Qin Su raised an eyebrow. "How could I trouble you? He's an official of the imperial court; it's best for him to stay away from people in the martial arts world."
Indeed, there is an unwritten rule in the martial arts world: avoid getting involved with people from the imperial court whenever possible. Even assassins might not choose to assassinate government officials.
"Who's afraid? I'm not afraid at all." She spoke with a slight accent from the Sichuan-Chongqing region, which sounded rather cute.
"Seriously, sister, I can kill him for you, no money required. Just take me around to play."
She spoke very sincerely, and Qin Su looked into her big eyes and had no doubt that as long as he agreed, she would do it immediately.
Qin Su shook her head again.
The little girl looked regretful. "Alright, sister, just come to me whenever you need anything. I'm very capable; I guarantee the people in the imperial court won't be able to catch me."
It was a bit of a hassle, but she was willing to do anything for the beautiful lady.
Xue Huai'an trembled slightly, furious.
"Where did you get to know these shady characters? And aren't you afraid that Prince Chen will take action against you, being so close to others?"
Qin Su had one arm around Yu Shuo and the other hand resting on the window. "Do you think Yu Shuo will believe you?"
"Xue Huai'an, instead of causing me trouble, you should think carefully about how to explain why you are in Shacheng instead of Huaizhou. It's fine if you outwardly comply with others but inwardly disobey His Majesty, but you should carefully consider the consequences." Having previously indulged Xue Huai'an's rise to power, he seems to be getting more and more arrogant.
Just then, the auctioneer below shouted loudly, "The Qingfeng Sword will cost eight thousand taels once, and eight thousand taels twice!"
Qin Su yawned and said, "Nine thousand taels."
"Nine thousand five hundred taels!"
Others followed suit.
It seems there are quite a few wealthy people in the black market.
"Ten thousand taels." Qin Su unconsciously stroked the soft fabric around Yu Shuo's waist, lost in thought.
"Ten thousand taels once! Ten thousand taels twice!"
"Two or three times!"
"Congratulations to the guest in private room number 2 for winning the Qingfeng Sword!"
After the items were auctioned off, someone took care of the follow-up matters. Qin Su looked towards room number 5, where the people who had just been bidding were located.
Who is that person inside?
At that moment, there was a knock on the door, and Qin Su gestured for Lian Tao to open it.
"lady."
It is Zhuang Heyu.
He actually delivered the Qingfeng Sword himself.
Chongyang closed the window and then sat down.
"Perfect timing! Any news?"
Zhuang Heyu was beaming, seemingly extremely happy. "There's news! Great news! The Poison Master Luo is here. He's right next door."
Qin Su was stunned for a moment.
Wasn't her next-door neighbor number 3 or 4?
That's right, private room number 1 isn't on this floor; it's probably not open to the public. So the two rooms next to Qin Su's are numbers 3 and 4.
This situation was a bit strange, but since it didn't affect Qin Su, she didn't pay any attention to it.
If it's not Xue Huai'an, then it must be that little girl?
"Is the Poison Master Luo a little girl of thirteen or fourteen?" Or is it that the person has the secret to preserving her youth and is actually older than thirteen or fourteen?
"I don't know about that. She always appears wearing a cloak and a black hood, so no one can tell her identity. But her registered name is 'Poison Master Luo'." He couldn't exactly lift her hood, could he? Of course, it was also because he didn't have the guts.
That's a master of poisons; there's not a single part of his body that isn't poisonous.
Qin Su still found it strange.
She never imagined that the little girl would be the Poison Master Luo. According to Zhuang Heyu and Dengyue Tower, the Poison Master Luo had a reputation in the martial arts world for at least twenty years.
That girl wasn't even twenty years old.
this……
Qin Su rubbed her temples.
“Is it possible that she’s an imposter?” she asked.
Zhuang Heyu shook his head. "Impossible. Rumor has it that the Poison Master Luo Zhi wore a ruby and sterling silver bracelet on his left hand. The carving technique was extremely rare, and only a few areas in Sichuan and Chongqing had such skills, which were almost never passed down to outsiders. Moreover, I have observed that the bracelet does not look new."
"Given Luo Zhishi's skills, no one could get close to her unless she herself was willing. So it must be her."
Qin Su tapped her hand lightly on the table and said, "Then I'll trouble Mr. Zhuang to invite the master of scheming poison over."
Zhuang Heyu nodded repeatedly and immediately went to carry out the task.
Now Xue Huai'an's affairs have to take a backseat.
Xue Huai'an can't cause any major trouble now, but things will be different if Prince Tuoba gets into trouble.
Soon the knocking sounded again, and before the person even entered, Qin Su heard a series of clanging and rattling sounds.
The little girl had a lot of accessories, most of which were silver.
"Did you miss me, sister?" she said with a grin, her two long braids swaying from side to side with her movements.
Yu Shuo held Qin Su's waist, disliking the fact that this person shared the same title as him.
"Please sit down." She patted Yu Shuo's hand, signaling him to relax.
The little girl sat on the stool, still smiling, and asked, "Did you miss me, sister?"
She spoke in a coquettish tone.
Qin Su: "..." We barely know each other, how can I miss you?
But considering she was just a young girl, Qin Su nodded.
"Yes, I miss you."
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt a slight pressure on her hand, and she leaned against Yu Shuo.
"It's my sister who misses me, not you."
A sinister smile appeared on the little girl's face. "Is that so?"
Worried that she might harm Yu Shuo, Qin Su quickly said, "Don't hurt him."
She rested her chin on her hand, clearly displeased with Qin Su's words.
"Sister, men are all unreliable. You'd be better off with me than with him. I promise I'll always be good to you, and whatever you say goes."
Qin Su: "..."
"Madam, the next item up for auction is a snow lotus."
The little girl's eyes lit up immediately, and she ran to the window. She said to Chongyang, "Take a picture, take a picture for me, I'll pay."
Chongyang could only nod.
Only after he agreed did the girl return to her seat.
"Actually, I need to talk to you about something."
The little girl nodded. "You're looking for the Poison Master Luo, aren't you?"
She looked especially cute with her head tilted, but only Yu Shuo knew that the way she looked at him was particularly gloomy and rather sinister.
Qin Su was somewhat surprised that she actually knew.
"Hehe, I heard that a lot of people have been investigating my whereabouts recently, but I don't know exactly who they are. However, I heard that the people investigating me are from Kyoto."
She touched her chin and said, "I didn't want to show up, but my sister is so beautiful, I can't resist."
"Sister, she's so frivolous," Yu Shuo complained.
Qin Su patted his hand to comfort him.
"I've heard that the reputation of the 'Poison Master' has been around for at least twenty years. But you don't look twenty at all."
She nodded. "Yes, if you're looking for the master of poison from twenty years ago, you probably won't find him."
"What's the meaning?"
