The man's head snapped up, and he stared at Du Youqian.
"What are the conditions?"
"When I return in the future to kill that bitch and Bian Youque, you will step forward and tell everyone what happened today. You will tell them how they bribed you to assassinate me."
"I wasn't bribed..." the man instinctively argued.
"When I return, I hope you still have the courage to say that," Du Youqian said calmly.
The man froze, half amused and half sighing. "You still think you can come back? If you're so smart, why don't you try to guess what you'll encounter on the front lines? In any case, I don't really believe you'll make it back..."
With that, he turned and left, his retreating figure looking utterly desolate.
Du Youqian withdrew his gaze and let out a sigh of relief.
He could have killed the man, of course. But with his currently damaged Dantian and a Realm so weak it could barely maintain the Qi Cultivation First Layer, killing him would have come at a steep price.
