When they first met, she thought Hua Qian was a somewhat aloof girl. She didn't expect that after learning she was the Master of the Building, her personality would take a complete turn, becoming so enthusiastic that it made her a bit apprehensive. She had never seen a girl who would even stand guard while she went to the bathroom, so this time she only brought Flower Mother along, leaving Hua Qian at home.
Before leaving, Flower Mother coaxed her for an entire night and barely managed to come out the next morning with red eyes to wave goodbye.
Thinking of this, Su Peijiu smiled and said, "Hua Qian is quite a unique girl."
Flower Mother understood Su Peijiu's meaning and smiled as well, saying, "At first glance, you might think she's a bit unapproachable, but those who know her understand she's quite a handful. Even Black Crow has no way to deal with her."
"Really?" It was hard to imagine the cold-faced Black Crow being chased around by Hua Qian.
"Hua Qian... this child has suffered a lot in her early years, so she is hostile towards strangers. But she admires Moon Master greatly, which is why she got so excited when she learned you have Moon Master's Silver Ring." Flower Mother looked at Su Peijiu with gentle eyes.
"I didn't expect there was this backstory." Su Peijiu frowned; it turned out that her aloofness was just a protective facade to shield herself from harm. Thinking of that bright smile, her heart ached slightly.
Flower Mother leaned closer and put her arm around her shoulder: "The Master of the Building is actually a soft-hearted person."
"Do I seem heartless?" Su Peijiu replied with a light laugh.
"Tsk tsk... that's not good. The Master of the Building looks like one of those royal figures when she's cold, high and mighty, making it hard to approach. Many disciples have complained to me, asking for the Master of the Building to be friendlier in the future."
Su Peijiu nodded helplessly: "I won't keep a stern face anymore."
Flower Mother wanted to say something else when the doctor spoke up.
"The patient has woken up."
Su Peijiu immediately stood up and walked toward the bed, with Flower Mother following behind.
Seeing Second Brother staring at her in confusion, she suddenly remembered that she had first met them with an ugly face.
"What is this?" Er Long propped himself up to sit up.
Su Peijiu suppressed her impulse to step forward and support him; being overly attentive to a stranger might raise his suspicions. "This is an inn."
Er Long looked at Su Peijiu, who was smiling gently at him, and then choked up a bit, "Thank you for saving me, I am deeply grateful. However, I have urgent matters to attend to, so I must take my leave." He was about to get off the bed when Su Peijiu quickly stepped forward to stop him.
"Doctor, you can't move right now. What urgent matter could there be?" Please don't let it be what I'm thinking.
Er Long leaned against the bed railing and said weakly, "My older brother was injured, so I had no choice but to steal that lady's purse. I didn't expect to be caught and beaten half to death. Thanks to you, if not for your rescue, I would have likely met my end there. But my poor brother is still waiting for me to bring him medicine... what should I do?" Tears streamed down his face.
"Don't worry... I will send someone to treat your brother right away." Su Peijiu almost blurted out "Second Brother."
Er Long looked at Su Peijiu in surprise and then struggled to kneel down to thank her, but fortunately, the doctor held him back.
Seeing Er Long obediently lie back down, she breathed a sigh of relief. "To save a person is to see it through; to send someone off is to escort them all the way. Moreover... you resemble my wandering brother quite a bit."
Er Long felt a bit puzzled; this young man’s words seemed a bit far-fetched. He looked like his brother?
This young man did not have an ordinary appearance; if his brother looked like Er Long, it would be quite a tragedy.
Before long, Big Dragon was also brought over. Su Peijiu instructed someone at the nearby inn to open a room and moved everyone inside while calming the people in that alley before finally catching her breath. Looking at Flower Mother, who had been following her all along, she held her hand and said, "Flower Mother, thank you and Nan Xie Tower. If it weren't for you both, I wouldn't have been able to accomplish today's task."
Flower Mother lovingly patted her head, "What thanks? We are all family, silly child."
At that moment, Su Peijiu vowed in her heart that if anyone harmed Nan Xie Tower, she would repay them tenfold, a hundredfold, a thousandfold... Everyone has their bottom line; once that line is crossed, unless one faces utter destruction, the hatred in their heart cannot be quelled!
...
Everyone at Nan Xie Tower was on high alert, waiting for orders from the new Master of the Building, who had just arrived in the capital.
And the Master of the Building, whom they were all thinking about, was currently clinging to the roof like a gecko.
She gently poked Black Crow, who was lying beside her, and mouthed, "How much longer?"
Black Crow rolled his eyes silently and replied, "Just wait a little longer." He didn't want her to come along, yet she insisted on tagging along. What was a person without martial arts doing here causing trouble?
Su Peijiu wrinkled her nose and turned her head away. Below her was a spring bubbling with steam, the sulfur smell nearly making her gag.
Bored, she had suggested that Black Crow go play a trick on her senior brother Ji Yu from the Demon Cult to get back at him for looking down on her. However, driven by her desire to witness her brother's miserable fate firsthand, she had stubbornly insisted that Black Crow bring her along. So far, she had been lying on this rooftop for nearly two hours, yet her brother still hadn't shown up at the hot spring.
According to reliable sources from Nan Xie Tower, the Demon Cult Master was extremely fond of cleanliness and bathed three times a day in his private bath.
But why had she waited so long without seeing that unreliable senior brother of hers?
Feeling frustrated, she lay on the tiles, enjoying the cool breeze against her backside, and gradually her eyelids began to droop…
Feeling a painful poke on her shoulder, she opened her eyes and complained, "What are you doing?"
Before she could finish speaking, a cold male voice urgently asked, "Who is up there!"
Before she could react, she tumbled off the roof and fell into the hot spring with a splash. After choking on several mouthfuls of water and scrambling to grab the edge of the pool, she finally emerged.
Fair skin… sexy eight-pack abs… crimson red lips… delicate collarbone… an extraordinarily handsome face…
What a stunning beauty…!
Su Peijiu swallowed hard, still tasting the pool water or perhaps her own saliva. Looking at that body, tsk tsk… there were still droplets of water on him… Why did such a good-looking man exist? His hair was even darker and smoother than hers!
"Had enough of looking?" teased the male voice.
Su Peijiu instinctively shook her head. "Not yet."
"Want to get closer to take a look?"
Su Peijiu nodded honestly.
“……” The man chuckled lightly, and the sound was like ice pearls falling onto a jade plate, sending a jolt through Su Peijiu. “So it turns out that Junior Sister is quite the flirt.”
It felt as if she had been looked down upon...
“Is the other guest on the roof not coming down?” Ji Yu, also without clothes, lazily leaned against the edge of the pool, finding it amusing to watch the silly Su Peijiu. But if others started to see her as a spectacle, it wouldn’t be as fun anymore.
Black Crow flew down from the roof with a face full of black lines. Looking at his Master of the Building, who was now covering her face and realizing how embarrassing it was, he shot her a glare filled with disappointment. Then he stepped forward and cupped his fists toward Ji Yu: “My lightness skill is lacking; I happened to pass by here and didn’t expect to drop my Master of the Building. I’ll take her away; please don’t hold it against me.”
Under Ji Yu's half-smiling gaze, Black Crow’s hand reached out to grab Su Peijiu but involuntarily shook three times. The reputation of the Demon Cult Master was indeed well-deserved. His lying skills were not as good as Hua Qian’s; what should he do?
Just as he was about to hook her shoulder, a light voice floated over: “Dare to touch her, and I’ll break your hand.” He instantly froze.
“Get out; I have personal matters to discuss with my Junior Sister.”
Black Crow: Stay… or leave? His Master of the Building…
“Do you want to lose an arm or a leg by staying?” Another light voice came, and Black Crow instantly vanished.
Su Peijiu: “……” Her inner turmoil was definitely more than just collapsing…
“Ge'er… planning to stay in this pool for a lifetime?” The inevitable had come; she heard her Senior Brother’s teasing laughter and wanted to bury herself at the bottom of the pool.
She took a deep breath and cleared her throat: “Senior… Senior Brother, long time no see.”
“Are you ignoring your Senior Brother and following the new rules of our sect?”
Su Peijiu: “……” Resigned, she turned around, feeling as if her face was on fire.
Ji Yu appeared in front of her at some point, his phoenix eyes narrowed with charm. “Oh! Is Senior Brother’s Ge'er feeling shy?”
"Shy? Who's shy? How could I be shy? Senior Brother, don't talk nonsense." She stepped back but lost her balance and fell in, splashing water everywhere. After finally climbing out, she saw Ji Yu laughing heartily, and feeling embarrassed, she awkwardly smiled and said, "I'll go up first, Senior Brother, take your time... take your time..."
As she clumsily climbed out of the pool, a voice from behind startled her, causing her to fall back in.
"Ge'er plans to leave after seeing Senior Brother's body?"
A warm body pressed against her from behind, and a low magnetic voice that almost made her tremble whispered in her ear, "Senior Brother is a fledgling; once you see it, you have to take responsibility."
Su Peijiu didn't have the courage to turn around. She couldn't see the deep amusement in the eyes of the man standing behind her. Nervously, she prepared to apologize. Since he was her senior brother, he shouldn't hold it against her too much.
"Junior Sister was wrong; please forgive me, Senior Brother!"
"Wrong about what?" His voice was light and teasing.
"Junior Sister shouldn't have been lying on Senior Brother's roof, shouldn't have fallen into Senior Brother's hot spring pool, shouldn't have seen Senior Brother's body. It’s all Junior Sister's fault; please forgive me!" She rambled on without knowing what she was saying.
After a long pause with no response from behind, her heart raced wildly. She didn't dare turn around and cursed Black Crow for being ungrateful. Without hearing Senior Brother's reply, her heart felt stuck in her throat and wouldn't go down.
