It's not embarrassing to catch the wrong person, it's embarrassing not to catch him
Fan You said with a smile, "Because you're strong!" But what he was actually thinking was, "Because you're Miss Linghu, you can find out the news by just checking!"
"Oh, you can go now, don't disturb my rest!"
“…”
The next morning, Linghu Luoxi went to find Chi An and the others with great enthusiasm, and brought Shangguan Yi and the others down the mountain.
"You're such a jerk! You woke me up so early in the morning!"
"A year's plan starts with spring, and a day's plan starts with the morning! Time is money, and money can't buy time! Time is long, and life is short. Now is the time to improve your cultivation and broaden your horizons!" Shangguan Yi expressed his emotions.
"...Since you said so, then you should get up early tomorrow to practice!" Chi An said calmly.
Shangguan Yi's face changed instantly, "Forget it! By the way! I was almost assassinated last night, but luckily there was a beauty who was so beautiful that she could make fish sink to the bottom of the water, geese fall to the ground, and the moon hide in shame on the flowers. She had fair skin and spoke a little mentally retarded, but her cultivation was in the middle stage of the Golden Core, which shocked me for 100 years. His name seemed to be 'Wuyuan', and he has now become my servant," Shangguan Yi said proudly.
"You really... leave me speechless."
"Stop arguing! I'll take you there and you'll know!"
While they were talking, Linghu Luoxi had already brought them to the Red Dust Tower. The walls outside the courtyard were covered in red lanterns, lit by candlelight. The carved gates in front of the building were wide open, welcoming guests like clouds, and the atmosphere was bustling.
Linghu Luoxi and the other two walked into Hongchen Tower and looked around. The building was luxurious yet monotonous. The red silk hanging from the beams fluttered in the wind. A group of dancers were singing and dancing on the stage, and people were coming and going around.
While they were stunned, a girl dressed in gorgeous clothes came to greet them warmly. Linghu Luoxi took out a bag of silver from his sleeve and threw 8,000 silver to the girl. The girl smiled happily and immediately took the three of them to the "Tianzi Yipinfang".
The three of them sat down. Linghu Luoxi knocked on the table and said in a calm tone, "Go get some good wine and good food!"
"Okay!"
After the food was served, Linghu Luoxi and the other two started to eat. Seeing that it was a long order, the girl immediately took the initiative to speak.
"My dear gentlemen, would you like us to entertain you? Each of the beauties here has her own merits and unique charm!" The girl said with a smile, covering her mouth with a handkerchief.
"Well, choose the one who looks good! Preferably one wearing red." Linghu Luoxi took a glance and said.
The girl was a little embarrassed, so Linghu Luoxi took out another silver ingot. The girl took the silver with great joy, took a bite, and seeing that it was real silver, she immediately called over 12 beauties.
Beauties came up in a crowd. Shangguan Yi and Chi An were served by beauties on both sides, but no one served Linghu Luoxi. "...Why did no one come to serve me after I paid?" Linghu Luoxi asked condescendingly.
"Uh...this..." The girl was a little embarrassed.
Some people wanted to entertain her, but were afraid that if they touched Miss Linghu, the Linghu family would kill all nine generations of their clan.
Linghu Luoxi stood up and said, "I'll go find it myself!"
The girl couldn't find any fault with it, so she just let it go. She turned around and bowed, "Then I won't disturb your leisure time."
Linghu Luoxi walked out of the private room and as she was going down the stairs, she saw a young man in red clothes, with a charming appearance and wearing white long shoes. There was a mole under his peach blossom eyes, and the young man was holding a red folding fan with his slender fingers at the stairs.
Linghu Luoxi was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, and was about to chop with a knife, but the young man noticed it and immediately dodged to the side.
Seeing that he had some skills, Linghu Luoxi became even more suspicious and took advantage of the boy's unpreparedness to throw him over his shoulder. The boy rolled over to avoid it, and as soon as he landed, Linghu Luoxi knocked him unconscious from behind and then carried him back.
Chi An and the others saw Linghu Luoxi carrying a young boy back, and their faces were filled with shock.
"Um...are you thinking of being the top?"
"Damn it! He forced himself on me! My opinion of you is shocked!" Shangguan Yi blurted out in astonishment.
"Damn it! I'm here to arrest someone! I'm not really here to enjoy myself! What are you thinking about every day?!" Linghu Luoxi kicked over and said angrily.
Chi An still believed it, "Oh~ Who told you to bring back such a good-looking boy? After all, anyone who saw you would think you two were going to..."
"Yes, yes, yes! Why did you arrest him?" Shangguan Yi echoed Chi An's words and asked.
"The Sect Master said someone stole the Dragon Clan's treasure—the Dragon Ball! Then I found out he seemed to be in Hongchen Tower, and was wearing red clothes and all!"
"It's too hasty to conclude that he is the murderer just because he is wearing red clothes. After all, there are many young men wearing red clothes. How can we conclude that he is the thief who stole the Dragon Ball?" Chi An asked reasonably.
Ruoruo, who was playing music nearby, took a quick glance and saw the person in Linghu Luoxi's arms. Her pupils shrank slightly, and she suddenly drew her sword and stabbed at Chi An and the others.
Chi An's eyes flashed, and he drew out the Canbing Sword to block Linghu Luoxi and deal with Ruoruo.
The young man in Linghu Luoxi's arms gradually regained consciousness, and Ruoruo breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing him distracted, Chi An quickly snatched the sword from his hand and slapped Ruoruo in the chest.
A dragon ball flew out of Ruoruo's mouth, rolling twice on the ground, its surface still sticky. The young man was startled, and stepped out of Linghu Luoxi's arms, protecting Ruoruo behind him. "What's the misunderstanding? Why did you suddenly attack my men?"
Shangguan Yi was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses, "He stole our Dragon Ball!"
Hearing this, the young man turned to look at Ruoruo behind him, "Is this true?"
Ruoruo didn't answer, but lowered her head.
The young man frowned, "Give it back to them!" Seeing that Ruoruo didn't move, "Don't make me say it again!"
Ruoruo threw the dragon ball to Chi An, and Linghu Luoxi and the other two said in disgust in unison, "Huh~ How disgusting!" The boy turned his head and looked at the three of them again.
"I am Mu Xue, the owner of Hongchen Tower. He is my subordinate. I failed to manage him well. I apologize to you!"
Chi An clasped his fists and said, "It's okay, it's okay! We are the ones who have caused you trouble! But... we must take this person back for interrogation. I hope the host will..."
"Sorry! I can't agree to this!"
"In that case, then don't take it back!"
Mu Xue was stunned when she heard this. She thought she was going to say something more, but she didn't expect it to be so simple. Chi An looked at Linghu Luoxi doubtfully, as if he suspected that Linghu Luoxi was intoxicated by her beauty.
Mu Xue cupped her fists and smiled, "Thank you very much! I'm sorry to bother you all, but I'll treat you to this table!"
Although Chi An was doubtful, he still chose to believe Linghu Luoxi. Chi An politely returned the greeting, "Thank you very much!"
"Wow, what a great philanthropist!" Shangguan Yi gave Mu Xue a thumbs up.
"Yeah, it would be nice if I could treat you every time!"
"That won't do! If I have to treat you every time, how can I do business?" Mu Xue said with a folding fan covering her smile.
"Yes, indeed! I think you won't mind if I want to come to your place in the future!" Linghu Luoxi raised her eyebrows!
“You’re always welcome!”
"Okay, come and eat! It's going to get cold if you don't!"
After dinner, Linghu Luoxi stood up and was about to leave when Mu Xue stopped her and asked, "Please stay! Miss Linghu, I want to talk to you alone!"
Linghu Luoxi was stunned, puzzled: "How did he know my identity? Why did he leave me alone?"
Mu Xue brought Linghu Luoxi to a room to talk. After the conversation, Shangguan Yi and the other two were puzzled by what they said. Linghu Luoxi pretended to be profound and said, "The secret of heaven cannot be revealed."
Chi An and the other two returned to the sect on their swords. Upon arrival, they were all lectured. The Tongjian Sect's leader had allowed Shangguan Yishao to interact with Linghu Luoxi, and the Liyue Sect's leader had similarly allowed Chi Anshao to interact with Linghu Luoxi. The other disciples were also warned.
When Linghu Luoxi was drinking tea in the courtyard, Lin Junming, the third direct disciple of Hanqing Sect, slowly approached Linghu Luoxi.
"Junior sister, where have you been? Why did I hear that you were ostracized?" Lin Junming asked.
"Wrong! Third Senior Brother, they didn't exclude me, I excluded them!" Linghu Luoxi said arrogantly.
"Uh... Junior Sister, you are so optimistic!"
"Of course! Okay! I have something else to do right now, let's talk after I finish it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Linghu Luoxi stood up and left. Lin Junming looked at Linghu Luoxi's back and shook his head with a smile. Linghu Luoxi arrived at Qiushui Sect, where Liu Zhiyu had been waiting for him for a long time. Linghu Luoxi looked Liu Zhiyu, the son of the Dragon Clan, up and down, and then threw the dragon ball to him again.
Liu Zhiyu took the dragon ball and asked calmly, "How many spirit stones do you want?"
Linghu Luoxi didn't waste any words and said bluntly, "9,000 spirit stones!"
Liu Zhiyu's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but exclaimed, "Are you crazy?! Why don't you just go and rob the 9,000!"
"Are you going to give it to me or not?" Linghu Luoxi opened her hands and said with a smile.
Liu Zhiyu gritted his teeth in hatred and gave the money with tears in his eyes. Linghu Luoxi happily accepted the money and said, "I'll leave if it's okay! If something like this happens again in the future, remember to call me more often!"
Although Shangguan Yi and Linghu Luoxi's families are both wealthy enough to rival a country, they just like it this way. They are afraid of being poor and have developed it into a habit.
Seeing that it was getting late, everyone went back to rest.
Outside the window, the moon cast its shadow across the ground, birch trees swayed, and the night breeze caressed the bamboo trees, swaying in the breeze. The moon climbed above the treetops, emitting a bright light that coated the earth with a layer of silver. The night was warm, and the dark sky was dotted with stars, adding a touch of vitality to the silent night.
Shangguan Yi fell asleep as soon as he came back. Wu Yuan smelled the faint scent of wine and rouge and powder as soon as he entered the room.
Wu Yuan frowned and looked around. He found Shangguan Yi, who was already drunk. He raised an eyebrow and looked him up and down. "As the eldest son of the Shangguan family, he is actually a playboy? This is getting more and more interesting..."
Shangguan Yi was still muttering, "One more cup..."
Wu Yuan shook his head helplessly and settled Wu Yuan down. Shangguan Yi grabbed Wu Yuan's hand in a daze, "Don't... don't go..."
Wu Yuan was stunned for a moment, then looked down. Shangguan Yi was curled up, rubbing against Wu Yuan's palm like a kitten. Wu Yuan squatted down as if possessed by a ghost, and said in a low voice, "Okay, I won't leave..."
