Chapter 614: Go Find Chu Liuxiang and Make Him Kneel
Chapter 614: Go Find Chu Liuxiang and Make Him Kneel
As soon as Lian Chengbi woke up, he knew he was no longer at the Pure Mountain Villa.
While the room was lavishly decorated with rosewood carvings and silk curtains, with a hint of sandalwood incense lingering in the air, the atmosphere lacked the humidity of the Jiangnan region and instead carried a raw, dry chill indicative of the northern regions.
Either Shanxi or Hebei.
"Young Master, please don't be sad. Our family has been wealthy for generations, and even if that treasure is lost, it's not a big deal." A servant's voice sounded. "Don't let this upset you too much."
Lian Chengbi touched his forehead, feeling a slight fever. His original body was still sick.
"Master Wang, the physician, said that you are suffering from anger and worry, coupled with a cold. You need to rest," the servant explained.
Lian Chengbi finally saw the servant, a young attendant dressed in a blue shirt, looking at him with concern. "My father asked me to persuade you not to take this matter to heart. We don't care about that jade beauty either."
Lian Chengbi sighed, finally understanding who he was.
He was the young master of a wealthy family from the north, one of the Four Treasures of the Capital, the owner of the White Jade Beauty, and the first male character to appear in the original story of "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang."
Also known as the male lead!
Well, at least for half a chapter.
All that glitters is not gold, a dandy among flowers—Jin Banff!
In the original story, Jin Banxia served as a foil to highlight Chu Liuxiang's elegant rogue demeanor. As a plot device, he also provided Chu Liuxiang with the White Jade Beauty, allowing Chu to perform a good deed.
"I was already the second male lead in the previous world, and I thought I might have a chance to become the main character this time!" Jin Banxia sighed, "In this world, who can compare to Chu Liuxiang?"
The Thief Lord charms and bewilders, leaving his scent in the moonlit night.
Charming and gallant, kind-hearted, clever, and chivalrous...
Everyone takes pride in knowing Chu Liuxiang, and everyone holds him in high regard.
Not to mention his other qualities, but just his ability to attract people is remarkable.
In the previous worlds, Xie Xiao Feng and Lu Xiaofeng were also popular among women, but they each had their unique charms and had showcased them fully.
But Chu Liuxiang...
Chu Liuxiang seemed to carry an aura of enchantment, capturing women's hearts with just a glance or a word. It was almost as unreasonable as Li Xunhuan's throwing knives!
"His fame surpasses that of Lu Xiaofeng, he's so shameless!" Jin Banxia sighed.
"What did you say, young master?" the attendant asked.
"I asked where my father went," Jin Banxia replied.
Unlike the previous two worlds where he had no parents, Jin Banxia had both parents in this world. His father was a longtime giant in the capital, and his mother was a daughter of an official family. They held influence in both business and politics, making him a true beneficiary of entrenched power.
With his every need taken care of, Jin Banxia had developed a fondness for martial arts from a young age. Thus, he cultivated connections with various martial arts masters in the capital and invited renowned teachers to instruct him in martial arts. As a result, his martial arts skills were not weak.
That was why the original owner could invite Wan Sheng, the chief escort of Wan Sheng Escort Agency, Sheng Si Pan Cui Neng, and Bai Yi Shen Er Ying Wan Li to help him deal with Chu Liuxiang at the beginning of the story.
Of course, it didn't help much...
"Your father went to the Hui Bin Tower to discuss business." The attendant said, "Oh, and Madam asked me to inform her when you wake up!"
"Never mind, you don't have to tell her. I'll go see her myself." Jin Banxia waved his hand.
"But you're still sick. Please stay in bed and rest!" The attendant held Jin Banxia down, not letting him get up. "If anything happens to you, Madam won't be able to take the shock!"
...
A few days later, Jin Banxia had recovered from his illness and was getting along well with his parents.
And so, they did not stop Jin Banff from wanting to go out and take a walk to clear his mind.
"That White Jade Beauty is said to be one of the Four Treasures of the Capital, but it's just hype. If Chu Liuxiang took it, then so be it. We can just take out another treasure from the warehouse that's comparable to the White Jade Beauty and continue to boast about our four treasures."
Master Jin waved his hand and took out a stack of silver notes, stuffing them into Jin Banff's hand. "As the saying goes, it's better to be rich on the road than at home. A man must have money when he goes out. Take these twenty thousand silver notes from the two major banks first. If it's not enough, you can withdraw more from our branches."
Madame Jin pointed to the book boy and the two maids beside him. "It's inconvenient to have too many people when going out. Jin Ning is your companion and book boy, and Yu Lan and Bi He are diligent and attentive. Take all three of them with you."
Master Jin nodded and turned to the two martial artists at the door. "Master Liao and Master Ye, with your extensive experience in the jianghu, please be extra vigilant on the road."
"Rest assured, Master! We will protect Young Master with our lives!" The two men in green clothes bowed together.
Jin Banff: "..."
Finally, at Jin Banff's insistence, the book boy and the two maids were left behind, and only the two martial artists, Liao Gang and Ye Jin, were taken along. Each of the three mounted a fine horse and rode out of the capital at full speed.
"Do you know where Chu Liuxiang's sailboat is?" Jin Banff asked.
Liao Gang and Ye Jin were startled and looked at each other.
"Sailboat? What sailboat?" Liao Gang asked. "Young Master, you... don't plan to find Chu Liuxiang, do you?"
Ye Jin shook his head quickly. "Chu Liuxiang's whereabouts are unpredictable, and only a handful of people in the world have ever seen him, let alone know where he lives. How did you find out that he lives on a sailboat?"
Jin Banff turned to Liao Gang. "The Shaolin Sect doesn't know Chu Liuxiang's whereabouts either?"
Liao Gang was an external disciple of the Shaolin Sect, and his fists were quite accomplished. However, he could only smile wryly at this question. "Perhaps the abbot knows, but I truly have no idea."
Liao Gang felt bitter inside. He was just an ordinary external disciple of the Shaolin Sect, trying to make a living in the jianghu by providing security for wealthy families. He had only learned a couple of Shaolin fist techniques.
Seeing Jin Banff looking at him, Ye Jin shook his head again. "My friends in the jianghu don't know either!"
Ye Jin practiced the Northern Twelve Kicks, and his legs were as strong as iron. His kicks were as swift as the wind, which had caught the eye of Master Jin, who hired him as a bodyguard. He had also taught this skill to Jin Banff, so he was like a half-master to her.
"Alright." Jin Banff nodded, neither surprised nor disappointed. At the same time, she couldn't help but sigh, recalling her first time crossing over.
Chu Liuxiang's sailboat was elusive, but Gong Nanyan of the Water Mother Palace had easily found him and quietly sneaked into his cabin, sitting in his favorite chair.
How did the Water Mother Palace, which rarely appeared in the jianghu, get their information? How did Gong Nanyan do it?
Jin Banff sighed. Why couldn't she just mysteriously know where Chu Liuxiang was and go find him?
After all, Chu Liuxiang had taken her White Jade Beauty!
No matter how you looked at it, she was in the right!
She wanted to make Chu Liuxiang kneel in front of Su Rongrong, Li Hongxiu, and Song Tian'er, forcing him to return her White Jade Beauty!
If he had sold it to subsidize the poor and couldn't return it, then he could compensate her with a real beauty!
