Chapter 638: A Humorous Exchange with Su Rongrong

In the original story, Chu Liuxiang entrusted Su Rongrong to Heizhen Zhu.

However, since Zamuhe's death had already been exposed by Jin Banhua in advance, Heizhen Zhu would never let Nangong Ling leave, especially since the other party had piqued her interest by revealing the true identity of another murderer.

Heizhen Zhu would definitely follow Nangong Ling, and Chu Liuxiang wouldn't feel at ease letting Heizhen Zhu go alone, nor could he possibly bring the unconscious Su Rongrong to meet such a ruthless and terrifying murderer.

At this moment, the only other person he could trust at the scene was Jin Banhua.

Jin Banhua, the wealthy dandy from the capital, was often accompanied by beautiful women, had a fondness for white jade beauties, and was Chu Liuxiang's creditor.

At this moment, he wore a mischievous smile.

Chu Liuxiang nodded and smiled, "Although Jin Xian may be annoyed with me, he has a strong sense of justice in his heart and would never take advantage of someone in distress. I am very relieved to leave Rongrong in your care, Jin Xian, especially since...

I still owe you a white jade beauty. Since I already owe you a debt, I don't mind owing you another favor."

Seeing that Nangong Ling and Heizhen Zhu had already left, Nangong Ling displaying lightwork and Heizhen Zhu riding a fine steed in pursuit, Chu Liuxiang dared not wait any longer. He helped Su Rongrong steady herself on a chair, then retreated and, in the blink of an eye, leaped out the window and disappeared.

Jin Banhua watched as Chu Liuxiang vanished from sight, his mind filled with thoughts.

He had originally intended to follow Chu Liuxiang, remind him of Wuhua's identity, and then head to Putian Shaolin Temple together to meet Master Tianfeng, observe Chu Liuxiang's battle with Wuhua, and finally deliver a fatal blow to Wuhua.

However, plans often pale in the face of change. Heizhen Zhu had left first, and Chu Liuxiang had entrusted Su Rongrong to him.

At this moment, he really didn't dare to hand Su Rongrong over to Liao Gang and Ye Jin. What if Wuhua suddenly appeared? Su Rongrong would be in grave danger.

Moreover...

While following Chu Liuxiang was fine, he had no interest in venturing to Putian Shaolin Temple alone.

Additionally, Su Rongrong was indeed much more interesting than Wuhua. Wasn't that right?

Thus, Jin Banhua quietly sat in the main hall of the Fragrant Hall, waiting for a moment before seeing the girl on the chair stir slightly.

Was she awake? In that case...

"Hehehe..." Jin Banhua stroked his chin and laughed sinisterly, "Liao Gang, Ye Jin, what do you think of this little girl?"

Liao Gang and Ye Jin exchanged glances, unsure what their young master was thinking.

"Chu Liuxiang stole my White Jade Beauty. I heard he sold it to some unknown wealthy aristocrat in Jiangnan, and it was collected into a hidden chamber, never to be seen again. I suppose I can't get it back now..."

Jin Banhua clicked his tongue, "Since that's the case, it's only reasonable for me to take one of his maidservants as compensation, isn't it?"

Liao Gang and Ye Jin: ???

"After all, my White Jade Beauty is worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. This little girl might be worth a thousand taels at most." Jin Banhua smiled maliciously, "With this calculation, Chu Liuxiang got the better deal!"

Liao Gang and Ye Jin: !!!

"From now on, she will serve me by pouring tea and fetching water, making my bed and folding my blankets, fanning me and washing my feet. I'll keep her busy every day and won't even pay her a monthly salary!" Jin Banhua said viciously, "I'll make up for the difference in the value between her and my White Jade Beauty!"

"Pfft!"

Su Rongrong couldn't help but laugh out loud. She opened her eyes and looked at Jin Banhua, "May I ask if you are the renowned Jin Banhua, the young master from the capital?"

"Oh? You're awake?"

Jin Banhua raised his eyebrows, then suddenly slapped his thigh in anger, "You recognized me as the owner of the White Jade Beauty as soon as you heard its name? How despicable of Chu Liuxiang to spread the story of him stealing my White Jade Beauty everywhere! Truly detestable!"

Liao Gang and Ye Jin exchanged glances once more.

Wasn't it their young master who had been spreading this story everywhere?

"That's not it," Su Rongrong giggled softly, "Chu gege said that you are straightforward and kind-hearted, a rare chivalrous youth who upholds justice."

"Well now, giving me four compliments in one go, are you trying to overwhelm me with praise?" Jin Banhua arched an eyebrow, "I just don't believe that Chu Liuxiang would speak well of me behind my back. You truly are a clever maidservant, knowing just what to say."

Su Rongrong gently pursed her red lips and smiled, "Chu gege told me all about it. He said he regrets taking your White Jade Beauty and plans to personally go to Jiangnan to find that statue and return it to you, no matter what."

Jin Banhua was surprised, "It's one thing to say a few nice words, but how can you speak on behalf of Chu Liuxiang like that? Are you his maidservant, or is he your servant?"

Su Rongrong's face was earnest, "Chu gege told me all this himself. If you don't believe me, you can ask him when he returns."

Jin Banhua pointed at Su Rongrong and said to Liao Gang and Ye Jin, "Look at how clever she is, using her words to stall for time. With her wit, she's worth at least another two hundred taels."

Jin Banhua's laughter faded, and he leaned closer to Su Rongrong, his voice sinister, "Do you know what Chu Liuxiang is up to?"

Su Rongrong's eyes shifted, "He went out with Nangong Ling?"

"Correct!" Jin Banhua snapped his fingers, "Nangong Ling invited Chu Liuxiang out to join forces with another murderer and ambush him. I wonder if Chu Liuxiang will make it back alive. What do you think?"

Finally, a hint of panic flashed in Su Rongrong's eyes, but it quickly faded, and she regained her composure.

When she had exchanged information with Chu Liuxiang earlier, she had already deduced that this murderer was ruthless, cunning, and treacherous.

However, she also had confidence in Chu Liuxiang. Now that they had uncovered Nangong Ling as one of the murderers, with caution, Chu Liuxiang should be fine.

"The opponent is quite formidable. Not only does he possess mastery over the Nine Great Ninja Techniques and the Gale-Force Slash, but he has also pilfered the Heavenly Water from the Divine Water Temple..."

Most importantly, he hasn't even revealed his true martial arts style yet, which shows that his skills are at least as high as a three or four-story building."

Su Rongrong was getting more and more anxious as he spoke, but his last sentence almost made her laugh.

Seeing Jin Banhua's relaxed demeanor, Su Rongrong turned and asked playfully, "But now that you also know about Nangong Ling's plot, aren't you afraid that they might kill Chu gege?"

"Pfft!" Jin Banhua scoffed, "What's there to fear about a couple of hooligans, a beggar, and a middle-aged thief causing a ruckus? How could they compare to me?"

Jin Banhua waved the sword in his hand proudly, "Do you know that I've been studying martial arts for ten years, hiring countless renowned martial arts masters from the capital and learning countless top-notch martial arts skills?

If that murderer's skills are as high as a three or four-story Xiu Yu Lou, then mine are at least as high as the Tian Ning Temple's pagoda! Hahaha..."

Su Rongrong looked at the lavish sword sheath adorned with eighteen gems in Jin Banhua's hand and listened to his boastful words, falling silent.

She suddenly realized that Chu Liuxiang's decision to entrust her to such a spoiled young master might have been his only option.

In that case, was his situation truly dangerous?
