Liu Yulai was startled and suddenly looked up.

He saw a person dressed in black, holding up a Token.

On the front of the Token, the characters "Iron Blood" were engraved.

Liu Yulai was taken aback:

"This..."

Just as he spoke, the person dressed in black flicked their hand and threw the Token over.

Liu Yulai caught it clumsily, turned it around to look, and was instantly shocked:

"The young lady’s Token?

"Are you... the young lady?"

Chu Qing’s lips twitched:

"Do I look like her?"

"...Then who are you? How do you have the young lady’s Token?"

Liu Yulai’s suspicion arose again.

However, this person had not alerted anyone and had directly entered his study... Such skill should not be underestimated, so he did not shout loudly.

Chu Qing fumbled inside his robe, then took out a piece of evidence and threw it to Liu Yulai.

The effect of throwing a Token and throwing a piece of paper should naturally be completely different.

But for Chu Qing, it was the same... The sheet, which should have fluttered down gently, swooshed straight to Liu Yulai.

Just as he was about to reach out to catch it, the paper floated down slowly, and he hurried to seize it.

Spreading it open, his expression turned odd.

He felt that what was written on the paper was complete nonsense.

Things like ’If you join my Iron Blood Hall, you will be second to none’ ’Tie Chuming’s promise is worth a thousand gold and will never be broken’, it seemed like selling one’s inheritance without remorse.

Yet there was Tie Chuming’s private seal and Token on it...

It left Liu Yulai with no choice but to believe.

He understood that no matter where this person had come from, they must be the young lady’s friend.

He immediately stood up, cupped his fists, and bowed:

"I greet you... Brother, I wonder what brings you here in the dead of night?"

Chu Qing once again took out the letter he had obtained from Guo Wang and handed it to Liu Yulai.

This time, Liu Yulai received it with solemnity, looked at it in the firelight, and his face turned ashen.

Although he was always at odds with Guo Wang, he recognized the handwriting unmistakably.

But even so, he couldn’t imagine Guo Wang would dare be so bold.

He looked at it back and forth several times, gritting his teeth and said:

"Such a vile traitor, with the ambition of a wolf, deserves to die!

"You need not worry, I’ll capture this traitor at once!"

Chu Qing waved his hand and passed Guo Wang’s head to him... 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Liu Yulai was momentarily amazed, feeling that the young lady’s friend was simply a marvel, arriving and just handing things to him.

Looking at the contents of the bundle, it was weighty yet its origins were unknown?

But upon discovering blood seeping from the bottom, his heart tightened.

He hurriedly opened it, revealing an extremely gruesome head right before his eyes.

Liu Yulai gasped in shock:

"You actually killed him?"

Chu Qing finally spoke again:

"Those few gangs are merely a minor nuisance; if they dare come, it’s a death wish.

"I’m here now, not for anything else...

"Guo Wang hired assassins from Mirror of Sin to kill you.

"Within two days, they will certainly appear to take your life... Just like today’s battle with Lianshan Seven Strongholds."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yulai was suddenly enlightened:

"Was it you who saved me today?"

"A trivial effort."

Chu Qing waved it off.

"So my benefactor is right here!"

Liu Yulai quickly cupped his fists and bowed:

"The life-saving grace is beyond repayment, please allow me to bow to my benefactor!"

He was about to kneel down.

Chu Qing reached out to stop him, and despite Liu Yulai’s utmost effort, he couldn’t kneel.

Then he heard Chu Qing say:

"Who said you can’t repay?

"I need you to do three things for me."
