Chapter 54: Chapter 7: Old Mrs. Xiao Comes Wreaking Havoc
The newcomer was similarly clad in black night clothes, with a black veil covering their face. Silver needles ready in Shen Ruoxi’s hand, she coldly asked, “Who are you?”
The other person chuckled softly, casually pulling off the black veil, prompting Shen Ruoxi to let out a cheer, “Second Senior Brother!”
Qi Luo responded warmly, “Master sent me and the Third Junior Brother to investigate the Demon Sect. We had long suspected something was amiss with this tavern, but we didn’t expect you’d beat us to solving it.”
With joy all over her face, Shen Ruoxi said, “Second Senior Brother, you came at the perfect time. I was just worried I had no one to help.”
“What exactly happened?” Qi Luo asked.
Shen Ruoxi explained everything she knew to Qi Luo, who couldn’t help but sigh at the complex entanglements behind Old Mrs. Xu.
Shen Ruoxi continued, “I’ve arranged everything for the victims in the tavern, but these women have nowhere to go for now.
Manager Yan and his subordinates have been imprisoned by me, but this must not be leaked. I’m afraid once Xing Tian finds out, he’ll flee, so we must find him quickly.
Old Mrs. Xu likely doesn’t know about the tavern yet. She told them not to contact her and fears I’ve planted spies around her. I have my ways to catch her; this side is up to you.”
Qi Luo nodded, “Senior Brother has also arrived in the Capital City. I will signal him right away. Leave this matter to us, and you return to the Shen Family to focus on Old Mrs. Xu.”
Shen Ruoxi hesitated, “Second Senior Brother, should I wait for Senior Brother to arrive before leaving?”
Qi Luo smiled, “No need. After we solve this, we will come to find you.
“It’s late, hurry back and rest. Old Mrs. Xu’s side is more urgent. Be careful.”
Shen Ruoxi nodded in agreement, “Alright, then I’ll take my leave.”
Before leaving, she reassured the women that this was her senior brother, a man of unquestionable integrity, who would take good care of them temporarily.
After all, they now had Silver, and could make plans for the future.
Their lives were saved by Shen Ruoxi, so they trusted her deeply and naturally trusted her senior brother too.
Shen Ruoxi’s figure leapt gracefully, disappearing from sight, making the women present gaze with envy.
If they could possess such powerful martial arts, how would they easily fall victim to bullying?
Under the night, the signal blossomed like brilliant fireworks in the sky.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Shen Ruoxi’s senior brother, the famously renowned Cold Star Young Master Qin Yu, arrived at the scene with his men.
When the two senior brothers met, after exchanging greetings, Qi Luo narrated the entire incident to Qin Yu.
Upon hearing this, Qin Yu furrowed his brows, surprised that the Demon Sect dared to show up blatantly in the Capital City, thoroughly reckless.
“Leave this matter to me, and I guarantee the demon won’t escape,” Qin Yu’s voice was cold and firm.
“Senior Brother, these victimized women have nowhere to go temporarily. What should we do?” Qi Luo asked, somewhat troubled.
Qin Yu slightly frowned, letting his gaze sweep over the women.
These women, curious, also glanced at him. They had been captivated by Shen Ruoxi’s second senior brother, but upon seeing Qin Yu, were even more awestruck.
His features were exquisite, giving off the sensation of the most biting winter wind brushing past the world, leaving not a hint of warmth.
His eyes were deep and distant, reminiscent of a cold pond, unfathomable and chilling to the bone.
He stood tall like a pine, his green robe fluttering in the wind, further accentuating his aloof demeanor.
The women were drawn to his unparalleled beauty, their gazes infatuated and captivated.
Though he seemed icy and impassive, he made others yearn to dive into the flame, to melt his icy demeanor.
Qi Luo, watching the women enamored by his senior brother’s beauty, could only shrug helplessly.
Clearly, he was also a handsome and suave youth, yet as soon as Senior Brother appeared, he became merely a backdrop.
“Leave this place to Senior Brother, escort them back to Cloudfall Manor temporarily, and plan from there,” Qin Yu instructed Qi Luo.
Cloudfall Manor was his base in the Capital City. Qi Luo nodded in agreement and then led the women away.
Watching as they repeatedly looked back towards his senior brother, Qi Luo could only shake his head with a wry smile.
It turned out that not just men were easily swayed by beauty; women were equally entrapped.
After seeing off his junior brother with the women, Qin Yu turned to check on the situation of Manager Yan and his men.
These people must be released, mainly to avoid arousing suspicion among Xing Tian’s subordinates. He had given them the Reviving Pill.
