As he finished speaking, Qin Luo's mind flashed back to what the waiter had said.
Then, he looked at Wu Zhaoliang with certainty.
"Did you kill the Jiu Fang family's child?"
As soon as she finished asking, Wu Hua immediately added...
"More than that, I think the reason why Duan Yang's family wants to become the city lord is probably partly due to her instigation."
Despite being seen through by the two, Wu Zhaoliang showed no embarrassment; instead, his tone carried a hint of smugness.
"Just some petty tricks. It's a pity that even the pain of losing a child and the power that was within their grasp couldn't ignite their fighting spirit."
Qin Luo was speechless after hearing this. Isn't this just pure perversion?
Why can't you just talk things out? Why do you have to kill someone's child, especially at their coming-of-age ceremony?
As for that readily available right, all that's needed is for her and the Jiu Fang families to agree.
Apart from those two families, no one in the city could rival the Duan Yang family.
I really don't understand what Wu Zhaoliang is thinking. His actions, besides causing harm, have absolutely no allure whatsoever.
It's estimated that the rumors circulating in the city that the Duan Yang family wants to become the city lord were spread by Wu Zhaoliang.
Qin Luo grew increasingly disgusted with the person in front of her; anyone with eyes could see that. Wu Hua had no choice but to step in and smooth things over.
"Alright, let bygones be bygones, let's continue discussing the next steps."
Then, he took the lead in expressing his opinion.
“Your idea is good, but I think it’s better for us to take the initiative than to wait for the enemy to come to us.”
Wu Zhaoliang disagreed with his viewpoint.
"If I take the initiative, won't they be able to find out that I did it? If they form an alliance, will I still have a chance to survive?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Hua looked at her with a hint of disdain.
"You're really good at scheming; you want to gain benefits without getting your hands dirty."
Wu Zhaoliang didn't think there was anything wrong with his ideas.
"People live for fame and fortune. I want to gain profit, but I don't want to tarnish my reputation. Isn't that normal?"
Qin Luo was so shocked by this shameless remark that her eyes widened.
Wu Hua didn't want to argue with her about these things, so she simply settled the matter directly.
“We will act in secret and make sure no one suspects that this matter is related to you. What you need to do is spread the word about your fight with Dan Xiu. They will naturally connect the dots after that.”
Upon hearing that he could be exonerated, Wu Zhaoliang agreed without hesitation.
They even summoned a maid to prepare the finest guest rooms for the two of them.
The moment the two left, her expression changed.
He stared at their retreating figures with an extremely sinister gaze, as if he wanted to tear them to pieces.
As if sensing her malice, Wu Hua suddenly turned around and met her gaze.
Wu Zhaoliang, however, pretended nothing had happened, nodded at him, and maintained his usual gentle demeanor.
Wu Hua didn't give her a friendly look, disdainfully withdrawing her gaze.
Turning back to follow the maid, Qin Luo noticed him pause and assumed he was tired, so she immediately bent down and picked him up.
As they walked, she massaged his calves with her hands.
"Did you sit for too long and your legs went numb? Our little one has really suffered. It's all that pervert's fault for wanting both of us, talking too much and being annoying."
Wu Hua felt much better after hearing her curse.
"Luo Luo is right, perverts are disgusting to look at."
The two of them kept hurling insults at each other, and they ended up at the guest room door.
The maid leading the way didn't dare raise her head, afraid of accidentally offending the two men and becoming the one to be scolded.
As soon as Qin Luo and Wu Hua entered the room, they slammed the door shut.
The maid was startled by the sound and lowered her head even further.
Thinking that if it weren't for his shallow cultivation level, he would never have been able to swallow this insult.
Unfortunately, he lacks natural talent, and his cultivation speed is far slower than others. Now, he can only rely on patience when faced with problems.
After Qin Luo and Wu Hua returned to their room, they did not enter the spatial dimension.
They knew perfectly well that, given Wu Zhaoliang's personality, there must be someone secretly monitoring him.
If they discover this space, it will definitely cause unnecessary trouble.
The two ordered some food casually, and after eating and washing up,
After setting up a protective barrier in the room, they lay on the bed and chatted idly.
"Little one, what exactly should we do? We're not going to do what we did before, pouring water from our spatial stream into people's wells, are we?"
Wu Hua hadn't really thought it through either.
"It's not impossible. Let's try to infiltrate the Jiu Fang and Duan Yang families first."
As it spoke, it gestured to Qin Luo with its small hand, indicating that the person outside possessed profound cultivation and that it could hear their conversation.
Qin Luo smiled slightly and began her nonsense.
“Alright, let’s capture those two family heads and hand them over to Wu Zhaoliang. Once she has done what she wants, we can go to the Central Plains with her and collect our reward.”
"Yes, I also want to see the local customs and eat delicious food."
"Okay, go to sleep now, we still need to scout out the location tomorrow."
"good."
After Wu Hua agreed, he fell asleep, while Qin Luo gently stroked his little face and sighed inwardly.
"If it weren't for me, how could you have lost your energy and suffered such injustice? A dignified auspicious beast has to speak in secret..."
Just as she was starting to have internal conflicts, she heard Wu Hua, who was clearly asleep, speaking in a soft, soothing voice.
"I'll be fine when I grow up. When I grow up, I won't be bullied anymore."
Qin Luo's heart broke upon hearing this. Yes, no matter how intelligent, it was still just a cub.
She's so young, yet she's been through so much hardship with me. Who wouldn't feel heartache if I told them?
The more she thought about it, the more guilty she felt, but as she turned to wipe away her tears, Wu Hua grabbed her arm.
"Go to sleep quickly. The book says that staying up late will cause hair loss, and I don't want to be bald."
