Gu Long's World: Starting with the Legend of Chu Liuxiang

Chapter 153 Two Tigers

The female Taoist nun wore a purple robe and white socks, her face was pale, and her eyes were like autumn water, filled with sadness and desolation. Her otherworldly beauty was like the sunset on the horizon.

Seeing such a beauty, Lu Xiaofeng seemed to be infatuated. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Sikong Zhaixing darted away. Even if his lightness skill wasn't the best in the world, it wasn't far off. It would be very difficult to catch up with him.

Besides, Lu Xiaofeng wasn't the type to force his friends. If Sikong Zhaixing still wouldn't talk about it, Lu Xiaofeng couldn't make things difficult for him any further.

"Check-in!"

"Signed in successfully with Jiang Qingxia, gaining three years of internal energy."

Jiang Fengyue thought to herself, this female Taoist nun is also a member of the Red Shoes organization. Is Gongsun Lan specifically targeting these beautiful women to recruit them into the organization?

Jiang Qingxia slowly walked out, but she didn't even raise her head during the process, as if Lu Xiaofeng and the others didn't exist.

Jiang Chongwei also heard her footsteps and said, "Qingxia, is that you?"

Jiang Qingxia said softly, "It's me. It's almost time for you to take your medicine."

Jiang Chongwei sighed and said, "Lu Xiaofeng, now you finally know why I'm here. Qingxia is my sister and also the abbess of this place."

Lu Xiaofeng said, "Jin Jiuling and Hua Manlou are looking for you."

Jiang Chongwei said with a wry smile, "I know, they've already been here."

Lu Xiaofeng asked, "Did Hua Manlou say anything to you?"

Jiang Chongwei's expression suddenly became strange, and he slowly said, "He told me not to forget that he was also blind, and not to forget that he has always lived a good life."

Jiang Fengyue sighed inwardly. Hua Manlou was just that kind of person. Even though outsiders thought he was living a very hard life, he always thought that others could live a better life.

Lu Xiaofeng sighed, "I came here to ask you if there was anything suspicious about the Pingnan Prince's mansion that day."

Jiang Chongwei's face turned pained again, and he said, "No, there's nothing at all. Even if there were, I wouldn't say it again."

Lu Xiaofeng asked, "Why?"

Jiang Chongwei said sadly, "I don't want to harm you. I have never seen anyone with such high martial arts skills. Even if you find him, you will be far from being his match."

Lu Xiaofeng said, "I—"

Jiang Qingxia suddenly spoke up, "His injuries haven't fully healed yet, and he doesn't want to bring up that matter again. I've always hoped he would forget what happened that day."

Jiang Chongwei said, "I'll be fine soon."

Lu Xiaofeng laughed and said, "I know you've always been a tough nut to crack."

Jiang Chongwei smiled and said, "Since you're here, why not stay a couple more days? If I remember anything, I might be able to tell you."

Jiang Qingxia interrupted loudly, "No! Men are never allowed here."

How could a man be allowed to stay in a nunnery?

Jiang Chongwei chuckled self-deprecatingly and said, "Am I not a man?"

Jiang Qingxia said sadly, "But you—"

Jiang Chongwei said in a deep voice, "If I can do it, then they can too."

He added, "Take them to the back to have something to eat, lest the guests go hungry."

Jiang Qingxia snorted coldly and said, "Please come with me, both of you!"

Jiang Qingxia's attitude towards Lu Xiaofeng was completely different from her attitude towards Jiang Chongwei, as if Lu Xiaofeng had offended her in a past life.

Jiang Fengyue thought to herself that Lu Xiaofeng must not have offended her in his past life, but who knows in this life.

After passing through the corridor behind the nunnery, they arrived at a courtyard, where Jiang Qingxia led the two to a room.

Jiang Qingxia pushed open a door and said, "Please come in, both of you!"

Jiang Fengyue sighed helplessly. This woman had a temper with Lu Xiaofeng, and he, as Lu Xiaofeng's friend, was going to suffer here too.

Jiang Fengyue said, "I think you two must have something to resolve, so I won't go in yet. I'll just wander around outside."

He leaned close to Lu Xiaofeng's ear and whispered, "Brother Lu, you're the one who got yourself into trouble with this woman."

She then pushed Lu Xiaofeng into the room. Jiang Qingxia didn't say anything, followed him in, and then slammed the door shut.

Jiang Fengyue didn't care what might happen inside and turned to walk outside. But before he even left the nunnery, he saw a familiar figure.

Xue Bing!

Xue Bing, who had disappeared, reappeared here.

Jiang Fengyue smiled and said, "Miss Xue, so you were in such a hurry to leave back then because you were rushing to become a nun here."

Xue Bing coldly snorted, "Where is Lu Xiaofeng?"

Jiang Fengyue smiled and said, "You and your fifth sister will stay in the back room."

Jiang Qingxia was the fifth in the Red Shoes organization, so it wouldn't be wrong to say she was Xue Bing's fifth sister.

Xue Bing bit her lip. She was used to Jiang Fengyue, who knew everything. Even though Jiang Fengyue had revealed Jiang Qingxia's identity in one sentence, she was not too surprised.

After listening, Xue Bing darted to the room where Lu Xiaofeng and the others had just entered, and pushed open the door to go inside.

Inside the house, Lu Xiaofeng and Jiang Qingxia were talking badly about Xue Bing.

Xue Bing stood at the door and said coldly, "Lu Xiaofeng."

Jiang Fengyue sighed. It's never a good thing to have too many women. Jiang Qingxia, that one tigress, is already enough for Lu Xiaofeng to deal with. Now that there's another tigress, he's probably going to have a lot of headaches.

Lu Xiaofeng understood the principle of striking first, so he jumped up, pointed at Xue Bing, and shouted, "I was just looking for you! I didn't expect you to dare come to see me!"

Xue Bing seemed quite confident, saying, "Why wouldn't I dare to come see you?"

Lu Xiaofeng sneered, "Fine, I'll ask you, why did you come here?"

Xue Bing said, "I'm here to deliver something."

Lu Xiaofeng asked, "The things?"

Xue Bing said calmly, "Of course it's that piece of red satin."

She admitted it without batting an eye.

Lu Xiaofeng paused for a moment, then said, "You don't want to renege on your promise?"

Xue Bing smiled and said, "What's the big deal? I did help your friend, after all. That piece of red satin won't be of much use to you, but it will be very useful to Sikong Zhaixing."

Lu Xiaofeng almost laughed out of anger, saying, "Do you expect me to thank you?"

Xue Bing seemed even angrier, and retorted confidently, "Didn't you also deceive him? And after you deceived him, weren't you smug about it? Why can't I let you fall for it too?"

Lu Xiaofeng immediately wilted, turning from Lu Xiaofeng into Lu Xiaoji (a character from a Chinese folktale known for his cunning and shrewishness), and said with a wry smile, "But—you should at least help me a little, no matter what."

Xue Bing sneered, "Who told you to be so arrogant! I just can't stand your smug look."

Jiang Fengyue sighed. Sometimes, when a man meets a woman, it's like a scholar meeting a soldier—there's no logic to it.

He had no choice but to take out the red satin embroidered with black peonies from his pocket and sighed, "Even if there is any secret, it is hidden in this real red satin. The person behind the scenes spent so much money, but in the end, we might turn the tables on them."
