Wei Gang's heart tightened: "Who are you? Why are you blocking our way?"
The man in black robes didn't even glance at him, but instead stared intently at Luo Xi's carriage: "Master of the Red Pavilion, I have long admired you. I wonder if you would be so kind as to come out and meet me?"
The owner of the Red Mansion? Wei Qing's mind went blank for a moment: "Great hero, you must have mistaken me for someone else. This is the Wei family's caravan, and we have nothing to do with the Red Mansion."
The Red Mansion, the number one assassin's mansion in the world, was a name that Wei Qing, though serving in the government, had heard of.
He had a feeling that something was wrong. Why was this person staring at his benefactor's carriage? Could it be... that his benefactor was the owner of the Red Chamber?
And who is this man?
"May I ask your name?" Wei Qing asked, frowning.
The man in black lifted his eyelids and this time he was willing to pay attention to him: "Coincidentally, I am Jiuxian, and I am also the master of the Red Chamber."
Two owners of the Dream of the Red Chamber? Wei Qing was completely dumbfounded.
What exactly happened?
"What? You're the owner of the Red Mansion?" Wei Gang's eyes widened, clearly indicating that he also knew about the Red Mansion.
No wonder the people surrounding them were all menacing. What should they do?
Then, the person in question arrived. Sitting in the carriage, Rosie smiled calmly.
When she impersonated Honglou, she knew this day would come, but it happened much sooner than expected.
She told Aunt Wei and the others not to come out, but she herself got off the carriage and walked up to the man in black.
"You must have mistaken me for someone else. We've never even heard of any brothels or red-light districts." She stubbornly denied it.
Brothels? The thin lips beneath the Nine-String Mask twitched slightly.
He scanned the neat and efficient woman in front of him with his sharp, hawk-like eyes for a while before saying, "Luo Xi, you're very good!"
“I know that, you don’t need to praise me,” Rose smiled.
Jiuxian: "...??" Is that what he meant?
"My benefactor, be careful." Seeing her so close to the man in black, Wei Qing was very worried.
Without turning his head, Rose waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to worry.
She stared at Jiu Xian: "So, what is the meaning of your bringing people here to block our way?"
This was a clear rejection. Jiuxian succinctly stated, "Jiuqu Village and the like are the lowest of the low, not worthy of my Red Mansion's attention, and certainly not worthy of picking up their trash."
Collecting scraps?
"What a sharp tongue," Rose gritted her teeth. She'd remembered this kid.
However, this Dream of the Red Chamber is quite something.
They found her in such a short time and were able to pinpoint her location precisely.
It seems that there's no way to deny it now.
"So what do you want?"
Nine Strings took two steps forward, full of fighting spirit: "Let's have a fight. If I'm satisfied, then this matter will be over."
"That won't do. Whether you're satisfied or not is up to you." Wei Qing's expression was very bad. What if this person only felt satisfied after killing them all?
Her benefactor had saved the Wei family many times. If he were to die for her, Wei Qing would have no complaints. But... he couldn't die like this, without knowing why.
Jiuxian ignored Wei Qing completely, staring only at Luo Xi: "Fight, or... leave no one alive, the choice is yours."
His voice was devoid of any emotion, and his words were chillingly cold.
Luo Xi chuckled: "Alright, let's fight then."
Over the years, who has she ever been afraid of?
“However, it needs to be made clear whether it’s just the two of us fighting, or whether we’re fighting a whole group of you.” Luo Xi glanced at the men in black who were surrounding them.
Jiuxian glanced at Wei Gang and the others, and sneered: "Them? I'm not that free."
He raised his hand and waved at the man in black.
Instantly, those people disappeared without a trace, just like when they came, leaving only two people who also walked away into the distance.
The meaning is self-evident.
Wei Gang's face turned bright red. What did they do? He could have taken one or two of them down with him even if it meant his own death.
However, he didn't say anything, but just looked at Rose, whose team was now led by her.
Luo Xi curled her lips: "Alright, I'll fight you."
She was not afraid at all as long as not everyone rushed at her.
"Wait for me a moment."
Luo Xi quickly took out a few pebble-like objects from her bag, walked over, and handed them to Wei Qing.
"Here you go. You've always wanted this, so don't smash it, or don't blame me for taking your life."
Luo Xi emphasized the words "smash" and "deadly" very heavily, and quickly winked at Wei Qing before throwing the backpack into the carriage.
Wei Qing was clever and understood immediately: "I understand. I will definitely not break it carelessly. My benefactor, please be careful."
Luo Xi subtly curled her lips, as if to say, "It's good that you know."
This is a new weapon recently developed by those mad scientists in the apocalypse, specifically designed to deal with high-level zombies, and its power is astonishing.
One of Jiuxian's remaining subordinates scoffed, "Another poison powder or gas? How boring."
The other one was equally unconcerned: "They have no idea how we Red Mansion assassins are trained, and how we use poison. How ridiculous."
Even the most potent poison can't harm these drug addicts trained in their den.
"Qinglong, how many moves do you think this woman can last against the Master?"
"Two moves at most." Qinglong said dismissively, "I don't know what the boss was thinking. He could have just sent us over and finished it off in a few moves. Why did he have to come over himself and have a fight? It's a waste of time."
Baihu coughed lightly and lowered his voice: "You know perfectly well that the Lord has nothing to do lately and is quite bored. His arrival here is just what we need."
It's better to mess with others than to drag those few protectors into it.
