Honey, you didn’t really drugged me, did you?

Bai Mosheng from Guild Cao and Eagle Hall Master Qin Ying from the Fishing Guild arrived,

the entire scene tipped into a lopsided situation.

At this moment, the two approached Miss Qiao Hongyan.

While Mr.

Bai held a folding fan in his right hand and draped his left hand over it, he performed a courtesy bow and said, “I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Miss Hongyan.”

Qin Ying appraised Miss Qiao from top to bottom, his gaze revealing a hint of stunning appreciation.

He had seen many women before, but beauties like Qiao Hongyan were rare indeed.

Although her face was not visible, her figure alone stirred fanciful thoughts,

especially when coupled with the fragrance about her, and her distinguished status.

Among the Thirteen Grand Protectors, she should be the only woman, which added to his desire for conquest.

He did not know that among the Thirteen Grand Protectors, the oil seller was also a woman.

The oil seller’s identity was hidden quite deeply, did not interact much with others, and usually, Old Zhong handled affairs at the Black Market.

Therefore, many people mistook Old Zhong for the oil seller since he indeed had the right temperament.

Who would have thought the oil seller was a stunning beauty with a voluptuous figure?

And on Miss Qiao, there was a beauty that overwhelmed all flowers, much like peonies dominating a garden.

Thus, Qin Ying greedily surveyed her up and down twice.

Although Qiao Hongyan’s face was covered, she instinctively showed displeasure.

At this moment, she harrumphed coldly and suddenly shot a palm from her sleeve, striking with amazing speed,

like a hand darting through blooms, swift and accompanied by the scent of perfume, aimed directly at Qin Ying.

Qin Ying instantly reacted, his right hand clawing violently back at the incoming flower hand.

The Eagle Claw fiercely grabbed, but just at that moment, the flower hand became elusive and then deftly circled behind the keen edges of the Eagle Claw, twisting it slightly, and with a slap, Qin Ying’s hand and wrist were struck, pushing him back a step.

Following that, he spread his arms like an eagle spreading its wings, readying his stance.

Aaah…

It was as if everyone heard the cry of a mighty eagle, while Miss Qiao declared with a chuckle, “Master Qin Ying is indeed formidable, I’m impressed!”

Qin Ying had just suffered a loss; it was clear his strength was no match for Miss Qiao Hongyan.

Her statement was an unmistakable slap to his face.

Qin Ying gritted his teeth, but could say nothing more.

His purpose today wasn’t to fight.

And even if it came to a real fight, he wouldn’t have had the upper hand, so he had no choice but to seek peace and dropped his stance, then said, “Miss Qiao Hongyan, indeed extraordinary.

That palm just now, what martial arts was that?”

Miss Qiao laughed and said, “Mei Mountain Flower-Breaking Hand.”

“I am enlightened!” Qin Ying responded.

Miss Qiao said nothing further, at which Mr.

Bai Mosheng interjected, “Incredible, Miss Hongyan.

Not only does your beauty rival that of flowers, but your kung fu is also poetic.

As if a hand reached out from the clouds to pluck a flower, perfectly fitting this scene.”

“You flatter me too much,” Miss Qiao replied courteously.

At that moment, Peng Shizhong asked, “Why have you two come here today?”

Peng Shizhong had already guessed their intentions but still felt the need to inquire—to remind them both.

Upon hearing this, Mr.

Bai laughed and replied, “Ah yes, I was almost distracted by the lady’s beauty and nearly forgot the matter at hand.

Miss Hongyan, I am here on orders from our Gang Leader.

Our leader and Mr.

Peng are old family friends.

I’ve specifically come today to request that you do Mr.

Peng the honor of meeting his request.

In doing so, Guild Cao would be indebted to you.

May I ask if you would do us the favor?”

Miss Qiao’s tone was cool as she replied, “Such a trivial matter, yet it has troubled Guild Leader Liu himself.

I truly don’t know what to say.”

Qin Ying then said, “Miss Hongyan, I too have come here on orders from our Gang Leader.

Sect Master Peng is a member of our Fishing Guild.

Please consider the face of our Gang Leader and agree to Sect Master Peng’s request.

The Fishing Guild would be extremely grateful.”

Upon hearing this, Miss Qiao paused for a moment and then said, “Well, well, I did not expect that today half of the prominent figures of Mianshui County would gather in my modest Yihong House, all for the sake of a little girl.

I truly wonder how this will be spoken of in Jianghu from here on.”

With that, Miss Qiao turned her gaze toward Chen Jie, who seemed inconspicuous hiding among the crowd, as if everything was unrelated to him.

His ability to deflect trouble was not something ordinary people could manage.

Miss Qiao then addressed Chen Jiusi, saying, “Chen Jiusi, that is your name, isn’t it?”

Chen Jie, hearing this, glanced at the others beside him and stepped forward with clasped hands, bowing, “I have had the pleasure of meeting Senior Hongyan.”

“Senior?!” Miss Qiao’s eyebrows furrowed slightly and she chuckled in slight irritation, “Do you even know my age?

And yet you readily call me ‘senior.'”

Listening to this, Chen Jie replied, “In Jianghu, respect is given to those of superior ability.

Since your martial arts far exceed mine, it is natural to call you ‘senior.'”

“Haha, very well, since you refer to me as ‘senior,’ then as your senior, I must ask you—isn’t today’s event orchestrated by you?

Didn’t you scheme to involve all these notable seniors?”

“The younger generation is terrified, how would I dare to scheme against the seniors?”

The surrounding crowd, hearing this, also cast thoughtful glances toward Chen Jiusi.

Their expressions varied, with Peng Shizhong initial shock followed by a slowly narrowing of eyes, his gaze upon Chen Jie filled with a measure of admiration.

Their own Fifth Brother was clever indeed, not bad, not bad.

Zhang Liye gazed at Chen Jiusi as well, a trace of admiration in his eyes, but also a touch of coldness.

If the youngster was so crafty, could it be that even his relationship with Wu Hong was calculated?

His naive disciple saw Chen Jiusi as a brother in life and death.

If Chen Jiusi considered his naive apprentice a mere stepping stone…
