Fragrant Killing 4-6 (Martial Arts Science Fiction Adult Novel)

Chapter 4: The Prostitute and the Female Policeman

Yu Linglong's boudoir is located in the quietest courtyard in the entire "Yichunyuan". Both the outside environment and the furnishings in the room appear elegant and unique.

Ren Dongjie looked around the room, nodded slightly, and felt very satisfied.

Judging from the decoration of this boudoir, Yu Linglong is indeed a woman of great taste. She is by no means a vulgar woman like those in an ordinary brothel. She is even more extraordinary and refined than many well-educated ladies from noble families.

After Cui Huhua brought him in, she left without saying a word. After serving him a cup of hot tea, the maid quietly left, leaving him alone sitting in the room, killing time in boredom.

"You are Yu Linglong! You are even more arrogant than I thought." Ren Dongjie said to himself, "Even if you were forced to agree to meet me due to the situation, you still deliberately made me wait for such a long time."

His mind turned, and he suddenly realized that Yu Linglong did this not necessarily to show off. If she was really the murderer of last night's bloody incident, then she was most likely using this opportunity to hint to him that this matter was of no importance to him at all, so there was no need for him to rush to please him in a hurry.

Of course, there is another possibility that Yu Linglong deliberately delayed time in order to gather her accomplices to discuss countermeasures and prepare to give herself a surprise blow!

Thinking of this, Ren Dongjie suddenly became more sober and his head was no longer hot. But at the same time, deep in his heart he was looking forward to meeting Yu Linglong and seeing what kind of beautiful lady she was.

He didn't know how long it had been, but just when he was about to lose his temper, he heard soft and soothing footsteps outside the door.

After a moment, the curtain was pulled aside, and the famous prostitute in the brothel, who was famous for her sex life and had bewitched all the men in the city, finally appeared.

Ren Dongjie looked up when he heard the voice, and immediately cheered in his heart - Yu Linglong did not disappoint him, and was even better than he expected.

She has an oval face with classical beauty, picturesque eyebrows, and a pair of beautiful eyes with distinct black and white under her long eyelashes. There was no makeup on her plain face, and no other decoration on her body, except for a pair of pearls inlaid on her small earlobes.

She had obviously just taken a shower, her hair was wet with water droplets, her tender cheeks were as white and rosy as a lotus flower emerging from the water, and her body exuded the unique fragrance that comes from just after the bath.

She was wearing a soft, fitted gauze, looking charming yet dignified, with a graceful and graceful figure, just like her name, "Linglong". A pair of snow-white naked feet were revealed under the skirt, firmly attracting the men's attention.

However, her most fascinating aspect is the lazy and mature amorous feelings and the strong feminine charm in her gestures, which are like a catalyst of lust, making people want to commit crimes at first sight...

Ren Dongjie was staring at her intently, and she was also gazing at him. Her bright eyes moved over him a few times, and her red lips gently opened: "Sir, what is your name?"

Ren Dongjie said casually: "Miss Yu already knows who I am, why bother asking when you already know the answer?"

Yu Linglong made a surprised expression and said, "Oh? What do you mean?"

Ren Dongjie smiled and said casually, "Miss Yu must have found out my identity, so when she was observing me just now, her eyes stayed on my famous hands for a moment longer. Isn't that the case?"

A strange look flashed across Yu Linglong's face, as if she was a little impressed, but also a little wary, but she immediately returned to her normal state and said nonchalantly, "Mr. Ren, you have such a keen insight. I admire you."

Ren Dongjie said casually, "No, no. Miss Yu is very quick-witted. She investigated a sudden visitor like me in just the time it took to take a shower. I admire her very much."

Yu Linglong glanced at him, then slowly walked to the corner of the room and sat down lightly on the edge of the bed.

The way she sat was also very beautiful, and her graceful demeanor carried an indescribable sense of comfort that was pleasing to the eye.

Ren Dongjie suddenly understood why those clients spent huge amounts of money, even spending all their fortunes, just to dream of possessing her. This is simply because Yu Linglong does have a unique appeal.

She didn't go out of her way to seduce him. She just sat there quietly, staring at him quietly, without saying anything and without making any movements. However, she was more alluring than all the flirtatious movements and words in the world combined!

"Mr. Ren, let's be frank!" She suddenly spoke, frowning her beautiful eyebrows, "I don't understand what you meant by writing those words to me!"

Ren Dongjie spread his hands and said regretfully: "Miss Yu, since you praise me for my keen observation, you should know that lying in front of someone like me is really unwise."

Yu Linglong's face flushed red instantly. She didn't know whether she was angry or embarrassed. She refuted rudely, "How do you know I'm lying? You're just being too smart!"

Ren Dongjie smiled and said in a mocking tone: "If you were not guilty, how could Miss Yu, who is famous for her noble status, suddenly change her temper and specially call a poor and lonely ghost like me to your boudoir?"

As he spoke, he looked at Yu Linglong's sexy figure with a straightforward gaze, without any scruples.

That lustful look was full of ambiguity, as if he treated her as a completely naked woman.

Yu Linglong was very unhappy being looked at. Ever since she became famous, although the clients had been raping her with their eyes in secret, no one had been as shameless as the man in front of her, who dared to look at her so blatantly and presumptuously in front of her!

She frowned, her brows covered with a layer of frost, and said coldly: "Mr. Ren, please don't beat around the bush! Why don't you just tell me what you want to say?"

Ren Dongjie narrowed his eyes, admiring her anger-tinged charming and cold appearance, and said slowly: "My purpose is not simple, but first I want to find out why Lü Wenhou was killed?"

"Hehe..." Yu Linglong suddenly laughed sweetly, like the shaking branches of a flower. The plump lines of her chest also trembled violently, with a bit of a bohemian taste.

When she doesn't smile, she is just a cold "wooden beauty". But when she smiles, she is really lively and charming. Every detail of her body seems to be radiating a primitive temptation!

If a man is not fascinated by it, he must be blind.

Ren Dongjie was a little embarrassed by the laughter and couldn't help asking, "What are you laughing at, Miss Yu?"

"I'm laughing, Master Ren, you don't know the rules of the martial arts world!" Yu Linglong took a while to stop smiling, stretched out her hand to gently gather her loose hair, glanced at him and said calmly, "Words are not enough. If you want to designate me as the murderer, you must first show evidence! Master Ren, do you have any key evidence?"

Ren Dongjie was very clear in his mind. At this point he was 100% sure that Yu Linglong was involved in last night's murder. She asked herself this question in order to test how many cards she held in her hand.

"Of course I have evidence!" He stared at her with his eyes, sharp and pointed, as if he could see directly into the depths of her heart. "Don't forget, when Miss Yu went to Xiaoxiang Villa last night, I happened to be there too."

"So that's how it is!" Yu Linglong's beautiful eyes wandered, and she said with a half-smile, "But I don't know why Master Ren happened to be in the other courtyard. Could he be looking for some married woman to have an affair?"

Ren Dongjie blinked and said leisurely, "You guessed it right! I am a playboy. And the playboy's best trick is to find beautiful women to have an affair."

He suddenly lowered his voice and winked, "Miss Yu, are you interested in giving it a try? I promise to satisfy you!"

Yu Linglong laughed sweetly and said with flowing eyes, "Master Ren, I have already said that it depends on how much you know and whether you can produce sufficient evidence!"

She crossed her legs and placed her bare white feet on the edge of the bed. I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but the skirt was lifted up a little, revealing a small piece of white, flawless, and slender crystal legs.

Ren Dongjie was so fascinated by the sight that he really wanted to throw himself onto the bed, press this gorgeous beauty under him, explore her wonderful body, smell her elegant body fragrance like orchid, and then conquer her completely!

But the prerequisite for doing so is that I must first defeat her and let her understand that deception and confrontation will never succeed, and the only way out is to cooperate with me obediently.

"At midnight yesterday, Miss Yu went to Xiaoxiang Villa to visit Marquis Lü Wen, and she was accompanied by three other companions." Ren Dongjie saw the right opportunity and decisively played his first card. "Marquis Lü Wen was one of Miss Yu's admirers. When he heard that Ni Fang was coming, he was so happy that he lost his guard and was easily subdued by you in the study."

Yu Linglong's delicate body suddenly trembled, and a look of surprise and admiration flashed across her eyes again, but on the surface she remained calm and said calmly, "Really?"

Ren Dongjie saw her weakness and played his second card: "After entering the study, one of your accomplices blocked the door, and another blocked the window. You and the other person chatted with Lü Wenhou across the desk."

Yu Linglong's face suddenly turned pale, and the admiration in her beautiful eyes turned into shock. She said in a lost voice: "You...how did you know?"

She started to lose her composure! I can no longer maintain the calmness I just had!

Ren Dongjie's confidence increased greatly, and his expression became more confident and calm. A lazy, unfathomable smile hung on the corner of his mouth, and he said slowly: "When you committed the crime last night, I was spying outside the study, how could I not know?"

"You're lying!" Yu Linglong yelled, beads of sweat oozing from the tip of her pretty nose. She blurted out, "We checked carefully last night, and there was clearly no one around the study..."

Ren Dongjie suddenly interrupted her and said in a deep voice: "Very good! Miss Yu, you finally admitted it yourself. You did go to the crime scene last night."

"So what?" Yu Linglong bit her lip fiercely. Suddenly, something moved in her heart. She stared at Ren Dongjie suspiciously and said, "You just guessed all this. You didn't actually see it with your own eyes, right?"

Ren Dongjie secretly thought that this was not good. If this beautiful woman rebuilt her defenses at this time, it would be difficult to force her to surrender. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "Of course I saw it with my own eyes, otherwise how could I know the truth!"

Yu Linglong stared at him without blinking, a smile appeared on her pretty face, a very charming smile, but her eyes were still cold, she said slowly: "If that's the case, why didn't you stop the killing at the time, and why didn't you arrest us at the scene?"

Ren Dongjie said sternly, "Please! I am neither a hero who helps others in need nor a detective in charge of catching criminals. Why should I take risks? Besides, one of you is experienced in fighting, one is skilled in palmistry, and the other is a murderer who kills without blinking an eye. He took Lü Wenhou's life with one move! If I rush out rashly, you will kill me too."

He said this very calmly, and played the third card without leaving any trace. The purpose is to make Yu Linglong believe that it is because he witnessed the whole process that he can describe all the details in such detail.

Yu Linglong took a deep breath and said calmly, "Even if you really saw it with your own eyes, so what? You still have no evidence to accuse me in court!"

"Miss Yu, you really underestimate me!" Ren Dongjie laughed and said seriously, "If I didn't have decisive evidence in my hands, why would I be so presumptuous to come and disturb you?"

Yu Linglong turned pale and suddenly screamed, "I don't believe it... You will never find evidence, absolutely not!"

"I'm so sorry, I just happened to find it." Ren Dongjie lied calmly, "In fact, you all didn't notice that before Lv Wenhou died, he knew that he couldn't escape the catastrophe, so he secretly pierced his right index finger and wrote your name on the bottom of the desk with blood..."

He paused for a moment and said calmly, "I have cut off the tabletop and placed it in a secret place. If necessary, you can hand it over to the head of the police station in this city at any time..."

After hearing this, Yu Linglong seemed unable to sit still any longer. She leaned weakly on the bed rail, and for the first time, a strong sense of frustration arose in her heart. Since entering the house and confronting this man, whether it was open argument or veiled sarcasm, she has always been at a disadvantage.

After a long while, she gradually came back to her senses, brushed her hair, and uttered a few words softly: "Master Ren, I lost!"

＊＊＊ ＊＊＊ ＊＊＊ ＊＊＊

"Dang" a crisp metal collision sound was heard, and the long sword in Xie Jian's hand hit the octagonal hammer in Dillon's hand for the seventh time!

The two had already fought fiercely for 315 moves in the open space outside the yard, but there was still no winner!

There was a little sweat on Xie Jian's forehead, but his sword moves did not show any sign of stagnation. The long sword made of fine steel was like a dragon from the sky, attacking the opponent's vital points at every opportunity.

Surprisingly, this young man's martial arts were not as flashy as his fellow people's, and each move had its own rules and regulations. It was obvious that he had been under the guidance of a wise master and had put in a lot of hard work.

The two hammers were dancing like a whirlwind! A whirlwind that can sweep the earth!

Di let out thunderous roars from time to time. Wherever his two hammers passed, no matter if it was a hard stone railing or a thick tree, it was smashed to pieces. The sound was extremely shocking!

But he was never able to hit Xie Jian's head, and Xie Jian's sword was unable to stab him.

Most of the clients in Yichunyuan had come out upon hearing the noise and were crowding on their respective floors to watch the fierce fight.

The man named Peng was also watching from afar, with a gloating expression on his face. He said disdainfully: "When the snipe and the clam quarrel, the fisherman benefits. These two fools are fighting over the beauty here, and the beauty may have fallen into the arms of someone else. I wonder what they are fighting for?"

The elegant scholar who was waiting to be summoned by Yu Linglong was shocked when he heard this and said disapprovingly: "Brother Peng, are you saying that Miss Yu will look at this guest differently? I don't think so."

The man named Peng sneered and said, "That's because you don't know who he is! Hehe, others may not recognize him, but I do! That man is a famous pervert, and few women can escape his Five Fingers Mountain."

The elegant scholar was about to speak when he suddenly heard a loud voice from outside the venue, shouting, "Stop!"

The figure in front of him swayed, and a heavy mace and a golden dragon whip appeared at the same time, rushing into the battle circle like lightning, blocking the octagonal hammer and the long sword together!

"The Iron Chief has issued an order! No knives or guns are allowed in the city. Anyone who violates this order will be arrested!"

Xie Jian put away his sword and stood up, looking quite dissatisfied. He sneered, "Iron Constable! Hey, it's this Iron Constable again! He's so arrogant, he doesn't even give me face..."

He suddenly remembered something and turned to the two officials and said, "You two have come at the right time. This man is a big robber. He was the one who robbed the offering 'Blood Jade Phoenix'. You should catch him quickly!"

The two officials bowed and said in a neither arrogant nor humble manner: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your forgiveness. We are just following orders. Whether to arrest or not depends on the order of the Iron Chief."

Xie Jian stamped his feet in anger, turned around and glared at Dillon, saying viciously: "You got away with it this time. If you run into me in the future, you won't be so lucky."

Dillon laughed out loud, looking quite contemptuous, but said nothing more.

Xie Jian returned to the lobby, looked around, and suddenly changed color and asked, "Where is Miss Yu? Has she left?"

Someone responded, "Miss Yu has chosen the young man who was so arrogant just now, and said she would entertain him personally in her boudoir."

A gleam of jealousy and hatred flashed in Xie Jian's eyes, and his hand clenched the hilt of the sword again!

＊＊＊ ＊＊＊ ＊＊＊ ＊＊＊

Is there anything in this world that can make a man feel more accomplished than conquering a proud beauty?

Ren Dongjie showed a winner's smile, but said calmly: "Miss Yu, are you finally willing to admit it? You are indisputably responsible for Marquis Lü Wen's death!"

Yu Linglong sighed, her face full of helplessness, and she curled her lips and said, "What's the point of denying in front of a smart man like you?"

She suddenly changed the subject and asked doubtfully, "However, since you have the evidence in your hand, why don't you report it to the government? What is your purpose in coming here? Can you tell me now?"

Ren Dongjie said leisurely: "I said before, I am not a constable, nor a hero. In my eyes, it is often more practical to gain some benefits for myself than to uphold justice and fairness for others."

Yu Linglong's eyes lit up, and she stared at Ren Dongjie for a moment, then suddenly let out a giggle.

This time her smile was full of charming charm, without the coldness from before.

"Mr. Ren, I didn't expect you to come here to blackmail me." She smiled very sweetly and said, "That's great. As long as you are willing to negotiate the price, everything will be much easier."

Ren Dongjie also smiled and reminded: "I'm afraid the price I want is too high, and Miss Yu may not be able to afford it."

Yu Linglong's smile was even more charming, and her pretty face was like a blooming flower. She stepped off the bed, walked a few light steps on the ground with her bare feet, and picked up a small jewelry box from the dressing table.

She opened the box, took out an exquisite pure gold bead flower from it, and threw it over gently.

Ren Dongjie took it casually and laughed, "What is this? Is this a token of love given to me by Miss Yu?"

Yu Linglong glanced at him and said sternly, "You can keep it as a token of love, or you can take it to the 'Dafeng Bank' in the city and withdraw 500,000 taels of silver with it!"

Ren Dongjie was startled and said in a lost voice: "What? Did I hear it wrong?"

"You heard it right!" Yu Linglong said calmly, "A full five hundred thousand taels of silver, as long as Master Ren is willing to accept it, it will all be yours."

Ren Dongjie was stunned. Seeing that Yu Linglong was serious, he knew she was not joking. He murmured, "Could it be that my luck has turned recently and I am destined to get rich?"

Yu Linglong smiled sweetly and said, "Everyone will have good fortune sooner or later, so why is this surprising? Of course, what are the conditions for the exchange? Mr. Ren is a smart man, so I don't need to explain it to you!"

Ren Dongjie thought for a moment and shook his head.

Yu Linglong's face changed and she asked, "Why? Master Ren, do you think it's too little?"

"That's not the case! In fact, I don't care about whether I have good fortune or not." Ren Dongjie glanced at the beautiful woman and said with a smile, "For a playboy like me, what I want more is good luck in love... Miss Yu, do you understand?"

Yu Linglong only heard half of it when two red clouds appeared on her cheeks, making her look indescribably charming. She glanced at Ren Dongjie out of the corner of her eye, with a half-smile on her pretty face, and it was unclear whether it was anger or shyness.

"I understand, Master Ren." She frowned and said calmly, "You want me, right?"

"Right." Ren Dongjie smiled very proudly, like a complete pervert, "Not to mention me, which man in the whole city doesn't want to have a kiss on Miss Yu? Now that I finally have such an opportunity, only a fool would let it go. I wonder if Miss Yu is willing to agree?"

Yu Linglong bit her lower lip and said, "How can I not agree? Now you are the winner, and I am the spoils in your hands. The loser can only be threatened and manipulated by others!"

"I have no choice but to use this to threaten you." Ren Dongjie stared at her beautiful face and sighed, "I didn't want to take advantage of someone's misfortune, but Miss Yu, you are so irresistible, so I have no choice but to be a shameless person."

He paused, and suddenly said seriously: "I don't want your huge amount of money. As long as Miss Yu is willing to give me a passionate kiss with all her heart and explain the whole story, then I promise that I will never reveal the truth to anyone!"

This time it was Yu Linglong's turn to be surprised. She asked in astonishment, "What?"

This man made a special trip to ask for a meeting, and after so much effort and persuasion, he finally forced me to surrender and let him do whatever he wanted. But what he wanted to "blackmail" was just a passionate kiss!

How could there be such people in this world? Yu Linglong could hardly believe her ears. She shook her head and groaned, "You are not...you are not joking, are you?"

"Of course not." Ren Dongjie said calmly, "Please remember that I am a playboy, not a shameless rapist. A playboy will never force a woman to sleep with him, because this is one of the standard demeanors of a playboy."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly rushed forward, and in the blink of an eye he was in front of Yu Linglong, about to bump into her.

Yu Linglong couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice, before she could react. Ren Dongjie's steps suddenly stopped, his body was only half an inch away from her towering breasts, his calculation was exactly right!

She only felt a burning sensation on her face, the other person's warm breath sprayed over her, and a strong masculine scent also entered her nose. Her heart suddenly became confused, and she subconsciously stepped back. Unexpectedly, as soon as she moved her delicate body, a hand suddenly appeared on her slender waist, just stopping her from retreating.

"Miss Yu..." Ren Dongjie stretched out his other hand, lifted up Yu Linglong's delicate chin, and raised her beautiful face. He said softly, "My little request is not too much, don't you think?"

Yu Linglong gave him a look that seemed both angry and happy, her cheeks flushed as if they were covered with rouge. Besides a hint of shyness, there was more charm in her beautiful eyes.

She nodded in his hand, her seductive lips trembling slightly, and she said in a moving voice: "Well...that's not too much."

At such a close distance, as soon as she opened her mouth, a fragrant breath came out, like musk and orchid, which made people feel intoxicated.

Ren Dongjie's blood boiled and he could no longer maintain his "playboy demeanor". He suddenly lowered his head and kissed those two beautiful lips!

Yu Linglong let out a "hmm" sound, and her lips were sealed tightly. Almost like a conditioned reflex, her lips immediately became hot and she responded with the most enthusiastic reaction.

Ren Dongjie kissed her unceremoniously and sucked on her wet red lips, while his tongue skillfully probed into her mouth. The moment the tip of his tongue touched Yu Linglong's sweet tongue, both of their bodies began to tremble as if they were electrocuted.

They couldn't help but kiss more passionately, their tongues entangled more thoroughly, and they let out passionate gasps and moans from time to time. It was as if they were releasing all the longings and desires hidden deep in each other's hearts through the exchange of lips and tongues.

It was a suffocating long kiss. The four hot lips reluctantly separated after a long while.

Yu Linglong gently broke free from Ren Dongjie's embrace, brushed her hair that was messy due to the passionate kiss, pursed her lips and smiled sweetly, looking even more charming.

Ren Dongjie sighed in his heart and suddenly felt very annoyed. He regretted that he should not have pretended to be magnanimous and just let such a small moment of intimacy count.

Now, he wanted to possess Yu Linglong more than ever before. He wanted to get the charming body under the veil and enjoy the feeling of galloping inside her body. That must be a pleasure that would drive him crazy!

But he couldn't take back what he had said, so he could only suppress his lust and said briefly, "Okay, now tell me the reason why Lü Wenhou was killed, and solve the mystery in my mind, and we will keep our distance from each other from now on.

Yu Linglong looked at him quietly, with a strange expression on her face, as if she was thinking about something.

After a moment, she suddenly smiled and said, "Mr. Ren, I want to renegotiate a deal with you."

Ren Dongjie asked curiously: "Oh? Tell me about it first!"

"That kiss just now is given to you for free." Yu Linglong's pretty face turned red again, and she looked even more charming. She bit her lip and said, "Besides that, not only will the 500,000 taels of silver remain yours, but I am also willing to go to Wushan with you to enjoy the greatest happiness in the world together. What do you think?"

"Really?" Ren Dongjie was overjoyed and asked impatiently, "Then, what are your terms of exchange?"

Yu Linglong said solemnly: "It's very simple! After you get my body and a huge amount of silver, you can no longer ask or investigate anything about last night, and you must leave this city immediately."

Ren Dongjie was stunned and felt very hesitant. It was difficult for him to make a decision for a while.

His lower body had already made his position clear, but his upper body had not lost its rationality, and his mind was full of thoughts.

It seems that the bloody incident that happened last night must involve an extremely important secret. Yu Linglong was willing to sacrifice herself and offer huge bribes in order to keep the secret secret.

Such secrets are usually very scary. If you get involved in them, it is like falling into a trap full of dangers, which may bring you death at any time. Smart people should not get involved in this mess.

What's more, as long as he agrees to leave, he can get millions of wealth without any effort, and also get this stunning beauty. This is a generous condition that is enough to attract any man. But if he doesn't get to the bottom of this secret, will he regret it in the future?

While Ren Dongjie was hesitating, Yu Linglong took action again.

She suddenly twisted her waist, and the thin gauze quickly slipped off her body. Then the smooth and slender pink neck, the knife-like snow-white shoulders, and the large area of ​​fair white skin under the neck were all exposed.

Ren Dongjie's gaze suddenly focused on him, and his eyes seemed to be spitting fire. I saw that most of Yu Linglong's upper body was naked, with only a light yellow bellyband left on her infinitely beautiful body, covering her alluring breasts.

Then, she raised her slender hands, slowly reached behind her back, and untied the straps of her bellyband. Her movements were so slow and gentle, and the movement itself was full of irresistible temptation.

The straps were untied, but the bellyband just trembled and did not fall off. The two plump and upright peaks on her chest naturally pushed the bellyband up high, and it hung on it and swayed.

"What? Mr. Ren, do you want to know the truth, or do you want me?" Her voice became low, full of strange incitement. The half-covered erotic scene leaves more room for imagination than full nudity, making people eager to get a glimpse of the whole picture.

Ren Dongjie's blood boiled, and the honest thoughts in his lower body immediately took over, and he almost blurted out: "I want you! Of course I want you!"

Yu Linglong giggled, and in her charming smile there was a hint of pride and complacency. It seems like she is absolutely confident in her charm and no man in the world can resist her.

As she laughed, her bellyband became more shaky, exposing her snow-white breasts more, as if calling for the man to come and remove the unnecessary restraints...

Just then, there was a loud noise outside, and it seemed that several people were rushing here.

One of the young and energetic ones had the loudest accent and shouted, "It's already past half an hour! Why hasn't Miss Yu sent the guests out yet? This is not normal!"

Ren Dongjie and Yu Linglong both recognized that it was Xie Jian's voice, and were surprised to realize that a lot of time had passed.

Yu Linglong quickly tied her bellyband and quickly put on the tulle again.

Cui Huhua's voice was heard, and she said coldly: "Miss Yu is free to stay with the guests as long as she wants. Why does Master Xie have to meddle in her business?"

Xie Jian said angrily, "I am worried about Miss Yu. I am afraid that she will suffer from the conspiracy of the shameless people! No, I have to go to the room to check it out anyway, otherwise it will be too late to regret if something happens."

Many people nearby said yes, and the chaotic footsteps were getting closer.

Cui Huhua shouted, "Stop! Whoever dares to come over here, I will make him bleed within five steps!"

Yu Linglong lowered her voice and said, "Master Ren, it's impossible now. If I don't go out to stop it, I'm afraid it will lead to unnecessary disaster. If you are willing, wait for me under the Lion Bridge in the south of the city at three o'clock tonight, and then I will definitely let you get what you want."

After saying this, she fixed her eyes with a smile, then walked out like a fairy. Ren Dongjie was the only one left standing there, looking at his irresistible "heroic posture", with a bitter face and a long sigh.

＊＊＊ ＊＊＊ ＊＊＊ ＊＊＊

As soon as Yu Linglong appeared, the people outside the house quieted down and stopped crowding forward. Although the beauty of this famous prostitute in the brothel made them drool, she had an awe-inspiring aura that made them dare not approach her.

Xie Jian coughed dryly, and forced a smile, saying, "Miss Yu, you finally came out! Are you...are you okay? Did that guy do anything to you?"

Yu Linglong bowed slightly and said indifferently, "I am fine, thank you for your concern, Your Highness."

Xie Jian looked at her from the side, and saw that her cheeks were still flushed, and there was an unconcealed spring in the corners of her eyebrows and eyes. He immediately became suspicious and couldn't help asking, "Are you really okay? Where is that guest?"

Yu Linglong's pretty face darkened, and she said unhappily, "Your Highness, are you asking this question in order to control my actions?"

Xie Jian was not amused and said awkwardly: "No, no... I just... just care about you."

Yu Linglong said indifferently: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. That young master has already left. If you don't believe me, Your Highness can go in and take a look."

Xie Jian hesitated, then suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "For Miss Yu's safety, I really need to see it with my own eyes before I can rest assured."

He gritted his teeth, walked around Yu Linglong, and strode into her boudoir. It was so empty inside, how could there be even a human figure? Only the two open windows seemed to be swaying slightly in the autumn breeze...

While he was stunned, Yu Linglong followed him in. Her pretty face was covered with a layer of frost. She said coldly: "Since you don't trust me, why did you come to me?" Her eyes seemed to turn red as she spoke.

Xie Jian was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead. He bowed and said, "No, no... How could I not believe Miss Yu? I was really too worried about your safety. Sorry, sorry... Miss Yu, please understand my infatuation."

Yu Linglong said angrily: "Then why did you bring such a large group of people here? Do you want to force me to submit?"

Xie Jian was speechless. He suddenly jumped up, rushed to the door and yelled, "You bastards, get out of here! Miss Yu likes to be left alone. Anyone who dares to harass her will be killed without mercy!"

The general and the prince were furious. The group of people gathered outside the door had followed him because of his courage. Now they were all scared to death and fled away without a trace.

Xie Jian turned around and said sincerely: "I have scolded them away. Can Miss Yu forgive me now?"

After saying that, he bowed deeply again.

Yu Linglong suddenly burst into laughter, glanced at him, and said in a half-reproachful and half-coquettish tone: "Oh, why are you being so polite, my lord? I was just kidding you. Well, where is that famous painting by Wu Daozi? I'm still waiting for you to explain it to me."

Xie Jian was overjoyed and hurriedly asked his followers to bring the scroll over. He unfolded it on the table and then started talking in a very tasteful manner.

Yu Linglong sat beside him in an elegant posture, listening to him quietly without showing any impatience. She has always known how to deal with men, when to be "hard" and when to be "soft", when to be harsh with him and when to give him a little hope and sweetness.

This is the reason why she, as a famous prostitute, was able to become extremely popular in a short period of time and has not been touched by anyone until now.

＊＊＊ ＊＊＊ ＊＊＊ ＊＊＊

Across the street, only a dozen steps away from Yichunyuan, a noisy group of passers-by, including men, women, young and old, gathered together to look at the new notice posted on the wall.

The notice had just been posted. It was stamped with the seal of the city's prefect. In addition to the neat, black text, there was also a half-length portrait of a person. It was obviously a wanted notice offering a reward.

Everyone looked at it carefully, shook their heads and sighed, with expressions of pity on their faces.

"It turns out that the Marquis surnamed Lu was murdered last night, and his throat was cut in his own study."

"They even dared to kill a noble marquis. This is really against heaven... Alas, the morals of the world are going downhill."

"I heard that the detectives who rushed to the scene saw the murderer, but unfortunately he escaped on the spot. Look, this is what the murderer looks like. If you see him, report him to the police immediately. You can get a reward of 10,000 taels of silver!"

Everyone was busy whispering to each other, and no one thought that the wanted person was right among the crowd.

He was also looking at the reward notice. He was the only one among the people on the street who knew that the person painted in the picture was himself.

"What a shame, what a shame," Ren Dongjie muttered to himself while smiling, "The painting doesn't look like it. It seems that no one can get the ten thousand taels of silver."

Indeed, the portrait on the notice was drawn based on his unkempt and shabby appearance from last night. In addition, it was dark at the time and the other party could not see him clearly, so his facial features were only 30% similar, and his spirit was even worse.

I heard an old man next to me sigh, "This city has been plagued by disasters recently, and horrific murders have occurred one after another. It seems that we have offended some evil spirit, which has led to this bloody disaster."

Ren Dongjie's heart moved, and he clasped his fists towards the old man and said, "Excuse me, old man, what exactly happened in this city recently? Can you tell me about it?"

The old man looked at him for a few times and whispered, "This young man has just entered the city! It's okay to tell you that many murders have occurred here since half a month ago. I heard that all the victims are well-known figures in the underworld. Do you think you are afraid of people?

Ren Dongjie said calmly, "There are constant disputes in the martial arts world, and people can die anytime and anywhere. I'm afraid the government can't do anything about it even if they want to."

The old man smiled bitterly and said, "Isn't it? The government has been clueless. What's even more infuriating is that I don't know which official gave the order to hand over all the six gates of the city to a new female constable. This is really ridiculous!"

At this point, he frowned and said dissatisfiedly, "You think she is just a little girl, what does she know at such a young age? She doesn't want to do needlework, but insists on learning to wield swords and fists like a man. Isn't this ridiculous? She has been busy for so many days, making the whole city a mess, but she hasn't found any clues!"

Ren Dongjie understood immediately after hearing this, and said with great interest: "Yes, how can a girl be a police chief? It's simply child's play. But, what is the name of this female police chief, and does she have a husband?"

The old man said, "Her name is Tie Mulan. She always dresses like a man and has such a bad temper. Who would dare to marry her? If you start an argument, she will kick you and make you somersault. You might even lose half your life!"

Ren Dongjie couldn't help but reach out his hand and touch his butt that had been kicked twice last night. He smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, such a girl is indeed difficult to control. If you are not careful, you will suffer a great loss..."

Before he could finish his words, the old man suddenly pointed to the other end of the long street and whispered to him, "Speak of Cao Cao, and he will be here. Look, young master, the Iron Constable is here!"

Before Ren Dongjie could even wait for him to say a second word, he immediately turned around and looked over.

At the other end of the long street, dust was flying and a strong young horse was galloping towards us, spreading its hooves and rushing over like an arrow.

In the blink of an eye, the green horse rushed forward and was about to crash into the crowd, but suddenly it let out a long neigh, raised its two front hooves high, and stopped abruptly.

Almost at the same time, the knight sitting on the saddle jumped up lightly, turned over and jumped down in a very beautiful posture, and stood steadily on the bluestone road.

What a handsome horse, what a handsome riding, what a handsome man!

No, it should be said that she is a very beautiful person!

Although this knight was dressed in men's clothes, the uniform of a government official, and her posture and movements intentionally imitated those of men, it was still easy for everyone to see that she was 100% a woman!

Because there is no man in the world as handsome as her, so full of vibrant youthful beauty!

She has a pair of big, bright eyes, which always radiate a vigilant light, as if she regards everyone as a potential criminal. But when she looked around, she seemed delicate and pretty. The beauty of her rosy cheeks could not be concealed, and her beauty was fully displayed.

The street was silent for a moment, everyone was staring at her blankly, their eyes were involuntarily attracted by her.

Ren Dongjie was naturally also staring at her, his eyes still sparkling.

The beautiful girl in front of him was indeed the black-robed constable whom he met at Xiaoxiang Villa last night, the girl who chopped him dozens of times and kicked him hard twice!

Although he didn't see her face clearly at that time, he firmly remembered her attractive curves, tall figure, and her heart-beating beautiful legs - few girls had such a pair of legs as strong, well-proportioned, and long as hers.

Now of course he also remembered her name, a name that fits her personality very well - Temulan!

At some point, the crowd suddenly started to get agitated, and a flurry of discussions began to emanate. The focus of discussion, of course, was the sudden appearance of the female detective.

"Is she Tiemulan? Wow, what a little beauty she is. This is the first time I've seen her today."

"Yes! She has just been transferred to this city not long ago. Even for me who lives near the government office, it is very rare for me to see her beautiful face."

"It's not just her beauty. Look at her little mouth, her waist, and her thighs. My God, there's nothing about this beauty that doesn't make people fascinated..."

The voice was not loud, and he spoke quietly, hoping that it would reach the ears of three or five people around him at most. However, Temulan, who was far away, heard it.

She frowned, her pretty face turned red with anger, she puffed out her chest and held her head high, standing straighter. Although she looked strong and fierce on the surface, she was actually feeling aggrieved in her heart.

To my surprise, after more than ten days in office, people still don't see her as a police chief performing her duties, but merely see her as an object of criticism.

Although she longs to attract people's attention and to receive everyone's praise, she does not want people to pay attention only to her face and figure, and praise only the beauty given to her by God!

She is a girl with a very unique way of thinking. Her father originally named her "Tie Mulan", but when she grew up, she felt that the name sounded too feminine and did not match the majestic identity of a constable.

So she took it upon herself to change a word, and this change changed the whole meaning.

You know, the person she admires most is the heroine Hua Mulan, because Hua Mulan has accomplished many great things that many men cannot do! Since she was a child, she vowed to be the Mulan of this era, and to be stronger and braver, like a female fighter made of steel!

So she changed her name to "Tiemulan"!

She was determined to build a career and fame through her own efforts like Hua Mulan, instead of lowering herself to become a plaything to please men by her beauty.

Unfortunately, it is too...too difficult to realize this ideal...

She had just left her master's sect, and as soon as she took office, she encountered many difficult and bloody cases where martial arts figures were killed. And last night at the scene where Lü Wenhou was killed, the murderer actually escaped calmly without a trace despite her full pursuit.

If it were someone else, facing such an unfavorable situation, they would probably have lost confidence long ago, but Temulan gritted her teeth and persevered. She secretly made up her mind to bring the criminals to justice no matter what the cost.

Suddenly, Temulan's body trembled, and she vaguely felt that a figure in the crowd looked familiar.

She quickly opened her eyes wide and looked carefully, and found that it was a man about thirty years old, with only half of his side facing her, and he seemed to be concentrating on looking at the notice on the wall.

This man... look at his body shape, head, and facial features. He is about 70% similar to the murderer I encountered last night!

The more Temulan looked, the more suspicious she became. Her heart began to beat fast and her face flushed with excitement, making her look even more beautiful. There was a sharp light in his eyes, which swept over the man like cold lightning.

An autumn breeze blew, and the chill of late autumn became even stronger. A few beads of sweat suddenly appeared on Ren Dongjie's forehead. He could feel without looking that the beautiful female constable was staring at him, and he couldn't help but feel that something was wrong.

If the other party confirmed that I was the uninvited guest who fought with her last night, then she would definitely think that I was the murderer. Although this misunderstanding can be explained away in the end, it is still too troublesome, not to mention that it involves Madam Taohua's reputation.

Well, among the thirty-six strategies, running away is the best one!

Ren Dongjie made up his mind and turned around to escape, but suddenly a figure moved in front of him. This beautiful female police officer silently rushed over and blocked his way. She said coldly: "Stop!"

stop! You still want to escape?

What a beautiful voice! It was as clear as the sound of a yellow oriole singing out of a valley. Although her tone was deliberately emphasized with a hint of coldness and severity, it still couldn't conceal the tenderness unique to a young girl.

Ren Dongjie was shocked, but he immediately regained his composure and pretended to be shocked and said, "What's wrong? Captain Tie, are you...are you talking to me?"

"Who else could it be other than you?" Temulan put her hands on her hips and sneered, "I have finally found you after searching everywhere for you! I finally recognized you!"

"What? Did the Iron Constable recognize me?" Ren Dongjie was surprised. He was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "I have always only dealt with the girls in Yichun Courtyard. When did I get so lucky that even the most beautiful female constable in this city recognized me? Could it be that we have seen each other somewhere before?"

"Shut up!" Temulan could hear the teasing in his voice, her pretty face couldn't help but blush, but her eyes showed anger, and she shouted, "Don't pretend in front of me! I know you are the person I met last night!"

"Last night? I just remember being drunk, and I didn't know which courtesan's boudoir I went to in a daze." Ren Dongjie simply pretended to be the one who did it, and said with a playful smile, "Ah, it turns out that I bumped into the Iron Constable. I'm so sorry."

Temulan's face turned pale with anger, her almond-shaped eyes widened, and she flew forward with a roar, striking the opponent's wrist as fast as the wind.

She knew that the opponent she faced last night was a very skilled martial artist, so she had used all her strength in this move, and there were three more variations hidden behind it to deal with his counterattack. However, she had just stretched out her hand and actually grabbed the opponent's pulse!

Temulan never expected that her attack could be effective, and she was stunned for a moment.

"What are you doing?" Ren Dongjie screamed loudly, shaking his elbows to try to break free from the control, and a strong force of moderate strength surged on his forearms.

Without giving it any time to think, Temulan naturally used all her strength to try to twist his right arm behind his back. There was a slight "click" sound, and the other party suddenly let out a scream. One of his elbows was dislocated.

"Ouch, ouch..." Ren Dongjie grimaced in pain, beads of sweat the size of soybeans appeared on his forehead, and he shouted at the top of his voice, "Help... The police are beating people... Help..."

The crowd was suddenly in an uproar.

Everyone was already dissatisfied with the fact that he couldn't catch the criminals as the chief of police, and now he beat civilians for no reason, which aroused public anger!

Temulan had no choice but to let go of Ren Dongjie and reconnect his dislocated arm. She sighed secretly, her disappointment evident in her words.

Not only was she disappointed, but she was also quite frustrated. She never expected that her eyesight, which she had always prided herself on as being so good, could actually be wrong - the lecherous guy in front of her was obviously not the criminal she was looking for. Although he had practiced some real kung fu, he was at best a second-rate character, not at all like the man who had fought with him last night and was elusive.

You know, it's common for masters to act crazy and fool around to tease their opponents, but it's never to this extent that even their arms were dislocated.

"Watch your mouth in the future and stop talking nonsense to try to take advantage of others!" Temulan was annoyed and scolded him a few words in a bad mood, then turned around and walked away.

She walked very fast, her back still very straight, and her big, shining eyes still held a firm and tenacious expression, as if she was declaring her strong determination - no matter how great the difficulties were, she would investigate the case, would never give up her duties, and would never admit defeat to the murderer!

After her back had disappeared for a long time and the crowd had gradually dispersed, Ren Dongjie stretched his arms and murmured, "In addition to the two kicks on the buttocks, you also owed me a beating. I will get it back from you in bed sooner or later."

Suddenly, a voice laughed, "Haha! Master Ren really lives up to his reputation as a master of chasing flowers. He even dared to ask for an account from the female captain of the Six Gates. I really admire him."

As the voices were speaking, a man came over from the side and bowed with a smile on his face. It was the man named Peng who had been waiting to be received by Yu Linglong just now.

Ren Dongjie returned the greeting with a bow and asked curiously, "Have you seen me before? How did you recognize my identity?"

The man named Peng said with a smile: "Even if I don't recognize Master Ren's face, I should recognize your rare martial arts skills. Apart from Master Ren, who else can dislocate his elbow so easily and hide it from everyone?"

Ren Dongjie smiled and said, "This kind of trick can only fool this inexperienced young head constable. It will be exposed in front of an expert like Brother Peng. By the way, I haven't asked Brother Peng's name yet?"

The man with the surname Peng said: "My name is Peng Tai, just a nobody in the world." As he spoke, he showed his right palm intentionally or unintentionally, and three of his five fingers were wearing huge ruby ​​rings.

Ren Dongjie suddenly realized, "So it's the wealthy Boss Peng from Sai Tao Zhu. I'm so sorry. No wonder someone so wealthy can afford such an expensive gift as the Emerald Coral Tree."

Peng Tai sighed and said, "It's a pity that even if I spend a fortune, I can't buy a beautiful woman's smile. But Mr. Ren easily moved Miss Yu's heart with his manly charm."

Ren Dongjie laughed, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Thank you for the compliment, brother. But in this day and age, beauties are often very realistic. Maybe I will eventually be defeated by the power of money."

Peng Tai said earnestly, "No matter what, I want to congratulate Master Ren. How about I be the host and let us all go to Taihe Tower and have a few drinks together?"

Ren Dongjie looked at the sky. There was still a long time before the date and he was feeling bored, so he readily agreed.

＊＊＊ ＊＊＊ ＊＊＊ ＊＊＊

Taihelou is the largest restaurant in the city. It is usually packed all day long. However, when Ren Dongjie and Peng Tai walked upstairs, there were only four tables of guests inside.

At the table on the far left, there were six or seven men sitting around, all dressed like old-timers, wearing white Fanyang felt hats and knee-high hemp shoes. They were drinking big bowls of wine and big chunks of meat, and shouting and playing rock-paper-scissors.

The leader sat in the middle. She was a little thin, her face mostly covered by a bamboo hat. Her neck was slightly exposed and her skin was fair. Anyone with experience in the martial arts world could tell at a glance that she was a young girl. There were already several empty bowls in front of her, and it seemed that her drinking capacity was just as good as those of her male subordinates.

In sharp contrast to this group of noisy men was an old Taoist with white hair and a youthful face sitting at the adjacent wine table. He had a clear face and was wearing a cleanly washed old Taoist robe, the corners of which fluttered in the wind.

When they looked over, the old Taoist's half-open eyes suddenly opened, emitting two cold and intimidating rays of light, which then quietly retracted, showing that his internal strength had reached an unfathomable level.

In the corner of the restaurant, sitting upright were two nuns dressed as monks. The man sitting at the top was in his forties, with a dignified face and a righteous look between his eyebrows that showed he hated evil. The woman at the bottom was only eighteen or nineteen years old, with a pretty face. Although her graceful figure was wrapped in a loose black dress, it still couldn't hide her slim and graceful figure.

However, the most eye-catching place in the entire restaurant was at the private room at the other end, where a dozen young men were surrounding a beautiful woman with a graceful figure and radiant beauty, like stars surrounding the moon.

All of these young men were handsome and elegant, but they all had fawning expressions on their faces. Some of them were massaging the shoulders of the beautiful woman, some were massaging her legs, and some were picking up the dishes with chopsticks and putting them into the beautiful woman's mouth obediently.

Ren Dongjie looked at her carefully and his eyes suddenly lit up. He saw that the beautiful woman's clothes were so bold that they were shocking.

It was clearly a cold late autumn day, but the clothes she wore were so thin that it looked like summer. She was wearing a tight-fitting light shirt with a round neck and narrow sleeves. The neckline was so low that you could vaguely see the cleavage, revealing a large area of ​​plump, white breasts.

When she saw Ren Dongjie's muscular figure, her eyes lit up. A charming look immediately appeared in her watery eyes. She threw him a wink without hesitation, and a sweet smile spread across her bright red lips.

Ren Dongjie swallowed his saliva and mechanically followed Peng Tai to an empty table, but his eyes were still firmly fixed on the beautiful woman.

As soon as he sat down, he pursed his lips and asked quietly:

"Brother Peng, do you know who she is?"

Peng Tai also lowered his voice and said, "Don't you know her? Hu Xian'er, the 'deadly beauty' who specializes in seducing men from all over the world. I thought she had a brief affair with Master Ren a long time ago."

Ren Dongjie exclaimed, "Ah, it's her! No wonder she's so coquettish. Where are the two nuns over there? Who are they?"

Peng Tai narrowed his eyes, revealed a lewd smile and said, "Which famous and upright sect in the martial arts world produces the most beautiful nuns? Master Ren, you must know that, right?"

Ren Dongjie's eyes lit up even more, and he said, "Could it be the head of the Hengshan Sect, Master Jinghui, and her most beautiful disciple, the nun Miaoyin? Great! I have sincerely come to Hengshan several times to burn incense and worship Buddha, but I have never had the chance to meet them. I never thought I could see them here today."

He paused, turned his gaze to the wine table on the far left and said, "Where are these people? They are dressed like heroes of the outlaws. Could they be a group of robbers who have sneaked into the city?"

Peng Tai's voice became lower and lower, and he said, "It's very possible. Didn't the bandit leader Di Long openly show up at Yichunyuan? Well, I guess this group of people are probably his accomplices."

Ren Dongjie nodded and said, "Dillon is only the second leader in the Qilian Mountain Village. I heard that their chief leader, 'The Brutal Beauty' Ouyang Qinghong, is young but very capable. She is most likely the girl in the bamboo hat in front of us."

Peng Tai said: "A girl as a bandit leader, no matter how powerful she is, is limited after all. But the old Taoist priest next to her is the senior Taoist Xuan Lingzi of the Wudang Sect!"

Ren Dongjie was surprised. Xuan Lingzi has a very high status in the Wudang Sect. He is a distinguished figure second only to the Sect Leader. He retired many years ago and it was unexpected that he would appear here.

The two chatted quietly while ordering some delicious food and wine, which were soon brought up by the waiter. The table was filled with food and exuded a mouth-watering aroma.

Ren Dongjie did not pick up his chopsticks, but pondered, "How strange! The guests at these four tables are all well-known figures in the martial arts world. They usually have their own whereabouts. How come they all came to this city and gathered in Taihe Tower?"

Peng Tai smiled mysteriously and said, "Not only them, I heard that the mysterious woman 'Golden Leaf' who has been very popular recently, and the 'Jade Sword Fairy' Liu Rufeng of the Emei Sect and other masters are all on their way here."

When Ren Dongjie heard Liu Rufeng's name, he was so frightened that he almost dropped the chopsticks in his hand to the ground.

He calmed himself down and thought to himself that after getting Yu Linglong tonight, he must leave quickly to avoid being caught by Liu Rufeng again. No matter what big thing is going to happen here, I don’t have time to care about it.

He was thinking about it when suddenly footsteps were heard and a man and a woman slowly walked into the restaurant. Their ages are approximately between 30 and 40, and they are very compatible in both appearance and temperament. They can be said to be a match made in heaven!

The man had a simple face, an eagle nose that was slightly higher than that of an ordinary person, and was dressed very elegantly. He looked like a very dignified middle-aged man.

The woman's appearance was not very beautiful, but her dazzlingly fair skin was enough to make up for all the shortcomings. The slightly weathered and indifferent expression in her beautiful eyes made her uniquely attractive.

This kind of woman is often eccentric and capricious, and difficult for ordinary people to control. If you want to conquer her, the process is definitely full of challenges.

Ren Dongjie was looking at her with interest when he heard Peng Tai exclaim, "I can't believe that even the Tianqin couple are here."

Ren Dongjie nodded and said, "So it's them. 'Golden Eagle and Silver Heron, flying together and living together', this couple is well-known in the martial arts world for their loving relationship. It is said that they have been inseparable since they got married and have never been apart for a moment."

While they were talking, the Tianqin couple had already ordered some food and wine. Madam Yinlu said to the waiter in a cold voice, "Shopkeeper, I want to ask you about a place. Do you know where Xiaoyao Villa is?"

The shop assistant was stunned and said, "Xiaoyao Villa? This place no longer exists."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Golden Eagle raised his eyebrows and shouted, "Nonsense! Do you think we are outsiders and tell lies to deceive me?"

The shop assistant said aggrievedly, "How dare I deceive you, sir? Even three-year-old children in this city know that all the people in Xiaoyao Mountain Villa died three years ago, and even the villa was burned to the ground by a fire..."

Mr. Golden Eagle was furious. He slammed his palm on the table and cursed, "Nonsense! We clearly received an invitation from the owner of the manor, so we came all the way here to be his guests. Who are you trying to fool with this nonsense?"

The more he spoke, the angrier he became. He raised his hand and was about to hit someone, but was stopped by Mrs. Yinlu.

The shop assistant was so scared that he begged for mercy repeatedly. While he was busy, Ren Dongjie suddenly stood up and strode over.

He clasped his fists towards Mr. Golden Eagle and asked politely, "Excuse me, is the owner of the manor you are referring to the 'Lord of Freedom' Xiao Tianxiong who roamed the martial arts world in the past?"

Mr. Golden Eagle showed a happy expression and said, "Yes, Master Xiao is a close friend of my husband and I. We have been far away from the Great Wall for many years and have been cut off from any news of him. I never thought that we would receive his invitation as soon as we returned to the Central Plains..."

When he said this, he suddenly stopped talking because he noticed that the expressions of everyone in the restaurant became strange.

Ren Dongjie coughed and forced a smile, "Could you be mistaken, brother? Xiaoyao Mountain Villa was destroyed by a fire three years ago. More than 20 members of the family of owner Xiao Tianxiong were killed. This is a well-known fact in the martial arts world."

The Tianqin couple looked at each other with an expression of disbelief on their faces.

"Impossible!" Mr. Golden Eagle took out an invitation from his pocket and handed it over, shouting, "The seal on it is clearly from Master Xiao. I will never make a mistake!"

Ren Dongjie took it and looked at it carefully. It was an ordinary birthday invitation with a sincere invitation written on it. The signature was Xiao Tianxiong, the date was October 13, and there was a vermilion seal below.

At this time, Peng Tai also came over. When he saw the seal, he suddenly exclaimed and his face turned pale.

"This... this is indeed the seal that belongs to Master Xiao!" He looked terrified and stuttered, "I recognize it. The person who carved this seal is a famous calligrapher who has long passed away. No one else can imitate it."

Ren Dongjie said in a deep voice: "But the unfortunate death of Master Xiao is an irrefutable fact. Could it be that..."

He paused and didn't continue, but Madam Yinlu took over and said softly, "Could it be that... this invitation was sent by a dead person, and my husband and I saw a ghost in broad daylight?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present felt a chill on their neck and a chill in their heart.
