The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1546 - 1545: Leave More Evidence

Stone thought further than the Saddler. He stared at Chun Ping with excitement, grabbed the Saddler's hand, and hurriedly pulled him along before Chun Ping entered Chunlai Inn, running downstairs with him."Stone, you've always been impulsive and made a lot of mistakes because of it, got scolded by the boss so many times. How come you haven't learned your lesson yet? Aren't you afraid you'll mess up again this time?"

The Saddler wasn't as curious as Stone and almost got pulled down the stairs by him several times. By the time they reached downstairs, his head and back were covered in cold sweat.

Chun Ping lacked skills in counter-surveillance, or rather, she had no skills at all. Following Qin Qing's instructions was commendable enough for her; being tracked wasn't even in her considerations.

Inside Chunlai Inn, Chun Ping arrived at an independent building in the backyard. Before she came close to the house, two Bald men suddenly appeared in front of her.

"Who are you? What do you want?"

Just looking at their fierce appearance would make any timid girl cry, but Chun Ping knew about the close relationship between Qin Qing and these men's master. Their master relied on Qin Qing for revenge, so her arrival would be welcomed, and they dared not touch a hair on Chun Ping.

"I'm here to help your Family Head. Our Family Head has a letter, but it must be given to your Family Head directly, concerning your Family Head's revenge. It's up to you whether to inform, depending on how soon you want your Family Head to get revenge."

The repeated mentions of 'revenge' intrigued them, and seeing Chun Ping didn't seem like someone capable of causing trouble, and her skills weren't threatening enough to Zhou Runfa, Lao San then went back to inform.

Eight Great Vajra, one dead Lao Qi, leaving seven. People Zhou Runfa painstakingly trained, losing any of them would hurt him for a long time. The previous failure in Zijing City left Zhou Runfa still not recovered.

He had been staying at Chunlai Inn for several days, pondering how to deal with Tang Rao. Should he use force or strategy, fight on his own to avenge his grandson, or just let it go?

Every issue he pondered became deeply entrenched in his mind, accumulating over time, leading Zhou Runfa to feel increasingly low, until he lost all fighting spirit.

He somehow admitted that, in some aspects, Tang Rao was stronger than him, that mid-level god cultivator having an overwhelming advantage over him, a late-stage god cultivator.

As Zhou Runfa considered whether to give up, a knock sounded outside.

"Boss, people from Kao Shan Sect are here."

Lao San mentioned Kao Shan Sect, startling Zhou Runfa and making him bounce up from bed.

He thought it was soldiers from Kao Shan Sect led by Tang Rao coming for revenge, anxiously wanted Lao San to tell outsiders he wasn't here, until Lao San explained it was a woman coming to inform, not Tang Rao, calming Zhou Runfa down.

"Go out to see."

He got dressed, tying his graying hair with a band, and in minutes looked much more vigorous than before.

Chun Ping waited outside, Lao Si stood statue-like in front of her, never moving too close or far, eyes fixed on Chun Ping, ready to stop any small movement she made.

"Old Master Zhou's place has so many experts, I can't tell if he's afraid of dying or truly has a lot of skilled people, even the guards are so strong."

Chun Ping saw an elderly man coming down and mocked slightly.

"Young girl, sharp-tongued, are these words ordered by the person behind you or your own thoughts?"

Zhou Runfa wasn't stupid, realizing that a weak girl insulting him must be directed by someone behind her, not because she was foolish.

In the past, he'd immediately eliminate them, but now he patiently waited for Chun Ping's next words.

"Little girl's mouth is sharp, so you're here today just for this?"

Simply mocking Zhou Runfa was of no use to Chun Ping; she came with a task.

She handed a letter sealed with red wax to Zhou Runfa, awaiting him to take it.

"Our Miss said you'd be interested in what's mentioned inside. She advised reading carefully and considering well. Last time's failure was unexpected; this time... if we cooperate well, our Miss guarantees success."

Even Chun Ping didn't know the letter's contents; she exaggerated the importance to persuade them.

"So it's her. Inform your Miss for me: last time's failure cost Zhou Family greatly; this time, if she wants to use Zhou Family for her revenge again, it's possible. But if there's another failure, besides not sparing Tang Rao, Zhou Family won't spare your Miss either."

Zhou Runfa threatened bitterly.

"Stone, who were they talking about, all this 'your Miss' 'my Miss,' I couldn't understand what they were talking about from lip-reading."

The Saddler activated Illusion City's recording function while reading lips, translating for Stone.

"I couldn't figure it out either; this girl is that woman's maid yet privately colludes with our entire Kao Shan Sect's enemy. Such a shame for our boss who treats her well; turns out she's betraying him!"

Stone was angrily pounding the railing, luckily far enough not to attract attention.

"Keep your voice down, we're here to gather intel, not to get caught. You may want to die, but I don't!"

The Saddler scaredly wanted to wrap Stone's hands in cotton, both exchanging looks and finally calming down.

"What should we do? Looks like they have new plans, our boss hasn't recovered from the last event, and there's another conspiracy. Should we go back and tell the boss, see how he decides?"

The Saddler heard a bit of news and wanted to rush to tell Tang Rao, causing Shi Bai to give him an eye roll.

"Tell the boss? What are you going to tell with such little info? Let's wait until there's more to actually report."

Stone showed more sense and reason.
