Seeing Huo Yinyang act so impulsively, I wished I could slap him. The more we showed concern for Qin Qing’s safety, the more passive our position became. I glanced toward Andelin, who was staring at Huo Yinyang with eyes full of fire; he seemed to be on the verge of a violent outburst. However, Andelin didn't snap. He merely gave Huo Yinyang a look, ignored him, and fixed his greedy gaze on the Internal Alchemical Core of the Great Python resting on the altar. That old dog, Andelin, was here for the Core as well.
The Skeleton’s words from earlier had made me notice the Great Python’s reaction, and I suspected it was also playing a game of bait. Getting that Internal Alchemical Core would not be so simple. I stopped looking at Andelin and shifted my attention to Qin Qing. At the exact moment I looked at her, she was already looking back at me, shaking her head slightly and giving me a signal. Her reaction was far too abnormal; she didn’t look like a hostage at all. The key was that Andelin’s men hadn't even tied her up. This made me realize that Qin Qing definitely had her own plan. Even if she appeared to have fallen into the hands of Andelin’s crew, she must have a way to get out.
"Damn it, Andelin! Do you believe I’ll fight you to the death?" Huo Yinyang, that brat—full of dog-like, unparalleled loyalty—hadn't realized the problem and continued to curse at Andelin.
