Chapter 1040: It’s Instant Gratification

Ms. Lu actually thought that Yun Jian welcomed her attending the wedding with her family when she flashed a smile. After all, attendance at a wedding counted as something auspicious. Ms. Lu also thought that this was a hint that Yun Jian had indirectly accepted her pandering and planned to be on friendly terms with her.
With that in mind, the teacher brightened up even more and engaged Yun Jian in extended pleasantries before bidding goodbye with the latter.
When Ms. Lu left, Yun Jian noted that she still did not ask her for the venue of Qin Yirou and Ge Junjian’s wedding. How could she attend the wedding if she did not know where it was?
Intelligent as Yun Jian was, she knew that Ms. Lu must have already gotten the information out of Yun Zhu when he applied for a leave from her to have said what she did just now. Yun Jian’s impression of the teacher dulled even more seeing that the latter had no problem setting her own student up.
“Sister Jian, what’s up with her? Why didn’t you kill her?” Phantom Flame went up to as Yun Jian right after Ms. Lu left.
She seemed nonchalant when she uttered the word “kill”, like the word held no significance to her.
A young man who was dressed sophisticatedly walked past and coincidentally heard what Phantom Flame asked Yun Jian. For a woman like her who was pretty, tall and slender—basically a charming woman by current standards—to say “Why didn’t you kill her?” so casually, the sophisticatedly-dressed man made a double take at both Yun Jian and Phantom Flame before scurrying away thinking if they were out of their minds.
Phantom Flame was a vicious and feisty woman. It was only expected of her as the leader of Gu Sha Mercenaries’ assassination department.
Gu Sha had three main departments—intelligence, assassination and investigation.
Although Phantom Flame was a woman, she managed all the members of the assassination department. To be honest, Phantom Flame’s assassination department was the hardest to run among the three groups. This was because the department was made up of all Gu Sha’s secret agents and assassins.
Phantom Flame’s character was a given due to her status, and she was also the strongest in skills among the trio today.
“Because I’ve found something better than killing people.” Yun Jian stood slightly turned to her side, facing Phantom Flame with her profile. Her smirk made the hearts of the three of them skip a beat.
“Huh? What could be more fun than killing people? Sister Jian, do tell! I want to try it too!” Diane asked quickly, interested when she heard what Yun Jian said.
Yun Jian reeled in her gaze to look at Diane and took a pause before smiling. “Guess.”
She led the way forward with that while Diane and Phantom Flame looked lost rooted to the spot.
To both women who had been at the top of the world, their gratification could only come from killing people who upset them.
Yun Jian thought the same in the past.
Whether it was Yun Jian in the past or Diane and Phantom Flame right now, they thought that the best way to handle people they loathed was to kill them directly. After her rebirth, however, Yun Jian found that the real fun was not killing people for that instant gratification but…
“You two don’t know anything huh! Killing someone who annoyed you gives you only instant gratification. If that person dies, how could they feel the annoyance back? Hahaha!”
Spectral Refiner who had been quiet since just now spoke up and chuckled gracefully before he caught up with Yun Jian’s pace like a poised gentleman.
