What Lin Xiaolou said next left Jiuju completely bewildered. Lin Xiaolou said excitedly, "Please take me to see him, Mr. Jiuju!"

"Uh..." Jiuju felt a little flattered.

Although Lin Xiaolou had never fought him because of the magic weapon in his hand, he could feel the powerful pressure emanating from Lin Xiaolou, which showed that this person was a master among masters.

Lin Xiaolou's impression of him was that she was very aloof. Today was the first time she had spoken to him in such a tone and even called him "sir".

However, Jiuju also sensed that Lin Xiaolou's reaction was strange. He chuckled and said, "No need to rush, my people have already gone to find her and will definitely bring her to you. Then... ha!"

"Really? When is he coming?" Lin Xiaolou asked, unable to contain her excitement. "I haven't seen him for a very, very long time."

Jiuju was astonished. He had heard that the woman named Fang Nian lived in the opera troupe where this gentleman worked! Shouldn't they see each other all the time since they were in the same opera troupe? How come they hadn't seen each other for "a very long time"?

Chu Nian, hiding in the shadows, had already realized that what the two were saying was completely nonsensical. She just chuckled to herself and didn't think about coming out to correct them.

Although Jiuju was puzzled, he did not voice his doubts: he felt that asking an inappropriate question in this situation would lower his status.

After a while, seeing that Wang Chengcheng hadn't arrived with anyone, Jiuju Yisheng gave her subordinate a wink. They had a secret method to contact each other, so the subordinate quickly cast a spell to contact Wang Chengcheng. Upon contacting her, his expression changed, and he quickly whispered in Jiuju Yisheng's ear, "Miss Wang seems to have encountered some trouble."

People like them, thinking they can keep secrets from Lin Xiaolou and whisper things to each other? Don't be ridiculous.

Lin Xiaolou bluntly asked, "Who is Miss Wang?"

When Jiuju heard that Wang Chengcheng was in trouble, she was really shocked. She replied, "Wang Chengcheng is the one I just mentioned who had a romantic entanglement with you."

Lin Xiaolou: "What Wang Chengcheng? I don't know her at all."

Jiuju's face turned a little pale: she felt that she had really been deceived by Wang Chengcheng.

But despite her deception, she's now considered one of his people in front of outsiders. Since she's in trouble, if he doesn't step in and handle it, his people will probably be bullied like this in the future.

He never imagined that Fang Nian, whom they were looking for, would play a role in Wang Chengcheng's murder: he knew very well that some members of the Jiuju family believed that this woman would only cause trouble and had long wanted to get rid of her.

Therefore, as soon as Jiuju heard about her accident, he knew it was his family's doing. Not all of his subordinates were from Jiuju's family. If they were all to be eliminated by Jiuju's family because of this, how could he use his men?

He didn't care what would happen if that woman died, but he had to use this incident to establish his authority.

Chu Nian silently lit a candle for that Miss Wang in her heart, looking at how much trouble she was caused by Lin Xiaolou, but Lin Xiaolou didn't care about her at all, and after a few years he even forgot who Wang Chengcheng was.

This is truly something else.

I wonder who she got this bad habit from, being so heartless!

Jiuju suppressed her temper and chuckled, "Whether Mr. Lou remembers who Wang Chengcheng is or not, she's in trouble now, and I need to go and see her."

Lin Xiaolou is Lou Qianzong's stage name when he was singing opera. When he first met Jiuju, he had not yet entered the opera world and was using his original name, Lou Qianzong.

When he heard that Jiuju was leaving, he quickly said, "What? You're leaving before she even arrives?" This won't do; he has to see his master today.

Jiuju said, "Wang Chengcheng is the person I sent to bring people here."

Lin Xiaolou was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled and said, "So, he simply doesn't have the ability to invite my master here. What a joke, he made me all excited for nothing."

"Master?" Jiuju Yisheng was surprised. "I heard that Fang Nian was just a child when she met you. She is your master?"

"Fang Nian?" Lin Xiaolou looked shocked, then suddenly realized, "So the person I've been concerned about all this time is her! Tch!"

This guy immediately looked disdainful and dismissive, which made Chu Nian so angry that she almost jumped out to argue with him: What do you mean by this? Isn't she someone he cares about? Even if she isn't, there's no need to act like this!

Jiuju Yisheng: "What, you don't care about her?"

Lin Xiaolou retorted, "Why should I care about her? It turns out that Miss Wang went to see her; she must have been dealt with by her."

Jiuju Yisheng's lips twitched slightly as he said, "Wang Chengcheng is quite talented. She has been cultivating the demonic path with me for many years and has already reached a certain level of proficiency. Not just anyone can deal with her."

Chu Nian felt that Jiu Ju had no idea how powerful firearms were. Wang Chengcheng was shot to death by someone from Jiu Ju's family without even putting up a fight.

Of course, Wang Chengcheng was indeed caught off guard when she was shot. However, her inability to dodge also shows that the "certain timing" that Jiuju had mentioned was really not very good.

Lin Xiaolou rolled her eyes and said, "She's someone even I can handle."

Jiuju asked in surprise, "What? She's also from the world of magic?" He only knew that Lou Qianzong was from HX before; there were others, but he felt they weren't enough to compare. He never expected another one to appear now.

Lin Xiaolou: "Since Miss Wang went to see her, she must have gone to the opera troupe. Let me go back with you!"

Jiuju quickly smiled and said, "Oh, then I'll have to trouble you, Mr. Lou."

Chu Nian was getting a little disappointed with the show. She had thought the two sides would fight so she could see the magic weapon that Lou Qianzong was afraid of, but instead the two of them ended up traveling together.

Lou Qianzong and Jiu Ju were both skilled in magic, and they arrived at the opera troupe from outside the city in no time. However, before they even reached the troupe, Lou Qianzong sensed a fog array in the courtyard where the opera troupe was staying. There was indeed a dead person inside, a woman in a kimono. He sensed her features and felt that she looked vaguely familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen her before.

Jiuju's subordinates were incompetent, so he temporarily left them in the suburbs. As he left, he gave a wink to his most trusted confidant.

They thought they could pull some sneaky tricks. But they didn't realize that with their limited abilities, what kind of trouble could they possibly cause under Lou Qianzong's nose? Lou Qianzong had already laid out paper doll formations all over this forest; they couldn't just come and go as they pleased, let alone cause any trouble.
