"Hey, you down there! Don't just stand by and watch him die!"
Feeling completely exhausted, Baili Honglan finally couldn't hold on any longer and shouted downstairs.
Su Qinghe, already dressed and eating sunflower seeds with great interest, watched the scene unfold.
"We've been discovered!"
"So what!"
Su Qinghe continued to casually munch on her sunflower seeds.
"Are we that close?"
"I can give you a lot of money!" Baili Honglan said anxiously.
"The fact that I'm being hunted down shows that I'm not a simple person. I'm very rich. If you save me, I can give you a lot of money!"
The two men in black also saw Su Qinghe.
"court death!"
A hidden weapon flew past, and Su Qinghe tilted her head; the weapon was embedded in the pillar behind her.
"So domineering?"
Su Qinghe raised an eyebrow, turned around, and drew her hidden weapon.
"Here you go!"
With a burst of strength, she sent the hidden weapon piercing the right hand of the man in black who was fighting Baili Honglan.
"Ah!" the man in black cried out in pain, and the knife in his hand clattered onto the roof.
Baili Honglan reacted quickly and kicked him off the roof.
"Here's the knife!" she yelled.
"Remember the payment!"
Su Qinghe picked up the knife and quickly climbed onto the roof.
Without his weapon, the man in black couldn't get close to Baili Honglan at all. Now that Su Qinghe had come up, he was quickly slit in the throat.
With both sides seriously injured, what was originally a two-on-one situation where she was completely dominated has now turned into an situation where the opponent has an extra person and has even killed her teammate.
Judging from her skill in throwing the hidden weapon just now, this person is definitely exceptionally skilled.
The man in black took a few steps back, distancing himself from Baili Honglan, and looked at Su Qinghe warily, speaking in a cold voice:
"Friend! She's someone the Seven Killings Pavilion wants to kill! I'm sorry about what happened earlier, and I hope you won't interfere!"
"Seven Kill Pavilion?" Su Qinghe pondered for a moment. "Never heard of it!"
The man in black was furious.
Anyone with even a little skill knows about the Seven Kill Pavilion. She has such high martial arts skills, yet she claims she doesn't know about it!
"Hmph! Since you're going to play dumb, then there's no need for further words. After today, just wait to face the Seven Kill Pavilion's relentless pursuit!"
After uttering his threats, the man in black pulled something from his pocket and threw it on the ground, instantly filling the area with thick smoke.
"You think you can just install it and run away? You're not getting away with that!"
Su Qinghe snorted coldly, snatched the sword from Baili Honglan's hand, and threw it towards the thick smoke.
"Well!"
A muffled groan came from inside, followed by the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.
"Sister, you're amazing!" Baili Honglan weakly gave Su Qinghe a thumbs up.
"I'll give you the payment later, I need to faint for a bit first!"
Before Su Qinghe could react, Baili Honglan collapsed.
She really couldn't hold on any longer, she felt so dizzy...
"Do you really trust me that much?!"
Su Qinghe remained silent, put the black-clad man's corpse into her spatial storage, and carried Baili Honglan back to the restaurant.
"A-Yuan! Bring the medicine box from the cabinet!"
Su Qinghe placed the person in an empty room and instructed Ji Yuan, who was already prepared and waiting in the room.
"Yes, my lady!"
Ji Yuan responded and soon came in carrying a box.
She bought this when she bought medicine for Lin Xi a while ago, just in case. It contains emergency hemostatic supplies.
This person has knife wounds all over his body. He was chased all the way and lost too much blood, which caused him to fall into a coma. As long as the bleeding stops, he will be fine.
...
early morning.
Three men were busy in the kitchen, while Su Qinghe was practicing martial arts in the backyard.
"The Queen has awakened!"
Lin Xi brought out the dishes and saw Baili Honglan coming downstairs.
"Greetings, sir! Um..."
Baili Honglan didn't know if the man in front of her was the woman's husband from last night, so she didn't dare to ask rashly.
"Is Your Majesty looking for my wife? She's in the backyard!" Lin Xi said with a smile, pointing in that direction.
The wife told them everything that happened last night. Although they were worried about being implicated, they would still listen to her in everything and would not be cold to the people she had saved.
"Thank you, my lord!"
Baili Honglan cupped her hands in greeting to him and headed towards the backyard.
At this moment, Su Qinghe was wielding the longsword, the spoils of the previous night, with great power and skill.
Mercenaries often use daggers, but she has some experience with various weapons, including swords.
"Excellent swordsmanship!"
Baili Honglan stood on the steps, clapping her hands and shouting.
"I can tell you're exaggerating!" Su Qinghe sheathed her sword and walked up to her.
"Hehe! No way! I'm just saying it from the bottom of my heart!" Baili Honglan scratched her head and gave a slightly embarrassed smile.
"Alright! Enough of that, how much are you planning to pay me?" Su Qinghe stared at her and got straight to the point.
Baili Honglan was speechless... Her demeanor didn't seem like that of a greedy person at all!
Why are you always thinking about the payment? She's not going to run away!
“Three hundred taels!” she said confidently.
Su Qinghe didn't seem to come from a wealthy family. Three hundred taels was an astronomical figure for ordinary people, so she definitely wouldn't complain!
“Take it back and say it again!” Su Qinghe said with a smile.
"I hope you won't make me feel that saving you was a worthless thing!"
Under Su Qinghe's gaze, Baili Honglan's smile froze on her face.
This person is so...unreasonable!
"Then 1,000 taels?" she asked tentatively.
"You said your family was very rich!" Su Qinghe still smiled.
“I…” Baili Honglan said with a crestfallen face.
"Just because my family is rich doesn't mean I'm rich!" she said through gritted teeth.
"Two thousand taels at most! I can't afford any more than that!"
Looking at her nonchalant expression, Su Qinghe believed this was her limit.
"Okay! When will you give it to me?" she asked, nodding.
She thought this guy was super rich! Turns out he's just someone who relies on his parents' wealth! He hasn't even achieved financial freedom yet!
Seeing that she was finally satisfied, Baili Honglan breathed a sigh of relief; she really couldn't have taken any more.
"I'm out and about and I don't have that much money on me! Can I wait a few days? I need to go to the money exchange to withdraw it."
"Okay! Let's go! Let's eat!"
Looking at the big, clumsy guy in front of her, Su Qinghe readily agreed, not afraid that he would run away.
Inside, the dining table was already set with food. Three men were already seated and waiting.
With all the husbands present, Baili Honglan felt a little awkward. She simply said goodbye to Su Qinghe, prepared some dishes, and went back to her room.
Seeing the person disappear around the corner, Lin Xi immediately relaxed, moved closer to Su Qinghe, and said with a smile:
"My lady! According to the schedule, the clothes we ordered some time ago should be ready by now. Brother Yuan, Brother Yu, and I are going to pick them up later. Would you like to come along?"
Clothes? If Lin Xi hadn't mentioned it, she would have completely forgotten about it!
"I'm afraid that won't work. They're sending ingredients over today, so I have to stay at the restaurant," Su Qinghe said helplessly.
"Okay!" Lin Xi said, somewhat disappointed.
He enjoys the feeling of shopping together as a family.
