Chapter 170 - 118: Iron Miss
Luochun Manor, Chu Qing’s room.
Chu Qing was sitting in front of the table, holding a cup of tea in his hand.
Occasionally, he glanced at the bed, where the girl in embroidered clothing lay.
Her injuries were severe.
Although earlier in the manor, she had demonstrated exceptional martial arts.
Even using only one hand, she could make a group of people search for their teeth on the ground... but this time was different.
The opponent was Flower Beauty.
The Seventy-two Evil Extermination List, anyone walking the martial world is a master in their own right, if willing, could also become a local power.
Chu Qing even suspected that many of these people might already be leaders of some faction.
Hide their identities, join the Mirror of Sin... to experience the life of an assassin.
Of course, mutual benefits are not ruled out.
The Mirror of Sin could use these people’s martial arts to achieve assassination goals.
And they could use the Mirror of Sin’s intelligence network, and various conveniences, to eliminate dissenters.
If the original character had passed the test and continued moving upward... no one knew what kind of path that would be.
"I just didn’t expect that I didn’t go looking for them, they actually appeared in Luochun Manor first.
"Flower Beauty... who did she meet with?"
Chu Qing rotated the teacup in his hand.
An assassin is a lonely profession, hidden in the darkness, even if there are peers, they wouldn’t easily trust each other.
If Flower Beauty came to Luochun Manor to complete an assassination target.
She shouldn’t meet with fellow assassins at this time...
The Mirror of Sin’s assassination plans are made before the action.
Investigating the environment and target information is done by someone else.
Nor is it necessary for the assassin to meet and study methods near the target’s residence.
This greatly increases the risk of exposure.
"Unless, Flower Beauty came here not to assassinate someone...
"But was lured here by someone?"
Chu Qing’s eyes slightly narrowed, the first round of assassins for Gentle, deliberately impersonated the Mirror of Sin.
Could someone be deliberately using this to lure the Mirror of Sin people to Luochun Manor?
Not to provoke a fight between the Mirror of Sin and Luochun Manor... but to reach some kind of consensus with the Mirror of Sin?
Chu Qing gently rubbed his forehead.
He agreed to host this martial arts contest for Wen Fusheng, aside from hoping to find Yulong Laoxian and Mad Beggar Ling Beichen.
It was also somewhat due to Gentle’s reason.
The two of them had developed a deep friendship along the way, knowing Luochun Manor was in trouble, naturally he couldn’t refuse to lend a hand.
But now it seems, this murky water indeed isn’t easy to get involved with.
"Yulong Laoxian, Ling Beichen, Mirror of Sin... they even killed a disciple of Hundred Corpses Demon Monarch before this.
"Who knows what other characters are hidden in this big pool of water besides these people?"
Chu Qing sipped some tea, then heard a faint moan coming from the bed.
Looking up, he saw the girl in embroidered clothing drowsily open her eyes, first touching her neck, finding that a layer of fine cloth was wrapped around it.
The wound had been bandaged.
But the next moment, as if she remembered something, she hurriedly opened her eyes wide and lifted her bedding.
Only to discover her clothes had already been changed by someone.
In an instant, her face went pale, hurriedly looking around, then meeting Chu Qing’s gaze.
Chu Qing thought for a moment, gently waved his hand at her:
"Awake?"
The girl widened her eyes at Chu Qing, suddenly grabbing a porcelain pillow and threw it at Chu Qing:
"I’ll kill you, you scoundrel!!!"
The porcelain pillow whistled through the air toward Chu Qing, but was intercepted half a foot from Chu Qing by an invisible inner strength.
With a buzzing sound, the porcelain pillow spun continuously.
Finally falling into Chu Qing’s hand.
Chu Qing frowned slightly:
"I saved your life, is this how you repay me?"
"So what if you saved my life? You still undressed me!"
The girl was very angry:
"You... what did you see?"
"Saw nothing."
Chu Qing rolled his eyes.
"...Are you blind, or do you take me for a fool?"
The girl became even angrier:
"How could you see nothing?"
"Because it wasn’t me who changed your clothes."
Chu Qing sighed helplessly, lightly clapped his hands:
"Come in."
Two maidservants entered from outside the door, bowed to Chu Qing:
"Greetings, Young Master."
Chu Qing said indifferently:
"They are the ones who changed your clothes and bandaged your wounds."
The girl skeptically glanced at the two maidservants, then sneered repeatedly:
"Do you think I would believe such nonsense? I... I... I was previously a man, and you found two girls to bandage me and change my clothes?"
"...Do you really think you disguised as a man that well?"
Chu Qing hadn’t seen someone so confident in a long time:
"I knew you weren’t a man the moment I saw you.
"Naturally, I wouldn’t change your clothes myself."
"Yes, young lady, the young master brought you back and had us take care of your wounds."
The two maidservants quickly confirmed.
The girl looked at their expressions and tone, which seemed genuine, and started to believe it a little.
She couldn’t help but furrow her brows:
"Where did I slip up? To let you see through me at one glance?"
"No Adam’s apple."
Chu Qing frowned:
"Alright, enough with the irrelevant talk..."
He gestured for the two maidservants to leave:
"First tell me, who are you?"
"I..."
Knowing that Chu Qing hadn’t seen her naked, the girl regained a bit of her brightness, immediately smiling:
