Bab 286: Chapter 287- Liu wei

"Huh?", Yao Lian looked towards Esme. She noticed how her narrowed eyes and that smirk appeared as if she was trying to push a scam deal on her, trying to lure her into something shady, prompting her to turn towards Ryuk as she noticed him offering her a book just based on a promise.

Seeing both of them, Yao Lian thought that something was definitely wrong, causing her to take a step back as she observed both of them, feeling that it could be possible that it was a trap to lure her in. This caused her to look towards Ryuk with a trembling gaze as she lowered her head and added, "Young Master Rui ke, I would like to make some other deal instead of a promise."

She found the promise aspect completely suspicious, given that there wouldn't be any guarantee to reassure them of her loyalty, making her doubt that it was some scheme to lure her.
