Chapter 338: Going Out Disguised 3

Meanwhile at the inn.

After Qi Qingyao’s instructions, a servant went to buy the things, while another servant led Qi Qingyao and the others to a private room on the third floor, and the rest went to clean up the mess on the second floor.

Si Jin had his back turned to the girls tactfully.

Qi Qingyao first checked the injuries on Gu Shanshan and Xingtao, and they were all just flesh wounds! The sword wounds on Xingtao were a little deep, however.

After the bandages and gauze were bought.

Qi Qingyao applied medicine to the wounds, and then wrapped them carefully with the gauze. Gu Shanshan asked in wonder, “What medicine did you use? It feels very cool when applied.”

Qi Qingyao said nothing.

Gu Shanshan did not ask anymore. Seeing that the doctor was willing to help her, she was very courteous, so she stopped talking.

It took Qi Qingyao an hour to finish applying medicine on this master and servant pair.

Gu Shanshan immediately asked, “How much?”

Qi Qingyao smiled slightly, “You defended the weak against injustice, and I’m also helping the injured. We’re the same kind of people, there’s no need to talk about money.”

Gu Shanshan complimented decisively again, “Doctor, you’re a really nice person.” It was just that she looked too… common.

Qi Qingyao handed the bottle of medicine to Gu Shanshan’s hands with a smile.

“This bottle of medicine is for you. After you go back, apply it twice a day, so there should be no scars.”

Gu Shanshan smiled happily when she heard that it would not leave scars.

When Qi Qingyao was about to leave.

Gu Shanshan asked hastily.

“Doctor, what’s your name?”

Naturally, Qi Qingyao took Si Jin and disappeared without answering.

Only Gu Shanshan was left on the spot. She touched the wound on her arm, feeling that there was genuine kindness in this world.

Xingtao’s wounds did not hurt so much after medicine was applied. She lifted her sword and said, “Young lady, that doctor just now is such a nice person.”

“It must be because one good turn deserves another!” Gu Shanshan held her fists and said seriously.

Then, she ordered a table full of dishes and planned to have her meal again!

Who asked her to get tired from the fight just now?

Xingtao thought about it and was afraid that the bunch of people from before would return. If they came back, the young lady’s and her life would probably be put to an end here today.

Xingtao pondered for a while and took out the signal flare tube given by the Master in her arms. She then walked to the window and, after opening the window, she pulled out the signal flare tube and fired a signal flare into the sky.

The signal flare was very special. When it blew up in the sky, it turned into a flower.

After setting off the signal flare, Xingtao shut the windows and walked back.

She knew that as long as the Master saw it, he would definitely come over.

Gu Shanshan was about to start munching on the chicken drumstick when she heard the sound of the signal flare and jumped in shock. She asked Xingtao in a small voice, “You even set off the signal flare?”

“Yes.” Xingtao sat down and started eating as well.

Gu Shanshan gestured and said, “But we’re alright now.”

Xingtao said seriously while eating a steamed bun, “Those people are local tyrants of Qingzhou City. If they come back again, you’ll be overwhelmed. I can’t deal with them either.”

Gu Shanshan thought to herself, ‘Isn’t it a little exaggerated to set off a signal flare at night?’ “I’m going to get scolded again when my brother comes later…”

Xingtao smiled and continued eating the steamed bun.

Gu Shanshan put a chicken drumstick into her bowl. “Eat quickly, you’ve also expended a lot of energy just now! Replenish yourself more! I’ll get you some vitality nourishing pills to eat when we go back later!”

Xingtao looked at the chicken drumstick in her bowl. She pursed her lips and smiled softly.

The young lady liked to give her her own favorite chicken drumstick after a fight every time…

…

…

Gu Cheng, Xiao Wuji, and several bluebloods from Qingzhou City were drinking together when they suddenly heard a strange explosion. Gu Cheng immediately opened the window and saw the exploded signal fireworks in the sky.

He frowned and said, “Sh*t!”

He immediately left the room in big strides.

Xiao Wuji put down his wine cup and said, “Did something happen to Shanshan?”

Gu Cheng dropped the words without looking back, “You guys continue chatting here first, I’ll go over and have a look.”

Several bodyguards outside of the door hurried to keep up.

Xiao Wuji felt the cold breeze coming from the window and his mind became sober. He straightened his clothes. “If it made Shanshan set off the signal flare, it means it’s a big deal. I’ll go with you!”

When he walked to the door, he told the other bluebloods, “You guys continue drinking first, if there’s anything, we’ll talk tomorrow.”

“Okay, Brother Xiao, Brother Gu!”

After Xiao Wuji caught up with Gu Cheng, Gu Cheng said worriedly, “Bring everyone.”

“Don’t worry, I brought everyone!”

…

…

After half an hour.

Gu Cheng and Xiao Wuji rushed to the location of the signal with a dozen people—Zuixian Restaurant.

As soon as they entered, Gu Cheng asked the servant.

“Is there a round-faced chubby girl here?”

The servant immediately pointed out the room number.

After Gu Cheng memorized it, he thanked the servant and hurried up to the third floor with Xiao Wuji. When they passed by the second floor, they were so surprised by the wreckage that they raised their eyebrows. After going up to the third floor, they pushed open a certain private room nervously.

What he saw was a round-faced girl and her maid sitting there feasting on chicken drumsticks…

This scene made Gu Cheng really confused.

His first sentence was—

“What’s the matter!!”

Xiao Wuji was also puzzled. “Didn’t you say you were in danger?”

Gu Cheng only noticed the wounds on Gu Shanshan’s face after he entered the room. There were several bandages tied tightly around Xingtao’s body and there were traces of fresh blood on her clothes.

“Who did you have a fight with this time?” Gu Cheng held his forehead and asked, “Didn’t I tell you not to cause trouble in Qingzhou City!”

Gu Shanshan put down the chicken drumstick. Her mouth was greasy, but that small, round face was filled with indignation. She rushed to Gu Cheng all of a sudden, clenched her greasy fists, and hit Gu Cheng’s chest without any force. “Brother!! My face was almost disfigured and you’re still here making sarcastic remarks! Do you still have humanity in you!”

She grumbled while pointing to the wounds on her face.

Gu Cheng looked at her greasy hands and knew that his clothes were ruined but he entertained her and did not reprimand her. Instead, he walked over and sat down. “Let’s talk about what happened first.”

Seeing that Gu Cheng did not scold her, the grievance from being bullied just now suddenly welled up again.

She had never been at such a disadvantage in the Capital City of Eastern Ling!

Gu Shanshan suddenly lay in Gu Cheng’s arms and began crying loudly.

The little fat girl cried hard in her brother’s arms.

Gu Cheng snapped at her helplessly, “Don’t smear the grease on me.”

“That’s exactly what I want to do!” Gu Shanshan continued crying petulantly while wiping her snot with his clothes.

Gu Cheng sighed but did not push Gu Shanshan away. He let his sister hug him and cry wildly to let off steam.

Xiao Wuji looked at the round-faced girl who was crying her eyes out and asked his subordinates to guard the door. He closed the door and sat on the chair by the side. “Xingtao, tell me what happened just now.”

Xingtao described the prior situation briefly…

Xiao Wuji and Gu Cheng could not help but roll their eyes after listening to it. Was that even okay? Just because someone cursed Qi Qingyao behind her back, she blew up…

She really was defending the weak from injustice!

She could have at least considered her own numbers! She only brought one person out, which was not sufficient for a fight!

However, some third party threw out a bunch of chopsticks and made all those young ladies from Qingzhou City retreat. That was rather interesting.

Before Gu Cheng finished consoling Gu Shanshan, he saw Gu Shanshan take a chicken drumstick while she was crying…

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Xiao Wuji said, “Come in.”

A subordinate pushed the door open and entered. He bowed and immediately apologized.

“Master, Young Master Han of Qingzhou City brought a bunch of people to Zuixian Restaurant. They heard that Young Lady Gu is here and he’s looking for her.”

“Call them in!” The corner of Xiao Wuji’s lips raised into a sneer.

Gu Cheng patted Gu Shanshan’s back, motioning for her to get up first.

Gu Shanshan’s ears perked up. Knowing that the local tyrant of Qingzhou City was here, she quickly sat aside and began feasting on the chicken drumstick, readying herself to watch the show.

Gu Cheng and Xiao Wuji walked to the door. After waiting for a while, Young Master Han took people and came up the stairs.

“Young Master Han.”

“Isn’t this Brother Gu and Brother Xiao?”

Both sides had met in some public places a few days ago.

“I’m looking for Young Lady Gu, I have something to ask her.” Young Master Han knew that both of them were distinguished guests from Eastern Ling. He greeted them lightly, speaking politely.

“Did you want to bully my sister again?” Gu Cheng said impassively.

The corner of Young Master Han’s lips twitched involuntarily.

‘Exactly who bullied who?

‘A rank seven guard from our family died, who should I be crying to?! My sister and a few young ladies were injured, and I still haven’t complained!

‘But you, it was obvious your sister started it first, but you’re the one complaining…

Annoyance aside, he was here for proper business.

“Here’s the thing, I’m not here to make things difficult for Young Lady Gu. I just want to ask, who threw that bunch of chopsticks? After all, that person is the true culprit, isn’t it?” Young Master Gu nodded slightly—the man’s words were still extremely polite!

Seeing that his attitude was indeed very polite, Gu Cheng’s anger dissipated a bit. “Shanshan doesn’t know who threw the chopsticks.”

“Then, that’s strange. I just came up from downstairs and asked a few witnesses, but they all said they didn’t see anything. All they knew was that the chopsticks were thrown from the crowd…” Young Master Han said in confusion.

He saw that Gu Cheng and Xiao Wuji’s expressions were vividly cold.

Young Master Han had no choice but to drop his posture and said, “The thing is, I came here specially for the death of a rank-seven guard.”

Gu Cheng folded his arms and said, “So does Young Master Han plan on locking up my sister?”

Young Master Han said, “It has nothing to do with your sister. I want to look for the culprit.”

Gu Cheng was very aloof. “We don’t know.”

Young Master Han thought that these two people must not realize the seriousness of this situation. He wiped the sweat on his forehead and said, “Brother Gu, Brother Xiao, I had the corpse collector conduct an autopsy! He said that the culprit is possibly the same person as the Lingyun Restaurant Massacre.”

“…”

What!

Gu Cheng and Xiao Wuji narrowed their eyes at the same time.

The two of them turned to look at the small round-faced girl in the room.

They only saw a certain round-faced girl grabbing a chicken drumstick and chewing happily… It looked like she did not care about anything in the world other than the chicken drumstick.

A big question mark appeared in both of their minds.

If it was that mysterious grand master, why did he help Gu Shanshan?

What the hell was going on!!!
