Chapter 918: Chapter 917: Attracting Nothing but Trouble
After instructing a few Hidden Guards, Wufu entered Ah Jiu’s study, where Tang Shi and Yuan Ye were waiting.
“You’re quite the formidable kid.” Hoo Die crossed his arms and raised an eyebrow at Wufu.
Wufu was still dressed in men’s clothing and said, “Is my fox borrowing the tiger’s might not good enough?”
Hoo Die snorted with laughter.
“The young lady’s disguise as a man is quite lifelike.” Tang Shi smiled and praised, “If you were on the street, even I wouldn’t recognize you, young lady.”
Wufu looked down at her attire and said, “Just barely passable.”
If it were in her past life, she could look more convincing; after all, technology was advanced, and things like the color of her pupils could be replaced with realistic-looking contact lenses.
Here, she could only do her best.
“How is it? Has Master Gui made any moves, cleared the traces?” Wufu sat down and looked at Tang Shi.
She wasn’t truly carefree; she had intentionally not dealt with the man and the traces in the restroom. One reason was to see if Chi San and the others would handle it, and secondly, to test whether Master Gui would suspect her.
“As the young lady expected, Master of Riches Gambling House also sent people to investigate the young lady’s whereabouts. Aren’t you worried that he knows your actions?” Tang Shi frowned and asked.
Before leaving the brothel, he was ordered to clean up and keep an eye on the actions of that Master of Riches Gambling House.
Indeed, that owner also noticed something amiss and sent people to check into Wufu’s whereabouts during the time she disappeared.
“No harm, even if he finds out, it’s fine.” Wufu said, “This owner is quite interesting. Before you came, he even reminded me to be careful of Wang Hao. Since he could remind me, he likely won’t turn around to inform on me, right? If he truly did that, he’d have to find Young Master Xiao Wu first. I am, after all, a kind young lady.”
Everyone winced, you’re kind? Then there are no kind people left in this world.
Ah Jiu’s eyebrows furrowed slightly: “Has the intelligence from Master of Riches Gambling House arrived yet?”
Yuan Ye handed over a document.
“Yi Er just delivered it.” It was a case of talking without moving his legs, almost missing the deadline.
Ah Jiu flipped through it, his eyebrows furrowing: “Is he still related to the Wind-Listening Pavilion?”
“If the intelligence is correct, this Master of Riches Gambling House should be the real Pavilion Master of the Wind-Listening Pavilion.” Yuan Ye said.
The Wind-Listening Pavilion is a renowned assassin organization, second to none in the Jianghu, and the assassins’ worth there exceeds ten thousand taels of silver. Moreover, the Wind-Listening Pavilion is also an information-selling organization. As long as you can afford the price, there’s nothing they can’t uncover.
“Master of Riches Gambling House, head of assassins, oh my, my head almost went cold.” Wufu exclaimed dramatically while touching her neck after reading the intelligence.
She had taken so much silver from them; if the other party were a violent person, would her head still be hanging well on her neck? The head of assassins, who must have high martial arts skills—if displeased, finishing her off would probably be a matter of a snap of fingers.
Ah Jiu snorted: “You seem to have a knack for attracting trouble, always provoking those who are difficult to deal with.”
Wufu chuckled awkwardly: “It was all accidental, everything was accidental.” Then she touched her ear and said, “I shouldn’t have offended him, right? We even drank flower wine together!” Hmm, she definitely has to find the best materials for her poker game style, such a golden thigh, she definitely has to cling tightly, maintain a good relationship; it can only do more good than harm.
“Stay away from those places in the future, you’re a young lady.” Ah Jiu’s face turned bad again, giving her a glare.
“What man doesn’t socialize?” Wufu puffed out her chest.
Man? Ah Jiu raised his eyebrows, his gaze moving to her chest, are you sure you are?
Alright, Wufu feeling embarrassed, tossed aside the documents: “I’m tired, I’m off to rest.” With that, she swiftly made her escape.
