Murong Ling, who had returned to Maple Feather Pavilion, was still immersed in the kiss. She didn't even realize that a group of people had walked in front of her.
"Ling 'er, Ling' er, Ling 'er." Shangguan Ruoyu had been shouting for a long time, but Murong Ling still didn't come back to her senses. Seeing her now, she couldn't help but laugh.
Seeing that she was still in a daze, Nangong Luobing, who had long lost her patience, picked up a thin needle and inserted it into Murong Ling's pain point. Murong Ling cried out in pain.
"Who is it? Eh, why are you guys here? Murong Ling came back to her senses and looked at the people beside her.
"Miss Murong, we were already here.”Nangong Wan 'er smiled.
"Ling 'er, what's wrong? Have you made things clear with the Seventh Prince?”Shangguan Ruoyu did not tease Murong Ling. She was more concerned about her relationship with Li Yuxuan.
When Murong Ling heard Li Yuxuan's name, she recalled the situation just now. Her face began to turn red, causing the others to see her suspicions.
"Ling 'er, did something happen between you and Li Yuxuan?”Nangong Luo Bing teased.
"Uh…nothing. What can happen between us?”Murong Ling's hurried tone betrayed her.
"If nothing happened, then why did you look so distracted the moment you came back? You're obviously reminiscing about something.”Nangong Luo Bing laughed. Her words made the other two laugh as well.
"I really didn't. Aiya, don't make fun of me.”Murong Ling still found it difficult to explain her and Li Yuxuan's actions. Although she was usually carefree, it still made her shy to say such things in front of others.
"Alright, if you don't want to say it, then don't. From your appearance, we know that it's a good thing anyway.”Nangong Luobing smiled. She sincerely hoped that she could find her own happiness.
The few of them were in a pretty good mood. When Shang Feng and the others came over, they saw a few beautiful women smiling. That scene made them lose their minds.
"Hey, what are you guys laughing about?”Shang Feng walked in and sat down. Shang Yu and Yue Qingyuan could not help but reveal curious expressions. Recently, everyone was not in a good mood. It was rare to see them smile.
"It's nothing. I'll go back to my room first. I'm sweating all over after going out for a day.”Murong Ling didn't want them to tease her anymore, so she found an excuse to leave. However, she really wanted to wash up.
Seeing Murong Ling's fleeing figure, the few people who knew the truth couldn't help but laugh out loud, making the others even more baffled.
"How is the outside world recently?" Shangguan Ruoyu looked at Yue Qingyuan. Recently, they had been making arrangements outside, and Anu rarely met them. As the Martial Arts Circle Convention approached, several forces were restless, making people feel uneasy.
" The Martial Arts Circle Convention will be in a month. Currently, Ouyang Xiong still doesn't dare to openly make a move in Maple Feather Pavilion's territory, but it'll be hard to say when the Martial Arts Circle Convention arrives. We can only make preparations just in case. If he doesn't make any further moves, it'll be difficult for us to counterattack.”Shang Feng had always been in charge of the martial arts world, so he was quite confident about this.
"Oh right, what was the background of the four men in black who attacked us?”Nangong Luobing recalled how Chu Ji's sword was placed on her neck last time and couldn't help but get angry.
"I'm ashamed to say this, but the four of them seemed to have appeared out of thin air. We haven't found out their origins yet, but my intuition tells me that the poison my mother was poisoned with should be related to them.”Shang Feng frowned. Since when did Ouyang Xiong have such a powerful group of people?
"Could it be that the Jiyue Brothel that appeared recently has something to do with them?”Shangguan Ruoyu told him the news that Anu had given her.
"It should be. Oh right, Yu, what about you?”Shang Feng changed the topic to Shang Yu.
"That power is getting bigger and bigger. I found some clues, and it seems to be related to…the Full Fragrance Brothel.”Shang Yu glanced at Shangguan Ruoyu. Everyone knew the relationship between Li Xi and Shangguan Ruoyu. If Li Xi was really an enemy, it would be difficult.
"You don't have to look at me.”Shangguan Ruoyu didn't hesitate. She and Li Xi were just bosom friends in the zither. If Li Xi wanted to stop her from taking revenge, she could only be an enemy.
Shang Yu nodded." I understand. However, it seems that the owner of the Prosperous Fragrance Restaurant is someone else. If I'm not wrong, he will appear soon."”
"That's good. I'm afraid that it's Zhang Zhongshou's people. If they control the business world, officialdom, and martial arts world, I'm afraid the entire martial arts world will be filled with blood.”When Yue Qingyuan spoke of his worries, everyone revealed anxious expressions. This was also what they were worried about. Fortunately, they had the Seventh Prince and Zhang Xingyan in the officialdom, and Maple Feather Pavilion in the business world. There was no need to mention the martial arts world, where there were many experts. Moreover, there was also the Valley Master of Pure Ice Valley. Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but look at Nangong Luobing to see if she had any thoughts, but…
Nangong Wan 'er's face was filled with shame and anger as she nudged the sleeping Nangong Luo Bing. It was really embarrassing. While everyone was seriously discussing serious matters, her young miss actually fell asleep.
"Miss." Nangong Wan 'er didn't dare to call out to her loudly and only called out softly.
" Uh…" Nangong Luo Bing's eyes were sleepy, and she looked tired. She didn't feel awkward looking at everyone. "I'm not too interested in what you're saying. I'm only concerned about the fake Seven Souls Poison. I haven't slept well recently, so I'll go back to my room first.”Nangong Luo Bing stood up and walked away with Nangong Wan 'er.
Everyone couldn't help but smile bitterly. That's right, how could they forget Nangong Luobing's personality? She was only interested in the poison doctor, so why would she care about them? He was already kind enough to give them some self-defense medicine.
Only then did everyone regain their senses and discuss for a while before leaving. They also had their own responsibilities, didn't they?
"Miss, do you want to eat something before sleeping?”Nangong Wan 'er was worried that Nangong Luo Bing would be hungry, so it was inappropriate for her to sleep like this.
"No need, Wan 'er, you can go down first.”Nangong Luo Bing waved her hand. Nangong Wan 'er closed the door and left.
Nangong Luobing took off her outer robe and lay on the bed. Soon, her calm breathing could be heard.
A black figure could be vaguely seen in the sparse shadows opposite the room. His eyes were staring at the room. Although it was dark, he seemed to be able to see the person on the bed. There was light in his eyes. Not long after, the black shadow suddenly jumped up and landed outside the window. After hesitating for a while, it pushed open the window and flew into the house.
The person on the bed did not seem to notice the uninvited guest in the room. Her face was calm. The black shadow slowly walked to the side of the bed. His big hand pushed away the scattered curtains. The person on the bed entered his sight. The black shadow could not help but tremble. There was excitement in his eyes, and he was puzzled and helpless...
Suddenly, the person on the bed opened her eyes. Their eyes met, and it was as if time had stopped.
"Tower Master Chu barging into a woman's room in the middle of the night seems a little inappropriate.”Nangong Luobing's tone was full of mockery. Although his face was covered, Nangong Luobing could tell from his eyes that this person was Chu Ji.
Chu Ji didn't expect to be recognized and didn't come back to his senses. He didn't notice Nangong Luo Bing's address and indirectly admitted that he was the owner of Jiyue Brothel.
"What? How long does Pavilion Master Chu want to see?”Nangong Luo Bing wasn't shy, her eyes were pure.
Chu Ji came back to his senses and put down the tent in his hand. He turned around and didn't leave. He knew that Nangong Luobing must have noticed him long ago, but she was waiting for him quietly. Now that she was " awake ", she couldn't leave easily.
Sure enough, Nangong Luobing put on her coat and walked to the table with a smile in her eyes. She lit a candle and poured two cups of cold tea.
"Presumably, Tower Lord Chu doesn't want to ask someone to serve hot tea. If you don't mind, then come over and have a taste of this cold tea.”
Chu Ji turned around and sat down, but she didn't take the tea. Nangong Luo Bing didn't mind. She picked up her own cup and sipped, her face full of happiness.
"How did Valley Master Nangong recognize me?”Chu Ji waited for a while. Seeing that Nangong Luobing didn't speak, she finally couldn't help but ask.
"Tower Master Chu was the first person to place a sword on my neck, so naturally, I've been thinking about it every day, so how could I not recognize him? Moreover, Tower Master Chu loitered outside my room every night.”Nangong Luo Bing had a smile on her face, revealing that Chu Ji's actions were already under her control. Moreover, the poison she had placed on him that day also contained a unique tracking substance that she had made herself. This substance was colorless and odorless, and only she knew about it. Of course, she would not tell Chu Ji about this.
When Chu Ji heard her words, her eyes lit up and an awkward expression flashed across her face. However, she covered her face and did not let anyone notice.
"Cough…then why do you call me Tower Lord?”
"Why should I tell you? You just have to admit it, right?”Nangong Luo Bing chuckled. With just a few words, it was obvious who won and who lost. The initiative was in Nangong Luo Bing's hands, and Chu Ji could only lose.
