Song Bo hadn't brought breakfast yet, and Su Qingluan was enthusiastically asking Kaiyang all kinds of strange questions.
"Can you hurt someone with a single leaf or flower without them even noticing?"
Kaiyang used a subtle look that Su Qingluan didn't notice to quickly glance in Mu Xingzhi's direction and said vaguely: "Although I can't do it, there should be someone who can do it, right?"
"Huh?" Su Qingluan was surprised. "I thought those who could be secret guards were all top-notch experts?"
Kaiyang felt that his martial arts skills were being looked down upon, and he quickly explained, "Although I am not very talented, my skills can barely be ranked among the top masters in the martial arts world."
"But you can't fly like a leaf?"
Kaiyang's mouth twitched. "That requires extremely deep internal energy to be infused into the flower leaves. Anyone who can do this is not only unrivaled in the martial arts world of past and present, but also unrivaled in the world today!"
Su Qingluan's face was clearly filled with disappointment. "I thought it was easy to hurt someone with just a few flying flowers and leaves... Never mind, at least there are people who can actually do it."
What kind of tone is that? Kaiyang asked speechlessly, "Where did you learn all these words?" Something like "even falling flowers and plucking leaves can hurt people" sounds quite like street jargon.
Su Qingluan's eyes lit up: "It's in the storybook!"
Kaiyang was speechless for a while.
However, Su Qingluan had already started to move on to the next topic - after all, it was not easy to catch such a secret guard, and this kind of person's whereabouts were unpredictable, what if he could not meet him again in the future?
So seize the opportunity!
"Do you know there's a hidden weapon called 'Rain of Pear Blossom Needles'?"
Kaiyang's face was numb: "I don't know, I'm not sure."
"It's said to be a mechanism with a thousand poisonous silver needles inside. The poison is fatal on contact with blood. It can shoot out in all directions in an instant, killing a hundred or eighty people instantly! Just like that, whoosh whoosh whoosh—"
"Stop swishing," Kaiyang said with a headache. "First of all, Madam Su, do you know how much space it would take to carry a thousand silver needles? And a thousand silver needles would weigh at least several kilograms, which would be a huge burden! And that thing about shooting them in all directions? If I don't do it right, I'll die!!"
Later on, he asked questions, and his voice even broke due to collapse. At the same time, he looked at his master with infinite resentment, and the meaning was very clear - please have mercy on me and take this monster in, so that she won't harm me anymore!
However, when faced with the pitiful look of his subordinates asking for help, Mu Xingzhi looked at them with great interest, appearing to be cold and ruthless.
It was at this time that Song Bo brought breakfast.
Instantly, Kaiyang looked at Song Bo with a gaze that was like seeing a savior descend upon the world. If he had ever heard the Snake Band's songs, he would surely have been unable to help but sing along—You are the electricity, you are the light, you are the only myth!
In contrast, Su Qingluan looked as if she was still unsatisfied, but thinking that she still had things to do later, she decided to have breakfast quickly and leave.
Song Bo was a little surprised, so he asked tentatively, "Did the boss tell Madam Su about what happened last night?"
Su Qingluan took a big gulp of her porridge and raised her head: "I told you, you just told me!" Then she lowered her head and slurped her food - after all, it was already noon, and she had to hurry, as Xie's house was quite far away from here.
Song Bo raised an eyebrow. This reaction was completely different from what he expected, wasn't it? Generally speaking, when someone is backstabbed by their partner, even if they're not furious enough to seek revenge immediately, they'd at least be sad and disappointed, right?
Why doesn't Miss Su look like she's disappointed or angry, but rather... eager to try?
In a sense, Song Bo was not wrong. Su Qingluan was indeed eager to try it now.
Before, Mu Xingzhi asked her if she wanted to cause trouble for the Xie Mansion, so after Su Qingluan had eaten and drunk her fill, she was full of energy and first took the villagers' donkey cart along the way, and then hired one or two ox carts, and arrived at the gate of the Xie Mansion on time, ready to cause trouble for the other party.
Su Qingluan felt that, in a sense, as long as she showed up at the gate of Xie's house in one piece, she would in some sense be causing trouble for the other party.
What's more - she squeezed the paper in her hand - she still has plenty of confidence now!
The Xie Mansion's doorman had no idea what was going on. He only knew that Su Qingluan had negotiated a contract with the Xie Mansion yesterday on behalf of "Su Ji" and that today was the day for the final signing. So, he readily informed Su Qingluan that everything was going on. He was just a little puzzled—this young lady had been dressed so festively before, like a young girl before a bodhisattva. Why was she dressed so... simply today?
In fact, Su Qingluan initially thought that she had time to go home and change clothes, but later she thought that - facing the partner who stabbed her in the back, she should be grateful to the other party for coming, so what did she care about appearance?
So when she saw Steward Xie and Aunt Zhang coming out of the door, one dumbfounded and the other with a sullen face, Su Qingluan's venomous nature began to flare up: "Hey, you two, after not seeing you all night, why do you look a little off?"
She first glanced at Aunt Zhang. "Aunt Zhang, why are you grinning from ear to ear? Did you catch a cold last night and have a stroke? Don't blame me for being blunt, I'm only concerned for your health. The doctors at Huichun Hall in town are all experts in curing illnesses. Would you like to get some medicine to treat your squint?"
"And Manager Xie, did you get a good rest last night? Look at your face, it's grayish, and your brow is black. Did something go wrong? Oh, you must relax, otherwise you'll easily get sick!"
