Chapter 29
Tie Wu Shuang’s coffin, was placed right in the middle of the hall. Zhao Xiang Ling stood at the side with a grief stricken look, and was actually clad in mourning clothes, looking just like a filial son.
The guests, who came to offer their condolences, were all crowded in the courtyard in groups in three to five, putting their heads and ears together, pointing about, and who knows what they were discussing.
Suddenly a commotion was heard outside the courtyard, and voices were heard commenting, “Hero Jiang is here as well!”
“Hero Jiang has always been righteous and just in his dealings, I’ve long known that he would come.”
The people standing in the courtyard immediately separated to two sides, opening a path, all of them bowing and saluting, and there were a few who even knelt down and kowtowed.
Seven, eight burly men in blue has already accompanied Jiang Bie He in.
His brows furrowed, his expression grim, he walked stiffly to the front of Tie Wu Shuang’s alter, and respectfully kowtowed trice, speaking in a somber tone, “Old Master Tie, although I treated you as an enemy while you were alive, but it was to uphold justice in Jiang Hu, and forced by circumstances. Your soul is still near, and you should know my pains. From now on, I hope that your soul in heaven can help me to uphold justice in Wulin. During Spring, Autumn and the mourning period, I will certainly represent the entire Wulin, and visit your alter, to pray that you rest in peace.”
These words definitely sounded righteous and compassionate, and the heroes on hearing it, praised Jiang Bie He’s heroic act.
Xiao Yu’er felt nauseous instead on hearing it, and laughed coldly to himself, “This is really what you call a cat crying over a mouse, pretending to be benevolent…”
He has not finished his thought, when suddenly a cold, loud laugh was heard, “This is really what you call a cat crying over a mouse, pretending to be benevolent. Crying for that person after killing him.”
The voice is high pitched and loud, and it’s a woman’s voice.
Everyone was stunned and looked towards the direction where the voice was coming from, only to see that the person who spoke is a girl clad in black, wearing a large straw hat, with furrowed brows. Although it is a summer’s night, she was wearing a long satin black robe reaching to the floor. Even with so many people staring at her, she is unperturbed, and used her bright eyes to stare back at them.
Standing next to her is tall and good looking youth in fine clothing, but his behavior was like a girl. When others looked at him, he would be so shy that he dared not lift his head.
Xiao Yu’er recognized the two of them in a glance, and felt both surprised and elated! “She’s really here, and she actually still have that old temper of not acknowledging her family, there is no change at all.”
By then, a few people have dashed out of the crowd, pointing their finger at the lady in black and scolding, “Where did you come from, how dare you be so rude to Hero Jiang.”
The lady in black replied icily, “I will say whatever I like, who can interfere with me?”
A bearded man shouted, “Hero Jiang is magnanimous, but I will teach you a lesson on his behalf today!”
As he spoke, he has extended a palm about the size of a fan across. The lady in black laughed coolly and did not move, but the shy youth next to her suddenly raised his arm and blocked!
This burly man, after being lightly blocked by the youth, actually flew back from the impact. Everyone was speechless, and another few roared and rushed forward!
The youth raised both his fists, and made an impressive stance, full of vigor and energy. He looks like a shy maiden when he did not strike, but once he moved, he seems to have the air of an expert. Those who were able to judge his true prowess can’t help but feel amazed.
The lady in black laughed coldly, “Go ahead and fight for me, if anything happens, there’s still me!”
That youth was really obedient, his left leg took half a step forward, his right fist is already flying like lightning, and another burly man in front was flown back from the impact.
Suddenly, a voice of mild admonishment rang out, someone said, “Hold on! Stop!”
Before the words were finished, Jiang Bie He is already blocking the youth’s way with a smile, and asked “If my eyes are not blind, brother must be “Jade Faced Godly Fist” Gu Ren Yu, Second Master Gu.”
Xiao Yu’er secretly thought, “This Jiang Bie He’s evil pair of eyes are really good.”
Gu Ren Yu has not spoken, but that lady in black already held on to his hands, smiling icily, “We do not need to seek his friendship, let’s go!”
Once the word ‘go’ was spoken, two shadows were already flying over the crowd, the black satin robe flying in the wind, revealing a set of fiery red clothes underneath.
Someone in the crowd cried out hoarsely, “Could it be the Little Fairy!”
By now, the both of them had flown out the main doors of the villa, a whistle was heard, loud hoof beats followed, and a fiery red horse galloped up. The two of them rode on and galloped away like the wind.
Jiang Bie He watched their retreating back, and with a sigh, said “The descendents of a famed house has indeed remarkable skills.”
Suddenly a muddy looking begger, holding a bamboo pole in his hands, ran in.
High on the bamboo pole hung a white piece of cloth with a couplet on it, and the couplet, which was written with a flourish, read “You are alive, I feel uncomfortable. You are dead, I feel sad.”
The 12 words were written with grandiose, as if it was the work of a famed writer, but the words were extremely weird, as it did not make any sense.
Everyone were surprised, yet found it funny. However, once they saw the signature, their expression changed, and not a single person was laughing. On the top it was written “Father-in-law for eternity”. At the bottom, it was surprisingly written as “Respectfully, Dumb son-in-law Li Dazui”
Xiao Yu’er was stunned, and on careful inspection, found that the handwriting on the couplet really looks similar to Li Dazui’s. Could it be that Li Dazui had really left the ‘Valley of Evil’? When did he come out? Where is he now?
Jiang Bie He faced the begger and blocked his way, asking in a low voice, “Who asked you to send this couplet here?”
Blinking his eyes, the begger replied, “I could not take a good look at his features in the darkness, but I felt that he seems to be rather tall and large, with a fierce expression, bearing some resemblance to the statue of the Judge (Note: should be Judge of the Underworld) in the temple.”
Jiang Bie He continued, “Besides asking you to send this couplet here, what else did he say?”
After humming and hawing for a while, the begger finally replied, “He also said, although his father-in-law wants to kill him, but now that someone else has killed his father-in-law, he is still furious. He wants the person who killed his father-in-law to cleanse himself quickly. I can’t help but ask him why that person should clean himself, but he just laughed loudly, turned around and left.”
Jiang Bie He’s expression changed, and without a word, took a big step and walked out.
However, the begger was still shouting out, “Doesn’t Old Master knows what his words meant? Old Master….”
By then the rest of the people were in a tumult again, and their discussion drowned out his voice, saying “The ‘Ten Evils’ have gone into hiding for so many years, now that this Li Dazui has revealed himself, the others might have followed him out as well.” f(r)eeweb(n)ovel
Someone else said, “Besides Li Dazui, there is also Er Du Gui (Devil Gambler), and these two are already difficult to handle, what shall we do now?”
Amidst the astonishing discussion, no one paid any heed to the begger, only Xiao Yu’er followed him, and saw him placing the couplet on the alter, and as he walked out, kept looking left and right. Xiao Yu’er quietly followed behind, and one in front of the other, they walked for some distance, when the man suddenly turned around with a smile, “I’ve just gotten three hundred taels of silver, do you intend to rob me by following me?”
Xiao Yu’er also replied with a grin, “Who are you really? Pretending to use Li Dazui’s name to send this couplet, what do you have up your sleeve?”
The man’s expression changed, and his eyes shone like a piercing light. The look was more intense than Jiang Bie He’s, and fiercer than Er Du Gui’s.
But he closed his eyes in an instant and smiled, “Someone gave me three hundred taels of silver, and I’ll just deliver the couplet. Other things, I do not know.”
Xiao Yu’er smilingly asked, “How did you know I was following behind you, you’re obviously highly skilled, and yet you want to hide this from me?”
The man laughed loudly, “You say that I am highly skilled, if I am highly skilled I would have become a robber long ago, why would I want to be a beggar.”
Xiao Yu’er raised his voice in reply, “Even if you do not want to admit it, I will force you to admit it!”
He flew forward like an arrow, extending his hand out to strike. Who would have known that the man really did not know any martial arts, once Xiao Yu’er’s fist hit him, he fell instantly.
Xiao Yu’er was still afraid that he was faking it, and waited for a moment, but the man lay on the ground, unmoving. Reaching out to touch him, the man’s limbs were icy cold, and there was no breathing, he had been beaten to death.
Xiao Yu’er truly did not expect that this person was really unable to take a beating, he had unintentionally killed this person, and felt very bad about it. After pausing for a while, he said with a long sigh, “Don’t blame me. I accidentally killed you, so the least I can do is to bury you. Although a bad life is better than a good death, I still want your burial to be an elaborate one.”
With a sigh, he carried the body of the man up and walked back to the city. After walking for only a while, he suddenly felt his neck getting wet, and there was a sour smell.
Xiao Yu’er was surprised, “How could a dead person pee?”
Furious, he used his hands to wipe his neck, and the ‘corpse’ dropped to the ground. Raising his leg for a flying kick, that ‘corpse’ suddenly flew up, and said with a laugh “I am treating you to drink my pee today, the next time I shall have to treat you to eat my stools.”
Amidst the laughter, he has moved a few feet away with a somersault, and disappeared in an instance.
This person’s Lightness Skill, is not below the likes of Jiang Bie He. By the time Xiao Yu’er gave chase, not even a shadow could be seen.
Since young, when has Xiao Yu’er ever suffered any loss? He almost expired of anger, but since he does not even know who this person is, there is no way for him to vent his frustration.
Xiao Yu’er was only angry for a short while, and he suddenly burst our laughing, “Luckily he was only playing a prank. If he wanted to kill me, I would not have lived until now. I should be happy instead of being angry.”
Laughing, he strode forward, as if he is really not angry any longer. He is indeed very open-minded when it comes to things that he cannot control.
The lamps were shining brightly along the streets; it is the liveliest time of the night.
Xiao Yu’er again bought another set of clothes to change, and strolled around to while away the time when suddenly a large carriage drove past in a flurry, almost hitting him. Xiao Yu’er unconsciously took another look.
He saw that the large carriage coming to a sudden stop outside a very large inn, and after a while, a few servants in nice, clean attire walked out from the inn and pulled open the carriage door. They stood on attention at the side, and looked as if they did not even dare to take a deep breath.
After another moment, two persons walked out of the inn, surrounded by a group of people, some bowing and some carrying lanterns. Under the light, the person on the left could be seen to have a pale face… the build scrawny, looking as if he is so weak that a gust of wind would blow him away. However, he has a calm air around him, giving others a sense of comfort. His clothes were of a plain color, and the lines simple, but each scarf and belt was well matched, and not a flaw could be found from head to toe.
The person on the right, was tall and large, his appearance energetic, and as he looked around, his gaze was assertive, giving others a feeling that he is not one to be belittled.
This person’s dressing was also quite simple, but a set of simple, ordinary set of clothes, when worn by him, does not seem simple or ordinary anymore.
One walking in front of the other, the two of them walked up to the large carriage without any flair or arrogance, but they looked as if they were slightly different from others, as if they were born to be accompanied by an entourage, born to ride in this kind of carriage.
Even when the carriage has left, Xiao Yu’er still stood there, mumbling, “Who could these two people be? To have such charisma ….”
Such charisma was hard to copy and impossible to fake too.
This An Qing City, is now full of valiant heroes. In this one night, all those that Xiao Yu’er has seen were outstanding and uncommon people. What he didn't understand, is the reason for those heroes to come to An Qing, and who were they? It's obvious that some excitement was brewing in this area.
After strolling for half the day, he unconsciously found himself walking back to Luo Jiu’s house.
Although night has fallen, it is still too early for the night activities to begin. After thinking for a while, Xiao Yu’er decided to go in.
He sat downstairs for quite some time, and just as Xiao Yu’er stood up to walk out, he suddenly saw Luo Jiu and Luo San running in from outside.
Luo Jiu and Luo San took two steps back when they saw him, and stared at him for a while, before Luo Jiu finally smiled in comprehension, and clasping his fists, said “Brother is really adept at the art of disguise, it seems like you can be considered the best.”
Xiao Yu’er replied with a grin, “Where have the two of you gone? You’re back really early.”
Luo Jiu smiled, “There were honored guests coming today, Jiang Bie He held a feast to welcome them and my brother and I were invited to accompany them, which is why we unconsciously came back late.”
Luo San continued, “To trouble brother to wait so long for us, please forgive us.”
Xiao Yu’er asked with a smile, “Honored guests! Who’re they?”
Luo Jiu replied, “These two people are really quite famous, they are the son-in-laws of the Murong Family of ‘Da Xiu Villa’. One of them is the descendent of the ‘Aristocratic Nangong Family’ Nangong Liu, while the other is a talent in Jiang Hu, Qin Jian, who is also the Leader of the Wu Lin of Liang Guang (Liang Guang = 2 Guangs, meaning Guang Dong and Guang Xi).”
Xiao Yu’er’s eyes shone, and commented “The son-in-laws of the Murong Family! Wonderful. Wonderful.”
Luo San continued, “To be able to marry the ladies of the Murong Family, is really the admiration of many. The abilities of these people are not bad either, take for example that Nangong Liu, although sickly, but no one dares to look upon him with contempt.”
Liu Jiu asked, “From the way brother speaks, could it be that you know them?”
Xiao Yu’er explained, “Although I do not know them, but I saw them earlier… the two of them, one has a pale face… with elegant clothes, while the other looked smug, as if he just picked up three hundred taels of silver.”
Liu Jiu laughed, “Correct, that is the two of them.”
Luo San continued, “Not only the two of them, but it is heard that the other six son-in-laws of the Murong Family, will be rushing here within these two days, as well as another potential son-in-law ‘Jade Faced Godly Fist’ Gu Ren Yu…”
Xiao Yu’er’s eyes shone again, and asked “Could it be that Gu Ren Yu is also coming with them?”
Xiao Yu’er rolled his eyes, and continued, “These people are all rushing here, do you know why?”
Luo San replied, “It is said that a lady is missing from the Murong Family, and it seems that this lady was once with Hua Wu Que, so they are all rushing here to inquire.”
Clapping his hands, Xiao Yu’er laughed, “That’s right, I’ve long guessed that they are most likely here for this matter.”
Luo San queried, “Could it be that Brother knows that lady?”
Luo Jiu stared at him, and asked, “Is it possible that Brother knows the whereabouts of that lady?”
Without even taking a glance towards the direction of the loft, Xiao Yu’er replied with a stern look, “How would I know, I can’t possibly hide a lady.”
Luo Jiu smiled, “My feelings exactly, but…”
Xiao Yu’er replied with a grin, “It could be that she herself eloped with her lover, or she could have been drugged by someone...”
He tilted his head and thought for a while, and suddenly burst into laughter, “This is very interesting, really extremely interesting.”
Luo Jiu joined in the laughter, and taking a glance towards the loft, asked with a smile, “Where has Brother been this half day?”
Xiao Yu’er replied, “This half day I have really seen many interesting things, and many interesting people, the most interesting one is…”
Although he was made fun of, but he did not find it an embarrassment, instead he told them exactly how he had been tricked.
Luo Jiu and Luo San joined in the laughter after listening to his story, but their laughter were superficial, and the expression on their faces seems to have changed slightly.
The two of them secretly made eyes at each other, before Luo Jiu asked, “I wonder what that person looked like?”
Xiao Yu’er replied, “That person looked exactly like what a good-for-nothing vagrant would look like, those whom you can see in the inns or red light districts of any city, and others would not take a second look at such people. This is also where this person is skilful, those who do not catch the attention of others, will find it exceptionally easy to commit crimes.”
Luo Jiu and Luo San exchanged looks and Luo Jiu suddenly stood up and walked into the room. Xiao Yu’er heard the sound of the drawer being opened, followed by the sounds of paper ruffling, and then, Luo Jiu waked out, holding a piece of paper so old that it has turned yellow.
Not only has this piece of paper turned yellow with age, it is also torn, but Luo Jiu seemed to treat it like a treasure, carrying it out carefully, gently placing it on the table in front of Xiao Yu’er, but yet blocked Xiao Yu’er’s line of sight with his body, as if afraid of being seen by Xiao Yu’er.
Xiao Yu’er asked with a smile, “This tattered piece of paper won’t be broken or shattered from a fall, and no one’s snatching it away, why do you treat it like a treasure?”
Luo Jiu replied with a straight face, “This piece of paper may be tattered, but in the eyes of some in Wu Lin, it is indeed a priceless treasure. If Brother thinks that no one would snatch it, you are very wrong.”
Xiao Yu’er answered with a grin, “Oh, does that mean that, this paper is again some sort of ‘treasure map’? If it’s really a ‘treasure map’, I don’t even want to take a look at it.”
Luo San smiled, “There are really quite a few people in Jiang Hu who were tricked by ‘treasure maps’, out of ten thousand ‘treasure maps’, I’m afraid not one will show a real treasure. From what Brother has said, could it be you have been tricked before.”
Luo Jiu interjected, “But this drawing is definitely not the same…”
Xiao Yu’er asked, “You took this piece of paper out with the intention of letting me see it, then why do you block my view.”
Luo Jiu smiled, “Although my Brother and I normally treat this drawing as a treasure, but Brother is now one of us, which is why I am willing to take it out, but… I hope Brother would promise to keep it a secret after you have seen it.”
Xiao Yu’er can’t help but feel curious, but deliberately stood up and walked to the side, and said with a smile, “If you do not trust me, than it does not matter if I do not see it.”
Luo San replied with a hearty laugh, “If my brother and I could not trust Brother, who else can we trust…”
Xiao Yu’er interrupted, “You tell me first what is drawn on that piece of paper, before I decide if I want to take a look at it.”
Luo Jiu lowered his voice and said, “On this paper, is it the drawings of the ‘Ten Evils’ real looks.”
Xiao Yu’er eyes gleamed, but he deliberately smiled and asked, “I have never seen the Ten Evils, but hearing the name, I would imagine them to look ugly. What’s so interesting about it, why would others want to snatch it?”
Luo Jiu sighed, “Brother is not aware, this ‘Ten Evils’, each has a skill that is unfathomed even by Gods or ghosts, each has committed all kinds of evil, those in Jiang Hu who have been harmed by them, are countless…”
Luo San continued, “But these ten people, not only do they move from place to place, but they are all skilled in the art of disguise. Some who have became homeless and lost their family, who were at their wit’s ends after being harmed by them, have not even seen their real face, so how could they seek revenge, how could they vent their frustration.”
Xiao Yu’er laughed, “I understand now, others want to snatch this drawing away, so that they can take a look as to how they look like, so that they can seek revenge.”
Clasping his palms, Luo San replied, “Exactly.”
Xiao Yu’er asked, “But they have no enmity with me, so why do you want me to see…”
Luo Jiu smiled mysteriously, “Brother really has no enmity with them?”
Xiao Yu’er rolled his eyes, and asked “Do you mean to say that the rascal who pretended to be dead, is one of the ‘Ten Evils’?”
Luo Jiu did not reply, but moved his body away, pointing to the picture of a person on the paper, and calmly said “Why don’t Brother come take a look, if that rascal is him?”
On that yellowed paper, were portraits of ten people, the brush strokes were exquisite, lifelike. One person wore clothes white as snow, with a pale face, and is precisely ‘Bloody Hands’ Du Sha.
Next to Du Sha, with a laughing pose, is naturally ‘Dagger in Laughter, Little Monk’ Ha Ha’er. A little further is the one with a charming smile ‘Charm to Death without Compensating with Life’ Xiao Mimi, and holding a human’s head in the hand, with a miserable expression is ‘Does not eat human head’ Li Da Zui…
And there is someone who seems to be floating amidst some fog, and without any question, that is obviously ‘Half Human, Half Ghost’ Yin Jiu You. Diagonal to Yin Jiu You, ther is someone with two heads, the left head is of a lady, the right head is of a handsome man, this would naturally be ‘Neither man nor woman’ Du Jiao Jiao.
Xiao Yu’er has seen all these people countless times, and saw that not only do the drawings look like them, even their expressions were well captured.
Xiao Yu’er can’t help but secretly admire the drawings, and wondered, “Who could have drawn this painting? Unless this person is very familiar with them, how else could he capture their expressions?”
Soon, he noticed the picture of ‘Er Du Gui’ Xuanyuan Sanguang, who was dressed in tattered clothes, with a haughty expression, and next to him was someone with a face full of fine beard, the expression murderous, and the eyes looked like those of a hungry wolf or wicked tiger, waiting for prey. In his hand held a large knife, and the knife was dripping with fresh blood.
Xiao Yu’er deliberately asked, “This person looked scary, I wonder who he is.”
Luo Jiu replied, “He is ‘Mad Lion’ Tie Zhan.”
Luo San continued, “Although this person looks fierce and wicked, but in fact he is the kindest person among the ‘Ten Evils’. If one does not annoy him, he will never bother that person.”
Xiao Yu’er asked, “But what if someone annoyed him.”
Luo San replied, “The person who annoyed him, must really be unlucky for three life times, for he will not cease until he has killed the person’s and his family.”
Xiao Yu’er stopped smiling and commented, “If you consider this sort person kind, then I must be a saint.”
Although he was conversing with others, but in his heart, he can’t help but think of Tie Xinlan, and thought of that mouth that seems to pout and smile, thought of the eyes that seems troubled and angry…
He felt a stab of pain in his heart, and hurriedly asked loudly, “Who are these two?”
“These two” are obviously twin brothers, both of them looked skinny yet robust… both their cheekbones jutting out, one of them holding an abacus in his hand, the other one holding an account ledger. Although they are dressed to look like some wealthy merchants, but their looks and expression looked like a pair of evil ghosts who had just escaped from Hell.
Luo Jiu smiled, “These are twin brothers, who appeared weak but fierce, fierce but weak. Although the ‘Ten Evils’ are considered ‘Ten’, there are actually eleven people, because all in Jiang Hu considered the two of them as one person.”
Luo San continued, “These brothers are surnamed Ouyang, one is nicknamed ‘Desperately taking advantage’, the other nicknamed ‘Rather die than suffer a loss’. Brother should know what kind of people they are when you hear such nicknames.”
Luo Jiu commented, “Although the Ten Evils are famous, but they are mostly poor, only these two brothers, their wealth can be compared to that of a country…”
Luo San pointed to another person on the painting and said, “But this person’s character is totally different from the others, this person has always liked to harm others, and wants others to be tricked, without caring if he himself benefits from anything.”
Xiao Yu’er laughed, “This kind of person is really rare, he…”
Suddenly losing his voice, he exclaimed. “Ah! That’s right, he really is that rascal who was faking death!”
The people on the painting, some were sitting, some were standing, and only this person is squatting at the bottom corner of the painting, one hand scratching his toes, the other hand placed at his sniffing nose.
The others on the painting more or less have an imposing air, only this person appeared shifty, with a grinning face, and looking like an absolute rascal.
Luo Jiu’s eyes shone as he asked, “Has Brother taken a good look?”
Xiao Yu’er replied loudly, “That’s right, it’s him! Although he also disguised himself, but the expression, the smile… will never go wrong.”
Luo San sighed, “When I heard Brother describing what that rascal had done, I’ve already guessed it was him.”
Luo Jiu said, “This person is surnamed Bai, and called himself Bai Kaixin (Kaixin = happy).”
Luo San added, “Those in Jiang Hu gave him another nickname, called ‘Harm others without benefit to oneself’ Bai Kaixin.”
Xiao Yu’er laughed, “He is indeed worthy of his reputation, pretending to be someone else to send a couplet, pretending to be dead, these are really acts that ‘harm others without benefit to oneself’. Although others were tricked by him, but he did not gain anything from it either.”
Xiao Yu’er suddenly asked, “You and your brother immediately thought of him when you heard my story, could it be you are well acquainted with him?”
Luo Jiu rubbed his chin, before replying with a smile, “My brother and I may not be talented, but we would not lower ourselves to be with such people.”
Xiao Yu’er looked at him amd asked with a beam, “I think you and your brother are very familiar with him, and very familiar with the ‘Ten Evils’ as well. How else would you know his ways so well, and how else would this painting be in your hands?”
Luo Jiu’s expression changed, but Luo San had already had a long laugh before explaining, “I shall not hide this from Brother, my brother and I are arch enemies with the ‘Ten Evils’, our parents were killed by them.”
Xiao Yu’er asked in surprise, “Oh… is that real?”
Luo Jiu continued, “To take revenge, my brother and I used all means and methods to obtain this drawing, and by all means possible, searched for information about their character and behaviour.”
Xiao Yu’er queried, “If that is the case, why don’t you let everyone else take a look at the painting, so that others will look for them. Why do you help them keep it a secret instead!”
Luo Jiu replied with hatred, “To seek revenge, my brother and I have put in so much effort, and everyday we imagine the euphoria we would feel when we kill our enemies, so why would we want them to die at the hands of others!”
After thinking for a while, Xiao Yu’er nodded, “Right, that sounds reasonable… very reasonable.”
Luo Jiu carefully rolled up that piece of paper again, and said “If Brother encounters that Bai Kaixin the next time, you must help us brothers detain him.”
Luo San continued, “If Brother can find out his whereabouts, my brother and I will be very grateful.”
Xiao Yu’er’s eyes flickered, before answering with a smike, “Fine, Bai Kaixin is yours, but Jiang Yulang is mine. You and your brother must keep him for me, and it’s best that others do not even touch a finger of his.”
Luo Jiu smiled, “Naturally.”
Xiao Yu’er commented, “The old man’s giving a feast, the son will naturally be there, you must have met him today.”
Luo Jiu replied, “That’s the weird thing, Jiang Bie He giving a feast, but Jiang Yulang was not present.”
Xiao Yu’er laughed heartily, “That little thief does not even dare to show his face now? Or else with the chance of meeting someone like Nangong Liu, his daddy would be hurrying him to become friends with him.”
Luo Jiu immediately joined in the laughter, “That little thief must have been scared out of his wits by Brother.”
Xiao Yu’er glanced up towards the loft, before saying with a smile, “To see someone who has been beaten to death by oneself, and to appear resurrected infront on him, that person will definitely be frightened senseless, unable to face anyone else, regardless of whom he might be.”
There is of course a hidden meaning to his words, but the Luo brothers would never have guessed that it would have anything to do with the girl in the loft, and would never expect that this ‘senseless’ girl would be Murong Jiu.
The two of them saw Xiao Yu’er’s eyes looking towards the loft, so they stood up together, laughed loudly and said, “It’s getting late, Brother would want to rest.”
Xiao Yu’er laughed loudly, “That’s right, it is time to rest.”
He stood up, and walked outside, laughing.
