Su Peijiu nodded honestly, "I have never heard of Nan Xie Tower." Whether in her past life in Great Yan or in the present Yuan Cang, she had never heard of Nan Xie Tower. "However, I have heard of Cangjian Villa."
Flower Mother immediately scoffed at the mention of Cangjian Villa, laughing derisively, "What is Cangjian Villa? If that person were not still alive, we would have already gone to kill that Poisonous Woman to avenge our Moon Master."
Su Peijiu sensitively caught the three words: "that person?" Could it be the lover that Yue Niang longed for?
Flower Mother avoided answering Su Peijiu's question and instead asked her, "Have you made up your mind? Join Nan Xie Tower and become the new Master of the Building, grasping power and wealth in one hand. If you refuse, death is all that awaits you."
Su Peijiu looked at the ring on her finger and smiled bitterly, "With you saying this, do I have any other choice?"
"Good!" Flower Mother actually cried tears of joy. Su Peijiu hurried forward to wipe away her tears but was instead grabbed by her hand. Flower Mother got down from her chair and slowly knelt on one knee on the ground. In Su Peijiu's astonished gaze, she respectfully called out, "Master of the Building!"
Su Peijiu was stunned for a moment and then smiled and nodded.
After Flower Mother stood up from the ground, she kept murmuring, "Nan Xie Tower finally has a master, finally has a master..."
She repeated this as she followed Su Peijiu from the outer hall to outside Qi Mo's door. Su Peijiu twitched her mouth at Flower Mother and said, "Could you please get me some food? My brother and I haven't eaten for a long time." Having been tricked into becoming Master of the Building, she had to secure some benefits for herself.
Upon hearing this, Flower Mother immediately cheerfully went to arrange it. Su Peijiu sighed in relief and pushed open the door to enter. The girl named Hua Qian was taking Qi Mo's pulse. Upon seeing Su Peijiu enter, her face instantly blossomed into a smile. She stepped forward and grabbed Su Peijiu's right hand with the ring, kneeling on one knee as if paying respects before standing up again.
"I knew Flower Mother would definitely be able to serve the Master of the Building," Hua Qian said with a smile.
Su Peijiu awkwardly twitched her lips, "Is that so..."
When faced with a choice between power and wealth or sudden death, even a pig would know what to choose.
“Qian, what happened to my brother?” Seeing her checking Qi Mo's pulse again, she asked.
Hua Qian listened and glanced at Qi Mo before turning to Su Peijiu with a furrowed brow. “There was nothing at first, but just now when I used the Golden Needle, I found that your brother seems to be sealed somehow, so I decided to check his pulse.”
“Sealed?” Su Peijiu stepped forward and looked down at the pale-faced person lying on the couch.
Hua Qian also moved closer and nodded. “Yes, his internal energy is not detectable with a pulse check, but using the Golden Needle allows me to clearly sense the dynamics of his body. That's why I found it strange and checked his pulse again.”
Su Peijiu felt there was no need for her to know how many secrets Qi Mo was hiding. She smiled at Hua Qian, “Thank you, Qian.”
Hua Qian looked over Su Peijiu's face, examining it closely, which made her pause. She touched her own face and asked, “Is there something on my face?”
“Does the Master of the Building have a disguise?”
“Disguise? Why do you ask that?” Su Peijiu questioned in confusion. “I don’t have a disguise.”
Hua Qian shook her head while touching her Gold Silk Cloth. This was a matter concerning the Master of the Building. If the Master of the Building knew that her brother was disguised, that would be fine; if not, then she still didn’t know?
Su Peijiu quickly noticed Hua Qian's odd behavior. She looked at the person on the couch; his face was still familiar, but recalling everything that had happened along the way, even though he was in a coma, she clearly hadn’t sensed the familiar scent from him while carrying him.
“He... is not my brother?” she asked in a questioning tone.
Hua Qian quickly shook her hand. “This Qian doesn’t know either.”
“Remove whatever is on his face; I want to see who it is that I’ve been risking my life to protect all this way!” Su Peijiu simply sat down in a chair.
Hua Qian swallowed hard, went to get the medicine box, and walked in. She gently stroked Qi Mo's face for a moment and couldn't help but exclaim, "This mask is really well made."
Following the sequence, she took out the medicine from the box and dripped it onto the face of the person lying on the couch. Su Peijiu saw the mask slowly lifting and coldly maintained her posture; she wanted to see clearly who was beneath this mask!
Hua Qian removed the mask and sighed in disappointment, "This person isn't as good-looking as my brother, the Master of the Building." She instinctively glanced at Su Peijiu, only to find her gritting her teeth while staring at the person on the couch.
To her surprise, the person on the couch was actually Leyang, who had blocked her from entering Qi Mo's room!
Qi Mo truly had great skills; he managed to switch people right under her nose without her noticing.
How could Qi Rong be so unguarded, so boldly allowing a national war god, Yuan Cang's Smiling Face Yama, to stay in prison? It seemed that Qi Mo had already secretly dealt with all the guards.
Suddenly, she remembered that deaf-mute person wrapped in a black cloak; hadn't she locked eyes with that person in the end?
How could she have this person around? Seeing someone kill all the guards without making a sound and calmly walking away with a bucket was simply unbelievable.
"Well done, truly well done." Su Peijiu stepped forward and patted Leyang's face, then twisted slightly with purpose: "You and your master are both impressive!"
After saying this, Su Peijiu angrily turned to leave. When she reached the door, she added, "Hua Qian, there's no need to treat him; he won't die anyway."
Hua Qian looked at the face of the person on the couch and immediately became indifferent; she didn't care about anyone unrelated to the Master of the Building. In a few quick steps, she followed behind the Master of the Building.
"This is where our Nan Xie Tower gathers. Tonight, Flower Mother will introduce the Master of the Building to everyone from Nan Xie Tower," Hua Qian said, pointing at the high platform to Su Peijiu.
Su Peijiu was taken aback for a moment: "Tonight?"
"Yes, introduce the Master of the Building to the people of Nan Xie Tower as soon as possible. They will feel more at ease."
"I should expect some resistance since I'm an outsider suddenly appearing," she said, feeling a bit anxious. Although she longed for the martial world, being in it made her realize how out of control she truly was.
"Master of the Building, don't worry. Our Nan Xie Tower is different from other martial organizations. In front of us at Nan Xie Tower, you have the Silver Ring that Moon Master personally acknowledged, which is absolute authority. No one dares to refute you." As she spoke, she suddenly thought of someone and frowned. "But there is one person who will be harder to manage."
"Harder to manage?"
"He has a somewhat unruly personality. Apart from Flower Mother, no one else dares to be around him for even a second... However, he is absolutely loyal to Nan Xie Tower, so please rest assured, Master of the Building," Hua Qian said seriously.
Su Peijiu sighed in pain, initially thinking that taking over Nan Xie Tower would be like playing house, but she didn't expect it to be so tricky right from the start. She looked at the man below, dressed in luxurious clothing but wearing half a mask. Under the hopeful gazes of Flower Mother and Hua Qian, she slowly walked down from the high platform.
This was the person Hua Qian referred to: Black Crow.
He was indeed a difficult person to deal with. Was his personality really unruly? It was simply terrible!
Yet she had to go down and show him the Silver Ring because he didn't believe that the ring on her hand was real.
She wished even more than he did that the ring wasn't real! If she could give it to him, she would.
"Here." She placed her hand in front of him. "The ring is here."
Black Crow reached out to grab Su Peijiu's hand, but she flinched. "Just look; don't touch me. It's inappropriate for men and women to have physical contact."
The red lips beneath Black Crow's mask curled into a mocking smile as he took her delicate hand in his own. "There aren't so many rules here at Nan Xie Tower."
Su Peijiu has discovered that this person is pretending to be someone else just to humiliate the new Master of the Building. Is he holding onto her hand without letting go? She is not someone to be trifled with!
"Let go of my hand now, and I, the Master of the Building, might still forgive you," she said coldly.
Black Crow raised an eyebrow, rubbing his thumb against her delicate skin: "What a nice hand. What if I don't let go?"
Flower Mother shouted from above, " Black Crow must not be disrespectful to the Master of the Building!"
Black Crow acted as if he hadn't heard, continuing to provoke Su Peijiu, his gaze conveying: What will you do?
What will I do?...
Su Peijiu stepped forward, using his grip on her hand to her advantage. She kicked him in the stomach, and as he winced in pain, she slapped him across the face.
"This is the consequence of not letting go!" Su Peijiu looked at the curled-up Black Crow, disdainfully saying, "Don't provoke women, especially not women like me."
She turned and walked towards the platform, her long white skirt billowing in the wind. The people from Nan Xie Tower seemed to see the silhouette of Moon Master, and they could no longer hold back, kneeling and singing loudly: "Nan Xie Youyue, from ancient times to now, trust me as I float by, carrying the world and its burdens!"
