"Why is it impossible?" Lou Yi handed the flattened Iron Gall to everyone present to see.
They squeezed it with their hands and chopped at it with their swords, all showing the same expression as Xu Haoren.
How could this be possible?
"Impossible, this is impossible!" Xu Haorenâs face turned ashen, still growling unwillingly.
However, in the face of irrefutable facts and the many noble family scions present, he could only admit defeat.
Lou Yi laughed heartily, gathered the silver notes, Bone-piercing Orchid, White Dew Stone, and other spoils from the table, and swaggered out.
Of course, he didnât forget to take the deformed Iron Gall with him.
Zhan Weida naturally followed him out.
On the way, he kept asking Lou Yi what kind of Blinding Technique he used, but Lou Yi just smiled without a word.
Todayâs haul was indeed substantial.
Not only did he obtain the necessary materials to advance his Breathing Technique and talent, but he also won over ten thousand taels of silver.
Now, itâs time to return to the Hundred Beasts Mountain Range.
...
Moon Embracing Residence.
The many noble family scions were still immersed in Lou Yiâs recent âfeatâ, and no one spoke up.
"Alright, now I get it!" Xu Haoren suddenly came to his senses, walked over to the braided girl from Fulin Escort Agency, and angrily pointed at her, saying, "Lin Tianqi, you must have colluded with that guy!
You gave him the broken Iron Gall beforehand, and then he swapped it during the fight, right?"
"Yes, it must be like this!" Xu Haorenâs lips curled into a confident smile, as if he had seen through their trick.
"If youâre sick, youâd better get treated early!" The braided, cute girl Lin Tianqi couldnât help but retort and left in anger.
Yet, Xu Haorenâs gaze flickered, but he didnât stop her.
After all, she was the Chief of the Escortâs only daughter, her family background was not much inferior to his.
After Lin Tianqi left, the others present seemed to lose interest as well, and they all left one after another.
What was supposed to be a martial arts exchange feast used to socialize with noble family scions ended abruptly.
"I didnât expect Liu Yi to act so recklessly, upsetting Brother Xu." Jia Hongâs expression returned to normal, she picked up a wine vessel from the table and said apologetically, "Iâll drink three cups as punishment, please donât take it to heart, Brother Xu."
Xu Haoren waved his hand, feigning magnanimity: "No worries, I wouldnât fuss over such a person.
Besides, he is he, you are you, why should Miss Jia blame herself?"
He looked at Jia Hongâs flawless, beautiful face with a fiery gaze.
Jia Hong seemed embarrassed under his gaze, lowering her head shyly, making her even more alluring.
Seeing that everyone else had left.
Xu Haoren couldnât resist reaching for her small hand, but she inadvertently avoided it.
Jia Hong chuckled lightly, stood up, revealing her graceful and slender figure.
"Young Master Xu, we will meet next time."
She turned and left, her steps light and elegant, making Xu Haorenâs gaze grow even hotter.
What he didnât see was.
Jia Hongâs face had already turned cold, her eyes flashing with rare anger.
...
"How dare Liu Yi ruin my major plan!" In the Extreme Fist Sect, the Great Elder Zhou Bufeng, upon hearing his female disciple Jia Hong recount slowly and calmly, flew into a rage.
His bulging muscles, due to the rapid flow of Qi and blood, swelled once more, nearly bursting his black mandarin jacket.
"I must go and have a talk with him!" Zhou Bufeng abruptly stood up, ready to trouble Lou Yi.
"Master, he is Elder Zhangâs disciple..." Jia Hong gently reminded.
"How about Elder Zhangâs disciple, even if heâs a disciple of that old guy Wei Youdao, I will educate him today!" Zhou Bufeng said with a domineering tone.
Seeing this, Jia Hong couldnât help but show admiration.
Zhou Bufeng arrived at the Martial Arts Arena, glanced around, and then fixed his gaze on Zhan Weida: "Where is this kid Lou Yi?"
Zhan Weida replied, "He has an urgent matter at home, just asked for leave."
"Hmph!" Hearing that Lou Yi wasnât there, Zhou Bufeng felt his anger couldnât find an outlet and had to swallow it down, leaving in anger.
While Zhan Weida stood where he was, his mind couldnât help but recall what Lou Yi said before leaving.
"If thereâs an extremely urgent matter, you can go to Shi Family Pawnshop, they have a way to find me."
âWhat urgent matter could I have?â Zhan Weida shook his head, not taking it too seriously.
Besides, even if there was something the Zhan Family couldnât solve, Lou Yi wouldnât be able to help much.
On the other hand, Lou Yi didnât rush to leave the main city.
Because the pink-clad maid Xiaoqian suddenly came to find him.
"Miss wants to see you."
Leaving just this sentence, Xiaoqian puffed up with anger and stood by the carriageâs door, unwilling to talk to Lou Yi.
"Did I offend you?" Lou Yi was somewhat puzzled.
"You tell me, you said youâd come find Miss in a couple of months, and you didnât." Xiaoqian was someone who couldnât hide anything, and said fiercely, "Do you know how much danger Miss encountered not long ago?"
"If not for a master passing by at the right time...never mind, Iâm not saying anymore, but if I were Miss, I definitely wouldnât care about you!"
Xiaoqian selectively forgot that Lou Yi did come by before, but they ignored him.
After she finished, Lou Yi understood what was going on.
He then teased her on purpose: "What did that master look like, was he as handsome as me?"
At this moment, Lou Yi, wearing the second Human Skin Mask given by Xiaoqian, had fair skin and a handsome appearance.
Seeing Xiaoqianâs face redden, she spat: "The master is a noble person, unlike you, being frivolous and lacking decorum."
"By the way, when we get to our Su family, donât wander around, donât talk to strangers, donât enter other rooms rashly..."
Fearing Lou Yi would cause trouble, Xiaoqian continuously nagged him like Lady Xianglin.
The carriage arrived at the Su Familyâs gate.
The guards at the door saw them and let them pass directly.
The Su Family estate was large, with pavilions and towers, carved railings and painted buildings, rockeries, and flowing water, showcasing their affluent heritage.
They arrived at a courtyard entrance, the two got off.
The courtyard was filled with various flowers, colorful and blooming furiously.
Several maids in gray skirts were diligently trimming the branches and leaves.
They passed through the courtyard and entered the inner room.
What came into view was a luxurious screen embroidered with a ladyâs boating picture in light blue, and a figure could be vaguely seen behind it.
Xiaoqian led Lou Yi forward, around the screen, and finally met Tian Sush\r
She wore a cyan dress, the skirt hem reaching her ankles, a purple silk ribbon outlining her delicate waist.
Her hair was styled in a high bun, with a white jade hairpin inserted, a few strands of dark hair hanging down, her skin white as jade.
Her beautiful eyes seemed to flow with watery light, captivating the heart.
As expected of a noble lady, she naturally exuded a noble and elegant aura.
"Xiaoqian, you may leave now."
The first sentence she spoke took Lou Yi by surprise, as she told Xiaoqian to leave first.
Xiaoqianâs face showed reluctance, but she could only leave.
Before leaving, she glared fiercely at Lou Yi, warning him not to misbehave.
Once Xiaoqian left, only Lou Yi and Tian Suxian were left in the room.
"Little Qian, you may go now." As if sensing Lou Yiâs thoughts, Tian Suxian ordered.
Her first words were unexpected to Lou Yi, she furrowed her brows: "In my Su Family, are you still worried about my safety?"
"Yes." Although Xiaoqian was unwilling, she left.
After Xiaoqian left, the entire room was left with only Lou Yi and Tian Suxian.
"I was betrayed by a servant and accidentally fell into Young Master Xuâs plot recently.
I thought I was certain to be in danger, but a sage appeared and saved me." Tian Suxian began to speak, her voice calm and pure.
"Oh really, Little Qian mentioned this to me just now." Lou Yiâs expression remained unchanged, and he replied.
"Is that so? Then why do I feel that the sage seems very similar to you?" Tian Suxian suddenly moved closer, her small nose twitching with satisfaction.
"You donât know, but my nose has always been sharp, I can sense peopleâs scents on them."
She leaned so close to Lou Yi that her warm breath brushed against his arm.
And with the fragrance emanating from her, it was impossible to resist, his Qi and blood were boiling, stirring for unknown reasons.
Lou Yi hugged her slender waist that was as soft as nothingness.
"Didnât you know, curiosity killed the cat?" said Lou Yi with a smile.
Tian Suxianâs body went weak when touched by Lou Yi, as if she had no strength.
Her watery eyes looked up at Lou Yi, filled with a hint of panic.
