Chapter 114 Despicable
Gongzi Mingyue thought maliciously, "Sure enough, not everyone can be a bad guy. If he were in that role, he could scheme to turn everyone against each other, and even if they knew the truth, they would never be able to reconcile. Unlike this time, it was too naive and had no deterrent effect whatsoever."
Hmm, that's not right either. Young Master Mingyue noticed something, sat up straight, and looked at Lu Xiaofeng. "Lu Xiaofeng, are you saying that thief is your friend, right?"
“Yes.” Lu Xiaofeng nodded. “Sikong Zhaixing is indeed my friend.” Not that he counts, but he has always been a friend. It’s just that, cough cough, his friend is a bit special.
“That makes sense.” Gongzi Mingyue smiled. “It’s not necessarily that the person behind it was too kind to let you go. It’s possible that Sikong Zhaixing went easy on you. He’s your friend, so he must know what Hua Manlou means to you. It’s quite possible that he showed mercy.”
He couldn't help but think that if it were someone else, they might have really tortured Zhu Xi beyond recognition before throwing her onto Hua Manlou's bed. Tsk tsk tsk, in that case, the feud between the Zhu family and the Hua family would be much greater.
Whether they sensed the implication in Gongzi Mingyue's words or not, Master Zhu and the eldest son of the Hua family couldn't help but shiver, while Hua Manlou frowned in disgust.
Zhu Xi, however, showed little fear. "Apart from life and death, nothing else matters. As long as I don't die, I can live." She never cared about chastity or purity. Those were things that men forced upon women, and she didn't care about them at all.
Of course, this doesn't mean Zhu Xi is willing to endure pain. Her indifference and her willingness are two different things. Moreover, her understanding and her desire for revenge are also two different things. She looked at Ling Hao, "Miss Ling, I've come to ask for your help in capturing Sikong Zhaixing. By the way, I can offer a reward of ten thousand taels of gold."
Ling Hao, who had already decided to help, immediately lit up when she heard about the ten thousand taels of gold. However, she quickly shook her head, "No need, I'll help you this time." Her eyes were full of admiration as she looked at Zhu Xi, "Fifth Miss, you are a very resilient person."
Despite growing up in a life of luxury and comfort, she possesses a tenacity and vitality like wild grass, making her truly hard not to like. Because of this liking, Ling Hao was willing to lend a hand. Ahem, of course, her slight attraction to gold earlier was perfectly normal, just human nature.
"But I..."
“Just remember what my Ah Hao said,” Gongzi Mingyue interrupted Zhu Xi. “If Ah Hao says she’s willing to help you, then she’s willing to help. Don’t make so many excuses.” He felt a pang of sadness and discomfort.
"Hmph, this guy is so annoying, making Ah Hao look at him with such admiration. Damn it, he wants Ah Hao to look at him like that too. No, he actually wants all of Ah Hao's gaze to belong to him." Gongzi Mingyue thought bitterly.
Zhu Xi met Gongzi Mingyue's gaze and seemed to see something hidden in his eyes. She hadn't felt afraid when facing the potential danger earlier, but now, meeting Gongzi Mingyue's eyes, she felt a chill.
Her intuition told her that this man was extremely dangerous, far more dangerous than any of the notorious bandits or scoundrels she had encountered before. Zhu Xi instinctively wanted to warn Ling Hao to be careful of him, but then she remembered that they were friends, and Ling Hao might already know about this.
Zhu Xi turned her gaze to Ling Hao.
Ling Hao seemed to understand Zhu Xi's thoughts. She looked at him reassuringly and said, "I'm sorry, Mingyue was a bit impulsive. But don't worry, I'm watching him." She really is a very perceptive person.
Thinking this, Linghao looked at Gongzi Mingyue again, "Mingyue."
"Oh," Young Master Mingyue obediently replied. He only thought about it; he didn't actually do it.
At that moment, he suddenly realized something: Ah Hao knew about his wicked intentions. She knew he wasn't a good person and could harbor ill intentions at any moment, yet she hadn't distanced herself from him. Thinking of this, Gongzi Mingyue's gaze towards Ling Hao shone brightly, more dazzling than the sunlight.
Ling smiled and stuffed a fruit into Gongzi Mingyue's hand.
Young Master Mingyue held the fruit and sat obediently, no longer showing the danger in his eyes as before.
Zhu Xi was dumbfounded. Could that really be done? She looked at Ling Hao with immense admiration. "Miss Ling, you're amazing!" To be able to subdue such a dangerous person was truly incredible. Sigh, she couldn't do that. She wasn't planning on finding a partner now, and even if she were to leave in the future, she'd need to find someone she could be sure of.
She's destined to lead the Zhu family to glory, so she doesn't have much time to focus on domestic affairs. Therefore, it's more appropriate for her to choose a man she can easily control.
Ling Hao strangely understood Zhu Xi's thoughts, and said somewhat awkwardly, "Mingyue and I are friends." Her relationship with Mingyue was completely innocent, but her relationship with Ayu wasn't so innocent. And then Mingyue and Ayu shared one body... this relationship seems a bit complicated?
“Yes, Ah Hao and I are friends.” Gongzi Mingyue smiled broadly. “We are best friends. No one can compare to my place in Ah Hao’s heart.”
If we're talking about friends, and in this world, then that's certainly true. Ling Hao nodded.
Young Master Mingyue was even happier, his smile brighter than a rare pearl.
The people present: "..."
Something seems off? But I can't quite put my finger on what it is. It feels so eerie.
Lu Xiaofeng: "???"
Could it be? This young master Mingyue clearly likes Linghao, and not just as a friend. He was absolutely certain; he could swear on his years of experience navigating the dating scene. But now, something seems off?
His intuition couldn't be wrong. Lu Xiaofeng looked left and right, feeling like his brain was about to break down.
"Ahem." Ling Hao coughed lightly twice. "You caught Sikong Zhaixing, didn't you? It's easy, leave it to me." Something felt off, so she decided to steer the conversation back on track.
"Well, then I'll leave it to you." Lu Xiaofeng decided to put his mind at ease for now. "By the way, please be merciful to Sikong Zhaixing. Well, just keep him alive." He thought of Ling Hao's achievements in the capital these past few days and had to give her one more word of advice.
He worried that if he saw Sikong Zhaixing again, he would also lose his manhood. If that happened, he would be in a terrible situation. If Lu Xiaofeng didn't know that Sikong Zhaixing was currently trying to avoid him the most, and that catching him would be extremely difficult, he really wanted to do it himself.
Sigh, he's really worked hard for his friends. Lu Xiaofeng thought to himself.
"I know, don't worry." Ling Hao didn't realize the true meaning behind Lu Xiaofeng's instructions. "I won't let Sikong Zhaixing lose his hands or feet." Knowing how to handle things was not a problem for her.
"Ahem." Lu Xiaofeng coughed awkwardly twice. "Actually, it would be best if other parts of the body, besides the hands and feet, were also not broken."
Ling Hao was puzzled for a moment; she felt she couldn't keep up with Lu Xiaofeng's thought process.
Zhu Xi, standing to the side, said with a smile, "Lu Xiaofeng means that Sikong Zhaixing should be a complete man, and his third leg should not be broken." However, once she catches him, she is determined to make Sikong Zhaixing pay.
She certainly wouldn't touch his third leg, but she was absolutely determined to get revenge for him tearing off her outer garment!
Lu Xiaofeng nodded silently. Yes, that was exactly what he meant.
Ling Hao looked at Lu Xiaofeng with a complicated expression. "I'm not into cutting off people's manhood. How could I just cut it off for anyone? You're overthinking it." She did it because some people deserved it, not because of her hobby.
"Cough cough cough..." Lu Xiaofeng coughed several times in embarrassment. "Actually, I'm not the only one who says that."
"What do you mean?" Linghao suddenly felt something was wrong. "You're not just talking about yourself, who else is involved?"
"A lot, a lot." Lu Xiaofeng smiled wryly, clearly not wanting to go into details.
Ling Hao immediately turned to look at Hua Manlou, "Young Master Hua, I think you should know this."
Hua Manlou was also somewhat embarrassed, "Some people in the martial arts world say that, and Lu Xiaofeng and I overheard it by chance. This rumor isn't out in the open."
Ling Hao immediately understood. It wasn't public knowledge; only a select few were talking about it, which was why A Yu's people didn't know about it. "Heh," she chuckled coldly, "those who spread the word better never let me run into them again."
She touched the broken snow, her sword intent emanating from her.
Everyone present couldn't help but lean back slightly; the sword intent was truly astonishing.
Young Master Mingyue narrowed his eyes slightly. It seemed the martial world was still too quiet. Heh, he'd find them something to do, then they wouldn't be so bored as to spread gossip about others.
In the stillness of the night, in a secluded spot in Kyoto, Sikong Zhaixing lay on the rooftop, gazing at the moon in the night sky, and then sighed. "This is terrible. I didn't expect Lu Xiaofeng to have switched rooms with Hua Manlou. That Lu Xiaofeng must have taken over Hua Manlou's room again. He's happy, but I'm the one who's in trouble."
Not only did he show mercy to Zhu Xi, but he also mistook her for someone else. Now he can only hide and dares not go anywhere. Because whether it's those people or Lu Xiaofeng, he's a sinner. He's really going to die. How did he end up like this?
Sikong Zhaixing let out a small wail, then turned over, intending to take a nap first. Although sleeping on the roof was a bit cold, it was still better than sleeping in the room and potentially getting killed at any moment.
But as soon as he turned over, he froze.
Because Sikong Zhaixing saw someone just three steps away from him. How could he have not sensed them at all at such a close distance? The opponent's martial arts skills were far superior to his own; if they fought, he would only lose.
Having made up his mind, Sikong Zhaixing took flight and fled in the next instant. His movements were swift, leaving only a fleeting afterimage.
He was fast, but his opponent was even faster.
