After getting out of the car, the two walked up to the second floor together, but Fu Xiao suddenly stopped and his gaze fell on a similar black Jeep.
Is it a coincidence?
He remembered that the woman got into a car like that at the airport that day. Could she be someone from one of those forces?
Fu Xu pushed open the door, and Fu Xiao stared coldly at the people inside. Because he was the last to arrive, all the seats except the one in the middle were already occupied.
The moment the door opened, Xu Nuo looked up and their eyes met, but neither of them spoke first.
Her hand, which was under the table, suddenly twitched. Why was Fu Xiao here?
"Master Xiao, please have a seat here." Lin Tianpeng, the organizer of this meeting, smiled and pulled out the chair next to Xu Nuo.
Fu Xiao walked slowly, but his gaze never left Xu Nuo. It seemed that none of the women who approached him were sincere.
Whether it's her or Xingchu, they're just using each other.
He sat down in the chair, withdrawing his piercing gaze, but his mood gradually became heavy.
Seeing Fu Xiao's gloomy face, Xu Nuo was so nervous that her throat felt like it was on fire, and her palms started sweating uncontrollably.
He must know that I deliberately approached him, which is why he's so cold.
But there was nothing she could do. Besides, she hadn't hurt him; at most, she had malicious intentions but failed.
Why did he have such a hateful expression?
Lin Tianpeng stood up, his voice rising a few decibels, "I invited everyone here today to discuss matters concerning Qingfeng Hall. What are your thoughts?"
"Qingfengtang's behavior these past few days has been too arrogant; we absolutely cannot let it continue."
The first person to speak was Wang Hao of the Liuxin faction, because the people of Qingfengtang had injured more than ten of his men, so he had been holding a grudge ever since.
“That’s right. If it continues to grow stronger, all of us will have no choice but to go back to the countryside and farm.” Tang Yao of Hanyue Hall shared the same thought.
Lin Tianpeng nodded in agreement, then turned his gaze to Fu Xiao, who looked sullen, and Xu Nuo, who looked embarrassed.
Xu Nuo realized his intention and hurriedly waved her hand guiltily, signaling him not to call out her name, but it was too late.
"I wonder what Hall Master Xiao and Hall Master Xu think?"
As everyone knows, Xu Tangzhu is in charge of coordinating all matters within the Chenxing Alliance, while Beidou is responsible for assassinations.
So he directly questioned Xu Nuo, which completely exposed her true identity.
"Master Xu?"
Fu Xiao chuckled, but his eyes were fixed on the teacup in front of him. Damn woman, she really made him run around in circles.
That night, when Chen Hao molested her, it was probably all her doing. It's a huge joke that the dignified Master Xu of the Shenxing Alliance would need someone else to save him.
The questioning "Master Xu" had already thrown Xu Nuo off balance and exposed his identity.
Will he listen to her explanation?
Regardless, let's give it a try. After all, he's my savior, and we need to cooperate right now. There's no need to fall out with him.
"Um, Fu Xiao, if I said that night really was an accident, would you believe me?"
He smiled coldly, not wanting to reply at all. Xu Nuo could only try again, reaching out to gently tug at his clothes.
"I'm serious, I swear it was really an accident."
"Master Xu, there's no need to explain. I don't care." He pulled back the corner of his clothes, as if he were disgusted.
Seeing the disgust in his eyes, an indescribable anxiety quietly spread through her heart. Was he angry, or did he really despise her that much?
"Master Xiao, I'll say it one last time: that night was an accident. Believe it or not, it's up to you." She wasn't one to give in to others' misfortunes; if she didn't believe it, so be it.
The straightforward Beidou hadn't figured out the facts yet. He only heard the words "that night" and assumed that Fu Xiao had done something to Xu Nuo, which immediately made him angry.
"Should I kill him?" He didn't lower his voice, so almost everyone present heard him.
Fu Xu raised his hand to his chest, his eating utensils, always on guard against Bei Dou. He had witnessed Bei Dou's strength, so he believed that Bei Dou was truly capable of killing his boss.
Xu Nuo pressed down on Bei Dou's hand and gently comforted him, "Don't be impulsive. I'm not familiar with Hall Master Xiao, and we've never had anything going on."
Fu Xiao kept his lips tightly shut, growing angrier the more he listened. She actually said she wasn't familiar with him?
She's the one who deliberately clung to me, and now she's the one saying we're not familiar.
An unnamed anger surged in his chest, and a crazy idea surfaced in his mind: he was going to teach this woman a lesson.
"Fu Xu, you handle the rest. Hall Master Xu, come out here for a moment, I have something to say to you."
Xu Nuo remained seated, turning her head away with a faint smile, "I'm sorry, I don't have time today. Please reschedule for another day."
That jerk, does he think he can just summon her and dismiss her at will?
Fu Xiao's patience had long since run out, and he grabbed her hand to lead her out of the private room.
Beidou grabbed Fu Xiao's hand, staring at him with a sinister look in his eyes, "Let go of your hand, or I won't care what kind of hall master you are."
“Beidou, you stay here and discuss the follow-up matters. I’m going out with him for a bit. Don’t worry, he won’t do anything to me.”
No sooner had she finished speaking than Xu Nuo was pulled to the parking lot and shoved into the passenger seat before she could even react.
The black jeep sped away and stopped by a river ten minutes later.
Today happens to be the fifteenth of the lunar month, and the moon is so round and bright that it almost perfectly illuminates the impatient expression on Xu Nuo's face.
"Master Xiao, what brings you here? I have important matters to discuss and don't have time for idle chatter."
Why didn't you say this when you deliberately approached me?
"Okay, I admit I could have deliberately gotten close to you, but I didn't get anything out of it, and you didn't lose anything either. Is it really necessary for a grown man to be so petty?"
When she got tired of standing, she sat down on the grass. Suddenly, she thought the moon was particularly beautiful, so she simply lay down and looked up at the sky.
"It feels like it's been a very, very long time since I've seen the moon like this, it's so beautiful!"
Fu Xiao looked at the unseemly and heartless person on the ground, feeling helpless, but he had no defenses against him at all.
He lay down beside her, gazing at her bright and radiant face; she was indeed beautiful.
"You promised, right?"
She then realized that he didn't seem to know her name before. "Yes, my name is Xu Nuo, Master Xiaotang. It's an honor to meet you."
A slender hand reached out to him. He hesitated for a moment, and just as Xu Nuo was about to pull it back, he grabbed her hand.
"I've wanted to meet you for a long time. It's true that seeing is believing, and I never expected that we would meet under these circumstances."
"I really didn't arrange what happened to Chen Hao that night."
Although she didn't know why, she just wanted to make it clear that she hadn't reached the point of being crazy enough to joke about her innocence.
