A large group of people left the brothel and headed towards the Chenggui Pavilion branch.
Zhou Cheng didn't notice that in the corner leading to the backyard, a bloodied and mangled figure was staring at him. Lin Jiaoyun opened her mouth to call out to Zhou Cheng, but found that no sound came out.
Her voice was hoarse from the poison, and her body was covered in branding marks—the consequences of being punished for seducing Zhou Cheng!
Lin Jiaoyun reached out in anguish, trying to crawl out, wanting to follow Zhou Cheng and escape this terrible place.
Until Zhou Cheng disappeared from sight.
The last glimmer of light in Lin Jiaoyun's eyes was extinguished.
"You dare to run! I'll kill you, you little whore!" A rough male voice came from behind, and then Lin Jiaoyun, who was tortured and covered in blood, was dragged back by a large hand.
The two were only a hundred meters apart, but Lin Jiaoyun knew all too well that she and Zhou Cheng would never see each other again.
She would be trapped in this place endlessly, not knowing when she would die, living a life worse than death every day. If she had known this would be her fate, she would have preferred... she would have preferred to stay with the Qin family...
Young Master Qin actually treated her quite well; he would cling to her every night, but at least he cherished her and treated her like a precious jewel. But what about the people here? They would pervertedly abuse her, beat her, and humiliate her.
She missed Zhou Cheng and Young Master Qin.
pity.
There was no hindsight.
By the time she realized what was happening, it was too late.
-
Zhou Cheng was unaware of what was happening behind him, and even if he had known, he wouldn't have cared. As soon as he and Black Rat stepped out of the brothel's main entrance, they bumped into Black Horse, who was rushing over while clutching his head.
Upon seeing Zhou Cheng, Hei Ma knelt on the ground in grief and shame: "Young Master!"
"What's wrong?" Zhou Cheng's brow twitched.
“Miss Ziyan…” Black Horse cried out in anguish, “Miss Ziyan is a traitor! Miss Cheng is no weak woman at all; she knocked our men unconscious with a single palm strike!”
"And she even hangs out with people from Cheng Gui Ge!"
"That Chengyan, yes, that Chengyan was so respectful to her. I've been wondering before, how come Chengyan and Ziyan's names sound like they come from the same family? I never expected they were actually in cahoots!"
"Miss Cheng is a fraud too! She set a trap for us! Taking advantage of my trust in her, she betrayed me, and they even stole those five hundred grenades!"
"Young master, I deserve to die..."
Thinking it was something serious, Zhou Cheng felt relieved.
Back in the side room, Cheng Xianyi had mentioned that she needed a lot of hand grenades. She and Ziyan personally went to help, with the assistance of people from Chenggui Pavilion, and Heima and others had unconditional trust in Cheng Xianyi.
Losing a grenade at such a critical moment is perfectly normal.
Zhou Cheng glanced at the bump on Heima's head and wondered if his fiancée had used such force. Could a single slap have caused such damage to Heima? He had never noticed before.
"Young master, what are you looking at? Do you think your subordinate is too useless...?"
Zhou Cheng paused, his eyes filled with sympathy and a touch of melancholy: "No, it's just that you have a big bump on your head. I was wondering if it would hurt her with her delicate skin."
The dark horse was stunned: "???"
“I know about the grenade incident. She has her own plans, so don’t blame yourself too much.” At this point, Zhou Cheng patted Black Horse on the shoulder: “It’s a good thing you’re easily fooled, otherwise it would have been Black Rat instead.”
"He's the one who ruined this."
"Let's go to the Chenggui Pavilion branch and wait for her."
Black Horse and the others followed Zhou Cheng in complete bewilderment, and even after entering the main courtyard of Cheng Gui Pavilion, they still did not know what had happened.
How did Miss Cheng, who was once so weak and powerless, suddenly become skilled in martial arts? How did Cheng Yan become so respectful to Miss Cheng? And why did the young master remain silent after losing five hundred grenades?
Similarly.
The members of Cheng Gui Ge were also on tenterhooks.
Seeing Young Master Zhou walk in with an unfriendly expression, he abandoned his usual politeness and sat down in the main seat without saying a word, refusing to answer any questions and only saying that he would wait for Cheng Xianyi to return.
In that instant, everyone's heads exploded!
The Pavilion Master's identity has been exposed!
Oh no!
"Where is the Pavilion Master now?" the members asked in hushed tones, sweating profusely.
"It seems they successfully hijacked Young Master Zhou's five hundred grenades and are currently delivering them to Zhou Qianyan. If nothing unexpected happens, Zhou Qianyan will take these grenades to Nanyue Academy."
"Latest intelligence: the western, northern, and southern parts of the Central Plains have learned about the weapon and are gathering in the eastern direction to investigate. It seems they know about the plans of the eastern academy and want to interfere."
"Breaking news! The Master has been born, and the Pavilion Master is traveling to the East with Zhou Qianyan!"
