In fact, Jiang Ke had no desire to develop a relationship with Qi Jiu.
He was born into nobility and associated with remarkable knights; he looked down on merchants the most.
Especially the way that merchant looked at Sang Yan, which he really disliked.
"Not possible."
He coldly rejected and walked away with Sang Yan in his arms.
Sang Yan looked back at Qi Jiu, still hoping for rescue—freedom sought amidst peril. Merchants valued profit, and once she was free, she would surely give him a lot of money.
"Why are you looking at him?"
Jiang Ke was dissatisfied with her looking back, and as he gradually realized she was seeking help, his expression changed, and he pinched her chin: "Sang Yan, behave, don't make me unhappy."
Sang Yan immediately submitted and obediently nodded.
Seeing this, Jiang Ke gave a gentle smile but said, "As punishment, once we get back, I'll kill him and bring his head for you to see, is that okay?"
