Rosie: "...??!"
Is there something wrong with her ears? Or is there something wrong with this person?
After getting beaten up, they actually invited her to be the deputy host. What kind of weird thinking is that?
Moreover, although she won, it was only a narrow victory, and she was hit several times. Their skills were evenly matched.
I'm not that great enough to make this guy look at me differently, am I?
The people outside exchanged bewildered glances: "..."
They were just fighting to the death a moment ago, how come they're at it again... I really can't keep up with their train of thought.
Baihu's expression changed drastically: "Master, you mustn't!"
How could they allow an outsider to be the deputy head of the Red Mansion?
Jiuxian broke free from Luo Xi and with a backhand slap, sent the white tiger flying: "Go to the secluded valley and stay there for a month."
His voice was icy, and his eyes were fierce.
Luo Xi looked at the white tiger lying on the ground, spitting blood, and was a little confused. It was just a matter of saying one sentence, why did he have to be so ruthless?
She might not even agree.
"..." The color drained completely from Baihu's face.
He got up without a word and knelt on the ground, not even daring to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth: "Yes, Master, I know my crime."
Jiuxian didn't even look at him, turning to Luo Xi: "So? Do you agree?"
Rosie: "..." You still remember this?
She said calmly, "I'll think about it."
Jiuxian squinted at Luo Xi for a long time, then floated out of the carriage without looking back.
"I'll challenge you to a duel again next time," he shouted.
Loxi raised an eyebrow noncommittally.
After Jiuxian walked away, Baihu stood up in a disheveled state, his head hanging low, having lost all the energy he had just displayed.
"Brother, hang in there." Qinglong raised his hand and patted Baihu on the shoulder.
However, he showed no sympathy for this guy. Who was the poster? After all this time, didn't he have any self-awareness? How dare he contradict him?
That's just asking for trouble.
Baihu sighed, "It's alright, it's only a month, you won't die."
He regretted it as soon as he said it.
Luo Xi looked at this and then at that, asking curiously, "What kind of place is the secluded valley?"
Is that expression really necessary?
Baihu's expression became even more complicated. He didn't want to pay attention to her, but considering the attitude of the lord, he had no choice but to say, "This is where we train assassins in the Red Mansion."
Anyway, it's not a secret.
"Training ground, huh?" Luo Xi chuckled. "Good punishment. I think it's too lenient. He should go for a year or six months or something."
If they were her subordinates, they wouldn't have trained for only a month; such a short time wouldn't yield any results.
White Tiger: "...??"
What a deep grudge! And you still want a year or six months?
He's already struggling for a month.
The white tiger turned and left in anger, just like the landlord. No wonder the landlord looked at him differently.
Qinglong almost died laughing.
It's full of venomous snakes and scorpions, tigers and wolves, and miasma—all deadly creatures. With White Tiger's limited skills, if he stayed there for half a year, he probably wouldn't even have any bones left.
But there's no need to say that.
He touched his nose, bowed to Rose, and then left.
Losi was confused: "Isn't this training for their own good? What kind of subordinates are these? They're so ungrateful."
Unlike Chu Zhe and the others, they never slack off during training.
(Chu Zhe, a thousand miles away: Captain, you may forget about doubling the training volume for anyone who slacks off, but we dare not forget it.)
Wei Gang, however, was eager for them all to leave: "My benefactor, the people from the Red Mansion won't be coming back, will they?"
He was really frightened by them this time.
I really don't know about this, but whatever, we'll deal with whatever comes our way.
"Wei Qing, it's getting late. Let's find a place to camp nearby. Everyone must be exhausted."
Wei Qing hesitated for a moment, then looked at her for a while before finally asking, "My benefactor, are you really going to be the deputy head of the Red Chamber?"
Although it seems that the Dream of the Red Chamber is not as bad as rumored now, it is still the number one assassin building in the world.
Wei Gang and the others also looked at Luo Xi, who had just said she needed to think about it.
Luo Xi chuckled, "No."
At least not now. She's not that naive. Although Jiu Xian seems different from the rumors, who knows if he's faking it?
Luo Xi was confident in her judgment of people, but she had only just met Jiu Xian, so it was hard to say.
Wei Qing was relieved.
He chuckled and urged everyone to hurry up and find a place to stay, but they were really unlucky today. It wasn't until it was completely dark that they found a sheltered spot with water.
“My benefactor, this is fine. The water level is low, but it’s still usable.”
The weather has been getting hotter and hotter lately, and many places that used to have water have now dried up.
Without water, there's no way to cook, making it unsuitable for a base.
"Alright." Luo Xi wasn't a particularly picky person; as long as she had a place to stay, that was fine, and besides, she had plenty of water in her spatial storage.
It's an entire river.
Most importantly, she fought two battles with that madman today, and she's really exhausted.
So, after eating, Luo Xi climbed into the carriage, poured herself a small cup of spiritual spring water, drank it down, and began her daily cultivation routine.
After what happened at the Red Mansion today, her sense of urgency grew even stronger.
Only by constantly improving herself can Rose feel at ease.
To be honest, the fight was tiring, but the gains were substantial. A professionally trained expert like Jiu Xian is different from a zombie. Luo Xi learned a lot from him.
As she absorbed the spiritual spring water, she deduced the details of the fight between the two men that day. The more she deduced, the more engrossed she became, and she didn't even notice that it was already dawn.
Therefore, she naturally didn't notice that there were two extra people in her carriage. Of course, it was also because neither of them exuded any murderous aura, and their presence was somewhat familiar; otherwise, she would have known much earlier.
Wei Zhou, who was sitting obediently next to Luo Xi, saw that the bad guy from yesterday appear in her benefactor sister's carriage again, and her little face turned red with anger.
Although the man wasn't wearing a mask today, the child recognized him at a glance.
His sister was still sleeping; he couldn't let the bad guys pull out her tongue.
Wei Zhou quickly stood up, puffing out his small chest, and stood in front of Luo Xi, his protective intent obvious.
Jiuxian looked at him with disdain, not taking the little kid seriously at all.
But what is that?
He raised his hand and stretched it towards the child's feet.
Wei Zhou's mind went completely blank: Daddy, Zhou Zhou is going to lose her tongue, what should we do?
Will it hurt?
However, the hand that terrified him didn't reach for his mouth; instead, it picked up the chocolate he had just dropped.
My sister gave it to me!
"That's mine." Wei Zhou instantly transformed into a little tiger, pouncing on the tiger with a fierce yet adorable expression.
Jiuxian slowly extended his long, strong left hand, pressed it against Weizhou's forehead, and then peeled off the candy wrapper with one hand.
Under the child's angry gaze, he slowly put it into his mouth: "Now it belongs to me."
Wei Zhou's eyes immediately reddened: "You bad person, that was given to Zhouzhou by my sister."
He frantically flapped his short arms and chubby legs.
