"Young Master!" Zheng Qi's voice rang out from outside the house.
"Come in."
Zheng Qi entered the master bedroom. Xie Wei was dressed casually, wearing silver decorative glasses, holding a book with one hand and flipping through it with the other.
"How many guests came today?" Xie Wei asked casually.
"Four people, one of whom is at the early stage of the Innate Realm, and the rest are at the Acquired Realm," Zheng Qi said. "They have all been dealt with."
Xie Wei nodded.
During his few days in Nancheng, Xie Wei did little more than investigate the Nancheng pharmaceutical market. He spent his time reading, drinking tea, teasing Xie Lan, and fishing.
To be fair, there are plenty of fish in the South City River, and they are all fresh and plump.
However, these past few days have brought an extra task: dealing with unexpected "guests" who have barged in.
“Just like the other two days ago, they all have rose tattoos on their bodies.” Zheng Qi added with a look of disgust, “The Rose Gang is really disgusting, doing these kinds of underhanded things behind people’s backs.”
Xie Wei closed the book, picked up the still-warm water on the table, took a sip, and asked, "Do you think these people are from the Rose Gang?"
Upon hearing Xie Wei's question, Zheng Qi was taken aback, then said, "The Rose Gang's signature tattoo, the Rose Gang's territory..."
Zheng Qi didn't finish speaking, but his meaning was already very clear.
Xie Wei simply smiled faintly.
“My residence is public, and anyone can come to my door, even if it’s on Rose Gang territory.”
"Who can get a rose tattoo? Who told you that it's the symbol of the Rose Gang?"
“We’ve met with the Rose Gang. Do you think they would only send someone of this caliber if they really wanted to kill me?”
"This..." Zheng Qi couldn't refute Xie Wei's words; he had been prejudiced against him from the start.
"Including today, there have been three groups of people. The skill levels of each group are about the same. The first group has already failed. Sending more people over would just be sending them to their deaths," Xie Wei said calmly, as if he were telling a story.
"These people were sent here just to test us. Who would test us three times?"
"Based on what I just said, the answer is three different people."
At this point, Zheng Qi understood what Xie Wei meant.
"But why would they pretend to be the Rose Gang? What's between us and the Rose Gang..." Zheng Qi was speaking when he suddenly remembered that Xie Wei had asked him to spread the word about their cooperation with the Rose Gang.
Zheng Qi suddenly realized that the young master in front of him had long anticipated this would happen.
He wasn't afraid of things slipping out of his control; at least in this matter, he was confident enough.
Zheng Qi was increasingly unable to understand what Xie Wei was up to, but he had a feeling that Xie Wei was about to do something big, which made him excited as well.
Looking at Zheng Qi's state, Xie Wei seemed to guess what the other was thinking and sighed helplessly.
Zheng Qi is a good person in every way, except that he thinks too much. People always idolize him and think that everything he does has a deeper meaning.
However, this is not a bad thing; people like him are more loyal.
After taking a shower, Xie Wei came out wearing only a towel wrapped around his waist.
The weather in the south of the city wasn't cold; the temperature was just right, and the air was a bit humid. This outfit made it very comfortable to stay outside for a while after taking a shower.
After changing my clothes, I went downstairs to get my books and poured myself a glass of water before heading back to my room.
The stairs connecting the first and second floors of this villa lead directly to a large balcony.
Xie Wei glanced at the balcony and saw a dark figure.
Upon closer inspection, he turned out to be a rather unusual man.
With his platinum blonde, naturally curly, layered hair, well-defined features, and pale gold eyes that accentuate his charisma, along with his fair skin, he is a classic handsome foreign man.
If there's anything special about him, it's that he has a pair of pure white wings on his back.
Yes, you read that right, it's a pair of wings.
The person is flapping their wings and hovering in the air.
Before Xie Wei could speak, he heard the man say in broken Chinese, "My name is Michael Brun, and we will meet again."
After speaking, she seemed to give Xie Wei a faint smile, but the smile was clearly not friendly.
Sensing that the other party had ill intentions, Xie Wei ignored them and kept scanning Bren with his eyes.
Perhaps feeling that Xie Wei's actions were unexpected, he left with a "this is boring" comment and flew away.
After Bren left, Xie Wei left the balcony and went back to his room, muttering something to himself.
"In the early stages of breaking through to the mortal realm, the [Angel] clan also got involved in the affairs of Nancheng, which is becoming more and more interesting."
Thinking about how the other person was wearing a white suit and had those big wings, I wondered what the back of the suit looked like, and I was curious to see it.
Thinking about this, Xie Wei could already picture it in his mind.
And on the second floor of the Rose Bar, which is also located in the West District.
Amber entered a room.
"Big Stone, how's it going?" Hongyu stood on one side of the table, her upper body leaning on it, revealing large expanses of her snow-white chest.
Amber rolled her eyes at her and closed the door behind her. Everyone's code name is Gem, but this woman only distinguishes between big and small stones.
"Did you get anything out of those troublemakers?" Agate asked Amber, who had closed the door.
"Those people are at least at the Innate Realm; we can't let them lose those tables and chairs for nothing."
Amber opened her mouth, glanced at the shadows, and then said, "We used some tricks. The people who came to cause trouble said they were from the Xie family."
"He didn't do it!" Black Rose's cold voice came out, her tone firm, as she closed her eyes to rest in a place where the bar lights couldn't reach.
"You're already getting impatient before I've even said anything." Hongyu crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow at Black Rose, who had her eyes closed.
Black Rose ignored what Ruby said.
Agate casually picked up a wine glass, swirled it idly, and said, "It definitely wasn't that Xie family member who did it. We all know how that Xie family member works. He wouldn't have such a stupid person around him who would expose his identity so easily."
"But to hire someone to impersonate the Xie family and cause trouble—that's incredibly stupid. It seems someone's got their hands on this," Amber said. "Maybe the Xie family member has encountered something similar to what we're going through, and is just waiting to see this foolish person make a scene."
"What should we do with those people?" Hongyu turned her head back towards Black Rose.
Seemingly sensing Hongyu's gaze, Black Rose slowly opened her eyes, which seemed to contain blades, terrifyingly sharp.
But the bright smile at the corners of his mouth made it seem as if something good was about to happen.
"Keep it, I have a use for it."
Hongyu had an "I knew it" look on her face, chuckled twice, and then walked out of the room.
The remaining two exchanged a glance, realizing that the other was probably thinking something similar to themselves, and then looked away and left the room.
