The next day, snowflakes fell.
Outside the bridge cave, the river was in a mess after a night of storm.
The ground was covered in mud and leaves were scattered everywhere.
When Luo Qingzhou woke up, he felt a faint pain in his chest.
Could it be that Miss Xia Chan laid her head on his chest the entire night?
The fire had already been extinguished.
Ashes littered the ground, and there were even some weak sparks inside.
Luo Qingzhou sat up and turned around. The cold girl was already holding her sword and standing at the entrance of the bridge cave, staring blankly at the river outside.
Luo Qingzhou stood up and stretched his muscles. After extinguishing the remaining sparks, he walked to the entrance of the cave and said, “Let’s go home.”
The girl left the cave and walked in front.
Luo Qingzhou followed behind.
It was not long after dawn.
However, the city gate to the inner city was finally opened.
The two of them entered the inner city one after another.
After passing through a street, the figure walking in front suddenly stopped.
Luo Qingzhou walked forward and asked, “What’s wrong?”
The girl said nothing.
Luo Qingzhou walked in front and endured for a while before saying, “If you don’t know the way, you can say it. There are many things that you can directly say. I don’t mean anything by this, but I just feel that… you should speak more.
It would be better.”
The girl followed behind him, still not saying anything.
Luo Qingzhou did not say anything else.
When they were almost at the Qin residence, she suddenly said, “Bai Ling is very chatty… Do you like her?”
Luo Qingzhou stopped in his tracks and turned to look at her: “I don’t mean that people who like to talk will be more likable. I’m just saying that it’s not good if you don’t like to talk, I hope you can talk more in the future.”
The girl still looked at him and said, “Do you like… Bai Ling?”
Luo Qingzhou was silent for a moment. He seemed to be answering her but also himself. He muttered, “I don’t know either.’
After saying that, he continued walking forward.
The girl stood at the same spot for a while before clenching her sword and following him.
The two of them entered the Qin residence one after another.
When Butler Zhou saw this, he retreated to the side and continued with his work.
When the maidservants saw this, they also avoided them.
Of course, it was not because of Luo Qingzhou.
In the Qin residence, First Young Miss and her two maids were existences that no one dared to discuss or look at.
If they heard anyone discussing First Young Miss Qin in private, Madam would get someone to beat them up.
There was no wind.
Snowflakes fell from the sky.
The two of them, who had not returned last night, arrived at the entrance of the Ling Chan Moon Palace one after another.
Luo Qingzhou stopped walking and turned to look at her. “You were drenched in the rain last night. It’s best if you take a hot bath when you get back. Then, change into a clean set of clothes and have a good rest. If you’re feeling unwell, remember to ask Miss Bai Ling to get you some medicine to eat.”
With that, he prepared to leave.
Bai Ling’s faint voice suddenly sounded at the door. “You didn’t return for the entire night. You must have gone to the brothel to fool around with that naked courtesan!”
Luo Qingzhou stopped and turned to look at her. “I was with Miss Xia Chan, how do I go to a brothel with her around?”
Bai Ling snorted. “Then you must have sweet-talked Chanchan and seduced her so that she would agree not to return and sleep outside with you!”
Luo Qingzhou asked, “Miss Bai Ling, are you insulting me or Miss Xia Chan?”
Bai Ling snorted again. “Chanchan’s clothes are disheveled, her hair is messy, and she is in a daze. She must have been tortured by some bad guy last night!”
Luo Qingzhou ignored her and left quickly.
Silence returned to the entrance of the Ling Chan Moon Palace.
The two girls were silent for a moment, and their eyes met.
After a long time, Bai Ling sighed lightly, showing a troubled expression.
“Chanchan, why don’t we confess and tell him the truth?”
Xia Chan did not speak. She turned around and entered the house.
Bai Ling followed behind and said, “So what if it’s embarrassing? It’s better than hiding it forever. If this continues, I… I will… Don’t blame me. Sir is really… really good at flirting.”
Xia Chan stopped in her tracks, her back facing her. After a moment of silence, she said in a low voice, “Then… Then you go and be with him.”
With that, she entered the house.
Bai Ling was stunned and then quickly chased after her. “Chanchan, what are you talking about? I don’t want to be with Sir. I want to be a pure and innocent flower forever. I don’t want to be tainted by anyone.”
Luo Qingzhou returned to the house and took a cold shower.
Then, he informed Xiao Die, checked that he had brought his equipment, and left.
When he passed by the Ling Chan Moon Palace, he hesitated for a moment before walking in.
No one was in the front yard.
Just as he was about to go to the backyard, Bai Ling frowned and walked out of the house. When she saw him, she was stunned for a moment and said, “Sir, why are you here? What’s the matter?”
Luo Qingzhou said, “How is Miss Xia Chan? She was drenched in the rain last night and sneezed a lot. I’m afraid she will fall sick.”
Bai Ling lowered her head and bit her lips. Her eyes were red as she said, “Chanchan is sick. She is lying on the bed, not moving. Moreover, she has a high fever and keeps saying that she wants to be hugged. I… I feel that Chanchan won’t be able to make it past tonight… She might die.”
Luo Qingzhou’s expression changed drastically, and he quickly walked in.
Bai Ling followed behind. She sobbed, “Sir, how did you bully Chanchan last night? Chanchan’s body is filled with your scent…”
Luo Qingzhou quickly walked to the door, pushed it open, and walked in.
BANG!
The door behind him suddenly closed.
Bai Ling sobbed outside, “Sir, accompany Chanchan inside first. I will go find a physician. ”
Luo Qingzhou was stunned for a moment before looking into the room.
Beside the bed was a big wooden bucket.
Steam filled the wooden bucket. A young girl sat inside, revealing her snow-white shoulders and cold face.
Her dark eyes were staring at him coldly. Luo Qingzhou stared at her in speechless silence.
“Bai Ling, open the door!”
He quickly turned around and tried to pull the door open, but it would not budge.
Bai Ling said from outside, “Sir, I’m going to find a physician. There’s no one outside. Go and help Chanchan scrub her back and wash her body. It’s fine even if you accompany her and sleep with her for a while.”
Luo Qingzhou paused for a moment and then said, “All right, I’ll accompany her.”
With that, he suddenly exerted strength in his arm, and with a creak, the door was pulled open.
Bai Ling stood outside and said angrily, “Sir, you tricked me!” Luo Qingzhou ignored her and left quickly.
It was obvious who was the one who liked to play tricks on others.
After he left the small courtyard, Bai Ling returned to her room and took out a towel from the bucket. She rubbed the girl’s smooth back and shoulders with the towel and muttered, “I don’t know if Sir is pretending to be a gentleman or if he is one. Chanchan’s body is clearly so alluring, why isn’t he craving it? If Sir finds out about it, he will definitely regret it…” She muttered to herself behind Xia Chan.
The girl in the bucket was still silent.
After a long time.
The girl in the bucket muttered softly, “He… He touched before…’
Luo Qingzhou left the residence from the backyard.
He put on the mask in the alley and transformed into an ordinary-looking
young man.
He put on the martial artist black outfit he had bought and strapped a martial artist dagger at his waist.
He walked majestically with an extraordinary aura.
Today, he was a martial artist. He was no longer a weak scholar.
Soon, he arrived at the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.
He took out the receipt and waist tag that the shop had given to him the last time he was there. After letting the shopkeeper have a look, he followed the shop assistant to the top floor of the attic.
There were already three martial artists waiting in the room.
There were two men and one woman.
A middle-aged man was short and muscular. The muscles on his arms bulged, and his skin was dark. Even though it was winter, he was still wearing a black leather shirt that exposed his arms.
There was even a tiger tattoo on his thick arm.
The other young man was tall and handsome. He had a kind smile on his face.
There was also a woman in her 20s. She was also dressed in black martial arts attire. Her facial features were sharp and her expression was cold. She had short silver hair and blue pupils.
Under the shop assistant’s enthusiastic introduction, Luo Qingzhou got to know the three of them.
The middle-aged man with the first tattoo was called Wu Kui. He was a martial warrior—a beginner martial artist—at the Bone Refinement Realm.
The second young man was called Han Bei. He was also a martial warrior and was at the Tendon Refinement Realm.
The silver-haired woman’s name was unknown. Everyone addressed her as Sister Dao, and she was a martial warrior at the Bone Refinement Realm. She was the captain of this mission and was also an experienced veteran recruited by the Treasure Gathering Pavilion. She was in charge of bringing newcomers to the periphery of the Black Forest to do the simplest mission. Luo Qingzhou’s alias was Chu Feiyang. He was currently in the Tendon Refinement Realm.
“There are five people in the team this time. There’s still one person who isn’t here yet. We have to wait a little longer.”
After the shop assistant finished introducing them, he poured a cup of hot tea for Luo Qingzhou and smiled at him, telling him to be a little more patient.
Another 10 minutes passed.
The shop assistant standing at the staircase finally shouted, “She’s here!” Footsteps came from downstairs.
Not long after, a tall and sexy girl in a tight black leather jacket and pants walked up. She had long black hair that reached her waist.
Not only was this girl tall and slender, but her figure was also curvaceous. Her figure could be said to be top-notch.
Her face was also beautiful, but her expression was cold and her aura was arrogant. She only glanced at them indifferently before walking to the corner with her sexy long legs and sitting there alone.
The shop assistant smiled and said, “Miss Qin can be considered an experienced hunter. She’s already left the city several times and worked with Sister Dao twice. With the two of them leading you today, you have a high chance of catching prey on the first day.”
The young man called Han Bei smiled and said, “Wait, you haven’t introduced
Miss Qin’s name and cultivation level yet.”
The shop assistant hurriedly said, “Miss Qin is called Qin Yuemo. Her current cultivation level is at the Bone Refinement Realm.’
Luo Qingzhou sneaked a peek at her.
“Qin Yuemo? That’s a good name.”
Han Bei smiled and walked over. He cupped his hands and said, “Miss Qin, I’ll have to trouble you for this mission.”
The sexy girl lowered her head and seriously admired her slender and fair fingers. It was as if she did not hear him. She did not respond. She did not even bother to look at him.
The shop assistant hurriedly broke the awkwardness and said, “All right, it’s getting late. Everyone, go and come back early. Remember to enter the city before dark.”
Everyone stood up.
The short-haired woman named Sister Dao picked up a three-foot-long curved broadsword from the side and led the way downstairs.
Han Bei glanced at the cold girl who was still sitting on the chair before following her downstairs.
After Luo Qingzhou and the middle-aged man named Wu Kui went downstairs, the cold girl stood up lazily and stretched.
Then, she strode down with her sexy long legs.
There was a slender black whip wrapped around her slender waist. The black silk ribbon at the tip of the whip swayed gently as she walked. It was like a snake swaying its head, and it was quite in line with the rhythm of her hips swaying..
