Chapter 390: The Girl with the Beef Noodle Soup Aura
Chapter 390: The Girl with the Beef Noodle Soup Aura
"What do you think of Bluebeard's martial arts skills?" Hua Manlou asked.
"The woman by his side is indeed very beautiful." Su Shaoying remarked, "No wonder he was willing to divorce his four wives and marry her."
Hua Manlou was speechless, "She's Fang Yufly's sister."
"Fang Yufly isn't at the Silver Hook Gambling Den," Su Shaoying said.
At that moment, the two had already left the gambling den, and before they departed, they had spotted two martial artists stealthily making their way inside, evidently there to investigate the situation with the Rakshasa Card.
It remained to be seen if they would live to see the next morning.
"Obviously, Fang Yufly has gone with them." Hua Manlou said, "But I still don't understand why Bluebeard is certain that the Flying Tiger won't harm Lu Xiaofeng. Lu Xiaofeng will definitely bring back the Rakshasa Card."
Su Shaoying blinked, well aware that Bluebeard didn't really care about Lu Xiaofeng's life or death since he believed he possessed the real Rakshasa Card.
However, he also didn't want Hua Manlou and Su Shaoying to help Lu Xiaofeng. If the three of them obtained the card and didn't hand it over to the Three Friends of Cold Seasons, what if the blame fell on him again?
Bluebeard's top priority now was to pass off the fake Rakshasa Card B that he had prepared, clear his name, and then, on the seventh day of the new year, take the Rakshasa Card A to Kunlun Mountain to assume control of the Western Demon Sect.
Little did he know that the Rakshasa Card A, obtained from Yu Tianbao, was also a fake, carefully prepared by Yu Luosha herself.
"As Sikong Zodiac said, Bluebeard and the Flying Tiger definitely know each other." Su Shaoying commented.
This wasn't a difficult guess. Even Lu Xiaofeng was aware of it since Dingxiang Auntie was introduced to the Flying Tiger by Fang Yuxiang. As her husband and Fang Yufly's brother-in-law, how could Bluebeard not know the Flying Tiger?
Hua Manlou pondered for a moment before suddenly saying, "Since this is the case, I'm afraid that this matter will eventually be resolved at the Silver Hook Gambling Den."
"Why do you say that?" Su Shaoying asked.
"Because Bluebeard is remarkably calm." Hua Manlou explained, "As a formidable figure, his woman betrayed him and stole the priceless Rakshasa Card, yet he doesn't seem the least bit angry. That's very abnormal."
"Maybe he's just good at concealing his emotions." Su Shaoying had just finished speaking when she paused in her steps.
Hua Manlou's expression shifted, "What is it?"
"I saw someone familiar." Su Shaoying said.
He had spotted the young girl who had previously blocked the honest monk outside the south gate of Jingcheng.
At that moment, the girl was accompanying a proud-looking young man. The way she looked at him was pitiful yet adoring, with a hint of worship in her eyes.
The young man was tall, dressed in fine clothing, and had a luxurious sword hanging from his waist. He surveyed his surroundings, his gaze proud and aloof.
When Su Shaoying spotted the girl, she also noticed him.
The girl's eyes lit up, and she tilted her head slightly towards Su Shaoying, offering a sweet smile. Her eyes were captivating, and her smile was like a blooming flower, giving off a feeling that could heal all the darkness in one's heart.
Su Shaoying returned the girl's smile with a nod, and then he saw the young man in brocade turn his head, his gaze assessing. There was a hint of arrogance and disdain in his eyes.
Su Shaoying's eyebrows furrowed slightly as he realized that this young man's martial arts skills were also formidable, and his senses were sharp. He had noticed the girl's shifting gaze so quickly and then turned to face Su Shaoying.
Su Shaoying's hearing was incredibly sharp at that moment. Even in the noisy environment, he clearly heard the conversation between the brocaded youth and the young girl. However, he also confirmed one thing—this young man was not Gong Jiu.
It was just...
"Why should I care if the one who bullied you was either the honest monk or Lu Xiaofeng?" Su Shaoying thought to himself.
Hua Manlou, with his keen senses, had also heard the exchange and quickly deduced, "Is she the same young girl who blocked the honest monk in the capital?"
Su Shaoying nodded, "Yes, that's her."
The next moment, the brocaded youth had already placed his hand on his sword and was approaching them.
"Let's go!" He said arrogantly.
"Go where?" Su Shaoying asked.
"Leave the Silver Hook Gambling Den," the youth replied indifferently. "I don't want to kill you here."
Hua Manlou smiled and said, "Why would you want to kill us?"
"I don't need a reason to kill," the youth said, a sneer playing on his lips. "If you can escape within ten breaths, I won't mind letting you live."
Hua Manlou sighed, "But we don't want to die."
"That's not up to you," the youth said, reaching for the hilt of his sword. "If you don't leave, you die now."
Su Shaoying looked at the young girl standing behind the brocaded youth. She hid timidly, a sweet smile on her face.
Hua Manlou suddenly reached out and flicked the sword sheath in front of him, then turned and walked away. "In this world, there are countless wonderful things to experience, but killing is never one of them."
"You're still young," Hua Manlou said softly. "I hope you'll take the time to travel and see the world, meet kind people, and let these experiences shape you for the better."
Su Shaoying glanced at the brocaded youth before turning to the young girl. "What he said comes from the heart. If I were you, I'd go home and stay away from strangers. It's too dangerous."
But the youth only laughed coldly. "Even my father has never lectured me like this. Who do you think you are?"
As the youth pursued Hua Manlou and Su Shaoying, he reached behind him to draw his sword, but though he made the motion, the long sword did not leave its sheath.
"Hmm?"
The youth paused, then looked down at the sword in his hand.
The next moment, his expression changed as he realized that the brass decoration near the hilt of his sword had been squeezed flat, firmly jamming the sword in its sheath.
The youth's pupils contracted as he exerted all his strength to draw the sword, but to no avail! He abruptly looked up. "Who are you?"
However, Hua Manlou and Su Shaoying did not answer him. They had already left the Silver Hook Gambling Den.
"That young girl's appearance here is no coincidence," Hua Manlou mused. "She must also be here for the Rakshasa Card."
Su Shaoying neither agreed nor disagreed, but he was puzzled.
The more he looked at the young girl, the more she reminded him of Beef Noodle Soup, but if she was Beef Noodle Soup, why didn't she appear in the original story?
