Li Ying and Scorpion Heart, Chapter Fourteen: The Mysterious Golden Leaf

About the time it takes to eat a meal, the pursuers dragged their weary steps back into the hall. Their dejected expressions revealed that they hadn't even caught a glimpse of their enemy.

"Was that woman a ghost?" Qi Nanzhi shouted as he entered. "How could she have vanished so quickly? She disappeared in broad daylight in the blink of an eye! Was she a fox spirit in disguise?"

Kong Wei remained silent, his face ashen, a hint of murderous intent flickering in his eyes. Luo Jingwen merely brushed the dust off his long robe and said calmly, "That woman's lightness skill was unexpectedly high; it's not surprising that she managed to shake us off."

Qi Nanzhi exclaimed, "If it weren't for the 'Soul-Snatching Needle' she was carrying, which made us all wary and hesitant to approach too closely, catching her wouldn't have been difficult!"

Luo Jingwen didn't argue with him, but instead gazed at Zuo Leidong's body, his expression somber, and said, "The bones of the old are still warm, and the new has already perished. I never imagined that in just a few days, my Shenfeng Gang would suffer seven or eight murders, losing eleven brothers and sisters! If we don't find the murderer and tear him to pieces, how can we boost the morale of the gang members? How can we answer to the heroes of the world?"

Ren Dongjie nodded slightly, then suddenly said, "Just now, Chief Zuo was killed before he could finish speaking. In your opinion, what was he trying to say?"

"Without a doubt, he's going to say the murderer's name!" Luo Jingwen's voice seemed to carry a hint of fear as he said coldly, "It's the name 'Moonlit Beauty'! That's why he was killed to silence her!"

Kong Wei's eyes flashed as he pondered, "Who exactly is this murderer?"

"I don't know!" Ren Dongjie answered decisively, "I only know two things! First, 'Moonlit Beauty' is Chief Ling's confidante, and she really does look like a woman..."

"Nonsense!" Kong Wei interrupted him angrily, "Do you think she'd be a man? Do you think our chief is a homosexual?"

"Second..." Ren Dongjie ignored him and continued, "She was able to escape from you, so her martial arts skills must be quite formidable. May I ask, Third Master Luo, which women in the main headquarters currently know martial arts?"

Luo Jingwen coughed before counting on his fingers, "Thirteenth Concubine Fang Wanping, Miss Han Bing, and Madam Wei Li Yan—all three are quite skilled. Fu Heng's female disciple, Xiao Lin'er, definitely knows as well, but we don't know her strength. Then there are the two maids, Wei Hong and Yi Cui..."

"You forgot to mention someone!" Qi Nanzhi suddenly interjected, "And Miss Ling, she seems to be quite capable too!"

Kong Wei said impatiently, "Ridiculous! Even if the leader wanted to leave the treasure map to Miss Ling, he wouldn't refer to her as a 'confidante' in his will! She's not a suspect!"

Qi Nanzhi's expression was solemn, as if he wanted to say something, but he glanced at Ren Dongjie and ultimately just sighed, unable to speak further.

Luo Jingwen swiftly closed his folding fan and declared resolutely, "No matter what, the Moonlit Beauty must be among these women. As long as we investigate carefully, we'll surely catch her red-handed!"

Ren Dongjie shrugged and smiled, "I hope Master Luo can succeed quickly and solve this extremely troublesome problem!" After saying that, he patted Qi Nanzhi's shoulder and said leisurely, "Let others worry about the troublesome things. We should find a place to have a good drink!"

Qi Nanzhi clapped his hands and said, "Excellent! Although getting drunk will still give you a headache, this kind of headache is much more pleasant than theirs!"

The two left the hall chatting and laughing. Luo Jingwen stared at their backs with envy, suddenly feeling that being a carefree wanderer in the martial arts world is indeed sometimes very happy. At least they can take things on and let them go. They can temporarily put aside even the biggest problems and enjoy the good life at any time.

**********

...

The girl slept facing outwards, her crystal-clear, jade-like body so white and smooth, so youthful and beautiful. Her smooth, snow-white shoulders and back, like solidified cream, faintly reflected a holy light under the starry sky. Her long, slender, and firm legs were slightly curled, and only her buttocks were covered by a small piece of underwear...

Qi Nanzhi's gaze involuntarily swept over her, greedily staring at the partially exposed, pert pink buttocks. His heart began to pound, and he suddenly felt even thirstier, as if his throat was on fire.

—Who is this girl? How did she end up lying next to me? Could it be that Xiao Ren arranged this?

Qi Nanzhi laughed and murmured, "A good friend is a good friend, he's really thoughtful! I really need a woman right now..."

He looked at the high bulge between his legs, and a strong desire welled up from the bottom of his heart. He braced his arms on the bed board and used the "Donkey Roll" move to quickly press down on the girl's delicate body!

"Mmm...no..." the girl moaned coquettishly. Just as she turned her pretty face, Qi Nanzhi rudely took her soft lips. She struggled instinctively for a moment, then obediently remained still, letting his alcohol-smelling mouth roam over her delicate cheek, letting his wicked tongue suckle at her delicate tongue tip...

At the same time, one of his hands had already touched her breasts, her small, firm breasts like pigeons, her virgin nipples erect from the stimulation of his fingertips, while his other hand had already torn away the last shred of modesty...

Suddenly, Qi Nanzhi shoved her away, the remaining effects of the alcohol vanishing instantly! He stared at the girl's face, exclaiming in shock, "Miss Ling! It's you!"

Ling Shaoyun propped herself up, glanced at him, and chuckled, biting her lip as she asked, "What? You didn't expect this?"

Qi Nanzhi let out a long breath and said with a wry smile, "I really didn't expect it! You...you really gave me a big scare!"

Ling Shaoyun brushed her disheveled hair aside and said coquettishly, "Alright, I finally gave you a surprise! Aren't you happy?"

Qi Nanzhi said repeatedly, "Happy...happy...I'm so happy..." As he spoke, he grabbed his pants and bravely pulled them over his head.

Ling Shaoyun grabbed his hand and glared at him, saying, "Hey, what do you think you're doing?"

Qi Nanzhi said with a bitter face, "I don't want to do anything, I...I just want to leave as soon as possible..."

Ling Shaoyun put her hands on her hips, thrust out her fully developed breasts, and sneered, "You stripped me naked, kissed me, hugged me, and even touched my most...most precious place, do you think you can just leave like this?"

Qi Nanzhi almost cried out, "You were the one who got into my bed first! You took off your clothes yourself, I only... I only took off a tiny bit of your clothes..."

Ling Shaoyun's face was as cold as water, and she said hatefully, "I don't care! You've already touched me, you can't deny it no matter what!"

Qi Nanzhi smiled bitterly, "Then what do you want?"

Ling Shaoyun didn't say a word, she spoke with the most fervent actions—her pair of fair and rounded arms suddenly hooked around Qi Nanzhi's neck, her burning lips kissed his firm chest muscles intimately, and her elastic breasts clamped around his...

Just then, Qi Nanzhi suddenly laughed, laughed so hard he couldn't breathe! This was truly absurd, no man in the world would ever laugh like this in such a situation!

"I finally understand your purpose..." he laughed loudly, "Unfortunately, you don't understand Ren Dongjie's character!"

Ling Shaoyun trembled, her voice shaking, "You... what did you say?"

Qi Nanzhi stared at her, calmly saying, "You treat me like this because you want to get revenge on Ren Dongjie, don't you? He found another woman, so you went to find another man, and even his best friend! You think this will make him suffer, is that it?"

Ling Shaoyun looked as if she had been whipped; her beautiful face immediately contorted, her bright, clear eyes filled with pain, and her pearly white teeth bit down hard on her lower lip, almost drawing blood!

Qi Nanzhi sighed sympathetically, looking at her with a knowing gaze, and slowly said, "I want to tell you two things. First, if you love a man, you have to love his flaws too. Second, if you try to hurt a man like Ren Dongjie, you'll eventually find that you're the one who gets hurt the most..."

"Enough! Shut up!" Ling Shaoyun suddenly raised her slender hand and slapped Qi Nanzhi across the face. Tears streamed down her face as she hissed, "I hate him so much, and I hate you so much too. Neither of you are good people..."

She jumped out of bed, hurriedly put on her coat, and rushed out of the room, sobbing, into the deep night.

Qi Nanzhi shook his head in frustration, a sudden pang of sadness gripping his heart. He had always loved seeing the happy smiles of lovers in mutual affection, and hated witnessing the heartbreak of a young woman…

He couldn’t help but start blaming Ren Dongjie: “Why does this guy always make girls so sad? And why do I always have to clean up the mess?”

Suddenly, a sweet voice chuckled: “Because cleaning up such a difficult task is our hero Qi’s specialty!” As the voice spoke, two slender figures drifted in through the window, carrying a rich, fragrant breeze, and gently landed on his bed.

Qi Nanzhi sternly said, "Wei Hong, Yi Cui! How dare you two mock me?"

Wei Hong gave him a charming wink and said sweetly, "Oh dear, we sisters have always been quite timid, unlike you, Uncle Qi, whose courage is greater than the sky. You even dared to offend the little princess of the Divine Wind Gang!" Yi Cui

smiled and said, "I think he's really drunk too much. Not only has his courage increased, but even... even that... hehe... is several times bigger than usual!" After saying that, the two of them giggled and laughed, their delicate bodies trembling like flower branches, creating waves of breasts and buttocks, a magnificent sight!

Qi Nanzhi looked at one and then the other, his Adam's apple bobbing rapidly. He suddenly opened his arms and pounced on them, pulling Wei Hong and Yi Cui into his arms at the same time and pressing them heavily onto the bed.

"Ah...no...I hate it..." the two women cried out in unison, their slender waists twisting and struggling, their equally delicate arms and legs wrapping around him, feigning resistance as they entwined themselves against his broad chest and back. The three of them instantly rolled together on the sheets.

Qi Nanzhi, panting heavily, anxiously and skillfully slipped his hands inside their collars, quickly reaching their high, firm breasts. As he felt the soft, elastic flesh with his palms, he feigned a fierce expression and sneered, "You two provoked me yourselves. Don't beg for mercy when I make you cry out for your parents later!"

Wei Hong's pretty face flushed red, and she bit her lip, saying, "I'd rather die than beg for mercy! I'd rather die than submit today!" Although her words were forceful, her heart was already melting and surging to the extreme. She couldn't help but secretly hate her body for being so weak. She had seen plenty of men before, but for some reason, this rascal's touch could arouse her desire.

Looking at Yi Cui on the other side, fine beads of fragrant sweat glistened on her pink cheeks, her eyes shone with a shy yet alluring tenderness, and her two round, white, beautiful legs had already automatically risen, her ten delicate, bamboo shoot-like toes gently extending and skillfully rubbing and pressing against Qi Nanzhi's scrotum, making him almost burst into ecstasy.

A tearing sound rang out, and several tattered pieces of cloth appeared on the floor, while two naked beauties lay on the bed!

Qi Nanzhi's lust surged, and he suddenly lifted Wei Hong's snow-white, full buttocks high, thrusting his erect penis forward forcefully! Wei Hong trembled, letting out a scream mixed with excitement and pain, feeling the thick, fleshy rod violently part her labia and smoothly penetrate her overflowing, tender vagina!

"Oh...you heartless devil...ahhh...you don't understand...don't know how to cherish a woman..." Her delicate, flushed body trembled and heaved under his violent thrusts, her lips half-open, panting softly. Her melodious moans were interspersed with murmured curses, making her appearance even more alluring and seductive, arousing a desire to conquer her from the bottom of one's heart!

Qi Nanzhi naturally wouldn't let go of this beautiful woman. He vented his passion on her youthful body with unbridled pleasure. This was a hardship for Yi Cui, who was waiting on the side. She watched this passionate scene with envy, her slender hands involuntarily caressing and wandering over her own body, sometimes kneading her red and hard nipples, sometimes stimulating her gushing lips, hoping to slightly relieve her increasingly intense desire.

Suddenly, Yi Cui felt a large hand lift her from her waist, and she was involuntarily thrown into the air. She gasped, her legs instinctively clamping together, tightly wrapping around Qi Nanzhi's neck to regain her balance. Qi Nanzhi chuckled mischievously, "Little beauty, since you're so impatient, I'll take care of it for you!"

Yi Cui gave him a flirtatious look, moaning, "How...how do I take care of it? You only...only one thing to eat!" As she said this shameful thing, a surge of warmth welled up inside her, an uncontrollable rush from between her legs.

Qi Nanzhi laughed heartily, steadying her with his hand, and lowered his head to her dark, fragrant pubic hair. His long tongue probed, skillfully sweeping across the tender pink petals, then began to gently lick and suck. Yi Cui couldn't withstand such intense teasing. A series of joyful moans immediately filled the room. Her pretty face was flushed, radiating a sweet and alluring charm. Her fair legs were tightly wrapped around the man's body, and her slender waist swayed wildly back and forth, seemingly even more intoxicated and

experiencing waves of pleasure than when she was with him! The autumn breeze blew gently, and the starlight quietly spread down. In such a beautiful night, three naked 　　men and women were freely engaging in intercourse, enjoying each other's young and vibrant bodies to the fullest, indulging their emotions and desires... **********

...

"Young Master Ren, you flatter me! I'm not some stunning beauty..." A languid, soft female voice came from inside the sedan chair, chuckling softly, "On the contrary, I'm terribly ugly, which is why I hide inside all day, afraid to show my face!"

Ren Dongjie stared at the unmoving sedan chair door and sighed, "I'm afraid Miss Jin Yezi is too beautiful, fearing she'll stun all the amorous men in the world, so she hides her unparalleled beauty, refusing to let us mortals feast our eyes!"

Jin Yezi giggled, mockingly saying, "People in the martial world say that Young Master Ren has a sweet tongue that can deceive girls to death. I used to..." "I didn't believe it! But seeing you today, you truly live up to your reputation!"

Ren Dongjie said calmly, smiling slightly. "Many rumors in the martial arts world are unreliable. If I really had such a silver tongue, I would have already convinced you to follow me wholeheartedly, and I wouldn't still be unable to see your face!"

Jin Yezi was silent for a moment, then said softly, "Do you really want to see me?"

Ren Dongjie immediately replied, "I want to see you like crazy!"

Jin Yezi chuckled and said charmingly, "But after you see me, you'll only have two paths to take!"

Ren Dongjie asked, "Which two paths?"

Jin Yezi's voice suddenly turned very cold. She said, word by word, "Either you marry me, or you kill me!"

Ren Dongjie was stunned, and after a long while, he stammered, "Isn't there a third option?"

Jin Yezi replied without hesitation, "No! Anyone who sees my face will only have these two options!"

Ren Dongjie scratched his head and said with a wry smile, "Hearing you say that, my curiosity is only growing stronger. I really want to rush into the sedan chair without hesitation and see just how stunningly beautiful you are!"

Jin Yezi said softly, "Then why don't you come? Are you that afraid to marry me?"

Ren Dongjie sighed, his brow furrowed. With a pained expression, he said, "I am indeed afraid, but not because I'm afraid of marrying you... To be honest, I'm afraid that I

won't be able to support you after I marry you!" Jin Yezi stamped her foot heavily in the sedan chair, and said coquettishly, "You... how do you know you can't support me? Don't you have any confidence in your ability to earn money?"

Ren Dongjie said calmly, "I really don't have confidence. Because supporting a girl who uses pure gold as a hidden weapon is not an easy task. I think only a powerful gang could do it!"

Jin Yezi suddenly stopped talking, and only soft breathing could be faintly heard from inside the sedan chair.

Ren Dongjie cleared his throat and continued, "But even the wealthiest gangs never think they have too much money, so as soon as they heard about the 'Crimson Flame Treasure,' they rushed to send someone over to get a share. The amazing thing is that the person they sent happened to be Chief Ling's benefactor. The Divine Wind Gang couldn't arrest him, couldn't beat him, so they could only stand by and watch!"

Jin Yezi finally spoke again, sneering, "That's right, I do want the 'Crimson Flame Treasure,' and Zuo Leidong was indeed bribed by me, but I didn't order him to assassinate Madam Ling! If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do!"

Ren Dongjie smiled slightly and said, "Miss Jin, you've probably misunderstood. I'm here today not to accuse you, nor to start a punitive expedition! I just have a small question I'd like to ask!"

Jin Yezi's tone softened a bit, and she said softly, "What is it? Just tell me!"

Ren Dongjie's face turned serious, and he said in a deep voice, "Zuo... " Before Lei Dong died, he told us that you had asked him to secretly enter the 'Treasure Pavilion' to examine Chief Ling's last words in order to track down the whereabouts of the treasure map!

Jin Yezi slowly said, "That's right!"

Ren Dongjie's eyes suddenly lit up with a strange light as he stared at the sedan door and asked, "Where did you get the key to the 'Treasure Pavilion'?"

Jin Yezi asked in surprise, "It's a bit strange. I didn't know that the map to the 'Crimson Flame Treasure' was in the hands of the Divine Wind Gang. But more than half a month ago, someone sent me a letter, telling me to rush to Jinling City to seize the treasure map. The letter also included this key, saying it could bring me valuable information. After I met Zuo Lei Dong, I learned that it was used to open the 'Treasure Pavilion,' so I handed it over to him."

Ren Dongjie pondered for a long time, then suddenly asked, "After Zuo Lei Dong read the last words, did he tell you what they contained?"

Jin Yezi said, "Yes! Zuo Lei Dong told me..." "Tell me, Chief Ling wrote down the agreement between himself and Jade-Faced Rakshasa in his will. If he were to die tragically, the treasure map would be delivered to Madam Ling. If Madam Ling were to also perish, someone else would receive the map..."

Ren Dongjie's heart suddenly raced, and he asked nervously, "Who is this person?"

Jin Yezi sighed and said, "I don't know either! Zuo Leidong didn't reveal the person's name at the time. He just smiled mysteriously and said, 'It's unbelievable that Chief Ling would consider this person a confidante. It's better not to reveal her name!'"

Ren Dongjie scratched his head in disappointment and sighed, "In that case, my lead is gone! This person has repeatedly plotted to assassinate Madam Ling; her ruthlessness is truly chilling! Do I have to wait until she's captured before I know her true identity?"

Jin Yezi suddenly smiled and said, "That's not necessarily... " "Absolutely! Zuo Leidong, though seemingly rough, is actually quite shrewd. A few days ago, when the 'Treasure Pavilion' caught fire, he already suspected the arsonist's aim was to destroy the gang leader's will. So he meticulously copied the contents of the will and kept it separately from the original in two different places, just in case something happened to him..."

Ren Dongjie suddenly jumped up, excitedly asking, "Where is that copied copy? And where is the original? Do you know?"

Jin Yezi pondered, "The copy seems to be kept in the 'Green Jade Hall' at the main altar. I'm not too sure about the original, but judging from Zuo Leidong's tone, if he were to be silenced, someone would deliver the original will to a highly respected hero to help him capture the culprit and avenge him!"

Ren Dongjie nodded, clasped his hands, and said, "Thank you for providing such valuable information, Miss! I'll take my leave now!" With that, he flashed away and disappeared from sight in the blink of an eye.

Long after he left, the sedan curtain was slightly lifted, revealing a pair of sharp yet alluring eyes that gazed intently at the space where he had just stood.

"You are indeed a very charming man..." her murmured words echoed in the silent room, sounding so languid, so indifferent, seemingly both affectionate and indifferent, each word carefully enunciated: "But if you insist on being my enemy, I will still kill you without hesitation!"

************

The night was bleak, withered leaves fluttering in the air. Although it wasn't yet late autumn, a chill already lingered in the breeze.

Ling Shaoyun's heart was colder than the autumn chill, as cold as ice!

She ran wildly down the deserted street, the autumn wind whipping her hair, but unable to dry the tear tracks on her cheeks. She couldn't remember how many times she had cried tonight, only that she had never shed so many tears in her entire life.

"You'll eventually find that you're the one who's hurt the most..." Qi Nanzhi's words were like a knife piercing the deepest pain in her heart. His slightly mocking and contemptuous expression further wounded her fragile self-esteem.

—Qi Nanzhi, I will make you regret this, for your rude rejection and humiliation of me tonight!

"As for Ren Dongjie... Ren Dongjie... he'd better die!"

Ling Shaoyun shook her head violently, as if trying to erase the images of those two hateful men from her memory, but she couldn't. She bit her lip angrily, her gaze falling on her heaving breasts, which weren't large, but were full of youthful vitality and fully developed.

"Men are all lecherous wolves, only thinking about wantonly playing with and bullying girls here..."

she thought bitterly, gradually slowing her pace. She reached out and gently tugged at her bodice, the thin fabric immediately taut against her breasts, vaguely revealing two small, delicate nipples.

She then realized that in her haste, she had only put on her outer dress and long skirt, forgetting her undergarments by Qi Nanzhi's bedside. Her pretty face flushed red with embarrassment, and she almost jumped up in frustration and panic.

"I actually left my underwear in a man's room! How utterly shameful!" What...what would he do with them? Would he throw them away without hesitation, or...or...keep them as souvenirs? He...he'd at least smell them properly, wouldn't he...?

Thinking this, Ling Shaoyun felt her breathing quicken, a strange, indescribable feeling rising in her heart. Her legs went weak and she could barely walk, so she leaned her warm, delicate body against the wall.

"What's wrong with me? Why did this happen?" she frantically looked up and silently questioned the heavens, but there was no answer, only the bright stars twinkling playfully in the night sky.

She took a long breath, trying to calm the surging heat in her blood with the cool air, but the thought that her most intimate underwear might be in a man's hands, perhaps being wantonly licked and rubbed by his nose, mouth, and penis, made it impossible for her to calm down!

"Does it smell good? You...you tell me quickly, does it smell good..." Ling Shaoyun slowly closed her beautiful eyes, her thin red lips unconsciously murmuring. One hand lifted her long skirt and directly touched her flat, smooth belly...

When her fingers touched the already overflowing, tender petals, a surge of excitement mixed with guilt rushed to her head. She couldn't help but tighten her slender legs and cried out in a soft voice, "Ren Dongjie...Qi Nanzhi...I want..."

Suddenly, she awoke from her lustful dream, cold sweat immediately seeping from her fragrant, snow-white skin!

--I...I was actually calling out both of their names at the same time! Could it be that what I was hoping for in my heart was...?

Ling Shaoyun dared not think any further. Her slender hands trembled as she covered her disheveled clothes, and she staggered as she turned around to leave. But as soon as she took a step, a figure flashed before her eyes, and suddenly a lewd-looking man appeared out of nowhere.

Startled, she immediately struck out with her palm without thinking, shouting, "You audacious madman! Get out of my way!"

The man casually blocked her slender palm, then pinched her fair wrist, laughing lewdly, "A madman never leaves willingly, especially a lecherous and shameless madman like me. I guarantee you've never seen anything like it in your life!"

Ling Shaoyun's pretty face turned pale with anger. She kicked the man's groin with a flying kick, while simultaneously launching a series of rapid and ruthless palm attacks, changing into five completely different palm techniques in an instant. The eldest daughter of the Ling family had received guidance from many renowned masters since childhood, and had dabbled in dozens of martial arts, making her no pushover.

Unfortunately, she suffered from a common flaw—a jack of all trades, master of none! So when she encountered a true master, those techniques she hadn't practiced enough were completely ineffective. No matter how swift her attacks, she couldn't even touch the hem of his clothes.

"Hahaha... Little girl, you have quite a temper! But I love taming a wild horse like you..." The man chuckled as he dodged and weaved through her punches and kicks, his eyes lecherously scanning her curvaceous body. Suddenly, he reached out his filthy hand and grabbed her breast, laughing triumphantly.

Ling Shaoyun was both in pain and terrified, knowing she was no match for this man. She gritted her teeth and said, "You... who are you? Do you know you'll suffer a terrible fate if you offend me..."

The man squinted, brought his hand to his nose, and chuckled, "So fragrant! Miss Ling, every part of you smells wonderful, especially your undergarments. I can say with absolute certainty! Hahaha..."

Ling Shaoyun's face paled, and she stamped her foot in shame and anger, saying, "You shameless bastard, you were peeping at me... I..."

The man grinned, saying, "You can masturbate, but I can't talk about it? Alright, you can come with me now, and you won't have to suffer anymore." "I'm being tortured by fire! Follow me, 'Chu Tianliang, the 'Eternal Joy Whip,' and you'll find plenty of fun!"

Ling Shaoyun was shocked and said in a trembling voice, "You're Chu Tianliang, one of the Four Great Lechers?"

The man nodded arrogantly and said slowly, "Now that you know my name, you should understand that you can't escape my grasp. I advise you to obediently listen to me!"

Ling Shaoyun's heart sank. She bit her lip and suddenly leaped towards the roof, her speed far exceeding her usual speed. But when her feet were only three feet off the ground, her "Huantiao" acupoint on the back of her knee suddenly went numb, and she immediately fell helplessly to the ground.

She struggled, rubbing her aching back, and watched as Chu Tianliang approached with a sinister grin. In a panic, she burst into tears: "Ren Dongjie... Qi Nanzhi... you two big bastards, come save me... save me!"

Chu Tianliang said menacingly, "Accept your fate, Miss Ling, no one can save you..."

He was about to strike her pressure point to silence her when he suddenly heard a cold laugh behind him: "How do you know no one can save her?"

Chu Tianliang's face paled at the sound, and he whirled around to see a young man standing coldly under the starlight, staring at him with lonely, cruel eyes, devoid of any emotion.

"Who are you? What do you want?" Chu Tianliang spat out eight words through gritted teeth, his lewd face filled with murderous intent. For a lecherous thief, the most infuriating thing is having your performance interrupted just as it begins.

"My name is A-Ping! You'd better get lost now!" The boy's voice was calm, without a trace of anger, as if he were exchanging polite pleasantries: "...Otherwise, I'll kill you right now!"

Chu Tianliang laughed wildly: "Good lad, quite the boast! You think you're the leader of the martial arts world? Heh heh, even the renowned 'Three Great Constables' wouldn't dare to be so arrogant in front of me..."

Although he laughed loudly, he inexplicably felt a faint sense of fear. This boy seemed to stand there casually, but he exuded a chilling aura, like a drawn blade, ready to kill at any moment.

"You still have time to get lost now..." the boy suddenly spoke again, slowly saying, "If I draw my blade, it will be too late for you to regret it!"

As soon as the word "to regret" left his lips, Chu Tianliang suddenly felt an invisible, heavy pressure, like Mount Tai pressing down on him, making it hard for him to breathe. Startled, he mustered all his strength and leaped backward, managing to escape the encirclement of his opponent's invisible killing intent. Still shaken, he patted his chest, not daring to linger any longer, and immediately fled.

A-Ping didn't chase after him, but bent down and released Ling Shaoyun's pressure points, saying calmly, "Miss Ling, you're such a grown woman, why don't you know better? Running around at night is very dangerous. Come back with me now!"

"What do you mean by this? Are you lecturing me?" Ling Shaoyun jumped up, then frowned and snapped, "Don't think that just because you saved me you can spout nonsense like that! Let me tell you, I won't accept your kindness! Go back if you want, I'm not leaving!"

A-Ping frowned and said, "That lecherous Chu might come back. If I leave, you..."

Ling Shaoyun interrupted, "My safety is none of your business! Hmph, I was just lying on the ground to lure him in! Do you think I really can't beat that lowlife? Who asked you to ruin my plans? Don't flatter yourself!"

A-Ping's face darkened, and he said coldly, "In that case, Miss, please take care of yourself!" He gave a slight bow, then lightly leaped onto the wall and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Ling Shaoyun stared at his retreating figure, her eyes gradually reddening. She stood there blankly for a long time before dragging her heavy steps slowly toward the main altar.

************

The third watch of the night had passed, the stars began to dim, and the moon quietly peeked out from behind the clouds.

Ren Dongjie stood in the "Green Jade Hall," brushing the dust off his clothes and shaking his head with a bitter smile.

He had been busy for a full hour, searching every corner at least three times, even digging up a rat dropping, but he still couldn't find anything of value.

"Jin Yezi, oh Jin Yezi, you're not lying to me, are you?" He sighed and sat down in a chair by the window, closing his eyes and falling into deep thought.

—If Jin Yezi wasn't lying, and Zuo Leidong really did hide that handwritten transcript in the "Green Jade Hall," why was it gone now? Could someone have gotten there first?

—Who could have taken the transcript before him? Most likely, it was the murderer who had committed so many bloody crimes! Could she be someone everyone knew?

—Yes, that must be it! The gang leader mentioned her name in his suicide note, so she risked exposure to kill Zuo Leidong to silence him! But how did the "Soul-Stealing Needle" end up in her hands? And why did she have the key to the "Treasure Pavilion"? Yes, the key… the key…

Ren Dongjie frantically tapped his head, feeling an important "idea" stirring within him, yet he couldn't quite grasp it…

Just then, a sudden chill ran through him, an overwhelming sense of crisis creeping up from behind, instantly coursing through every meridian in his body!

He had no time to think, and lunged forward with a sharp "sizzle"—even with his lightning-fast movement, a long tear was ripped through his vest.

—If his reaction had been even a fraction slower, he would already be a ghost in the underworld!

Ren Dongjie inwardly cried out in relief, his left sleeve flashing downwards. His powerful inner force generated a surge of air, propelling him into a graceful somersault, and he floated lightly to the window. The

moment his feet touched the ground, he saw a stunningly beautiful figure standing gracefully in the moonlight. Although the woman's face was veiled in black gauze, and her delicate body was completely enveloped in night clothes, her unparalleled beauty could not be concealed by any fabric, like Chang'e, the moon goddess, returning to earth.

Ren Dongjie swallowed hard, speechless for a long time. His intuition told him that this was the murderer he had been searching for, the mastermind behind all the bloodshed. But for some reason, at this moment he felt neither anger at narrowly escaping his attack, nor pity for the woman's viciousness, nor even a desire to know her true face beneath the veil! Only one thought swirled in his mind…

—What a femme fatale! I must possess her!
