Chapter 639: Finally, on Chu Liuxiang's Boat
Chapter 639: Finally, on Chu Liuxiang's Boat
As Jin Banflower laughed and Su Rongrong panicked, Black Pearl returned.
Alone.
"Is Chu Liuxiang not coming back?" Jin Banflower asked with a smile.
Facing Su Rongrong's expectant gaze, Black Pearl snorted, "He's dead!"
Liao Gang and Ye Jin turned pale with shock, and Su Rongrong's heart skipped a beat, feeling her brain go dizzy and almost fainting.
Seeing Su Rongrong's pale face and pitiful appearance, Black Pearl pouted, "Nangong Ling is dead!"
"Ah?" Su Rongrong raised her head in surprise.
Jin Banflower sighed, "Next time, can you just say things clearly at once? If you scare this little girl to death, I'll really have lost everything."
Black Pearl frowned, "What do you mean by 'lost everything'?"
"If Chu Liuxiang doesn't return my White Jade Beauty, I'll take one of the beauties by his side as compensation!" Jin Banflower said matter-of-factly.
Black Pearl looked at Su Rongrong, then at Jin Banflower, "I still think those girls from Beijing are more suitable for you."
Jin Banflower nodded, "Those girls are definitely better at serving people than her. If you really want to take this girl as compensation, she'll need some training first. But it's no problem, I have plenty of maids in my mansion."
Black Pearl was speechless for a moment, "Aren't you curious about how Nangong Ling died, or where Chu Liuxiang went?"
"Oh yes, how did Nangong Ling die? And where did Chu Liuxiang go?" Jin Banflower asked.
Su Rongrong stared intently at Black Pearl.
Black Pearl said, "Nangong Ling brought me and Chu Liuxiang to a painted boat by Daming Lake, where candles were already lit and food and wine were prepared."
"How long had the candles been burning?" Su Rongrong asked.
"Ah?" Black Pearl was taken aback, she hadn't paid attention to that detail. After thinking about it, she still had no impression, so she glanced at Su Rongrong and coldly humphed, "Why should I pay attention to that? What does it have to do with what I'm about to say?"
Su Rongrong softly explained, "From the time the candles were lit, we can infer how long the murderer prepared, whether they're still nearby, or even if they were here just now."
"Why bother with such judgments? As long as he shows up, we can just kill him!" Black Pearl said angrily.
Su Rongrong weakly nodded and fell silent.
Black Pearl turned to Jin Banflower, "Nangong Ling trusted that person deeply and had great confidence in him. He said that person told him if he couldn't resolve this matter, he should lead the enemy to that boat."
"But the murderer didn't show up." Jin Banflower smiled, "The murderer did resolve the problem, didn't he? Is that why he killed Nangong Ling, to cut off the trail leading to him?"
"Did you guess that?" Black Pearl asked.
"Is it hard to guess?" Jin Banflower retorted.
"It's a pity that Nangong Ling was too foolish. He completely trusted that person and even relaxed his guard, using the food and wine on the boat," Black Pearl coldly smiled, "In that cup of wine, there was Tian Yi Shen Shui!"
"So the trail is broken again?" Jin Banflower asked.
"Broken, but not completely." Black Pearl was somewhat indifferent, and also a little angry, "Chu Liuxiang suspects that the person who adopted Nangong Ling's brother is a major figure in the Mingzhe martial arts world, so he stole my horse and headed south to Mingzhe."
Jin Banflower laughed heartily, "I knew he was a thief! He stole my White Jade Beauty, then your Spirit Black Horse, and now we're both victims."
Black Pearl said coldly, "Are you happy to be a victim?"
Jin Banflower's smile faded, "I suppose I shouldn't be happy about it."
Black Pearl's face turned grim, and she said to Su Rongrong, "Chu Liuxiang said that my father's body is preserved in Ludong Hongshi Cliff, and he asked me to find someone called Li Tuozi to lead me to you. But since you haven't left yet, I don't need to go to that trouble."
Su Rongrong immediately nodded. "Yes."
Black Pearl clenched her fists tightly, her expression filled with sorrow, and her eyes reddened. "Take me to see my father!"
Su Rongrong's eyes showed a hint of sympathy, and she reached out to hold Black Pearl's hand, comforting her softly. "Sister, please take care."
Black Pearl was startled and immediately withdrew her hand. "What did you say?"
Su Rongrong smiled. "Chu is a bit slow, but Sister, although you have a heroic demeanor and are no less than any man, you are indeed a proper young lady."
Black Pearl couldn't help but glance at Jin Banflower, only to see him looking her up and down.
"What are you looking at?" Black Pearl asked, narrowing her eyes.
"I didn't see anything." Jin Banflower shook her head.
Black Pearl was taken aback, her cheeks turning red as she instinctively reached for her whip.
Of course, she couldn't reach for the whip, as it had been broken.
"Ahem, let's get down to business. Chu Liuxiang stole your horse and headed towards Minzhe, right?" Jin Banflower asked.
"Yes! Do you want to go with me?" Black Pearl asked.
"Minzhe is so big. How can I find him?" Jin Banflower shook her head. "Of course, I'll go with you to Ludong Hongshi Cliff, to Chu Liuxiang's boat, and wait for him there."
"If he doesn't return my White Jade Beauty, I'll stay on his boat and never leave!" Jin Banflower declared boldly.
The corners of Su Rongrong's mouth curved up. "Welcome, Jin."
After hearing the conversation between Black Pearl and Jin Banflower, she knew that Jin had been trying to scare her earlier. Chu Liuxiang had also mentioned this person to her before, saying that although he was a bit of a playboy, he was indeed not a bad person, especially since...
It was indeed Chu Liuxiang who had stolen someone's White Jade Beauty, wasn't it?
"Let's go, let's go!" Jin Banflower rubbed his hands together. "He came to steal from my home, so I'll steal from his home. Fair and square, reasonable!"
Black Pearl asked Su Rongrong, "Can you walk normally now?"
"Of course!" Su Rongrong stood up and smiled. "We can set off at any time now."
...
Ludong Hongshi Cliff faced Laizhou Bay and was situated across the sea from Laizhou Bay. The scenery was beautiful, and the environment was pleasant.
Following Su Rongrong, Jin Banflower soon spotted a three-masted sailboat moored not far from the coast.
With Li Tuozi's fishing boat as a ferry, they reached the boat and saw two heads poking out from the deck.
"Has Chu not come back yet?"
"Did Sister Rong bring friends back?"
"Pearl Sister and Jin are both friends." Su Rongrong waved to them. "Brother hasn't come back yet. He went to Minzhe."
"He went to Minzhe without me. When he comes back, I won't cook delicious food for him!"
Black Pearl stared blankly at the petite girl speaking on the deck, but unfortunately, she couldn't understand a word she said.
"Sweetie, we have guests. Can you speak the official language?" Su Rongrong asked.
"Hehe, sorry, I'm used to it. You're friends of Chu, so I'll make delicious food for you!"
The girl speaking was all smiles, and as she became happier, her two long braids swayed. Her cute melon-seeded face and clear, distinct big eyes made her look both charming and playful.
Standing next to her was another girl in a bright red skirt. Her hair was loose, her jade-like legs were long, and her eyes sparkled with a calm light as she smiled and politely sized up Black Pearl and Jin Banflower.
These two were naturally Song Tian'er and Li Hongxiu.
