What imperial henchmen? Please call me Your Majesty!

"You...you..."

Luo Qiqi's speech became incoherent at this moment. Her eyes were swollen from the beating, and she squinted at him. She raised her hand, but she couldn't muster any strength.

She never expected that something would come out of nowhere, hurting her with a dart and then punching and kicking her. It was inhuman!

Footsteps sounded behind him. Su Mu turned around and saw Bai Jinwei hurrying towards him.

Bai Jinwei had just entered when she saw Su Mu still standing and the other lying down. She ran a certain distance, stopped, slowly walked over, looked at him, and then stared at him in disbelief:

"No, did you really hit me that hard?"

Faced with her question, he raised his hand and slapped his head in exasperation:

"She was going to castrate me, how could she not be ruthless? It's a miracle she didn't kill me."

"what?"

Bai Jinwei's gaze shifted slightly downwards:

"So, were you castrated?"

Su Mu then realized something was wrong, raised his hand, grabbed her head with his five fingers, and tossed it aside:

"How old are you? You're already doing bad things."

At this moment, Bai Lian slowly walked in through the courtyard gate.

"snort."

Bai Jinwei didn't think much of it. She turned around and saw her master's wife coming over, so she quickly ran over to her.

"Master's wife."

Su Mu also looked over, but when he saw that Bai Lian seemed very weak and had blood on the corner of her mouth, he couldn't help but be curious and went over as well.

"What happened? Did you guys start a fight?"

Bai Lian watched as Su Mu approached, raising her hand to maintain distance from him. Then, looking at Luo Qiqi lying on the ground, she was somewhat incredulous.

"You're only at the second realm, how did you manage to beat her, who's at the seventh realm, like this?"

"Never mind that."

He was too lazy to explain, but the main reason was that Luo Qiqi underestimated her opponent; otherwise, she wouldn't have been so badly injured.

Bai Lian said:

"Jinwei, go, tie her up, cough cough..."

"Master's wife, are you... are you really alright?"

Bai Lian shook her head and looked at Su Mu:

"This matter has somewhat implicated you, young master."

"There's no such thing as being implicated or not. I already had some grudge against her."

"You have a grudge against me too?"

Bai Lian thought that she had attracted Luo Qiqi, and that she was no match for him. She was hiding in the house trying to escape when she discovered that he had returned, thus implicating him.

"Otherwise, why would they fight like this? But what exactly happened? This is the capital city, how dare the people from Tingxuelou come here?"

"Don't you know that Tingxuelou is actually a respectable business in the capital? However, they don't easily provoke people from the imperial court."

Su Mu shook his head, no longer thinking about it. Back in Qingzhou, Xiao Chuli really wanted to kill Luo Qiqi, but he didn't know why. Perhaps he could only find out when she woke up.

Walking over, I saw Luo Qiqi barely moving, and then I looked at the house. The other side had collapsed, which made things a bit tricky.

"Damn it, they're not taking the person away unless they pay them some money."

So he went inside to find a rope.

Bai Lian and Bai Jinwei arrived in front of Luo Qiqi, but Bai Lian found it difficult to remain composed upon seeing her appearance:

"This young master is ruthless when it comes to women, and he's quite unpredictable."

Bai Jinwei chuckled softly from the side:

"Master's wife, they were about to castrate this brother, it's already a miracle he wasn't beaten to death."

"?"

Bai Lian looked at her with suspicion, then at Luo Qiqi. With the witch's methods, it was indeed possible for her to do such a thing, and it was indeed understandable that she was beaten like this.

Su Mu found a rope and tied Luo Qiqi to a pillar, which was just casually propped up, leaving her exposed to the sun.

Just looking at this house...

Bai Lian was injured and could only use her own room to heal temporarily, while Bai Jinwei stayed by her side.

However, Bai Jinwei noticed that Su Mu kept looking into the room, so she closed the door.

Su Mu was in a bit of a predicament. Leaving the person here wasn't a good solution, as someone even stronger might come along, and he might not be so easy to deal with.

Why not take him to the Ghost Temple?

Since Xiao Chuli and Luo Qiqi had a grudge against each other, why not do them a favor?

Thinking of this, seeing Luo Qiqi who had been awakened by the heat, he came up to her and slapped her across the face with a smile.

Snapped!

Crisp and pleasant to the ear.

"you!"

Luo Qiqi was furious, her eyes fixed on him:

"I want you dead!"

Just as she was about to use her strength to snap the rope, a gleaming dagger was already at her neck in the next second:

"Miss Luo, watch your words. I plan to take you to the Black Court. If you don't know your place, I won't mind stripping you naked and taking you there."

"You dare!"

No matter how strong a martial artist is, their fighting ability will be greatly reduced after being injured. Once the opponent gets close, unless the opponent is not a martial artist, they will not be able to shake them off at all.

"Do you think I dare?"

As he spoke, a hand reached down to the hem of her dress that revealed her collarbone.

"You... fine! I was wrong."

Su Mu was quite surprised to see her give in, so instead of trying to pull off her clothes, he sneered:

"I'm curious, what gives you the right to cause trouble in the capital? Or do you have someone in your Tingxuelou holding an official position in the imperial court?"

Luo Qiqi chose to remain silent.

I never imagined that I would be captured by someone whose cultivation level is lower than mine, and now I'm being threatened. It's an utter disgrace.

"Oh, Officer Su, are you planning to use your official position for personal matters?"

Another voice came from behind, and Su Mu looked over in confusion.

They saw Xiao Chuli dressed in a bright green brocade robe, with two people following behind her.

Su Mu put down the knife and looked at Xiao Chuli, who had just walked in, with a puzzled expression:

"I truly admire your intelligence network, sir; you even knew about my movements."

Xiao Chuli simply smiled, not responding to his teasing, but instead looking at Luo Qiqi.

"It's strange that the Thousand-Faced Witch would be captured here."

"Xiao Chuli!!"

Luo Qiqi was furious. She suddenly exerted force, the rope snapped, and she broke free.

The next moment, the two people behind Xiao Chuli stepped forward and, with perfect coordination, came to Luo Qiqi's side. Each of them kicked Luo Qiqi, forcing her to kneel down, and then each of them used one hand to support her.

The whole process was smooth and seamless.

Su Mu watched Luo Qiqi struggle, but found it futile. Only then did he sense the terrifying aura emanating from the two people.

Absolute Eighth Realm or Ninth Realm!

Xiao Chuli smiled and looked at Su Mu:

"I'm taking the person with me."

"No, sir, this person damaged my house, and I was planning to find a way to make her pay for it, otherwise where am I supposed to live?"

Xiao Chuli did find the collapsed house, and felt somewhat helpless. She then remembered that this guy was all alone in the capital and his salary from the Ghost Office had not yet been paid.

It's definitely quite difficult for some people.

"How about this, I can lend you some money so you can move to a better place. As for the money, it will be deducted from your salary."

?

Su Mu found it hard to believe.

So all they get is a salary.

No commission, right?

It's not surprising that they call themselves the government's dogs, but a higher-ranking official can have absolute power, so they can only clasp their hands in a gesture of respect.

"Yes, thank you for your kind words, sir."

Seeing that he was clearly unconvinced, Xiao Chuli didn't say much, but called the two people and took Luo Qiqi away.

Once outside the courtyard, there were two carriages. One person pushed Luo Qiqi into the second carriage, while the other person pushed her into the first carriage.

Someone glanced back at the courtyard:

"My lord, there seems to be another presence inside."

Xiao Chuli glanced at it, and was naturally somewhat displeased:

"I don't have that much of a desire for control. If you push people too far, you might cause them a lot of trouble."

Not everyone in the Ghost Office has a clean background, and not everyone can be controlled. If that were the case, the Ghost Office wouldn't be a Ghost Office.

"Yes, it was my fault for being so talkative."

Xiao Chuli got into the car and left, while Su Mu looked around at the empty space and wondered if he was living too suffocatingly.

This might not be a good idea.

However, if Luo Qiqi is not taken away, then the people from Tingxuelou might come, and he might not be able to deal with them.

It's all the money on him...

Ugh.

It's so hard to live.

He clapped his hands, closed the gate, and then looked at the collapsed courtyard next to him.

I don't know if the landlord will make me pay compensation. If they don't and kick me out, who can I complain to?

Walked to the window and knocked on the door:

"Is your injury healed yet?"

There was a rustling sound inside, and after a moment Bai Jinwei responded:

"Hey, what's the rush?"

"I want to sleep."
