Is this girl targeting someone?
At this moment, Tu Nian wanted to tell Miss Hong that he was not a man, but he was afraid that she would kill him in a fit of excitement, so he could only speak kindly: "Miss, please don't be angry. I have something that I would like you to take a look at. If you still have doubts after you have taken a look, we can talk about it later."
Miss Hong sighed softly, without losing any strength in her hands. "You are trying to fool people with such nonsense. Young Master, you really underestimate me."
Tu Nian expected that she would not believe him, so he immediately said, "Miss, why don't you check if there is anything missing from your body first? It's not too late to say this later."
What she said was very sincere. No matter how suspicious Miss Hong was, she could only take a quick look and then reach out to touch it.
She checked everything along the way and found nothing wrong until she touched her waist. She suddenly paused and then looked over in panic. At this time, Tu Nian slowly raised her right hand and showed the safety locket that she had been holding all the way.
"Is this what you're looking for, girl?"
Seeing the peace locket in her hand, the expression on Red Girl's face changed instantly. She didn't even care about the dagger for a moment, and quickly reached forward with both hands to grab it.
At the same time, Chu Qiurong seized the opportunity, pulled Tu Nian over, and after making sure that she was fine, she stepped in front of her to protect her.
Miss Hong was completely satisfied with the peace locket, and had no time to care about anything else. After carefully confirming that it was not damaged, she frowned and looked anxiously at the two people. Her eyes passed Chu Qiurong in front of her and pointed directly at Tu Nian, "How did it get into your hands?"
Leaning on Chu Qiurong's arms, Tu Nian rested his weak legs and muttered weakly, "We bumped into each other on the long street and knocked it off."
“How could it be!”
Miss Hong was very surprised when she heard that. Tu Nian saw her like that and quickly stopped her, "Miss, please don't say 'how could it be'. This is how it is. If there is any problem, it must be your own problem."
"I was just being kind-hearted. Seeing that this jade was of excellent quality and didn't look like an ordinary item, I eagerly gave it to the girl. I never thought that you would bully me. Now I'm almost dying of anger."
Tu Nian, feeling aggrieved, spoke with exceptional vividness. Miss Hong's ears burned at her words, and she quickly bowed and saluted the two men, saying, "This is all my fault. I've been out for so long, and it's inevitable that I'll be suspicious. I caused you two to misunderstand me. I apologize to you both."
Chu Qiurong felt sorry for Tu Nian who had been hit inexplicably, and was even more angry than she herself. He supported the man with one hand, and with the other hand, he drew his sword and pointed it at Miss Hong, saying coldly, "Can you afford to make amends for your mistakes with just a few words?"
Hearing the implication of his words, Miss Hong glanced at the conspicuous red mark on Tu Nian's neck and felt even more guilty. However, she naturally would not agree to be killed by hitting her neck on the sword blade.
"Or..."
After hesitating for a moment, she pursed her lips and looked at the two of them. "If you two gentlemen don't mind, you can stay at Yicui Tower for one night. I'll order two delicious dishes for you and then personally pour you two some wine to apologize."
Tu Nian was most reluctant to see the beauty suffer injustice. Seeing that the girl was about to cry, her second senior brother was about to speak, but immediately twisted her waist.
A certain second-grade brother was caught off guard and failed in an instant. He managed to hold back and avoid making a fool of himself. After recovering, he looked at his off-kilter junior sister in disbelief. The latter coughed awkwardly and patted his arm earnestly.
"Brother, as the saying goes, there's nothing better than admitting one's mistakes and correcting them. This beautiful girl has offered us all the finest wine, delicious food, and a room to apologize to us. If you and I don't give her face, wouldn't that be incredibly rude?"
"Junior Sister, you..."
Chu Qiurong was numb.
So after all this time, the girl admitted her mistake and corrected it, and his junior sister showed sympathy for her, but he became the heartless one who bullied the weak, right?
The more he thought about it, the more he laughed in anger. He bent his eyes and sent her a message, "Just wait and see, little apprentice sister. When you learn how to be nice, don't complain."
"cough."
Tu Nian pretended not to hear his sarcastic tone, and smiled to Miss Hong, saying, "Then please trouble Miss Hong to lead the way. I'm sorry to bother you tonight."
The red girl's face lit up with joy, and she nodded quickly, then turned around, her slender figure swaying in front.
"You two, please follow me."
The voice is so sweet and melodious that anyone who hears it will feel melted.
Walking on the long street again, I didn't know what was wrong. There were fewer people, and there were some scattered soldiers patrolling on the road.
Suddenly, he saw the officers and soldiers surrounding a man on the road, holding a portrait in their hands, as if interrogating him about something. Tu Nian turned his eyes away in accordance with the principle of not interfering, but happened to see the vigilance on Hong Girl's face.
"Who are you looking for?"
When she spoke suddenly, Red Girl was startled, but after she recovered, she smiled and looked at her. "This town is not very peaceful, and it is common for soldiers to look for people. In the end, it has nothing to do with us."
Although she said it lightly, Tu Nian could tell that she was deliberately hiding something.
Tu Nian didn't ask any further questions. Instead, he exchanged a glance with Chu Qiurong and chatted with her casually, "Come to think of it, people call you Miss Hong. Is it because your real name contains the word 'red'?"
Miss Hong shook her head. "My real name is Chi Chi. But because I wore a red dress when I entered Yicui Tower, the brothel owner gave me the name Hong Shuang. Then, as people kept calling me that, it became Miss Hong."
"Bright and fierce?"
Tu Nian had never heard of a name based on a color, and found it strange. "Isn't it also red?"
Xu Chi smiled and said, "Yeah, I thought it was a coincidence, so I just let them call me that."
Hearing her being so open-minded, Tu Nian couldn't help but feel emotional.
The Misty Rain Pavilion has always accepted disciples regardless of their talents. There is only one thing: once you enter the Misty Rain Pavilion, you will not be able to resign like other sects, but must serve the sect until death.
Therefore, most of those who were born in Yanyu Pavilion have unknown life stories. Seeing what happened to Xu Chi now, it is probably the same.
After sorting out his thoughts, Tu Nian asked her some practical questions, "By the way, you were chased out by the people in Yicui Tower. Now that they are gone, won't you get into trouble if you go back alone?"
"I'm not afraid. The brothel owner sent people to arrest me because she wanted me to go back. In other words, as long as I go back, the lives of those people will not be within her consideration."
Xu Chi winked at her and said, "Besides, there are countless people in this town who are interested in me. Sometimes they would kill people just to see me. The brothel owner is very smart. She can just find someone to rely on. She can't bear to give up my cash cow."
By this time, they were almost at Yicui Tower. Xie Chi motioned for them to stop for a moment and said, "Please wait a moment. I'll go in and take a look around. I'll come out to meet you when I'm ready."
Tu Nian nodded, indicating that she should go first.
After watching Xu Chi leave, Chu Qiurong slowly walked to Tu Nian's side and whispered, "It's said that someone is missing, from the Gong family."
The Gong family...
Tu Nian's eyes paused and he looked in the direction where Xu Chi left.
