Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack
Chapter 1595 - 1575: Hunting Down the Carefree Young Master?
"What business? How do you know about it?" Luo Qianqian was suddenly full of surprise. Isn’t it said that assassins never betray their clients? Who spread this?
Clients aren’t that stupid to expose their own identity, right? Moreover, spreading it not only warns the person about to be killed but also exposes the client to possible revenge.
Sky Inquiry Tower has no reason to ruin its own reputation either. Exposing such matters, isn’t it asking for trouble?
The person to be killed? Could it be that this person knows someone wants him dead? And even knows who was hired? Then why speak out?
"How do I know? It’s already widespread... Besides, the people from Sky Inquiry Tower have indeed checked out and left," Bai Jian said matter-of-factly.
However, he immediately frowned tightly.
Who actually spread this news? Sky Inquiry Tower is not a place where just anyone can enter. Even if someone wants to hire, they need a messenger and have to write the target and the reward on a note. If Sky Inquiry Tower is satisfied, they come for a fifty percent deposit and collect the other half after success. If not successful, they return the deposit. But so far, Sky Inquiry Tower has never returned a deposit. If dissatisfied, they return the note.
And those who go to Sky Inquiry Tower even disguise themselves or hire someone else.
In other words, apart from the involved parties, no one knows who they are.
"When I heard the news, they said Sky Inquiry Tower left to pursue Carefree Young Master. It’s said to be the request of the fiancé of the woman he assaulted."
After a moment of silence, Bai Jian said, "This Carefree Young Master is quite famous in the martial world, but that fame is just a notorious name. I haven’t heard that his martial arts are that good."
Bai Yinshu staggered unsteadily in the room, "What the heck? Carefree Young Master?"
They’re after him? The whole Sect is after him? How does he not know?
And when did he ever assault a woman? He only ever sneaked into yards to steal flowers, alright? He’s a real Flower-picking Thief, only stealing flowers, and rare ones at that.
At most, when discovered, he’d leave the name of Carefree Young Master, that’s all. He covered his face, unafraid of being recognized. The name was casually picked because he was holding a bunch of Carefree Flowers at the time...
But he’s not a Flower-picking Thief in THAT sense!
He wanted to explain but realized he had no identity to clarify this and awkwardly scratched his head feeling innocent.
Would anyone believe it if he explained anyway?
Given that identity, no one else knew about it.
Luo Qianqian was full of surprise, "Carefree Young Master again?"
"Again?" Bai Jian looked at Luo Qianqian curiously, "You know him too? Did he do something to you?"
Luo Qianqian quickly waved her hand, "No, no, before, when I stayed at the inn under Sky Inquiry Tower, I heard Carefree Young Master was staying there..."
"Are you talking about that inn packed with people these days? I passed by when I came, and besides the strong fragrance, I didn’t notice anything special," Bai Jian frowned. He had heard about this from the maid at the inn’s entrance, and he wasn’t very clear on the details. However, he looked puzzled, "If Carefree Young Master carries such a strong scent everywhere, wouldn’t he be easily discovered?"
Bai Jian nodded seriously in the room.
Exactly, exactly, he’s just stealing flowers, not that foolish, alright?
It’s just that those particularly fragrant, high-quality flowers are planted in the gardens of various offices, so he has to wander around.
He hasn’t been caught that many times, has he? At least in Southern Li, he didn’t remember ever being caught.
He never considered that someone before him might have used the name Carefree Young Master...
Luo Qianqian nodded. She felt the person she saw that night was Carefree Young Master. The scent on him wasn’t as strong as in that room. On his body, it seemed just right and not effeminate.
Plus, it matched his demeanor quite well.
Thinking this, she frowned deeply, contemplating Carefree Young Master’s features but couldn’t recall them, only remembering those eyes.
After a moment of silence, Luo Qianqian asked, "Does Carefree Young Master have a pair of peach blossom eyes?"
Hearing this, Bai Jian looked at Luo Qianqian in surprise, "That’s what’s said, but I don’t know..."
Everyone in the yard woke up and listened to the conversation of the two, inevitably feeling a bit solemn.
Could this Carefree Young Master be a decoy hired by someone else?
The more they thought about it, the more plausible it seemed, and everyone became more serious.
Luo Qianqian chatted with Bai Jian for a while, casually tossed him a certain Gift Pack, and let him leave.
Bai Jian also knew there were others in the yard, and they were paying attention to him, so he didn’t stay long. He nodded and left.
Luo Qianqian stood in the yard, even more hesitant. If that person was Carefree Young Master, why did he do nothing? And he seemed rather gentlemanly, didn’t he?
Silence, silence is Cambridge tonight...
"No, how long are you going to stand there thinking?" He Wenyu couldn’t take it anymore, directly pulling her to sit down, "When did you see those peach blossom eyes? He didn’t do anything to you, right... Did you take safety measures...?"
"He Wenyu, can’t your imagination be a bit more outlandish?" Luo Qianqian was speechless with a black line across her face, all written with exasperated disbelief.
What kind of safety measures? What safety measures?
With He Wenyu’s expression, she’d only mean that kind of safety measure!
"I’m not sure if it’s him, but I have never heard of the title Carefree Young Master before," Luo Qianqian scratched her head in frustration.
Immediately, she heard He Wenyu say, "He’s a Flower-picking Thief. It’s best you never meet him!"
Hearing He Wenyu’s serious tone, Luo Qianqian couldn’t help but feel a bit reassured amidst her helplessness, "Relax, if he wanted to get me, he’d have to think twice about the pile of minced meat and bone soup."
Though thinking back, she found it a bit gross... but Luo Qianqian had to admit, the effect was superb!
It effectively avoided all sorts of malevolent gazes and protected herself well. Although she occasionally had nightmares, she believed she wouldn’t choose differently if it happened again.
Blood debts are paid in blood; harming their Nine Heavens Pavilion people naturally comes at a bloody cost.
If Blessed Land Cave Heaven seeks revenge for that person, she’ll stand her ground!
However, there’s always a feeling of oddness in her heart; compared to the Carefree Young Master affair, she worries more about Blessed Land Cave Heaven.
After all, one is an unknown Flower-picking Thief, the other, an antagonistic Sect already on bad terms; the severity is obvious.
