"Tsk tsk tsk, a thief god? Not so great." The bearded man took the towel handed to him by one of the henchmen and rubbed it against Luo Xi's face.
Instantly, Rose's makeup was completely removed, revealing her true face.
The bearded man turned around and wiped Jiu Xian's face again, but after wiping for a long time, his face was still the same. Except for his eyes, which were somewhat frighteningly sinister, his appearance did not change at all.
"Tch, so it's a man." He said regretfully.
As for Jiuxian's sinister gaze, he didn't take it seriously at all.
It's just a fat sheep on the chopping board, what can it do even if it's fierce?
He circled around Luo Xi and the other person a few times: "You know what? I went through a lot of trouble to catch you, but you turned out to be so weak. How boring."
Loxi: "..."
"So, you knew all along that it was us, and deliberately set a trap here?"
"Otherwise what?" The bearded man laughed loudly, "You dare to offend our master? You're courting death."
"They even claimed to have terrified all the heroes out there. I think they're nothing special."
His tone was full of contempt.
"Your elders?" Luo Xi's expression hardened. "Who are they?"
They've been robbing a lot of people lately, and Loxi really can't guess who's behind it.
Could it be Zhu Da?
It's also her fault. She had successfully carried out more than ten robberies, so she assumed that the robbers were all good-for-nothings and lost her vigilance.
"You don't need to know that," the bearded man glanced at her sideways. "In the end, we'll all just be corpses anyway, so why ask so many questions?"
A corpse? He really dares to say that. Luo Xi stopped arguing with him and secretly activated her superpower.
The bearded man didn't stop her; instead, he looked at Rosie with amusement.
At this point, Rosie discovered that not only had her powers stopped working, but she also couldn't muster any strength.
Ah, she had to admit that she had indeed been careless; ancient things weren't entirely inferior to modern ones.
“Aren’t you immune to most poisons?” She placed her hopes on Jiuxian.
Jiuxian glanced at Luo Xi lightly: "...This is the Poison Doctor's Muscle-Weakening Powder."
So he also got infected.
Loxi: "..."
"Hahaha—" The bearded man laughed even louder: "These are muscle-relaxing powder and specially made ropes that I specially prepared for you. I even got a lot of good stuff from the poison doctor for this muscle-relaxing powder."
"You know the Poison Doctor, right? He's famous throughout the dynasty and even beyond the Great Wall. Not only is his medical skill superb, but his poison skills are also unparalleled. The poisons he concocts are not only colorless and odorless, but their toxicity is also unmatched. No matter how powerful your martial arts are, you can't escape them."
“Oh, I forgot.” He pointed at Jiuxian: “Since you recognized this as the Poison Doctor’s Muscle-Weakening Powder, you must also know his abilities.”
Jiuxian's gaze was indifferent, showing no intention of paying any attention to the bearded man, treating him as if he were invisible.
The bearded man was furious and kicked Jiuxian in the stomach.
"You androgynous bastard, how dare you look down on me? You're asking for death."
As he spoke, he kicked out repeatedly, each kick aimed straight at Jiu Xian's stomach. In no time, Jiu Xian's face turned pale, but his gaze toward the bearded man remained cold and indifferent, as if he were looking at an ant.
"You...very good!" The bearded man was filled with shame and anger. He put all his internal energy into his foot and kicked Jiu Xian away with a diagonal kick.
Jiuxian crashed heavily to the ground, opened his mouth, and silently spat out a mouthful of blood, staining a small patch of ground beneath him. He had instantly suffered serious internal injuries.
"Nine Strings!" Luo Xi's expression changed drastically: "You bastard, do you know who this is? How could you treat him like this? He is the master of the Red Chamber. You are courting death."
"The Master of the Red Chamber?" The bearded man's pupils constricted, and he stopped kicking Jiu Xian, staring intently at the man who was lying on the ground but still exuded an extraordinary aura. His expression shifted.
The Red Mansion is the number one assassin's mansion in the world; everyone inside is a madman who doesn't care about his life.
Could this person really be their building owner?
Although there were rumors that the owner of the Red Mansion had recently been deliberately making trouble for various mountain strongholds, he always felt that this was impossible.
But looking at this person's demeanor now, he really does seem somewhat like one.
The bearded man felt a chill run down his spine. Luckily, he was well-prepared; otherwise, the outcome of this operation would have been uncertain.
After thinking for a while with his head down, he said in a deep voice, "Take them both away and lock them in the prepared cells."
Loxi breathed a sigh of relief; as long as he wasn't killed on the spot, there was still a chance.
Just as she was about to ask Jiuxian how he was, the henchmen quickly blindfolded her with strips of cloth and grabbed one of her arms and legs, lifting her up.
Luo Xi: "..." Why does this feel like carrying a pig?
When the blindfold was removed, they were locked in an empty little room without any light. If it weren't for Rosie's good eyesight, she would have been completely blind.
Moreover, all their belongings were searched, and even the jade pendant they wore as jewelry was not left behind.
"Nine Strings, how are you?" Luo Xi stretched her body, which was bound in a ball, and slowly moved toward the man lying motionless on the ground.
That damn bearded man, he locked them up inside and wouldn't untie them.
"I won't die." Jiuxian's voice was still icy, but his tone was weaker than usual, sounding somewhat feeble, and he coughed incessantly after speaking.
"That bearded man must be Dong Han, the Shadowless Kick. In the Tianqi Dynasty, his leg skills are, well, unmatched."
"I wonder who it is that managed to get him to deal with us, cough cough..."
