"Does the Nangong Family Head want to be my male pet?" She was unusually fixated on this question, and seeing the indifference in his eyes reminded her of someone from the past, making her unable to resist wanting to break through it.
Nangong Li slightly curled his lips, suddenly blooming like a pear blossom overnight, softening the atmosphere around him. Su Peijiu tightened her fists, her eyes shifting like a storm.
"I have always preferred to take what I want by force." She grabbed Nangong Li's collar and pulled him closer, glancing at the restless members of the Nangong Family around them. She coldly huffed, "The Black Crow has blocked them; I don't like anyone disturbing my good fortune!"
Black Crow: "..." He never expected the Master of the Building to be so domineering and lecherous...
Despite this thought, he still drew his sword, his face cold as he blocked the members of the Nangong Family. "Coming over means death."
His nonchalance was evident, but the cold gleam of the Sword Tip made others hesitate, resulting in a standoff.
Meanwhile, Su Peijiu dragged a man who was a head taller than her into the room. She pushed him forcefully against the wall, looking at him with slightly disheveled clothes, yet he remained elegant as ever.
Looking up at him, her red lips pressed into a stubborn line.
"Why?" she asked.
Nangong Li merely looked at her calmly without speaking, his expression unusually gentle.
"Why! I'm asking you why?! Didn't you hear me?" Her eyes reddened as she tore off the Cat Face Mask from her face, nearly crying in front of him.
The man reached out to touch her hair and slowly pulled the still-crying girl into his embrace. "Don't cry; it breaks my heart to see you like this."
"...Didn't you already decide not to care about me?" She wiped away her continuously flowing tears with the back of her hand, crying like a child.
He was her master, someone who had been with her since her naive days. In her heart, this person was even more important than her father. That’s why after being reborn, she desperately sought his help... because she believed that even if everyone else in the world abandoned her and betrayed her, this person would definitely keep his embrace for her...
"...You're already a big girl; why are you crying like a little kitten?" He took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and gently wiped away her tears. Seeing that her tears continued to flow, he sighed and said, "When have I ever stopped caring about you?"
"If I hadn't recognized you as my master just now, would you have planned to leave?" she complained, choking back tears.
The man chuckled lightly, pushing her away from his embrace and looking at her disheveled face. "You are my favorite disciple, what are you thinking? Even if I were to throw away your senior brother, I would never throw you away."
Su Peijiu broke into a smile through her tears. "Senior brother will be jealous of Master’s favoritism."
Before she could finish her sentence, a figure in red descended gracefully, his phoenix eyes lazily half-closed as he leaned against a tree trunk, watching Su Peijiu. "Senior brother wouldn’t be jealous; junior sister, don’t take advantage of senior brother's absence to say nonsense."
"You’re here," Nangong Li, or perhaps Changbai Mu Chu Gongzi, nodded lightly at Ji Yu.
A shadow flickered in Ji Yu's eyes as he similarly responded with a detached "Hmm." Then he turned his gaze to Su Peijiu, a teasing expression on his face. "When senior brother came here before, junior sister wasn’t this happy. Have you forgotten senior brother now that Master is here? Senior brother’s heart hurts..." He placed his hand dramatically over his chest.
Su Peijiu twitched her lips. "Senior brother, the heart is on the left side; you pressed the wrong spot."
"Oh." Ji Yu quickly changed direction and continued pressing. "Senior brother’s heart hurts..."
"Master, let’s go inside," Su Peijiu decided to ignore Ji Yu's foolish antics.
However, Ji Yu shouted from the side, "Junior sister! Are you really planning to take Master as your male pet? Should I be included too?"
Su Peijiu suddenly remembered what she had just said outside the door and blushed deeply. "Master, I was just angry when I said that. Besides, it wouldn’t raise any suspicions... so..." She anxiously explained to Mu Chu.
Mu Chu shook his head expressionlessly. "It’s fine; I don’t mind."
Ji Yu smiled and stepped forward, attempting to hook Su Peijiu's hand. Just as he reached out, a gust of wind struck him away. His eyes flashed with realization as the cold light flickered in his phoenix eyes. He reached out to block Su Peijiu and pulled her aside, leaning all his weight against her while provocatively glancing at Mu Chu. "If junior sister doesn’t want to accept Master, why not consider taking senior brother instead? Senior brother is quite handsome; he won’t embarrass you when you go out."
Su Peijiu's face darkened as she grabbed Ji Yu by the waist and bent down to dodge him. "Senior brother is too beautiful and too flashy; junior sister can’t handle it."
"Master..." She turned around to speak to Mu Chu.
Mu Chu's brown eyes glinted with a hint of coldness: "Today, Master still has matters to attend to. Let's talk another day." With that, he used his lightness skill to leave.
Outside, those who were at a standstill only saw a white shadow flash by, and then the one wearing the Cat Face Mask from Nan Xie Tower, the Master of the Building, chased after him, followed closely by a man dressed in red. They were momentarily confused.
Black Crow sheathed his sword: "Your master has already left. Everyone disperse; don't just stand there, it's annoying."
The members of the Nangong Family exchanged glances, and then the elegantly dressed lady stepped forward and scolded: "Disperse? Fine, hand over my Xiang Er, or no one will have it easy!"
Black Crow disdainfully ignored the woman’s insults and remained silent, merely looking at her with contempt.
The woman thought Black Crow was afraid of her and became even more aggressive: "Don't think our Nangong Family is scared of you! If you provoke us, we’ll all die together! You shameless people, sending your vixen to seduce someone else's husband while pretending to be virtuous. Now you've captured my Xiang Er and want to kill to silence us?! The Nangong Family will never let you off!"
Black Crow pulled his sword out slightly, revealing a cold gleam that startled the woman into recoiling, but she still stood tall and continued to curse.
Su Peijiu glanced at Ji Yu and then asked him: "Senior Brother, what brings you here?"
"Let's go inside; it's too noisy outside."
The two entered the door and closed it behind them, leaving Black Crow alone outside. His expression darkened.
"Are you scared? You killers..."
"Have you finished cursing?!" Black Crow suddenly drew his sword completely, causing the woman to hide behind her bodyguard in fear.
"Wait!" A gentle female voice emerged. Flower Mother leaned against a willow tree on the left side of the door, her voice icy. Slowly descending from the tree, she wore a pale pink dress and had a frosty expression.
"Black Crow, step back." She walked step by step in front of the woman: "Nangong Xiang's mother?"
"Indeed! You are that shameless vixen, Flower Mother!" The woman’s face twisted with rage as she attempted to grab Flower Mother by the neck. Flower Mother dodged and spoke coldly: "This is a matter between me and Nangong Xiang; it has nothing to do with you. If you cause trouble again, Nan Xie Tower is not to be trifled with!"
"You dare! My Nangong Family still has some prestige in the court. You Jianghu organizations only know how to fight and kill. The court will eventually send troops to wipe you out!"
"... No wonder a mother like you has a daughter like that. You keep insisting that I let Nangong Xiang go, but why didn't you let your daughter release me back then? If you want the position of Cangjian Villa's lady, fine, I can give it to you, but... why do you want to take my child away?!"
"You say we Jianghu organizations only know how to fight and kill, but aren't you noble clans also drenched in blood? Using dirty means to force people into ruin, is this the righteous path? Is this the righteous path of your families? As for the court... hum! The capital is about to fall; who cares about the survival of these fallen noble families?"
Her eyes were mocking, her tone sharp, causing the woman opposite her to turn pale and fall silent.
"I, Flower Mother, declare here that I will decide Nangong Xiang's fate! If Buddha blocks me, I will kill Buddha; if gods block me, I will kill gods!"
"You...!" The woman was so furious that she fainted, her face contorting.
Flower Mother looked at the group of cowering Nangong Family members and coldly snorted, "Get lost!" Thus, a group of people dragged the woman away like stray dogs.
"Except for that legitimate son Nangong Li, this Nangong Family is simply despicable to the extreme!" She snorted lightly and turned to walk toward the main gate. Black Crow frowned and sheathed his sword. "The Master of the Building seems to have a connection with the head of the Nangong Family."
"Black Crow!" A glint of malice flashed in Flower Mother's eyes. "You seem to have forgotten your identity!"
"I acknowledge my mistake."
"Where did you go wrong?"
"I should not have spoken recklessly about the Master of the Building."
Flower Mother's beautiful eyes were cold and meaningful. "Remember that subordinates are ultimately subordinates, while the Master of the Building is always the Master of the Building. The reason Nan Xie Tower has thrived for a hundred years is because of this strict hierarchy!"
"I understand," Black Crow lowered his gaze and replied submissively.
"Finally, it's time for chaos... We have finally waited for a proper Master of the Building. Nan Xie Tower will survive again with a dominant identity!" Her tone grew more excited, unable to contain her fervor.
Black Crow stood behind her, a dark glimmer flashing in his eyes, without saying a word.
In front of the door.
Su Peijiu looked seriously at Ji Yu, who also wore a solemn expression.
"The Eighteen Zhou Kingdom has almost signed the guarantee agreement," Ji Yu said.
Su Peijiu frowned. "What does 'almost' mean?" She was not at ease with others handling the matter of contacting the Eighteen Zhou Kingdom, so she personally asked Ji Yu to do it.
"Only Crimson Kingdom is left. Jun Ye Su demands to meet you; otherwise, he won't sign!"
"Smack!" Before Ji Yu could finish speaking, Su Peijiu slammed her palm on the table in anger. She sneered, her Water Eyes filled with frost: "He dares to play this game with me!"
"Jun Ye Su said that if he can't meet you by the fifteenth of this month, he will withdraw his troops. The participation of the other seventeen countries is contingent upon Crimson Kingdom joining the war. If Crimson Kingdom withdraws..." His expression remained unchanged, and he added, "Do you need my senior brother's help?"
Su Peijiu had a gloomy expression, a deep smile at the corner of her lips: "No need. Since he dares to pull this trick on me at this time, I will definitely meet him personally." Let's see what kind of person that originally cowardly and incompetent prince of Crimson Kingdom really is!
