Lan Ke to retreat.
No matter how vigilant Lan Ke was, he could only look at the [Ruthless Swordsman] coldly, unable to distance himself from him.
"What do you mean?" Lan Ke's voice was cold, but he couldn't figure out why the [Ruthless Swordsman] suddenly attacked.
"Don't get me wrong, it's just a barrier that blocks sound and sight. I have no ill intentions towards you." [Ruthless Swordsman] said slowly and politely, making people feel like spring breeze. "What I want to say next is extremely important to me. , I can’t let others hear me, so I can only do this.”
Lan Ke still looked at him expressionlessly, without any wavering in his heart: "In that case, why do you need to ask me for help? I'm just a junior businessman, I'm afraid I can't help you."
It's not that she's ungrateful, it's just that she doesn't want to wade into troubled waters. [Ruthless Swordsman] acts so carefully, what he wants cannot be a trivial matter. Lan Ke himself is still trapped in the troubled apocalypse, so how can he be willing to cause trouble for himself again
[The Ruthless Swordsman] said: "There is no need to refuse in a hurry. You can wait until I finish saying it before refusing. This matter is extremely important to me, but it is just a piece of cake for you. As long as you are willing to do this favor for me, not only will the previous debt be paid Write it all off in one go and I can still keep you safe."
Lan Ke was silent, unable to guess what the [Ruthless Swordsman] asked her to help. Not understanding, she simply said: "Your Excellency, continue."
[Ruthless Swordsman] smiled. Although he couldn't see Lan Ke's face, he knew that she was already attracted. So he took out a scroll and unfolded it: "This is a contract scroll. As long as you and I put our palms on it and make an oath not to harm each other, the contract will take effect."
Lan Ke was puzzled: "Isn't that why you asked me to come here? What is this? A soul contract?" Lan Ke didn't think that the [Ruthless Swordsman] only asked her to make a contract, and there must be drama to come!
Sure enough, [Ruthless Swordsman] shook his head: "Because the matter is so important, I think it is safest to make a contract. With this contract, I can't hurt you, and you can rest assured, right?"
Lan Ke sneered, feeling that the [Ruthless Swordsman] simply got an advantage and still behaved! What does "you can rest assured" mean? They were clearly on guard against each other, it seemed like she was the only one who cared.
However, she had to admit that with such a contract, she would indeed feel more at ease, otherwise she would really feel unsure.
Lan Ke secretly contacted Babao: "Babao, do you know about this kind of contract?"
Babao quickly replied: "This contract scroll was bought from the system mall. It is very expensive. If he dares to spend such money, it must be something serious. Host, you must be careful!"
"I will be careful, but I want to know, is this scroll really safe? How binding is it?" Lan Ke frowned. She was not afraid that she would be bound by the oath, but she was worried that the oath could not restrain the [Ruthless Swordsman]. This man gave her a too mysterious feeling. If the contract was of no use to him, then she would be the only one bound, and she would be very passive by then!
But Babao said proudly: "This is the most advanced soul contract. Unless he is strong enough to break the law, he will not be able to hurt you for eternity!"
Lan Ke is not as optimistic as him, not because he is afraid of the [Ruthless Swordsman]'s ability, but because once a trap is set in the oath, no matter how powerful the contract is, it will be useless.
But with Babao, she decided to make this vow with the [Ruthless Swordsman] not to harm each other. As long as the oath is strictly controlled, such an oath will be beneficial to her and harmless.
So Lan Ke nodded: "You can make an oath. What is the oath?"
[Ruthless Swordsman] quickly sent the content of the private message to Lan Ke. To Lan Ke's surprise, there were two copies of the oath, one for her and one for [Ruthless Swordsman].
The contents of the two oaths are roughly the same, but there are some differences. The [Ruthless Swordsman]'s oath not only mentioned that he would not harm her, but also mentioned that he would try his best to help her and protect her safety. However, there was no such content in Lan Ke's oath. All he had to do was not harm the [Ruthless Swordsman]. Can.
Lan Ke was silent. Such an oath cannot be said to be foolproof, but it can show the sincerity of the [Ruthless Swordsman]. [Ruthless Swordsman] can be considered upright. As long as she doesn't take the initiative to plot, this person will not break his oath.
After pondering, Lan Ke nodded solemnly: "Okay, I will make an oath to you."
As soon as he said this, [Ruthless Swordsman] smiled with satisfaction. He became a plane merchant much earlier than Lan Ke, has more experience, and even has many connections.
Frankly speaking, he didn't have to ask Lan Ke for help this time. He could have asked someone else. But looking at the unfinished caviar in his hand, he finally chose Lan Ke.
He had a hunch that this person would give him many surprises.
Sure enough, Lan Ke not only kept the appointment, but also thought much less than the others. This time he took the initiative to ask for it, and she could have asked for a huge price, but she didn't. She didn't even propose to amend the oath he took out.
After several previous contacts, he was very sure that Lan Ke was not stupid and sweet. There was only one reason why she did this - she was not greedy.
[Ruthless Swordsman] lowered his eyes and looked at Lan Ke's small chin. The more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became, and even looked forward to the next interaction.
Lan Ke regretted it a little, the look from the [Ruthless Swordsman] made her feel scared! Lan Ke even wondered if she had missed any important points or missed any traps. However, after carefully reading the content of the oath, there were no obvious traps in it. It could even be said that she had taken advantage.
Seeing the [Ruthless Swordsman] stretched out his palm to cover the open scroll, Lan Ke hesitated for a moment and then put his palm up as promised. As the last word of the oath fell, the scroll suddenly turned into two light spots, which shot into the eyebrows of Lan Ke and [Ruthless Swordsman] respectively.
At the same time, because of the oath reading, they finally knew each other's names.
"So your name is Lan Ke, what a good name." [Ruthless Swordsman] chuckled, his deep voice tickling people's hearts.
"Your name is not bad either." Lan Ke smiled and then said, "But the oath has been made. Isn't it time for you to clear up my doubts?"
